R2X-2-E7-eU | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2X-2-E7-eU | Dragon Age Inquisition - Let's Play - #19 Farmland Security | hello everyone and welcome back to Dragon Age Inquisition my name is Ben Pope let's get back into what we were doing what we were running away from a tough fight that's why we are actually doing I'm gonna go back this way where it's not so bad yeah rather it's been fun I just need to know that I should go Venture far from where my quests are there's another there's a bear and a wolf fighting oh there's two wolves uh let's take out the bear first wow foreign probably a wolf something other and dudes coming okay I can stop swinging now good no they attack when you least expect it let's look at the map really quick I could probably use the camp why isn't the Camp showing up on the map I want to thank those of you who are watching my series for this and other games it's nice to get the support and it's nice to get the comments I really appreciate all of that and um yeah I'm hoping you actually oops a chest hoping you stick around and um one-sided blade for level seven hmm are we level seven yet no level six yeah I will keep making videos obviously I'm not looking on uh on giving up and uh hopefully you keep watching them SmackDown I think she was trying to say something or shut her up all of this loot that's just for sale for sale nothing else let's um hello dude that's gotta hurt I mean frankly me pulling him from way up there to here should have like you know done a lot more damage I want to go up here for a second just because it seems that stuff could be up here it's like a path where will the path lead I am trying to do the Farmland security Quest one of these things and a chest let's grab the chest by its uh schematics I won't probably ever use but you never know oh golly it's one of these um well going around the outside seems easy enough but then actually might be doable uh it doesn't appear to be exactly the same shape as in the sketch at the bottom um two three let's go up here what the heck hmm restart why is it so funky why is this one away why is this one way out here supposed to be part of it I just want to give this a try and technically that one's like extra like why is that one why is that one here huh um never mind thank you it really does seem different than what is on yep I don't know I'm assuming if I don't do those things out of the whole game it won't be the end of the world or will it be it's hard to tell these games but this Crystal Grace and hopefully we gracefully slide down the cliff yeah yeah all right Western outskirts laughs um yep there's these guys first all right oh come on ah come on I'm gonna drink a potion solos not solos that's uh varic a bear we gotta fight the Bears give me the puppy foreign thank you that's one tough bear all right more moves I hear them howling too bad I can't have like an animal trait where I'm like actually I'm friendly with the wolves they can't attack me that would be nice I know I could be using the horse right now but hey just just one of my friends around you know if I hop on the horse they go away um Farmland security spot should be over here yay oh yeah that's good uh let's go towards redcliffe Village I guess we have been on this bridge before thrifting the farm yeah let's just go towards that Farmland security spot I also want to go to the actual War Room in Haven and get towers built and I didn't know that that was going to be the step to get it done but one of my viewers commented and um told me that so thank you will I be able to climb up here it's negative cool song all right I should probably go around oh and that me going into the map but change the cool song you guys gonna make it all right okay good for you you made it oh we've cleared that place before I love a kick over here dude that was some damage fan damage decorative gems and lambswool I suppose that's you'll never find I'm not picking up all these um plants all the time I'm not even sure if I'll use them ever but suppose it's worth picking them up final location build watch Towers operation is available so that's good that tells me right there that I would have to face it the room the War Room Let's Travel on over and sip some tea while the loading screen is going oh spellbinders after allies with special properties take them out first weaken your enemies that's a good tip okay so here we are assume this is the War Room somewhere up there let's get that Quest most of Harry said that without no my Lord I don't know where the other Nobles are I suggest you ask ambassador montelier oh you're him thrin Inquisition quartermaster I'm doing what I can to supply this mess if you find what I need to fill one of my requisitions I'd appreciate you bringing it in um okay well I guess I need to know something about this what did you mean when you mentioned requisitions I'm making this Inquisition run with what we have but we're not a real army we're stretched thin on materials so I've put up a requisition list for anything that could help our people here take a look you find some iron and a good login site maybe harrick can get our troops better weapons all right if I have material for a special order do I bring it to you just take it over there one of my boys will take the materials or jot down what you found all right so farewell tapestries and weapons what's this thing a logging stand um I thought I have some Velveteen maybe not enough really loud out here your kind killed the most holy lies your kind let her die shut your mouth maina Knight captain that is not my title we are not Templars any longer we are all part of the Inquisition and what does that mean exactly sure back already Chancellor haven't you done enough I'm curious Commander as to how your Inquisition and it's Herald will restore order as you've promised of course you are back to your duties all of you majors and Templars were already at War now they're blaming each other for the divine's death which is why we require a proper authority to guide them back to order who you random clerics who weren't important enough to be at the conclave the rebel Inquisition and its so-called Herald of andraste I think not uh let's be a bit mean actually I don't know the Inquisition seems about as functional as any young family how many fat in fact yes because that would never happen to the Chantry so centuries of tradition will guide us we are not the upstart eager to turn over every apple cart um I'll make sure they see reason in val Royo you're right all right let's get this over with who is in this room nobody oh it's this person carrier Don will have more pulled soon how fair is your quest to seal the breach um people are frustrating me I have yeah I'm trying doing everything within my power task closing the bridge is a heavy burden burden I hope you do not carry it alone remember on draft day but on draft day did not carry the chance of light alone she had generous advisors even her husband do everything within your power but remember those who would help you well I thank you I appreciate your Insight mother Gisele take it for it is you walk a diff and there is little enough I can do to Aid you in any case I pray this Inquisition proves less brutal than its predecessor right um is there anything I can do to help you or your people deliver this list and the items on it to quartermaster friend she could get us what we need your healers huh it may not seem how about you give me one of your healers well until next time to have him in the party be like hey dude feel my dudes foreign | Ben Pope Games | UCn2I06jejl4dwqr6C7x3p-g | 2014-11-26 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en |

VRinspC1gso | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRinspC1gso | Breaking The Second City Wall -Lisa Elzinga | it was super cool we're small I'm just a small-town girl having a lot of fun then I went to LCC and I'm like okay really sink this out and get a real life you gotta you gotta have a job when you get done with life here so I went to LCC and I met this man named guy sandal and I know you don't know him but he's a goober so you should know I'm because he's from Escanaba but he was my teacher and he was so inspirational I'm like this guy is insane and I want more of this so I dropped out of college pretty much after LCC and by this time he was the artistic director at the Purple Rose Theatre which I'm sure you guys have known because Jeff has big ties up here so Purple Rose Theatre I did it in 95 and 96 I was apprentice and being an apprentice is hard as crap so there your day consisted of you're going to work in the office or the box office you're gonna set up lights you're gonna tear down light you're gonna do sound you are gonna do costumes you're gonna build that set you're doing all the backstage stuff that all actors don't appreciate and it makes you better because you get an appreciation for what goes behind what people are actually seen these tech guys and my son I blow my mind it's not a gift I have but I sure know how to embrace it and appreciate it and I think that that's the one lesson that I learned from theatre is really embracing it and so I went to the Purple Rose and at the end of it guy comes up to me and he goes I knew they were doing a world premiere of Lanford Wilson it was a big flippin deal right and I was at practice and I was on the wagon like whoohoo and he says we want you to be in it you're gonna be LuAnn world premiere Lanford Wilson Pulitzer prize-winning I'm like this little small-town girl you want up there acting and I just I couldn't wrap my mind around it I never felt worthy of it until you're out there doing it and you're doing all the stuff that I'm telling you and you connect with it and you figure it out and you're like man this is such a fulfilling thing I was shy I was timid but I came out of it somewhere in that when I got done I'm on fire I'm like I can go anywhere I can go to New York I can go to LA I've got the world by the hand you know and I said what are you weak at Lisa and I was super weak at improv and I thought gosh am I gonna go after improv and I had a friend doing second city in Detroit and I went and watched him and this troupe was amazing they had they had chairs two chairs on the stage and they had eight actors and out of nothing they're creating these scenes and they're jumping in and they're playing and then they're adding on and then they're creating and you're like what did I just watch that came from nothing that came from a suggestion and the audience that nobody knew was going on my mind was blown and I had a whole story I had the beginning and it had the inciting incident I had the climax I had the day in your mind you're just like this is insane I just watched that in an improv and some of it was funny and some of it wasn't and that's what I think people don't get about improv sometimes it's funny sometimes it's not and you build a show or or you take that to the next level and you say I am gonna take that chunk that we just did I'm gonna create a scene or I'm gonna write a book or I'm gonna do a play or I'm gonna take a screenplay and there's nothing when you could change your frame of mind there's nothing you can't do if you say that was so freaking funny I'm gonna create it I did one and it was timely back at then right it's not timely now but I did a whole screenplay about a gay guy coming out of straight thought it was funny wrote the whole screenplay it was funny to me and we were doing all these funny jokes like a Will and Grace thing it was so inspirational but I never did anything with it you know just because it was done you know at that point it's done but it was funny at the time I'm I've got a whole thing that's more serious that I wrote about suicide and that's timely I'm progressing on it I'm doing it and if I have my druthers we're gonna do it it's not funny I'm gonna do it because it's a yes and mentality so that's that's just a little bit of my background I love theater I love improv but then I walked away from it because I had a three pound baby girl up here and I live downstate and she needed so much care I just dropped out of theater for a long time and I took I took all my love and put it into this little body and then I started doing a little bit of directing and I started doing a little bit of commercials and I started in and that I had this lovely son over here and I thought he deserves the same thing she had so really I'm 20 years out from doing any of it and I miss it it's like it's something that's in your soul and you miss it so much and I when I was asked to speak I'm like gosh I don't know what I'm gonna speak about but I do real estate now for 18 years I did an optician work working with a doctor that drove me absolutely crazy and I said I'm using these tools all the time I'm connecting with people on their eyes I'm connecting to them and a very emotional level that these people don't know that they're I'm not a good person to have you nurses say well I got the diabetes and I'm not that nurse girl what I am is girl let's pick out that best frame for you make you feel like sexy little thing before you walk out of here that was where I shone and what I hope that the people that are running businesses take away from anything I say today is set up a platform in a playing area where people are set up to win not where they're gonna feel like that every day is a torture to go in there and all I can do is gossip about how shitty my job is set up a working environment that's a lot of fun for somebody to go to work something where people feel inspired and you're growing people you're not just growing your business because that will make you a better person down the road so that's where I'm coming from when I got asked to do this I'm like how do you do that in a 45-minute thing but here we go we're gonna do it so I love they made this real I look so cool when they did this how do I start it y'all okay wait Jake tell me how to do this and then I gotta do this look at this what I look so official look how cool that is then I'm gonna keep that forever on my website I think that's cool anyway I actually am calling this breaking the second city wall or the improper way when we do second city shows we used to always have two titles and there were goofy things like you just take two things that had no combination together to throw them in and it ended up with you it's your show so I actually make my relevant but that's I think it's really funny that they do that you'll notice it now you're going to see a second city they're gonna have two toilets fellowship so like I just told you I'm sick of seeing the more planets I am sick of seeing losses my bosses and not care about what their employees are but if they're growing everything in here to be there I'm sick of watching the news and everybody debbie downer I am sick of the way people treat each other and I'd say am I going to change this is remedy in today if you change the way you're going to look at things the things you look at will change I'm just never going to be an actress I was a twelve-year when I was 12 years old that super shy super introverted don't see nothing my mom always believed the children he was seen about her you didn't do something because she says and that was a very difficult thing as a child like I don't get it why like that there's nothing I can't do but that was a very strict way that she I remember my daughter acting up one day and said up Katrina I'm not explaining to her why she can't do something that's like you don't have to explain to your daughter anything she doesn't do it because you said so now I love my mom my mom's beautiful person but I don't you say it that way but I said mom I am NOT raising the that has to and so I'm going to raise this kid differently and I did it was different from what she did it's different from what her parents did and you just break the rules where you see that you set up different rules when we watch people grow voice is really bad today I'm sorry dice en ville I'm going to go back to him because he was the best director I ever had and this is where you have to make their very first shift before you even think about never crap listening it's most difficult skill that we have and he nobody doesn't break nobody ever listens to somebody surely because she's thinking the next thing you're going to say to combat them you couldn't fight them you're right and nobody's gonna be about it the human right we have yes but because I said so you can't do that how many things that we hear every day that's negative values that listening is the act of watching to speak and it truly is when you're on a stage and you've got all these lines and you've memorized through by yourself and then you hook up with that person on the stage all of a sudden they look at you expecting me here right he said that differently that what's in my head he touched me and it sent a different message to me if you're listening to somebody generally listening they should affect the way you're asleep so we I always think that theater will improv motherhood whatever starts by truly listening to what your people around mercy now how you choose to react to that is what I'm hoping to change if you're having a fight with your husband your thing is yet but you just have the conversation you're not listening it's not gonna go anywhere it's just an elevator but if you like yeah you're good and I think we can fix that but guess what you know maybe it's just the dressing room I had a boss doctor yeah he's a man of the building it's his business he had almond and working for him he was kind of a sexist kinda guys the girls all gossip and write down the ones that dent or with little bit and I it's just like this is the most screwed up environment I feel like I'm not growing here but I stay there hurry to it and finally I just started talking back to him look I don't know why you're doing that book a wedding in the perception like I can't believe you suck their dick that all the day long if you don't believe what he's doing say it there's ways to say that that's not like an idiot or lose your job so say it say what you mean say statements don't don't just sit there and eat it there is a way to cheat eternal fire so start with listening verbal and nonverbal and then know that you want to speak if you look at the merriam-webster dictionary I love number two to hear something with thoughtful attention and to given consideration that is huge that is listening to me they didn't have to get the consideration so I know I haven't done an improv yet I love Tina Fey I love her her love her because she speaks the truth she's out there preaching a lot of this stuff right now she does artwork the most beautiful artwork if you want to see some of the stuff that unit based oh yes Santa today but I love this life is improvisation I can't talk saying yes allows you to move forward and I'm putting up stockers you're not blocking you're saying yes let's do that you know it's a different way of thinking because you're not denying somebody you're actually looking on a way to grow the conversation and grow the people around you so yes but he's going to jump off the cliff he's going to jump there's other ways of looking that you can fly you can hand live you can take a balloon there's different ways to get over that hump I didn't think I could get up here to speak for 45 minutes but if you say yes and then I'm going to figure it out that's how you do it yep I'm going to do that and let's figure it out so I want to talk a little bit about my daughter first she was probably about five or six and she's talking to her little brother and she's telling the story in the backseat of the car I'm driving and she tells the story and I'm like oh my gosh that was a good story is a good story and I've said this is amazing I'm gonna go home and break it down just like she said it and I did I put it in her baby book and I'm like whatever will charm I'm gonna share with my kids someday and you come up here and Debbie's ads the debbie is our cousin and we come up to dinner she was at least and it show you my try like yeah shun her drive this girl true like nothing I've ever seen she had little theories and followers and I'm like in duty choose 15 if it's for night and so I said Debbie I have this book the Catrin that are the story that Katrina came up with we need to illustrate it after Christmas we're going to give it to all the grandmas right first of all can I just show you some of these drawings that she did and it's that but these are her drawings that she puts my daughter story this is amazing this is not a 15 year old artwork right this is not 15 year old artwork she was the hundred years this story is the cutest story as she Illustrated it so we did a small and you know what they loved it there only oh my gosh we need to make this a real good story we got to do a huge printing a so we printed up like thunder in the suburbs and we went to craft shows and it was so cute is right here in Marquette the Children's Museum was carrying me okay neat Children's Museum is like oh yeah that's done by a kid we want debbie is now finished college and she just hear it okay so this is what she made she did this in college with a bunch of people she took at our little book our little book look at she made advertisement posters for who is marketing this word and crashes week he turned out they don't have the author's sign it for you I mean we barely make it one another so Debbie went out to college and she said I'm going to create it into a the kids can get up at night and they can get out a story that could push the character so it's animated for an iPod it's weird iPad it's so cool it is so cool and then this is the advertising she had so she's still doing some with this so she's amazing and then my daughter went off to college it should be blowing my mind because she wants to be a doctor what I'm not smart enough I would have never said me a doctor here she is she's gonna be a doctor someday okay any way to pay for that okay my son over here is only 15 I know but he he's really a computer genius he writes programs he write your website he acts just acting you know talking about a family trying to break in your system so they did this thing it northern and they're like hey can you uh you're gonna compete this and he did we didn't have another time they're not gonna do these systems and capturing the flag right you do introduce I never heard this but that that's illegal if you should be doing that but it's by an abuse they can't be wrong right like I could do that yes can do it so he does it and he's up against all these people and he took second place my friends as impression so everybody's like learn how to do that man I'm even going to get arrested it's my senior women hacked into programs I thought it was crazy but he did it he took second place the only team that beat them were two seniors or not college to attend I mean they were going to go out to do this as a career thinking flipping juniors and you know why is to do this because I said yes in a friend of mine said best thing you could do for your son is to $1,000 and then have them figure it out you need to have a figure out how much it costs to put that on there and and what does it take to write a program what does it take to do that and he did it well this is you've heard of that that's the best lesson yet not popping into college okay and $100,000 to see if you can figure out College yes and hmmm let's see what havoc across this peoples course the environment they put this thing because I think my son is hilarious the rush that's one [Music] I'm a dick Davis detector that slowly [Music] you got I left my butt off but he said hey mom we got a snow day and I want you to videotape comes down he's wearing that jacket the slippers I'm like dude I have no idea what they're doing no let's do it I taped it walk into the dining room and what you don't know is we're outside and like it's freezing it is a snow day I'm like this dude is nuts and he trusted thing like to get all ready to jump in anytime I'm laughing so hard well it was hilarious and that's how it's gonna snow day care for me but he's like mom you want to yes let's do that in because yes tangent about embracing in a person embracing their idea going out and unless they are we make it better I had no idea what he was doing so I was gonna play with him because playing is how you get the best ideas these guys are giving a podcast and you know they do it they throw out a word or idea and then they feed off of each other that's improv my friends that is like hey which you can only undo that and it builds and it's cool and if you try to get your environment I guarantee whatever you put out there to change and if you take you keep your office granted ignoring it you're going to do something you slipped out a new pool since everybody's that sale we're going to brace all the way I swear you get different workout [Music] so yes and I also want to talk about my love and she's a very different personality for me I'm a high I do she's very secretary off she was a secretary a politician that she was a secretary for lawyers she's so smart and not like me her joy right now she volunteers at the hospital filing that's great no but she loves that she's not quite important and then she's just going to work Nikki with the baby that she Coleman this is how she's doing every time and she's happy when I needed a secretary then I still bounce ideas off her she's gonna get a copy and this I'm gonna be like up there like now because we're already writing the book that's why that gets to do this so I want to implement some in there she's gonna help me but anyway I'm doing real estate I am freaking out who's so busy my business is growing faster than this it appears whole another ball game but I said mom I need you to straighten me out because I'm a girl like we would've got 5000 ideas and she tells me she let's me redundant like to you know so she's really good for me in that way she files she organizes I look at papers who don't have an anxiety attack because that's my anxiety it's like oh gosh I'm gonna do our paperwork is like torture or somebody like me as you know so my mom was really great so I I'm under I'm stage managing the show and I said not on you backstage people okay she has no idea what I'm asking she's gonna go backstage she's got a gimpy leg and she grabs my brother and they show up it's pimpin we had this huge cast its music was moving sets in and out of doing costume changes she's like ESPN she's like okay you need to do that you need she was stage managing in the backstage it she didn't even know it because I cleared this environment she agreed as she jumped in a little bit so when I needed the stage manager you know which is like okay my mom is great like that because we can't fail in her eyes whatever she can't believe I get on stage with yourself my dad is hilarious he's got a sense of humor like my son it's one of those things you're just like dude you're so funny and you say I'm under the radar and it blows my mind maybe they do it and I said daddy are you Sheriff Sharon just drop that I'm directing his show on this point and I said the sheriff craft I knew how to do it was yeah okay and he shows up and he starts doing this and you see with this my sentence okay we got red lines they'd be in mind confessing he has to go to a Super Bowl as he does headsets premise you so he went off to a Alamo and he comes back and also he's got boots the tangale exactly now there was hope for those holy overlays whatever those things are is that a shares Tennyson dead we got customers costumers we'll do this all very well I'm gonna buy a bed but he wanted to be anything look good and here he is embracing he had been on stage he kicked butt he's on stage of some amazing women is like best time of my life now I'm not trying to take us to a dark side but I are my dad dying and I just went I just got back from my mom's house and I just realized that ever so if people have the idea that you're the best damn person you have that environment they're going to be drawn to you because it's a safe environment they're not going to be knocked down for what they safe environment growth and explore and it's in Olympia I didn't know I had a legacy but that is going to be my legacy I'm gonna hope that my kids say gee she created an environment that we grew it so that's my dance story so slow improv listen II guess Mia those are the first main rules listening yes Ian you walk away with nothing out to this entire day that's what I want you to walk away now there's another part of improv that we say is don't ask a lot of questions so if somebody gets out there and they just initiated a scene because you remember you've got a couple of chairs and actors that's all you've got on a second if somebody gets out their name machine and you say that's not really the way it happened it stop denying that person or you say well what you mean by that you just deny you're not growing anything you're just getting out that you're actually putting the brake on because we have to catch you up to the other actors that you write it's not there it's not the way to play and I don't recommend you your life instead of just throwing out questions and like said these low like if you say something profoundly stupid make a statement made the statement that add time to it and see where it grows don't ask questions just makes it like it'll work well so I kept this one came to me last night firstly gets up there they said I am writing a tomato if you say what is tomato it says saying that if you say you're the most beautiful caterpillar practice like that that's available in become a butterfly did you just not create a core semen you're writing it today you know you know what I mean you can do something it can be as stupid as you want but if you get on board of it instead of shooting it down it thinks we grow and it made grown a beard plant and maybe in a cool way you make things and then it's the stupidest thing I can't even on the inside all right they saw it they lived through it they're gonna forget in five minutes but I saw something really cool in Chicago oh and I wouldn't even know what she's saying because if they turn into the show I'm ceiling I don't went to the show and they're doing an improv this lady and I love her we didn't have to sign it a way to take the shell off see tortoise so that they can make better and the guy busts up he's like what am I gonna say to that and he's like that's really that you took this job you know and then they froze the scene on the oh man don't cut it out man that's that's that's cool and all of a sudden others another guy jumps in and he takes the form of the tortoise without a shell and he's moving at all he really likes you oh my god should it just go to this Gracie I'm like that is so brilliant and it's stuff like that that you're never going to see in a normal play and if you see it improv you're just like that is so on fire cool and I hope they don't sue me for ever saying that but it was so brilliant it was cool brilliant I was telling you about that doctor that I work with and there's nothing to light a fire under me at this point you do it so this doctor I've heard them for 18 years hey he's like don't you think really so I completely sat down to two days a week right now and he's like you're gonna you're gonna back down now he's Jim you started you know like yeah I'm done to chase away my friends I started getting clients and I'm like God I need to drop out one day a week he's like should I be getting a replacement issue you should because you just told me I can't do something except you'll let me show you how I'm going to keep this and I telling you it took me in a whole other direction if I see anyone he's like we've done it before he's brilliant my husband my husband just knows how to support me and my crazy wonderful but my husband isn't really bad job at the same time he was in a job where he's at computer and not this so that his boss receive his blood in that chair he's working every day he would assign a cast this is what you're gonna do today what you're gonna do next and micromanaging every 15 minutes I want you to write down what you're doing by which the bet you know I mean it was that ridiculous if you ever do that to your clients or your people fire yourself because it's rude it's a waste of time and you do one of them he even wrote in there I think like I just wrote on this thing for about you know I'm going to use that petty and that's not really person I've ever heard of going through that I've heard a lot of people so my husband gets exposed to get semanas seminar and they're doing these and they are doing a story like we have this idea this huge event how do you guys want to build it we think it has to these three things have to happen okay that happens how with them you get smaller connectors right it's called in one three five so you have a big idea you break that down into three smaller ideas and then you break each one's down to five texts and then you say to each person on your team I want somebody to pick up something tell me what you really picked up and now people are giving their own tasks because they excel at it they're going to back to this work and they're going to do a much faster than anything so try them in your business people try at the f-35 system and let people pick their own tests and then watch them grow because if they're picking it out and they're deciding the path and you're not dictating it you're actually going to grow like that whatever so try something like that this is the chairs so we do have two chairs I'm sorry this I just love this one so if you had two chairs that could be a car it could be a space ship or a submarine it could be anything they look popular when it's a car you got the taxi guy drivin guy gets in the seat you do a quick scene you boot them out of the car to somebody I can saying you have a note whole new seat it's an actual game we actually have a game on that and it's a really fun way to just throw stuff out there like robbing a bank that's always a fun one when you're in the car scene and so it like they could be anything it's a time machine it's a cubicle it's a dinner table if you just put a bunch of people in a room and say what's our plan just watch what they do well I think this is this and see if it can grow you all are doing music stuff put them in a room with a bunch of instruments and see where it's gonna go I love that idea I actually think it's brilliant I hope you do it I hope you do do it maybe we'll do it today they have a bunch of instruments that we could do a lot of fun things with we might have to try it Tina Fey again because I love her it's the rules of improv the first one is to agree always say yes respect your partner that in other words don't we steal that scene you may be funnier than that person that has started the scene but if your constant sealer on the scene for the bottom bunk guess what nobody wants to work with you nobody wants to work there and set up your little scene so that you can take that up above okay nobody wants to do all the work for you to take on shine so now I'm gonna break that know when to give and take all the time figure that up if you're always taking and taking and it's about me you're not living in the regular thing you need to get through it makes the best actors be open-minded second rule is yes it is so always agree is to say yes and is to give it power and more to it agree it is something to build it up give it the power that it means bro the septum of third biggest statements right no matter don't ask any questions just try statements for a while when you are in your everyday try to say yes to everybody just try it you're gonna see people change the way things your husband's gonna freak out if you stop disagreeing with them just like oh cool so I just hmm and then the very important thing is there are no mistakes there are no mistakes there are no mistakes in life there are no mistakes in there sitting in with the patiently I think I am sorry I think that there's a certain value to be in real of somebody I have a patient patrina in I catch it teacher glasses and looking and she starts crying and I'm like truth but just not them so I take this kid into a contact lens room by herself so she will cry and we tuck and I called up the corncob particles you know I'm breaking a little bit of rules that is not a client this is not a mutation thing but if you have that connection with somebody embrace it read somebody was offended - oh and I did this that's four years old I'd like I'm doing it - it's the last right and you get this part and I'm like well I just completely completely it was gone in out you could have driven a semi right through beeping the whole time and I was like so the first thing you have to do when you have that freakout moment of something just kick to the gut you need to stop you need to breathe because the first thing to do is assume so take that woman three and then you take a look at the person you're onstage with and you connect with them and I swear to you you practice it enough or you have enough knowledge if you just interact with that person it will come to you if you have if you have the kick in the gut moment from whatever just stop they'll react breathe throw a little bit about this life take a minute you have stage fright read another thing that I do when I have I right so I came in at five minutes straight I was really nervous about it right so we do this thing called the Queen walk okay so I will up I do this this we do this in the purple girls who walk with circles and you get our clean walk down and you start walking taller we started a little better and those fields don't hurt as much you're gonna build up their self-esteem and I did today but y'all don't know and I walked in hey what's going on in there but you guys do a music book you know and I'm scared shitless to come in here but if you take yourself out of it and you walk around and you take your power back it's really good it's really good for you to feel that power we walk through I used to do it all time that's cute [Music] that room and let me tell you you knew what I want to protect I don't know my husband's new bosses and everything and I go to the Christmas so I'm nervous about this right like I've been queen walkabout that day and I'm to take my power back and I'm gonna be the most interesting person you ever met I might not be the most pretty I might not be the smartest rumors there because I'm not going to be but I'm getting the most interesting thankful take your power whatever that is that goes long connecting the other thing if that nice to do this thing about stealing from the best and it's true we do this thing we do this winter blessing like I just need to do a bunch of lessons for the Purple Rose and second city you know that goes with the best those are the best of the best and I learned them and how do I take them and bring em to you steal from the best steal it own it make it your own and quiz and then I hope somebody else walks away with just the best accurate and then lastly the most important once a is known integrate the rules these are goals these are rules for playing these are rules for growing these are rules for relationships with your husband or your kids or your boss or other actors or whatever because guess what we're just walking through this life together figure out to do it with somebody to bring value to somebody else is the most rewarding thing about it but if you have to break that rule because it's destructive or it can't be done no one to break that word and then walk with it own it and we walk your way through life you can do so thank you very much it's very nice I'm going to show you guys these two you don't understad is a couple things a shark and a fish tank will only grow to eight inches but in an ocean it will grow to eight more the shirt will never outgrow its own environment so the scene is about you if you are walking around thinking small like you can't do it that's as far as it'll grow if you expand your horizon to the size of emotion you will promise this is a disk this is free to process I challenge you to get everybody even more group dissed it shows different things and strengths for each person I happen to follow under my eye I know that's gonna shock all of you but I also carry on how to do you meet so I'm a dreamer and I have all these ideas and I'll direct and I look I like to eat with people as best back there so when I directing this show I'm going to hire that person that might not the best person that I'm going to grow that person you're not going to see that grow roll it any other way because that person I'm increasing their strength and so I seem like a little bit different my mom falls over the best seat that is more of a clerical or steady stable she's the perfect complement to me and if you find people that work with you and if they're everybody's the same you're never going to grow but if you take an active a passive person they're actually going to grow well if you have a task oriented person and a people person if you're working on the other side of the spectrum you're actually in for your visit I feel all bosses should really know their client their pay their workers their employees and take that to the next level second what / success donates the money that is up in an S or C you are torturing them on a daily basis that is not with your ability for and they will never try that situation however if you take them and put them on a creative personality watch them blossom together as a group the stage of time it's amazing so I love this disk program check it out and then it goes to guys I have fish to a shout-out to all their problems Carol Burnett OS from shadow improv that's the now is there anything any better is still out there whose line is it anyway in the living color and then I have cookie appeal in here because Keegan this guy right here he was with me at second city in Detroit I love geniune and he's a yes am guy he's like awesome they're so key and peele check them out they're awesome drew think comedy is the book that I study when I was at Second City highly recommend it it's kind of an old school one but it's really cool it's like the physics that make up Tina Fey Bossypants I told you I'm a huge fan tunicates book this book also yes please with Amy Poehler so she's everything yes the interesting yes please please give me more dad bring it on and I love it Rachel Dratch was also at second city in Chicago so and then me these are amazing people these are people that take risks they guests here and they really don't care if they fail they can still pick up again and that's all I got thank you [Applause] | Revolve CC: A Creative Conference |

A_iOYK13cdU | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_iOYK13cdU | Continuing Plunder! Brutal Extraction of Africa's Resources | welcome to today's webinar titled continuing plunder brutal extraction of africa's resources my name is jacques bahati i'm a policy analyst with the africa faith and justice network welcome you today as the chair of the accountability working group of the advocacy network for africa here in washington dc the accountability working group which organized today webinar was established to create shape and lead the advocacy network for africa's collaborative initiative to deploy accountability tools to contribute to eradicating century-old and ongoing exploitation of africa so today's focus is the continuing planner brutal extraction of africa's resources it is about the pillaging the exploitation the extraction of natural resources the corruption the poaching of africa's fish all this must end but how and who will make this happen it is our hope that you will journey with us as we find to make sure that we are the last generation to witness this painful threat of our riches thank you for joining us today and we want to thank those who sacrifice time and and any other personal um pleasures to make this uh event happen for more on our work you can email me at bahati afghan.org now it is my pleasure to introduce our moderator mr eric ginger a visiting professor at george mason university please eric take it away um thank you very much uh jack and i thank everybody those i see and those i can on this um uh e-platform um we're going to go quickly we don't we have we've got two hours and uh we want to you know stack a lot of things into the two hours um it is my pleasure to be with you all and to be part of this um uh very important and i would even say amazing event we all know that um africa is entering a complex challenging but i hope ultimately liberating phase of its development and here i'm talking about the african continental free trade area the single market we're about to go into that and we need all the tools all the resources we have so there's need to singularly focus on what we actually have and if what we have has been subject to centuries of exploitation it may be time to completely rethink it how we are managing those resources god-given resources so this program is going to focus on four of those areas we're going to be focusing on mining because of the extensive resources the continent has we're going to be focusing on oil and gas and we all know that we africa is probably the second or the third most endowed region when it comes to oil and gas we're going to be talking about land we know africa if there's no land to talk about and finally we're going to be talking about fishing these are four critical resources that the continent has to reconfigure its use of and management of those resources um we're going to start off with our friend dr nimo bassly who is in nigeria one of the countries that has had where the exploitation of oil and gas has the most impact impact in terms of resources it made available to the country but more importantly to external actors impact in terms of the environment and the amount of destruction and the lives that were destroyed as a result of that um we will try to connect to nem nemo you should be in an area which has um where the the where the the the problems are not only visible but can bring home to all of us exactly what we're talking about so nemo if you can hear us um dr dimo is director and founder of the health of mother earth foundation and if you can add some more information great i can see you um on the screen so if you can add some information about yourself that would be fantastic but please let's get on with it tell us about um um you know this sucking of africa's oil and gas thank you so very much uh it's it's a great opportunity for for me to be a part of this conversation today i'm on the move uh i'm on a field trip uh with uh friends from oil watch international from across the continent from outside africa and we just will be just been going around organiland to see the depth of oil pollution that has been left here since all extraction was stopped by the local communities in 1993 and we all must have heard about the very serious the repression that followed they had action by the communities which was included the execution of ken salawiwa on 10th november 1995. the interesting thing is that since that time since 1993 the oil wells have been shut down they've not been reopened and i'm just going to take my photo off so that i can manage the the bandwidth that i have if if uh if i have another opportunity when i get to a location where i headed then i can show you photos from of the pollution that has remained even though all extraction stopped so many years ago now all extraction began in nigeria in commercial quantities in 1958 at a place called libre now that all world number one was drilled in 1956 and is now designated a monument and i think that is very appropriate it was a monument to irresponsibility it's a monument to destructive extraction it's a monument that really really shows how bad things can go and um all instruction some people may say has brought a lot of words to nigeria but nothing has trickled down to the people it's brought immense destruction immense pollution and the organic example is very blamatic because in 2011 the united nations environment program issued a report of the assessment of organic environment and this should be a lesson to all the countries on the continent uh who are celebrating the oil fines in their territories and who believe that they could earn some income from from this resource now since since all became a major income energy in the early 1970s it has locked in on democratic uh manner of government if at that time it fed the military regime and kept them on and off in power for 30 years but even after the civilian democracy returned in 1999 we've had massive repression accompanying the destruction of this kind or this first fossil result that whole communities uh uh sat demolished bumped and now on the average nigeria has had one example this amount of oil spill every year for over 60 years you can just imagine the depth of degradation that has happened between 2018 and 2019 the national agency for detecting oil spills and responding to them reported that there were a thousand three hundred oil spills coming to an average of five holy spirits on a daily basis now that is an incredible amount of spillage you think about but this is not just all as we speak right now there's an oil spill ongoing somewhere in argentina now some this has not been in the news much because this is at the back of somewhere that is not so attractive to international media so this kind of environmental irresponsibility by transnational all corporations shell chevron exxon tutor any and the rest they just be completely behaving in a way that can be characterized as environmental racism in this part of the world and there are so many reasons for us to worry about this we don't really see where uh oil has brought about and added value to our economy oil or the oil-based petroleum business employs only one percent less than one percent of africa's workforce and this report can be found this triggers can be found in a report called um uh called um [Music] he just left i just forgot what the title of that that report is but um what you can find there's a report that shows that um only less than one percent of africans are found in the uh found their way employed by this sector and then secondly it's important to note that 95 or above of the investment in this sector takes place outside of africa 95 percent of the investment in the petroleum sector of what carries what is actually being implemented on the continent happens as a recorder and this is because the fabrication of the all the rigs the floating and storage operation stations they are all done offshore and brought to the continent and this shows clearly why this sector is not adding much value to our local economy and and actually as the world moves away from petroleum resources if africa continues to dig into it we're going to end up with a lot of trust stranded assets not just stranded ourselves we're going to end up with also stranded communities um in in nigeria in particular the oil corporations responding to the shift away from shift away from crude oil uh beginning to divest from onshore oil wells a company like cher is selling off some of his uh oil wells onshore and planning to move to deeper waters the report i was trying to mention earlier shows data about the terrible situation that the sector is in is called sky skies limit africa published by oil change international in conjunction with oil watch comments and other groups so if you can search for that you will find a lot of information that is really heartbreaking and so i was mentioning about shared moving offshore they're moving outside because they don't want to be held accountable for the degradation onshore and so they're moving offshore to where there'll be less regulation less monitoring and they're moving offshore because the deeper they go offshore the less they pay as realities to the nigerian state nigeria even has better joint venture relationships with this cooperation in some other african countries the governments get little or nothing except the pollution the devastation the land grabbing the displacement of communities and the horrible impacts of oil spills i talked about oil spills and if you never report in a gorilla it was found that the water the groundwater surface water was contaminated right across the carriage and soils were contaminated up to a depth of five meters as i move around the locations today to check the work being done and trying to remedy remediate the environment we find that in some areas the pollution has actually gone down as far as 10 meters 10 meters which means that this pollution don't disappear they sink deeper when they are left they're left on their own and we can see this happening in many spots across the continent the situation is not it's not any better in south sudan it's not any better in anywhere else that uh oil is in angola other areas and now where we're worried about this also is the issue of justice and not just resource justice but just the climate justice africa has contributed less than [Music] carbon okay so i just yes i'm gonna i'd urge you to to wrap up just you know in give us a key sentence that eases you out and then we will we'll continue and i hope we'll be able to come back to you with questions we've taken up a lot of our time right thank you so much um and i thank you for sharing the slides uh that kind of illustrates some of the things i was saying uh the takeaway for africa is one that the oil sector business is actually a dead end because the world is moving away from that and the price of all the price of a battle of oil has gone so low that countries like nigeria have to depend on borrowing extensively to meet up budgetary requirements so new opening like in a place like namibia in botswana and other countries and the east african oil pipeline from uganda to tanzania they're just investments to feed for the moment the needs of external territories and i think it's time for us to look for resources that will build integrate the economy of the continent that actually involves our labor force and involves the development of techniques using digital knowledge and other knowledge on the continent rather than following a pattern that brings nothing but degradation okay thank you yes thank you so much we'll come back to you with some questions and we hope that um in the process you'll also hint on these renewable resources which africa seems to have in great abundance uh you did say that um oil and gas will drive sustainable growth in africa you know one of your slides said that i'd like to zero in on that but before we do that let's we'll have to go to the next uh speaker and that's um uh it's gonna be our faith alubi from kenya i hope you with us uh faith and you're the executive director of the kenya land alliance and i emphasize the word land because if we can't control our land we control nothing else so over to you our faith if you're with us all right um his faith there i think i saw an indication that she was are you there faith um okay faith apparently we've lost the connection let's we've lost the connection to faith we will just very quickly come back to you and we'll lock it still have you nemo um i want you to address and i i recognize the fact that our other speaker alan from chris with us so that's wonderful alain bonjou will come to you shortly but let me go back to nemo and um ask you know the question i threw out about uh um the claim that oil and gas would you know help africa attain sustainable development but more importantly how do we keep that build on that but also tap into the renewable resources that africa seems to have in great abundance and you know i'm thinking about solar energy wind energy and hydraulic energy um nemo uh yes thank you so much for having me back um actually the slide that says african would drive development from oil and gas i was quoting what some leaders in africa union have said i don't believe that at all uh because oil and gas um from what i've seen the only nation where who can say they've benefited from this resource is norway and there are many reasons why that happened the technology because of the shipping uh development in my development but even for scott or what we call in nigeria stock fish maybe other africans called it something they are actually fighting so much to stop all destruction continuing or even happening in that territory so i think the debate for africa is renewable we have ample wind we have ample uh more than 12 hours of sunlight every day more or less so to speak this is the level of the continent because we also would not depend on the national grid you have to agree to reach some of us please go on a remote location will be very expensive and now where we can comment that's basically i think we we the the sound is very intermittent and we may be losing you um i know you're still there please come back in when you if you need to uh we will uh allow room for that let just allow me to go on to another speaker who's on the ground and this is these are the difficulties of uh the technology for those who are on the ground uh away from their offices and homes um i'll focus uh is with us is uh in cameroon from what i understand he's always on the road i never know where alain is but apparently he's currently in cameroon and driving between the two main cities i would call an alarm to address another area of another resource area that needs to be that we really need to you know focus on and these are africa's immense mineral wealth um uh from gold to diamonds and coal tan and and you name it uh uranium and so on so alan alain is going to be speaking in frank we'll have um kathy cathy in congo who will translate and um you know we'll play between the two languages africa has to figure out how to do this not only between french and english but also this uh you know arabic and portuguese and so on so anyway um foreign a intellectually [Music] foreign [Music] specialist fear of two people uh cathy um can you capture in summary from uh what alain has been saying yes eric thank you so much for giving me the flow alam was actually saying that he's very interested in the subject regarding the brutal exploitation of the continent the african continent's mineral wealth according to him we know the the gospel of complaining that pointing at others that they have been exploiting the the wealth of africa is asking many questions about why for example in drc in mali in ivory coast in central african republic and why why is the african diaspora not raising i mean the awareness of even raising fundings uh in the international market to sponsor at least the at the the uh not the industrial fact the industrial side of that business but even the how can i say it that the artisanal seasonal area of the market because he said that is a huge business but it doesn't understand why the african uh who are so uh we know to be intelligent and not using their intelligence to put and put it in put it to work to actually honor to build ownership of their of their of the of them of this mining industry because he said that he's uh he's sick of what he's seeing because he's preparing a documentary on this on this topic and he's uh tired of the gospel of complaining or pointing at fingers at others but he wants the youth he wants the youth to be aware of their responsibility he wants the intelligent the african intelligentia to be aware of his responsibility and want them to organize themselves and and mobilize themselves against it and find solutions i think uh he raised many questions at the end of his remarks uh i think we can come back to that why is for example why is the african diaspora not raising funds on the international market at least to seize the artisanal side of the market and why can't the youth uh create like a consortium to get to get a hold on their business and to get ownership of their own future because it's their future that we are talking about here yeah thank you very much foreign [Music] complaint cathy what uh exactly what alain is trying to say is that we have a lot of graduates in every in our fields but we are not pragmatic we are not traumatic and we are we are we are not getting a whole we are not we are not building ownership of our own uh destiny am i right i think is um so i'm going to ask alain um who have you know who's done some amazing documentaries on this subject especially in in the drc but he's done you know um he's done quite a lot of work on this and uh the one question i want to ask him is uh if there was anything he saw on the ground either from the policy front in terms of what the leaders the leadership of the country of the drc for example in terms of what the leadership is thinking or what people on the ground citizens are doing is there anything he saw that gives us hope and i'm just you should think uh whatever you like come on is [Music] is foreign uh kathy do you want to translate that please thank you eric thank you sorry allen just raised three or four main points uh the first one he was uh telling us that when he meets with the the government with uh uh public authorities in many african countries he is a they feel that uh they are overwhelmed they complain that they can't do anything because they are afraid of the world i mean the western uh countries i mean the powerful countries in the world so um and also even when a company a mining company arrives in any of those countries they feel like those companies are coming and bringing the power of those great uh countries to to the african council so uh uh public um uh officials in africa are just like afraid to to take control of that he also said that uh uh he noticed like a form of slave trade in many places where he's been to and this is it makes him sad to see that uh many communities are still being awfully exploited and uh chinese uh workers are all over the place invading their artisanal mining sector and then finally he took the example of drc where the government created a company on the paper but that company is still not a in you know i mean it's not working it's not i mean operate operational so he's afraid that uh we go over the same thing over and over and government is also those african government are also asking what the african diaspora is doing above it so they expected that african diaspora to come back and uh with and bring some uh some companies and funding and and take control and take ownership of the mining center especially the artisanal side of the the business allen please if i'm a mistake if i say anything wrong please correct me okay you're doing well uh i want to ask alan a final question and it is about uh which it's coming from both um anak and jacques and it has to do with whether the leaders you've interviewed and you've interviewed a lot of them are they conscious of the levels of poverty especially in those areas where these minerals are found are they fully conscious of it like in chad for example in drc um and um okay uh that's my question i'm just trying to reformulate it foreign that's good [Music] m [Music] um uh pointed oh cathy please why don't you take this you can go ahead eric was pointing at that to the need for global that the leaders here i mean and it's amazing that he said this that the leaders spoke he's taken images of you know he goes around filming a lot of these things he's taken images to some of the uh leaders in africa and some have actually shared tears seeing what they're seeing so evidence obviously that they've not been to those places um where they need to go to but alain said they tend to denounce global governance on the issues so obviously they believe that that's where the solution should be coming from but he has also told them each time he's interviewed them that they should be the ones who who pick this up and his emphasis now is on the diaspora the diaspora needs to organize itself that's the central east central message somehow got to figure out how the diaspora helps connect to the people who live in these uh in these mineral-rich areas and help them uh be part of the process of the of the uh of the production chain um alain will be with us he's driving but i've urged him to just to stay connected if he can and we'll come back to him with questions that we may have um i suppose i can now call on faith i want to see if faith is around and if she is it looks like she is so um say thank you for uh connecting and um you're the um executive director of the kenya land alliance kenya is one country that has had an amazing incredible experience also with the land issues even though what is happening on the continent now pales i mean the situation in kenya fails in comparison to what's happening in on the continent right now with um in madagascar in in in mozambique in cameroon countries where china and others are just coming and talking about land grab they're grabbing the line and in other countries so um um faith aloo bay uh executive director it's over to you please tell us about the not only the can the kenya situation but the whole problem of land management in africa faith uh thank you very much thank you very much eric indeed um it's such an opportunity i apologize i could not uh log on earlier i had wi-fi issues and i'm out in the bush somewhere called taita taveta it's like six hours from the capital city um it's a great opportunity for me to be here and i'd like to talk about the ongoing land grabs not only in kenya but across the continent and all this is tied into resource um extraction and and the resource cast so to speak so i had shared my powerpoint with lydia i'll start with kenya and give case studies about kenya and then we can expand their the conversation yeah they continue to plunder so i'd like to do some some a little bit of history because big brother and he told me to talk a little bit about land and the land justice question in kenya before we um expand the discussion we can go on lydia we go on yeah so our story as kenya started in 1895 uh when the colonialists were heading to uganda to find out the source of river nile and they passed through this beautiful nation and they called it kenya and then they colonized it when they colonized it on june that night 1895 we became tenants that will of the british east african protesters for us i think i was not i was not back i could only imagine how people back then felt but there were this free community this free society then all of a sudden there these pieces of legislation that they didn't even understand that are being imposed on them in 1890 between 1891 1897 and 1902 um the british masters colonial masters were giving incentives to settlers from the uk two thousand pounds to be exact to come certainly this beautiful place that they found raw materials free labor almost free labor and the natives are not that powerful so they can come and be colonized so between 1897 and 1902 there are certain pieces of legislation that were introduced in order to make sure that they take over the most productive lands in the whites islands in the central of kenya and along the coastal street between 1904 and 1920 the british introduced a policy to settle africans into research the the natives into results in essence adding kenyans into [Music] a sort of a village a sort of setting where they made sure that whoever is in the village initially i did not have to pay tax which had been introduced by the crown ordinance of 1899 and the crown returns of 1897 so they made sure that outside the villages with the results lives were a little bit uh tough and then if you are in the reserve then you are offered some form of uh compensation when you work on the plantation of the colonial administrator so this led to um it was a divide and role tactic because the natives then brought out the differences out of the natives instead of um the natives are sticking together what they did is that now they started looking at their differences you're a different ethnic tribe new york preferred and the unhealthy competition brought about uh um a lot of problems like the sport of problem in the coast uh where which still exists there are some of these issues that are cyclic and they still exist right now uh you can i'll be going back and forth so that you understand the calendar right now in kenya they're still squatters um i wonder how someone can be told they're squatting on their indigenous land where their forefathers who are buried but it happens and they are called squatters this is something that started in 1904 with the introduction of the policy land policy extraordinary progressive land policy by the british administrators from 1918 onwards there was forceful and violent displacement of the natives to pave way for multinationals that i'm going to talk about a bit later again because they are the agents of impunity in in the year 2021 uh some of the communities that were violently um evicted include the little talai court to karna kikuyu and most of us know the mao mao most of them were coming from central kenya and they were from the kikuyu community um the unilever case that had been addressed by the u.n security council addressed the land that at least has been taken away from from the talai and the court and the turkana uh uh the communities that live around the oil and gas uh um uh project um in the north of kenya where the the colonial administrator said it is idle land and unproductive so as such an example of such multinationals include unilever which they are active to date kakuzi limited uh which is owned um 55.7 percent of kakuzi limited is owned by camellia plc camellia plc has very powerful uh board members who um we can even say of direct contact uh to the powers that be in the uk let's go on lydia so um after after after the multinationals came into the picture there was land alienation creation of reserves are spoken about it then there was this um very tough strict and cruel colonial administrator called maurice qatar maurice qatar was the head of a commission that was looking into historical how land can be alienated to benefit the colonial master so some of the recommendations from this qatar commission report included that um they included that the locals the natives have enough land of the unproductive idle land that they've been given that's enough they should use that land well so the settlers still continued encouraging some more settlers to come from britain to come and settle on the white highlands and and and up to date up to date in us in a place called la lyekipia and and it's an example i'll give um 90 of the land owned in that area it's loaned but it's owned by communities or by families that have uh that were given those lands in the 1920s in kenya there was this talking uh africans who live in reserves do not did not need their livestock despite depending on on them for livelihoods there was a change of social and cultural norms there was an introduction of female circumcision as a form of subjugating women back then there was the mushrooming of independent christian churches and we know how churches can be used to to it's the opium of the masses they can be misused as well and then there's the impact of the world one the soldiers who went for war came back and they were more enlightened and they've started sensitizing fellow natives like you know what we can fight for our land because by then there are only two major problems in kenya the issue of uh freedom and land those were the two issues that kenyans started fighting for that is what led to the resistance and the agitation so when we're talking about education there are some very little grief retrogressive policies that were introduced like um [Music] natives used to live in reserves and then in exchange offer uh free labor to to or very old labor at a very minimal wage to to the colonial administrator and in exchange they'd live in the reserves the colonial administrator i'm calling them generally because they they took away all the productive lands there was the introduction of trade unions where the natives tried to organize and and and and just get their voices hard and amplified but of course um the colonial administrators would have none of that then there was the political protest and that is the emergence of political parties and and and movements liberation movements like the mao mao samoa the colonial era leader whose head is still in a museum somewhere in the uk there was a movement in the coast called the makatili lewa mensah all these liberation movements were fighting for two things freedom and land which had been taken away from them and then there was the new immigration of the europeans as i've said there was the preferential treatment of europeans as i've said then there's the quarter issue that came in because when when they took up the reproductive when they took up the productive sorry the productive lungs um the africans or the natives that were living on those lands were displaced um if they were not uh headed into a reserve um they had to go squat somewhere else especially on european farms so they were not recognized by the system so because they were not recognized by the system because they were not registered in aristotle they were not hired by an european so they were squatting when you're squatter you took what you were given and they preferred that uh that arrangement because when you are you're not recognized by the system then you take what you've given lydia so after the after the agitation period before i i go into the case standards and i'm going to go into mao mao a little bit after the agitation period of 1945 and the recommendations of the qatar report um but i just want to say you know we'll have to accelerate this because we're really speechless please go ahead yes yes i'll just show you how cyclic it is because i don't think kenya we are free and i don't think we have the land that the man went to the forest to fight for so after the agitation there was a state of emergency that was declared in 1952 to 1963 during that period is when there was an emergence of very serious movements like the mao mao so it was a matter of freedom on land and um the mao mao the that movement was banned actually people know it as the mao mao but the real name is the kenyan land and freedom army the kenya land and freedom army was banned until 2003 when president kibaki came in in kenya and when it was it was unprescribed um the kenyan human rights commission back then i was an officer of the kenyan rights commission um we went we took that case to the royal court of justice and and we were we pushed for the for the narrative that you know uh it was a colonial legacy to mistreat and punish and deal treatment and and and treat natives with such in such a cruel manner it was a government it was a queen's police it was the queen it was a state policy and some of the issues that were brought up and i'm going to show you some of the photos before i i shared this plunder some of the issues that were brought up back then was the issue of jurisdiction the issue of liability the issue of time limitation that 50 years after independence the natives cannot go back to the perpetrator and say that the perpetrator the uk government is responsible for the injustices that were made out to people during the emergency period but of course there is the definition of a human rights abuse and why it's not limited to time or space so the malmo case i wonder if it was a success considering that only 5 228 uh liberation heroes managed to get some form of token while they were in their millions because most of them were displaced back for them so how does plan that happen in kenya right now there's the tallow oil and if you can see the picture where one of our dailies is talking about the big lie fellow oil is a uk oil farm and right now they slap the kenyan government with a bill of 204 billion i think that is like 204 million dollars and we can't see the oil that is a case study it is current so we're wondering what what where's the it is the cost of oil but where is the oil that is the same with what they used to do back in the colonial era where um the multinationals used to be given land and institutes to come to kenya let's move on lydia there is um a second one uh called kakuze takus is where camellia owns 55.7 percent and camellia has been uh associated with the queen herself uh kakuzi there is a decision made by um most of the courts in kenya about their leases they own 43 000 hectares and um they during their day their haiti they used to castrate men so that they cannot be productive and and and they could work on their plantations until they they're still in existence right now uh they're the ones who uh produce macadamia nuts over kadu um and you can see the daily is talking about why the decision in cacouses is called alternatives because a uk court awarded the communities that live around kakozi some sort of token and but we are yet to know the leases they have 26 leases colonel era 1920 that we have no idea about this is current capacity still operating they have the biggest the biggest contract from china to supply avocados uh-huh let's move on media there is the best titanium it's operational in the coastal um area where quarters are saying that they're getting a raw deal this titanium uh um has been operating and and extracting um uh uh timeline so it's also one of the multinationals that operate in the coastal area and in this area the education levels are too low so um the awareness is too low as well um we continue in media um there is lycapia right now in kenya there is some sort of conflict where people have died in lycopia and i've just tried to illustrate um what the problem is if you look at large scale branches they are owned by families that were awarded this lands in 1920 include including if you've watched a film i think it's out of africa she's the biggest land owner in kenya with 1 million hectares and family was given land in 1924 she still owns that land and if you look at um the crown ordinance of 1899 as i've not i shared before up to today those lag scale ranches on ninety percent of like ibm including uh the lower ranch where most of the famous uh who come to to to to participate in the annual event there's even uh uh there's even one that goes around that the royals have a portion of land in those areas in 2021 from 1899. um let's go on as i conclude um as i conclude i'm almost done this is the second last slide um eric let's share the other document so that i just show you what the maumau reparation case um is like the mammal reparation case is is is a unique case because the victims got to confront the perpetrators and negotiated an out-of-court settlement the settlement was too little because each of the 528 victims only got around 340 shillings that's 340 and some of them had been castrated some of them uh birds have had enormous harm they they are they were maimed so you can imagine 340 pounds 50 years down the lane and this is the memorial that was part of the out-of-court settlement the out-of-court settlement had three paths a statement of regret from the then p.m william william hague and then uh this memorial and and and those little tokens that i've just spoken about so this document i've also shared maybe lydia can share it um can share it with whoever is interested but it's a six-page document that talks about the court case the out-of-court settlement and how unfair it is but the british kept touting it that you know this is a reconciliation document and and this is what we can offer for now so as i finish i just like to talk about the bottlenecks why why haven't we been able to address some of these issues this is the last slide i promised the multiplicity of laws it is a colonial legacy where one issue learned so many laws affect one one issue like you get in my country land you can have like 50 40 pieces of policies and regulations that affect land and lay people cannot be able to trace the entitlement in all those policies that become a red a bottleneck the national land restriction law and strength framework is faulty the enforcement is very poor absentee landlords in the coast the arabs allocated themselves very huge chunks of land and then they disappeared so in essence the the indigenes who are still there are just squatters so they're still leaving us quarters on their indigenous land because an ordinance made them scottish back in 1899 uh some successive regimes have never been able to address that in my country our president is a big as among us the biggest land owners so they they are not in a rush to address some of those injustices the repossession of illegally acquired land is provided for in the constitution but no one has the guts to do that and even if they are they they give such an award the enforcement is still a challenge and resolve historical land injustices is an issue that i have said all through my presentation abuse of power like the previous presenter said it's still very real here and it manifests when a government official knows because of the of the office they they they occupy that a project is going to pass there what they do is speculate so when they speculate they buy from poor people land very cheaply and then sell it to multinationals very expensively including the multinationals themselves can speculate reinforcement of the law i've mentioned and then of course there is lack of awareness um we are still talking about way forward the way forward um since we are still in the same uh situation away from what of course it's the law the rule of law and i hope that um one day we are going to enjoy it thank you very much well thank you so much faith and i mean i i see we could keep we can go for another couple of hours and not finish this subject uh it's such a passionate subject and a very important one uh we cannot have the africa we want we cannot um uh build you know this continent on a sustainable basis without dealing without taking head on these kinds of problems the problem of land from minerals the problem of of um of water and energy resources these are things we need for the development of the continent and as you i think the at the heart of it is the land issue so i'll ask you one question and then we'll move on to um uh professor aquate let me ask you you know you've kenya has suffered from this land problem but so have so many other countries on the continent what would be the two one or two things if you had to if you if you had other uh african land uh managers what would you what would you tell them from the kenyan experience that ought to inform action at the continental level i tell them two things number one it's important for the communities to own their own struggle because you can only claim a right that you can identify and point out and organize better and claim it so the communities have to own their own struggle number two there needs to be measures that are put in place for non-reputation because one of the key problems in kenya is the repetition the cyclic nature of the inland injustices that happened in 1899 they are still happening in my country and across africa for that matter and then i think the issue of having very corrupt leaders who enrich themselves at the expense of of their people so i'd say also corruption is a cancer that just needs to be cut well um thank you so much faith this is uh really important and i'm sure we're going to come back to you with uh quite a few questions and i can see quite a few you know in the chat room so we will uh uh let us give our last speaker the chance to to to to you know to say something on on fishing that's a an important issue and then we'll come back with questions a lot of questions for you faith for allah for nemo so please just hang in there with us and um i'll call on um me professor acquainted please you so much is in your head i don't know how much of it you can take out for this session but please it's over to you thank you so very much uh um eric and thank you everybody the adna team the um accountability working group team and of course my my fellow speakers above all the audience that is joining us i want to thank everybody um i'm going to just spend a little bit of time on this issue that normally in our lobby on africa's behalf something i've been doing for four decades we haven't really focused on this and it is the issue of plundering of the sea of people going to the sea and just taking out the wealth and trashing the place and the first thing that i have to say is it is not just an africa-wide problem when we put together this seminar we thought yes it's affecting africa and you know there are issues that because of africa's special position as a former colonized continent others were con also colonized but africa got its independence the most recently certain issues are just special to us i have to confess to you i was very surprised to see that this is a global issue and of all entities and of all stakeholders the government of the united states the federal government of the united states has declared that fishing is becoming a global issue a global threat a security threat and they have attached a new name to it it's a mouthful they call it iuu fishing i for illegal first you for unreported second you for unregulated so i you you fishing if you google it you will see and it is a huge issue everywhere but it is particularly bad in africa i also want to commend particularly my sister if you notice she called me a big brother when we talk on the on the internet he said i'm gonna call you big brother i said okay i'll call you wonderful sister she did a great job i wasn't able to put together my uh my powerpoint this is where the first point of my my um my apology because we've been rushing to do this but here is the key point there are wonderful pictures and we're gonna have a follow-up and put this together we have a ton of materials for people who are interested we will direct them to it so you'll be able to see pictures of what has been done to coastal communities all over the world and particularly in africa so for now i'm afraid that you have to just bear with me to paint a picture of three particular african countries where this issue has been big and we will provide the visual evidence later the first one is angola um what has happened in angola and is that of course the fish are dwindling for three reasons the the two first two reasons are important but we want to put it aside for now one of them is uh that the seeds are simply getting hotter and hotter and of course for any living creature if things get too hot you move to a cooler place so the fish are moving from angolan coast towards the uh south pole which means they go past namibia and more of the fish are moving to south africa a friend of mine said well yeah they are climate refugees so you are getting less fishy uh where are golems normally caught fish secondly when the sea is that hot it holds less of oxygen so even the fish that can tolerate warmer waters that stay they are dying because they don't have enough oxygen but the third whammy the the coup de gras so to speak is that then giant trollers from all over the world come in and they scoop up all the fish using implements and nets and tools that are illegal they do this under international law coastal countries unless there is two are close and they have to divide it coastal countries have 200 kilometers of their coast is is seen as uh similar to their land it belongs to them the resources are there as foreigners cannot fish there without can office there without permission but these giant strollers uh trollers come in and do this i noticed that dr nemo basically said that shell is moving its oil operations farther and farther out to sea because they know they they cannot be monitored is the same with the fishing because african countries don't have that large um navies so when the fish have been pushed away by climate change the little that is left these giant strollers come in and scoop it up and guess who is number one china china has the most trollers they are scooping it up the angolan government is not doing much about it and you can figure out the reason why because angular has a lot of resources among them probably oil they sell the oil to china and they get loans from china and so it's like well we can't really yell at them for stealing our fish because then the loans they give us and the oil they buy from us we will have problems with that all of this has an impact on the african communities which is actually where we want to focus because fishing communities are suffering and you are talking to the son of a fisherman i'll get to ghana in a second but angola you can see the evidence there's a town in angola called tumwa it is dying absolutely dying because the fishermen and the families can catch fish so their livelihood is gone before i get to ghana i'm gonna go northeast to africa uh and the horn of africa somalia somalia has the longest coast of any con country on the african continent it is uh 3 400 kilometers somalia has gone through a lot of trauma especially since 1991 when ciard barry was overthrown and left for exile in nigeria and war laws took over the place the u.s has played a big and to my mind bad role in somalia the country is now has a weak central government where it looks like the only thing it controls is the capital mogadishu and the impact is in the sea now i want everybody to think back to the first year that president obama was in power uh 2009 in april of that year the first military order he gave for people to go into action was to kill two somali pirates they had taken uh um hostage an american called captain phillips why did they do that because for 70 years these uh foreign trolleys have been going to somali waters and absolutely devastating the fish stealing the fish that somali fishermen catch um it's as if they were coming i mean um alain spoke about the minerals if these countries people were coming at least on land they have the courtesy of going to see the government and talk to them and sign fictitious papers on the sea nobody sees them they just come and take the fish and the fishermen can't get anything and they can feed their families so somalis of course got angry about it some of them said okay we're going to attack these trawlers we are going to attack fish other ships and because of that the west branded them as pirates of course if you go to the movies you see these funny movies about pirates from long ago and we love that but in the 20th century nobody loves our uh pirates and so they were killed they were demonized and a lot of uh arms and ships came from all over neville she used to say we're going to kill the pirates they did but what they didn't do what they haven't addressed is that they are still stealing somalia's fish so somali coast coastal communities are suffering they can't feed their families there is contention among them to see who catches the little bit of fish and so you have angola and you have somalia and then let me touch a little bit on ghana a place i know a little bit about the same thing is happening in ghana um even beyond the uh trollers are coming into the 200 kilometer um sea lane that should be ghana's exclusive uh um territory they are catching the fish there are two wrinkles that they are putting on the uh stealing of fish in ghana one is that a lot of the trollers have actually been registered as being owned by ghanians but you scratch the surface no the uh those dhanians are not owning them they are front men for the chinese um and they are catching a lot of fish and taking it away to sell in europe or back to china so the fishing uh industry in ghana has been devastated fishermen can't get fish they go farther and farther the artisanal fishermen can get the fish the other part of it is that research has shown that of all the african countries guardians for for protein in their diet the news depend on fish more than anybody else some of the protein comes from of course plants and from animals but for ghanaians about 60 of the animal protein comes from 60 comes from fish and they are catching less fish so it's causing nutritional problems it has devastated families i talked to my family my extended family and people can send their children to school because of this and what the chinese trollers also do in ghana is something called psycho fishing because the international law says okay it's not that um big countries can send trollers to fish they have to fish in the right waters and they have to catch the right fish they can cut things like tuna they can catch fish things like swordfish but smaller fish like sardines and others look only locals are allowed to catch them well in the ghanaian waters the chinese trollers and also some from thailand and there are a few some also from the european union they are catching these fish which they are not supposed to catch freezing them and then saying to the ghanaian local artisans are fishermen well we will sell that to you they have been selling to them so you buy frozen from the chinese trollers and then you take it to land and sell and of course it's not enough for them to maintain a living but this is what they are doing and it is against the law it is devastating the fish the fish can't reproduce of course the ghanaian government has to do something about this like the angolan government they are not speaking up much and some people have said well yeah look at their relationship with the chinese government they have had a big box site agreement and they have taken loans for that so once again it's like well we can't really say much about what they are doing in um in the in the seas because it might jeopardize our bigger relations with them two other quick points so ghanaian civil society have actually been pushing and one of the elements done was okay they are going to put inspectors on those big trolleys to make sure that they are catching the right fish and using the right equipment well of course you can see that the these are big trolleys that are breaking the law down one prying ice they have disappeared at least one inspector his family has not heard from him the case has been about 10 months now he has disappeared the the fish the troller and they say well we don't know what happened to him so one of the arguments now is um the african union and these coastal countries they should push for remote controlled comrades on these trollers so that they stop uh uh stealing the fish but and they can be seen what they are doing and they will no other family will have to go through what the ashan family in ghana has been going to and in reading all this research one other final point and and then i'll pause there that has struck me this and it's actually the title of my the this talking point which i'm working into an essay it is um um iuu fishing illegal uh unreal unregulated unreported fishing colon africa plundered and then blamed because when you look at the fao when you look at the european union when you look at china when you look at all these big countries that send their trollers into a lot of places and i should say like as i mentioned at the beginning it's not just africa but it's particularly bad in africa um agnes friend aldo said to me it's happening in argentina too it's happening in south america too but in africa when i'm reading the report these big countries say to africa including the european union they say well we blame the ghanaians well we blame the angolans where we blame the somalis if they didn't have corruption there will be no stealing of fish that is true but the question that some people are asking some young kids i was talking to they said wouldn't it be easier if these big countries will stop their trolleys to go thousands of miles from china into ghanaian waters somali waters and angolan waters to do it so they are sending their ships they are taking the fish and then they blame the africans and my final piece which is actually an apology ghana somalia angola they are not the only country suffering the most in fact one of the big countries suffering a lot that is also trying to fight back in senegal just my apologies that in trying to do my research i ran out of time on senegal but we will do this again i want to thank you eric and thank everyone and i'm ready for questions and discussions thank you uh thank you very much uh nee thank you um uh everyone and i think we're now moving into the next phase of this discussion which is actually opening up the field to all participants to to ask questions i started off by talking about the the african continental free trade area which will ultimately have africans looking inwards you know creating the markets the wealth and the jobs that they need so the afc fta which we i'll call the african single market is in our future it's in our future and we've got to work together now the question i have for all the panelists is from your perspective from fishing and i'm going to start with fishing so i'll inverse the the process from fishing what do we need to do to capture that market the processes and bring that back to the continent as we try to build this continental single market i'll have me speak and then i'll go to land i hope you're there faith to tell us give us some ideas on what we need to do we're becoming as concrete as we can and i'll go on to minerals and then i'm hoping that uh dr bassey is there uh nemo i'll come to you at the end of the process let me start with me what do we do in the um africa single market i think you're absolutely right it's a great achievement but it's on paper now we have to make it work and yes exactly what it's supposed to do is to make sure that africa's resources are properly controlled and traded so that the the funds are used for the benefit of africans now i again my my three preceding fellow speakers have been wonderful i feel like i mean over my head um i learned in particular i don't my french is not very good but i got the gist of it and he kept mentioning the african diaspora and i love that where he says diaspora i will say adna because i won't ask abner to look in the mirror and i'm tying the two together what can be done when i look at the fishing problem i think there is a lot that we can get the government that we now live under yes uh agna is in several places not just washington all over the us canada in africa but yes we are heavily concentrated in the united states we live under the government of the united states our job is to lobby the government of the united states to have proper policies towards africa and when you look at the iu fishing there is so much that we must work with the us government to do so my answer is the first point is for adnan to engage with the congress engage with the biden administration and any other administration and say okay you are now turning on illegal fishing by the way that the two three words are a mouthful so i substitute catastrophic fishing catastrophic fishing we can work with the united states to change its policy to make sure that uh big trollers in my research i didn't see u.s trollers being some of the um um culprits so to speak maybe there are some i haven't done enough of the research most of the corporate uh trollers are coming from countries like the european u i mean the european union is a collection of countries and china the u.s can use its power and its laws and its sanctions to make sure that these trolleys stop breaking the law and they can help the african union do that and they can help the african union in set this element of sort of protecting the fishing resources into the implementation of the africa single market thank you thank you very much uh me i will go on to the uh to land that's the second in line um faith any thoughts ideas for uh what we can do as a continent you know to topic to overcome the problems we have with land management yes i'd like to suggest like one or two um interventions we can do number one i think one of the biggest problems that we are facing is the transnational crimes the the the cross-border crime that are being perpetuated by multinationals and the multinationals that are government unto themselves they militarize their installations so that they have their own small army in a certain area then they can be able to influence political processes so if there is a way we can link struggles so that uh whatever is africa is going through is what south and africa is going through is what western africa is going through we shall come together and link struggles at all levels local level because at times you get that the language that we use in certain spaces at international and regional level cannot be used at local level while the local level um struggle is there is the at the wheels it is the the the for lack of a better word it's why it's the reason why uh certain processes can be very successful so we need to simplify the discussion so that the linking of struggles can be easier and then number two is for us to develop simple tools that can be owned by any person once understands the discourse to facilitate accountability um if i might borrow from the kenyan uh context um 70 percent of our lands are unregistered with such fluid uh tenure anything can be done to such land they do not have anybody to be accountable to as long as they can afford money to put electric fence around a piece of land they are good to go so there is need to develop i see material so tools that can be scorecards even for uh my grandmother in the village to know that this process has six steps and out of the six three have been skipped why are we skipping this these three steps so that if every other voice is asking accountability questions from the local national regional or international level i think that issue of land grabbing would would be tamed because um i i always hold the opinion that um the rule of law is a political process especially in some countries their law is not absolute and if right claimants cannot demand for their rights then um agents of impunity have their field day thank you so much okay that's wonderful uh let me see uh if alan are you there i yes it looks like a nice you know he's on the road and we may have lost him or um is okay dr massey if they well as we try to reconnect with them and i hope we do uh because uh alain has been in and just uh we just lost him again um i've got a few questions here for the two that we have professor kriti and um faith how i'll ask both of you the same question how can african civil society do you have any ideas on how we can pull african civil societies you know come pull them together bring them to a common purpose of you know trying to deal with these issues do you have any thoughts on that uh faith yes we can pull together i'd say the issue of scarce resources has promoted unhealthy competition even among us ourselves that's fragmenting the discussion so we need to find a way of resourcing uh the movement human resource and and funding in such a way that um we leverage on our strength so the coming together should be very clear i'd say structured networks are not ideal but i think if everybody can locate themselves in in in a struggle then it is easy to engage rather than having uh fluid ways of engaging and then the funding is is is thinning okay the african civil society we are almost all of us are struggling with the funding we need to be more innovative in how uh we sustain movements um we know like for instance in the land justice uh agenda that our enemy is rich um very connected the multinationals are deep pockets and they've been around for such a long time so there is an element that cannot just be handled by resources there is need for commitment and better organizing on the part of the african csos um me do we have don't tell me you've lost professor equity too oh no you haven't uh okay i may be muted let me uh mute myself right please you you are on muted now yes you're fine okay thank you yes um i can hear you fine i had faith fine i think her answer is great and very much along the same lines uh basically what i drilled from here i i extracted from her last answer is joining forces because you know i like to think that of all the challenges that africa faces particularly in the area of resources the core the core of our problem is these are not events out of nature okay it's not like the rainfall or or other things that are just happening these are the actions of actors people are taking our resources and the point is those who take our resources they have a network they are connected so we who are losing the resources one of the weaknesses we need to shore up is we to defend our resources we must network by which i mean um you know of course adna is a major civil society network in the united states focused on africa we need to strengthen our relationship with civil society underground in africa we need to do that and even on this issue of looking at um the plundering of our resources i don't mind telling you you know i'm a member of the accountability working group i'm also a member of the actually i chair the security working group and the stealing of our resources is actually a security issue because if our governments are too poor because the resources have been stolen they cannot have the money to produ to do the things that the government should do and that leads to conflict that leads to neglect that leads to populations of young men joining terrorist groups um you don't want to get me going on security issues in africa but the point is this is a security issue as well so if we focus on it if we link it up with security i mean um civil society in africa then we are working so that those taking our resources as faith said they have been working together for for decades even generations we the defenders need to strengthen our connections and the final bit is this when we were thinking of doing this it actually arose out of i'm sure many of the people in our audience and even on our organizing committee we have in mind iff illicit financial floats the united nations has uh documented this the european union has documented this and the africa union had former president tabon becky lead and study to study this and they all come up with that as we speak every year a hundred billion us dollars and that is billion with b us dollars leave our continent that's money that our governments and our uh our citizens and our private corporations don't have because they are being taken illegally they are being stolen from africa now and we thought we have shown a light on it twice in this very working group but we thought don't think that this 100 billion sitting in a bag in africa and somebody comes and snatches it up so this focus on how the continent is plundered it's actually for us to say this is how the illicit financial flows the 100 billion a year this is how it begins leaving the continent they are not snatching dollars out of africa they are snatching the diamonds the oil the gas and as dr abbasi focused not only are they still in the wealth but they live dangerous poisons behind one last point part of my research in moving off of uh to renewable energy people are talking about electric cars you need special batteries to make that you need special minerals they are once again converging in a lot of areas in africa including drc congo and they are using poisonous methods so that women in congo right now are having babies with birth defects because their waters are being polluted by the new forms of money but in any case the point is i agree one step is for adna and other ngos in the uh in the developed countries i said we should pressure our government we also need to strengthen our links with civil societies on the continent thanks very much we um we're having a lot of questions coming in and unfortunately the two of you would have to um uh fill in for the others uh if you can no pressure uh and we're moving towards the end of the program also so i won't put you under a lot of um stress now one question is what is being done to inform the african diaspora this is something i'm sure you can handle uh prof uh what is being done to inform the african diaspora um and this is a question from paula queen and um i'll ask prior to you just before you you step it i want to i want um uh faith to also be reflecting on the issue of um how other parts of the world have have addressed the land problem i'm sure you've had time to look into this um and what can africa do differently so first knee to you okay thank you very much um the question of how is the diaspora informing itself about these issues on the continent i think it's a great question i think actually there are some issues where i think the diaspora and as i like to call us because the diaspora itself you can see sections of it one section of it is um what i call african immigrants those of us born on the continent but now make our home here in the in the developed world the united states to be exact that segment of the diaspora one of the things that we do do is we keep very much in close contact with our people back home we send home a lot of money in fact it's been said that the money sent privately to families exceeds official development assistance and one way of pulling and i don't wanna i think our moderator is doing a great job but he and i have been friends for a long time so i hope i'm not sharing those secrets by saying that he you he once hung his heart at the world bank so he knows these issues and so we send uh those monies back and of course we talk to people all the time i talk to people in ghana maybe four or five times a week you know so we we use those private channels but my point so we are doing some of that however we need to shift gears it's not enough even on the money side i know that um immigrant groups from nigeria and particularly ethiopia they are getting together and pulling together their money i'm saying we also need to raise our game when it comes to the communication it shouldn't be just phone calls we would need to organize better and i was saying my first very first answer that where alex says diaspora i say adnan so i am throwing a challenge to my old group adna but i will give a shout out to adnan this um webinars that we have been doing and a lot of issues pan africanism um on covid on illicit financial flows and now on resource extraction it is a way of raising the game so how are we spreading the word this is one way this webinar is one we are spreading the word and let me tell you finally this is not a one-off you will be hearing from us again we will be doing more of this thank you [Music] eric your mic is off oh oh oh my goodness okay i come back to you i'll try to get to alana i hear he's back so yes so uh i'll respond to your question i've i've thought about it i'm thinking we are we are underdogs uh in this conversation um uh every other country that's organized as well around especially land justice issues and i've been trying to to think the model um country in africa that can say they've gotten their land um their land governance processes in order and they don't have issues um i'd say there are some that are just better than others but there is none that can say they have their land uh questions answered because um it was designed like that because we land that has cleared clear governance systems then the agents of impunity cannot plunder in the confusion they can do so much because the tenure is fluid across africa even in some countries there are some practices that even promote such uh plunder unashamedly so um what can be done we have laws even in kenya we have very beautiful pieces of legislation the enforcement is the problem and the enforcement is not a guarantee even with good laws that uh land justice can be actualized um we had hoped that we'd learn from the example of south africa with the trc and and you know appreciate the process of writing past wrongs but that process was not also as perfect as as we had hoped that it's going to give us a good precedent in kenya we had the tjrc and we had so many versions of that report and then it was put in on a shelf somewhere so i'd say um it's a conversation that we need to to think through i don't think the agents of impunity have let africans deal with their land questions and develop their own uh solutions because the plunder has to go on according to some voters alain came and left i don't if he does come back because i know the road is on and uh the network must be fairly tricky you know in that part of the country i think it's there alain is back yes fantastic i'm going to ask you uh to i'll try to frame a question that wraps up all of this how can we have african countries they tend to work in silos and we're unable and this question came from someone in the audience uh working in silos africans can it appears never address successfully the issues of whether it's minerals or phishing or any of the issues we are talking about so there's need for some continental approach to addressing these issues is that your thinking allah and do you think our leaders are in them in the mindset from for moving on in that direction voila no is [Music] me foreign can you quickly uh capture the essence of what alain has said uh he said a lot of things thanks eric um i will start with the end because it was saying at the end that we should stop complaining and we should start acting and taking i mean action moving into the direction of taking ownership of our own development in africa that people should instead of sending money to western union to africa for to help their families they should instead i mean he was suggesting that people should the diaspora can create companies can set up a a fund in africa in order to invest into our own development at the beginning he stated that the leaders in africa are no longer the same as the the past generation of leaders that we used to have they are much more younger and they are much more informed or aware of what is happening on the continent but they are also working in a vicious environment so we should not he was advising us not to put all of them in the same in the same box they are not all thieves inside and out he said we should we should try to deal with the best of them we should try to look at who among those leaders is close to this kind of action and work with these leaders the few of them who are ready to to work it was asking uh when and how from here from a webinar like this uh we are going to get uh and move forward and take small actions small things start with small things because he thinks that the diaspora is one of the biggest contributors to african countries right now so his position is just to to waste again awareness in the diaspora and ask the diaspora to to stand as one as united and create maybe a structure like a company or a fund in order to uh to get that ownership we are talking about the mining sector especially in our in our continent alain yeah uh i think you you i think you captured the essence okay lynn said i learned you give i found you um are you there and if you're there we have lots of questions but let me try to capture all of this in one how did the middle east the country's in the middle east and why can't africa do that what can africa do to as a from the continental perspective to tap into its oil and gas resources hello all right that seems like a simple question but i'm here are you hearing me yes yes it seems like yes it seems like a simple question but it's actually very complex yes um i i think one at one level trying to trying to wonder if we can replicate what the middle east have done with crude oil that africa could do the same thing uh is is a very it's a different i think it's a complex discussion that we could have some people have even said that the [Music] not used oil coal and gas to generate right now the world is according to what countries said they're going to do with regard to climate change the world is likely going to have a temperature increase on the average of 2.7 degrees celsius above pre-industrial level if that happens whenever they talk about development anywhere in the world the world is going to have more cataclysmic floors and stones cyclones and all our coasters whether it's unfortunate that what are we going to survive if we same pathway that caused the problem i think we have to look differently from from from this resource no matter what the result did for other regions um we need to actually look at the fact that we cannot under the current objective conditions pursue a pathway that is destructive um okay and neymar can you go in the direction of uh and if you can do this in a minute because we're literally close to the end can you go in the direction of tell us how we can it may not be oil and gas it could be solar energy but we have all of these things in abundance how can we as a continent and you have one or two ideas that could impose change in that direction help us move in the direction of continental action maybe uh right um i think if first thing for us to do [Music] is to we just have to simply have a totally altered mindset we are still being detected on a lot of things and coloniality is still very predominant on the continent so we need to agree that we can do things by ourselves and look at you said this yourself look at the resources that we have i believe this is a major shift that is needed we're still we're still following arguments that are obviously rigged against us and we are following technologies that are against enough food production imagine africa so where the center of nigeria's center of origin of being scalpie and now we are live modern agricultural genetically engineering to bring in species genetically genetically in the center of origin this is what mexico has been fighting with the u.s about males so there are things that we just simply need to do for ourselves considering our self-interest we have the brains we have the brilliance we have the knowledge let's pick on the things that we have that have not been adulterated and the world is going to come for that and we can make all the money we want and lead the world in how to live in conjunction in harmony with nature which is a pathway to the future thank you from your lips to god's ears and uh thank you uh nemo thank you alan for you know it's part of the difficulties if you're moving around you've been able to uh stay with us uh through the program so we eventually at the end my i have the difficult task i'll have either somebody say the last word but it is i have to thank all who contributed to this and then we'll come to the uh to the last word um first of all the panelists you've done an amazing job and we thank you our interpreter kathy thank you so much and all who attended and participated um on the extraction web uh seminar there was uh me of course who delivered but uh bonnie holcomb and aber wallendom mirai uh uh jaipur uh father batlami bazemo aldo caleri calillary and and uh effie pembon uh thank you i'm just you know uh uh reading out your names without any you know that explaining who exactly what exactly the rules you played but we want to express our gratitude to you all all the members of the accountability working group of adna of the advocacy network for africa uh the chair of course jacques bahati muiza mutali my friend brother uh imani countess pauline um machina and mary uera thank you all so much uh the chairmanship support that came from um that was provided by lydia andrews of the afkn and also uh lyons demena uh lambe lambert numbered my brother muybe again uh and albert yeah um well the the the the webinar host was uh of course uh uh jacques bhaitilia andrews who's been the word coordinator andrew thank you and father annie okure um there were some additional sponsors from sponsorships from uh torture abolition and survivor support coalition the tassc the african bridge building project and the american friends uh service committee i hope i've mentioned everybody who contributed in one way or the other to the success of this um event i will have and i believe it's only normal that i do there's two people say a goodbye word i know disciple goes for it i want me to say something and i want jack to say something uh jack you open this up so i guess me should say something and then we'll come to you to close it up your microphone or someone should unmute you yeah we can hear you okay well i'm actually stunned because um hello yes go ahead please okay thank you eric i want to thank everybody all the people that um um our moderator mentioned i am actually very surprised i didn't know this was gonna come to me i've been at the heart of organizing this uh with my colleagues and actually be very busy so i didn't have all these graphics and i thought i knew every piece of it that would go but i did not know i was going to be thrown into the deep end like this so i will just say thank you thank you thank you and a special thank you because of all the people mentioned one person has not been thanked and that is our fantastic moderator eric cheney i have known him since the 80s when we i was working at transafrica and he was already a seasoned journalist and i think you will agree with me that he has done a great job of course i thank all my colleagues at um adna and the accountability working group for all the great work they did and everybody i thank you very much if i start mentioning uh names i will forget some but i really appreciate this and this is not the last one thank you everyone and especially thank you eric yeah um thanks prof and uh we'll give the last word now to jacques uh since you opened the seminar and as you as you as you take the uh the floor jack of the microphone please remember there's a major challenge what can the diaspora do if you can in your final words i mean emphasize this and i think everybody else faith and the others if you can in your last words just hint on what you guys we all can do to to to advance the process over to yusha uh thank you so much um i would like to say that the africa we have now is not the africa we are dreaming to have meaning the africa we want but this seminar today is to begin or to continue the path forward to reach the africa that we want major questions have been raised allen foca and the rest of the panelists have presented the problems we have many people who can do this work we have shown that we can do it look at our hospitals here in america they are full of africans and they are rated among the best we need the conditions the best conditions for us to go back and provide the leadership that we need we have the challenge of security but also we have the issue of governance i will personally think that the ideas are there but we need people to rise up if someone feels like they have the guts to really stand up and be the shining light to lead us uh in areas of invest investing because we want to give our money to people who are trustworthy we have seen in many countries governments that start business government companies and then they are led by friends girlfriends and then they talk we have lost faith in those kinds of initiatives we need to begin and bring trust to the forefront so i want to really thank everyone in this and before i do that i just have to mention that we in cameroon there was a deal by an american company heracles farms paying five dollars for one hectare uh losing it for for 99 years uh renewable once that is the kind of issues we need also to push back against the effect of our resources is across the board their collaborators on the continent have to be dealt with so the fight is on many fronts but complaining will not do it that's why we thank you all for being engaged so the africa advocacy network thanks everyone for their engagement for their interest and i want to personally thank you for leading us into this exercise we have seen that it is possible to talk a little bit and act a little more and the results can be really shown the africa faith and justice network in its project acro in africa has done just that conferences for conference tech is no longer the approach we do this we speak a little bit with interesting people and they go and show the results so i believe and i hope that we can take this direction and get things done thank you so much bye thank you thank you and uh thank you uh i just want to remind everybody uh uh bonnie bonnie just wants me to remind all of you bonnie holcomb that uh the uh this program has been recorded and it will be available and uh they'll include a set of photos and resources that you can use so please watch out for that and i hope you can use it and i'm sure i'm definitely certain we will be together again before long thanks to the same team that put this together thank you very much

quHIiqnuADY | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quHIiqnuADY | Chapter 2 overview - US History- 135 | in this video we're going to be looking at chapter 2 early globalization the atlantic world 1492-1650 and we'll be looking first at the learning objectives and just a note to students there will be more videos from me in the discussion this week so be sure to check those out and respond to the discussion questions and go back to listen to the post by your classmates as well as by me so discussion is different for week two please pay attention to the instructions there for you i broke down the learning objectives by each section and first we'll look at 2.1 so chapter 2 first section and that's on portuguese exploration and the spanish conquest so at the end of this section you should be able to describe portuguese exploration of the atlantic and spanish exploration of the americas and the importance of these voyages to the developing atlantic world and explain the importance of spanish exploration of the americas and the expansion of spain's empire and the development of spanish renaissance culture and just a note it is at the bottom of the screen but just to remind you to use these learning objectives to help you focus on the main ideas of the chapter and you can use that to organize your notes and even get ready for the discussion in 2.2 the second section of chapter 2 on religious upheavals in the developing atlantic world you'll be able to one explain the changes brought by the protestant reformation and how it influenced the development of the atlantic world and two describe spain's response to the protestant reformation at the end of section 2.3 challenges to spain supremacy you'll be able to identify regions where the english french and dutch explored and established settlements describe the differences among the early colonies and explain the role of the american colonies in europe european nations struggles for domination and in section 2.4 new worlds in the americas labor commerce and the colombian exchange you'll be able to describe how europeans solved their labor problems describe the theory of mercantilism and the process of commodification these are words that maybe would be helpful to look up mercantilism and commodification i don't want to assume anybody knows what that is but we'll follow up on that later um analyze the effects of the colombian exchange so all of these topics come up in one way or another in the discussion and so we'll focus on that rather than direct lectures from me about each thing so i will be present in the discussion as well and i'll be looking for your responses as well as adding to other things that you're saying so be sure that you see all the posts in the discussion for week two i'm going to spend a little bit of time giving you an example of ways that you can look at art and other images in the textbook to begin doing an analysis yourself point one in chapter two example of what you could do to analyze an image i want to walk you through this so this is a woodcut made from the italian verse translation of the letter columbus sent to the spanish court and that means to king ferdinand ii and queen isabella um there is a brief analysis of the image of christopher columbus in the textbook and there it it actually emphasizes the spanish king ferdinand ii and the arawak people and those arawak people are indigenous or were indigenous to hispaniola in 1492 which is present-day haiti and dominican republic who is drawn in this picture so kind of a who and what so we have king ferdinand ii in the foreground sitting on the throne um and he's pointing towards the ships columbus and his crew um examine their how large and fully drawn there we go the people of the arawak people are there on the coast of hispaniola what i'd like you to pay attention to here is um and follow up in the discussion you could do this further in a research project if you wanted to take multiple pieces of art from the textbook and analyze them and go into more detail than what's provided here with some further research and look at close examination of who's represented and what that might mean and so you could start with what what impression this makes on you who is in this picture and why they're drawn to the scale that they are so who is important in this picture you might gather some impressions from your own examination of it who do you think is important in this picture and then what does it represent like the symbolization of the um time and the events that this represents and what's the significance of those events why would this be put together into a woodcut in other words why would an artist spend this much time creating this kind of woodcut and what does it represent those would just be the beginnings of an analysis if you want to address those questions and those could be a model for other ways that you could analyze other images from the textbook further into the powerpoint that is shared in the module you have this timeline starting with 1492 with columbus landing in hispaniola and going all the way to 1624 and um in another video i will talk about this el mina castle on the west coast of ghana and this will be a part of another another video about that as well as this one so i'm just jumping over to slide 16 in my powerpoint that are in the textbook that say click and explore so i think if i do this you can see so it'll say click and explore and then these are links and if i click on them here it won't actually take me there so i'm going to go to a different screen so i want you to look at these and check them out because these can be sources that you can include among the primary sources that you'll need for your research project um so the first one is going to have to do with the protestant reformation and so that connects back to the pictures of martin luther queen elizabeth and so on and then in section 2.3 you have a collection of stores maps of the middle atlantic region to 1850 and that's a collection that the new york public library holds and so if in the textbook when you click on those links it will take you to those sources the medieval source book that's located at fordham university also in new york and if you click on the red text that will take you to the source so this has to do with precursors of the reformation and then you can look at the different parts of the protestant reformation connected to martin luther john calvin and so on and they're organized based on all of those things in the outline and and people click on one part for example one by petrarch so these are petrog states so we click on letter criticizing the avignon papacy and what you get is a primary source that has been transcribed and this is so this is a typed version of the letter from the original source um and so this is actually a letter that petrarch wrote and that's on the click and explorer items that are in the textbook and so i'm going to cutting off um the screen so uh it has to do with how i set up quicktime so you don't really have to see all of these in the video i'm just trying to point out that there are more slides so you have this um eminent of the portrait of elizabeth the first of england and then there will be further ones um as you go from um from there on to the end of the chapter and point those out that you want to pay attention to those as they come along um in the chapter so we are going to get all the way to looking into some renaissance depictions of the time that have to do with all of this globalization and migration during this period so that pretty much will conclude to ending with the colombian exchange and some effects some of the effects i don't think we can get into all of them um during this class but um again i welcome you to explore that further in a research project if that's something that you would like to explore further so that is the end of the presentation the overview for chapter two | Delene White | UCINy8h1K-n5RTqwSXdER0WQ | 2022-01-15 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 1,472 | 7,886 |

CwSQwWUHybU | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwSQwWUHybU | Dennis Kucinich Talks About Protecting Public Utilities | well dennis kucinich i want to welcome you to wmnf thanks so much for joining us thank you so much john good to be with you thank you and before we get to your book let's just have people remind you because you haven't been in politics for a little while now remind people might remember your presidential run they might remember your your time in congress and that you were one of america's youngest mayors so give us a little bit of background about just your political history well sure i mean the division of light and power opens up when i'm just elected to cleveland city council at age 23. i went on to become the clerk of the cleveland municipal court and during that period is when i started the campaign in earnest to save our municipal electric system that that uh created the opening where i could become mayor of cleveland america's youngest big city mayor at age 31. i was out of politics for a while people read the book will understand uh that story and then when i was in 1994 i had a major political comeback was elected to the state senate 96 was elected to the first of eight terms served 16 years in the united states congress and of course during that period in 2004 and 2008 i had two presidential candidacies which brought me to the tampa area uh many times so it's great to be with you sean to talk about uh the division of light and power it's relevancy today and what people can do if something's going on in their community that they don't either don't understand or when they do understand it they don't like how they can fight back and i want to remind people that we are speaking with former member of congress dennis kucinich his new book is called the division of light and power and it's about about the struggles you had and they were having they were happening in cleveland when the your public uh publicly owned municipal utility was trying to be bought out and so lay that all out for us a lot of places do have municipal utilities some places have private utilities what's the difference and what made uh what was happening in cleveland relevant to the rest of us well first of all if you have a public utility it's axiomatic going to be cheaper in cleveland our municipal electric utility muni light provided electricity to about a third of the city at a 20 percent savings and of course you know being able to pay eighty dollars a month instead of a hundred dollars a month for electricity gives a family another twenty dollars a month to be able to spend for things that people need and you know for the necessities of life instead of giving the money to a private monopoly so the monopoly utility that competed door-to-door in a third of the city with the private the public power company they had a plan it was secret for a while to take over the city's utility so they had a complete control monopoly in the cleveland area cleveland's had public power since the turn of the century the private utility tried to they even tried to thwart the beginning of public power at the same time it was created but then as the story moves i get elected to city council the lights are going out at inopportune times all the lights are out in downtown cleveland at christmas time we have this blackout and there's a series of blackouts that occur and so the story develops into this into this web of corporate deceit corporate espionage corporate sabotage the private power company actually creating blackouts on the public system sending their sales people into muni light neighborhoods saying hey looks like your utility isn't working i'd like to sign up with us and the media complicit ignoring the treachery of this private company actually supporting it taking information that comes from the pr offices of the utility monopoly and publishing it often verbatim in the newspaper or in editorials or on radio or tv stations this is the a conspiracy that happened against the interests of the people of cleveland so i get elected to council young councilman i take the reader with me on this on this journey into into this morass of corruption and show the reader how as a young person i was able to stand up to that and fight back to equip our citizens today with the way in which you can be effective in challenging policies which you know are wrong before we get too much further into that battle against what you call a shadow city government that which engaged in corporate espionage sabotage and price fixing um before we get into that you mentioned something at the beginning that you you said was something that we should take for granted but i'll challenge you on that why why are corporate i'm sorry why are municipal utilities inherently less expensive to the user than corporate because they don't have to pay high corporate salaries they don't have to pay dividends to shareholders the dividends are received by the taxpayers in terms of lower taxes the dividends are received by the ratepayers in terms of lower rates for electricity or water or sewer and so you have to realize that when you're talking about public utilities this is essential for life today the mayor who founded muni light tom johnson at the turn of the 20th century said this he said i believe in public ownership of all public service facilities of waterworks of parks of electric systems because if you do not own them they will in time own you they'll rule your politics corrupt your institutions and finally destroy your liberties and so the story of the division of light and power is a story of how a utility monopoly ruled the politics of cleveland corrupted the institutions of cleveland and were on the threshold of destroying our liberties by actually stealing through extortionate conduct of a bank and through bribery stealing a municipal electric system so they didn't destroy our liberties but you know in order to stop that i i i had to put everything on the line including my career and my life and we'll talk about those things in a moment i just want to remind people that we're speaking with dennis kucinich he's a former member of congress a two-time former presidential candidate in the democratic primaries his new book is called the division of light and power it's about the municipal utilities in cleveland and how the private companies were trying to take it over you also just now you mentioned something about a bank one of america's largest banks threatened to upend the cities financially unless when you were mayor you agreed to sell the city's publicly owned electric system so what was the bank's role and how did you stop it well the bank on the uh cleveland trust bank led by brock weir who was their uh ceo came to me on the morning of december 15 1978 and said this look either you sell your municipal electric system to the cleveland electric illuminating company or we the bank will not renew the city's loans that i hadn't even taken out they were taken up by my predecessor that meant the city would be thrown into a financial default um that's this is the choice i was given so it turns out that the bank was a business partner of the utility that people sitting on the same boards they had uh the the utility uh use the bank it's where they put their money uh they invested their pension funds in the bank the bank was owned a uh large uh share of stock in the utility company so the bank was dealing for itself too when it tried to extort our municipal electric system from me as the mayor all they needed was my signature and then on top of that they offered a bribe of 50 million dollars worth of new credit all i had to do was sign my name and everything would be fine again and the media played a role because the media was forcing the agenda on behalf of the utility because they got advertising dollars from uh the utility and they were all in for getting rid of muni light i tell the story and it'll blow your mind if you haven't read the book yet to see how the media subverted the public interest and how reporters who tried to do the right thing lost their jobs and i spell all this out and there's never been a story told like this about american politics because no one was ever on the inside who said wait a minute i'm not doing this and blew the whistle on it all so yeah the division of light and power is an unprecedented story of a fight to save a democracy in our community other people's right to have a public facilities that they own to actually be able to make decisions and not have those decisions dictated from faceless uh centers of power that want to take municipal assets and convert them into their own use you're listening to wmnf tampa st petersburg i'm sean cannon and my guest is dennis kucinich he's a former member of congress he's a two-time candidate for the president of the united states and his new book is called the division of light and power it's about how as mayor of cleveland as a young mayor of cleveland he was part of saving the municipal utilities there in cleveland and in your book you talk about uh something you just mentioned this almost bribe-like thing that happened in cleveland where a tv reporter um interviewed a shadowy convicted hitman for the mob and that person said the so the reporter said why do you think these people would want to do the mayor inn and they're referring to you mayor kucinich and the hitman said we can't buy kucinich that's what i was told we can't buy kucinich she was cut from a different cloth the hitman goes on but what was all that about why is why was a hitman involved here and why did they think that you weren't somebody who they could buy when i was the clerk of course prior to becoming mayor i organized a when i realized the corruption that was going on and trying to take over our municipal electrics as my organized civic campaign to block the sale at that moment a high-powered rifle shot missed my head by a fraction of an inch and when i was elected the police intelligence in the city of cleveland learned from the maryland state police this is all in a book and it's all documented that there was an assassination plot afoot i asked the head of police intelligence why what's going on here and he told me he said look i'm not involved in politics but i have to tell you this all about muni light you're stopping some people from making a lot of money later on after i left office and keep in mind sean i never spoke about this danger when i was in office i knew about it certainly i took precautions but i never talked about it but years later the united states senate uh subcommittee uh special investigative committee on organized crime in the midwest unearthed the story of an organized crime assassination plot and when it was supposed to be executed and why and so you have to keep in mind that cleveland in the mid 70s was the bombing capital of america there was a war going on between rival mob factions for control of the rackets for control of drugs gambling vice prostitution loan sharking and i arrived at city hall in the middle of this maelstrom and there were certain things that were expected of a mayor to look the other way on enforcing the law for example i didn't go along with any of that you know i wasn't going to let the corporations run the city and i'm sure they're going to let the mob run the city so that confluence that that that mixing of these volatile forces uh produced a very dangerous situation when i resisted this these efforts coming from every direction to try to force me to sell our municipal electric system which by the way was worth at least a quarter of a billion dollars that's without even getting into the extra cost of taxpayers and rate payers if it hadn't sold it was worth a quarter of a billion dollars you know what john the city was prepared to sell it for 88.1 million dollars uh you know about a third of what it was really worth i mean so when you think of the money that was out there that was involved you add it all up i was stopping some interest from making a half a billion to a billion dollars and all i had to do was sign my name and you know okay the deal's done and you can go on being mayor dennis and we'll give the city credit and we'll all live happily ever after and people will never know the difference well guess what i wrote the book and now people know the difference and they can look at it and say whoa what's going on in my own town so it's a very important uh uh textbook although it's uh it's written in a novelist way it's a it shows people the forces that exist under the surface and they're you know if there's something going on in your community it'll be a a useful guide to be able to fight back so this is the division of light and power is not just a book that's only about the history of what happened in the 70s in cleveland it's also kind of an instruction of how people can pay attention to what's happening in their own community whether they have a municipal utility they're trying to hold on to or maybe as in the case of tampa tampa has a utility that's owned privately but that comes up for renewal every whatever it is decade or 15 years and there have been people in the past who have said wait a second why should we just automatically renew with this private utility why don't we consider something municipal which as you have pointed out earlier in the interview would save people money i'll let you answer that question in just a second i just want to remind people we are talking with dennis kucinich a former member of congress former mayor of cleveland about his new book the division of light and power on wmnf tampa st petersburg i'm sean conan and i apologize for interrupting your answer no sean look at you you need to identify the station um yeah i mean people in tampa it might be a good time to start thinking about what's the point of a municipally owned utility cheaper rates and lower taxes this is uncomplicated what about the idea of having kind of a self-control of having local control of the utility because in florida the governor recently signed a bill into law this week that said local municipalities can't tell um power companies what kind of energy they can use well that doesn't apply to municipal utilities so that's that might be another added incentive for people to explore owning as a collective owning their own power companies home rule is an essential part of democratic governance and every every city has or should have the ability to be able to make decisions regarding self-governance uh what's happened in so many places is that state government is usurping local communities and gaining more power well people at the local level have less that will be of consequence politically when people wake up and realize uh that they're you know that for example tampa is being run from tallahassee hello or that cleveland's being run from columbus so you start to think about this is why this book the division of light and power it raises questions how can you form a utility we get into that how does it save money we get into that how does it keep taxes low we get into that and what are the forces that work to try to suppress it oh do we get into that so you know this book everything sean is thoroughly documented you know a good part of the the book was spent in uh in going uh deep into court records into uh documents that uh that were issued in the course of discovery and lawsuits it's all backed up and it is it's it's an important read for people who want to know how does government really work and what's going on behind the scenes and and keep in mind you know this experience in cleveland is what equipped me to go to congress and learn and see immediately be able to recognize that we were being lied to to take us in the war against iraq i had the training in cleveland i i learned to look at something and say well wait a minute that's you're telling us is what's happening but something else is going on and we i want to before we go i do want to talk a little bit more about congress your your time in congress and your time as a presidential candidate but before we do that is there anything that people should know about the division of light and power that we haven't talked about yet oh look there the the book uh has been compared to chinatown the movie uh one uh one critic said it's a cross between the godfather and mr smith goes to washington uh i am humbled when it's compared to the work of the great uh robert carro um who's whose work i've always admired this book has something for everyone it's what's interesting is every you know any interview that i that i've done on the book each interviewer finds something different and and the book is is written on so many different levels that the average citizen can use it and so can someone who's aspiring to public office and so can office holders i i hope that the book will continue to be a public service our guest is dennis kucinich he is the author of the new book the division of light and power it's about his time as a cleveland mayor and cleveland city council member but he also has been in congress you're listening to wmnf tampa this is sean canaan and you're listening to wmnf we are going to switch gears now just briefly to talk about when you were in congress you mentioned the run up to the iraq war you were one of the leading voices to say that hey wait a second it maybe the bush administration is not telling us the full truth here apparently the bush administration fooled some people like um like joe biden and uh john kerry and some notable political people of the last couple of decades but you weren't fooled you knew the truth you know you you saw through the lies of the bush administration i can safely say 15 years later or 20 years later that these were lies that they were falsely leading us they falsely led us into an unjust war that killed maybe a million people i can safely say that with history on my side now and but you were out in front saying that you also were advocating for a department of peace so tell us a little bit about what the department of peace would have been and why you believed that unlike people like john kerry and joe biden and hillary clinton that the bush administration was lying well again you know if you read the division of light and power you'll understand how i was able to see through the lies because i did my homework i studied i i insisted on getting answers to questions and i kept questioning i'm not that much different anybody else i mean anybody could have done that anybody could have taken the time in cleveland to ask the questions that i did but they didn't when you read the book you'll see that i developed this capacity for being able to you know see through those lies so when i got to congress i knew instantly they were lying matter of fact sean any one of your listeners could right now go to a search engine type in kucinich iraq analysis october 2nd 2002 and you'll see an analysis that i passed out on the floor of congress put it in the hands of members of congress so that people couldn't say later we didn't know they knew and i i was able to prove chapter and verse that there was no there was no proof iraq had anything to do with 911 or al-qaeda's role in 911 iraq didn't have the intention or capability of attacking the united states and this whole case for war was being trumped up and i made that point back in october of 2002. now the department of peace this proposal came forward on july the 11th 2001. two months before 9 11. and it's aimed at moving our society away from a cultural war to a culture of peace where we work to make non-violence an organizing principle in our society and that is to challenge the assumption that what we're just violent and that's the way it's going to be that violence is american is apple pie no it's not violence is a learned response and so is not violence and so the department of peace had an international component where it it looked at being able to resolve conflicts before they get out of control and it has a domestic component as well and so i'm now advocating a civic peace department in the city of cleveland so we can look at the root causes of violence violence is is percolating in all of our major cities now but we're not getting underneath why is this happening and i'm i'm determined to take an approach that is both analytical and felicitous that we we have to believe that as human beings we have the capacity to evolve that we can become more than we are and better than we are in a qualitative sense and so the department of peace what became a national movement that still exists today so we could stand for peace so we can stand for war and the united states unfortunately uh throughout most of our lives has stood for war and those wars for the most part have been uh based on lies as uh and so i can say that because i proved it just like i proved the case of what was going on in cleveland and the attempt to usurp the public interest using um a a vicious exploitation of the community and and a raw exercise of corporate power and financial power to damage uh the people and the institution of the city our guest is dennis kucinich he's the author of the division of light and power he's a former member of congress former presidential candidate i'm sean conan this is wmnf tampa st petersburg sarasota 88.5 fm and representative kucinich if i could i don't know if you're prepared to answer this but our what can you tell us about some of the the uh work that your wife elizabeth kucinich has been doing sean you know what uh she is an amazing woman uh uh a woman whose opinions on agroecology are sought globally she's lectured all around the world on how we can restore the land and and enrich it with with uh higher levels of carbon drawing it down through sequestration how we can save water uh you know through various uh uh technologies amazing woman yoshi i i'll tell her that we talked and she's worth uh an interview uh every every bit of the time or more so than i am well absolutely i'd be happy to interview elizabeth kucinich someday soon well i those were my questions if there's anything else that you'd like to add before we go uh what would you like to say well sean if you have a website that you can direct people to the division of light and power i'd be very appreciative uh this is an opportunity for people not just to share in some hard part experience but also to equip oneself to know more about how the system works and to find out how you can fight back thank you so much well i want to thank you very much for coming back on wmnf dennis kucinich thank you | wmnfnews | UCqvMYeJ-iGoICYxFuXDy33A | 2021-06-29 |

68YGftKWtuc | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68YGftKWtuc | 5 More Messed Up Moments in the Bible | despite mostly containing positive messages about things like hope and love there's still some seriously messed up [ __ ] written in the Bible I already went over 10 similar moments in another video but in this video I'll go over five even more messed up and disturbing moments from the Bible in my opinion the content of this video is way worse than anything I covered on this channel so I'd have to give a Content warning before I start there will be sensitive topics like rape incest and murder covered in this video so click away if these things make you skirmish one lot's daughters there are some pretty great fathers in the Bible but it's safe to say Abraham's nephew lot was not one of them after God got sick of Sodom and Gomorrah being the most obscenely depraved cities on Earth he sent two angels to Sodom so they could see if there was anything else worth saving in that City there was lot who was hospitable and respectful to the angels but there was also literally every other man in Sodom who are definitely not respectful and try to be hospitable in um inhospitable and UNC consensual ways these men saw what I can only imagine to be two very handsome Angels walking to lot homeb and then they proceeded to surround His House asking lot to bring those angels out so they could participate in very UNC consensual intercourse with them lot being a very respectful man was appalled by this so quickly he thought of a solution his brilliant idea was to offer his two daughters to the men instead so he could do whatever they wanted with them rather than bother the the Angels now I've seen my first year of horrible dads but this guy is easily worse than at least a couple of them there's more too as this exemplary parenting definitely robbed up on his daughters as these girls they grew up just a a tiny bit weird too a little while after lot and his daughters had escaped the destruction of Sodom they were H up in a cave somehow the only thing in both his daughter's mind at that point was how much they needed to have children and through the most questionable logic ever they both felt it'll be okay to get their father drunk enough so he could make them pregnant from lot himself offering up his daughters like that to them taking advantage of him to do the Alabama thing this is easily one strange and messed up family two Ken anable moving on to more interesting sibling action here we have the classic case of sibling rivalry the first one even right after getting kicked out of the Garden of Eden Adam and Eve gave birth to two sons K and able so at least a decent portion of the earth were all family and you know family loves each other especially the first Tye of family so surely nothing bad happens right yeah know something completely horrible did happen you see Kain was a farmer and his brother Abel was a shepherd and they both did this thing where they prepared offerings for God from the fruit they made from their work this man Kain offered fruits while Abel made meat from his livestock unfortunately God only liked Abel's offerings and this made Cain very very upset and jealous the only way Cain knew how to deal with this feelings however was to kill Abel in the world where no murder had ever occurred before somehow K thought of it and then he murdered his own blood his brother and then he spenc Adam and Eve out to experience the pain of death for the first time ever but this was through losing their own child by the hands of another one of their children three the first Sons okay so way back back then when Israelites were still all in Egypt they were made to do hard labor for Egyptians and basically treated like slaves after this God decided to step in and to do this he got Moses to help free the Israelites from Egypt so Moses confronts the Pharaoh and ask him nicely to let the Israelites go but of course if you've ever had anybody do anything for you for free you know there was no way in hell he was just going to let them go so the pharoh said no and Double Down by increasing the amount of work the Israelites had to do the Pharaoh clearly did not want to listen to any reason so God changed and did things the hard way through Moses god cursed Egypt to face 10 plagues which included stuff like life epidemics heal and famine but the worst of all was the 10th and final plague the death of all the firstborns this plague is exactly what it sounds like in just one night the firstborns in all of Egypt died male or female human or animal rich poor old young it didn't matter if there was an Egyptian first born they died that night it's one thing for Pharaoh even high ranking Egyptian officials to face this punishment at least they had some sort of seal in keeping the Israelites as slaves and even benefited from it but it wasn't just them even lower class Egyptians and slaves got the same treatment despite not getting much benefit from the Israelite slaves they all lost important family members too whether it was a parent sibling or even a child four Tamar David was a great king but unfortunately even he wasn't immune to family drama you know that little crush you had on your cousin when you were a kid you know the one that you just so embarrassed to even think about today well David's oldest son amnon had one of those but instead of crushing on his cousin it was his house sister Tamar and to make this even weirder this wasn't as a kid no he was a whole grown ass man when he liked this sister and um I have to give another content warning here right now cuz this story gets really dark you see amnon was so obsessed over his sister that even his advisor junab noticed so of course as an advisor he had to help amnon deal with this problem and in Jon Adam's Infinite Wisdom dealing with this problem meant getting amnam Malone with Tamar so to do this the pretended amnon was sick and told King David that he wanted Tamar to come tend to him so he'd feel better David of course being clueless got himer to come in and make some bread for amnon but immediately amlon asked the servants to leave the room and then he grabbed Tamar and then he GED her right there after he was done he felt disgusted and kicked Tamer out of his room incest rape and whatever you want to draw from this this is easily one of the three worst moments in the Bible to be honest I'm known is a total prick and thankfully he got what he deserved later on F four skins this last one is more disturbing than messed up but at least you might find it funny too that is if you have my sense of humor at least so right after slaying Goliad David became a mega celebrity in Israel he had spent a little while winning battles and everyone in Israel just loved him for it everyone except Saul that is you see Saul was the king so he felt very insecure at getting upstairs by David all the time to fix this Saul gave David tougher and tougher missions in hope that he fail later and will get less praise because of it unfortunately David was inevitable and still succeeded so Saul thought of a super plan he offered one of his daughters to David but David would have to get the four skins of 100 Philistine men for Sal to approve of their marriage David being David killed some Philistines again but this time he not only got the 100 forkins no he got 200 it's weird when you think about it how much effort he put into mutilating corpses right after killing a bunch of people but he still did it and salul still remained mad so that was five more messed up moments in the Bible if you haven't already you should check out my previous video on the 10 messed up moments from the Bible it also has some disturbing stuff in there if that's what you're into like the video if you liked it and I'll see you next time | Church of Scale | UCaKUBsFplHDNp7PU15O6mdQ | 2024-04-08 | Creative Commons Attribution

Hfl6aGWNO5Q | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hfl6aGWNO5Q | Meridian 59 - The Oldest 3D Online RPG | [Applause] MMORPG the very words conjure up ideas sprawling fantasy worlds where players interact with their environments in a living breathing virtual metropolis these days understanding the concept of virtual worlds comes second nature to us however there was a time when the idea of operating a role-playing game over the Internet had not even been conceived of yet our notions of what an MMORPG are today seemed quite solid yet these games all share foundations which were established by the original denizens of Internet role-playing games these early pioneers of the Internet age crafted a legacy which still resonates with popular culture to this day as with any history the history of video games is a long and complex one today we're going to take a look at one of these faucets of gaming lore as we uncover the mysterious origin on one of gaming's longest-running 3d online RPGs this my friends is the story of Meridian 59 [Music] considered by many to be the world's first graphical MMORPG or at least that's how we would describe it today but back when it was released Meridian was mostly referred to as a graphical multi-user dungeon or mud for short Meridian brought players into its admittedly large and open landscapes giving them the freedom to explore the realm in a pseudo 3d environment players could interact with other users and customize their own characters in a fantasy world sort of like a virtual Dungeons & Dragons Meridian shattered the preconceived notion of what an online role-playing game could be now although it would be easy to sit here and say how revolutionary Meridian was at the time I'd rather show you what made Meridian 59 such a special case so before we dive into the history of meridian let's go back before the game received this first line of code all the way back to 1975 [Music] modern MMORPGs all share one common ancestor however most modern RPGs are built on a model of greed they could never deliver the same experience as a game like Meridian 59 they're just missing a certain charm a very special flavor that most MMORPG players actually seek out it's the thrill of mystery combined with that intrigue of fantasy and in the mid 70s there was nothing more intriguing than computers and the emerging idea of computer networks at this time two men named William Crowder and Don woods thought the same as they use their knowledge to create what it's considered to be the world's first piece of interactive fiction Colossal Cave adventure not much by today's standards you have a display field which lets you read the game text and an input field which allows you to interact with the game by typing in various commands like go north or open door nowadays we use controllers and other human interface devices to move our characters around the world but on a mod it's all text there's no pictures no sound just you and some text it's like an interactive book where you control the character though extremely minimalist it worked to show what was possible using simply game text and allowing players to craft the world themselves in their own minds over the next year's muds would receive a significant improvement as computer hardware began to get stronger and the emerging idea of commercial and residential computer networks became a household thing a few years after Colossal Cave adventure mud commonly referred to as mud one was created by Roy truck Shaw and Richard Bartle inspired by its predecessor it aimed to create a game where multiple users could play from a University Network the game was nothing special just a typical text-based fantasy game with a heavy focus on magic however well after its release and at the beginning of the 80s the university computer networks which hosted the games were connected to ARPANET giving the game access to a much larger audience officially making it the first multiplayer text adventure game in the following years muds and networking technologies would continue to improve and began to pave the way for commercial industries to form and profit off of this new medium the first true commercially viable MMORPG was a game called scepter of God released in 1983 by a small company called gambit in Minneapolis Minnesota it supported a whopping 16 players online at a single time all of whom were paying customers to the games service at that time scepter of goths business model was to essentially license out the game to individual hosters who would also host their own 16 player servers other players would then dial into that server and pay a fee which was usually between two and four dollars u.s. an hour that's almost $10 an hour in today's American currency just to play a text game with around 16 players in it the business model surprisingly worked out and eventually gambits assets including sceptre of goth were sold to a company called interplay interplay would do a lot for scepter of goth but the company eventually folded when the president Denny Flanders was charged and then eventually convicted of tax evasion although unrelated to the company his actions had reduced investor interest and many investors withdrew their funds following this incident bankrupt and swimming in controversy interplay put an end to scepter Gough following the bankruptcy of inter flee many pioneers of the Madeira took their chance to make their mark on this versioning industry there were profits to be had and those with the know-how and Moxie to get it done were able to carve themselves a place in the annals of video game history two brothers Chris and Andrew MC decided to use their last summer before entering the workforce to make a mud style game on the heels of scepter of goth the currency brothers knew all too well what they were getting into having been avid players of sceptre of goth of the brothers courtesy drew their inspiration from this game in order to slowly begin crafting something more different than anyone at the time could have expected the first iterations of the project were bland simplistic and honestly not all that inspired Packman were the main enemy and the concept of pseudo 3d graphics had not been applied to the project yet but slowly over time the rough idea they had begun with was slowly beginning to take shape in the fall of 1994 Andrew currency was spending a majority of his time learning about graphics engines he was interested in a special type of Ray casting engine that was the then-popular game Wolfenstein 3d the prospect of moving around and interacting with other players in a 3d environment sparked new ideas amongst the two brothers Andrew began writing an engine similar to the one used in Wolfenstein 3d that he quickly applied to the game project however he states the results were less than stellar the game ran at an abysmal frame rate and the hand-drawn assets were in the brothers own words horrible but he said there was a really special moment when their two characters met for the first time in 3d there was a real sense of excitement when another person would walk up to you in the virtual space the birthers knew instantly at that time that there was potential here for something great in the early part of 1995 Andrews spent a majority of his time playing they then released doom 2 with one of his Cambridge apartment roommates Keith Randall the pair took turns playing doom 2 until they made their way through the entire game in software's breakout game got the to thinking about the doom graphics engine and how they could maybe apply it to their project in order to add the 3d elements they had been searching for for so long and after scouring used that for posts they were able to compile enough information about dooms BSP tree engine that they were able to code and recreate a large portion of it within their own codebase so before his graduation and well into the development of Meridian 59 which at the time was called Boxton Andrew found a posting on Usenet by a man named Mike sellers he was looking for some people to help him write a graphical role-playing game Andrew contacted Mike and told him about the project they had been working on Mike was extremely interested and agreed to meet up with the currency brothers over the summer and discuss the game in more detail the currency brothers also moved back into their parents basement and began looking for stable jobs over the summer months however this was the summer where the worldwide web was really beginning to take off continental united states residential homes were being hooked up to the Internet and the then-new release of Windows 95 made game development on Windows Hardware extremely simplistic compared to what it had been before the time to strike the iron was now meridian had a stellar and unique experience that was Lisa head of the industry at the time and unmatched by any other game in existence by the end of 1995 Blackston had been renamed to other worlds and over the Thanksgiving break that year Chris and Andrew began implementing an auto patching system that would fetch files from the game server and update local files on the user's computer this seems like a no-brainer today but back in the day there was really no precedents for online games so including an auto updater would ensure that the game could scale over the coming years nearing the end of the velopment towards the final push before they're out for release that the brothers added a simple quest and some basic character setup options and that was about all they had ready for their launch in Andrews own words there was no character advancement no spells and no guilds and no ranged weapons other than that there was just the novelty of seeing other people walking around in 3d and talking to them the brothers worked with Mike sellers to get their ISP running in San Jose Florida they put together meridians client install package for the alpha version and proceeded to upload it to the archetype website the time had come to release the game to the public on December 15th 1995 at around midnight the alpha version of Meridian went live for the first time and the brothers went to bed wondering if anyone would even bother showing up all the game to their surprise the brothers had woken up to a total of four players on their game one of the players also happened to be the owner of MGP net which in andrew's own words was an older online games provider the owner of MGP net managed to solve their quest and explore the entire game while the brothers were asleep the brothers felt a sense of excitement and continued development of Meridian over the coming weeks and months fixing bugs patching issues and adding new content and features they got to a point where they required some help and decided to hire additional employees like coders and also recruiting in gameplay testers to help build the game world at this point the brothers were working hard to keep up with the pace of the game by producing new features testing existing ones and also running their own customer support a few months later in April 1996 some major improvements were made to the game servers which allowed up to 35 players to be logged in simultaneously the game was gaining some momentum at this point they had overseas magazines covering the game as well as the New York Times writing an article about their company it was only a matter of time before Kevin Hester a programmer at 3do found Meridian and decided to use it as a benchmark for their own projects Kevin brought the game to the attention of trip Hawkins 3do acting the company eventually invited the brothers to a meeting to discuss their product and soon after 3do agreed to purchase archetype the company they had hosted their game from for five million dollars at this point Meridian began taking shape into what it would become today the games of brothers had created was pretty unique the PvP system was extremely different from other games at the time the economy of player killing and Meridian was run by players but justice and laws was also handed out by players PK is killing players and more righteous players coming to kill them the game is not based around a defined set of levels either rather the player gains points in areas and raises individual skills like health mana intelligence etc the world of meridian was also an extremely mystical one little to no information about the games mechanics combat systems or even how the image works were ever released for players to research essentially players were 100% in the dark about exactly how their characters leveled and why this thick fog of mystique added to the game's charm and made it stand out amongst its soon-to-be competition like Ultima Online the British currency were on their way to Silicon Valley soon after they saw the opportunity of a lifetime unfolding in front of them the brothers were riding high the new positions allowed them to progress Meridian 59 at a much greater pace they added a majority of the games content and also finished removing the remainder of the servers bugs truly the Golden Age of development for Meridian 59 and a lucky dive for the currency brothers however luck isn't always one-sided 3do as a company at this time was not doing very well and the brothers didn't offer see how drastically the company would suffer during their time there as they continue to develop meridian 3do stock tanked nearly 75% the company began to layoff employees Meridian's team acquired no new members and worst of all the brothers discovered that their game was just to become simply a pilot project for 3d O's own in-house game Meridian 59 was hurried out the door on September 27th 1996 just in time for its Tober first release date the game suffered from a lack of polish bugs and subpar graphics quality the brothers were disappointed with the state that they had released it in Meridian sales were not up to 3do expectations the brothers argued their position and pointed to poor marketing as the reason for the game's failure at launch and they were right 3do had thrown them under the bus and after three years of working on Meridian the brothers left 3do and wondered what would happen to the game some of the original team members stayed behind and tried to work on game updates but Meridian was no longer the same the brothers went on to pursue their own careers in the gaming industry after leaving 3do and Meridian behind although not involved in the project after this point Andrew currency said back in the early 2000s one of the most rewarding parts of Meridian was directly talking with players and knowing firsthand that they enjoyed the game while parts of the development process were frustrating in the extreme the end result was fun for a lot of people and created a lot of friendships for the brothers it was a unique entry into the game industry perhaps one of the last times when a few individuals were able to beat out the major companies and with that Meridian 59 was poised to fade into obscurity and well it did the game never enjoyed the same popularity at once had under the 3do umbrella over the coming years the game would be quietly updated with some small and inconsequential patches in the early 2000s 3do shut its doors and marine servers were officially taken down now this wasn't the end of Meridian no the games community would not let the giant rest as they created community source two versions of Meridian 59 programs like the now popular ogre client allows modern PC users to enjoy Meridian using a sleek new user interface which isn't present in the official build of Meridian the game was eventually released on Steam but the original version of Meridian never recovered from the fall of 3do most players agree that the game was never this named after it shut down following the failure of 3do [Music] murnian still exists to this day but its original members guilds legends and stories have all either been lost time or have moved on to newer experiences as it stands meridian still has an active player base but the game is no longer the same as it once was the perfect blend of mystery intrigue and brand-new technology created the perfect storm that still is meridian there's a reason Marie ting is considered one of the world's longest-running multiplayer RPGs it has a legacy which spans back to the origins of gaming itself the origins which inspired all game designers and game companies in subsequent years game experiences are crafted through love innovation and dedication to your craft not through sheets of numbers which predict profitability so long as games are driven by a need to generate revenue we'll never really have encompassing and fantastic experiences such as Meridian 59 and maybe that's something to think about when making games moving forward and maybe it's time for MMORPGs to go back to their roots there's a lot more to discover that meets the eye my name is valiant north and I'll see you on our next

UF_q3NzX3-M | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UF_q3NzX3-M | Home Server Room Tour | [Music] hey welcome to another video in this video I'm gonna give you a tour of my server room I've talked about it a couple times my other videos and yes I do have a server room in my basement so this is where all my servers are for no data storage VMs and that kind of stuff it got a firewall there got a little network set up it's nothing that impressive but I figured that I would just give you a quick tour so it's been kind of slow lately in terms of video it's like I've been meaning to make more videos but I just don't really have any projects going on and stuff like that so I decided I'm just gonna try to make some miscellaneous videos like this once in a while and I've also been working on a programming project which is kind of boring to vlog so I'm not really gonna vlog broke I mean it's just kind of boring so whenever I think of something to make a video of uh kya Mia quite I didn't want to get more into it right so it's been kind of depressing winter like it just doesn't want to end like the footage that I show it beginning the video but that's literally like today like it's not old footage and then we think spring is here and then winter comes back it's like that every year this time of year but it just gets old really fast yeah so let's get to the server room hey so here we are in the server room now it's kind of loud in here so hopefully the mic picks this up I actually got the mic facing towards me so that shouldn't work out okay think I'll only find out what's I'm editing so anyways I'm gonna start with this role here so now this camera lens isn't really wide enough so it's kind of hard to show the whole room so um basically I got like three Bay's here so I got the first Bay and then the second B and third one and then this one's not really Bates a filing cabinet and it's get a blank panel so like any control or anything I want to add here like I can kind of just add it as I need so right now what I got going on here is it's got a battery backup system and I got split into two battery banks they're all in parallel like everything is in parallel at this point but I just have it split in two that way I can disconnect one to do maintenance without affecting the other so if the power happens to go out while I'm doing battery maintenance then I don't have to worry because right now the way it is I kinda have to disconnect the batteries just to do maintenance it's kind of a pain I eventually want to upgrade all this to a 48 volt dual conversion system and have the batteries and some kind of box on the ground where I can do maintenance without actually disconnecting them so yeah that's all this panel is for eventually I want to do some home automation stuff and then I'll put the automation panel right here so this is where the batteries are so let me zoom out here again so this is where the batteries are the original intent with this rack was to put four batteries per shelf but I'm kind of limited by the size of the containers I can buy I got quoted for some custom plastic containers and it was expensive it would be like almost a grand to get five containers actually four because that shelf is a bit smaller so I wouldn't be using it it's kind of storage so yes I got some random stuff here gloves which I never bought her putting on which I should when I'm doing battery maintenance some powder tools there but these two shells would be for batteries and I just never expanded so I've got two batteries here and it two letters there for total so these are basic lead acid batteries marine /rv batteries gives me a little bit under four on our amp hours of battery life and roughly four hours but it's been a while since I've had to actually test that like we haven't had any big power outages so I have a feeling I probably wouldn't do for hours quite anymore because I mean they've kind of degraded over time [Music] so yeah so that one's newer and then these are older ones that dates in their 2013 I had some from 2012 but I think they died I can't remember so these are like just cheap batteries from Canadian Tire so the failure mode tends to be shorted cells they just randomly short out and what ends up happening is instead of being a 12-volt battery it tecnine particularly is a 10 volt battery but it's being charged by the 12-volt system so it just kills the whole battery and well even if it didn't kill it it just wouldn't be useful so yeah so that's the battery rack now because of the way they're in there I thought it was smart and I first designed this and figured you know what it'll be nice and compact with vertical and efficient use of space the problem is very hard to get in there so when I want to do the battery maintenance it's very tricky the maintenance basically involves taking off these caps here and then I just have to add water to them that's basically with the maintenances and I also have to use a higher hydrometer I believe it's called or hygrometer I was getting those terms mixed up but basically a device I won't touch it too much because there might be acid on there but basically it tells me if the cells are healthy or not I mean basically like it tells me to charge so the charge should always be good because they're usually being floated so if the charge is not good then I noticed probably something wrong with the cell like when I had one that was shorted out it was basically like super bad like it was like completely discharged because it shorted right so like I was getting a zero volts out of it that's not good and this is the water container I used to store the distilled water because you have to use distilled water when you doing batteries you can't just put a regular tap water and I even want to experiment when making my own distilled water because believe it or not I could go through quite a lot like last maintenance I went through almost this whole container for two batteries basically what's here is what is left well I guess it was not quite the whole container but you know it was quite a lot and once in a while I took I touched the batteries they shouldn't be heating I think they're heating up there's a problem yeah anyway so this is it for the batteries and then this rack over here does actually not much in here I got some UPS's here which are separate from those batteries they're not connected manjar that's just randomly thrown their keyboards I need to connect to a server Al's you just kind raid that out it's kind of a pain I want to get like a KTM switch or KTM console but they're freaking expensive so I just never got around to I'm gonna have to try to build one sometime or something these are switches I got for free which I just to be honest I don't really use them like I would have to set these up one one of these days maybe get more gear instead of a live lab they're just random cable stuff random router which I don't use anymore PDU which is I can't remember but I think it's on the ups and then that box behind there it's kind of hard to tell but that is the big UPS that is the inverter it's an inverter charger look at those big beefy cables going back there so this is inverter charger this is what power is pretty much all the important stuff basically the point at this Rack is to probably put power equipment at some point wanna do some rectifiers and inverters and do kind of like a 48 volt dual conversion system and this is the main rack so this is where the actual servers are so I'm gonna start at the top so right here that's just some home automation stuff it's a little bit ugly a lot of stuff is hard-coded and hardwired and it goes up to these are adrenal there's one board it's like an Arduino sorry you might lose my sound here because I'm pointing the camera up and the mic is not playing towards me anymore yeah so this is basically like a our jury no one and really controller board and it's all connected to this stuff and then it's connected to this server here which I named Hal 9000 which is kind of which is kind of fitting for what it's doing because home automation stuff thankfully I don't have it controlling any hash doors and my name's not Dave so I should be okay it won't lock me out and then the server just above how the night owls and that's the firewall it's writing at pfSense and then I got to network interface cards and it's just basically it's connecting as a firewall and it does the inter VLAN routing and I'm back there I got some switches two of them are active and I'm one of them I actually want to use as like an ice guy see /sand switch but the fan is really loud so I unplugged it for now but whenever comes a time to set it up I'm just gonna put a different fan in it and this is a server that was actually decommissioned a while back this is actually my oldest server the install date of the operating system for this server is 2008 so it's about ten years old and I mean it still works like everything in it still works it's running for the work 4-9 which is very old but I mean it did everything I needed to and then what ended up happening is actually a bit of history on the server when I live my parents I build that server and it was just in the regular Tower box was sitting in the basement I didn't have quite that many drives but they had actually know what I'm trying to remember I think I one point it did add all those drives actually start with those drive bays I think I only had like three drives in the raid 5 and I kind of grew from there and then at one point this was pretty full drives which got migrated to this server here which I'll talk about in a bit so basically I started migrating all this stuff off the server maybe about a year ago to disorder which is the VM server and the VMS are store on on this server so the only thing that was left over was the mail mail is just such a pain but to set up that I was getting lazy and I never did it well well finally about a month ago maybe I decided to just virtualize this whole box so I actually still have the Fedora core 9 OS running and everything but it's in a VM now so this server is actually off it's still a decent box it's like a Core 2 quad and I mean it has vtd technology which would allow for virtualization so it's kind of cool that I can still use it as like a lab server or something if I want to test something so it's just gonna stay there for now now this is the VM server if I recall I think it's last survived built it's it's been a while now stuff built any servers I kind of have everything the way I'd like it so this is running xeon i don't remember the exact ship or huh it was 32 Meg's of RAM in it it's basically a Z on base or made by Super Micro so I basically got the bare-bones kit and then I just put it together and that was it nothing too fancy let's a decent box none of those drives are populated except I think the OS drive or actually no not even I think I have like a solid state in there or something it's been a while so the actual storage is here so this is running NFS what's running Linux yeah all this stuff is running Linux by the way none of this windows Madigan's it's all Linux so yeah so this is running Linux and it's running md raid and then it runs NFS which serves this server and it also just serves general file access for the rest of the network this is what I want to change eventually I want to treat this more as a sin so it this will be like behind a separate network and it only I'll have separate NICs for every server that needs it but for now it's just part of the network it's just a normal server while this server here is a mining rig it's running it's a mining aetherium I only have two GPUs at 210 70s nothing fancy I don't remember the Giga hash I think it like 60 mega hash or something like that I don't remember exactly but it's basically mining a little bit at a time of mine close to to theory I mean about 2 so it's not exactly the most efficient or the most effective minor but hey it's doing something I kind of got into the game late I regret not getting to a Bitcoin in the early days but that is life and these two are actually my workstations so one of them is running Windows for gaming stuff and then the other one is running Linux which is my daily driver network so in terms of servers that's pretty much it like I don't have a lot of servers this room is completely overkill for DML servers I have I mean like that home automation box I could easily replace what a Raspberry Pi and actually plan on doing that that firewall I might even convert it I even replaced with a like some kind of small form-factor kind of blocks and I eventually just want to have like two VM servers in one storage and then obviously the workstation all that would stay but you know like there's some downsizing and can do it here and then the weirdest track is design is it's just for a cable management I built all this because cable management systems are very expensive so it's just easier and better to build it myself this is just like a 4/4 rack and I basically built around it it can I see the lumber behind there and all that and then I also have some ABS pipes which run rate I just can't really see that because of the bars but yeah so this runs right in the back so if I want to run wires across I can so let's get in behind so I started insulating the basement a while back so I think I'll dry while all this now the cable management isn't that great but that's the patch panel that goes all the jacks to rub the house and then the switches yeah this isn't the best cable management and I actually fixed it a lot back believe it or not but I just didn't do a good job that these cables go up to my office which is basically for video USB and all that stuff for the workstations it's kinda nice having the workstations down here and not in the computer room and the reason for that is less noise less heat less dust this is a big mess down here to audio box here that does the audio for two pcs going straight upstairs that's the back of the mine rig the rig was custom built mostly plywood stuff lumber stuff of that rhyme all cases are so expensive it's hard to justify buying them when you can just build them unfortunately wood is playable so it's kind of a concern but honestly I'm not that worried I mean I got all this wood here and some people would freak out see oh no that's flaming ball hello was the last time a computer caught fire I mean it happens but it's very rare and even if it did the fire would kind of just like be contained like never try to light a piece of wood on fire with like a lighter like it's it's not that easy anyway so this is a PDU cable management isn't the best but it's you know it's it's okay it works and it's how much power I'm drawing so three amps off the inverter and five apps off the UPS obviously the UPS is just there to take care of a little power bump so while the inverter is there for a longer term and up here I have an interesting box this is a flight aware flight feeder and what it does is I have an antenna in my attic and it captures flight data from Airlines and it actually submits it to slide aware so that's not cool I just did that for fun it cost me anything and this is just the back of all the other racks there's nothing really to show back there I did probably show you in my horrible DC wiring so this is a DC cabling that goes out to the front panel yeah it's it's kind of ugly I want to redo all this one of these days there's two fuses there yeah so this is it for this video so I hope you enjoyed this little tour of my sur room I'll probably do some more videos on projects in here as I go along at some point I might even redo some of this stuff one thing I didn't account for is the acoustics when I build this place a lot of the structural stuff or the rack is actually like fastened to the ceiling which is fine it was originally meant that way the problem is that the vibrations actually resonate throughout the house so like if I have a server where the fan that's really loud it'll kind of resonate and I don't know if you can actually hear that the mic but there is one that kind of winds if it goes like yeah that's kind of annoying and that kind of resonates so I think it's one switches doing that so eventually I need to kind of figure out that problem when I shut down on a this server here this was my loudest server and then when I shut it down there's like different noises now it's it's funny like the acoustics just complete changed in my house so eventually I do want to insulate this place and all that and try a soundproof it better and this is a panel as well that feeds pretty much everything in the basement so like any new circuits I want to add to the house I'm just feeding it from here it's my outer panel is it completely full I mention I'm gonna change it out I'll make a video on in itself yeah so this is it for today hope you enjoyed that bye you | Red Squirrel | UCAdfZMGPuNvVGeZ_1MN_ouQ | 2019-04-11 | Creative Commons

here we're on Psalm 61 today and Psalm 61 is in the New Living Translation oh God listen to My Cry hear my prayer oh from the ends of the Earth I cry for your help and when my heart is overwhelmed lead me to the Towering Rock of safety now stop when my heart is overwhelmed lead me to the Towering Rock of safety he couldn't lead you to the Towering Rock of safety if the Towering Rock of safety were not there so I thank you Lord this morning that each and every day you lead us to your towering Rock of safety a refuge a safe Refuge a fortress where my enemies are enemies they cannot reach us in that place for you've heard our vows oh God you have given us an inheritance reserved for those who fear your name add to the many years of life to the king many years span the generations may he Reign under God's protection forever May each and every single one of you Reign under God's protection forever may your unfailing love and faithfulness watch over him then I will sing praises to your name forever as I fulfill my vows each day Lord we commit to fulfill our vows to you each and every day and even as I'm reading that I just feel compelled to go back to Psalm 23. oh my complaint today is still a bitter one just give me a moment here I'm just going to hit the mute button here just give me one moment all right I want you to participate we're just doing we're just we're just we're just going to soak in the word here oh my complaint today is still a better one I try hard not to groan aloud if only I knew where to find God I would go into his court I would lay out my case and present my arguments then I would listen to his reply and understand what he says to me would he use his great power to to argue with me no he would give you a fair hearing honest people can reason with him yeah thank you Lord so I would be forever acquitted by my judge I go east but he's not there I go west but I can't find him I do not see him in the north where he is hidden I look to the South but he's still concealed but he knows where I'm going he knows where you're going and he will test you he you you will come out as pure as gold for you have stayed on God's paths you have followed his ways and not turned aside oh I I beg and I implore and I pray that that is a true statement for you today stay on his path and do not turn aside you have not departed from his commands but if treasured his words more than daily food but once he's made his decision who can change his mind whatever he wants you to do whatever he wants to do he does so he will do to you and he'll do to me whatever he has planned he's the one who controls our destiny but we have an active part in this we can be rebellious and go the opposite direction and he won't stop us he'll just let us suffer the consequence of the Rebellion so Lord today I just pray that your spirit come and overwhelm overpower and subdue us to your perfect will for our lives because your perfect will for our lives is the perfect life thank you Lord no wonder I'm so terrified of his presence when I think of it Terra grips me God has made me sick at heart all the almighty is terrified me Darkness All Around Me thick impenetrable darkness is everywhere and that leads us right over to Psalm 91 and we know it and we're gonna go there again today [Music] Lord we decree and declare that we are those and we find

to see where these little nuggets are hidden that we can make clips that edify the larger body of Christ there are many who will not come on to a decree call this long there are many who are curious about what we're doing but just won't watch a 90-minute video but they'll watch a five-minute piece of instruction and this call every day is loaded with them thank you Lord thank you Lauren thank you Lord foreign well I had a bunch of stuff chalked up uh you know that we could places we could go I've got some some words here we could unpack and I'm just feeling not today we just knocked we just gave a knockout blow to the kingdom of darkness we do not need to add anything to it we don't need to subtract anything from it we just rest in it so I'm just going to open up the lines now and if you've got a praise report or a testimony or if you've been moved by something that's been happening here share it good morning everyone this is Jody hi hi hi I want to give praise to God and thanks I heard you say today and I don't know why it stuck out so much but in the decree we spoke of the experiential knowledge of Christ and um I I want to share that I had an experience this past weekend with uh some women that met I think I said this before we we don't we don't go on a weekend retreat we go for an advancement but um I I was able to really get away uh from noise get away from distractions and um I wasn't feeling great but um the more I pressed into the presence of the Lord and offered him a praise and a worship and a song even though my body was weak and I I think I had a flu but I I it you know it was kind of mild but just was enough to slow me down but the point is I was able to progress past those body aches and and you know mild fever and blah blah blah and worship and as I did so the worship increased and the Lord would give me another song to sing and another just it just was incredible to experience him in that way and some folks may say well power does it take all that well you know Christian does it take all that dancing all of that singing But I want to decree and I want to declare and I want to thank God and praise him for meeting me in that place where I gave him all that I have all that I know and even beyond my own physical ability I asked him help me to worship you and in doing so oh um I had an experience with him that was powerful and personal and no need to go into details except that he wants to show us great and wonderful things and sometimes it does take all of that with the shofar and the singing and the praising and I I encourage anyone who feels like that's a bit much well just try it we I know for me I've tried other things I tried just to be 100 transparent I tried marijuana I tried alcohol I tried all of those things and none of them gave me an increase of his presence and a lasting Assurance of his love so I just want to say thanks to God and encourage someone if you thought it was a little weird to do a little dance while you worship just try it you thought it was a little weird to sing really loud outside in a park just try it he's gonna meet you there because he loves our praise that's it he loves Our Praise and he uses it amen there's a reverberative power in our praise and our worship yeah praise God thank you for sharing that Jody I just want to say that I understand what you're saying and I was walking down the street one day because I live along the river so I was out doing my exercise and I had my phone going and it was praise music on it and I was singing along and a lady walked by me the other way and she put her hand up and she said praise the Lord she looked over and smiled at me and I thought Hallelujah Lord thank you Jesus it's just so encouraging when that kind of thing happens so I know what you're talking about it lifts you up and it lifts other people up around you yeah you know you can even take a simple little lick like that we just we just this morning we sang God you're so good God you're so good God you're so good you're so good to me I go for a walk to the post office or I go for a walk to the park over there you can just put that under your breath the whole world doesn't even need to hear you the only one that needs to hear you is God but he's not hearing your thoughts he's hearing what comes out of your diaphragm and through your vocal cords into the atmosphere so it's not about the volume it's about the act of obedience and Just Praise Him and worship him keep it on your lips and very often I'm driving I mean we drive out of here I go north you see all the North Shore mountains there's still capitalists and I just like wow Lord you're so good I just praise him I just thank him for it thank him you know maybe maybe you're driving through the middle of the Prairies and you see the fields out there wow thank you for the abundance that you've given us Lord saying oh look at this straight garbage pipe oh thank you for the abundance Lord mm-hmm oh and I want to encourage you too my sister was tuning in to um one of the decree calls um via YouTube and I think I've mentioned in the past that she sings uh like she's not a professional because she just never did it but she sings like a professional singer and when she heard you singing she said wow this man loves God he is really worshiping God so keep doing what you're doing it's blessing people oh my goodness yeah thank you I agree with that God loves the sound of our voices and it doesn't we don't have to be professional because he loves the sound of our voices after all he gave them to us so I want to share what happened yesterday I had an appointment had a medical building in Downtown Vancouver and it was a professional building and as I was waiting I was standing by the receptionist and the Lord said Joe just go speak to her and so I went up and I'm we're chit-chatting about things and kind of stuff that's going on in the medical field right now all of a sudden she said to me you know can I talk to you and I said absolutely and I said so I I listened to her and she was telling me about her daughter who was being bullied and um it was it's such a struggle for them because she's a single parent and had two children and her daughter was being bullied and she said you know I have to work all the time to look after my family and she said I just don't know what to do so anyway I said to her well I said you know I really believe God it watches over us now in this conversation I knew she was a Hindu and I said I really believe God watches over us and our children and I was able to start to witness to her and then I said to her can I pray for you and she said yes please pray for me so anyway I I paused for a minute and I said okay Holy Spirit fill my mouth and he did and it was so beautiful anyway we're we've got all these people around us in this medical building holy sick people around us so anyway they can hear us and then she said to me she started to cry and she said that was so beautiful she said I believe God can do anything and I said so do I and he she said I'm and then she went into you know God is you know I believe God is can be many people's different gods and I said to her you know the biggest thing is is that God loves us all he loves us all and he loves your daughter and I said we're praying a prayer protection around here anyway she started to cry again and and then um I wasn't able to lead her to the Lord but I knew that's why I wasn't there to do that I was just there to pray with her just you just turned the spoil to encourage her so good anyway I want to just tell you on the way home so I'm driving home hang on hang on hang on hang on so hang on to that thought and finish it just either you but you said something and then you threw in any way on it and no there was a teaching moment there so I'm gonna I'm gonna call it out now okay good and she agreed to let you pray for her and then you said under your breath not audibly to her okay God fill my mouth with your words yes I did okay that wasn't a throwaway anyway no it wasn't well hang on I'm teaching something here so just you you you you you you you you you put the you put the bag of goodies on the table let me open it up now all right because everything is about practical application and what can we learn from it and this is I've been called to do this so it's like yesterday anyone can Lord who do you want me to meet today and what do you want me to say it's just another way of saying what Judy said there remember we talked this yesterday Lord who do you want me to meet today and what do you want me to say who do you want me to meet today and what do you want me to say Lord just like Isaiah I say send me who do you want me to meet today what do you want me to say what do you want me to meet who do you want me to meet today what do you want me to say and then when one of these opportunities come up you can just under your breath go Lord put your words in my mouth and that takes all the pressure off of you for having to come up with the perfect prayer and the perfect time he'll respond instantly and somehow the right words will just come out of your mouth we have to shatter the fear of the unknown he's pouring out his Spirit on All Flesh and there's a receptiveness today that has never existed in our lifetime like this before so anyway I just wanted to grab that and just I wanted to expand on that before it gets lost down the 99 and for those of you who don't know it's it's a highway um in in Vancouver not Vancouver well in the uh podcast what Siri I guess we'd call it because it goes right into Vancouver it's a highway on the west coast there we go that's beautiful but I want anyway I'm looking out and the mountain tops were full of snow and we have a mountain called Mount Baker and it was so Exquisite it was kind of like I got this um a moment of oh Lord like oh Lord this is so amazing this is your touch it's so beautiful I was so totally overwhelmed not the goodness but the glory that he just put around me it was it was so so so so so so beautiful and I wanted to share that amen sometimes it's just little things or big things that we get to see his glory and I really felt like that anyway here we go 10 000 reasons for my heart to praise we sing that song some days too and if you'll just look around and you'll keep your eyes open you'll find a reason to praise him anyway anybody else power can I share a testimony and Glory Give the Lord Glory I we um we had a new family move in close to us and they have three children they're they move from Qatar and they just recently got here and one of their daughters is has become friends with my daughters and she's so sweet and I haven't had a chance that much if they just well they moved here in the middle of winter so we're not really outside that much socializing but their mother her name's Sarah and the father's name is Ibrahim which I thought was interesting and so I was talking with Sarah the other day and our children were playing and you know what I'm just talking to her and talking to her about Canada and you know just and praising God while I'm doing it and because I praise him all the time he's always on my lips and so we're talking and at the beginning of our conversation she was saying how her back was sore and so you know we talked we talked we were there for probably an hour or so the first time I ever spoke with her and before she she left like to go back home um I had said to her I said I can I pray for your back like I'd love to pray for you knowing okay Lord this is your time to demonstrate your power that you are the one true and living God which I know you are so she said yes please and her eyes kind of lit up and I said Okay and she said it's her fourth and fifth lumbar that are um they're they're kind of dislocated so I asked the Lord and I said Lord I want to give you a testimony Lord I want her to see you know your power and your glory and that you are the one true and living God and that you are willing and able to heal um Holy Spirit move in your power so anyway so I I you know I touched her back and I was praying over her and uh it was amazing and she afterwards you know she said thank you and you know she was really happy and then you know we talked for a few more minutes and she said my back like what what you what your prayer for my back my back feels better and I said and I just said Hallelujah I said don't thank me I said we're going to give thanks to the Lord Jesus Christ I said he he healed your back I said um and he is here and he is President so I didn't in that instance leader to the Lord because I'm going to have many more conversations with her um but I just I love that the Lord opened up that door and um yeah I just want to give him the glory for that thank you Lord hallelujah thank you for sharing okay there's another teachable moment Christine said Lord I just want to be able to give you a testimony she took it all off herself Lord put your words in my lips don't let this be about me Lord I just want to give you a testimony don't make this about me make this all about you let me be an instrument without using all those words both of these situations show us the exact same thing but the spotlight on you Lord just used me as a vessel to do it and then he'll answer that he'll respond to it you think he can't prepare their heart to receive it you think he can't prepare your mouth to speak it he'll do both of those things praise God so good hello hi hi hi it's Christine I wanted to when when I heard the message about the uh mountain tops and how beautiful it was the gift from God it reminded me of this beautiful one day when I was driving um to visit my mom moved many years ago and it the Red Buds were all out the trees that had the most it's the most unique color and I was just thanking the Lord for this beautiful color I said I don't know of anything else in the world that has that color well that way on on that day on the way home in the rainbow he had that color for me it was so beautiful I was like thank you Lord keep those beautiful things for us just because we worship him yeah thank you Lord yeah thank you well just because we worship him yeah there you go there's another reason to worship another one oh good amen amen or something yeah yeah you just gotta listen if you're raising your hand I don't know if you're a grease so just speak up speak up um so um what I like to share well it kind of goes with um the lady who just spoke and with Judy um I have a friend she had an arm operation so I take her dogs to this dog park and I noticed I think it was the first time I took the both of them but just the one the one day but it was in the morning and the Sun was shining down uh like it was so glorious and all the dogs it was amazing like people sometimes it takes us time to um get to know each other and start to talk and all that but these dogs they just charged and went over and all they're all playing together right away and then the sun was shutting down that was like oh my goodness it was so glorious it was just so amazing to see and um so then you do walk around like of course they're not on leads okay they're walking but this one lady said yes this is my therapy you know but um it was like I don't know what it's going to be like in heaven like all our dogs or animal friends are going to be there but it was for me it was God's love down on that Park and all the people who are walking around with their dog you know just walking around they could see they they must have felt God's love anyway I thought it was just amazing I don't know if that means anything to any of you here but for me it was the glory of God Amen I'm so good all right well time for a couple more I got a big meeting coming up so I'm happy just to close this thing down but I

RZkYvtQNzog | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZkYvtQNzog | 【Blade&Soul】 Ao's Blade Dancer Overview [Lightning or Wind?] | hey guys welcome to my blade answer overview so first things first what spec should you play a lot of people ask me this question should I go Lightning or wind and all I can say is just play whichever one you like there's really not much difference in PPS late game anyway so lightning is more like a phaser or single target dps and wind is more like an AoE bursty rotation based dps and that's about it just choose whichever one you like I personally like when more because it's more fun at this more variation to it but you know lightning is also more free meaning you can basically keyword a whenever you want and you win build you might get animation locked and then you can iframe and end up screwing up super hard but that's about it for that let's move on so I'm gonna be talking about lightning beauties mainly in this video and there's not much difference in the positioning of a blade and saying it done generally right anyway it doesn't matter what's packages so lightning BD these are the skills or that aspects that I take I'll go over them really quickly left like you want to take the increase speed thunder take the right one because you never want to use that in a boss fight anyway so you don't care about the damage all you want is the range for the convenience or mud clearing and stuff you know don't leave that much to that lightning drop three reasons why you should not take couple cast one they're actually removing this very soon - it does not do more damage I've tested it three you're a OE one will actually proc things like your weapon buff and your earring above it ring buff it will actually proc things so this one is simply better than the double cast never take the bubble cast under / not much to it the other two is useless in PvE Malstrom they are changing this too but I take the solo one for two reasons one it does not Blalock me so I can use it when I get a legendary set right away and I have to wait for the play lock and two it will actually remove all debuff things like poisons bleed things like that unless as I unlocked of course and Z not much to it take this one for damage if you're dying take the middle one the third one is for PvP only if you have a an ascendant let's say because the cooldown is super long but this one is very oaky though it will resist chill effects you'll still get the chill stack but chill will no longer disable your ex or your to an excellent flash step this one is just super convenient the middle one stun if you take it if you need it if you want it an extra stun is always nice if you need it this one works I'll take you behind the enemy meaning is basically like a keyword eat that stuns and doesn't I bring you that's lightning strike and blade guard I think that you should never take blade guard because most boss attacks you can't a sidestep anyway so you really don't need this one even for tanking you just take it for fun if you want to but I don't really see a point in taking it liquor once PvP once PvE the left one is creamy either I wants PvP that's it battle grip the middle free phantom grip is only for hive Queen if you need to solid grip spiders take the middle shape phantom grip it will knock them back other than that never take the middle tree right trait only take ad in arena PvP or in sixes if you don't care about your teammates damage if you don't need restraint take the theurgy because it's not a shorter cooldown the first one will give you restrain so use it for boss fights use it for sixes you know rate and never take the one on the right unless you wanna troll stick with the Sun if you don't want to troll and spin a lot of people stick with parry even when they don't need it all I have to say has never take parry if you don't need it only take parry if you need to if you need to block balls if you deep needed to do max take parry if you don't then don't take it the average reduction will always give you a speed boost meaning if you have to step on flowers if you have to share a pup with the teammate you can use it as a speed boost and that's about it for the main skills locking skills I like locking dive-bomb for obvious reasons it is a super useless skill with a very long animation in PvE just overall trash and all the airborne skills I keep take flight because I might still need to hear when some enemies like thank you are you black tower things like that but although all of the other skills are mine use by accident if someone else it wins the boss by accident and I'm trying to flicker and we'll use a sin and take me out of draw stands which really sucks okay so plain answer what is your playstyle like and what do I mean by phase roll DPS now after you get your limitless soul badge and you know that's about it after you get that and you're a set V T so shields all you do is roll your face on your keyboard and an E cancel meaning use these four skills off cooldown except for some cleave you want to use that after your second daughter slash I'll show you that really quick so my second thunder slash is coming up and then I used unclear with that and that's about it that's lightning blade answer from that point on e disease everything off cooldown not everything but these four skills off cooldown if you screw up or if you lag where if you glitch and you end up out of combat and audre skills are on cooldown just use their ultimate that will take you back into draw stance and there's lightning latencies so what are played answers good at or why would a team wanna take a blade a blade answer basically one reason bps everything else a B D has to offer can easily be replaced things like Malstrom it can't be replaced by a BM phantom gripped and replaced by a destroyer you know just easily replaceable all you can offer is DPS and that is the BDS role just DPS lightning is phaser all DPS and Wynn is rotation based DPS and bristly DPS so choose whichever one you like I hope you guys enjoy blade answers I suppose certainly do enjoy blade answers and if you have any questions where do you have any suggestions or ideas feel free to share it in the comments or having me on discord and thank you guys for watching have a nice day | Ao Neko | UCE2DfLAdCI0tbOVnoGoy2MQ | 2018-04-18 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 1,216 | 6,183 |

8W4TDuBLIDw | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8W4TDuBLIDw | My Worst Enemy Became My Step Sister! | hi everyone I'm Emma and this is my story about what can happen when someone gets so jealous of you they try to ruin your life it all started with my mom she's a beautiful woman and I took after her so when she divorced my dad and we moved to a new town obviously I started a new school that's when the trouble began I became popular very quickly but not the girls it was the boys who went wild from me and it drove me crazy I just wanted a normal life with some nice friends and it wasn't my fault my mom had passed her beauty down to me anyway there was one girl in particular called Anna who was having none of it she was also pretty but she was seriously jealous of me from day one I remember that first week hearing some girls whispering in the bathroom that I was prettier than Anna and then Anna walked in and she looked like she wanted to scream after that she went out of her way to destroy my life at my old school I'd been a cheerleader so I signed up to join at this new school little did I know Anna was head cheerleader she pretended to be all nice to me at practice then at the first football game we were performing and going through our routine which Anna had choreographed she made me go at the top of the pyramid balancing on top of everyone I was so nervous but I knew I could do it anyway as I was climbing up there I suddenly saw Anna whisper to the the girl next to her and then she moved and the whole pyramid started to fall she obviously wanted to hurt me but it backfired and we all fell on top of her all we heard was a scream as her arm snapped afterwards she told everyone I was clumsy and it was all my fault but I knew she'd planned it so I'd be the one to get hurt and that's not all prom was coming up and my mom had made me the most beautiful long silk dress I felt like a princess and couldn't wait to see what everyone would think of course Anna was also wearing a beautiful dress but everyone was staring at me I saw her roll her eyes and then when I was dancing with two of my friends I felt something RI I looked behind me and Anna was standing on my dress I couldn't believe it I tried to move but she wouldn't budge and it wouldn't stop ripping suddenly I was standing there with a mini dress and I wanted to cry but then my friend quickly got some scissors and needed it up and believe it or not it actually looked even cooler than before once again Anna tried to make me look like a fool but it all fell on her everyone was so impressed with my dress and I even started a new trend wearing mini dresses to prom however despite all these silly pranks there was one thing that Anna had that I didn't a boyfriend she was dating Isaac one of the top athletes in school and anytime she was with him and saw me she would always smirk and looked me up and down as if to say she had a boyfriend and I didn't I didn't care for her silly competitiveness though I wasn't even bothered about being single all I wanted was for her to leave me alone pretty soon we became like enemies I just couldn't stand her and her annoying behaviors but then things got worse one weekend my mom drove me to a game and insisted on staying to watch my cheerleading performance later I spotted her chatting with some men and she looked like she was having a good time I was happy to see her smile that brightly after a long time and as expected not long after that she introduced him to me but you won't believe who it was it turned out he was Anna's dad out of all people on Earth and where still they were now hopelessly in love and even wanted to get married oh no if I knew who he was I would have broken them up from the start I couldn't be Anna's stepsister this was my worst nightmare and when Anna found out about this she started to treat me even worse one time I was walking in the canteen when suddenly someone pushed me I went flying and ended up bumping into a boy who fell over two it was so sore but the pain quickly disappeared when I realized who the boy was it was Liam the new Haw guy who just joined the athletes Club I kept apologizing to him but he just laughed and said it was okay then helped me get up and took me to to the nurse's office to make sure I wasn't hurt afterwards he even asked for my number I couldn't believe it I was actually blushing over a boy then I went back to the canteen and there was Anna staring at me all angry I didn't even have to think twice about who'd push me obviously Anna well thanks to her silly prank now I had a cute guy interested in me and for once I was actually interested in him too it didn't take long before we became a couple and then we were pretty much attached at the hip I also joined his athletes practice and because Isaac was there too Anna was always there as well she just glared at me with dagger eyes whenever she saw me I didn't get what her problem was anyway one time the athletes Club suggested we all go see a movie with girlfriends included in the theater Anna sat behind me and kept kicking my chair I turned over and asked her to stop but she wouldn't I could feel the anger welling up inside me and I thought I was going to explode but I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of Liam so I decided I needed to stay as far away from Anna as possible that wasn't easy though our school had organized a big athletes competition with another school and so Liam was always practicing I always sat in the stands and watched him and on the day of the competition Anna came and sat next to me I almost froze what was she up to instead of pulling some prank she handed me a bottle of water and said hey Emma I don't want to be your enemy anymore we're basically going to be sisters so let's just make up okay then she turned to me and smiled shy wao well that was a surprise I felt relieved though and said I thought this day would never come I hated things being all awkward between us Anna just smiled at me again and then we came down to the field where Isaac and Liam were warming up for the race to wish them luck finally the competition began Anna and I sat together cheering our boyfriends on as expected Liam won first prize and Isaac came in second I was so happy for Liam and ran out to the field to hug him but suddenly some of the organizers approached him and escorted him off the field I had no idea what was going on but I saw Anna smirking at me and then walking away what was that for after a while the organizers came back and said Liam had been caught doping so now the first prize would go to Isaac what there was no way Liam would do something illegal like that he' never used any kind of substance to perform well he was just naturally talented everyone started saying mean things about Liam and I couldn't bear it so I went to find him I saw him sitting in the corner of the locker room looking shocked when he saw me he shook his head and said I didn't use doping you have to believe me Emma I'm not that kind of guy all I did was drink the water you gave me oh my my God the water bottle Anna had given it to me and I must have passed it on to Liam to hyd her before the competition I thought she was being nice but of course she wasn't this was Anna we were talking about she'd planned this she was seriously too much I ran to find her and I was raging she was happily talking to the other athlet so I grabbed her wrist and pulled her away how could you are you trying to ruin Liam's life I yelled at her Anna wasn't even bothered she just smirked and said yep I am and so what I was shaking by that point and I said you're crazy why did you do it what has Liam ever done to you I did it cuz I hate you you stole everything from me including Liam huh I was so confused since when did Anna like Liam well Isaac appeared at the exact moment and he obviously heard what she said he started shouting you told me you did that to help me win but no you're a complete liar here so you're just jealous of Emma huh okay then now you can run after Liam as you wish we're over Anna was shocked and tried to explain that she'd done it for him that he was misunderstanding her but he wouldn't even look at her he said you won't get away with this Anna I'm going to tell the organizers right now Anna tried to get him to stop but he pushed her away and she ended up falling onto the ground where she burst in tears ha she deserved it I went back to find Liam and the organizers announced that there were some problems with the results and that the competition would be repeated the following weekend Liam looked so happy and hugged me everything worked out in the end well at least for Liam and me Liam still won first place and now he's going to compete in the international competition as for Anna and Isaac well they broke up and Anna moved to another city with her mom and Isaac got kicked out of the athletes Club on another note my mom and Anna's dad are getting married soon and even though I can't stand Anna I'm still going to go because it'll mean a lot to my mom at least I don't need to live in the same house as Anna she's got to be the most jealous person I've ever met and it's not done her any good Envy really is poison it's much better to just be happy with what you have right now right have you ever wondered what being a parent would be like how about if you suddenly became a parent and your parent became a teenager well it happened to me and I'm here to tell you all about it hello everybody my name's heaven and I'm 17 but don't let my name deceive you because this Heaven came straight out of hell I suppose I've never been the easiest child back when I was younger I had a lot of temper tantrums and outbursts once when I was eight this boy took the green crayon I wanted so I snatched it off him then snapped it in half he burst into tears and the teacher got involved and tried to put me in the timeout corner so I screamed at her and even gave her some bruises the teacher rang my parents and told them this was the last strike and I'd been expelled when they picked me up my dad just sighed and stayed quiet but my mom yelled at me well I hope you're happy now Heaven you've brought shame to our family and now we've got to find another school willing to take you now 9 years later and the relationship between Mom and me is worse than ever we just don't see eye to eye on anything to be honest we're like strangers she has absolutely no idea what it feels like to be a teenager and her super strict rules are ridiculous such as no boyfriends until I'm 18 no parties no drinking no staying out past 8:30 PM no unhealthy Foods no no no no no she was such a fun killer jeez who was she to try and control me like this G me being me I tried to find my way around these stupid rules I made out I was having a girly sleepover at my friend Clara's house then ended up going to a party I said I was at an after school club when really I went on a date with a boy and I chucked the healthy packed lunches she made me in the trash and ordered a greasy burger and loaded cheese fries instead I hated the fact that Mom was ruining my life with all of her dumb rules and she hated the fact that I didn't respect her enough to follow her dumb rules because of this we argued a lot and my little bro JN and my dad often found themselves stuck in the middle I guess that they couldn't stand the icy atmosphere between us So eventually they themselves prepared for a family day out and it was certainly going to fix nothing her rules still followed us to the park and she'd even stopped me talking to this really cute guy and shouted at me to go mind John G I wasn't here to be a made then when we got home she insisted I help her cook dinner so I poured dad a beer and when I thought Mom wasn't looking I slurped back the rest of the can suddenly my mom screamed out what do you think you're doing you're too young to be drinking I just rolled my eyes and said what it was a tiny sip stop being so uptight else you'll turn into a wrinkly old prune then I threw the can on the floor and walked off she gave me a fierce glare but I didn't care how could she be just so serious so when we were all sitting around the table for dinner I could feel the tension between me and Mom she passed John a plate full of chicken nuggets but she passed me a plate heaped full of broccoli yuck um where are my nuggets I asked asked Mom replied John is a growing boy you however need to eat some vegetables as you're getting a little chubby how dare she I wasn't even fat in fact I'm so skinny I could be a model if anyone needed to watch their weight it was her not me she was the one squeezing herself into her old pair of skinny jeans so I grabbed my plate of broccoli and threw it in the trash mom got up and said f go hungry see if I care and you can clean up after yourself from now on I yelled back ridiculous there's nothing in my stomach and you're giving me chores is this child abuse but then my dad startled Us by slamming his fist on the table that's enough both of you start acting like grown-ups we both muttered out sorry then Dad came up with his Bonkers idea okay so if you two cannot live in in harmony why don't you trade places mom and I were kind of confused what do you mean I said to him well it's simple Heaven you'll switch places with Mom and do the housework shopping making dinner and taking care of John and so on while Ariana he looked at mom you'll relive your teenage years and go to school let's say for 2 days Mom looked thrilled at the prospect of being me as for me me I wasn't convinced I mean who likes doing chores besides tomorrow at school was class picnic day which meant no classes lots of tasty food and plenty of time to stare at cute boys but Mom seemed so excited at the idea of being me so I decided I could take advantage of this does this mean I don't have to follow any stupid rules I asked and Mom and Dad nodded in agreement okay then all the strict rules are gone does this mean I can eat chocolate in bed John asked I grinned you beta mom just Shrugged and said it's okay Mom now I have to prepare stuff for my picnic and she excitedly ran upstairs this would be a breeze right I mean how hard could being mom actually be the next morning John woke me up extra early and insisted I make him breakfast yawn while I was pouring cereal into a bowl for him mom appeared she was wearing her hat backwards jeez someone seriously needed to tell her it wasn't the '90s anymore have fun Ariana I winked at her you too Mom she winked back I watched her through the window as she got on the school bus she turned to me and did the peace out sign jeez could she be any more uncool whatever she could be as cringy as she wanted I I didn't care as I had the whole day at home alone or at least until I had to pick up my bro from school I didn't bother loading up the dishwasher and I sidestepped past the massive pile of laundry and decided to spend the morning on the couch watching a chick flick and painting my nails H this was the life a few hours passed and I was so bored and hungry so I went into the kitchen to look for food but the cupboards were empty then I noticed a shopping list and some money on the counter reluctantly I walked to the local store but I ignored the list and bought lots of snacks hey I was mom so I made the rules in the end I found myself so bored that I actually ended up doing the laundry I didn't really know what I was doing so I threw everything into the machine fiddled with the dial and hoped for the best then my phone rang it was Clara so I answered and she said hey why is your mom here instead of you I told her about the switch up then asked her what my mom was up to she was quiet for a second then said um well she's definitely enjoying the picnic in fact she's showing Mrs puller her dabbing skills what my mom was dabbing which no one did anymore and in front of our ancient science teacher was she trying to humiliate me whatever my mom could get on with it I had house chores to do geez what's with chores they seriously never seem to end by the end of the day I was so exhausted that I ordered take out for everyone then slumped in front of the TV I finally had the option to stay out late but I didn't have the energy to do it then the next day when I was doing yet more house chores my friend Patrick sent me a photo it was mom she was wearing a cheerleader outfit that exposed her midre what she was just at a casual football match no one dressed up for that then Patrick sent me another picture in it mom was fiddling with her hair and touching some Jock's shoulder OMG was she trying to flirt with him whatever I didn't have time for this I had to go pick John up from school then go to the grocery store to get supplies for dinner we arrived home to find Mom slumped on the couch surrounded by empty wrappers and cans on seeing me she said oh you're back I told John to go to his room then I stormed over to Mom and said what's with all this mess clean it up she just smirked at me and said no you never clean it up so why should I after all we have switched places remember she finished her beer then burped loudly before she threw the can at my feet then walked off this was was so annoying I'd already tidied the living room once today and now I had to do it again my mom was so unfair then when I finally managed to grab 5 minutes to relax with a hot chocolate loud thuing sounds were coming from upstairs it was her music it was so loud it made the ceiling Shake jeez she was so annoying then suddenly it dawned on me this was how I act Ed mom was just being me so okay I guess I was a little harsh at times I suppose being Mom wasn't as easy as it looks so I decided to make amends by making a delicious dinner but there was one problem I can't cook in fact the last time I tried to cook I set the Crepes and the pan on fire so for safety purposes I asked Clara and Patrick to help me they had cooking class so they knew what to do we created a feast of barbecue ribs Burgers cornbread salad grape punch and for dessert a chocolate lava cake and blueberry pie I swear they looked so good I wanted to drool all over them mom came downstairs chewing her gum and scrolling through her phone but then she looked at the food and stuttered H how did you make all of this not even I could make this many meals I just Shrugged and said I had a Little Help from My Friends no biggie then I stopped in front of mom and said I'm sorry that I've been a bad daughter I know you do a lot for me and I promise I'll be better from now on mom started crying and said I'm sorry too I know it isn't easy being your age I can't keep up with the trends I thought dabbing was popular anyway from now on I'll be fair to you and we'll have fun together after that that we hugged it out then my dad stood up and said well now anyone want to trade places with me John immediately raised his hand and all could see his eyes light up soon we all burst out laughing thinking about one day John will go to work and talk about dinosaurs at the meetings Meanwhile my dad is building a Lego castle for John's kindergarten girlfriend my family is now happier than ever it's all thanks to my dad's crazy idea you you should never disrespect your parents otherwise you might just find yourself living in their shoes literally and trust me I'll take strict rules and being nagging parents any day if the alternative is grocery shopping and house chores hi everyone have you ever had someone get revenge on you it's not fun right well this is my story about revenge but with a Twist you won't believe who my prankster turned out to be oh let me introduce myself I'm Audrey and I'm 24 to say I've had an unhappy life would be an understatement firstly my dad ditched my mom for another woman and not long after that my mom passed away from a serious illness basically my entire life fell apart in a matter of months and I was still too young at that time it was tough growing up and I always think that my life could never turn the page again but on one fine day someone popped into my life and changed everything his name was Jim and he was 7 years older than me and he seriously turned my life around he lived in another city but he often came to my city on business trips we fell for each other quickly that happiness didn't last long though one day I was working in the clothes store when a girl around the same age as me came in she wanted my help to choose some dress but she was pretty rude to me and I kept catching her staring at me with evil eyes who was she and why was she treating me like that finally after about 2 hours she made up her mind and picked up only a tie that she wanted to buy for her husband instead I was relieved to get rid of her but shocked when I saw the name on her credit card Jim Stewart her husband had the exact same name as my boyfriend what a coincidence she must have caught me staring at the card because she suddenly said yes Jim is my husband now stay away from him what her husband my gym before I even had a chance to react she turned to everyone in the store and said this girl is a gold digger and she's trying to break up my marriage I was shocked I tried to explain that it wasn't true but she wouldn't listen to me she just stormed out and I was left standing there hearing people whispering about me it was the most humiliating moment of my life I immediately ran to the staff room and called Jim I was really hoping it had all been a big misunderstanding but I could tell from Jim's tone that it was the truth he told me he'd lied to me that he actually lived in the same city he just made up the business trip stuff so he wouldn't have to see me often then he said Audrey I honestly love you I'm serious about us hang on was he for real it was ridiculous I was disgusted by him how could he treat me like that I hung up and felt horrified it brought back horrible memories of the woman who stole my dad away from my mom I didn't want to be that woman the next day moved out of the house Jim had rented for me I didn't want to be associated with that loser anymore but life works in mysterious ways the day I moved into my new house I saw Jim's wife and you won't believe it it seemed that she just moved in next door too was this some kind of joke as soon as she saw me she smirked and said wow what a coincidence hello neighbor I'm Linda seeing her unpacking her stuff all by herself I couldn't help but wonder where Jim was but then I thought maybe Linda had ended things with him and had moved here alone I hope so anyways I'd hate to have Jim as a neighbor so that's when my new life began and it has been crazy ever since from that first week of living there Linda started pranking me it all began with her throwing trash into my yard I even caught her doing it and she just grinned and said oops my hand slipped then she walked away laughing it made me Furious and that was just the beginning one weekend a delivery guy rocked up on my porch with 10 extra large pizzas I tried to explain I hadn't ordered them and that's when Linda appeared at my door and said oh thanks for ordering me dinner audre I'm starving then she grabbed five of the pizzas and ran to her house leaving me there with a bill of $100 jeez it was so annoying and I had no option but to pay Linda was too much seriously as much as her pranks drove me up the wall I also felt sorry for her I knew what it was like to have someone you love stolen away from you she must have hated me so much for ruining her marriage even though it hadn't been my fault I decided to just put up with her pranks she'd get over it eventually and it's not like they were harming me right well one night I heard the doorbell I wasn't expecting anyone and was surprised to see a young guy standing there with a poster that said I agree to be your boyfriend come out with me I was totally puzzled and told him he had the wrong house but then he showed me the address on the other side it was my address what what on Earth I told him I wasn't interested but he tried to grab my hand and said come on girl don't be shy I told him if he didn't leave me alone I'd call the police so luckily he ran away needless to ask I knew for sure that was Linda's joke but this time she had taken it too far I decided to go over and have a word with her once and for all as I was walking to her house I saw someone familiar on the other side of the road I couldn't believe it it was my dad so many years had passed and he' completely changed but but there was no doubt it was him I suddenly blurted out dad but I didn't know what to do next I was just thinking about my next move when I felt someone behind me I turned around and saw Linda she just smirked at me and walked away what was her problem did she hear what I just said I was so shocked at seeing my dad I ran back into my house I hated him for what he'd done to my mom but he was still my dad and I wanted to know if he was okay and what he was doing here I barely slept that night as I couldn't stop thinking about my dad the next morning I was sitting by the window when he appeared again this time he was with Linda and she was holding his arm what was she doing with my dad why were they so close later that day I saw him again and this time he and Linda were hugging OMG were they dating maybe Linda had heard me call him dad and now she was flirting with him to truly get revenge on me this was too much the thought of Linda as a stepmom made me want to puke I waited and waited but he was inside her house and there was no sign of him leaving eventually he left and as soon as he was in his car I ran over to her house I was shaking as I knocked on the door and as Linda opened it I said you are way too much can you just stop with the Revenge already Linda looked confused and said what the heck are you talking about Linda still didn't seem to get it and I was about to explain when I heard footsteps I turned around and my dad was right there he said what's the matter Linda why are you fighting with this stranger huh stranger didn't he recognize me then Linda buted in and said it's okay Dad we're just having a misunderstanding here what Dad is he your dad really I stammered yeah why what's the matter he said Linda you don't need to lie to me I know you're dating my dad to get revenge on me I continued whoa hold on what do you mean your dad Linda gasped after that my dad looked confused too and walked to me and asked if he could look at my hand after seeing my birth mark he started crying and hugging me Audrey it's you it's really you I didn't know how to react so I just let him hug me it had been so long since anyone had held me like this ever since my mom had died I'd tried to be strong and keep it together but suddenly I couldn't hold back anymore I burst into tears in his arms we stood like that for a long time and eventually he took me into Linda's house and told me the story it turned out after he left me and my mom he got tricked by that woman and he was so ashamed he decided to move to another city and start over he was working hard on a construction site one day when he got injured so he ended up in hospital and that's when he met Linda she'd been in a car accident and needed a blood transfusion urgently she has a pretty rare blood type but luckily my dad had the same type and he volunteered to give her a transfusion after that they became quite close and seeing as Linda had lost both her parents in the car accident my dad eventually adopted her I couldn't believe it my dad had been through so much and this whole time I thought he was off living his life with a rich woman I felt so bad for him and decided to leave the past behind and forgive him as for Linda she was also left confused by this coincidence so she left the room to process everything while I and dad took time to catch up on our lives later Linda prepared dinner for us three and before we died in she shyly grabbed my hand and said Audrey I've been so awful to you I'm sorry I know you aren't the one responsible for my divorce but I still felt upset and that's why I played all those pranks that was so childish right please forgive me sister we laughed it off then hugged each other to make peace I couldn't believe it after all these years of being lonely suddenly I had a sister and my dad was back my life had finally turned a corner and I almost laughed at the thought that it was all because of meeting Jim at least one good thing had come out of that disastrous relationship would you ever let yourself become so wrapped up in hatred that you change your entire life to get revenge on someone well that's exactly what I did and it didn't exactly go to plan I'm Clara and I'm 25 years old it all started 5 years ago when my boyfriend Jason went to study abroad in France we were so in love at that time and it wasn't easy being a part but we coped surprisingly well Jason even promised me we'd get married when he got back but after a few short months of him being away he started growing distant he no longer called me every day and he barely even replied to my texts I thought maybe he was just too busy and stressful to deal with his new life while struggling with missing me so I decided to do something wild and fly to Paris to surprise him on his upcoming birthday I hadn't really thought about it I just excitedly got on the flight and taken a taxi to his apartment but well the moment I saw him walking into the lobby I instantly regretted it there Jason was but he wasn't alone he was hugging and kissing some other girl and she even went upstairs with him I felt my blood boil and I wanted to scream but instead I just left I was so upset but I was also angry how could he betray me like that going a long way just to see my boyfriend betraying me right in front of my eyes was a bad thing and I didn't think life could get any worse but I was wrong things were about to get much worse after leaving his place I booked myself into a nearby hostel and cried myself to sleep the next moment I was waking up to a burning smell oh God the hostel was on fire I was lucky to make it out of there alive but I was badly burned and left with a huge scar on my face there I was heartbroken and burnt to a crisp in a foreign country where I knew no one and didn't speak the language I'd never been so lonely and ugly in my life as I looked in the mirror all I felt was anger and resentment towards Jason he destroyed my life and at all costs I would make him pay for it after I'd recovered I got on the plane and flew back to the USA that's when I started plotting my revenge I had a few things up my sleeve but first things first plastic surgery so as soon as I graduated I got myself a fullface rework I even changed my name moved to a new apartment and lived with a new identity my life was miserable enough so now all I wanted was to start all over again and it worked after the surgery I turned into a completely different person just like I'd wanted and what's more I was even more beautiful than before the accident I felt incredible and couldn't wait to start living again of course I had to work my ass off to pay off my plastic surgery but it was worth it wasn't it more than that that was also how I tried my best to build a career for myself Jason would regret cheating on me for the rest of his life that's for sure and as planned after 3 years of working hard I eventually got promoted to a management position in the construction company I worked for and became a beautiful successful woman that many people admired at the same time a few of my friends mentioned that Jason had finally returned from Paris and was now working for a big architectural firm I almost laughed when I heard the company's name that was our new partner company oh things were about to get fun my friends also told me that he'd brought his French girlfriend back to the USA with him and that they were getting married soon what he was about to get married they seemed so happy together huh no wonder that for all these years he hadn't tried to contact me once after I caught him cheating I just disappeared I could have been dead for all he knew but he didn't seem to care this made me hate him even more there was no way a traitor could live happily like that I couldn't wait any longer it was time to put my plan into action so I told my boss I'd work on the project with Jason's firm at least this way I'd have an excuse to approach him at that first meeting I made sure I looked as beautiful as possible and waited with baited breath of course Jason didn't recognize me and well well well would you believe it he kept looking at me and flirting with me I found it hilarious and so kept flirting back and eventually he got the hint and asked me out what a jerk now I understood why I was abandoned in the past even when he already had his fiance he could still flirt leisurely with others his poor fiance I kept playing along and even made plans to befriend his fiance Valerie I knew she hung out in a certain Cafe so one day I went there and accidentally bumped into her dropping water all over her gorgeous outfit I kept apologizing and told her I'd pay to get it dry cleaned and eventually we started chatting and hid it off we exchanged numbers and I asked if she'd like to go shopping sometime which she agreed to this was way too easy a few days later we went shopping and it didn't take long before she started confiding in me about how lonely she was and that other than her boyfriend she didn't know anyone here I smiled sweetly and told her I'd happily be her best friend at the same time Jason and I were dating I pretended to fall for him even though inside I was furious at him I even told him I'd share some confidential work documents with him if he pampered me and treated me like a princess he seemed totally in love with me and spent all his spare time taking me out to dinner and buying me expensive gifts it seemed like he was no longer interested in Valerie obviously Valerie came to me and told me that she was very sad because the wedding was coming soon but her fiance was just cold and acting weird on the one hand I comforted and encouraged her but on the other hand I seduced Jason and took most of his money he'd even put my name on the house contract so technically I owned his place you know I wanted Jason to feel the pain of being betrayed by the person he trusted then one day Valerie called me in tears and said she suspected her boyfriend was seeing someone else I asked her what her boyfriend's name was and where he worked and said she didn't need to worry I'd help her find out a few days later I sent Valerie a few photos of him cheating with me but obviously I hid my face however it was just enough evidence to make her suffer then I told Valerie that it looked like her boyfriend was working with this other girl on a project and that Valerie could get her Revenge by destroying the project that way he wouldn't be able to work with this other girl anymore Valerie totally fell for it it was insane the very next day I heard from my colleagues that Jason's crazy fiance had destroyed the final layout for the design of the two companies project she spilled water on his laptop and threw it onto the ground while the deadline was coming it was too late to start it over apparently Jason's boss was fuming and fired him immediately this contract was worth millions of dollars and he just ruined everything I had to give it to Valerie she didn't even think about it that's how dumb she was serve Jason right finally Karma had come and bitten him in the ass that evening I went over to their house Jason now has no job no money and he was about to lose his fiance and his house too I knocked on the door and when Valerie opened it she was shocked to see me but not as shocked as she was about to become Jason saw me and looked like he was going to pass out surprise I said hi Jason at this Valerie looked confused and said wait do you two know each other I just laughed and said we sure do Valerie in fact I'm the other woman who he is cheating on you with and that's not all I'm actually Jason's ex then I turned to Jason that's right Jason it's me Clara Valerie when he came to Paris he was dating me and then he cheated on me with you so I've been getting my sweet revenge both of them looked completely stunned and instead of shouting at me they started fighting with each other Valerie was screaming how could you Jason shouted back you're crazy if you hadn't ruined my laptop things wouldn't have been like this oh really if you hadn't cheated on me I wouldn't have done that Valerie said while bursting out crying pretty soon she found out that the house belonged to me now and all of his money and that's when all hell broke loose I just stood there admiring how great my revenge had played out eventually they broke woke up with each other and I decided to kick them out of the house so my cherished Revenge plan for the past few years has been successful however there was just one problem the price I paid for it wasn't small when I showed up at work the next day everyone was whispering about me saying the project I'd been working on had been a complete failure and that it was all because I seduced the guy from our partner firm even when he was about to marry his fiance it was a disaster my reputation was ruined I couldn't handle everyone being against me so I resigned I decided to spend some time at home for a while trying to clear my head I didn't get it I'd spent years plotting my revenge and now that it had finally been a success why did I feel so bad I'd been so caught up in ruining Jason's life I hadn't thought how it would affect my life too I'd been delusional above all the joy and satiety of watching the two of them move out of the house was just temporary and what remained after that was just a feeling of emptiness what had I been doing I was just ruining people's lives especially with Valerie she was so innocent in all of this how could I have been so cruel then one day as I was walking down the street I saw her at the bus stop and she looked so sad and thin and it tormented me that poor girl didn't deserve this I couldn't just stand there and do nothing I had to apologize so I raced across the street but by the time I got there the bus had come and she had gone I decided to call her instead I asked if we could talk and at first she refused but once I said sorry and told her how terrible I felt about everything she agreed to meet me I was holding the keys to her old house and as she walked towards me I handed them over she was surprised but then I started to explain Valerie I'm so so sorry I didn't want to hurt you it's just that Jason broke my heart and for years all I thought about was destroying his life the way he destroyed mine I didn't realize you were so sweet and now I see how awful I was to you you don't deserve any of this you trusted me and I completely betrayed you at first Valerie didn't say anything then she started shouting at me saying she thought of me as her best friend and that she felt so pathetic for trusting me at this point I burst into tears I was a monster the minute I started crying something changed in Valerie she hugged me I couldn't believe it after everything I'd done to her she still wanted to hug me we were there hugging and crying and yep finally something good had come out of all this mess I had a friend and very quickly this friend will become my best friend for sure you guys honestly I don't recommend wasting your time on Revenge I threw away so many years of my life obsessing over hurting Jason and in the end it just hurt me and poor innocent Valerie from my own experience I just want to tell you that always be the bigger person and live for yourself not for others I'm sure that you've all heard the phrase you reap what you sow well I didn't really grasp what that meant until it happened to me I'm Samuel by the way but you can call me Sam I'm 21 and currently a college student a few months ago I did something awful to my girlfriend and I'm still paying the price if only I could go back in time it all started back in high school Stella and I grew up together in a small town just outside of Nashville and we were totally in love when it came time to go to college we both chose to study in Nashville but at different colleges Stella was the sweetest girl I'd ever known and our big plan was to get married after college and start a family she chose to study education so she could become a teacher her studies were so fullon she was busy all the time whereas I'd chosen business school and even though it was busy I wasn't as crazy as studying education I actually had quite a lot of spare time so I ended up joining in entrepreneur Club seeing as I wanted to start my own business one day Stella totally encouraged me and even though it meant we didn't see each other much things were still okay between us but pretty soon things started to change the more new people I met the more I realized I was growing apart from Stella and that in actual fact she kind of bored me all she talked about were her classes and even though she still loved me so much I mean she was the same old girl for years things just felt dull between us so when a new girl called Jenny joined the entrepreneur Club I couldn't help but notice her she was 3 years younger than me and so gorgeous she liked wearing tight clothes which could show all her body's curves all the guys couldn't take her eyes off her me included one time seeing Jenny stand in the corner of our club room scrolling her phone I decided to approach her and see if she was as sweet as her look I walked up to her and said hey are you a camera she looked confused and said huh so I said because when I look at you I can't help but smile she didn't even laugh she just flipped her hair and walked off saying nice try but no thanks even though hadn't been impressed by my attempt at a pickup line I couldn't give up if there was one thing in life I loved it was a challenge so from that moment on I challenged myself to win her over I know this was wrong because I had Stella but guys I was bored however a couple days later there was a rumor going around that Jenny and our club's president Max were dating Well turns out this was indeed true and to say I was disappointed would be an understatement but I already had a girlfriend so I tried to shake it off a few weeks later I was walking on the street when I heard an argument I realized it was Max and Jenny and I couldn't help but e drop the last thing I heard Jenny say before she stormed off was just wait and see then suddenly she bumped into me and fell onto the ground I quickly helped her up and apologized but Jenny said sorry Sam I'm I'm so upset I felt so bad for her so I offered to take her home and make sure she was okay I called us a cab and we climbed in little did I know Max was watching us from across the street in the cab we were silent then event eventually I plucked up the courage to ask so you and Max what happened and Jenny said that they'd broken up because he didn't like her wearing tight clothing she said she could wear whatever she wanted and asked if I agreed so I said yeah of course it's your body if I were Max I'd be so proud to have such a beautiful girlfriend after I said that Jenny leaned her head on my shoulder I couldn't believe it soon she'd be all mine but hang on what about Stella I decided to not say anything to her at that moment because she was busy with exams as soon as I got Jenny I'd break up with Stella after that Jenny started opening up to me more we often text until after midnight and in the club she started to bring me snacks and even stayed behind to help me clean up after she was even flirting with me and everyone in the club had noticed including Max he didn't approach me about it but I often caught him staring at me in a nasty way as for Stella she still called me often but I was kind of quiet she came to my place one day and insisted on making me dinner she said it'd be been a while since our last time together so I reluctantly spent time with her but to be honest I didn't care during the meal I just fastened my eyes on the phone to text Jenny I knew that Stella noticed a change in me as I looked up I caught her sadly suspicious gaze I was kind of nervous was she going to question me what should I say at that moment I couldn't find any excuse for my inattention but I wasn't ready to tell her the truth yet my relationship with Jenny wasn't official so I didn't want to break up with Stella but still she didn't say anything so I also kept quiet phew one weekend I went to a Board Game Cafe with the club members Jenny also came and when it was time to head home she asked if I could drop her home obviously I agreed and Jenny gave me a big hug when I looked to the left I saw Max watching us but neither me nor Jenny cared one bit move over Max Jenny's mine now I thought to myself in the car on the way home we chatted a lot and she said she'd heard I already had a girlfriend I found myself opening up about Stella and even told Jenny how boring she was Jenny didn't say much but when we got to her house she asked if I wanted to come in for a bit and have a beer I mean I didn't have to think twice about my answer and I don't think I need to spell out to you about what happened next well after that night Jenny still came to the club and we continued on as friends acting as if nothing had happened between us but a month later she suddenly texted me and my life flipped upside down Sam I'm pregnant she said and she'd even sent me a photo of the positive pregnancy test I was so shocked how could this have happened I immediately went over to her place and even bought another pregnancy test for her just to make sure well there was no doubt it was positive so I told her I'd stand by her and share the responsibility after that I decided to break up with Stella I talked to her on the phone and said we were too different she was such an introvert while I was an active and open person of course it broke her heart she tried to hold me but I was going to become a father and Jenny needed me plus I wasn't interested in Stella anymore over the next little while I spent a lot of time with Jenny and we officially started dating I went into full-on protective mode I picked her up every time we went out like going to school to our club in public I always took care of her from the smallest things such as getting her food and water opening the car door and so on and of course Jenny was very happy every time I did a thing for her she always showed people how sweet and caring I was hearing that the happier I was and the more I cared for her when there were only two of us I brought her food in pregnancy pills to make sure she was okay I started reading books about raising a kid she liked to take pictures of all that stuff and post it online maybe she was really proud of a boyfriend like me eventually I started to realize that this kid deserves a perfect family so I decided to propose to Jenny sure we might not get married for a while but an engagement would at least make things more real I bought the ring and arranged everything I chose her favorite restaurant and just before dessert I got down on one knee and said I know we're moving fast and you might not be ready but I love you and I want our baby to have the best life I'll always take care of you both and can't wait to spend my life with you will you marry me I waited and Jenny looked shocked then suddenly she asked me to stand up and looked so embarrassed then she said um well this is awkward I couldn't believe it I asked her why and she said well I'm not actually pregnant so I'm sorry you kind of broke up with your girlfriend for no reason I didn't understand I said in shock but the test the test was POS positive and Jenny said oh man I was going to tell you sooner or later actually the test wasn't even mine I borrowed it from a pregnant woman I just wanted to get my own back on Max and prove to him that other guys also want me and that I can live without him oh my God was she for real I couldn't believe it so I said to her so you used me then she almost laughed and said well duh I mean get real we barely know each other why would we get married yeah well done you got me I bitterly said thanks Jenny replied with a blank face then she just got up and left I felt sick turned out Jenny was just a liar she done all this just to get back to her ex she played me like a fool and I'd fallen for it poor Stella how could I have treated her like that and that's when I realized I deserved it I treated Stella so badly and now Jenny had done the same thing to me Stella had always been there for me she was the sweetest girl ever and my stupid wandering eyes had led me to Jenny well it served me right but I had to apologize to Stella even if she didn't forgive me I couldn't live with myself knowing how much I'd messed up so it's true what they say you reap what you sow I certainly learned that the hard way and I can't blame anyone but myself lesson well and truly learned you are watching the incredible berries blue I'm Sonia the super talented lead vocalist and that guy over there rocking the guitar is Eric my boyfriend he's also our composer and backing vocalist yep my man's good at everything just like me actually he's the one who discovered my vocal talent and helped me on my road to fame our debut album exploded onto the charts and the rest is history Eric asked me to be his girlfriend right on stage after our set I don't know who was more excited me or my adoring fans everything was perfect and then our next album flopped I guess all that pressure had interrupted Eric's writing process I tried to send him positive energy we had a big show coming up to debut our new single and start our comeback who knows when the sun will rise again right but during our performance as Eric stepped back to give me the spotlight I stepped forward and suddenly slipped and fell Sonia your nose it's crooked I was rushed into surgery but my nose looked like a lightning bolt I can't look like this I must be beautiful you'll always be the cutest girl to me no need to worry we can still fix it but right after that the photo of my busted nose hit the headlines I got ridiculed for praising natural beauty and then getting plastic surgery what vultures I had to upload the video of me slipping to end these rumors but they claimed I did it on purpose to get attention what on Earth we thought all that drama was finally over but no right when my nose healed my chubby prepuberty secondary school photo appeared all over the Internet which sparked rumors about me having my whole body reconstructed some Anonymous posts even made up that I was hot-tempered and snoody to band crew and waiting staff I mean maybe I could be a bit abrupt but I was famous so I was allowed to get what I wanted then let's cancel Sonia began to circulate do these tragic people have nothing better to do than gossip about me but my fans took notice and a load of our tour tickets got cancelled my manager freaked out and made me go on leave until the rumors died down how ridiculous we still they were actually going to try to replace me the beautiful one-of-a-kind lead vocalist how dare they do this to me I am the ban hang in there babe I promise I'll find a way to get you back obviously my photos didn't leak themselves some jerk did this and it's now my life mission to track them down and make them pay okay so from my internet searching I traced the original rumor to this group of my anti fans can you believe they actually met up at this Cafe once a month just to badmouth me they even had a schedule how ridiculous what had I ever done to them disguising myself I showed up to find out more clues H inside were those terrible leaked pictures of me jeez these people clearly had way too much time on their hands wait this guy looks familiar is he Owen my high school Crush he was my senior in the music club and a super talented singer guitarist and composer but how come he's my anti-an I never even spoke to him the group buzzed about how pretentious I am they even said Eric and I were fake dating just to cover up the news about our latest album flop obviously our love is real I never Tire of hearing trash talking about that Eric gu songs but it's closing time if you posted about Barry's blue please claim your money from the count before leaving what Owen actually paid them to slander my band why was he so intent on ruining my career did he have a personal Vendetta against me I just had to find my own way to figure all this out making myself one of them should do it I immediately called to apply for the job and I got it Showtime it's important to look the part so I dressed up as this innocent looking girl for my first shift thanks to the magic of makeup even I could hardly recognize myself call me Summer from now on after the introduction Owen immediately gave me tons of work I had to do the heavy lifting and stinky Dirty Work I was a Pampered star not a grunt G he's such an exploitive boss I must have been crazy to have ever crushed on him in the evening the anti-fan group showed up again followed by a familiar face it's Reena Owen's little sister back in high school she was quite arrogant it seemed like nothing had changed did you know that Sonia was such a weirdo in high school now that she's famous she's acting like she's above everyone else stop right there carrot hair what's your name um I'm summer so summer here we've got a special requirement for every newbie you have to pass the anti-fan test tell us what do you think is the most irritating thing about Sonia now I have to defame myself actually I was Sonia's childhood friend well just a neighbor she was the worst kid in the neighborhood what did Sonia look like when she was young and how was her personality she was chubby and cruel to other kids she threw bugs at them and never shared her toys take notes guys remember to cite the source as Sonia's close neighbor you can get some bonus too for contributing useful information like this was Reena also involved in this along with her brother when Reena left the other anti-fans Caleb Violet and June still didn't leave but turned to the stage and started tuning the instruments what they composed a whole song to mock me not only about my surgery rumors but also that I was a vain hot-tempered competitive talentless disrespectful and never used my abundant money to help others her music was good but the insolence killed their skills I'm curious why do people hate Sonia that much she's rude and her music sucks yeah her natural voice is good but it doesn't have any emotions she probably doesn't know anything about love and doesn't have any friends either those comments from the anti fans got me thinking I suppose I do find it hard to open up to people and I can be a bit hotheaded sometimes but am I really that unlikable H not the nose again please huh Owen first you break the cups now you're wasting Sugar Sugar seriously aren't you even going to ask if I'm hurt if I leave here with just a scratch this place will be finished you know this place was fine until you showed up at least summer you should learn how to apologize and thank suddenly the anti-fans words echoed in my head as summer Owen still saw how much of a diva I was that means as Sonia I must have been so despicable um I'm sorry I should have thanked you for helping me H that's okay I'm glad you're not hurt don't forget reena's reward at the counter take it before you go why do you have to pay others to badmouth Sonia I'm only going along with all this for my sister but it brings more customers in so whatever so the person behind this is Reena I don't think so someone must be pulling her strings but who I don't know why are you so concerned summer I was just curious I used to think badly about Owen but beneath his cold friend he's kind of sweet and caring just like years ago I was trying to escape the rain and bumped into him he saved me from falling didn't care how sweaty I was and even gave me his umbrella but in front of my crush I was too shy and embarrassed to say anything and hurried off since then I didn't feel so uncomfortable hearing the anti fans slate me and our band's decline it was almost all true anyway at least this way I could learn from my past mistakes and become a way better person flowers grow in the strangest of places right yeah these anti-fans actually became my friends playing with them was way more fun than with the berries somehow okay guys you need to share your music with the world so I signed up our budding band for a local music competition wh what but we're not professionals do you really think we can win who cares I always wanted to perform on a big stage but what are we going to play use one of my songs if you want I hear the payout is pretty good ooh I love your songs we practiced together every night and everyone was so focused on this they didn't post bad rumors about me anymore Owen is truly a genius listening to him playing his intros always gave me goosebumps and so the image of a cute talented Owen reappeared in my mind oh no wake up Sonia you already have a boyfriend Eric speaking of Eric he's been ignoring all of my calls I get it he's busy rehearsing for the show but didn't he promise to find a way to bring me back oh I see you're too busy playing bands to post anything we have a show this weekend you started this didn't you summer I knew you were trouble from the beginning get out of here I'm on her side are you going to kick me out too don't you see I'm doing this for you did you forget that Eric stole your songs and used them for his debut album Reena don't you think I already know what you're up to you and that Eric guy are seeing each other right doesn't he want you to spread rumors so he can replace Sonia his current girlfriend he says if I succeed her place in the band will be mine an affair is one thing but he can't help you shine with that tuneless music that's why I need your songs Owen just give me a few and everything will go smoothly at that moment it all became clear the only album that made a name for the berries was actually stolen and worse still the person behind my plummeting career was my own boyfriend that jerk Eric craves Fame and would never let himself get caught up in a love triangle Scandal you know how important public opinion is to him he's using you and as soon as you give him what he wants he'll drop you without a thought I'm not that easily replaceable what do you mean summer I'm sorry for lying about who I really am but not everything is fake I wish you could feel it pass my words to him I'm out and you Reena that jerk doesn't deserve any of our love or trust even if I didn't want to go back to being the famous Sonia I couldn't continue to be the Carefree summer either I didn't realize they were there they must have heard everything you're Sonia not summer all this time you lied to us I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt you or trick you your words made me want to change myself for the better and your music taught and inspired me a lot Caleb by Violet June I just want to be friends with you who wants to be your friend you liar I may have found out the truth about myself and Eric but now I've lost my career my friends my boss everything I made such a mess of everything and I didn't know how to fix it I don't deserve to be Sonia or even summer it must be a delivery guy I barely had the energy to get up and open the door standing in front of me was Owen did he come all the way here just to see me some Sonia I've been thinking a lot about your band and Eric and I realized that this isn't your fault you can't let Eric win you're too talented for that if you show everyone your true self I just know they'll love you actually there's one thing I want to confess to you I used to have a crush on you in high school but you probably didn't even know I existed really that's so dumb what do you mean actually at that time I liked you too you were so cute and shy with that beautiful voice but when I came closer to talk to you you just ran away if I had been more confident and braver maybe we could have become something different what about now I mean do you still want to sing my song it'll be an honor your song is always special Owen pulled me to the competition and Tenderly strapped the base on for me going out there without the rest of the band seemed terrifying but we couldn't give up Owen was about to Lead Me On Stage when Reena rushed over to us and grabbed my arm Sonia I messed up it's true that Eric was using me and I had been so blind to trust him that much I've corrected the misinformation about you I was hugging her when the rest of the anti-fans appeared I apologized to them how I was now a better version of myself because of them turns out we really like summer so we forgive you now we're ready to rock the night you can't sing with them Sonia that song is supposed to be the theme song in our next album Eric it's Owen's song not yours and didn't Reena tell you that I no longer give a damn about your band I did seems he wasn't listening we've published your dirty plan all over the forums so everyone can see what a jerk you are no you have to come with me tell them you made it all up leave her alone I won't let you take anything from me again my song or my girl she's our friend now so excuse us we need to get on stage and perform our song I can't believe I'm back on stage again only this time it's so much better my band mates are awesome the song is amazing and the crowd is going wild I saw Eric shamefully disappear through the crowd tough luck that's what being a big slimy liar gets you toward the end of the song Owen pulled me close to him and the crowd went silent all I could hear was the beating of my heart when he gave me the best kiss ever I was skipping to the kitchen to see the Apple bag dad had prepared for my school picnic a how thoughtful of him I excitedly took a bite but it tasted like it had been left to rot for a decade I frantically checked the bag and saw this was not the only bad one Dad hey I'm darus and things like this are an everyday occurrence for me my dad's clumsy and color blind two contributing factors that sure make life interesting since mom passed away I had to watch him like a hawk else you bet you he'd mess stuff up one time he roasted a turkey but it was so raw as if it would jump off the plate and run around the house and on my last birthday he got me a pair of mittens with one bright orange and one neon green I reluctantly tried them on looking like a clown while people burst out laughing despite all that he's still an awesome dad in my eyes a super talented artist with Incredible artwork provided he lets me label the paint colors and also a really big supporter of my dream from the first time he helped me skate on the lake I knew it was my life's calling if I can be an artist even though I'm colorblind how can just a few you bumps stop you from being a figure skater Bravo I'll definitely give him a 100 except that he does have one bunkers rule no dating until I'm 18 whatever it's not like I gave boys much thought the only boy I spoke to was my neighbor Ben and Dad seemed to like him that kid's pretty good he likes drawing and artists are carrying people just like me Andy seems not attracted to girls either I'm not sure about that but it's true that we can never be a couple his mushy manner is definitely not my type anyway it's super fun having him as a friend since we were little Ben always went along with anything I asked from drawing me a unicorn picture from my room giving me his only ice pop to more exciting things such as knocks and runs and covering the neighbor's car in toilet paper and now he always escorts me to my skating practice a few towns away and just sits there scribbling something until I finish this whole month I've been practicing so hard for the upcoming Big competition in town I'm going to bring a metal home this is my time to shine I started gliding letting the Rhythm control my movement the cold calming Breeze pushed against me like I was flying it's time for an axle jump I sprang into the air like a cotton ball but suddenly lost my balance and fell flat on my face as a result I was ranked 29 out of 30 duh but surprisingly there was one judge giving me all high marks finally someone saw my potential I was beaming when this cute guy approached me hi I'm Luke just wanted to say that you were absolutely on point out there oh he's that guy I really want to get to know you more how about we hang out together I'll take you somewhere as special as you are to me this is definitely against dad's rule but oh boy his killer smile made my stomach swoosh so I ended up saying yes I excitedly told Ben but he gave me this sour face look hey your dad will not be happy if he knows this just don't let him know Luke is an expert so we can help me hone in on my talent you will keep this a secret won't you so here's my first date ever Luke was so sweet he complimented my ice skating and constantly gave me these loving looks our food arrived and delish bone Appetit I daintily tried the mashed potato and immediately felt the delicious Taste of warm butter and chives and something pointy a hair pin I quickly stood up demanding to see the manager but Luke stopped me babe you found the gift I prepared for you then he grabbed the hair pin and wiped it on his shirt and put it on my hair maybe this was a normal thing for guys to do on dates right only his gifts show didn't stop there later I found a ring in my steak then a keychain in my salad you're cute just like this loto isn't he the bad guy but the cherries on top were the movie tickets in my sandwich Luke what's this about I just hope we could bond over watching movies together you hate it that much no no I didn't mean that think about it it it was kind of weird but also the sweetest thing that had ever happened to me Luke had a funny way of showing it but he made me feel special and Giddy and maybe in love before I could think straight he was leaning closer to me I closed my eyes and was ready for the most romantic kiss ever but why were his lips so hard and unmoving what the menu and holding it was Dad you know this crazy old man I am her father then Dad dragged an extra chair over to our table flopped down and started babbling on then when Luke wasn't looking dad poured pepper into his coffee before I could see anything poor Luke took a sip and spot it out everywhere sorry I thought it was sugar you see I'm color blind so it was an honest mistake after that he accidentally splashed the sauce on Luke's shirt then grabbed his glass of red wine and poured it over Luke saying he was trying to clean it enough your old man isn't no one will ever date you again then he stormed away I was Furious how could dad embarrass me like this you're controlling crazy and do the stupidest things you don't allow me to be me and you just scared away my date none of his apologies could move me I had the right to make my own choices without dad interrupting and being ridiculous so I used my savings and moved out of my home to start my new life this Freedom was greater than great I could talk to any guy and go on as many dates as I wanted only I know there's always were extra eyes on me do you get the feeling someone's watching us no way it's just you and me I've had a great time do you want to do it again what the fudge if Dad thinks he can stop me by messing around like this he's totally wrong it did quite the opposite instead I started dating loads of guys even if I didn't like them that much it was so nice being spoiled by boys and my room was always full of their presents I updated Ben all about my dating stories but he just frowned yo slow down you want to speed date the entire town man it's just dating it's not like I've agreed to be their girlfriend or anything but you don't even know them or what their intentions are my dad doesn't understand me why now you sound just like him fine don't feel like you need to come here or give me rides or anything I can make my own way to school and get my date to come with me to practice from tomorrow I'm sorry darus ignore me I'm probably just overthinking stuff yeah Ben's Ben he's still the one I could count on after all anyway being a Serial dater can cause troubles I muddled up Gregory's interest with Ivans and I forgot I already told Anton my hilarious Story the third time already I was late for my date with Hector cuz my previous shift with Ryan went on longer than I expected Ben being so exhausted from all of this dating I fell asleep during my meal with Christian luckily for me Ben was always there to help what's up you look exhausted I don't know dating was fun at first but now it left me no time to rest and now I can't even distinguish those guys hey what's so funny nothing it's just nice not having to share you with an alphabet of guys don't worry you're the only bee in my life one day after school a group of boys surrounded me and started accusing me of being a cheater hey it wasn't like I was anyone's girlfriend so it wasn't classed as cheating I'm still single so I can go on many dates as I can only my Outburst seemed to make them even angrier as all these guys shouted at me a cop locked over hang on is that Dad Dad hey hey you boys stop bothering this young lady right now I just finished a karate cost already I'll give you a piece of my mind see ha H what a bunch of weirdos thank god dad came here on time to save me but it's such a shame that he saw I was a helpless failure at everything so my shame became rage who asked you to show up and make aene quit bugging me with all your nonsense I can handle this myself when I returned to my apartment Ben was sitting there waiting for me overwhelmed with everything I burst into tears he pulled me into an Embrace and I instantly felt better but then darus stop with the games and just go home games this isn't a game this is my life I deserve to live it how I want to you're too much of a coward to ever understand that as soon as I said it I regretted it then looked so hurt and mad he just shook his head and left I honestly thought he was the one person who would never leave but whatever I didn't need him or dad either now I had to prove to Dad that I was mature enough to handle Independence and could find someone much better than and bent beside me just wait and see told you now God bless me with this guy Mark a super strong and Mach OPF who was always ready to protect me babe look out what just let me handle this then he moved me out of the way and punched right to the wall wow that's a mosquito thank you for saving me one time we were strolling through the school's Garden when I spotted then I immediately gave Mark a cute damsel and distress look and said babe I'm so tired I think I'm going to pass out don't worry I'll take you to the hospital suddenly he lifted me over his shoulders and carried me off my head was spinning and it made me want to faint literally I begged him to put me down and let me sit for a while then I suddenly saw Ben frowning at me huh seeing me totally fine without him how can he not be annoyed but who was that she started staring at his art passionately then can you believe it she asked him to draw her and he agreed I can't stay here watching this ridiculous play so I grabbed Mark's hand and pulled him away but that night I kept tossing and turning and the image of Ben and that girl couldn't get out of my head no no no big deal they were just super irritating that's all too many things happened and now it's time for me to focus on my figure skating dreams again with my sugar plum as he went off to buy us some drinks who should come over to me but my first date disaster Luke oh you're still ice skating just give up already I only gave you a high score so you date me don't flatter yourself by the way your crazy old man still doing good shut up my dad was right about you you jerk jerk okay this jerk will tell the rink manager to ban you from coming here for good I stared at him open mouth not knowing what to say went out of nowhere Ben appeared I don't think the skating committee would be impressed by your fake scores do you all it would take is one email and you can kiss your position on the judging panel goodbye how dare you then he left in Anger right at that moment Mark returned babe skating sucks just quit it let's go for some trampoline then dar go practice no one dares to ban you now who the freak are you Mark stop that's Ben my friend uh no just an acquaintance darus watch yourself with that guy it's none of your business let's go Mark bye loser the next day at school I saw Ben with that girl again my heart thumped in sadness and I don't even know why maybe I was so used to having Ben around me and honestly I missed him a lot Mark soon followed my gaze over to Ben isn't that the dude from the ice rink why you gopping at him he was lunging toward Ben right after I grabbed his arm trying to stop him but he pulled me away instead to a corner you are my girl remember that in front of me was a total stranger not the normal Mark I know he was supposed to protect me but now all I felt was scared I couldn't move Mark leaned over to kiss me and I immediately blocked him what how dare you oh no I'm screwed ah terrorizing your own girlfriend I see nice Ben right on time you're so done with me then Mark grabbed a flower pot and charged at Ben but I panicked pushed him over before he could do anything with it he stumbled about mumbling something when Ben's fist came out of nowhere you you you want another punch Mark waved his fist at him but then turned around and hurried off I stared at Ben I couldn't believe my eyes he was strong and protective totally different from the soft Ben I knew all this time darus I think it's time for you to go home have you ever wondered why your dad really did that I I Ben was right and the day's drama made me realize how much I missed dad I wonder how he was doing I arrived back to find Dad sitting all alone dozing off amid a pile of mass he was in stained clothes and on the easel was an unfinished picture of me with tear stained eyes I ran to him and held him tight I'm so sorry for leaving I thought I would be okay by myself but I'm definitely not I miss you you're back I miss you too darling I felt so bad for setting Dad when I calm down we talk through our problems sweetie I know it's just hard you're all I have left I just worry you're too young to make the right decision and can't bear seeing these idiots hurt you but Dad I need experience to learn and grow too support me will you um of course I always wish you can find a kind man who understands supports you and is always by your side and makes you truly happy all those qualities reminded me of someone I kept chasing after trivial things out there thus forgetting the one who was standing by me all the time so I immediately went to find him hey Ben oh hey you'll be pleased to know I've moved back in with Dad yeah that is good news look Ben I'm sorry I've been an idiot I took you for granted and now I feel very bad for this I um was wondering if you'll take me to practice tomorrow I'll think about it and I didn't expect to see you confronting a tough guy like Mark you're not just a timid Arty type are you who says I'm timid I'm only like that when I'm with with you cuz it makes you happy I'm actually fully capable of looking after myself and um you Jaden was taken aback for a second then calmly said you're right sorry I'll back off being the Third Wheel all this time hasn't gotten me any info on Mike's dad anyway he really was laying low and maybe Mike didn't even know anything about what his father was doing the FBI might need to find another way to approach this investigation little did Jaden know Jasmine had become an unexpected factor in his investigation plan after that time Jasmine and Mike had private dates just the two of them but they left Jasmine feeling more and more distant from him uh why does this wig have to be so long and these freaking shoes why do girls want to torture themselves with these things Jasmine thought about the last time she was with Jaden how she could just remove the stupid heels and enjoy being carried by him but of course that could never happen in front of Mike Jaden has tapped his promise and leaves us to alone but why do I feel like something is missing you look really beautiful today that necklace is divine uh yeah I got it from my dad's antique cabinet this morning guess it once belonged to some ancient Egyptian queen my dad has a bunch of these oh really how come well he developed a very deep passion for collecting Antiques and has filled our whole house with all kinds of stuff mhm interesting just then Mike knew exactly what to do with Rich and naive Jasmine while she still looked totally oblivious to it that night Jasmine struggled to fall asleep she wondered how Jaden could just disappear into thin air like that fine don't let me see you again I'll make you watch me eat 10 buckets of fried chicken and then force you to run 10 laps while caring me Jasmine didn't realize however that behind her inexplicable frustration toward Jaden she actually missed him the next day as soon as Jasmine arrived at school Mike approached her urgently have I mention that I'm turning 16 this weekend no you haven't any special plans for your big day then yes actually that's why I came to find you I wanted to make sure you had enough time to put together the most stunning outfit cuz I'd like you to meet my father there you must make a good impression on him um wow I'm going to need to think about it okay after that Jasmine looked everywhere for Jaden but couldn't find any trace of him Jaden where on earth have you been that evening while while Jaden was discussing the current situation with his partner he was surprised to see Jasmine's figure at the door how did she find her way here how dare you go awall for the past few days do you realize how many excuses I needed to give the student supervisor just to get your address then Jasmine began to tell Jaden about her latest date with Mike how she felt that Mike was not the right match for her and that Mike wanted to introduce her to his father at Mike's birthday party I think I need to break things off before any family gets involved however after the FBI team hit a dead end because they couldn't get any intel Jaden realized this party was a once- in a-lifetime opportunity for them to catch the thief wait you can't give up so soon you are so determined to win Mike over before don't just dump him over cold feet at least wait until after the party to make your decision yeah you're right I'll go to the party after that Jasmine left she was trying not to feel the sadness Building inside her but the night that she and Jaden nearly kissed played on repeat in her head would things be different if I just confess my feelings to Jaden I should let him know how I feel about him so Jasmine headed back to Jaden's place when she was almost there she saw him seeing someone off huh there was another person at his house why didn't I see him just then Jasmine quickly hit behind a wall out of sight that party is surely our golden ticket and we thought you going undercover as Jaden and giving that dude a makeover was all in vain he's a she and her name is Jasmine oh did someone one catch feelings don't forget that you're an FBI agent James Jaden that is Jasmine couldn't believe what she just heard and saw when the man left she stormed right over to Jaden when were you going to tell me about your double life James I wish I could tell you everything but I really can't but I won't deny what you did here I'm an FBI agent and I've been under cover as a high school student to to follow Mike Jasmine please listen to me I'll tell you everything when the the right time comes so I was just a tool that you use to get closer to Mike and since that didn't work you're done with me no that's not and why Mike what do you need from him I can't tell you anything else right now but please just be careful around him okay he's not as nice as he tries to seem I'm going to send FBI agents to keep an eye on you at the party no you will not you won't do anything because you and the FBI are going to leave me alone Jasmine please as much as it hurt to look at him again Jasmine turned back around my friends call me Gucci but I guess you wouldn't know while Jasmine was still mad at Jaden she couldn't help questioning why the FBI had to send people to follow Mike suddenly she remembered the overheard conversation that party was surely our golden ticket and we thought you going undercover as Jaden and giving that dude a makeover was all in vain maybe I could find the answer at Mike's birthday party in the following days Jaden relentlessly tried in every way to make amends with Jasmine he messaged her on every social platform from Facebook to Instagram to Twitter and she blocked him on each one he flew paper planes that read I'm sorry into Jasmine's room but she just stared coldly at him through the window while tearing the planes all up and throwing them in the trash One Morning Jasmine woke up and even found a dove delivering Jaden's apology letter but she completely ignored it still Mike's birthday party finally came why do I feel so unsettled maybe it was because of Gary's hamburger this afternoon meanwhile Mike was also lost in his own thoughts will Dad be able to get on with the plan I wonder what disguise he'll show up in right then Tiffany approached them Mike I have a present for you Mike opened the envelope to find a pictures of Jasmine from when she was a tomboy I just wanted to remind you of the person you're really dating I don't care about who she was before because I love who she is now my amazing girlfriend Jasmine felt partly appreciative of Mike's feelings for her her but she was also exhausted from the pressure of trying to be someone she wasn't if only you knew that this isn't the real me as they walked away Mike leaned in close and whispered in Jasmine's ear let's go meet my dad privately Jasmine followed Mike to the rooftop but she saw nobody when they got there where is he just be patient he always shows up on time at that moment a kind looking old man appeared Jasmine looked around in confusion wondering where he had come from before she could introduce her self he started to speak so you must be the lovely Jasmine Mike has told me so much about you I heard your father is a famous collector of Antiquities yes you know my dad I know he has something that's truly coveted Jasmine had no idea what he was talking about she turned to Mike and saw him mouthing it's you come here girl I have a gift for you a diamond ring that's perfect for your delicate hands Jasmine hesitated but somehow she found herself slowly reaching out her hand just before her hand could reach his there was a rustling sound rat suddenly there was a loud explosion and smoke filled the air Jasmine fell to the ground unconscious Jaden rushed in and saw Mike's father disappear into the smoke as they fled his head told him to chase them but seeing Jasmine lying on the ground he immediately ran to Jasmine and carried her out of there Jasmine woke up and saw her dad and three brothers an iously standing around through their accounts she knew that an anonymous message had been sent to her father last night demanding he hand over a precious necklace in exchange for Jasmine the police confirmed that the sender of that threatening message is a career Thief but I wonder how he knew our family had that necklace Jasmine recalled wearing that necklace to see Mike and revealing to him that her dad was an antique collector could that very Thief be remember he's been doing this for a long time they call him the Phantom Thief sure he has a talent for sniffing out valuable items and evading the police unfortunately it's the same this time actually that young police officer could have caught him but he chose to save your sister our family owes him big time is that young police officer Jaden later Jaden came to visit Jasmine at the hospital can you tell me the truth now is the FBI chasing a career criminal who is none other than Mike's dad you're right because he works in mysterious ways I had to approach him through his son Mike so why didn't you arrest him when you had the chance weren't you just waiting for that moment because because you were in danger at that moment I could only think about getting to you all right I'll give you that one can you tell me what you found out maybe I can help then Jaden told Jasmine that through spying on Mike he discovered that Mike was his father's informant Mike would scour rich girls then point out the targets to his father who'd steal their valuables that's why Mike had targeted Tiffany before but as soon as he learned she was a fake rich girl and Jasmine was the real deal he switched his Focus to Jasmine I am so sorry I kept the truth from you for so long I really care about you and I was trying to keep you from getting hurt and you did anyway I'm sorry I hope you can forgive me you did save my life after all I think we can call it Square so what's our next move then I really don't know I might have an idea elsewhere Mike and his dad were scheming I didn't expect that Jaden to be in the FBI don't worry I know how to deal with him the next day reports of an antique auction flooded the news uh once in A- lifetime exhibition all from one man's private collection will be auctioned to the highest bidder The Collection includes Antiquities from all over the world including a necklace that to belong to Cleopatra its estimated value is over100 billion the streets were also plastered with Billboards and Banners about that auction in the evening of the AU ction all VIPs of the upper class gathered in the hotel's main lobby to prepare for the big event in addition hundreds of security guards and police officers were hired to guard the auction jewelry 24/7 before the start of the auction Jasmine's dad gave a welcome speech to all the guest ladies and gentlemen I am honored to welcome you all to today's event as you know I collect antiques as a hobby so to share some of the joy this collection has brought me the profits from today's auction will be donated to the orphanage sir is it true that c necklace will also be auctioned today that's right however it's not here it's currently being kept in a very secure place that even a mosquito couldn't get through and will be presented during the final round aren't you afraid that the Phantom Thief Master of Disguise will steal it well he can certainly try me the whole crowd burst into laughter without knowing from a corner An Elegant lady was watching them all with a smirk on her face at 9:00 sharp while the sounds of the auction echoed through the hotel tells Halls someone in a black shirt and wearing a backpack appeared at the door trying to put a key in the lock freeze hands over your head busted you Thief I'm I I'm not in the lobby chaos AR rained after it became known that the Phantom Thief had approached the treasure Jasmine was extremely nervous too before long a police officer went onto the stage please don't worry the thief was apprehended by the police while trying to open the door the auction will continue as scheduled everyone felt relieved and the room erupted into Applause at that moment the elegant yet mysterious lady walked toward the elevator quietly heading to the penthouse she then swiftly snuck into the room and retrieved the necklace with ease those stupid cops must be bringing that fool down to the station right now she then put the box into her bag and left the room suddenly an old janitor bumped into her I'm I'm terribly sorry Miss the elegant lady grumbled then used the emergency exit to rush up to the Rooftop on the roof a helicopter was already waiting with Mike inside Mike's dad quickly gave him the necklace just when the helicopter took off policemen came rushing to catch him we finally got you you weasel I've still got the necklace I went again you fools Oh you mean this necklace what how could you it turned out that Jaden had swapped a box when they bumped into each other in the hall upon this admission in the helicopter Mike eagerly opened the box which turned out to be just a jumping jack toy no after the police took Mike's dad away jasman and her dad rushed to Jaden thank you so much for saving my daughter and still catching the thief thank you for all your help we couldn't have caught him if you didn't fabricate this event this whole thing was Jasmine's idea and the event itself was fake all the Antiques auction tonight were real and those proceeds will still go to charity we did it you're right we we did it whatever happened with the other Thief who got caught earlier oh he was hired to distract the FBI but we knew from the start he wasn't our Thief luckily the arrest announcement was just the thing we needed to get Mike's dad to make his move and to make him think he was going to get away with it now I just need to know how you switch those boxes so smoothly are you a magician too nope I'm just me the next day Jaden finally had some time alone with Jasmine and it was finally time to tell her the rest of everything it might not be my place to say but I understand how you've been feeling trying to be someone heck it's my job but it's not your job to change to make other people like you the right people are the ones who love you for who you really are people like uh me Jasmine was touched she had so many things she wanted to say but she was simply speechless she turned to Jaden and upon seeing just his side profile she blushed I I are you okay Jasmine was going to respond but she hiccuped again I think I know what to do I raised the bow hyperfocused the target was right in front of me watch me conquer only grandpa that one would have hit the Bull's Eye I'm just teasing you're getting real good pumpkin hi I'm Gina and I love archery my grandfather my only family introduced me to the sport he always encouraged me to join contests saying I had an act for it but competition's not really my thing talking to strangers was enough of a challenge for me but my only friend Bailey is lovely and cheerful we've been close since childhood to the day we came to the city for high school and became roommates my new life promises fun and excitement but I missed my grandpa dearly and wrote to him often dear Grandpa my life here is a wonderful the dorm room is nice clean and tidy and every morning soothing instrumental music from the speaker reminds me of the times we enjoyed music and a tea together on the front porch Bailey turn it down and are you going to do something about your mess jeez it's an organized mess ask me about anything and I can find it immediately by the way there's a welcome party for freshman tonight shall we go nah I'm too tired come on Gina it'll be fun you'll make some new friends too it's just okay stay here then I'm leaving somehow I felt a bit empty I'd never noticed that Bailey and I were so different until recently Bailey's a social butterfly who can make new friends easily and me I was introverted and reserved H I can't keep being this way I came to the city for the experience duh so when Bailey asked me to go to the school's fair I immediately agreed when the day came while Bailey's chatting and giggling with other students I just kind of absent-mindedly faded into the background since Bailey did not seem to notice my absence I decided to look around on my own suddenly a scream startled me thief thief I turned around to see a thief running away with a girl's handbag without thinking I grabbed a set of bow and arrows nearby and shot at him that's when I saw another arrow flying in the same direction both arrows hit the thief right on his head and knocked him to the ground I looked for the other Archer and saw the great god Apollo who's also looking at me then he went to handle the thief as I took the opportunity to quietly leave the scene I was still daydreaming about that guy when Bailey barreled into our dorm with a group of friends I quickly turned myself into a burrito and pretended to be asleep but Bailey ruthlessly unfurled me with a wide grin hey G there's someone I'd like you to meet Samantha head of the squs archery club Bailey told me you're quite an Archer yeah sort of well we're looking for new members you should come by I be sure to stop by thanks after school the next day I visited the archery club and saw a familiar face that's the guy from yesterday o he also blows on the Arrow like grandpa so cute oops busted am I hallucinating or is he walking toward me hi you were at the school Fair your shot was phenomenal I'm Chris by the way I'm G so you're new here actually I'm not sure if I'm going to join yet well how about a little demonstration panicked I tried to shoot with shaky hands and totally botched it sorry relax you got this he leaned over me and my heart was beating like crazy I took a deep breath softly blew it the Fletching and this time I hit the target see amazing shot you should be more confident and open up so more people can get to know you so Chris is into extroverts he's right it must be great being around an outgoing confident girl like Bailey she'd only been here for a week and already knew half of the school and everyone loved her so later that day after struggling with myself I decided to ask Bailey for help how help with what help me be you an extrovert you're fine the way you are why change right then Samantha came to pick her up to go to a birthday party want to join us uh you'd rather stay here and read correct you know me then Bailey left just like that all right if she doesn't want to help I'll do it myself time to break out of my cocoon so I spend the next few hours giving myself a makeover not bad was it when I arrived at the party everyone gawked at me hey hey are you the son cuz your beauty is blinding me if so you should stay 93 million miles away from me as much as I wanted to run straight home a voice in my head kept screaming socialize on the internet they said extroverts are always ready to make friends like Bailey who's part of every single conversation so I mustered all courage to throw myself into the largest group who's talking about cute Arctic animals I remembered a communication tip lead the conversation so I did isn't it so so sad that those animals are losing their habitat to climate change the next 5 minutes was me monologuing about the issue but they didn't seem too interested okay plan B Bailey also always knows how to stand out so when everyone started dancing I stood in the middle of the room and danced my heart out but after that everyone looked at me like I was an alien including Chris when I was finally in my room I felt totally defeated do you seriously want to be an extrovert I need to Bailey if so maybe take it slow and don't push yourself too hard you don't have to become outgoing overnight Bailey clearly didn't believe I could do it fine I'll show her she wasn't the only Charming extrovert here my first order of business was joining the archery club that would be my best chance to impress Chris to make up for the embarrassment at the party I braced myself and approached the most playful guy here hi I'm Gina I like your shirt um thanks I'm Patrick Patrick is the student council president he's here to help promote the archery club then whenever Chris passed by I tried to joke around with Patrick although he seemed distracted but Chris just turned away and looked unhappy Gina what's the deal with you and that Chris guy he keeps looking over here oh Chris he's just a clubmate maybe it's cuz he doesn't like me very much boys thing anyway I'm thinking about joining this club would you teach me sure thing after that Patrick and I often practiced our tree together I got too excited and set the target as far as I could pulled a string with all my might and tried to keep my cool as the arrow hit the bullseye out of nowhere Chris popped out awesome Gina Best Shot I've ever seen impressive Gina want to grab a drink before you teach me how to do that right then Chris offered me a bottle you like apple juice right I saw you only drink that at the party he noticed thank you would you like a ride back later finally a chance to get closer to Chris I'll drive you Gina I'm more familiar with that route I was going to say no but Patrick had already pulled me away why did he ruin my romantic moment maybe he liked me too but I already had my sight set on Chris Chris seemed to care about me but it would take a little more for us to actually be a thing everything was falling into place and I felt like I was becoming more outgoing though sometimes I still took detours or hid in the restroom to avoid small talks things with Chris were going well but the next day I saw Bailey and Chris locking arms and laughing happily on the street are they dating then why did Chris keep my hopes up and act like he cared about me all my efforts for nothing even if I tried to be like Bailey of course Chris would prefer the original I glumly went to my room shortly before Bailey Holly Jolly as usual came back you look awfully happy hot date nope not at all are we having Secrets now of course not anyway what are you up to today beating around the bush huh she's obviously in love with Chris but why keep it a secret just so they could still mess with others feelings after that I refused to talk to Bailey and avoided Chris when whenever he greeted me I'd pretend I didn't see him and if he approached me I'd go to Patrick or ask him to take me home it was Patty but what else could I do in Patrick's car I got Chris's texts he probably just wanted to two time me so I turned off my phone everything okay yeah I'm fine you're not a very good liar but I have just the thing to cheer you up a few minutes later we pulled up to a quiet spot with a stunning view but magnificent as the sunset was I still felt the sadness wash over me want to talk about it and I did I really did it felt good to finally get everything off my chest Patrick listened patiently nodding an understanding when I finished it's already Twilight thank you for listening to my rant sure anytime I want to be there for you Gina and I would never hurt you I know you're into Chris but I really care about you you're a true Hidden Gem and I want to help you be all that you're meant to be I was surprised at that moment Patrick became even more attractive than I'd ever thought thought maybe I could I should be with someone like him and forget about those toxic people so I agreed to date him the following day Patrick already made it public see that's what a decent guy would do he took me to the spa cooked for me and was always so sweet I'd never felt this way for anyone and it actually felt like love however it wasn't always peachy being Patrick's girl he constantly attended tons of events as the student council president and would have me as his plus wife one on those occasions Patrick would talk to everyone while I stood awkwardly I wanted to join but didn't know how all right laughing would totally show that I'm following their conversation but everyone just stared blankly at me what's so funny about my grandma's broken hips oh jeez I wanted to dig myself a hole immediately soon after Patrick told me to utilize my archery skills for a fundraising commercial shoot the pictures went viral and I became popular people wanted to befriend me everywhere I went and was exhausting when I told Patrick he said that's good you'll be the face of this fund which will help a lot of people like catniss everine and the first Rebellion I'm so proud to have you as my girlfriend let's keep this up okay something about that didn't sit well with me but isn't this the life I've always been dreaming of I was so busy with Patrick's plans that I had no time left for myself I even forgot to write to Grandpa and it had been a while since I last went to the archery club Bailey tried to catch up with me but I still ignored her we grew further apart art even though we shared a room the show today was suddenly cancelled so I seized this chance to drop by the archery club I got more comfortable and deliberated with each Arrow I shot I finally felt like myself again when I was done I caught Chris staring at me I was instantly flustered and tried to leave but Chris followed me Gina I don't even recognize you anymore it's like you're trying to be someone you're not are you really happy you're the fake one you like Social Butterflies don't you if I stop trying I'll become invisible again you just don't like Patrick and it bothers you that he's my boyfriend you're right I don't like him but it has nothing to do with this not wanting to hear any more of his lies I just stormed off but as much as I didn't want to believe Chris his words got me thinking I found Bailey waiting for me in our dorm room she looked a bit timid how are things going between you and Patrick everything okay of course you got a problem with us can you come with me after school tomorrow there's something I want to sh you I followed her out of curiosity Bailey led me to the back of the school then told me to hide in a corner and wait then I saw Patrick he wrapped his arm around Bailey who promptly pushed him away come on I know you've got a thing for me Bailey why won't you leave me alone you literally have a girlfriend Gina I made that chick who she is a cash grab to make a quick Buck off of that stupid girl still believes that was actually a fundraiser I could have picked anyone but the fact that it bothers Chris when I'm with her was the icing on on top I can't be with that obnoxious weirdo but you a magnificent work I can't take it anymore and bolted towards Patrick and slapped him right across his smug face you are the biggest jerk I've ever met you're the Biggest Loser I've ever met you have the magnetism of a towel watching you embarrass yourself in front of all my friends is painfully terrible no wonder they Snicker about you behind your back I dashed away in tears as Bailey scolded him she caught up to me shortly after I'm sorry you had to find out this way recently Patrick started flirting with me I couldn't go without showing you his true colors you can say that because everyone loves you even Chris chooses you and I thought I had a chance with him it's so unfair people will never treat introverts like me the way they treat you wait you like Chris having no energy left to be angry I slumped down sobbing listen I'm sorry that I refused to help you become an extrovert the reason is you're already amazing Gina since we were kids I've always admired you you're smart patient and determined what would you believe me if I said I wanted to be more like you but then I realized that introverts and extroverts have their own strengths and we do best when we're ourselves that's why I am who I am and you should be none other than yourself I held back my tears as best as I could and hugged Bailey tightly I'm sorry for misunderstanding you thank you for telling me what I need to hear I returned to my room and saw a letter from Grandpa he asked how I was lately and why I stopped writing to him he knew living in a new environment would be difficult but as long as I understood my own worth I could overcome everything he finished his letter by saying he'll always love me unconditionally tears welled up in my eyes again shortly after Bailey came back all excited I have a surprise for you when we got outside Chris was already waiting I was extremely embarrassed and Confused to see him Gina from the moment we met at the fair I haven't stopped thinking about you I was impressed your archery skills but before I knew it I was Charmed by your intelligence kindness even your shyness aren't you dating Bailey what Chris is my cousin he talks about you all the time I was going to set you TOA but you were already with someone else I couldn't believe my ears and my heart went wild at that moment Bailey received another flury text from Patrick what am I supposed to do with a SLE ball well well well could you believe it Bailey let him hear BL folded for a surprise okay ready for my present Patrick was surely surprised to see me aiming right at him you better come clean about all the cheating you did it wasn't cheating you weren't even my girlfriend loser before he could finish I launched an arrow right above his head lucky for you my aim was just right but who knows a Loser Like Me could have missed Patrick freaked out and literally peed his pants then he confessed all his faults Cypher off public funds love scamming for money which all had been recorded as soon as the video was posted Patrick was boycotted and lost his student council president position he had to switch schools after a week I finally felt confident in myself and won many archery competitions during the holiday I brought Bailey and Chris back home to meet my grandpa and showed him my many trophies remember everyone be the best version of yourself and the right person will love the real you it was the princess fair today at my school each girl would show up with a parent both dressed in Princess costumes my dad and I were anxiously waiting when the teacher finally called our names but when we showed up on stage there was a brief moment of silence then the whole crowd fell into chaos um my dad in a princess dress doesn't seem too friendly huh hi there my name's Pamela are you wondering how we ended up in that situation stay tuned cuz I'm about to tell you the funniest story ever I grew up with two loving parents mom ran a popular Pizzeria in town while Dad was a professional boxer but then mom passed away in an accident while Dad was away on a tournament after that Dad couldn't stop grieving and blamed himself for leaving mom alone so he decided to quit boxing to take care of me and the pizzeria growing up Dad would always make sure I didn't miss out on being a girl but somehow he failed every single time it's a miracle like when he tried to do my ponytail he struggled so much I thought he was boxing with my hair today was just one of dad's failed attempts after the show we were heading out when we came across Mr Rocky dad's former competitor oh isn't it Mr Barkley our boxing champ hi Rocky we couldn't believe it when you left the ring you were a legend Barkley but I guess family first right once a famous boxer now a princess dad oh by the way this is my son he's going to be following in my footsteps Warrior blood runs in the family you know hope it doesn't run in the family to be a jerk like you when we were home I saw Dad ruminating probably thinking about the encounter with Rocky so I lied to him Dad I know you've been doing this for me but all these girly things are not for me anyway instead Could you teach me boxing I want to be a boxer like you honest to God I still love being girly and all but just seeing how happy he was I knew I had made the right choice from then on I grew up helping Dad run the Pizzeria and learn boxing with him eventually dad got more students Carson is the oldest and dad's favorite he also came to live with us and help with the restaurant business soon started picking up thanks to my boxing Bros the customers especially females Lov them soon we became the hottest Pizzeria in town one time while running errands for the restaurant we heard an old lady yelling at someone you're stealing my cookies young man but the guy just walked away leaving the Hopeless lady behind the audacity of him I immediately charged at him and tackled him to the ground didn't you hear you Thief return her cookies now hey stop it's a misunderstanding I saw her putting the cookies in her bag already the old lady immediately checked her bag and her cookies were indeed inside I awkwardly released the guy and once he turned around I was shocked he looks like an angel walking on Earth even with that annoyed look he was throwing at me is this love at first sight on my way home I couldn't stop dreaming about him when suddenly I noticed a moving truck parked at the building next door and right there was him he was sweating profoundly then suddenly took off his shirt revealing his six pack waa it's my lucky day later I asked around and learned that his name is Denzel and he just moved here with his mother Michelle from then on I couldn't focus on anything else as pretty boy Denzel and his Heavenly ABS kept running through my head hey what's up what's wrong with you oops sorry it's just that I think I have a major crush on our new neighbor denel what for real yeah but I don't know what to do got any advice H I got plenty but oh come on I'll do anything please okay okay now listen carefully according to Carson the best way to show my charm is by flexing my muscles so I set up this new punching bag right in front of the house waited for him to show up and used all my might to pound on the thing but Denzel was so unimpressed he just coldly tossed the garbage then slammed the door shut later I waited till Denzel appeared by his window then started lifting my desk up with one hand to impress him evening yoga he looked at me as if I was some circus clown and shut the blinds bummed out the next day I went to talk to Carson nothing I try works he just doesn't care you sure it worked every time I wanted to get girls but I'm a girl you're messing with me aren't you gotcha but what's so interesting about him anyway you could be with me instead I can treat you better Pam you're just like a brother to me Carson thanks for your help by the way so much for counting on him but that's not all the next day I already caught sight of Carson and the Gang cornering Denzel I immediately dashed in to protect him r we're not doing anything it's just that Denzel wanted this bag for his mommy but I wanted it for you how about a fist fight to settle this whoever wins gets it only fair right I got dibs on it so I see no reason to fight but if you insist you can have it stop pretending to be so generous just say you're scared wimp I don't like fighting then he calmly walked away I caught up with him around the corner hey don't worry I got your back Carson wouldn't be able to touch you no need you don't think I can protect you I'm a boxer just so you know you know what I hate the most in this world boxers and by the way could you move your punching bag elsewhere it frustrates me every time I see it so all my efforts to charm him are for nothing and what does he have against boxing anyway the next couple days I arrived home from school to see what seemed like a heated argument between dad and Denzel's mom Michelle I came to ask what was happening and turned out Michelle just just opened up a new Pizzeria right around the corner for my fames now she's officially competing with us I lost my job in the city and making pizza is the only job I've ever had but why in this town why so close to our restaurant we actually inherited the land from Denzel's grandmother and I can't afford to move anywhere else but trust me I didn't mean to compete with your dad I see why don't you come over for cookies Denzel told me you're in the same class with him right Denzel mentioned me h sure feels awkward with Michelle but if I could be close to Denzel again why not once inside I was immediately impressed with a house taken care of by a woman's hand it's a small space but felt so cozy everything was so organized and look at all these high heels wow Pamela I just noticed your hair is so beautiful can I style it really please do dad used to make me wear a beanie all the time because he always messed up my hair it feels so nice being a girl again I got home thinking Michelle was pretty nice and she reminded me of Mom so I explained to dad trying to calm him down but once Carson whispered something to him he immediately decided to declare war on Michelle ironically Michelle's Pizzeria soon attracted all the customers since Denzel in a waiter outfit is on the next level Carson and dad were Furious and they decided to pull pranks on them starting with the restaurant sign then they spread rumors online that Michelle didn't wash her hands after using the bathroom and went straight into kneading the dough curs even planned with Dad to sneak a rat into Michelle's Pizzeria to scare the customers away but I informed her just in time so she successfully avoided harm meanwhile the more I hung out with Michelle the closer we got we went shopping together recreated all my favorite dishes mom used to make and she even taught me how to do makeup Pamela is so pretty right denzo was I hallucinating or did he just blush one day I came over to Michelle's restaurant after class but it wasn't as busy as usual and Michelle seemed so depressed so someone pretended to be me and posted nasty reviews online for your dad's restaurant and towns people thought it was me they decided to cancel on me and call me out for using unfair practices but I swear I had nothing to do with it feeling uneasy I ran home to confront dad but when I arrived I saw a sprinting figure in Black running away from Carson and Dad you Thief stop right there suddenly Denzel appeared where the thief was heading he immediately held Denzel hostage take him down but denel just stood there Frozen in right then a motorbike rushed over the thief quickly pushed Denzel away jumped onto the bike and got away I rushed to check on Denzel but he seemed annoyed and left we could have captured the thief what a coward Denzel froze at those words but then let go and walked away later I was glad to know the thief didn't steal anything from my house but Carson started trash talking Denzel again Mr Berkeley I think Denzel was behind the theft that was probably why you let them go quit it already why do you have to be so suspicious and hateful oh yeah what about you have fun snitching on our plan to Michelle what you've been telling them our plans I did so what since when did you become so petty dad and the whole fake review Kur fuffle it was you who pretended to be Michelle and gave our restaurant bad reviews so she got cancelled right Dad didn't say a word when Carson jumped in you got any proof just as I thought well you were hanging out with those suckers Mr Barkley and I did some digging and found out Denzel was Rocky son his worst enemy huh can't imagine the boxer son being such a wimp stop calling him a wimp that's enough Pamela you have one choice stop hanging out with Michelle and that Wimpy Kid I will never accept that kind of man too frustrated I just stormed out of there and went straight to Michelle's I then unloaded everything to her and she invited me to stay over till Dad calmed down thinking about what Carson said earlier I asked so is Denzel's dad Mr Rocky the boxer yes he is but we got divorced a long time ago Denzel's been staying with me since it suddenly turned awkward and heavy Denzel just stood up and left it's just that Denzel doesn't like talking about his dad anyway I'm going to head to bed make yourself at home okay I then joined Denzel when he suddenly spoke up you know why I didn't fight back that day with Carson at the mall or even today you probably think I'm a coward too no that's not what I think of you when I was a kid I used to admire him and even dreamed of becoming a boxer just like him but then that same man outside the boxing ring became a monster to my mom I put him up on a pedestal but he made our life miserable so I swore to myself to never use violence and stopped boxing so that was why he thought the sport itself made people become violent surprisingly after the roof talk Denzel seemed less distant and even waited for me after class it was still a little awkward but just being this close to him was enough to make my heart join Formula 1 however Carson wouldn't stop being an annoying third wheel Legend Legend the Third Wheel Legend always in the way he followed us everywhere and people started calling us the Three Musketeers meanwhile the pranks from Carson and dad were getting more and more serious Michelle's Supply trucks were constantly tampered with and lost all of their ingredients on the way Michelle was distraught while Denzel was Furious and suggested he go get the ingredients himself I had enough so that afternoon when Dad was still busy at the restaurant I confronted Carson it was you all along wasn't it Dad couldn't do all that single-handedly thanks to you Denzel will have to carry the supply himself tonight always Denzel Denzel could our conversation be less about that coward and more about you and me then maybe I could convince Mr Barkley to Stop In Your Wildest Dream even if you were the only man left on Earth I'd rather go extinct than date you there that should knock some Senses Into him but later that day I got a text from Carson if you want to know who's responsible for the Sabotage come to the junkyard oh by the way Denzel's going to drive past too right shipping the ingredients and all what is he up to I texted Dad to come with as this could show him Carson's real face then I ran to the junkyard I arrived to see Carson standing there all by himself you were right it was me all along who faked Michelle's reviews and sabotaged her Supply trucks I tried so hard to get you but you only had eyes for that stupid Denzel but in just a moment you'll see you picked the wrong guy what are you doing he tied me to a car despite my efforts to get free then went to set up what seemed like a trap just then I saw Denzel carrying goods on a scooter about to come through no Denzel don't he drove straight into the Trap lost control and fell over oh boohoo did it hurt too bad you and I are going to fight right here right now whoever wins can have Pamela I already told you I don't fight see Pamela he's not interest Ed you're willing to go this far to prove a point you know what challenge accepted oh no no no he just fell and looked like he'd hurt his leg Carson immediately out Denzel easily I was screaming when someone appeared next to me dad sh let's just see a true boxing spirit will not back down easily just then we saw Denzel slowly rise up and suddenly gave Carson a knockout holy camoi where did that sudden burst of power come from I immediately rushed to check on Denzel while dad went to Carson I trusted you but you dared to do all the Dirty Deeds behind my back you don't deserve to be a true boxer get out of my sight for good now who's the coward now huh you said you'd never fight my dad makes me think boxing is violent and violence is bad but it's not abusing violence is it's okay to fight for justice in this case fighting for the people I love sorry Denzel I was wrong for judging you too quickly you're not a coward at all that's right a man's bravery doesn't just come from his braa or belligerence but should come from his Spirit huh did I say something wrong wow never thought you could be this mature my dad then went and apologized to Michelle for hurting her business and suggested they join forces together and open up a new Pizzeria fortunately Michelle was cool and agreed after that Denzel decided to get back to boxing and best of all my dad is teaching us both okay you two can practice now I got to go over to the restaurant to help Michelle and you know what else Denzel and I are finally dating ow it hurts so bad oh I'm sorry are you you and your silly antics it does hurt I'm not joking does this help then they say gymnastics is the queen of sports and I say I'm at the queen moment of my life I made The Perfect Landing and earned the gold medal as I strutted back to my spot This Man rushed over to me your skills are impressive I'm Nick the Nationals coach and I want you on my team my ears began ringing and my head felt like it was spinning and I thought I was going to puke the nausea wouldn't go away while my super excited teammates kept pestering me say yes Kylie this chance is one in a lifetime I can't take it anymore so I opened the door no I don't want to have a man as a coach I hate you I hate men hi I'm Kylie and there's a valid reason why I dislike men so much my mom passed away when I was little and in instead of spending time with me dad became a Serial dater he always made excuses people can't live without love you'll understand when you're older if this is what love did to people then I didn't want it I swore to Never Fall in Love nuh-uh I went to an all girls boarding school and as the years passed by my hatred towards men grew just being around that man smell made me feel dizzy and nauseous at home dad was waiting for me with his typical Hulk look Kylie why did you refuse to join the National Team why turn down your dream my dream or yours as if you care you were never there for me that's your future Kylie I'll be fine no way universities would turn down my talent but what if you couldn't graduate dad my grades might be bad but I'm not that dumb no my business isn't doing so well I can't afford your tuition fees anymore you'll have to move back home what if I don't graduate then I can't go to UNI if I can't go to UNI then I can't find a job and if there's still this scholarship offer from another school for you to consider though I immediately agreed to it I couldn't sit here watching dad flush away my dreams with his incompetence yeah a new environment might be a bit challenging but I'm a tough girl I can do this only the next day dad dropped me off at a fortress-like building that was apparently my new school and to add more to the problem standing there to greet me was a boy G now I officially had bad vibes about this place I reluctantly followed him to the vice principal's office and I had to sit there with my mouth covered he pushed a towards me you don't look so well just let's get this done quickly please sign here then the vice principal reached out for a handshake welcome to St John's all boys high school sorry all boys yes that's correct you're the only girl here I barged out of the room the corridor was full of boys they were everywhere welcome home Rosie we've been waiting Rosie I tried to dash past them but it was so overwhelming that I tripped over my own feet and this boy stopped my fall but my turning stomach had something to say I threw up all over him this boy shrieked out and let go of me everyone got down at me like I was some sort of exotic bird with whatever dignity I had left I pulled myself up and limped back into the vice principal's office I reject the scholarship you just signed the paperwork you can't just leave I was so mad and speechless dad must have set this whole thing up it seemed I had no choice but to endure this hellish place so on the first day of school I covered myself from head to tow like a ninja but what are those banners for me I went into the classroom trying to not throw up this place was seriously weird I didn't sing and I wasn't called Rosie when the teacher told me to introduce myself I decided to use this opportunity to set some ground rules my name is Kylie I don't sing and you're all gross I demand that you stay at least 6 fet away from me at all times else I will backflip kick you into another dimension to my surprise the students weren't intimidated instead they all applauded and w whistled me uh I hate boys I trudged over to my seat and was about to sit down but then someone kicked my chair away I turned to glare at the culprit oh it was the boy I puked on yesterday stay away I don't want any more vomit on me Kylie and Jerry are both new students so help them settle in everyone so Jerry huh he glared back at me in the midst of all the Cheshire Cat grins from the other school boys oh this is going to be hell after class the boys followed me every step so I had to do a summer to get away but that only made them cheer louder I rushed back to my dorm but the situation was not better had they never seen a girl before I locked myself in my room every night and only left to make a quick Dash to the canteen for food after a week of living like this I was so not okay I was miserable in class and lonely at night one evening I was scrolling through my phone when I saw a hiring post from a cafe near my old school hm if I had a job after school I could avoid the weird boys and hang around with my old friends so I applied for the job easily got hired feeling all excited until I bumped into Jerry why are you here I hurried out of the kitchen what to do now is this jerk haunting me or something but I really needed this job so I stuffed a piece of paper into Jerry's Locker saying that as we both snuck out of the dorm to work let's keep this secret together and surprisingly he agreed to that but that wasn't the only problem I encountered a slippery issue having butter fingers I spilled coffee all over the floor then slipped on it dropped a cake on some woman's lap and man the amount of Cups I've broken I Begg the owner to give me one last try as a baker but the final products were horrifying I was feeling disappointed when I heard someone say classmate need any help oh Jerry and his man smell I rushed to the bathroom is everything okay in there I'm okay just stay there I'm allergic to men I heard Jerry laugh so I explained to him how I was being deadly serious and being around men made me nauseous oh so that's why you threw up on me that day hey maybe I can help you with your job yes and no I don't need your help I'm not doing this for you I oh God what are those Reds I know it's horrible please stop Kylie as a devoted employee of this Cafe I insist on doing this for the customer safety on hearing this I agreed to let Jerry help me thanks to his remote directing I finally made a successful batch of bread and managed to keep my job since then we have become a lot closer Jerry had this idea to cure my allergy to men he slowly let me approach boys at my own Comfort level at the cafe he encouraged me to take the orders from male customers at school he helped me study in a group with some of his friends at first I was wary of them but I guess they weren't so bad not only that they also threw me a boys 101 intervention where they humorously analyzed boys behaviors to help me get along from how boys greet yo what's up how they posed for cool photos to the way a typical boy flirted are you a parking ticket as you've got fine written all over you that's how you flirt with girls hilarious you don't like it but what if I tell you I was being serious I like you Kylie I immediately covered my mouth but not because I felt nauseous what should I do say yes or suddenly my phone rang it was Dad how's school sweetie got a boyfriend yet that's all he cared about right that reminded me that all this was just dad's setup and I can't give him what he wants no boyfriend I yelled then hung up I turned around to tell Jerry to stop joking around but the boys were already pinning him to the ground how dare you flirt with Rosie She's mine not yours stop I grabbed a magazine and declared I'll never date any of you ever because this is my type now get out but the next morning I arrived in class to see all of the school boys in wigs and dresses they mobbed me and thank God Jerry dragged me out of there just in time don't you find them odd they became extremely competitive around me and kept on calling me Rosie Jerry said he didn't understand either something's very fishy about this whole scholarship thing so We snuck into the administration office to see if my file held my answers after searching for a while I found it but whoever was being described here was not me I wasn't a straight A student I didn't sing nor play the guitar and I wasn't a social butterfly then Jerry passed me a binder labeled only Rosie there was a school legend that when Rosie appeared the only flower in the garden would Bloom Rosie's magic was so powerful that every male student would fight for her love there really was a flower blooming in the garden which means I was Rosy so they only love me due to some rusty magic I bet it's the same for you I couldn't stay in this insane school any longer so I went home and curled up in my room on hearing a knock at the door I peaked out and saw Jerry I slammed the door shut Kylie listen this is all me no magic whatsoever at first I thought you were a queen bee who liked the attention but being around you made me realize you're a clumsy cute cry baby but also a strong girl who tries to stand on your own two feet that's the reason why I like you K are you okay go on please I like you because you're Kylie not Rosie I couldn't hold it in anymore and burst into tears I finally opened up to people but it's all fake none of them wanted to be my friends they only like Rosie then Dad appeared of course it was him who let Jerry inside seeing me like that he seemed sad then sat me down to say something actually your mom used to go to that school too Mom was a prodigy who excelled at both studying and singing when the school's reputation was declining the principle broke the rules to invite her to attend the school in hopes that she would lead them to some achievements at first the male students objected it but gradually with her talent and good nature she gained their respect and they fondly called her Rosie your mother was incredible and I couldn't believe my luck when I won her heart I felt so lost without her that I tried to fill the void I jumped from one relationship to another leaving you all alone alone only later did I realize I could still find joy in life even without Rosie by my side Kylie I risked sending you to that school because I wanted you to face your fear don't dismiss love just because of your painful past like I did I finally understood where Dad's behaviors came from and I felt so sorry for him H sorry for interrupting but if Kylie's mother was the first Rosie and her magic immediately Charmed everyone then why did she face objections at first oh actually only Rosie is merely a myth there's no magic involved at all over the years the story must have evolved into that fairy tale now that Jerry mentioned this I realized my file looked more like Mom's than mine even before entering this school everyone was talking about you being a musical prodigy and only dating top students it's like someone created a fake image to make you irresistible dad said it was the vice principal who offered the scholarship we put two and two together and we were convinced that he must be behind all of this Dad and I went to school to confront him but he denied everything and even expelled me the the next day at work Jerry told me something big there are rumors about another school girl it looks like the vice principal wanted to find a new Rosie this had to stop he couldn't keep on using girls like this it was about time his lies were exposed the three of us falsified tons of female students applications and finally got selected on the day of admission Jerry disguised himself as a girl and me as a boy then went to school together all the boys gathered around Jerry and goed at him like he was the new iPhone or something then the vice principal introduced him as their new female student Jesse hi I'm Jesse and I want to tell you a secret then he started ripping off his wig in the most dramatic way ever leaving all the students gasping in shock what you don't think I'm pretty I gripped my stomach and tried to control my laughter you're very pretty oh silly I'm not just a pretty face I'm also a musical prodigy then he pulled out a violin and started making scratchy noises deafening everyone not to mention I'm a very delicate Little Flower then he broke the violin in half before everyone's terrified eyes that's my cue to step in I took off my disguise and pointed at Jerry sneaky little snake you trying to steal my men all boys in this school are mine then I charged a Jerry and grabbed his hair wh why are you here I've expelled you everyone was astonished to hear that and question the vice president about it then I waved the flower I was holding around guys there is no only Rosie this is the flower that Heralds Rosie and it looks pretty fake to me the boys became even more heated towards the vice president fine I did it so what only Rosie is not real as long as it works I only did this to revive the school anyway this school deserves a principal who's as dedicated as me not a has been who never even shows up and could have retired by now he was hopelessly yelling while a group of disgruntled students dragged him outside the rest ran over to me and said they missed me so even among all the lies our friendships were still real and better still I didn't feel dizzy or sick at all now everyone was here to cheer me on the boys dad and of course my soon to be boyfriend Jerry we're not dating yet cuz girl got to play hard to get suddenly a voice interrupted our celebration it was Nick the national team's coach's voice great performance any chance you've reconsidered joining the team reconsidered Nick count me in 100% no a million per in this was like a dream come true that gorgeous man in front of me is Ethan my crush since I was just 14 back then Ethan was my dad's business partner so he'd often come over to our house for dinner for years I adored him in secret but now at 19 I could finally be honest about my feelings so when I ran into him by chance in the grocery store I felt like it was meant to be he invited me for a drink in the cafe nearby and we instantly hid it off we started dating and now we're an official couple there's just one thing that worries me Ethan is recently divorced and has a 10-year-old daughter Clarice who he has fulltime while daydreaming I couldn't hide away from the thought of being someone's stepmom oh my I didn't want to become a mom yet don't worry Clarissa's a cute kid I just know you two will get along Clarice gave me a devious smile the moment she saw me another fish got hooked huh hey that's not the right manner apologize now Ethan immediately said Clarice let out a loud uh then reluctantly apologized great when has it ever been easy to be friends with a naughty 10-year-old girl I understand and this better than most as I have a little sister she's either giving me a headache or crazing at me for candy and I could tell that Clarice was going to be no different one day Ethan called me in a panic saying he had an urgent business trip they informed me at the very last minute I didn't have time to find a babysitter can you help me take care of Clarice for a few days what I've only just met the girl and now I have to mind her for a few days I still didn't know what to say when Ethan continued I'll make it up to you after this and then the next thing I knew Clarice was at my front door oh gosh somebody help me well you know those girls that age like my little sister I kept pouring out while Mike just smiled and slightly shook his head I have to make her like me to win over Ethan so lovely Mike can you please come hang out with us seriously please aren't you good with the ladies fine you know I can't say no to you I took Clarice to a theme park she frowned the moment she saw Mike um who's this I don't like strangers I smiled and said this is Mike he's really cool and I don't care Cindy what kind of situation did you drag me into man I had to ask myself that question this wasn't what I envisioned it to be the outing turned into a competition between them Clarice challenged Mike to play game after game with her until she won in the end they played with the water guns and I knew for sure Mike let her win but as soon as he let go of his water gun Clarice squirted water all over him leaving him completely drenched oops what on Earth is this that's the price for the loser oh okay Cindy that's enough have fun and he stormed off oh no what have I done to him I stood there dumbfounded staring at Clarice okay so it was kind of funny but I couldn't laugh at my poor friend I want ice cream Clarice grinned then skipped away H ice cream a girl after my own heart on the way home we talked so much about her fave show the babysitters club and how Stacy is her favorite character hm maybe the day wasn't so bad after all a few days later Ethan returned and I was really excited to see him thank you so much for taking care of Clarice meanwhile I noticed Clarice was slowly backing out with an awkward look on her face I thought she'd be as happy as me to see him but it didn't seem that way darling are you okay are you sick I I'm okay I need to go to my room after that at dinner the question are you sick was raised no less than 10 times and it made me feel sick too I said I'm not sick and I don't want to see a doctor Ethan I think clares is fine so maybe stop asking her hearing that Ethan seemed uncomfortable and turned away weird what was wrong with them maybe this was just something they did H whatever it is I wasn't enjoying this heavy atmosphere the next day after lunch Clarice was helping me clean the table while Ethan was packing to go on his next trip she insisted on washing the dishes while I said goodbye to Ethan we were hugging in the doorway when suddenly I heard a loud scream coming from the kitchen Ethan and I both rushed in there and saw Clarice crying as she gripped her hand Ethan frantically asked what happened while I quickly searched for a first aid kit I was washing the dishes but I accidentally cut my hand Cindy I'm sorry I wasn't being careful please don't punish me what what was she talking about Ethan seemed to have the same question as me Cindy always makes me do the chores she told me if I do them badly I can't have dinner huh why was she saying things that weren't true turning pale with shock I muttered out no that's not true I I don't want to stay here Dad let me go home Clarice interrupted me as she was crying harder I'm so sorry but I have to go now I don't even know if you're lying or not how can you say that to me Clarice shouted you monster then she ran upstairs I stood there not knowing what to do my brain couldn't process what just happened Ethan looked at me inside why didn't he say anything he didn't honestly think I was capable of doing that did he I decided I needed to confront Clarice about this so I went up to her room and calmly said Clarice why did you say that you forced me to do all the chores what how can you lie like that I never do such a thing oh but are people going to believe you or a poor little girl oh my god there was me thinking she was a sweet kid when in actual fact she was the complete opposite I rushed outside and shaking I pulled my phone out I called Mike and told him everything oh boy that kid is complicated maybe she doesn't want you to be with her dad but even so what she did was weird I think you should stay away from them but how to I couldn't just run away besides Ethan was on his trip again and I was in charge of her so I kept my distance no more talking or having fun but it seemed that Clarice had other ideas I was watching TV in the living room when Clarice appeared and pulled my shirt Cindy I want you to play video games with me me the more silent I was the harder she pulled no Clarice I'm not in the mood I shouted go play by yourself then I walked off a few minutes later Cass a senior student came over to give me some documents we sat down and had some ice tea then suddenly bam and a cry oh no Cass and I rushed to the noise Clarice had fallen down the stairs in the basement and was surrounded by the laundry basket and dirty clothes Cass quickly ran down there and helped her up are you okay what happened Cindy told me to do the laundry in time the basket was so full so I slipped no no no I screamed inside my head when Cass gave me a concerned look Cass please I'll explain later can you please leave why I screamed at Clara's face the moment Cass left if you don't play with me you'll be a child abuser you'll have to go to jail this is driving me crazy just a few days ago she wanted her dad to take her away from here and now she's blackmailing me for not playing with her right at that moment Ethan called hi Cindy I just want to check on you too is Clarice sick or anything uh what on Earth Earth is this am I crazy or are these two actually weird OMG I need Mike now please take me away from here I said as I opened the door for Mike stop Clarice shouted you two can't go anywhere oh now you're telling me what not to do if you go I'll tell the whole world how badly you've been treating me you'll both go to jail so that's your scam her smirk disappeared she turned pale and stuttered no it it was my dad's your dad's scam Clarice looked flustered as she realized what she had just blurted out then she quickly covered it up nothing Mike sat down and looked at her with Stern eyes I stood there waiting for the answer I um my dad made me eventually Clarice confessed turns out Ethan was a professional scammer who scams young wealthy girls into giving him money worse he dragged his daughter into his scheme the plan went like this he used his handsome looks to flirt with the girls then clarice's cuteness to get the girls empathy after that he would go on some last minute business trip and ask them to take care of Clarice meanwhile Clarice would pretend to be seriously sick when Ethan arrived back he would persuade the girls to hand over money for Hospital fees then he and Clarice would disappear out of their lives at first he told me to do what he said and he'd get me a bike what about the abusing lie you made up I asked still shocked I made up that excuse so Dad would take me away I really like you so I don't want his plan to work then why did you continue to act up because Cindy was mad at me and I wanted her to play with me so I pulled that trick again tears streamed down my face unbelievable I voluntarily stepped into his trap right at the beginning he didn't even have to do much I felt like such an idiot after that we exposed Ethan Clarice helped us too turns out he's bankrupt which is why his wife left left him and why he's no longer my dad's business partner Ethan was arrested but Clarissa's mom was out of the country and she refused to return for her daughter to be honest I love Clarice and I didn't want her to live in the orphanage so I let her live at my place for a while before I told my parents everything obviously my parents have more capacity and power to deal with this it took a while for Clarice to get over her guilt and settle in but now we get on better than ever she's a sweet cute girl who deserves far better than her parents have given her then one day I came back home from college to find Clarice placing some roses on the dining table which was already romantically set up with candles and steak Cindy you're back how can you prepare a full dinner like this Clarice didn't say anything she just giggled and ran to her room someone hugged me from behind would you mind being my date tonight it was Mike thinking about it I guess my perfect man was right under my nose this entire time so grinning I turned around and replied I thought you'd never ask do you know what it's like to be a Pampered princess well I do because my dad's a billionaire so the high life's mine not only did we live in a five-story mansion but I grew up never having to lift one of my pretty perfect delicate fingers I'm Sophia and throughout my childhood I had everything done for me there was a maid to brush my hair make my bed and even do my homework for me I didn't even have to search my walk-in wardrobe for a daily outfit as I had my own personal stylist for that so what I'm spoiled but I can't help being so perfect I'm far too gorgeous to be stuck in a stuffy classroom studying not when I could be partying or shooing with the Stars at Swanky cocktail balls but then one morning after a particularly crazy night out I arrived home with a makeup smudged face and only one shoe dad frowned at me and then he said Sophia you can't carry on like this you're going to college starting next week but Dad I I don't need to go to college school sucks plus we have enough money to last us several lifetimes let's just travel and have fun but Daddy insisted I couldn't just sleep all day and party all night so I decided to Major an interior design for now some of the course was okay I mean I liked the pretty Fabrics but I just didn't see the point in being there so after a month I dropped out and planned a long trip away with my besties but there was one tiny problem as paying for this trip would cost way more than my allowance could cover so I had no choice but to Dawn my best puppy eyes look and ask my dad for money daddyy please College just isn't for me but I really feel that going away for a while will help clear my mind he snorted I highly doubt that Sophia you're lazy self-centered and you rely entirely on everyone to support you you're 20 for God's sakes so act like it I pleaded back but Daddy I just want to have some fun with my friends then get a job and spend your own money on whatever you like but if you carry on behaving this way then don't expect any more hands outs from me you're lucky that I still haven't kicked you out Sophia but soon what that's so unreasonable he was my father it's his duty to support me geez did he not love me at all I was so mad that I shouted you're just some sad selfish old man then I stormed out of there I was instructing my maid to pack my suitcases when my mom came in and handed me a bank card saying it's a secret between us two yay thanks Mom now let the dream Voyage begin wow it really was Heaven to me with cocktails in the pool and lazy Beach days well at least that wasn't until my friend said they wanted a day exploring it was hot and sticky out there but I didn't want to be left alone so I reluctantly tagged along we ended up in this small Forest Area and I chose to sit under a parasol while my friends went to take a dip in the nearby waterfall because duh I wasn't ruining my hair for anyone I didn't understand how this could be anyone's definition of fun I just hoped that that my friends would hurry back then I heard footsteps I turned around thinking it was the girls but instead there were two men with balla clavas on oh no this couldn't be good I jumped up to my feet and began to run but my designer's sandals weren't made for Swift exits and soon they caught me I screamed out as a smelly cloth went over my mouth after that the world began to darken around me I flickered my eyes open jeez it was so Sunny where were my sunglasses that's when I heard two voices and I remembered being kidnapped I heard the one man say got her phone the other replied of course I don't want to upset the boss I was so scared that I pretended to still be unconscious then suddenly I heard the sound of the engine starting I opened my eyes and saw the men driving away now I was all alone in some field what why would anyone kidnap someone than just leave them in the middle of nowhere my friends must be so worried about me I needed to contact them but how I had no idea where I was and no phone uh I should find a way out of this deserted place first then borrow someone's phone the kidnappers had left a bag next to me which had a bottle of water some snacks and some gross looking sneakers in it yuck but I had no choice but to put them on as my sandals were now torn E I would need so many pedicures to recover from this I took the bag with me and started walking after what felt like hours of torture a farmhouse finally came into view I whooped with joy and knocked on the door but no one answered I know trespassing is wrong but this was an emergency see so I pushed the door open and ventured inside I was just going to make a quick phone call then I'd leave but then I accidentally stumbled and knocked over a vase a smashing sound broke the silence I panicked and was about to run away but from upstairs a man came down and shouted stop thief before I could explain he grabbed my hand and pulled me back I tried explaining that I wasn't a Thief but he gave me a skeptical look and said well in that case you can leave once you've paid for my vas that's a collectible what this ugly thing I told him I would as soon as I made a phone call so he doubtfully passed me his cell I stared at it um turns out I have never cared to remember any of my friends numbers I then thought about calling my parents but no way I was mad not at dad and asking for his help right now only meant accepting defeat no never I told the man I would pay when I got home but he refused to let me go after a while of arguing he forced me to stay and work for him until I paid it off he even made up an agreement and made me sign it and what other choice did I have yep I was completely stuck here this was the worst day of my life he said his name was Manson then he showed me where I'd be staying um this had to be a joke it was a barn literally there was an uncomfortable looking bed in there and I could hear horses ning in the barn next door was he kidding me I was sitting there in despair when my stomach rumbled with Hunger so I barged into the kitchen and ordered Manson to make me some food but he just pointed at the eggs by the stove and told me to make myself something to eat um sure i' definitely do that if I knew how to cook Manson just sat there smirking while I threw the whole legegg into the pan and then spent the next half hour trying to work out how to turn the stove on in the end I gave up and returned to my so-called room with an empty stomach if you think that was bad well things soon got a lot worse at 5:00 a.m. a noisy rooster woke me up and then started my disastrous days at the Farm I accidentally dropped the bag of seeds onto the floor and got them in my hair so the chickens chased me around the pen to get to them I slipped over in the pig Dy ew I chipped a nail cleaning out the rabbit hutch I even fell into horse manure it was awful then on top of it all Manson was so rude he just laughed at me struggling with everything but then one day it all got too much for me I was exhausted and felt so dizzy that I stumbled and broke two baskets of eggs it really hurt so bad and I was even in tears thinking Manson would be mad but instead he ran over to check on me then he even cooked me a nice meal and told me that I'd been doing a great job despite the accidents whoa what's with this personality change so maybe he wasn't as bad as I thought over the next few days I actually found myself enjoying Manson's company we sat by the fire pit and watched the sunset we went horse riding and I managed not to fall off and he even taught me how to cook that's when I realized two things firstly I'd been a brat I was lazy selfish and I took everything for granted but now I realized that with hard work came reward and secondly I realized that I liked Manson a lot so I decided to do something nice for him I gave the barn a makeover it was just simple things really I put a rug down added some plants hung up a few pictures and fairylights then I dragged Manson over to have a look he peered around the barn then smiled Sophia this is so lovely then he awkwardly looked down at his feet look I need to tell you something um it's your dad he hired those men to kidnap you then paid me to let you stay here I laughed over that ridiculous joke but then he continued your dad wanted you to change your outlook on life and understand the value of money he only has your best interested heart wait was this all just a setup with teary eyes I looked straight at Manon and said I was going to tell you that I have feelings for you but I suppose you don't feel the same I need to go please tell my father to send someone to pick me up ASAP unless he's okay with me walking all the way back home without any phone or cash then I hurried out of there he shouted after me but I ignored him I was so angry and upset I continued walking until a car eventually pulled up alongside me it was our family's driver he took me home then I locked myself in my room refusing to come out it took a few few days for me to calm down enough to go confront my father and when I did well I found myself running into his arms and telling him how sorry I was he looked so shocked I finally realized that my dad only did that because he loves me and he wanted me to see the True Values of life I told him I would resume my studies at college but there was something else I needed to do first I showed up at Manson's doorstep with some carrots for the horses and a new vuse on seeing him he grinned then gave me the biggest hug guys life isn't all about designer clothes and expensive holidays sometimes a stinky farm full of even stinkier animals and a cute guy well that can be the best place in the world as for the future well Manson and I are both taking it slow and seeing where it goes I do have big plans for his farm though I'm helping him renov at the barns into holiday Cottages so other people can sample the country life too a part of me will always be a Pampered princess but as for the other part of me well it turns out she can make a mean egg bagel and outrun a pen full of chickens don't take life for granted it doesn't matter how pretty and Rich you are instead there's far more to life than just that why haven't the results of the sketch contest been published yet hey guys the results are over here frantically I ran to the results board Julie Morris the first place on the list F congrats Julie you deserve it you're both pretty and talented is there anything you can't do oh how I adore receiving high praises from everyone like that but what's that sound I turned around and it was just Kate normally she'd went for sure but let's check out her rank oh here at the bottom it was all because of the school logo and ink on the body of the pencil she used that day Kate's hands got sweaty easily so when drawing the ink stained her hand and she accidentally smeared it over her paper poor you Kate but you know what I'm just simply better than you now all that was left between me and one of the three golden tickets to a design summer camp in Italy was one last contest there's one problem this new girl called Ariana unfortunately just so happens to be a talented designer Julie are you okay Miss Julie fainted a boy shouted loud ly and frantically took me to the first aid room yeah so now here I am but hey don't worry actually I'm not ill at all I was just pretending so I could skip PE class to carry out my plan as I walked into class I saw everyone buzzing around Ariana's desk I asked my friend what happened and she said someone had spilled coffee all over her drawing Ariana was all panicking and kept checking her watch she'd still have to redraw it but time was running out suddenly a voice said hey someone dropped a necklace here maybe that's who did all this subconsciously I touched my neck and uh-oh it wasn't there then there was a hand on my shoulder that startled me to turn around it was Rebecca um if I'm not mistaken this is yours right she glared at me um um that's my necklace but so how did it end up under Ariana's desk at that moment I was so shaken that I couldn't say a word luckily for me Ariana piped in I think it's just a coincidence Julie would never do something like this everyone agreed with her saying that a sweer like me would never do such a mean thing it's okay Rebecca was just confused that's all no worries how dare Rebecca accuse excuse me it's crazy to think we used to be besties you see I've known her since childhood as our parents are friends but then she grew up and turned into this awful knowitall but hey I needed to put it aside I had to focus on my own design just because I'd sabotaged Ariana's design didn't mean I could let my guard down it was an anxious wait to find out if I'd made the summer camp list though I shouldn't have to be that stressed as of course I was in turns out even though Ariana had to redraw in a rush she still got one slot too but the last slot went to Rebecca huh I didn't know she was also into fashion design anyway whatever Rebecca she was never my match so TAA finally I'm here at Milan the fashion capital of the world and guess what during the summer camp there will be various competitions and the best will win a scholarship to the poly Technic University of Milan unbelievable I've been dreaming about this for a long time no one was going to stand in my way the camp was amazing I enjoyed visiting museums and studying courses in fashion history choosing clothing material and cutting techniques then our first test was announced completing basic sewing skills in the fastest time easy peasy I I've even taken some classes on tailoring before so of course it didn't bother me seeing everyone struggling to complete their products I smiled and confidently pressed the end time button however at the same time someone else hit their button too Rebecca of course the judges loved my work but watching them praise Rebecca's work sucked how can someone who has never taken a sewing class be so good the two weeks of summer camp flew by but then the last challenge arrived which would decide the winner each candidate got a large piece of cloth and this is all we would be given which meant no room for mistakes everyone was trying to focus and design with maximum intensity I glanced at Rebeca who seemed to almost be finished with the dress and to be honest her white dress looked quite simple but elegant suddenly it got me anxious uh since when did she become such a pain in the neck we had a little break at noon so everyone went out for lunch meanwhile I stayed back a little longer trying to finish the test I just didn't feel like eating knowing that my dress was not perfect yet but only I wasn't able to concentrate on my design I kept staring at Rebecca's mannequin instead should I do this or not if anyone finds out then everything will be over but if I lose then my dreams will be shattered anyway something inside of me kept urging me to go straight to Rebecca's work and immediately Splash ink on that white dress my heart thudded with a mixture of excitement and guilt then I quickly fled the scene when everyone returned to the room and saw Rebecca's dress they gasped in shock huh why was Rebecca the only one not panicking she calmly took a brush dipped it in the ink well and walked towards the dress then she started splashing ink over it what was she playing at my question was immediately answered when a very unique ink patterned dress appeared in front of my eyes worse still the judge's faces lit up when they saw it and they highly appreciated her problem solving skills um congrats Rebecca you did a good job no thanks to you Julie let's see who wins Rebecca sneered and walked away what did she mean by that did she know that I was the one who did it I was so worried that I tossed and turned all night hey Julie wake up you can't be late for the last challenge oh hi Ariana what are you saying uhoh hang on how come it was still the 23rd of July had I dreamt it all but it was so strange things actually happened exactly like that dream the ink incident with Rebecca's dress and her quick thinking to Rescue It Anyways keep calm I couldn't let this scholarhip slide I couldn't be that girl that lost it on my dream to someone else the shame would be unbearable after finishing the design each of us would have a model to present it at that point I made a crazy decision right before the performance I quickly followed Rebecca's model to the restroom locked the door from the outside then put the out of service sign in front of it when all the contestants settled down to watch the show Rebecca still didn't turn up well well maybe she was still busy looking for a substitute model give up yet Rebecca I was laughing to myself when my thoughts of Victory were interrupted by Applause and whistles huh on the catwalk is that Rebecca wearing her own design Ariano whispered into my ear Rebecca is stunning she totally deserves this scholarship right Julie what how could Rebecca surpass me again hey Julie wake up you can't be late for the last challenge what it's still the 23rd of July hang on this meant Rebecca hadn't won yet and I still had a chance this time I decided not to mess up Rebecca's dress instead I looked up online some ideas to improve my own design and I discovered a wonderful design on a fashion blog which was quite similar to what Rebecca was doing H turned out little miss perfect was just an idea Thief so I decided to design the exact same dress and 1 hour right before the show it was time to pull the trigger I reported to the judge that Rebecca stole my idea and claimed myself to be the owner of that blog but instead of any sign of panic a work lit up on Rebecca's face as she turned to me and said game over Julie then she went straight to the judge I didn't know what she told them but they disqualified me right after excuse me I couldn't breathe or think or anything I pointed at Rebecca and yelled she's the thief there's something wrong here then Rebecca calmly approached me nice try Julie but your dirty tricks won't fool me I know it was you that ruined Kad and Ariana's projects and guess who is the real owner of that blog yep me I stared at her in shock as she continued to talk about the real reason why she stopped being friends with me she said it was all because of my jealousy which had turned me into such a mean girl Julie you're beautiful and talented you need to believe in your own abilities instead of sabotaging other people's work don't be that type of person I woke up sweating I reached for the phone and it was still the 23rd of July would this day please be over already but maybe this was good as this meant I had a chance to put things right lunchtime arrived and I lingered behind and looked at Rebecca's perfect dress I hovered my hand over the ink bottle but then I left it where it was sighed then walked back over to my own dress so what happened well Rebecca still won but you know what it's okay I tried my best I didn't cheat and well Rebecca's dress was a worthy winner after the competition I saw some of the other girls congratulating Rebecca so I walked over and tapped her on the shoulder and giving her a sincere smile said I just wanted to say congrats your Design's amazing thanks Julie I really love your us too your stitching was so precise okay so I didn't win but I did learn a valuable lesson I should always give 100% in what I do instead of wasting so much time and energy trying to ruin things for other people oh and about that time loop I put it down to competition stress I think it must have made me feel like I was stuck in a dream world until I learned the error of my ways finally I found inner peace and I'm finally out of that dream I have to admit I did whoop when I woke up and it was finally the 24th of July Emma your teacher Mrs Holm called again she said your grades are appalling and you don't pay attention in class why can't you be more like your sister yawn not this speech again it's been like this ever since I started Elementary School in my mom's eyes only my sister Evelyn inherited our dad's intelligence well I'm just the senseless member of the family as if she's only good with useless books bet she doesn't know anything practical like how dad's ethernet company works and such but whatever I don't care I'm full I announced as I got up and went to my little headquarters the garage I was busy working on my own personal project so I didn't have time to give a hoot about who my mom's favorite child is oh you must be wondering what I'm working on well this device broadcasts Wi-Fi sounds familiar right but my device is able to broadcast across the entire city not only that the connection is stronger and much more stable than the wi-fi people use at home and it's more convenient without all the cables and stuff this is without a doubt my proudest work ever and what a coincidence that a few days earlier at School Mrs Hol announced that for the first time the school was organizing an invention contest normally I give school activities a Miss but this time was different this contest could be fun right there was no time to waste so I put all my spare time day and night into making my invention contest ready and you won't believe what happened I won first prize and that's not all one of the judges Mr Johnson was so interested in my invention that he offered to invest in it at first I was kind of scared and hesitated to agree cuz I mean I was still in high school but this was an opportunity of a lifetime so how could I deny it right so after that Mr Johnson sorted out a manufacturing company and office space for me downtown this is cool but I prefer to work in my garage it's just more convenient that way with me still being at school and all I upgraded my device and launched it to the public and you know what it was a huge success pretty much everybody in the city got rid of their old laggy Wi-Fi devices and accessed mine then one day I got a call from the local news channel asking to interview me and my my family at home oh my God yes oh there's just one snag I hadn't told my family about it yet because um I don't know maybe I just know there's no way they'd believe me like the time I got an A in my physics exam and my mom instantly asked if I cheated but well whatever this is much bigger than that so I quickly ran downstairs to the living room and excitedly told my family that the invention benefiting the town was mine but M and Evelyn burst out laughing so you're telling me that this wi-fi which is broadcasting across the entire city is your invention yeah Mom it's mine then M and Evelyn laughed even louder honey it's bad enough you're failing at school please don't start lying H forget about it why did I even try then the morning after when the doorbell rang my mom opened it and saw a reporter and a cameraman she couldn't believe her eyes Mom and Evelyn exchanged panicked looks then rushed upstairs to prepare it was so hilarious the hysterics continued as they interviewed my parents I watched my nervous sweaty dad stand there like an awkward statue while Mom began bragging about me like as soon as Emma was born I knew she was a genius like her dad I always encourage her to pursue her dreams geez and the Oscar goes too my mom I didn't know she could act that well to be honest since I could remember mom never said anything nice about me ever but now that she knew I was The Mastermind behind the town's Wi-Fi she would probably treat me differently right wrong then one night I came downstairs for a glass of milk and overheard Mom and Dad talking in the living room Emma is such a selfish child how badly will this affect your business the truth is the company's going through tough times but don't worry we're trying everything we can huh did I do something and what's wrong with dad's company I tried to EES drop more but suddenly I heard my dad standing up from the couch so I quickly ran upstairs to my room the next day Dad forgot to take his lunch with him to work so Mom asked me to take it over but when I got to his company floor it was deserted huh where was everybody did everybody get a day off or something but that couldn't be it right that evening over dinner I asked Dad I went to your office at midday but not a single person was there what's going on Mom suddenly put her Cutlery down and gave dad a shocked look is what Emma just said true dad lowed LED his head inside out yes it's true I temporarily shut the company last week I didn't want you all to worry so I didn't tell you I'm sorry what how could you you said you would fix it that's when it hit me but I deeply prayed it wasn't the truth so I asked him is it because of my device dad didn't answer me he just glared sadly down at his dinner but I knew it is silence meant I was right suddenly Evelyn stood up and screamed in my face it's all your fault you invented that stupid device and now dad's business is at stake that's so typical of you you never think before you act then she stomped off upstairs I just sat there speechless I just wanted my family to be proud of me but instead it seemed like they despised me more than ever then dad turned to me and softly said Emma this isn't your fault I was kind of waiting for my mom to say something anything at all but she didn't she just cleaned up the table I felt really bad about what happened to Dad but hey now I had to work even harder so I could provide for my family right after that Mom completely ghosted me as for my sister whenever our paths crossed she gave me a dagger look and muttered out mean comments like let's see how long it takes for your precious business to fail I tried to ignore her but then she took it too far one Sunday I was in my garage working away when suddenly I heard loud noises coming from outside I opened the garage door to see a crowd of people holding signs saying we lost our jobs because of you and no job no future my God they were protesters I think they were from my dad's office wait a minute I spotted a familiar face Evelyn she was holding a big sign saying my dad lost his job because of you eventually dad came out and dispersed the crowd then he called an emergency family meeting how could you do that to me the correct question would be how could you do that to Dad thanks to you dozens of people have lost their jobs you're making people's lives miserable enough both of you Evelyn what you did was wrong families are supposed to support each other but Dad she didn't you just hear what I said Evelyn gave me a dirty look then she ran off to her room I looked at mom who was leaning against the wall with her arms folded did she agree with what Evelyn did or was she on my side my God please say something but to my surprise after that my mother started talking to me again and she was actually being nice she even started cleaning my room and workspace whoa this was new had she finally accepted me then one day I received tons of emails complaining about my Wi-Fi it took me all day but I finally found the cause of the problem my laptop somebody had tampered with it it didn't take a genius to figure out who it was Evelyn duh but I needed proof so I set up a trap the next evening when everybody was having dinner I ran downstairs quickly grabbed a piece of bread and said I need to go run some errands oh and can you please stay out of the garage as I'm uploading some important files Mom and Dad nodded and smiled at me Evelyn on the other hand just rolled her eyes and continued eating well at least I knew my plan was in motion I walked outside and hid behind the bushes so what's my plan you ask well I set up my laptop so that when anyone opened it it would automatically send a notification to my phone and turn on the camera so I could see who it was I waited for an hour but still nothing then suddenly my phone beeped somebody was opening my laptop they hadn't switched the light on yet so it was too dark to see them but I was 100% sure who it was time to expose what are you doing sneaking out here Evelyn what was she doing out here wait if Evelyn was here then who was it in the garage not answering Evelyn's question I ran like crazy into the garage to capture this Intruder and as soon as I turned on the lights I couldn't believe who was messing with my laptop it was mom what on Earth was going on I called a family meeting and told everyone what Mom did Dad and Evelyn looked shocked and asked Mom why she did it I just couldn't stand seeing your dad suffer anymore he put his life into that company and now he's just a laughing stalk do you realize our neighbors and relatives have been gossiping about him they think it's so pitiful that he lost out to his own daughter so I did what any self-respecting wife would do was she serious why didn't she just talk to me all I ever wanted was for her to talk to me nothing else but no she decided to go behind my back and try to sabotage my business instead after her betrayal I'd had enough so I didn't speak to her and avoided her as much as possible it was one thing for Mom to be cold towards me but I never thought she was capable of doing this this went on for weeks and it got kind of tedious trust me it's no fun trying to avoid someone in your own home but then one day I arrived back from school and saw Dad sitting in a corner in the living room repairing his PC geez it looked so miserable that's when the truth hit me this was his passion and I took it away from him suddenly I understood why Mom did what she did she saw how disheartened he was but knew he'd never say anything to me because he's always support but how can I fix everything should I give everything up so that my dad can reopen his company again why was this so hard to figure out wait a minute I think I have the solution you must be wondering what my dad was doing here well I came up with the idea that we should work together my dad's a pro with technology so it didn't take long to show him how things work around here oh and since my business has grown we were able to employ some of his former work employees too with d around to help I have time to focus on my studies even Evelyn started helping out and she was so good at it I made her dad's assistant talk about a proper family business ha as for Mom we had a really long talk I finally told her how awful her attitude towards me made me feel and she apologized for everything she had done I eventually forgave her her I knew she did that just because she loves dad very much so after all that drama we're now just one big happy family hi there I'm Flora Portside High School cheerleading captain and beauty pageant Queen my natural beauty and charisma mean that everyone's drawn to me but hey I don't make it easy for them I only allow a select few to get close to me as I can't be seen associating with just anyone only my classmate nah is pretty enough to have the coveted position of my BFF birds of a feather flocked together right my high school life was perfect but then in the space of one day that all changed the principal Mrs Harrington told me that due to my cheerleading abilities I'd won a scholarship to the ACL Academy a boarding school for the athletically gifted and I was leaving today huh this made no sense I mean I don't even do Sports I rushed straight home to discuss it with my mom and found her sitting on the couch surrounded by a load of shopping bags yep she'd already spent the scholarship money before I'd even found out the news I know mom loves money but how could she make such a huge decision about my life without discussing it with me first looks like I had no choice but to leave Portside High behind and go to the stupid Sports School whatever I'm a skilled cheerleader after all it would be a breeze right wrong this new school sucked on my very first day here I was woken up at 6 6: a.m. and forced to run five laps around the stadium God are these people superheroes or what how are they able to run and laugh at the same time while I'm panting like crazy I didn't have time to catch my breath when the teacher made us move to the gym to lift weights after 3 hours in the hellish gym I barely had time to digest my lunch before they steered me into the volleyball court yep that's the sport mom had registered me for stupid sport finally nighttime arrived and I managed to crawl my aching body back to my dorm God save me from this living nightmare suddenly the door opened and insteed my three roomies AKA my volleyball teammates honestly I don't even know if I could call them girls or not one has super short cropped bangs one doesn't say much and shuffles more than walks and one wears clothes so baggy they resemble a tent obviously I'm way out of their league and you know what they all have in common they're always sweaty so gross come to think of it I have to go take a shower ASAP otherwise I might turn into one of them fresh out of the shower I called Nina and blurted out how exhausted I was and how much I missed our school poor you you must be so tired oh by the way I have some amazing news to tell you there's a city Beauty patch coming up and I'm representing the school what but I won the school beauty contest yeah you did but you don't attend port side High anymore so seeing as I came second they've given me the spot too bad as you definitely would have won what how unfair I was still in shock when the dorm supervisor stormed in and took away my phone uh yeah I forgot to mention this school even has a strict 10 p.m. phones away and a lights off rule it's all cuz they believe health is the most precious thing for an athlete I tossed and turned all night this beauty pageant was massive and there's no way I could miss it but I'm not at Portside High anymore instead I'm stuck in this dumb jock Academy H if only I could get out of here huh that's right I have a brilliant idea I need to get expelled so I decided to skip practice and go caused some Havoc for 3 days straight I poured paint into the pool cut off the badminton strings deflated all of the soccer balls and of course I made sure that the security cameras caught it all and as expected the principal eventually called me into his office yes this was the moment I was waiting for soon I could pack and get out of here only the rest didn't exactly go to plan if it had not been for Mrs Harrington two laps of frog jumps around the soccer field now what frog jumps I hate those things why couldn't he just kick me out already but wait what does Mrs Harrington have to do with this after my punishment I needed to vent so hugging my aching thighs I called nah to complain about my failed plan and she just burst out laughing oh Flora those outdated tricks were never going to work you have to do something bold like oh my God nah is a genius the next night following Nina's instructions I sneaked out when everyone was asleep that's right I'm going to wake the whole school up with these firecrackers I lit one in the dorm's backyard then ran to hide behind the bushes 3 2 1 and silence huh I went back to check and saw that it had gone out what's wrong is this one broken I tried again and again but the same thing happened each time as if a ghost did it just the thought of it sent chills down my spine so I sprinted right back to my room okay so not only had my plan been a massive fail but it had left me super tired needless to say this morning's run was not fun zombie alert H how come they look even more exhausted than me hey have you guys heard about the doomed jock he's the ghost in the dorm's backyard allegedly he attended this Academy years ago and he exercised himself to death right there in the dorm's backyard so now he haunts it what was she talking about could it be the one who messed with me yesterday was the doomed jock I couldn't just give up like that I needed to figure out a way to get out of this awful place before this ghost got me H how about starting a fight I heard that the fencing team and basketball team were the two toughest groups in the school so I sprayed paint on their fencing masks and punctured all of the basketballs and left a fencing sword at the scene then I wrote both teams an anonymous letter Sunday 2: p.m. abandoned building near the back gate when Sunday came I hid in the abandoned house and waited for the two groups to arrive look at their tents faces this was going to be fun I quickly called the cops and then took advantage of the chaos to blend in with the feuding teams I almost got punched in the face when fortunately the cops got there just in time causing everyone to frantically flee the scene I happily ran to a cop it's me I started this fight but to my surprise the cop just asked if I was hurt then he hurriedly chased after the gang only then I realized that if I wanted to be caught I had to do exactly what they did run away oh man I was staggering my way back to the dormatory feeling deflated when I spotted the fencing and basketball teams coming my way freaked out I looked around for a place to hide but there was only one car parked on the side of the road with no other way I ventured to open the car door and oh it wasn't locked I quickly jumped in hid under the back seat and lay completely still at that moment the car door swung open I closed my eyes and braced myself to catch some hands when suddenly the car revved up and left looking up I saw the principal sitting in the driver's seat whistling happily oh so it was his car after a while the car stopped in front of a bar in town didn't expect a serious man like him to go to such places but wait an underage student being caught by the principal here would surely get me expelled right with that in mind I hurriedly followed him but at the door a security guard stopped me and asked for my ID card I had no idea what to do when suddenly a strange guy appeared hey cutie need an ID card how about this I'll lend you a fake ID to get in in exchange you must go out with me tonight sounds good huh wow I didn't plan on sticking around for long as I would just get in find the principal and get caught right away anyway so I nodded in agreement I was about to take the ID card from him when someone yanked me back and pushed me into a the cab my roommates what are you doing here do you know you've just ruined my plan and ruined who's the one causing trouble here do you honestly believe that if you get expelled like that your old school will take you back fat chance huh how' you know that I'm trying to get expelled turns out my roommates overheard the conversation between me and nah it was them who extinguished my firecrackers in the campus backyard then made up the doomed jock ghost story to make me stay away from there then when the basketball and fencing team searched for me it was them who lied that I was with them all day so I could get away with it but what did you do that for don't get us wrong we didn't do it for you we did it to protect the school's reputation then they started telling me that for the last few years due to bad achievements our school was on The Chopping Block to make space for industrial areas the only way to convince the city council to keep our school was by winning the State's upcoming Sports competition we've all played sports for all of our Lives sport is everything to us if our school closes we don't know where we'd go that's why when we saw you being lazy and messing about we couldn't just sit back and watch oh I had no idea about this suddenly I felt so guilty I mean of course I don't want to ruin their Futures I then also opened up to them and told them all about the beauty pageant they insisted there must be a way to join the pageant without returning to my old school so they searched around on Google and guess what turns out the pageant accepts free candidates too which means no school registration needed what else could I wish for I immediately signed up for it and as a thank you to my new friends I started making an effort at playing volleyball I'm a tall girl so my training position is a right side hitter and you know what there is this satisfaction whenever I was able to block a ball not going to lie this is much more interesting than I thought that weekend I went to the city to pick out some dresses for the beauty contest I found myself immersed in racks of gorgeous gowns when a familiar voice startled me how about this one mom stunning sweetie you're the most beautiful girl in this world I don't know what possessed them to pick Flora over you but no need to worry this time as I have sent her far away yeah that's where she belongs I'll show them who's the true beauty queen now what no way my old school principal is Nina's mom and transferring me to the sports academy was part of her plan just so her daughter could go to the pageant I was fuming so as soon as Mrs Harrington went outside to take a call I walked straight over to confront nah I can't believe you're like that nah looked shocked at first but then smirked as she said like what like someone who's far prider more talented and Crown Worthy than you thanks sporty girl I shoved past her and stormed out of there wait for it Nina we'll soon see who the real winner is the next few weeks were crazy busy with volleyball practice and the pageant preparations I may have only been a reserve but I still wanted to give it my all to motivate the team the sports competition soon arrived and after 2 days of competing the fate of the school came down to the final match our volleyball game talk about intent it sucked it was on the same day as the beauty pageant as I would have loved to be able to cheer them on from the player bench but then disaster struck the girl who plays right side hitter sprained her wrist and couldn't play the whole team looked so worried and that made my heart ache there was only one thing for it I'd replace her if I was quick I could still make it to the beauty pageant afterward come on Flora stay focused just one point left and we'd win suddenly the ball came flying at me this was [Music] it I hit it with all my might and score we won I was busy celebrating our Victory when everyone suddenly asked me about the beauty pageant oh my God I almost forgot the match went on longer than I thought it would my friends dragged me into the taxi but when we got there the show was already coming to an end and worst of all guess who is standing there wearing the Winner's crown and looking all smug yep Nina did you come to congratulate me thanks bestie oh you guys must be Flora's new friends H that figures how cute stop the ACT Nina yes they are my friends they're not fake and they're a thousand times more interesting than you say whatever you want but I'm a beauty queen now and you're no longer at the same level devil is me my friends started clenching their fists so I quickly pulled them away before anything happened right at that time an announcement came across the speaker attention pageants we've just discovered signs of voter fraud please stay inside the hall and await further confirmation about 30 minutes later the truth finally came out turns out Nina's mom had paid for the voting texts needless to say nah had her crown taken off her immediately and Mrs Harrington also lost her principal job what goes around comes around right as for me I'm not bothered about beauty pageants anymore instead I have a new hobby volleyball turns out I'm pretty good at it and who knows I might even become a professional player and you know what the best part of all this is I now have true friends by my side who I know will be willing to help me anytime and anywhere I was completely immersed in this beautiful Harmony that me and my dad were playing until what on Earth are you two doing startled I turned around to see siren standing there with fiery eyes oh God I came back to my senses at once and realized that next to me the man I was jamming with was not my dad but Isaac Z her boyfriend oh no what had I done I quickly wiped my tears away and was about to leave but Isaac took my hand and gave me this confused look being back here in this house was difficult enough without getting involved in this love triangle so I tried to pull my hand free and ran out of there yes it's me again Hazel in the last part of my story my friends embroiled me into helping their Idol Isaac and his actress girlfriend siren and escaped from the public eye for a bit now I'm stuck in my family's old home and having to confront my past all these memories flooded my mind some good some bad and before I knew it I was mixing the past with reality and that's how I accidentally played the piano with Isaac and made siren Green With Envy at that moment siren Swan open the door and charged toward me hey don't let me catch you flirting with my BF again excuse me what did you say he's not even my type besides having you as a love rival sounds like way more hassle than it's worth she gave me this lingering scowl clearly she was furious with me but she must have decided there was nothing else she could say on this matter however this didn't stop her from being the most demanding frustrating Diva on the planet she stuck her nose up at the food and drinks we served her and in insisted that she couldn't possibly consume anything that wasn't organic she threw the clothes that we lent her down the stairs cuz quote those vulgar outfits didn't suit her then she asked Ivy to go get her designer ones once Zoe even had to drive over an hour to the mall just for a few scented candles why you ask well siren accused me of exuding this bad energy that had been affecting her sleep and her well-being so she needed to cleanse the aura around here poof this was nonsense once her head touched the pillow she slept like a log it seems that living in the same house as their Idol and his girlfriend wasn't exactly all it's cracked up to be isn't that right Ivy and Zoe however contrary to siren the nightmare Isaac surprised me quite a lot by actually being a great help around the house he was an excellent cook and a dab hand at fixing things okay I admit that I used to think he was just one of those those useless CBS out there but it seems he had no problem with pulling his weight anyway this manner of his did somewhat make up for the obnoxious attitude of his girlfriend which made this whole thing a bit more bearable until this one time we were rowing on the river near the Mansion well I was rowing to be exact just me as what could we expect from our two superstars but it's pretty out here isn't it it was siren's bright idea as she wanted some new insta photos you're probably wondering where Zoe and Ivy are Yep they're scouring the shops a few Towns over for ethical fuagra look at her saying she's feeling sick she couldn't row but apparently she was well enough to smile for the camera and strike dozens of different poses suddenly siren decided to stand up to get better lighting which made the whole boat Shake I shouted at her to sit down but then before I properly knew what was going on the boat was turning sideways and I tumbled into the water I flailed my arms and legs out and tried my best to raise my head above the water but it was no use I couldn't stop myself from sinking beneath it I honestly believed this was it the world started to darken around me when suddenly an arm grabbed me and pulled me ashore Hazel can you hear me I slowly opened my eyes and saw Isaac's worried face peering down at me hazel thank goodness he gently helped me sit up then asked me if I was all right for a few fleeting moments the warmth from his body made me flush clearly nearly drowning had made me Delirious I mean I couldn't have feelings for him could I before I could Ponder on this thought anymore a drenched siren dripped her way over to us Isaac why did you rescue her instead of me siren this is not the time for being dramatic I was is hardly going to come to you an expert swimmer over Hazel who was actually drowning hearing Isaac say that she rolled her eyes then stormed off leaving a wet footprint trail in her wake the last thing we needed in the house was more tension so I immediately turned to him and said I was fine and he should go and sort things out with his girlfriend listen Hazel siren's not my girlfriend I don't like her in that way but as for you and me we clearly have a connection I stared at him in complete open-mouthed shock did he really just say that or perhaps I had a concussion and was imagining things siren's like my little sister I'll explain this later but first you need to rest then he wrapped his arms around me and guided me back to the house I spent the rest of that day in bed feeling feverish then at dawn the next morning I awoke to a commotion coming from downstairs guys [Music] what's all the noise about it's Isaac and siren they've gone and they've taken the car what that was our only mode of Transport out of here how could they be so selfish to just abandon us here like this we tried contacting Isaac countless times but no answer great here we are now in this remote area where it would take hours to even find a passer by to hitchhike not to mention how risky it' be he everything was a mess we were panicking when suddenly the door burst open and walked in a smiling armlink Isaac and siren where have you been you can't just leave like that without telling us OH Ivy lent us the car didn't she say anything both Zoe and I turned our gazes on Ivy she stammered but but I think you guys just went out for a while not disappeared all night unreachable relax all this tension will get give you wrinkles then siren smirked at me as she flicked back her hair then continued we went to a drive-in Cinema and it was so romantic we didn't want the evening to end so we strolled around town until the early hours what did she mean by that so much for him seeing her as a sister I felt like such a fool for believing his lies we altered our entire plans to help you both hide from society and this is how you thank us by pulling a stunt like this no more get out of here right now before anyone could say anything my phone buzzed it was my friend Erica she asked me if the stories about me being in love with Isaac were true huh what was she on about in my panic I ended the call and went online to check it out turns out on the Instagram account of the store where I customized our matching hoodies the shop owner had posted a photo of me wearing it naturally it didn't take the fan Maniacs long to do their research and find out all about me but worse still another current trending post was one from Isaac's management company confirming that we were officially dating what kind of nonsense is this I immediately told Isaac to call his company and put it on speaker Isaac we hit a jackpot you probably know the iconic pianist and composer Edward morett right Hazel morett is his daughter you you mean everyone gasped at me in shock maybe it's time for me to reveal the secrets of my past the truth that's been hidden for so long yes Edward morett is my father but I made a promise to myself 10 years ago that I would never speak to him again Isaac's manager continued to brazing talk about how the scandal with me would benefit Isaac's career so there was no need to hide it at that moment siren shouted what on Earth are you saying hey are you with siren again I already told you not to mess with that girl unless you want to get yourself in trouble shut up siren furiously grabbed Isaac's phone and ended the call Isaac tell everyone that the one you love is me not her siren we were never in love you're going too far what you guys aren't dating so we misunderstood it all from the beginning I knew right away there was something wrong yet you pretended to be his real girlfriend and treated us like your minions siren stood there with a red face fists clenched I gave you my heart but all you do is hurt me this time you've made a big mistake Isaac just wait and see siren left for her room but this time neither of us stopped her or comforted her the next morning we found out that siren was gone none of us knew where she was we all just hoped that she wasn't so fueled with anger that she'd cause us even more problems we quickly packed our things into the car preparing to return to our normal life when out of nowhere a bunch of reporters and journalists appeared and surrounded us Isaac Miss siren wild has accused M morett of wrecking your relationship is this true does that mean you ran away from all the shows to go on a secret date with m morrettes m morett your father was known for breaking not only yours but also another family apart oh for his own selfish needs are you following an his footsteps scary flashlights were everywhere suddenly I found myself transported back to that terrible day 10 years ago when dad's Affair went public and the reporters hounded Us in this exact same spot those heartless flashlights are just as intense now as they were back then a memory of my mom's distraught face popped into my mind puffy eyes tear stained cheeks a fearful look yet the reporters were Relentless vultures firing questions at her regardless of her vulnerable state that's the day I made a promise to myself that not only would I never pursue music but I'd also never forgive my father amid the Panic an arm pulled me into the car and we drove away from the crowd it was Isaac he put on some piano music to help calm me down and he continued driving eventually stopping at a small grocery store Hazel please drink this sorry for dragging you into all this the thing is I've been unhappy with my management company for a while now they won't let me make the music I want to but I didn't expect them to go as low as forcing me into their Web of Lies just for fame I know how you feel I used to long to become a Pianist like my dad but then he crushed my dreams to further his career he cheated on my mom with another married woman and left our family behind I grew to hate the complex world of artists I vowed to never become one of them and then I gradually began to despise the sound of the piano too I'm sorry to hear that story but art isn't to blame it reflects lies genuinely doesn't it I heard your piano Melodies and you are truly gifted be honest with your feelings and don't let anyone else interfere with them trying to deny your own passion and emotions will only make you miserable Isaac's right I'd let my dad's mistakes alter the pathway to my dreams not making music made me miserable I felt like there was a part of me missing one that nothing else could fill why should I be the one to suffer like this when it hadn't even been me that done anything wrong Look at me now can you believe it I've rekindled my passion for piano and now I'm happier than ever after all that Runway pop star drama Isaac left his management company and collaborated with me to make music for True art this is our latest charity event it's pretty neat huh that's all thanks to Zoe and Ivy they work for us now they're in charge of arranging our busy schedules and organizing our events the four of us make the best team I guess you're wondering what happened to siren last I heard she set her sights on her latest movie co-star H wish her good luck is all I can say as for Isaac and me well since the media claimed that we were a couple we might as well have turned that fake news into reality holy baloney who is that this guy was Next Level hot and there's more as I neared him he didn't run off looking afraid seeing me dumbfoundedly gasping Scarlet elbowed me wake up Chi we're late she giggled as she dragged to class I saw it never thought I'd see the day that Margot the Troublemaker would go all gooey eyed over some boy Scarlet teased me I blushed and was completely Tongue Tied I looking around awkwardly it's a shame you're basically a walking talking boy repellent yeah right I lowered my head to think and when I looked up Scarlet was texting probably some cringe overload message to her boyfriend ke I rested my chin on my hands and stared out of the window as I found myself daydreaming about that cute mystery guy what time do you call this are you trying to get me kicked out of this place for covering for you again um so I had something super important to do with Alfie important huh so I could end up in trouble for covering your butt because you want to pull some lame prank with that loser nuh-uh how many times do I have to tell you you we only pranked him once and that jerk totally deserved it about that jerk he's the captain of the basketball team and Alfie is my friend okay he might look a bit intimidating but he's a nice guy but that jock not only knocked Alie out with his basketball he also took his money out of his pocket when he was down we weren't going to let him get away with this so that night we snuck out and poured greasy cooking oil all over the field which made the old team slip and fall again and again it was hilarious unfortunately word of our involvement reached the principal so Scarlet had to call her dad to help me okay so this wasn't exactly the first time Scarlet had saved me she only got mad as she had to save Alfie's butt too even though she hates him come on I'm sorry would you mind it's midnight and we need to sleep shut up Smiley no one asked you fine go to bed and shut up so we can actually get some sleep those girly girls wake up princess the class is over I groggy got up and followed Scarlet like a zombie to the cafeteria but then I came to an abrupt halt there standing on the corner of the hallway was that handsome guy what on Earth is going on I've asked Keith to do some research now do you want my help or not I still froze and couldn't say anything OMG I'd never felt so nervous like this before I nodded while holding her arm huh wow so all it took for the mighty Margot to turn into a timid wreck with some dude oh and by the way he's called Jared and he's studying classical music very elegant huh I blurted out classical music this sucks I mean how's a girl like me ever going to reach his level don't worry I'll help you then she changed her attitude on one condition H you know what Scarlett demanded me to stop hanging out with Elfie cuz it was not good for the girly image I needed to get Jared's attention plus I wouldn't be allowed to pass the dorm's curfew if I broke these conditions then she wouldn't help me anymore fine I I agree sorry Elfie you'll just have to carry on without me Keith befriended Jared and asked him to come over to our school again to check on those pianos in the music room when there's an oops emergency he will leave Jared with me who it turns out is struggling with the piano genius as you can see this plan is going well so far just this dress was really suffocating me G but being around Jared seemed to suffocate me even more po luckily he was quite friendly so we started talking easily and now he's playing for me do you have any plans after school no not yet I'm about to go to this music Cafe in town would you like to join me oh mg of course I said yes does this count as a first date we actually had a lot of fun I was in seventh heaven on our way back I was startled when I saw Alfie across the street noticing me with Jared Elfie glared at me with this maddened wide-eyed look I gave him the shush sign and looked away no surprises my phone beeped you blew me off to hang out with that boy and what's with your clothes jeez Alfie was angry for sure but I couldn't do this right now I'd promised Scarlet I wouldn't talk to him anymore so I ignored the message and walked straight past him as soon as I arrived back at the dorm the girls coed around and asked me about the date they seemed so happy for me so when's the next date he asked me to come over to his school tomorrow and then we're going to have dinner ah the girl screamed in unison surprising as I didn't think these grumpy girls cared this much about me I was so excited about the date so I arrived early at Jared's school to find him practicing with another girl I walked into the room with a smile on my face and Jared introduced me to her mave then he told me to wait there and left to go to the bathroom this mave girl sniggered then looked me up and down and said give it up an unrefined girl like you doesn't deserve him huh what on Earth did I ever do to her angry I knocked over her music sheets she picked it up then sternly said just you wait I won't let you get away with it then she shoved past me and stormed off then at dinner I couldn't can't help it so that mave H our parents are very close so we've been friends since we were little and now we both study music she seems really into you I'm not so sure about that we're just friends so he doesn't like that mave girl I guess just forget about her I have a very important date with Jared and I need your help right at that moment a call from Alfie arrived but Scarlet was sitting right next next to me so I couldn't pick up after a few calls he texted me you got to help me this time I can't do it by myself oh God help me I didn't have the heart to abandon my friend so I decided to sneak out and go selfie okay so it's not what you think those times I was late weren't because we were up to no good we've been fixing up this abandoned house for these homeless kids instead this time one of those kids Kevin had a serious fever I had to help Alie borrow some money and take Kevin to the hospital I tried to be deadly quiet as I crept into the dorm room but I swear Scarlet is the lightest sleeper in existence and sure enough she was there waiting for me oh hi Margo it's nice of you to join us yeah sorry it was um an emergency you just can't help yourself can you you broke our agreement to go hang out with that Thug friend of yours I'm not helping you ever again this sucked it looked like I was on my own this is it my big date with Jared his dad's the conductor here and from what I can gather that's a massive deal without Scarlet to help me find the right dress for this event was a nightmare oh man everyone looked so luxurious and classy I felt like a sore thumb this obviously wasn't the world I belonged to but Jared's gentle smile SU soothed me down a lot but soon mave was coming towards us G Jared darling congrats I think this concert will be amazing oh it's you again nice dress she was really pulling on my leg but stay calm now breathe breathe then they both talked about mosart Beethoven I didn't understand a thing as well as the whole concert I didn't understand either afterward Jared led me over to his parents OMG this was scary I gave them the bouquet of flowers I've prepared and congratulated them on the concert luckily they both seemed really friendly and were really content with my gift but then mave appeared and hugged Jared's mom Jared it's lovely to be around such polite girls smirking mave replied I wouldn't be so sure about that Margo here likes hiding her true personality okay so I may have failed to keep my cool and blurted out some bad words oops Jared and his parents looked shocked by this but before I could try and rectify the situation ma pulled out her phone and waved around a photo of me with Alfie I wanted to explain but I just ended up stuttering out a load of nonsense in the end Jared pulled me aside and told me I think it's best if you just leave I ran out of there close to tears we're still I couldn't run in this dumb dress I'd lost Jared and it was past curfew so if I went back now Scarlet would get mad at me so I decided that I wasn't going to go back nope instead I was going to run away I'd been staying here for a couple of days I feel safe here and Alfie bought me some clothes and food why is she here I wasn't in the mood for a lecture but to my surprise she rushed over to me and wrapped her arms around me how could you just leave me like that have you any idea how worried I've been anyway Alfie told me everything I'm sorry for misjudging you she pulled away you do stink though there's one more person who wants to see you Margo I looked at him with confusion then at the door it was Jared Margo when I saw that photo I was shocked I thought I must be some joke to you and you were really with Alfie but then I couldn't stop thinking about you now I've spoken to scarlet and Alie I know better I like you Margo the real you and I don't want you to think you have to change for me do you think you can give this idiot another chance I hesitated pretending that it was something I had to think about then smirking I shouted out yes and rushed into his arms so what now well I'm back in the dorm and yep I still sneak out and yep Scarlet still covers for me Jared and I are an official couple and he's even helping me with a fundraiser concert to help out the homeless kids so I guess that this tough girl is actually not so tough after all | MSA STORY Animated |

Barrie | Historical Fiction, Published 1900 onward | English | 1/2 | part one of echoes of the war this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org recording by James Carson echoes of the war by JM Barrie part 1 the old lady shows her medals three nice old ladies and a criminal who is even nicer are discussing the war over a cup of tea the criminal who is the hostess calls it a dish of tea which shows that she comes from Caledonia but that is not her crime they are all London char women but three of them including the hostess are what are called professionally char women and or simply hands and and is also a caretaker when required her name is entered as such an inked in a registry book financial transactions take place across a counter between her and the registrar and altogether she is of a very different social status from one who like a mrs. Haggerty is a char woman but nothing else mrs. Haggerty though present is not at the party by invitation having seen mrs. doughy buying the winkles she followed her downstairs so has shuffled into the play and sat down in it against our wish we would remove her by force or at least print her name in small letters work not that she takes offence very readily and says that nobody respects her so as you have slipped in you sit there mrs. Haggerty but keep quiet there is nothing doing at present in the caretaking way for mrs. Joey our hostess but this does not damp her caretaking being only to such as she an extra financially and a halo socially if he had the honor of being served that income tax paper she would probably fill in one of the nasty little compartments with the words trade charring profession if any caretaking this home of hers from which to look after your house she makes occasionally temporary departures in great style escorting a barrow is in one of those what to care I streets that you discover only when you have lost your way on discovering them your duty is to report to them to the authorities who immediately add them to the map of London that is why we are now reporting Friday Street we shall call it in the rough sketch drawn for tomorrow's press Street in which the criminal resided and you will find mrs. Joey's home therein marked with an X her abode really consists of one room but she maintains that there are two so rather than argue let us say that there are two the other one has no window and she could not swish her old skirts in it without knocking something over its grandest display is of tin pans and a crockery on top of a dresser which has a lid to it you have but to whip off the utensils and raise the lid and behold a bath with hot and cold missus dowry is very proud of this possession and when she shows it off as she does perhaps too frequently she first signs to you with closed fist funny old thing that she is to approach softly she then tiptoes to the dresser and pops off the lid as if to take the bath unawares then she sucks her lips and is modest if you have the grace to do the exclamations in the real room is a bed though that is putting the matter too briefly the fairway to begin if you love mrs. Dawley is to say to her that it is a pity she has no bed if she is her best form she will chuckle and agree that the want of a bed tries her sewer she will keep you on the hooks so to speak as long as she can and then with that Mouse like movement again she will suddenly spring the bed on you you thought it was a wardrobe but she brings it down from the wall and too low a bed there is nothing else in her abode which we now seem to contain four rooms kitchen pantry bedroom and bathroom that is absolutely a surprise but it is full of bits every one of which has been paid ready money for and gloated over and attended until it has become part of its owner genuine doughies the dealers might call them though there is probably nothing in the place except the bed that would fetch half a crown her home is in the basement so that of the few is restricted to the lower half of persons passing overhead beyond the area stairs here after the window mrs. doe a sometimes sits of a summer evening gazing not sentimentally at a flower pot which contains one poor bulb nor yearningly at some tiny speck of sky but with unholy relish at holes in stockings and of the like which are revealed to her from her point of Vantage you gentle reader may flaunt by thinking that your finery or the street but mrs. doe a can tell and does that your souls are in need of neat repair also lower parts being as expressive as the face to those whose view is thus limited she could swear to scores of the passers-by in a court of law these four lively old codgers are having a good time out of the tea table and wit is flowing free as you can see by their everyday garments and by their pails and mops which are having a little tea party by themselves in the corner it is not a gathering by invitations stretching away into yesterday it is a purely informal affair so much more attractive don't you think than banquets elaborately pre-arranged you know how they come about especially in wartime very likely mrs. doe II met mrs. twillie and mrs. McCollum quite casually in the street and meant to do no more than the time of day then naturally enough the word camouflage was mentioned and they got heated but in the end mrs. twillie apologized then in the odd way in which one thing leads to another the wincle man appeared and mrs. Dow he remembered that she had that pot of jam and that mrs. Mickleham had stood treat last time and assumed they were all three descending the area stairs followed cringing Lee by the Haggerty woman they have been extremely merry and never were for hard worked old ladies who deserved it better all a woman could do in wartime they do daily and cheerfully just as their menfolk are doing it out of the front and now with the mops and the pails laid aside they sprawl gracefully at ease there is no intention on their part to consider peace terms until a decisive victory has been gained in the field Sarah and Aoi until the Kaiser is put to the right about Emma Mickleham and singing very small Amelia to Emily at this tea party the lady who is to play the part of mrs. Dow he is sure to want to suggest that our heroine has a secret sorrow namely the crime but you should see us knocking that idea out of her head mrs. dowing knows she is a criminal but unlike the actress she does not know that she is about to be fine found out and she is to put it bluntly in her own Scotch way the merriest of the whole clam jam free she presses more tea on her guests but they wave her away from them in the pretty manner of ladies who know that they have already had more than enough missus doughy just one more Winkle missus Mickleham indeed there is only one more but missus Mickleham indicates politely that if she took this one it would have to swim for it the hacker tea woman takes it long afterwards when she thinks erroneously that no one is looking missus trimly is sulking evidently someone has contradicted her probably the hacker tea woman mrs. trimly I say it is so the hacker tea woman I say it may be so missus trimly I suppose I ought to know me that has a son a prisoner in Germany she has so obviously scored that all good feeling seems to call upon her to end here but she continues rather shabbily being the only lady present that has that proud misfortune the others are stone mrs. doughy my son is fighting in France mrs. Mickleham mine is wounded in two places the Haggerty woman mine is at Saloniki the absurd pronunciation of this uneducated person moves the others to mirth mrs. doe e you'll excuse us mrs. Haggerty but the correct pronunciation is Saloniki the Haggerty woman to cover her confusion I don't think she feels that even this does not prove her case and I speak as one that has war saving certificates mrs. trimly we all have them the hacker d woman whimpers and the other guests guard her with unfeeling disdain missus doughy to restore a cheerfulness oh it's a terrible war all brightening it is you may say so mrs. Dow he encouraged what I say is the men is splendid but I'm done so easy about the staff that's your weak point mrs. McCollum mrs. Mickleham on the defense but determined to reveal nothing that might be of use to the enemy you may take it from me the staffs all right mrs. doughy and very relieved I am to hear you say it it is here that the Haggerty woman has the remaining Winkle mrs. nickel hem you don't understand properly about a trench warfare if I had a map mrs. dolly wetting her finger to draw lines on the table that's the river saw me now if we had barrage is here mrs. Chumley very soon you would be and flighted where's your supports my lady mrs. Dow is damped mrs. Mickleham what none of you grasps is that this is a heart Tillery war the Haggerty woman strengthened to by the Winkle I say that the word is son and I key the others purse their lips mrs. Chumley with terrible meaning we'll change the subject have you seen this week's fashion chat she has evidently seen and devoured it herself and even licked up the crumbs the gabardine with accordion pleats has quite gone out mrs. Dow her old face sparkling my sake you tell me mrs. trimly with the touch of haughtiness that comes of great topics the plain smock has come in again with silk lacing giving that charming chic effect mrs. Dawa Oh mrs. nickel ham I must say I was always partial to the straight line thoughtfully regarding the want of line in Miss trembley's person though trying to them as is of too friendly a figure it is here that the hacker t woman's fingers closed on ostentatiously upon a piece of sugar missus trimly sailing into the Empyrean lady dolly canister was seen conversing across the railings in a dainty did you mrs. doughy fine would I have liked to see her missus trimly she is equally popular as maid wife and ammunition worker her two children is inset lady pops Babbington was married in a tight tool mrs. Mickleham what was her going-away dress mrs. Chumley a champagne e green velvet with dreamy corsage she's married to Colonel the Honorable Chingford snubs they called him at Eton the Haggerty woman having disposed of the sugar very likely he'll be sent to Saloniki mrs. Mickleham wherever he is sent she'll have the same tremors as the rest of us she will be as keen to get to the letters wrote with pencils as you or me mrs. Chumley them pencil letters mrs. doe e in her sweet scotch voice timidly afraid she may be going too far and women in enemy lands gets those pencil letters and then stopped getting them the same as ourselves let's occasionally think of that she has gone too far chairs are pushed back the Haggerty woman I ask you mrs. Mickleham that's hardly language mrs. doughy mrs. doe e scared kindly excuse I swear to death I'm none of your pacifists mrs. Mickleham freely granted mrs. Chumley I've heard of females who have no male relations and so they have no man party at the wars I've heard of them but I don't mix with them mrs. Mickleham what can the likes of us have to say to them it's not their war mrs. doe a wistfully they are to be pitied mrs. Mickleham but of the place for them mrs. Dow he is within doors with the blinds down mrs. doe a hurriedly that's the place for them mrs. Mickleham I saw one of them today buying a flag I thought it was very impudent of her mrs. dahui meekly so it was mrs. Mickleham trying to look modest with indifferent success I had a letter from my son Percy yesterday mrs. Chumley Alfred sent me his photo the Haggerty woman letters from Sola Nike is less common three bosoms heave but not alas mrs. doe ease nevertheless she dogged Lee knits her lips mrs. dolly the criminal Kenneth writes to me every week there are exclamations the dauntless old thing holds aloft a packet of letters look at this all his the hacker T woman whimpers mrs. trimly Alfred has little time for writing being a bomba dear mrs. Dewayne relentlessly do your letters begin dear mother mrs. Chumley generally mrs. mickleham invariable the Haggerty woman every time mrs. dolly delivering the knockout blow Kenneth's begin dearest mother no one can think of the right to reply mrs. trimly doing her best a short man I should say judging by yourself she ought to have left it alone mrs. dolly six feet two and a half the groom deepens mrs. Mickleham against her better judgment a Kielty did you tell me mrs. dolly most certainly he's in the famous black watch the Haggerty woman producing her handkerchief the Surrey rifles is the famous cyst mrs. Nichol hem there you and the king disagrees mrs. Haggerty his choice is the Buffs same as my Percy's mrs. trimly magnanimously give me the RH a and you can keep all the rest mrs. doughy I'm sure I have nothing to say against the Suri's and the RH a and the Buffs but they are just breaches regiments I understand the Haggerty woman we can't all be kill T's mrs. doe e crushingly that's very true mrs. trimly it is foolish of her but she can't help saying it has your Kenneth's great hairy legs mrs. doe a tremendous the wicked woman but let us also say poor Sarah and Dowie for at this moment enter nemesis in other words the less important part of a clergyman appears upon the stair mrs. nickel ham it's the Reverend gent mrs. doughy little knowing what he is bringing her I see he has had his boots healed it may be said of mr. willings that his happy smile always walks in front of him this smile makes music of his life it means that once again he has been chosen in his opinion as the central figure in romance no one can well have led a more drab existence but he will never know it he will always think of himself humbly though elatedly as the chosen of the gods of him must it have been originally written that adventures are for the adventurous he meets them at every street corner for instance he assists in all the lady off a bus and asks her if he can be of any further help she tells him that she wants to know the way to Maddox the butchers then comes the kind triumphant smile always comes first followed by its explanation I was there yesterday this is the merest sample of the adventures that keep mr. willings up to the mark since the war broke out his zest for life has become almost terrible he can scarcely lift a newspaper and read of a hero without remembering that he knows someone of the name the soldiers rest he is connected with was once a china emporium and mark my words he had bought his tea service at it such as life when you are in the thick of it sometimes he feel that he is part of a gigantic spy drama in the course of his extraordinary comings and goings he meets with great personages of course and is the confidential recipient of secret news before imparting the news he does not as you might expect first smile expensively on the contrary there comes over his face and awful solemnity which however means the same thing when divulging the names of the percentages he first looks around to make sure that no suspicious character is about and then lowering his voice tells you I had that from mr. farthing himself he is the Secretary of the Bethan all green branch hush there is a commotion about finding a worthy chair for the Reverend and there is also some furtive pulling down of sleeves but he stands surveying the ladies through his triumphant smile this amazing man knows that he is about to score again mr. willings waving aside to the chairs I thank you but not at all friends I have news mrs. Mickleham news the Haggerty woman from the front mrs. twillie my Alfred sir they are all grown suddenly anxious all except the hostess who knows that there can never be any news from the front for her mr. willings I tell you at once that all is well the news is for mrs. doughy she stares mrs. doughy news for me mr. willings your son mrs. doughy he has got five days leave she shakes her head slightly or perhaps it only trembles a little on its stem no no good news doesn't kill mrs. Twombly we're glad mrs. dolly mrs. dolly you're sure mr. willings quite sure he has arrived mrs. dolly he is in London mr. willings he is I have spoken to him mrs. Mickleham you lucky woman they might see that she is not looking lucky but experience has told them how differently these things take people mister willings marveling more and more as he hen Falls his tale ladies it is quite a romance I was in the he looks around cautiously but he knows that they are all to be trusted in the church army quarters in Central Street trying to get on the track of one or two of our missing men suddenly my eyes I can't account for it but suddenly my eyes alighted on a Highlander seated rather clearly on a bench with his kit at his feet the Haggerty woman a big man mr. willings a great brawny fellow the Haggerty woman groans my friend I said at once welcome back to Blighty I make a point of calling its Blighty I wonder I said if there is anything I can do for you he shook his head what regiment I asked here mr. willings very properly lowers his voice to a whisper Blackwatch 5th battalion he said name I asked Dao he he said mrs. Mickleham I declare I do declare mr. willings showing how the thing was done with the help of a chair I put my hand on his shoulder as it be thus Kenneth da we I said I know your mother mrs. dolly wetting her lips What did he say to that mr. willings he was incredulous indeed he seemed to think I was balmy but I offered to bring him straight to you I told him how much you have talked to me about him mrs. dolly bring him here mrs. Mickleham I wonder he needed to be brought mr. willings he had just arrived and was bewildered by the great city he listened to me in the taciturn Scotch way and then he gave a curious laugh mrs. twillie a laugh mr. willings whose while that life had brought him into contact with the strangest people the Scotch mrs. twillie expressed their emotions differently from us with them tears signify a rollicking mood while merriment denotes that they are plunged in gloom when I had finished he said at once let us go and see the old lady mrs. dolly backing which is the first movement she has made since he began his tale is he coming mr. willings gloriously he has come he is up there I told him I thought I had better break the joyful news to you three women rushed to the window mrs. dolly looks at her pantry door but perhaps she remembers that it does not lock on the inside she stands rigid though her face has gone very gray mrs. dolly kindly get them to go away mr. willings ladies I think this happy occasion scarcely requires you he is not the man to ask of woman a sacrifice that he is not prepared to make himself I also am going instantly they all survey mrs. doe a and understand or think they understand mrs. trimly pail and mop in hand I would thank none for their accompany if my Alfred was at the door mrs. Mickleham similarly burdened the same from me shall I send him down mrs. Dolly the old lady does not hear her she is listening terrified for a step on the stairs look at the poor joyous thing sir she has his letters in her hand the three women go mr. willings puts a kind hand on mrs. dowas shoulder he thinks he so thoroughly understands the situation mr. willings a good son mrs. dolly to have written to you so often our old criminal quakes but she grips the letters more tightly private Dowie descends dowing my friend there she is waiting for you with your letters in her hand dow a grimly that's great Crysta willings ascends the stair without one backward glance like the good gentleman he is and of the doughies are left together with nearly the whole room between them he is a great rough chunk of Scotland hocked out of her not so much neatly as liberally and in his black watch uniform all caked with mud his kit and nearly all his worldly possessions on his back he is an apparition scarcely less fearsome but so much less ragged than those ancestors of his who trotted with Prince Charlie to Darby he stands silent scowling at the old lady daring her to raise her head and as she would like very much to do it for she longs to have a first glimpse of her son when he does speak it is to jeer at her do you recognise your loving son mrs. over the fine Scotch tang of him she thinks I'm pleased I wrote so often oh but he's raised she thinks he strides towards her and a seizes the letter is roughly let's see them there is a string round at the package and he and and examines the letters at his leisure with much curiosity the envelopes are in order all addressed in pencil to mrs. doe e with the proud words opened by sensor on them but the letter paper inside contains not a word of writing nothing but blank paper is this your writing in pencil on the envelope she nods and he gives the matter further consideration the Covey told me you were a charwoman so I suppose you picked the envelopes out of waste paper baskets or suchlike and then changed the addresses she nods again still she dare not look up but she is admiring his legs when however he would cast the letters into the fire she flames up with sudden spirit she clutches them don't you burn them letters mister they're not real letters they're all I have he turns in irony I thought you had a son I never had a man nor a son or anything I just call myself mrs. to give me a standing well it's past my singing through he turns to look for some explanation from the walls she gets a peep at him at last oh what a grandiy setup man oh the stride of him oh the noble rage of him Oh Samson had been like this before that woman took him in hand he whirls round on her what made you do it it was everybody's war mister except mine she beats her arms I wanted it to be my war too you'll need to be plainer and yet I'm damned if I care to hear you you lying old trickster the words are merely what were to be expected and so are n durable but he has moved toward the door you're not going already mister yes I just came to give you an ugly piece of my mind she holds out her arms longingly you haven't gave it to me yet you have a cheek she gives further proof of it you wouldn't drink some tea me I tell you I came here for the one purpose of blazing away at you it is such a roaring negative that it blows her into a chair but she is up again in a moment is this spirited old lady you could drink the tea while you are blazing away there's winkles is there he turns interestedly towards the table but his proud Scott's character checks him which is just as well for what she would have said was that there had been wrinkles not me you're just a common rogue he seats himself far from the table now then out with it sit down she sits meekly there is nothing she would not do for him as you char I suppose you are on your feet all day I'm more on my knees that's where you should be to me Oh mister I'm willing stop it go on you accomplished liar it is true my name is Dolly it's enough to make me change mine I've been charring and charring and charring as far back as I mind I've been in London this 20 years we'll skip your early days I have an appointment and then when I was old the war broke out how could it affect you Oh mister that's the thing it didn't affect me it affected everybody but me the neighbors look down on me even the posters on the walls of the woman saying go my boy leered at me I sometimes cried by myself in the dark you won't have a cup of tea no sudden like the idea came to me to pretend I had a son you depraved old Limor but what in the name of Old Nick made you choose me out of the whole British Army mrs. doughy giggles there is little doubt that in her youth she was an accomplished flirt maybe mister it was because I liked you best now now woman I read one day in the papers in which he was assisted by private a 5th battalion Blackwatch private K Dow is flattered did you now well I expect that's the only time I was ever in the papers mrs. Dow he tries it on again I didn't choose you for that alone I read a history of the Black Watch first to make sure it was the best regiment in the world anybody could have told you that he is moving about now in better humor and meeting the loaf in his stride he cuts a slice from it he is hardly aware of this but mrs. Dow n knows I like the scotch voice of your woman it drummel Zahn like a hilburn pose and water runs by where I was born flirting again maybe it teached to me to speak mr. canny woman Kenny I read about the black watch's ghostly Piper that plays proudly when the men of the Black Watch do well and prouder when they fall there's some foolish story of that kind he has another careless slice off the loaf but you couldn't have been living here at at that time or they would have guessed I suppose you flitted yes it cost me 11 and sixpence how did you guess the K in my name stood for Kenneth does it Huff an angel whispered it to me in my sleep well that's the only angel in the whole black business he chuckles you little thought I would turn up willing suddenly on her or did you I was beginning to weary for a sight of you Kenneth what word was that mister he helps himself to butter and she holds out the jam pot to him but he heartily rejects it do you think she gives in now not a bit of it he returns to sarcasm I hope you're pleased with me now you see me I'm very pleased does your folk live in Scotland Glasgow both living I is your mother terrible proud of you naturally you'll be going to them after I've had a Skype in London first the old lady sniffs so she's in London who your young lady are you jealous not me you need to be she's a young thing you surprised me a beauty no doubt you may be sure he tries the jam she's a titled person she is equally popular as maid wife and ammunition worker mrs. dolly remembers lady dolly canister so familiar to readers of fashionable gossip and a very leery expression indeed comes in to her face tell me more about her man she has sent me a lot of things especially cakes and a worsted waistcoat with a loving message on the enclosed card the old lady is now in a quiver of excitement she loses control of her arms which jump excitedly this way and that you'll try one of my cakes mister not me they're of my own making no I thank you but with the funny little run she is in the pantry and back again she planks down a cake before him at sight of which he gapes what's the matter tell me Oh tell me mister that's exactly the kind of cake that her ladyship sends me mrs. Dow he is now a very glorious old character indeed is the waistcoat right mister I hope the Black Watch colors pleased you what was it you I dared not give my own name you see and I was always reading hers in the papers the badgered man looms over her terrible for the last time woman is there no getting rid of you are you angry he sits down with a groan oh he'll give me some tea she rushes about preparing a meal for him every bit of her wanting to cry out to every other bit hole glory glory glory for a moment she hovers behind his chair Kenneth she murmurs what he asks no longer aware that she is taking a Liberty nothing she says just Kenneth and is off gleefully for the tea caddy but when his tea is poured out and he has drunk a Saucerful the instinct of self-preservation returns to him between two bites don't you be thinking missus for one minute that you have got me no no on that understanding he on bends I have a theater tonight followed by a Randy dandy Oh Kenneth this is a queer first meeting it is woman oh it is guardedly and it is also a last meeting yes yes so here's to you you old mop and pail Ave at Quay valet what's that that means hail and farewell are you a scholar being scotch there's almost nothing I don't know what was you trade Carter glazier or a man any rough jobs you're a proper man to look at I'm generally admired she's an envied able woman who your mother Hey oh that was just protecting myself from you I have neither father nor mother no wife nor grandmama bitterly this party never even knew who his proud parents were is that gleaming is that true it's gospel heaven be praised ain't none of that I was a fool to tell you but don't think you can take advantage of it pass the cake I dare say it's true we'll never meet again Kenneth but but if we do I wonder where it will be not in this world there's no telling leering ingratiatingly it might be at Berlin Todd if I ever get to Berlin I believe I'll find you there waiting for me with a cup of tea for you in my hand yes and heartily very good tea too he had partaken heavily he is now in high good-humour Kenneth we could come back by Paris all the ladies slapping his knees likes to go to Paris Oh Kenneth Kenneth if just once before I die I could be fitted for a Paris gown with dreamy corsage you're all alike old Covey we have a song about it he sings missus Gill is very ill nothing will improve her but to see the Twitter ease and wattle through the Louvre no song ever had a greater success mrs. Dao he is doubled up with mirth when she comes to when they both come to four there are a pair of them she cries you must learn me that and off she goes in song also mrs. doe is very ill nothing can improve her stop cries clever Kenneth and finishes the verse but dressed it up in a Paris gown to Waddle through the Louvre they fling back their heads she points at him he points at her she says ecstatically hairy legs a mad remark which brings him to his senses he remembers who and what she is mind your manners rising well thank you for my tea I must be stepping poor mrs. doughy he is putting on his kit where are you living he sighs that's the question but there's a place called the hut where some of the second Battalion are they'll take me in beggars bitterly can't be choosers beggars I've never been here before if you knew a shadow coming over him what it is to be in such a place without a friend I was crazy with glee when I got my leave at the thought of seeing London at last but after wandering its streets for four hours I would almost have been glad to be back in the trenches if you knew he has said but indeed the old lady knows that's my conundrum to Kenneth he nodded sympathetically I'm sorry for you you poor old body shouldering his kit but I see no way out of it for either of us a cooing boy says do you not are you at it again she knows that it must be Now or Never she has left her biggest guns for the end in her excitement she is rising up and down on her toes Kenneth I've heard that the thing a man on leave longs for more than anything else is a bed with sheets and a bath you never heard anything truer go into that pantry Kenneth dally and lifteth the dresser top and tell me what you see he goes there is an awful stillness he returns impressed it's a kind of Bath you could do yourself there pretty half at a time me there's a woman through the wall that would be very willing to give me a shakedown till your leave is up he snorts oh is there she has not got him yet but there is still one more gun Kenneth look with these simple words she lets down the bed she says no more an effect like this would be spoiled by language fortunately he is not made of stone he thrills my word that's the Dodge we needed the trenches that's your bed Kenneth mine he grins at her you queer old divert what can make you so keen to be burdened by a lump like me hehehe I tell you I'm the Communist kind of man I'm just the Communist kind of old wifey myself I've been a kickabout all my life and I'm no great shakes at the war yes you are how many Germans have you killed just two for certain and there was no glory in it it was just because they wanted to my shirt your shirt well they said it was their shirt have you took prisoners I once took half a dozen but that was a poor affair too how could one man take half a dozen just in the usual way I surrounded them Kenneth you're just my ideal you're easily pleased he turns again to the bed let's see how the thing works he needs the mattress with his fist and the result is so satisfactory then he puts down his kit old lady if you really want me I'll bide oh-oh-oh her joy is so demonstrative that he has to drop a word of warning but mind you I don't accept you as a relation for your personal glory you can go on pretending to the neighbors but to the best I can say for you is that you're on your probation I'm a cautious character and we must see how you'll turn out yes Kenneth and now I think for that bath my theatre begins at 6:30 a Cove I met on the bus is going with me she is a little alarmed you're sure you'll come back yes yes handsomely I leave my kit in pledge you won't lick her up to freely Kenneth you're the first chuckling to care whether I do or not nothing she has said has pleased the lonely man so much of this I promised Tod I'm beginning to look forward to being awakened in the morning by hearing you cry get up you lazy swine I've kind of envy two men that had women folk with the right to say that he is passing to the bathroom when a diverting notion strikes him what is it Kenneth the theatre it would be show ear if I took a lady mrs. Dao a feels a thumping at her breasts Kenneth tell me this instant what you mean don't keep me on the jumps he turns her around no it couldn't be done was it me you were thinking of just for the moment regretfully but you have no style she catches hold of him by the sleeve not in this of course but Oh Kenneth if you saw me in my merino it's laced up in the back in the very latest hmm doubtfully but let's see it it is produced from a draw to which the old lady runs with almost indecent taste the connoisseur examines it critically looks none so bad have you a bit of chiffon for the neck it's not bombs nor Kaiser's nor temporaries that men of the trenches think of it's chiffon I swear I have Kenneth and I have a bangle and a muff and gloves IIE considers do you think you could to give your face less of a homely look I'm sure I could then you can have a try but mind you I promise nothing all will depend on the effect he goes into the pantry and the old lady is left alone not alone for she is ring drowned by entrancing hopes and dreadful fears they beam on her and jeer at her they pull her this way and that with difficulty she breaks through them and rushes to her pale hot water soap and a looking-glass our last glimpse of her for this evening shows her staring not discontentedly at her soft old face licking her palm and pressing it to her hair her eyes are sparkling one evening a few days later mrs. trimly and mrs. Mickleham are in mrs. dowas house awaiting the ladies returned from some fashionable dissipation they have undoubtedly been discussing the war for the first words we catch are mrs. Mickleham I tell you flat Emelia eyebrows no need to junk Erdem mrs. twillie sitting here by the fire you and me as one to another what do you think will happen after the war are we to go back to being as we were mrs. mickleham speaking for myself Amelia not to me the war has awakened me up to an understanding of my own importance that is really astonishing mrs. tomley same here instead of being the pool worms the like of you and me thought we was we turns out to be visible departments of a great and haughty Empire they are well underway and with a little luck we might now hear their views on various passing problems of the day such as the neglect of Science in our public schools but in comes the hacker Dee woman and spoils everything she is a tired like them in her best but to the effect of her is that her clothes have gone out for a walk leaving her at home mrs. Mickleham with deep distaste hears that submarine again the Haggerty woman cringes to them but gets no encouragement the Haggerty woman it's a terrible war mrs. twillie is that so the Haggerty woman I wonder what will happen when it ends mrs. Mickleham I have no idea the intruder produces her handkerchief but does not use it after all she is in her best the Haggerty woman are they not back yet perfect ladies must reply to a direct question mrs. Mickleham no I silly we have been waiting this half-hour they are at the theater again the Haggerty woman you tell me I just popped in with an insignificant present for him as his leave is up mrs. trimly the same errand brought us Haggerty woman my present is cigarettes they have no intention of telling her what their presents are but of the secret leaps from them mrs. Mickleham so is mine mrs. trimly mine too triumph of the Haggerty woman but it is short-lived mrs. Mickleham mine has gold tips mrs. Chumley so has mine the Hackett e woman need not say a word you have only to look at her to know that her cigarettes are not gold tipped she tries to brazen it out which is so often a mistake the Haggerty woman what care I mine are exquisite OHS no wonder they titter mrs. Mickleham excuse me mrs. Haggerty if that's your name but the where it is exquisite O's the hacker D woman much obliged weeps missus Mickleham I think I heard a taxi mrs.

Nichol hem the new Astrakhan jacket he gave her with Venus sleeves the Haggerty woman has she sold her gabardine coat mrs. Mickleham not her she has them both at the theater warm night though it is she's wearing the Astrakhan and carrying the gabardine flung careless like over her arm the Haggerty woman I saw her strutting about with him yesterday looking as if she thought of the two of them made a procession mrs. twillie hush beeping strike me dead if she's not coming mincing down the stair hooked on his arm indeed it is thus that mrs. doughy enters perhaps she had seen shadows looking in the blind and at once hooked on to Kenneth to impress the visitors she is quite capable of it now we see what Kenneth saw that afternoon five days ago when he emerged from the bathroom and found the old trembler awaiting his inspection here are the muff and the gloves under the chiffon and such a kind old bonnet that it makes you laugh at once I don't know how to describe it but it is trimmed with a kiss as bonnet should be when the wearer is old and frail we must take the merino for granted until she steps out of the Astrakhan she is dressed up to the nines there is no doubt about it yes but is her face less homely above all has she style the answer is in a stout affirmative ask Kenneth he knows many a time he has had to go behind a door to roar hilariously at the old and lady he has thought of her as a lark to tell his mates about by-and-by but for some reason that he can Pratham he knows now that he will never do that mrs. doughy Kenneth affecting surprise we have visitors dally your servant ladies he is no longer mud-caked and dour a very smart figure is this private Joey and he winks engagingly at the visitors like one who knows that for jolly company you cannot easily beat charwomen the pleasantries that he and they have exchanged this week the sauce he has given them the wit of mrs. knuckle hams retorts the bandage of mrs. twillie the neat giggles of the Haggerty woman there has been nothing like it since you took the countess in to dinner mrs. trimly we should apologize we're not meaning to stay mrs. dolly you are very welcome just wait the ostentation of this till I get out of my Astrakhan and my muff and my gloves and it's the bonnets turn now my Excel sure at last we see her in the Marino a triumph mrs. Mickleham you've given her a glory time mr. Dahle Joey it's her that has given it to me mrs. mrs. doughy hey hey hey hey he just pampers me waggling her fists the Lord forgive us but this being the last night we had a sit-down supper at a restaurant vehemently I swear by God that we had champagne e wine there is a dead stillness and she knows very well what it means she has even prepared for it and to them as doubts my word here's the cork she places the cork in his lovely gold drapery upon the table mrs. Merkle ham I'm sure mrs. trimly I would thank you mrs. Downey not to say a word against my Alfred mrs. Dawley me Dow eh come come ladies in the masterful way that is so hard for women to resist if you say another word I'll kiss the lot of you there is a moment of pleased confusion mrs. Mickleham really them sagres the Haggerty woman the kill T's is the worst mrs. twillie I'm sure heartily we don't grudge you your treats mrs. doughy and no sorry we are that this is the end Joey yes it's the end with a troubled look at his old lady I must be off in 10 minutes the little soul is too gallant to break down and company she hurries into the pantry and shuts the door mrs. Mickleham poor thing but we must run for you'll be having some last words to say to her Joey I kept her out long on purpose so as to have less time to say the men he more than half wishes that he could make a bolt to a public house mrs. trimly it's the best way in the important affairs of life there is not much that anyone can teach a charwoman just a mere nothing to wish you well mr. da we all three present him with the cigarettes mrs. nickel am a scraping as one might say the Haggerty woman the heart and egg matically is warm though it may not be gold tipped Dow au bricks the lady's good luck cocky dally the same to you and if you see a soldier man up there in a kilt he is one that is going back with me tell him not to come down but but to give me till the last minute and then to whistle it is quite a grave man who is left alone thinking what to do next he tries a hoarse laugh but that proves of no help he says he'll to himself but it is equally ineffective then he opens the pantry door and calls old lady she comes timidly to the door her hand up as if to ward off a blow is it time an encouraging voice answers her no no not yet I've left worried for Dixon to whistle when go I must all is ended now then you promised to be gay we were to help one another yes Kenneth it's bad for me but it's worse for you the men have medals to win you see the women have their medals too he knows she likes him to order her about so he tries it again come here no I'll come to you he stands gaping at her wonderingly he has no power of words nor does he quite know what he would like to say God what is it Kenneth you're a woman I had near forgot it he wishes he was at the station with Dixon Dixon is sure to have a bottle in his pocket they will be roaring a song presently but in the meantime there is that Sun business blathers the whole thing of course or mostly blathers but it's the way to please her have you noticed you have never called me son have I noticed it I was feared Kenneth you said I was on probation and so you were well the probations ended he laughs uncomfortably the like of me but if you want me you can have me Kenneth will I do woman artfully gay don't be so

my son --is-- feelings for you wait till I get my mop to you and if you're not willing to be my mother I swear I'll never ask another the old divert pulls him down to her and strokes his hair was I a well-behaved infant mother not you Sonny you were a rampaging rogue was I slow when learning to walk the quickest in our street hehe she starts up was that the whistle no no see here in taking me over

style now listen I've sent in your name as being my nearest of kin and your allowance will be coming to you weekly in the usual way hey hey hey hey is it wicked Kenneth I'll take the responsibility for it in both worlds you see I want you to be safeguarded in case anything happen Jun have no fear I'll come back covered with mud and medals mind you have that cup of tea waiting for me he is listening for the whistle he pulls her onto his knee hey hey hey hey what fun we'll have writing to one another real letters this time yes it would be a good plan if you began the first letter as soon as I've gone I will I hope lady dolly will go on sending me cakes you may be sure he ties his scarf round her neck you must have been a bunny thing when you were young away with you that scarf sets you fine blue was always my color the whistle sounds old lady you are what Blighty means to me now she hides in the pantry again she is out of sight to us but she does something that makes private Dowie take off his bonnet then he shoulders his equipment and departs that is he laughing coarsely with Dixon we have one last glimpse of the old lady a month or two after Kenneth's death in action it would be rosemary to us to see her in her black dress of which she is very proud but let us rather peep at her in the familiar garments that make a third to her mop and pail it is early morning and she is having a look at her medals before setting off on the daily round they are in a draw with the scarf covering them and on the scarf a piece of lavender first the black frock which she carries in her arms like a baby then her war saving certificates Kenneth's bonnet a thin packet of real letters and of the famous champagne cork she kisses the letters but she does not bloom over them she strokes the dress and waggles her head over the certificates and oppresses the bonnet to her cheeks and rubs the tinsel of the cork carefully with her apron she is a tremulous holden yet she exalts for she owns all these things and also the penny flag on her breast she puts them away in the draw the scarf over them the lavender on the scarf her air of triumph well becomes her she lifts the pail and of the mop and a slouch is off gamely to the day's toil end of part one part two of echoes of the war by JM Barrie this LibriVox recording is in the public domain part two the new word any room nowadays must be the scene for any father and any son other dramatis personae we could pick them up and Mayfair in Tooting on the belt in rectory Zorin grocers back parlors dump them down on our toy stage and tell them to begin it is a great gathering to choose from but our needs are small let the company shake hands and all go away but to the two who have remained it is discovered on inquiry or mr. Torrence and his boy so let us make use of them torence did not linger in order to be chosen he was anxious like all of them to be off but we recognized him and currently signed to him to stay not that we knew him personally but the fact is we remembered him we never forget a face as the legal person who reads out the names of the jury before the court opens and who brushes aside your reasons for wanting to be let off it pleases our humor to tell mr. Torrence that we cannot let him off he does not look so formidable as when we last saw him and this is perhaps owing to our no longer being hunched with others on those unfeeling benches it is not because he is without a wig for we saw him on the occasion to which we are so guardedly referring both in a wig and out of it he passed behind a screen without it and immediately as quickly as we right popped out in it giving it a finishing touch rather like the butler's wriggle to his coat as he goes to the door there are the two kinds of learning brothers those who use the screen and those who so far as the jury knows sleep in their way the latter are the swells and include the judges whom however we have seen in the public thoroughfares without their wigs a horrible sight that has doubtless led many an onlooker to crime mr. Taurus then is no great luminary indeed when we accompanied him to his house as we must in order to set our scene properly we find that it is quite a suburban affair only one servant kept and her niece engaged twice a week to call about the floors there is no fire in the drawing-room so the family remain on after dinner in the dining room which rather gives them away there is really no one in the room but Roger that is the truth of it though to the unseeing I all the family are there except Roger they consist of mr. mrs. and Miss Torrence mr. Torrence is enjoying his evening paper and a cigar and every line of him is insisting stubbornly that nothing unusual is happening in the house in the home Circle and now that we think of it even in court he has the reputation of being somewhat sarcastic gentlemen he must be dogged too otherwise he would have ceased long ago to be sarcastic to his wife on whom wit falls like pellets on sandbags all the dents they make are dimples mrs. Torrance is at present exquisitely employed she is listening to Rogers step overhead you know what a delightful step the boy has and what is more remarkable is that emma is listening to it to Emma who is 17 and who has been trying to keep Roger in his place ever since he first compelled her to bold to him things have come to a pass when a sister so openly admits that she is only number two in in the house remarks well worthy of being recorded fall from these two ladies as they gaze upward I think didn't I emma is the mother's contribution while it is Emma who replies in a whisper no not yet mr. Torrence calmly reads or seems to read for it is not possible that there can be anything in the paper as good as this indeed he occasionally casts a humorous glance at his women folk perhaps he is trying to study them let us hope he has some such good reason for breaking in from time to time on there and trancing occupation listen to this dear it is very important the paper says upon apparently good authority that love laughs at locksmiths his wife answers without lowering her eyes did you speak John I am listening yes I was telling you that the hidden hand has at last been discovered in a tub in Russell Square I hear John how thoughtful and so they must have been made of margarine my love I shouldn't wonder John hence the name Petrograd Oh was that the reason you will be pleased to hear Ellen that the Honorable gentleman then resumed his seat that was nice of him as I good-naturedly now resume mine having made my usual impression yes John Emma slips upstairs to peep through a keyhole and it strikes her mother that John has been saying something they are on two good terms to make an apology necessary she observes blindly John I haven't heard a word you said I'm sure you haven't woman I can't help being like this John go on being like yourself dear am i foolish hmm oh but John how can you be so calm with him up there he has been up there a good deal you know since we presented him to an astonished world 19 years ago but he he is not going to be up there much longer John she sits on the arm of his chair so openly to wheedle him that it is not worth his while to smile her voice is tremulous she is a woman who can conceal nothing you will be nice to him tonight won't you John mr. Torrance is a little pained do I just begin tonight Ellen oh no no but I think he is rather shy of you at times that he says a little Riley is because he is my son Ellen yes it's strange but yes with a twinkle that is not all humorous did it ever strike you Ellen that I am a bit shy of him she is indeed surprised of Rajee I suppose it is because I am his father she presumes that this is his sarcasm again and lets it pass at that it reminds her of what she wants to say you are so sarcastic she has never quite got to the meaning of this word to Rajee at times boys don't like that John is that so Ellen of course I don't mind you're being sarcastic to me much good my being sarcastic to you you are so seldom aware of it I'm not asking you to be a mother to him John thank you my dear she does not know that he is sarcastic again I quite understand that a man can't think all the time about his son as a mother does can t Ellen what makes you so sure of that I mean that a boy naturally goes to his mother with his troubles rather than to his father Raji tells me everything mr. Torrance is stung I dare say he might tell me things he wouldn't tell you she smiles at this it is very probably sarcasm I want you to be serious just now why not show more warmth to him John with an unspoken sigh it would terrify him Ellen two men show warmth to each other shame woman two men indignantly John he is only 19 that's all patting her hand Ellen it is the great age to be today 19 Emma darts in mother he has unlocked the door he is taking a last look at himself in the mirror before coming down having made the great announcement she is off again you won't be sarcastic John I'll give you my word if you promise not to break down rashly I promise she hurries to the door and back again John I'll contrive to leave you and him alone together for a while mr. Torrence is as alarmed as if the judge had looked over the bench and asked where he was for God's sake woman don't do that father and son he'll bolt or if he doesn't I will Emma torrents flings open the door grandly and we learn what all the to do is about Emma allow me to introduce second lieutenant Torrance of the Royal Sussex father your son second lieutenant Torrance your father mother your little Rajee Roger in uniform walks in strung up for the occasion or the uniform comes forward with Roger inside it he has been a very ordinary nice boy up to now dull at his books by an effort mr. Torrance has sent him to an obscure boarding school but at 16 it was evident that an office was the proper place for Roger before the war broke out he was treasurer of the local lawn tennis club and his golf handicap was seven he carried his little bag daily to and from the city and his highest relaxation was giggling with girls or about them socially he had fallen from the standards of the home even now that he is in his uniform the hasty might say something clever about temporary gentleman but of the raw great ideas buzzing in Rogers head which would never have been there save for the war at present he is chiefly conscious of his clothes his mother embraces him with cries of rapture while mr. Torrence surveys him quizzically over the paper and EMA rushing to the piano which is of such an old-fashioned kind that it can also be used as a sideboard please see the conquering hero comes Roger in an agony matterr do stop that JIT making an ass of me he must be excused for his MA tear that was the sort of school and his mother is rather proud of the phrase though it sometimes makes his father wince mrs. Torrance Emma please don't but I'm sure you deserve it my darling doesn't he John mr. Torrance missing his chance hardly yet you know can't be exactly a conquering hero the first night you put them on Kenya Roger Roger hotly did I say I was mrs. Torrance Oh John do turn around Raji I never did I never did Emma isn't he a pet Roger shut up Emma mrs. Torrance challenging the world though I say it who shouldn't and yet why shouldn't I mr. Torrance in any case you will so go ahead ma tell mrs. Torrance I knew he would look splendid but I of course I couldn't know that he would look quite so splendid as this Roger I know I look a Bali ass that is why I was such a time in coming down mr. Torrance we thought we heard you upstairs strutting about mrs. Torres John don't mind him Roger Roger haughtily I don't mr. Torrance Oh Roger but I wasn't strutting torence that dreadful sword no I would prefer you not to draw it dear not till necessity makes you mr. Torrence come come Ellen that's rather hard lines on the boy if he isn't to draw it here where is he to draw it Emma with pride at the front father mr. Torrence I thought they left them at home nowadays Roger Roger yes ma care you see they are a bit in the way mrs. Torrance foolishly not when you have got used to them mr. Torrance that isn't what Roger means his son glares Emma who though she has not formally fought much of Roger is now proud to trot by his side and will henceforth counter the salutes I know what he means if you carry a sword the snipers know you are an officer and they try to pick you off mrs. Torrance it's no wonder they are called Huns fancy a British sniper doing that Roger you will be very careful won't you in the trenches Roger honor bright mater mrs. Torrance above all don't look up mr. Torrance the trenches ought to be so deep that they can't look up mrs. Torrance what a good idea John Roger he's making game of you mater mrs. Torrance unruffled is he my own very likely now about the question of provisions Roger Oh Lummi you talk as if I was going off tonight I'm ain't go for months and months mrs. Torrance I know and of course there is a chance that you may not be needed at all Roger poor boy none of that matterr mrs. Torrance there is something I wanted to ask you John how long do you think the war is likely to last her John resumes his paper Roger I know you will laugh at me but there are some things that I could not help getting for you Roger you know you have knitted enough things already to fit up my whole platoon mrs. Torrance almost to tears his platoon Emma have you noticed how fine all the words in oon our platoon Dragoon mr. Torrance spittoon Emma Colonel is good but rather paper ish major is nosey Admiral of the fleet is scrumptious but Marichal de Falls that is the best of all mrs. Torrance I think there is nothing so nice as second lieutenant gulping lot of little boys Roger ma ter mrs. Torrance I mean I just think of their cold feet she produces many parcels and displays their strange contents those are for putting inside your socks those are for outside your socks I am told that it is also advisable to have straw in your boots mr. Torrance have you gotten some straw mrs. Torrance I thought John he could get it there but if you think Roger he's making fun of you again Matea mrs. Torrance I shouldn't wonder here are some overalls one is leather and one fur and this one is waterproof the worst of it is that they are from different shops and each says that the others keep the damp in or draw the feet they have such odd names too there are new names for everything nowadays vests are called curiosity are you laughing at me Raji mr. Torrance sharply if he is laughing he ought to be ashamed of himself Roger barking who was laughing mrs. Torrance John Emma cuffs her father playfully mr. Torrance all very well Emma but it's past your bedtime Emma indignantly you can't expect me to sleep on a night like this mr. Torrance you can try mrs. Torrance second lieutenant second lieutenant mr. Torrance alarmed Ellen don't break down you promised mrs. Torrance I am NOT going to down but but there is a photograph of Raji when he was very small mr. Torres go to bed mrs. Toren sigh I happen to have it in my pocket Roger don't bring it out matterr mrs. Torrance if I break down John it won't be going to the picture itself so much as because of what is written on the back she produces it dolefully mr. Torrance then don't look at the back he takes it from her mrs. Torrance not very hopeful of herself but I know what is written on the back Roger John Torrance aged two years four months and thirty-three pounds mr. Torrance correct she weeps softly there there woman he signs imploringly to Emma Emma kissing him I'm going to bye-bye night mommy night Raj she is about to offer him her cheek then salutes instead and rushes off with Roger in pursuit mrs. Torrance I shall leave you together John mr. Torrance half liking it but nervous do you think it's wise with the groan you know what I am mrs. Torrance do be nice to him dear Rogers return finds her very artful indeed I wonder where I put my glasses Roger I'll look for them mrs. Torrance no I remember now they are upstairs in such a funny place that I must go myself do you remember Roger that I hoped they would reject you on account of your eyes Roger I suppose you couldn't help it mrs. Torrance beaming at her husband did you believe I really meant it John mr. Torrance curious did you Roger Roger of course didn't you father mr. Torrance no I knew the old lady better he takes her hand mrs. Torrance sweetly I shouldn't have liked it Roger dear I'll tell you something you know your brother Harry died when he was seven to you I suppose it is as if he had never been you were barely five Roger I don't remember him mater mrs. Torrance don't know but I do Raji he would be 21 now but though you and Mo grew up I have always gone on seeing him as just seven always till the war broke out and now I see him a man of 21 dressed in khaki fighting for his country same as you I wouldn't have had one of you stay at home though I had had a dozen that is if it is the noble war they all say it is I am NOT clever Raji I have to take it on trust surely they wouldn't deceive mothers I'll get my glasses she goes away leaving the father and son somewhat moved it is mr. Torrance who speaks first gruffly like to change your mother Roger the answer is also gruff what do you think then silence falls these two are very conscious of being together without so much as the tick of a clock to help them the father clings to his cigar sticks his knife into it studies the leaf tries crossing his legs another way the son examines the pictures on the walls as if he had never seen them before and is all the time edging towards the door mr. Torrance wets his lips it must be Now or Never not going Roger Roger counts the chairs yes I thought won't you sit down and have a chat Roger is bowled over a what you and me why not rather truculently oh oh all right sitting uncomfortably the cigar gets several more stabs I suppose you catch an early train tomorrow the 5:20 I have flag signaling at half past the six a few hours before I shall be up I suppose so well you needn't dwell on it Roger and in Italy I didn't he starts up good night father good night damn come back my fault didn't I say I wanted to have a chat with you I thought we had had it drooling Lea no such luck there is another pause a frightened ember and the fire makes an appeal to someone to say something mr. Torrance Rises it is now he who is casting eyes at the door he sits again ashamed of himself I like your uniform Roger he says pleasantly Roger riggles haven't you made fun of me enough sharply I'm not making fun of you don't you see I'm trying to tell you that I'm proud of you Roger is at last aware of it with a sinking he appeals good lord father you are not going to begin now the father restrains himself do you remember Roger my saying that I didn't want you to smoke till you were 20 oh it's that is it shutting his mouth tight I never promised almost with a shout it's not that then kindly have a cigar my boy me a rather shaky hand passes him a cigar case Roger selects from it and lights up nervously he is now prepared for the worst have you ever wondered Roger what sort of a fellow I am guardedly often mr. Torrance casts all sense of decency to the winds such is one of the effects of war I have often wondered what sort of fellow you are Roger we have both been at it on the sly I suppose that is what makes a father and son so uncomfortable in each other's presence roger is not yet prepared to meet him halfway but he casts a line do you feel the creeps when you are left alone with me mortally Roger my first instinct is to slip away so is mine with deep feeling you don't say so with such surprise that the father undoubtedly goes up in the sun's estimation I always seem to know what you are thinking Roger do you same here as a consequence it is better it is right it is only decent that you and I should be very cherry of confidences with each other Roger is relieved I'm dashed glad you see it that way Oh quite and yet Roger if you had to answer this question on oath whom do you think you are most like in this world I don't mean superficially but deep down in your vitals what would you say your mother your uncle one of your friends on the Golf Links know who darkly you just how I feel there is such a true sympathy in the manly of all that Roger cannot but be brought closer to his father it's pretty ghastly father it is I don't know which it is worse for they consider each other without bitterness you are a bit of a wag at times Roger you soon shut me up I have heard that you Sparkle more freely in my absence they say the same about you and now that you mention it I believe it is true and yet isn't it a bigger satisfaction to you to catch me relishing your jokes than any other person Rogers eyes open wide how did you know that because I am so bucked if I see you relishing mine are you Rogers hold on the certain things in life are slipping you don't show it that is because of our awkward relationship Roger lapses into gloom we have got to go through with it his father kicks the coals there's no way out no we have as it were signed a compact Roger never to let on that we care for each other as gentlemen we must stick to it yes what are you getting at father there is a war on Roger that needn't make any difference yes it does Roger be ready I hate to hit you without warning I'm going to cast a grenade into the middle of you it's this I'm fond of you my boy Roger squirms father if anyone were to hear you they won't the door is shut amy has gone to bed and all is quiet in our street won't you would you say something civil to me in return Roger Roger looks at him and away from him I sometimes bragged about you at school mr. Torrance is absurdly pleased did you what sort of things Roger I I forget come on Roger is this fair father I suppose it isn't mr. Torrance attacks the coals again you and your mother have lots of confidences don't you I tell her a good deal somehow yes somehow one can which the artfulness that comes of years I'm glad you tell her everything Roger looks down his cigar not everything father there are things about oneself aren't there Roger best not to tell her yes yes if there are any of them you would care to tell me instead just if you want to mind just if you are in a hole or anything no thanks very stiffly any little deaths for instance that's all right now mother she did Roger is ready to jump at him I was willing to speak to you about them but she said not worthwhile bothering father how did you know oh I have met your mother before you see nothing else no haven't been an ass about a girl or anything of that sort good lord father I shouldn't have said it in my young days we sometimes it's all different now I don't know I could tell you things that would surprise you no not about yourself no at least just as you like Roger it blew over long ago then there's no need no oh no it was just you know the old story he eyes his father suspiciously but not a muscle in mr. Torrance's countenance is out of place I see it hasn't left you bitter about sex Roger I hope not now she you know what women are yes yes you needn't mention it to mother I won't mr. Torrance is elated to share a secret with Roger about which mother is not to know think your mother and I are an ageing two pair Roger I never of course you are not young how long have you known that I mean it's true but I didn't know it till quite lately that you're old hang it Roger not so bad as that elderly this will stagger you but I assure you that until the other day I jogged along thinking of myself as on the whole still one of the juveniles he makes a wry face I crossed the bridge Roger without knowing it what made you know what makes us know all the new things Roger the war I'll tell you a secret when we realized in August of 1914 that myriads of us were to be needed my first thought wasn't that I had a son but that I must get fit myself Hugh funny isn't it says mr. Torrance quite nastily but as I tell you I didn't know I had ceased to be young I went into Regents Park and tried to run a mile Lummi you might have killed yourself I nearly did especially as I had put a weight on my shoulders to represent my kit I kept at it for a week but I knew the game was up the discovery was pretty grim Roger don't you bother about to that part of it you are doing your share taking care of mother and Emilie mr. Torrance emits a laugh of self-contempt I'm not taking care of them it is you who are taking care of them my friend you are the head of the house now father yes we have come back to hard facts and the defender of the house is the head of it me fudge it's true the thing that makes me wince most is that some of my contemporaries have managed to squeeze back back into youth Roger though I guess they were a pretty tight fit in the turnstile there is Coxon he is in khaki now with his hair dyed and when he and I meet at the club we know that we belong to different generations I'm a decent old fellow but I don't really count anymore while Coxon lucky dog is being damned daily on parade I hate your feeling in that way father I don't say it is a palatable draft but when the war is over we shall all shake down to the new conditions no fear of my being sarcastic to you then Roger I'll have to be jolly respectful shut up father you've begun you see don't worry Roger any rawness I might feel and having missed the chance of seeing whether I was a man like Coxon confound him is swallowed up in the pride of giving the chance to you I'm in a shiver about you but it's all true Roger what your mother said about a second lieutenants till the other day we were so little of a military nation that most of us didn't know there were second lieutenants and now in thousands of homes we feel that there is nothing else second lieutenant it is like a new word to us one I dare say of many that the war will add to our language we have taken to it Roger if a son of mine were to tarnish it I'll try not to Roger growls if you did I should just know that there had been something wrong about me gruffly you're all right if I am you are it is a winning face that mist of torrance turn on his son I suppose you have been asking yourself of late what if you were to turn out to be a funk father how did you know I know because you are me because ever since there was talk of this commission I have been thinking and to thinking what were you thinking so as to help you this itself is a help Rogers hand but he withdraws it hurriedly they all seemed to be so frightfully brave father he says wistfully I expect Roger that the best of them had the same qualms as you before their first engagement I I kind of think father that I won't be a funk I kind of think so too Roger mr. Torrence forgets himself mine you don't be rash my boy and for God's sake keep your head down in the trenches Roger has caught him out he points a game finger at his anxious father you know you laughed at mother for saying that did I Roger your mother thinks that I have an unfortunate manner with you the magnanimous Roger says oh I don't know it's just the father-and-son complication that is really all it is but she thinks I should show my affection for you more openly Roger wriggles again earnestly I wouldn't do that nicely of course for this once but in a general way I wouldn't do that we know you and I as long as we know it's no one else's affair is it that's the ticket father still it is to be feared that mr. Torrance is now taking advantage of his superior slyness still before your mother to please her hey faltering I suppose it would well what do you say I know she would like it of course you and I know that display of that sort is all bumpkin repellent even to our nature's Lord yes but to gratify her I should be so conscious mr. Torrance is here quite as sincere as his son so should I Roger considers it how far would you go oh not far suppose I called you old Raji there's not much in that it all depends on the way one says these things I should be quite casual hmm what would you like me to call you severely it isn't what would I like but I dare say your mother would beam if you called me dear father I don't think so you know quite well that you think so Roger it's so effeminate not if you say it casually with something very like a snort Roger asks how does one say a thing like that casually well for instance you could whistle while you said it or anything of that sort hmm of course you if we were to be like that you wouldn't do anything how do you mean you wouldn't poor me Roger with some natural indignation you forget yourself but apparently it is for him to continue that reminds me of a story I heard the other day of a French general he had asked for volunteers from his Airmen for some specially dangerous job and they all stepped forward pretty good that then three were chosen and got their orders and saluted and were starting off when he stopped them since when he said have brave boys departing to the post of danger omitted to embrace their father they did it then good story Roger lowers they were French yes I said so don't you think it's good why do you tell it to me because it's a good story you are sure father sternly that there is no other reason mr. Torrance tries to brazen it out but he looks guilty you know father that is barred just because he knows that he has been playing it low mr. Torrance snaps angrily what is barred you know said his monitor mr. Torrance shout I know that you are a young ass really father hold your tongue Roger can shout also I must say father be quiet I tell you it is in the middle of this competition that the lady who dotes on them both chooses to come back still without her spectacles oh dear and I had hoped Oh John mr. Torrance would like to kick himself my fault he says with a groan but whatever is the matter nothing ma ter the war is already making Roger quite smart only father wouldn't do as I told him mr. Torrance cannot keep pace with his son's growth he raps out why the Dickens should I Roger is imperturbable this will be useful in France you see mater he said I was the head of the house you Raji she goes to our husbands aside what nonsense Roger grins do you like my joke father the father smiles upon him and is at once uproariously happy he digs his boy boldly in the ribs Roger you scoundrel that's better says mrs. Torrance at a venture Roger feels that things have perhaps gone far enough I think I'll go to my room now you will come up mutter yes dear I shan't be 5 minutes John more like half an hour she hesitates there is nothing wrong is there I thought I noticed a certain liveliness My dear no we were only having a good talk what about John wistfully about the war Roger breaks in horridly about tactics and strategy wasn't it Roger yes the fact is Ellen I have been helping Roger to take his first trench with a big breath and we took it too together didn't we Roger you bet says Roger valiantly though I suppose sighing it is one of those trenches that the enemy retake during the night oh I I don't know father the lady asks whatever are you two talking about aha says mr. Torrence in high feather patting her but unable to resist a slight boost it is very private we don't tell you everything you know Ellen she beams though she does not understand come on mater it's only his beastly sarcasm again night father I won't to see you in the morning night says mr. Torrance but Roger has not gone yet he seems to be looking for something a book perhaps then he begins to whistle casually goodnight dear father mr. John Torrance is left alone rubbing his hands end of part 2 | Priceless Audiobooks | UCly1zcKPGzGW9wZMCZodWOA | 2018-07-13 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 14,947 | 75,744 |
OwX_iB6M3s4 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwX_iB6M3s4 | How credit scores are determined | all right hey everybody it's me Manny D A1 solutions group in today's video um it won't make this too long but talk about something that frustrated me I did not understand didn't care to understand I thought was the most evil one of the most evil things in the world that's used to control people which it is unless you play the game now this this is in regards to credit but uh more specifically into how your credit score is calculated and something a lot of people so I'm so surprised they don't get to understand they think that they pay a debt off it's it's your score your score will improve they think if you don't pay it on time or don't pay your debts or your score um go down all that having some truth excuse me there's a lot more to it on the people don't realize like the specifics are because I remember whenever someone would go over here's how your credit score is is formed I go all right pay my bills on time and just Zone the out no one pay attention because you know why it's a boring ass topic and more importantly I want to say more importantly nobody attempts to talk about it and teach it in a way that's entertaining to you so you're like well this makes sense it's important like you know it's important but you let it slide Fly for a long time right so with that being said in trying to appeal you know emotionally I get it's not the most exciting time but you need to know this a lot because trust me what you do you go oh God it makes work so here's how your scores calculators five different components all right the first is payment history payment history is 35 of your score do not miss payments do not miss payments because you miss payment that can right that can drop your score anywhere between 50 to 100 points two the next big chunk is credit utilization this is what peop this is one thing too about this people like don't realize Credit Credit utilization looks at the amount of looks at the amount of available credit you have and versus how much you're using if you go above 30 percent of the Avail credit that you have available your score will drop so basically if you only have ten thousand dollars in available credit overall and you go above 3 000 of that your score will drop you want to keep this ideally between two to ten percent okay also one also real quick tip you want to also find about statement date the reason being is this for you for all the credit cards you have the statement date is when they report to the bureau so the jacked up thing is I've seen them credit reports of people is that they paid the bill on time they're never been late but they're constantly carrying a high a high balance or higher having high utilization so the so the Jagger thing is if you if your due date is after the statement date yes you'll pay the bill on time but then you're then you're still losing points for having high utilization find that out the third chunk is length of credit history and this only and nobody knows about discusses basically what this means is that it gives it it looks the average age of your credit history so the older your accounts are the more points you get it takes an average age so if your average age is three years you'll get not as many points when someone has an average age of 10 years credit history that's a long term gain credit is a marathon not a Sprint people let's let's drill that in right next chunk after that is 10 is having a mix of accounts meaning you want to have some revolving credit like credit cards maybe have installment loan or two like a mortgage or a car note you can also have on your on your five or being reported your rental history you want to do that especially if you're trying to get a house um Utility payments cell phone payments and you can also depending on the app get your streaming services reported on your credit on on your credit credit report too you can't the last chunk is 10 it's hard inquiries new counts some new account because report it's a good thing um you want to keep your heart requirements to you minimum they do matter I will not go into that right now because a lot of people don't get those either but that's how your score grows growth notice how in this I never said anything about collection charge offs you pay the suckers congratulations your score will go nowhere or it can drop that's a whole that's a whole different discussion for another day so again real quick review 35 is paying history 30 is creditization 15 is length of trade history um 10 is having a mix of counts and the last chunk is new counts and or inquiries hope this helps any questions about this please comment below please hit

JJbfDDIbug4 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJbfDDIbug4 | Roy Howat, Digital editions for piano and vocal performers (Transforming Musicology final workshop) | thank you very much yes thank you for being with me and Roy how it keyboard research fellow at the Royal Academy of Music and senior research fellow at they're all Conservatoire of Scotland they're both part-time so I juggle between the two as well as being a freelance piano player and writer an editor it's my mostly my editing work that's brought me into this field because for years I've been editing GBC for the new complete edition and for a and now Chopin for Peters Edition projects and that has joined me into the ambit of the Peters the new Peters initiative the Tito music application which is an answer to what we're talking about today it's how we can go beyond the printed page and what the advantages are of going beyond the printed page we've always taken it for granted how limited how much of the printed page limits us know that we we can go beyond that we have to make the efforts I think well how do we do it and I've started by showing this here I'm shamelessly waving these in the air the midpoint between these are the crossing point is where we've taken some pieces onto the Tito application which is a way of exploring a score you get the score itself but you can press buttons here the piece played you can hear you can read about its background you can hear a master class about it you can slow it down you can get tips and performing it they're building all sorts of things into it and what I'd like to explore today are all the sorts of add-ons and the things I think that might be useful the aspects of music the underlying and circumstantial things that seem to be critical to our appreciation and understanding of something particularly as performers but also as scholars and how scholarship and poor performance can link into each other to help our understanding and the ways in which I think this can gradually be worked into initiatives like Tito music the printer to have here anyone would like one I brought a few with me it's delicious first arabesque and for sissies it's really have prints out of there first of all they put the score P first edition put the score there edition up on the app they then got me into um what is that you have a background written about it they got me and to give commentaries on it play it give some tips about playing it you could press buttons if you have to subscribe to to do music to do this but it's very key and there are in fact a few free samples up there there's some up on YouTube I think you can find me doing douches clear de Lune on YouTube for this but now that that's been done they thought well let's go in the other direction and they've done a print out it's a sort of almost printed meta edition of the arabesque preceded by a transcript of what I've said about it and the background and followed by historical notes which of course many editions can do but it's very it's very neat and compact so and bearing in mind this background of this project with which I've become quite involved in really just the it's just over a year since it was launched and we're putting up more and more repertoire into it including things I'm anything why I've been drawn into it I mean let's have a look at the ways in which sorry the ways in which music invites us to go beyond the printed score and the we present resources I think can start taking advantage of this here for example is [Music] [Applause] this [Music] what an addition what new addition shows it present of what you can do if you have the ear resources it's just show that huh you don't need to do that in France if you play either of pieces these pieces in France the audience will start grinning and any children present will stop singing along with you as you play because they all know the song every French child is something sleeper that not they don't need to be French I saying like some of my children sleep with with these but you could see exactly where the words fit and that the buttons you can press to make things appear and disappear are one of the most immediate advantages of what we can do electronically and you suddenly see the link between these by working these next to each other for example if we have an electronic edition of items these pieces you can press the button to show where the other one will come out [Music] so that there's all sorts of options that are opening up already for what you can do here's and there is something else uncontrolled the same time there's you could see the innate sense of humor and the very sharp eye that that particular composer had Gabriel for me that's entertaining himself often s thank you later to a hostess who had had him to stay in Wills in fact over there somewhere mm-hmm it's a lovely portrait of him actually it's as good as any and then I passed her the other composer quickly we saw that's something quite nice to show in his music why is it it's a composer who in his mature years was famous for writing in three-part cyclic forms so there you see him already if you've played him at the piano you made it notice that his piano writing is quite left-handed to an extent that's made many of us wonder whether he was a natural left-hander and he also if you play his music and I like to mention this he treats the piano like a pair of pandal bars he plants his thumbs and this the he worked very much with the prehensile part of the hand plants are thumbs and forefingers and works around them with the main melody often in the middle of the texture and if you think well wait a minute the guy was only five years old they might have a look at him a bit later on and see where that left hand has been meanwhile it's it is natural mmm sort of body language and it comes through in his writing and of course it will come through not just in his piano writing but in his whole musical conceptions Stravinsky commented on this with Debussy he said after he had heard Debussy playing the piano a few times quite magnificently on one occasion he sight read the Rite of Spring with Stravinsky from the piano Jewish they could sight read anything apparently mr. Levinsky said having heard him he became it's very vividly aware of how much do beauties piano playing and the way he the way he treated the piano how much that underlay his whole concept of composition hmm quite a profound statement is something you couldn't work into into many any score I think when you're offering a score for performing rather than saying this is just Java so like he hears bars one to such-and-such it goes like this reef to an Abba that's fine to play the notes but all that sort of information this is sort of thing we can have at the touch of a button now and then we have the similar links from other pieces I'm presently busy editing short answer issued for the new resource edition project which if you wanted to know about it I could spend three hours telling you about this is the what's rather exciting about what you can do after 200 years and a thousand editions of these pieces all and already it's are still more to discover but one of the things that's fairly well known about it is its links to where it's coming from and again this is something you can surely electronically once you've put it on the page you just see how the one runs into the other practically still it's a schoolboy [Music] and what all the existing to just might say so there is launching his piano studies that's the second of them with something of a parody of Morley's these two men bond with in fact they they remained they became friends very quickly motionless must have noticed this and taking it in good part until later commissioned the last three of Chopin has issued from from Chopin but that's another story keeping with Chopin curious again at the end of his prayers [Music] something that came literally out of it Pancho pan centenary a set of pieces appeared just called twelve preludes book one didn't say anything else about it but it started with the same way [Music] extremely brains and intellects these people as well as they're the sharpest of musical intuitions Debussy was brought up in Chopin he practically worshipped his music in the same way that Chopin worshiped the bar you can just see them linking at that point and Debussy sing 100 years of Chopin here's a here's a tribute and being a subtle sort of person he wasn't going to say homage to chauffeur everybody had been thundering that out since the first of January 1910 so he just lets that seal along in the wake of it but they're there again more samples of the sort of things we can do going back to Chopin look at this here's the first of what you rarely see in editions is where this Edition came from it was engraved very badly I have to say in France by very poor engraver whose sobriety I sometimes create because it the accuracy of the Edition tips often down like a yo-yo as you go through that collection there's a manuscript a few breaks we're having to manage Li Jun office anything particular about it well you'll see that they in the forest stick for login it's resulting addition they are remarkably different in detail some of that can be put down to revision but some of it is just I think damage limitation by sharper but the most remarkable thing is not the engravers fault that must again show up in exchange you can see that the word lento is a little bit out of line that was obviously changed [Music] I think the answer to this comes in the last of his doctrines which starts Lent oh it's a slow for in the bar well slow by his standards slow in these days meaning just meaning not fast it doesn't mean the slowest and he [Music] one is telling us what with the surface of the music that's my reading of it my job in man Edition is not to tell people exactly how to play it but to give them all pertinent information and/or personal leads that may give us insights insights I think oh yes well you wanna know where that's coming from but for me there are contexts there that the electronic push of a button can can help us understand in performance would you like before we go on their might to tracking this time for me to play that hatred through the way the way I think he must have meant it [Music] I can put it online we can put it online for the touch of a button for people who are exploring these pcs and I hope that will be useful let's go and here why am i showing you clapping job today well my idea enjoying this is again in something that we did well it's the signal it's the it's our musical signal box really it's my view of the lack of Islam egg which is one of these key pieces which picked up you can as soon as you go through it at half speed like I tend to so you find what's good you rework it reuse it so you think didn't took that rebellious - so I'm the that was one of these key pieces 1869 mm-hmm in a way it so it's it's the foundation piece I think that modern rock music at least instrumental music underpin an enormous impact when people active carbon venus and a few people for brought it to paris and people like BBC in Ravello harriet something along these lines [Music] things [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] he did this for me he then managed to fall out with everyone he was a cantankerous character left wented to half left all his stuff with Glink his daughter while she looked after it and wedding for me always for 20 years yeah he had a bit of a crisis and then just before 1900 he was still 20 men should survive then he gave up his job the railways and thought you said the whole lot of musical manuscripts then again picked up a finish track two years earlier and finished many of them he was 16 years for example mentioned when he came back with his music so this is the railway junction is the sort of thing that fascinates me the possibilities of electronic representation of musical scores can let us press buttons and feelings the other one out of course and it's it's a risky one because once you've played [Applause] [Music] programming is me and you it's a funny little letter there because the French don't usually have a pretty circumflex over the eye it's the old French spelling so do you see could be referring to antiquity but I can't help feeling that it's that Nexus also echoing the title of you know when you when you've looked at these four pieces together you're aware of disease so that's one example of many pieces in your sense there's a sort of signal box and platforms and branch lines going off all over the place into another and it's for me it's fascinating to be able to travel through time from one piece into another it takes him to the composer's brain you you become aware of what the composer you would what was going around to all the ear worms in the in the composer's head around that time what else why I'm sure I'm going to jump through a bit because time is racing no that was just more of the same I will have to skip this just from the point of view of time I'll take you forward to one what did he mean and who was saying it well the quotation came from Revell to his friend Maurice delage who is also his competition student innovator in a very good friend then he had been working on for a while the key to that statement is probably Ravel's fascination with Edgar Allan Poe and he quoted particularly Edgar Allan Poe's essay the philosophy of composition you possibly know that say in which Nepal revisits his poem The Raven which had just come outta here before I think and it's a beautifully written s it's very entertaining to read because he's teasing us as he writes he's missing you may we may well think that it a writer a poet sits down in a frenzy of inspiration one day and the ideas pour out well it's not the way I work and I propose to show you now how I wrote the poem The Raven and yours as you read through the essay you can't help thinking did you really do that he can't he can't have he can't have many people don't believe it the only thing is that once you've read the essay and taken all the analysis of the Raven taking it back to the Raven and notice how he describes the unusual height or meters the unusual structures that are in that poem you think actually these structures can't have got there by accident he must have done it that way but you read the Raven and you would never guess that until unless you told unless he told you Ravel's adhered to this philosophy and he said that's the way I compose and that's the way I would teach anyone to compose because you have to be you didn't make it unique know what you're doing and again yeah how this can go into our musical presentation I think is shown by the third movement of Ravel's trio and said it's a long it's a slow long piece it's a big three or four movements lasts a good 20 minutes or more so far at least a five or six minute passacaglia the third movement here isn't here's a map I drew of it I was long aware that that the piece felt very geometrical and very an architectonic and the more closely I looked the more I realized that it was in fact a mirrored structure an arch structure I was thrown for a little bit because they're saying center of this structure you're not aware orally aware of anything like the climax of the piece which comes a little bit afterwards and but when you look around it is you come in from the two ends and go against time for me and you realize the two processes they're transpositional symmetries in that a process going along in time is repeating itself in time but it's also being there are also mirroring symmetries in this structure so we meet the three instruments the piano violin and the cello all present a theme at eight bar intervals for 24 bars and they were coming one after the other they disappear one after the other in the final 24 bars the theme continues for another eight bars before their second team enters the same thing is worth towards end of the piece the second team enters and exits indicates that the two bars after the beginning before the end of the piece and you have the terracing of the two climaxes based on the two teams and the center where the two things collide in counterpoint and disintegrates and gradually I look back at my career was finished I only need the themes for it you thought out like that garland for what he was going to do how his themes were going to behave and this for me when I played it rebels to you now I started missing but what marks each one is not just its melodic but behave but it's their conduct how they affect the structure of the piece it's a way in which we often don't think about music and again it seemed and I would love to put them up like that into an edition of the piece if I were editing it out well the challenge was one of these for every movement of the piece you would have to write a little monograph about the piece but if you have an addition you can say press a button to see the shape of the persica passacaglia they are coping above the music it might if you pass the cursor over it and it it can show you that and I think do I just have time to give you another few minutes good from there think of how this sort of thing marked the meet the the mid 20th century with this with it mid 20th century's obsessions with structure and number structure in music this one is based on multiples of four and eight which are often disguised but I'll move on from there think of now we go to the Darmstadt school for example and the way in the 60s 50s 60s 70s if you went to a concert of that you would have been handed a bit of paper now it could be electronic would have a screen up but then you would have been handed a little bit of paper telling you the number series and then whose permutation was this piece had been built I still remember hearing this I mean in fact even is even in for the 80s I would note here first hearings over work so I'll take you a little visit to Darmstadt and honest hot summer day in here is porno high in CI a--'s low market Victor indulge that from 1968 and and here's how it works he starts with numbers three two or three plays are owned by them and you get five three five play around with them a little bit more and you start getting five 1885 makes 13 you might recognize these numbers the Darmstadt school and almost anything was going on in Europe in the sixties and seventies fascinated by these Fibonacci numbers and then if you're going to make a storm out of it you just add you keep adding took you to 13 and 21 now at that point the piece I'm looking at does something very strange four and then five four because we're working here in a mathematical structure obviously in this piece well in fact there are two ideas that are being played off against each other at this piece now play you in a minute and you can hear what it sounds like do it you don't need to create your ears to battle it's not one of their the toughest concrete pieces there are two ideas being played off against each other one of them is eight and then five which is a right number the other is four plus four and together of course one of the mix up 13 bars the other makes up eight bars so even that everything is built up on these numbers 2 3 5 8 13 21 34 and if we want to make it sound like a storm well here's a sort of image of a storm minutes there's a structure one wants to emulate in music that's just a photograph of a cumulonimbus a strong storm above New South Wales a few years ago here's how you would link up the numbers if you were doing this imagine you're in Darmstadt and you wanted to do this in the 19:6 it's now don't look at the screen and when it shut your eyes because I'm just good to have to start the music going and I've just realised this will give the game away I'm going to play it oops and there's this crescendo that goes through and the trombones come in at the crucial point it hasn't started thing I'm just it should start playing now unless mapping music as a place here that starts [Music] and structures pure Darmstadt not come changes [Music] listen for the trombone of course [Music] the return address the peace well let's turn Ahaziah a yacht by claude debussy 50 years in a la Mer stop it here we go and I'll directly wind up from here but I just wanted that as an example some of you may know about this because it's a sin that committed long ago I did accomplish this analysis but that's me of all these funny numbers working in deduces music that's one of the most dramatic ones and again for anyone working on them we're conducting it playing it in the orchestra it'd be nice to be able to click on the score somewhere and see how the various sections of this work which are very very clearly demarcated as you'd hear there's not a single thing going on it didn't make sense to that map there it could be Darmstadt except it happens to be close Debussy fifteen years before and in a way you can see how much we mark the 20th century although I'm not sure how many of the dogs that composers knew that this was going on in there if they did they kept very quiet about it but again that would leave me off in another tracks I'll come back to my central point of the way we can present the way our resource is now let us look at musical presentation and for me the implications for projects like Tito who's whose founder Brad is just joining us I'm delighted to see so in the private about my idea were actually building up what an application like Tito can do we're not the only publishers doing that and we are going into into electronic presentations where for example if you fall if you've ever been you know annoyed by their tutorial fingering and any additions you can now press a button if you're looking at it on screen and a press book the fingering goes away your life to thorn in the composers that one makes me happy but that's me it's interesting but that's that's just the start it's it's where our musical exploration can go from there and I hope in all sorts of creative directions that will set composers off with ideas for music as well I must stop there it's time for lunch thank you very much for your [Applause] | Transforming Musicology |

chat Channel and Discord is options order flow the impact of options markets on stocks and Futures and the influence of Market maker hedging flow on price action I have a two-step process for trading and the first is planning and I use positional analysis and I look at how Traders and market makers are positioned in the options market and how those positions change from day to day to develop a thesis regarding the expected trading range and volatility for the day as well as a directional bias and the second step of my process is execution and I look at real-time order flow in bookmap and real-time Market maker hedging flow in spot gamma hero to confirm my thesis and for setups for entries and exits and good morning Rob and thanks for your confirmation of the audio and video okay and this second step in the process has become increasingly important today given all of the uh the focus and the trading and the zero DDE options the levels are not shifting that much and it's hard to develop a longer term thesis so it's a key to watch the order flow and Market maker hedging flow during the day for setups and on topic questions and comments are welcome and please please please note this on topic and I covered the topics before options order flow the impact of options markets on stocks and Futures and the influence of Market maker hedging flow on price action and this applies 24 hours a day not only during my presentation but all the time so uh you know please respect us and um let's move on so again on topic questions and comments are very welcome I'm looking for your interaction your questions okay let's get started and today I want to cover talk about news briefly events for the day we'll go through our positional analysis and then we'll talk about some setups so first of all news there were some economic data that came out this morning a couple of PMI numbers one at 9 45 the other at uh at 10 A.M eastern time and both were less a little bit lower than forecast and both less than 50. so that still indicates the economy at least according to these numbers are is still in contraction and then Tesla is also having uh an investor day today I believe that starts sometime this afternoon maybe soon and then finally I have not had much time to look at it but spot gamma introduced a new interface today and it looks great this is a new interface for hero and Equity Hub combined into one one screen and they put a huge effort to get this out on March 1st and it looks great kudos to um to spot gamma for getting this done and uh you know again it looks great okay and then uh jec says the Tesla Tesla investor day starts at 4 pm eastern time so after the after the close the investor day starts and just a reminder the employment report that normally comes out on the first Friday of the month is delayed this week for some reason I guess maybe because of the short month of February anyway it's not going to be this Friday it's going to be next Friday March 10th is the employment report all right let's take a look at charts and let's start with the S P 500 and this is book map and before I dig into this chart let's take a look at a longer time frame charts and we'll just look at SPX and this is a 20-day one-hour chart and this is showing again this is just SPX price and spot gamma levels and these levels are provided to spot gamma subscribers this is thinkorswim and they are provided they provide a script every day with the updated levels there is some manual um uh manual work involved in in pasting in the new script but it just takes a minute or two and so this is showing the range that uh the with a key takeaway that I I see here is the ranges that SPX is trading in is shifting down so this is the range from starting uh let's see that is this is starting around the middle of February February 14th or so and then the range has been shifting down and now SPX is trading in the 39.50 to 4 000 range and again this is SPX and this is also showing the key levels on the charts and here is the put wall and I'll talk more about what these levels are these are the key levels put wall and then here 4000 that is the key gamma strike or the absolute gamma strike and that 39.95 is the volatility trigger and then way up here at 4200 that's the call wall and that has been up at 4200 for uh quite a while and also the 4000 level has been the key gamma strike for quite a while and again note the the range for today and actually the last last few days starting at the end of last week has been the 39 50 to 4 000 level and the question is will this level hold will 39.50 hold and price move higher or will continue down to the next range 3 900 to 39.50 all right so that is a a little bit longer time frame and now let's take a look at another think or Swim chart and this is just for today and again I'm I'm just showing this simple chart to get started showing just price and levels I don't know and there's a question in YouTube what time period is the SPX chart so the one that we just looked at was a 20-day one-hour chart and now this is a one day one minute chart and again showing the levels that are in play for today in the price action really kind of centered just between 39.50 and this support level at 39.57 that was this level was noted as support in the spot gamma am Founders node okay so that's today in another tight trading range today another range day and the ideas to establish highs and lows and then then fade those fade the highs fade the lows okay so that's the the playing field the levels in play uh again the 39.50 level here the 39.50 support level which was in play early this morning and then the 3950 and the 3949 Combo level also in play all right now let's go to book map so this is the S P 500 and I'm showing I have two columns of levels here and the first these are spot gamma Cloud nodes these are provided to spot gamma subscribers just like the thinkorswim chart note think script except these are updated automatically and I don't have to do anything right now spot gamma is using a seven point difference between es and SPX and that difference I calculated in jec uh posted this as well is I I calculated this morning at four and a half points so I'm showing in my cloud nodes here the levels that I have adjusted at four and a half points so that is that 39.57 level that was in play at the open and then here's my 3950 level the uh again the SPX 3950 although spot gamma is showing that level there and they're just uh you know it's easier for me to calculate the exact difference so those are the levels that are in play and then I'm also showing spy levels and that is the Spy volatility trigger and that has been in play today and then finally I'm showing the es big round numbers the 50s and the zeros so a lot of levels in play and spy SPX and Es levels are all in play today so it takes a little bit of work to get these on the the charts the correct levels and I calculate the Spy es ratio every couple of days and that changes from day to day just a little bit and then also the uh difference between es and SPX and then on my spy charts I calculate the SPX spy ratio as well so those are the levels in play today and you can see this is a trading range today and the plays have been to fade the highs and Fade to lows and we'll see that hero that spot gamma hero is the hedging impact of real-time options did provide some good signals for both uh long end shorts as well as confirmation and and Order flow so you can often see for example here this move down all the pink dots and then the shift to what I'm talking about is this this first big drop down notice all the pink dots those are Market cell orders and then aggressive buyers start to come in as price hits that SPX 3950 and Es 3950 level notice the shift to the green dots and the move higher and then the shift to pink dots shift to green dots and now it's somewhat mixed here all right so that's the S P 500 and the levels that are in play and let's talk about shifts in levels so first of all the SPX and spy volatility trigger both dropped SPX from 4000 yesterday to a 39.95 today so a minor shift down and then uh spy volatility trigger dropped from 400 yesterday to 396 today and the volatile volatility trigger is spot gamma's proprietary gamma flip level and what that means is that market makers position on the gamma curve is negative below that level and that means in that negative gamma environment Market Traders are long puts market makers are short puts and they have to sell Futures to hedge their Delta exposure as price drops and they can buy back their short Futures as price increases so they are trading in the direction of price and a negative gamma environment and that tends to increase volatility and above the above the volatility trigger Market Maker's position is positive gamma and in that case they're uh trading against price and that tends to subdue volatility in a positive gamma environment and right now all of the indices are definitely in a negative gamma environment okay so that is the volatility trigger also the QQQ volatility trigger dropped from 296 to 293 and then the zero gamma level um dropped across the board SPX spy ndx and QQQ and then finally this is kind of an odd one the Spy call Wall dropped from 420 yesterday to 399 today so that is kind of odd to see one of these uh primary gamma strikes like the call wall at around an uneven number not an even number 399. okay so that's the shifts in levels now let's take a look at the gamma charts and see where these levels come from so these are the absolute gamma levels this is the zero line and above this line that is positive Gamma or call gamma shown by the black bars and below the line that is negative Gamma or put gamma shown by the teal bars so this is SPX and this is the four thousand level that's the key gamma strike that is the uh you know very obvious is the largest strike on the board and that it you know certainly should remain that way until at least the March 17th the quarterly expiration so that is the key gamma strike the absolute gamma strike the strike with the largest total absolute gamma and then the pull wall is down at 3 900 and for SPX the call wall remains at 4200. so that's SPX and really the notable thing here is the put gamma below the 4000 level all right that's SBX let's take a look at spy I'm going to zoom in on this just a bit actually let's include that that 420 level so this is the 400 key gamma strike or absolute gamma strike there's the put wall at 390 the put Wallace the strike with the largest net negative gamma and that can be expected to act as support and then there's the 399 call wall and that's the strike with the largest net positive gamma and that can be expected to act as resistance so the thing to note here similar to SPX is the predominance of put gamma below the 400 level and while we're on this page let's take a look at a couple of other things these are the combo levels these are these levels combine SPX and spy gamma into one level and then that's converted to an equivalent SPX number so I want to point out a couple of levels here this is the that's that 3957 combo strike which was noted as support in the AM Founders note and then there's that 39 49 combo strike and again remember these are combo levels so that's the 39.49 Combo level and that's shown right here on this pop-up that 39.49 level that's a combo three meaning three uh the the range of significance of gamma is one to five one being the highest five being the lowest so medium significance there for that gamma level but anyway this is where that that comes from and then finally let's scroll down toward the bottom here and we'll look at the open interest and volume adjustments and I focused on this the last few days this is SPX put data actually let me do this let's let's zoom in just a little bit on this so what this is showing is volume with the black bars versus open interest change shown in the teal bars and what this is showing showing us is the large amount of volume traded versus the change in open interest which is very small compared to the volume so this indicates that the the bulk of the volume yesterday in inputs was first of all at these levels here from 39.50 up to four thousand concentrated around 39 70 75 and 80. and then also the um volume was much much greater than the open interest so Traders were trading primarily zero DTE options yesterday and not really taking much much of a position in longer term options and that's reflected in the uh the lack of change in levels for the most part this week okay that is the S P 500 those are the levels so that this explains again where those levels on on my charts come from let's take a look at the NASDAQ now and for the NASDAQ we just look at QQQ ndx is not significant the options Market in ndx is just not significant so we just focus on QQQ for the NASDAQ thank you and this is showing for QQQ the key gamma strike at 290 and then the put wall is also at that level and that is pretty obvious the strike with the largest net negative gamma and then the call wall is up at 310 here a strike with the largest net positive gamma and the thing to note here is really the dominance of put gamma below the 300 level all right let's take a look at data and as usual I'm going to focus on gamma notional this is Market Maker's position on the gamma curve all right there's a question uh Luciano I will get to your question in just a moment when we get back to book map so let me finish up with my positional analysis here and then we'll go through some setups and we'll look at bookmaps so this is the market makers position on the gamma curve for SPX in the left column spy in the middle column and QQQ on the right column and first of all notice that all these numbers are negative so again that means that market makers position on the on the gamma curve is negative and it is pretty significantly negative especially for spy so this means that Traders are long puts and we just saw that in the gamma level charts Traders are long puts market makers are short puts and so that's a positive Delta position and they will have to sell Futures to hedge their Delta exposure as price decreases and that tends to again increase volatility in a negative gamma environment and the changes in the scama notional from yesterday were was mixed the changes were mixed SPX yesterday was minus 502 and today it's minus 463 so a little bit less negative for uh for SPX and spy on the other hand became more negative minus 20 35 yesterday to minus 21 26 today and then QQQ became slightly less negative minus 698 yesterday to minus 689 today so minor shifts in these gamma levels but all still significantly negative all right let's take a look now at Vanna charts which illustrate this point graphically so this is Vanna charts the Vanna model for SPX what this is showing is market makers Delta notional or Delta exposure on the vertical axis and the strike price on the horizontal axis and this is showing that as market makers as price decreases market makers Delta notional increases and they have to sell Futures to hedge their Delta exposure and this green curve is showing the current expiration and that's showing excuse me that is showing how market makers Delta notional changes as implied volatility changes and that's the banner effect the change in Delta with a change in implied volatility and the black line is showing how market makers Delta notional changes as time passes and that's the charm effect the change in Delta as time passes so that is SPX here's my and knows the this deeper curve that you know that corresponds with the gamma notional being quite a bit larger more negative for spy than SPX and then there's QQQ so again all firmly in the negative gamma environment for all indices all right let's take a look at the last thing that I look at in my positional analysis this is the current key gamma strike compared with the previous key gamma strike for all the stocks on my watch list and notice I have trimmed down this watch list and these are just the stocks that I trade and watch on a regular basis and these are large cap tech stocks the indices QQQ and spy and then the vix and notice so on the this right column I'm showing the previous key gamma strike that is from yesterday and then the current key gamma strike for today is shown in this D column and notice there's no change here so that is my that's what I do in my preparation and planning again and then based on this there was not a lot to go to go um uh you know not a lot of guidance in this but my my thesis was neutral to bearish and that was really based on the levels uh the the volatility trigger and zero gamma levels shifting lower and the Spy call Wall shifting lower as well as that concentration of put gamma and the build of put gamma below the 4000 level for SPX and the 400 that will for spy and also you know we saw in this long term chart let's go back and take a look at that that the SPX is slowly shifting lower the levels that are in play are shifting lower okay so that's the planning and preparation and again I pointed out in my in my introduction the importance especially because of all the trading and zero DTE options is to watch order flow and hedging flow during the day so let's go to first of all again the S P 500 futures and let's take a look at at Heroes so this is one part of my execution process and then we'll go take a look at the S P 500 this is the combined signal for SPX and spy they used to call this es and now they're just calling it the SP SBX plus spy and that is the combined calls inputs for SPX and spy and this is what I've been looking at for the S P 500 whatever whether I'm trading futures or spy shares or SPX options this is what I look at this combined signal and this is showing that there were some good Divergent setups actually in the morning just um right at the open a confirmation long and I'm just looking for price to um to follow options trades which is often the case and then confirm that with order flow and I showed showed that a few minutes ago how the order flow shifts from bearish on the way down to bullish on the way up so here's the shift in hero down there's the shift in price and this this was a good Divergent setup probably the first really good clean oops good clean set up here notice how hero starts to rise and then price follows a few minutes later so that is around 10 15. let's go take a look at that and book map and we'll take a look at at spy and at NES so let's go back to es now and let me get to your question now can I a lot on the Luciano the question in YouTube can I elaborate on the background heat map orders and let me it may be easier to see in stock and I'll just let me tighten this up a little bit brighten up the heat map so what this is showing is the history of uh history of passive orders resting orders limit orders in the heat map so this information in the current order book is showing the limit orders the passive orders and the order book Traders waiting to get filled at certain levels and then as those levels as time passes that information is shown on the heat map so this is showing a history of where the liquidity was in the order book okay so that is the S P 500 and then we're looking at this reversal at at around 10 15 and that is that they that's at the SPX I'm sorry es 3950 level zoom in just a little bit more so again we saw the Divergence in hero and now let's let's focus on some things in in book map here and and we talked about the you know the clearly bearish order flow all the pink dots Market cell orders all the way down to the 39.50 level and this is pretty typical at certain levels these large Iceberg orders come in that's shown by the blue there and that's showing 20 2105 contracts and 13 separate executions and those are Iceberg orders those are orders that large Traders use to hide their size and then as price gets going again remember Traders are taking positive uh positive Delta options positions notice the shift to Green Dots there's a retest of somewhere between the s es 3950 and the SPX 3950 level and then price moves higher as the aggressive buyers come in and that's also fueled by stop orders and that's shown by this Rising yellow line buy stop orders and you can also see that with the on chart indicator 650 buy stop orders 358. so the stop order shifts from cell stops to buy stops and the price targets here were that um these two gamma levels and price went straight through the this 3957 level and then chopped around the Spy 396 volatility trigger before dropping lower so the good bullish setup you know similar setups up and down and that was preceded Again by uh by Hero by options trades positive Delta options trades then these Buy buy Iceberg orders and then driven Higher by aggressive buyers and buy stop orders all right that's the S P 500 again multiple up and down setups today confirmed by confirmed by Hero and by order flow all right let's take a look at spy and we'll see similar setups sometimes I think the order flow in es the Futures is a little bit easier to read and spy and on this chart I have the same Cloud notes these are my cloud nodes and I'm noting that the Spy levels you know that is at 396. and then also I have added in the key SPX levels there's the 3950 level and then there's that 3957 level that was in play just at the open so really kind of a sloppy day not really uh uh I'm sorry not really holding to these levels exactly but but close enough all right let's take a look at some stocks now and let's take a I want to take a look at Nvidia first and then we'll go through uh stocks the other stocks starting with with Apple and I thought this was um you know maybe the the clearest setup right so let's let's go take a look at Nvidia so here is hero for NVIDIA and this was uh you know different definite confirmation of price action with options trades let's zoom in a little bit and somewhat of Divergence here in the morning hero definitely makes a lower high and then price follows let's go take a look at book map and then I want to point out one other thing so the the question about the heat map it's a little bit more clear uh in stocks and the heat map showing again the history of liquidity resting orders limit orders and it's certainly more clear with stocks and that's what the heat map is showing so here's the I mean I'm going to zoom in on this the setup in the morning Nvidia makes a series of lower highs notice the cell sweeps down there just below the 230 level and then the break below that level uh you know if you didn't get one of these highs then the break below that level would have been a good entry too and the price Target final price Target down to this 225 liquidity so that was the that was the setup let's go back to go back to Hero now and let me just check something out I might have missed Nvidia when I was adding my levels to the charts let me go back to book map okay yeah I just I I changed the levels of my spreadsheet but I did not uh just did not refresh the level so this is what I was thinking that this was the 230 put wall key gamma strike and the break was below that level and let's take a look let's go back to um go back to Hero now one thing I wanted to point out was this hmm this note here I'm not sure about this time uh noting the Nvidia put wall was breached at 406 A.M and I thought that I thought it was talking about the the put wall breach after the open let's go check that let's go back to bookmap all right so maybe that first note was there right there at 406 a.m but this is the significant move all right so that's Nvidia now let's go take a look at some other stocks let's go to Apple let's go take a look at a hero put these back look at Apple and what I saw was this confirmation or slight Divergence confirmation long around 11 11 15. and that's right here and the reversal higher at the 145.50 liquidity Target would have been the 147 hedge wall liquidity at that level and just like many other stocks Apple's been trading in a tight range now all right so JC and YouTube asked hi Doug do you trade stocks uh trade stocks or SPX and uh hello JC I trade both someone in SPX I primarily trade a little bit longer term options I don't day trade SPX I trade defined risk trades in SPX like butterflies and no I don't focus on one sector I showed the stocks in my watch list and that is so JC asked do I focus only on one sector and I guess the stocks on my watch list are are all tech stocks so yeah I guess you could say that I do do focus on on technology stocks but these are also the biggest stocks in the NASDAQ and S P 500 they're extremely liquid and have options markets that are uh deep and wide okay and he says JC says it seems they are buying calls now and uh in want instrument all right so anyway that's Apple let's go on to AMD and here I saw this Divergent short this was this was pretty clear and Nvidia all right we'll go we'll take take a we'll get back to Nvidia and see what they're doing now so this is the Divergent short that I saw in AMD hero dropping price responds a few minutes later let's go take a look at book map go to AMD and there's that Divergent short at the 80 key gamma strike shown right here in the liquidity at that level and pretty good range for AMD today a couple couple of points all right let's move on take a look at Google all right so let's go take a look at hero now for Google and what I was looking at is this Divergence long hero Rising price follows around 10 30. let's go take a look at hero or book map and there's that long first long 10 30 reversal at the 90 call Wall key gamma strike level and notice these levels can get a little bit mixed up for stocks especially it's kind of unusual to for the S P 500 the call wall for example to be below the key gamma strike I don't know if I've ever seen that for spy before but anyway here's the reversal higher first time just after 10 or the second time after 11. all right the next is meta let's go take a look at hero and confirmation long and short although it was a little bit um a little bit iffy first thing in the morning with hero being flat and then responds actually after price is moving higher so not the best signal there in meta all right let's go back actually let's look at Microsoft first and it looks like Microsoft is trading up and down under range just like the S P 500 and Heroes showing confirmation long and short let's go take a look at book map I don't know and it looks like the uh the shorts were definitely the way to go here and the primary target is down below this 245 level with all the liquidity and that's the key Delta strike let's go back and take a look at hero so this is I I'd marked in my notes confirmation short so I was looking at these right here and notice this notional value this number over on the right is pretty small but it is negative so on net Traders are taking negative Delta positions in Microsoft today all right back to Nvidia and let's see what Traders are doing now so there's a comment that Traders are buying calls now let's see if that's the case and I so the Orange Line shows calls separate from puts which is the blue line and this call line is pretty flat and I'm not putting much much emphasis on that I see the blue line so this is showing this blue line falling shows that Traders are buying puts in Nvidia and notice also this notional value minus 15 versus minus 100 for puts so put you can just see from the line that put buyers are clearly driving Nvidia price and the number is substantially larger or more negative more negative than the call sellers but overall both contributing to the to the drop in Nvidia and here this looks like this might be setting up this Divergence might be setting up a short Nvidia let's go back and take a look at bookmap so Nvidia definitely trading in a Range notice the concentration of volume in this 227 to 228 level you can just see by all the price action there the order flow as well as the the session volume profile all right let's take a look at QQQ all right what I hand in my notes was a Divergence long at around 11 15 and that's a reversal uh looks like Traders are stepping in front of this 290 put wall key gamma strike level so it did act as as support earlier this morning and let's take a look at hero for QQQ so it looks like there were a couple of long setups here and these are the kind of things that I'm looking for these divergences so hero rising and then price responding uh sometime later at key levels so a couple of Divergence long setups but a pretty choppy session and then overall price action somewhat bearish which pretty much lines up with my thesis for the day neutral to bearish and then let's take a look at Tesla and as usual there's a very strong correlation between hedging flow and price action and heroes providing signals both uh up and down low conver confirmation long and short let's just see if breaking outputs and calls gives us any Clarity and yeah it does someone it looks like primarily puts driving so in the morning Traders were buying puts that's a clear pretty clear Divergent signal there and then as price drop down to um around this 200 key gamma strike Traders stop buying puts and that in that flow of options puts it has since leveled off at the 200 key gamma strike and let's go take a look at bookmap s so here's Tesla sharp drop great setup as Traders were buying puts first thing in the morning whoops wrong tool try again down to the 200 key gamma strike I'm looking at this level right here and then the liquidity down below at 199. and Tesla is a pretty volatile stock High beta and it's not necessarily going to respect levels quite as closely as the indices right so there's Tesla short setup and then you know potential Longs as well but the best setup was in the morning if you were fast following puts and then the you know the clear Target at the 200 key gamma strike and that the bonus of uh down to 199. okay so Joe uh e says uh hi Doug can you compare the options flow from spot gamma and treaty ticks and sorry I'm not familiar with tradie ticks I don't know anything about it I use spot gamma and it provides everything that I need I think it's a great service and speaking of spot gamma let's just take a quick glance at the new interface and I just I have two screens up here the same dashboard so this is showing um again they've combined Equity Hub and uh hero into one page here so I'm showing down below here this is my watch list in what used to be Equity Hub and now it's all on this one screen and let's go to well we can take a look at Tesla here it's on Tesla let's leave it so this is showing the composite view chart showing that puts dominate below this 220 strike and that is also the call wall we can see here that's the call wall and that's also the pivot level between the red put domination and the green call domination above and then the other key levels are shown on that chart and the light lighter colors indicates a moderate position size let's take a look at the put and call impact chart and I think it's be a great to be able to see all of this on one one screen oops and I have I have not had they just introduced this this morning so I have not had much time to play with us but I think this is great this is something that I had to ask for this uh the ability to um zoom in on this and this is showing the gamma levels orange is showing call gamma above and put gamma below and the smart gamma makes a different assumption for single stocks than they do for indices so here for stocks like Tesla smart gamma is assuming that Traders are long calls and or long puts and market makers are short calls and or short puts so this would all be uh I'll be negative gamma calls inputs but this is showing the gamma levels Zoom back out I'm going to zoom in just a little bit more showing the key gamma levels with these long vertical bars the change in gamma shown by these curves oranges calls blue as puts this is a live chart showing price action again around that 200 key gamma strike after the quick drop in the morning and this these bars on the left here are showing the gamma levels and notice the concentration of call and put gamma at the 200 level and this is a skew chart this is showing implied volatility for puts below this Delta 50 line and calls Above This Delta 50 line so not much demand for calls here at least shown on this this chart and then finally we can look at the five-day history so this is actually going back to 215 so it's actually showing longer than five days here and that's great showing this history you can see that the the key gamma strike for Just For example has remained at 200 since the middle of February okay so that's uh that's all I have for today let's wrap it up just wanted to go over this interface I'm going to spend more time with this over the next few days and I'll be able to show more so this is really the first time I'm seeing this but it looks like it's a a great enhancement so again kudos to spot gamma I want to thank everybody for watching today and thanks for your question comments and I will see you tomorrow thanks again bye |

WraGbYJysCg | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WraGbYJysCg | EWC: Iran War, what it is and how to stop it | now let's hello and welcome to an evening with comrades a little later than usual damn you daylight savings we need the one universal time all across the world but luckily joining us tonight we have dip depth yeah we also have with us a fear I'm wanted for 1800 count chewing gum yes I am what many war crimes in Africa we also have with us Peck man welcome Peck men greetings and salutations Terrestrial leftists how goes it and I will be your host DK Jones and let's jump right into it although the media might be saying that things are dying down we have a few more incidents cropping up about Iran because tonight is our Iran special yeah we start with a couple of news items we're in in the Strait of Hormuz and the Strait of Hormuz a Russian warship came within I'm sorry to use imperial 60 yards of a u.s. warship before then turning away so it was sailing aggressively at it there's also video footage being released of a missile being launched at the Ukrainian airplane so it was shot down and yes could you fill us in on that well um so obviously is speculation but if you look at the circumstances it's pretty clear that's what happened you know Iran is expecting United States strike fighters and bombers to well come in and [ __ ] class the country you know as the u.s. is historically known to do now on the radar alright the silhouette of passenger plane that was flown looks vaguely like that so what it was was that military personnel sitting in SAM sites got a little antsy so that passenger plane on their radar and we're scared that it was a u.s. bomber shot it down yeah I mean this is not new the black box oh yeah they didn't do it they make they swear they didn't do it like look this is a common issue we sort of we saw the same thing we feel the same thing during the South Korean incident in the 1980s and it's with the Soviet Union and it's very much the same sort of circumstance and I would actually bet I would actually bet that it's a similar circumstance and reason I say that is it anyone who doesn't think that there are high-level surveillance and tactical assets of the United States over Iran right now is an absolute eat I'd almost guarantee that the United States has some form of stealth aircraft over flying over flying around at this time they haven't revealed its idaite propaganda video of about I think it's 50 stealth u.s. stealth fighters all taking off at the same time and headed for Iran according to the video um while I sort of find that I just can't go high enough to like no really they they they sort of show up like the best way I can describe it is that like you you've got stealth drones you've seen their stealth drones that you don't make a more traumatic our carriers those sort of triangle looking things I can't remember exactly call my guess is that the United States has plenty of stealth surveillance assets over Iran at this time possibly even still strike aircraft on standby that being of course beaters or some other form we've seen all of movement from P twos in recent in recent months like in terms of deployments and they have global reach so I think what we saw here is that US surveillance activity and the u.s. aerial activity in the Strait of Hormuz was spiking and the SAM sites were put on higher alert and yeah this jet walked into the firing arc of a SAM site and the Sam and the Sam Croom blasted it very much the kick very similar to what I think is they mistook it for a b-1 Lancer possibly but how they would do that I don't know I think honestly I think it's panic yeah I mean in the case of the Soviet Union's shoot down of the Korean flight in the 1980s it was very much a similar situation in the sense that there were US military and US surveillance operations going on illegally inside their airspace but they shot at the wrong plane and I think that's what's happened own assets that's another problem with still so still assets because you can't really make out what the [ __ ] it is and you're trying to find and shoot it down soon as you got something you're gonna launch a missile at it yeah the fact that Iran's denying it is yeah that's a stupid thing I and of all the aircraft it could have shot down it shut down a Ukrainian aircraft I think erosion civilian died as well yeah look it's not gonna go well for them like in any in some weird way it might even help deescalate the situation because that might that might ER call if you call a few heels between Iran and Russia in terms of friendly collaboration the crash site itself of the airplane has accorded to report I saw on the live map thing it's the the crash site has been stripped clean there's no cordoning off of the area for and there's no signs of any investigation happening of course yeah [ __ ] the Cotswolds the [ __ ] political Iranian military came in took the black box and [ __ ] my home yeah no survivors if I remember correctly no the Iranians the Iranians have the black boxes it's almost they grab the black box and what happened to the scrap in the [ __ ] nope and that's that's the but that's the basic fact as long as we don't have the black boxes we don't prove it even the video so it's just trying to do what damage control they can even big I'm not convinced that they haven't destroyed them honestly okay because I would there's a weird aspect to what's going on with this potential World War three in that we have live video updates and live tweeting of what's happening and any any attempt at like sneaky subterfuge is undone because someone on the ground has a smartphone and they take a photo of it so it's like what before we were going live a couple of days ago I was actually in a meeting with a few other leftists actually and just before that meeting started I was scrolling through all of the different updates and one of them was about an earthquake I made jokes about this already that we're just recreating the plot to ARMA 3 in Reverse 4.7 in a magnitude 4.5 earthquake machine mm-hmm one near Baghdad and one across the thing from Kuwait yes good question what the [ __ ] actually happened there yeah what new source is actually credible how do we know any news every [ __ ] article I read even from like high tier news sources put earthquakes in quotation marks didn't really elaborate on why they did that mm-hmm underground nuclear test by the Iranians maybe no I wouldn't mind you underground test of nuclear devices are usually pretty useful mainly because you don't have a restriction on hey is it a coincidence that I know a lot about nuclear weapons I don't know it maybe it is thing is like even if you said all the [ __ ] tsubame underground did not cause an earthquake that magnitude no it wouldn't but it would but it would cause a bit of a shake even so a bit of a shake like magnitude three but never before like a 4.5 yeah you'd have to [ __ ] set off the entire [ __ ] Russian nuclear arsenal at the same point you know I pay good money for that you see the trouble I have just locally if you will is that all of the crazy people are trying to talk about it on the Facebook group that's about where I live I don't want to accidentally dock myself but it's like it's everybody knows what city you already live in at least try to know but it's like it's like name of town soap box where you can have you say essentially but it's full of like chemtrail ambulance-chasing greens yeah yeah what this saying and that's what happens in regional Victoria yeah what they're saying on there right now is that because the the Russians knew that the plane was gonna get shot down and that that a Russian citizen was on there so they activated the earthquake machine and aimed it at Iran you know thing is ironically the Americans are much more likely to have a device like that because the CIA in the 70s actually did research into these sorts of things actually it made the CIA an actual literal weather machine because they wanted to see that whether they could conjure up a typhoon to destroy enemy armies in Vietnam the CIA has done a lot of things that pales in comparison to what a conspiracy theorist can think of oh yeah ok the scheming present company in this call I want to talk about something I given present company in this call I really want to talk about something so but continue your thoughts ok it's it's like I reckon the conspiracy theories they're part of the conspiracy to distract people from what the CIA is actually doing there was a project by the United States Air Force and the CIA back in the old days back in the good old days when we when we scared the [ __ ] out of them and it was for a method of demoralizing enemy forces in the field in order to reduce their combat effectiveness by undermining their ability to perform their duties it was done by him yeah is the gay bomb yes about the gay bomb the CIA the CIA in the US Air Force experimented in pheromones and hormone and hormones and means of distribution in order to work out a way to turn all the soldiers on the battlefield horrific League a like so gay that they are literally tearing each other's clothes off the moment they can in order to reduce their it's actually you think the [ __ ] gay bomb I remember correctly the conclusion they came to with that somewhere along the lines of recreated human impulse control is a little too strong for that aggressively oh yeah okay look look the kind of [ __ ] that the CIA has tried to and since some cases actively pulled like they'd [ __ ] try it out and try out nerve agent some [ __ ] US citizens on US soil hmm throwback to introducing crack into black neighborhoods like the West they wanted to knew it was Miami or Chicago and blame it on Castro too like saying we'll go to war with Cuba yeah well that's actually a real thing Robert McNamara presented like this is the conspiracy theory why happen happen to buy into as to why 911 is sauces [ __ ] is because it's eerily similar to the plans that Robert McNamara put forward like we're gonna have Cuban refugees and Cuban infiltrators hijack u.s. airliners and crash them into major intimated just civilian targets and set off bombs and do all that and I use that as a justification to invade Cuba I don't think that authorities were directly involved in the planning and execution but no pretty obvious that they were warned didn't do anything DB Michael was in the facts a Cuban exile hired by the CIA to crash the plane and blame them to blame it on Cuba like sort to sort of try to bring it back to Iran given that the US has done this kind of [ __ ] before or the CIA is 100% active in Iran just like oh yeah it's the most active so how do we know that any news coming from America about Iran is legit like yeah critical about it you have to check what their sources are mmm this all kicked off with the assassination of that general I myself personally don't know all that much about him and what he was doing can any one no one no one be a butcher in the war criminal but like who isn't in that part of the [ __ ] world isn't with the title general oh yeah oh yeah problematic check yourself Westerner critical support for Isis and the spots taught us nothing critical support just means support stop being a liberal yeah I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna fight you on that one I'm gonna fight you on that one dip that because critical support is literally exactly that I am supporting you because this is a good thing for the working class and the liberation of this particular thing but you are also doing bad things which I am criticizing you for but that's what it's supposed to mean what it actually means for junkies is yeah you must earn a CLE support genocide or Middle Eastern regimes otherwise you're a puppet of Western imperialism yeah like this is this is the weird thing that I you notice about these circles because a lot of a [ __ ] but the CIA does has done and is planning to do [ __ ] ridiculous we all know it there's this in a sense in our like logic especially among leftists to be reasonable the thing is the CIA not reasonable I know yeah so really it's honestly more of a question of can they do it more so than would a state act to do this because during the drug war in like South America there were a lot of incidents where Green Berets CIA agents and the FBI shot at each other in skirmishes that's the state of the [ __ ] the [ __ ] US military the Brits had that issue in Northern Ireland as well where the where the DUP and the British Army would exchange fire until people realize what the [ __ ] was going on we actually had Green Berets busting up known CIA operations it's not a question know if they won't will or anything it's if they can like yeah if they can afford it they'll do it and they can afford just about anything the US military budget is and you like yeah that's the cool thing about the about the u.s. budget is that there is this sort of weird sort of you know grey zone for the budget which is like you know designated you know special Appropriations Committee for you know protection of the environment or some [ __ ] right and what it actually means is is literally black ops yeah it's like there's more money into operations but you don't want to know we don't want the public to know where it goes to and nine times out of ten developments programs or [ __ ] you know people buy this you don't want the public to know that you killed mmm say I don't know are you as president not you know not saying anything but you know it's not like EML does not support the theory that President Kennedy was assassinated by the CIA like I just think it's a bit suspicious that were the CAA was was when the time came to open the files the President ordered an executive order to keep some of them under lock anyway it's it's it's real news report and then a satire news report the real report was that I think it was Trump ordered or has arranged for three thousand more troops to be funneled into the Middle East and into Kuwait I think it is in the way out of Fort Bragg I think seven hundred soldiers have been holed up and they're being deployed there and then and then the jerk article was that said hum plans to bolster the troops in the Middle East has been undone when three thousand seven hundred soldiers develop bone spurs at the same time yeah that got me thinking though it's like how with such a big such a big machine that is the war machine of the US is it even possible to fight against it what can we do we as [ __ ] I mean for [ __ ] posters from around the world doing a stream right now what can we do against it's that's that's literally just a root of version of what I just said sorry yeah well what can we actually do absolutely [ __ ] nothing um talk to people who personally know that's about it yeah what's the thing is the thing is with with these sorts of situations we're not actually in a position to really do anything the only thing we are really in a position do stop your relative signing up yeah and mess organize with other movements more liberal movements you know when you say liberal it sort of feels like this disgusting thing on your tongue you're like laughs but yeah you have to deal with you have to deal with more liberal movements like you know like let's be honest here I went to a protest yesterday for action on climate change into a hashtag sack Scott Morrison dab right we do need to get that like recreate that energy that the [ __ ] Vietnam era yeah that's the idea that was backed by the draft those we haven't because there's there's lots of memes about that yes yeah but the thing is that attitude of man [ __ ] this that dad isn't directly bound because a lot of the people who did go to these anti-war protests weren't just people who didn't want to get drafted it was also you know women veteran people who letter ends go yeah like I said to the people who were in Korea we're like and um who protested against the Gulf War and later the invasion of Iraq the early two-thousands Vietnam vets yeah and who's who's um like a lot of Iraq vets are now standing at these for the love of God let's not go with Iran no don't don't [ __ ] sign up like this it this is the thing it's I I was gonna sort of think like that's really what we have to do we have to work with hashtag the Liberals and the reason we do is because let me put it this way I went to this protest yesterday and while I was out there having a merry old time I met up with my Union who are out there the United Workers Union and I nice and I stood with them who were indeed and I stood with them and we discussed we were talking about how you know we had green we had green senators Sarah Hansen young come up and make a big speech we had all these different big speeches going on we had an absolutely like look I don't go in for for young angry liberals very often let's be honest but this guy I don't know whether he was an immigrant from a sort of US territory or whether he was actually an American or like I don't hear that he was an Aussie he was something else entirely maybe English I don't know like one of those English migrants where you have that sort of weird we had sort of accent anyway this guy gave the speech of a [ __ ] lifetime I'm telling you what anyway point is ran into the ran into salt of course they're selling their newspaper that's very usual the same guy I ran into it the last Friday the same Saltman anyway right I was there and it look liberals right ok do I need it like they are talking about reforms action how we need to do this how we need to do this so we need to do this and you know young Millennials making impassioned speeches about the environment and climate change no it's also horrible but I don't want to sound like a favor but the truth is even from their speeches you've got the impression that these like there was some there was some whiff of revolutionary activity but it wasn't quite there yet and I'm standing here with my Karl Marx t-shirt on with sharing is caring and blazed on it with my with my backpack with a giant [ __ ] hammer and sickle right on them and you know and you want to bet channel 10 their camera van was near me they probably got back shot of me saying ah you see it's the Communists but you see yeah this is the thing that I've found a lot of trouble with like trying their um talk to people like on a personal basis it's because they were they're angry and they understand that something's wrong but you try to explain to them that what is yeah um there's this overwhelming dread that I find very hard to convince people otherwise like there's no alternative it will never be an alternative that's that's deep attitude people have and I found it very hard to even like get through to them because the idea of not this is so alien to the average person that it's become yeah it really is that i-i-i tried sort of i was you see it's not that i don't think that being sincere they're trying their little hearts out okay I get it but the boomers do have a point in one sense where it does honestly sound like this is their organization name and I quote directly mmm-hmm college students for action against climate change okay it's vague but not only that it's not movement it's not organization it's not party it's not it's college students and to me personally maybe it's just my own integral bias probably is but to me that does reinforce the stereotype of angry teenagers yelling at society without actually [ __ ] doing anything it it's not I think I think there are a lot of things that we need to learn like to stop doing one of them and this I think is a really really important thing that we need to actually [ __ ] start doing right we need to get out there and we need to start well explaining these things over and over because this is something that the Wright has um like mastered it's the fact that repetition works mm-hmm like you know I think we're a little too honest honestly like we look at these things and we go well but we need to be honest well we are honest repetition doesn't have to be an insidious thing you know if we repetitiously state the facts of what the [ __ ] is so [ __ ] up and then continue to state this isn't the only way we there is another another world is possible that repetition that works too you know it doesn't just have to be [ __ ] lies that are spouted out until people [ __ ] believe them truth it works with truth as well you know we have to in a sense give people this we have to plant that seed and we have to [ __ ] hammer it in and so there's the nurturing until people because people genuinely do no longer believe that you can get better but it can get better if we hammer that in then we've got a chance mmm that's what we gonna do we got a make believe that they're not lost because that's the way most people feel at the moment they feel [ __ ] lost yeah absolutely people are so [ __ ] alienated from themselves and from society and from everything around them their family their friends the things they own everything that the world is scary the world is isolating and it seems because capitalist ideology has done so that's you versus everyone else mmm you are in competition with everyone who is on the same level as you not that you can like they think that it's to the point where it's conspiratorial I think so take two people and a factory job or three people in a factory job eat they may be friendly to each other they may call each other a friend those are there there's an unconscious knowing or unconscious like feeling that they're in competition with these two people to get the next mannerism they're no longer seen as equal playing field friends people of the same interest will the same like interest group they're seen as competing forces to meet an end goal and if they screw you over if you screw them over [ __ ] [ __ ] you I got mine yeah it's not just that either capitalism likes our present itself as the ultimate meritocracy mm-hmm but if anything it's the opposite it's the ultimate in it I think that's such a thing as a meritocracy is literally impossible because the very concept is based on like the way the productive forces are competitively organized like even Simon that's what that's why in [ __ ] feudal systems it wasn't really an idea that existed because didn't make sense didn't the guy that popularized meritocracy use as a joke took a poke yeah it was a boys a [ __ ] I think it was a [ __ ] one of the early French like dopey and socialists that sort of it was a it was what is it food here I don't think it was nobody way it was Michael Dunlop young in 58 oh yeah yeah oh yeah like it was poking fun at the very idea that well he's read it by the way please read it's a very good sociological work yeah I think that's what I'm sort of getting at though is meritocracy like the the best man for the job kind of attitude is what sort of people say that capitalism does our competition weeds out the weak and leaves only the strong but genuinely speaking though weeds out it weeds out the underprivileged and it weeds out the underprivileged it weeds out that is only if you can only have that sort of system if you have an equal starting if oh yeah already having power yeah exactly how does variate by either like doing non Meritus things to people that either don't have power or have power already or have power already yeah and that's what since we started to talk about power and competency and having the right people in power I wanted to shift slightly to are we going to talk about the Bern or are we going to talk about like the idea that if you're gonna have you gotta have the best people in charge and I know this is quite a bit of a 180 so we're gonna get flashed by but um in a recent speech Donald Trump one down yes he appears to be exhibiting symptoms of sundowning dip down I think you were the one who wanted to okay so sundowning is a term used to describe a side effect of dementia and Alzheimer's it is used to mean that the person who is the sufferer over the day gets worse throughout the day so the longer they are awake the worse they get we we know that Trump sleeps like three hours a day so it gets pretty [ __ ] bad like he stated this for years these leaps three hours a day which is also [ __ ] terrible for your mental health and could be a leading cause into developing such a condition he rambles he stutters he just and the generals behind him look absolutely [ __ ] terrified oh the [ __ ] saying like you know what this is this is also a big problem because other than in the 60s we don't have an established military Kader and control you know that Nixon tried to new Cambodia in a drunken rage in the only thing that was between him and the literal button was Henry Kissinger do you know that that's kind of hilarious she can't be really drunk and he was like working a new Cambodia and the only thing that stopped him we said Henry Kissinger knew that bad idea and you're drunk but that's because he'd been in that position for decades he had that semblance of power over the president nobody in government like that exists at the moment if Trump in a fit of [ __ ] whatever the [ __ ] it is the Manzon stable not even like in the liberal or the man's and stable like the man genuinely I don't think no president can you at any point in time with anything so the generals current like if the president says you nuke this or that they have to do it unilaterally under any circumstance on a whim right now he could tell them to do canal I they'd have to do it anyway that they'd actually do it it's a different question by law they would have to do mad that is why the [ __ ] in u.s. is so dangerous even the [ __ ] Soviets the [ __ ] serious at least needed the [ __ ] like [ __ ] before the unilateral order was given they needed I think at least two-thirds of the cabinet too greedy on this policy yeah it was it was a case of it's sort of like a you know if it's a joke in dr. Strangelove like winning attack plan ah but the Soviets really did have that in the sense that unless it was wing attack plan ah that being the Soviet Union has got like 20 minutes left to live because there are nukes on the way unless it's that situation where they can launch a unilateral strike any use of Soviet nuclear weapons required for a democratic consent to use by the Politburo to to use ya know that the u.s. president orders and exactly why even during the Cold War the United States was always considered the more volatile nuclear power mm-hmm yeah there's no be too paranoid to because they were in the [ __ ] Cold War but the Soviets were a hundred times less likely to just randomly nuke someone so we've got an incompetent bumbling possibly possibly mean I'll yeah you can't even speak properly or no finish his sentence believe me who has put if if the report is correct nuclear capable planes in the air and headed towards Iran here this is what actually infuriates me about the [ __ ] [ __ ] lives because they're not terrified you know we're terrified because the boy might be lit on fire by this man no they did they just don't like him a shitty petty reasons that don't actually not actually the reasons that genuinely affect people Orange yes orange man was a butcher why he's bad right yeah this is the exact same thing um Obama basically had a [ __ ] Republican social and economic policy Obama pieces he basically gave them a [ __ ] budget that was verbatim just Bush's budget mm-hmm I wonder why they didn't like him anyway what what could it be about Barack Obama the mmm white racists don't like rock Hussein could it be now I know this sounds crazy but could it be that it was because he was black I want to be very clear Obama [ __ ] terrible [ __ ] war criminal but he had his mental faculties drunk yeah likely does not because I looked through his tweets at night and his night tweets don't have grammatical errors have punctuation he doesn't use and such doesn't sound like him either it doesn't read like him sound like him it has a different vocabulary this man he's [ __ ] sundowning like he he has something they can't slow down the first meeting cuz was in late in the day he's some things up like and there are these like you know videos off from the [ __ ] fourth of July last year remember that mm-hmm yeah and there are points in time of that where the processions moving on and he's just sort of standing there staring out into nothingness he's [ __ ] zoning out mm-hmm like I'm again we're not saying this in a [ __ ] Oh hmm all right we don't bad or even though mentally ill people um what we're saying is that callous evil people um who definitely are beginning to forget not just the chaos of social acceptance but also you know the rules of society she'd probably not have the power to launch unilateral nuclear weather strikes hmm where for the [ __ ] they please without any recourse like even if Trump if Trump [ __ ] I don't know busted his ball or something I was like [ __ ] like nuke France or something and I mean critical support for this action they would have like the generals maybe they refused but they'd be committing a [ __ ] high treason found out because someone [ __ ] leap leaked it think oh that who was the one that was able to talk a president down from nuking someone you say [ __ ] Henry Kissinger oh boy I don't think it's soccer bar no we're talking about Henry Kissinger and how he talked out Nixon from nuking Cambodia oh that's a shame and all right the president could in a case of sleep dementia or something decide we're gonna we're gonna do a unit like France like not even in there not even in that Oh because by US policy no one could stop him if a general if the generals refused to order that's high treason technically fun I'd like to think that the u.s. cabinet wouldn't be [ __ ] Thailand enough to do it but you know they might you know one can hope but the thing is the law states that they have to obey and add it to the fact that the cabinet is intentionally filled with cowards and yes Minh doesn't paint a nice picture cuz all the Hart people had initially got it well they're all out of cabinet because they talk back to the president he didn't like that also they might be [ __ ] the worst-case scenario like if they best-case scenario deny it right and say no worst case scenario is they get [ __ ] executed and to be fair they'll die anyway and it'll be beautiful um and I will be proven right yet again yeah again I mean obviously one could argue that this is a point in time of the vice president could take control but I'll be honest with you I don't think pencil care clearly the minds of sociopath all he cares about is that he can manipulate as president into doing things that that he would probably already do that effect on people well I don't really think we I mean realistically I don't think the danger really so much is an actual shooting wall the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran I think what's Oh honestly I'm not even talking about this specific instance in Iran but I'm I'm just pointing out the fact that um it for you as president decides to get stupid he could literally nuke US soil by law or any place in the [ __ ] world and the generals if they said no would be committing high treason yeah anyway as I was saying I think likely is a sort of a sort of escalation of sort of proxy wars between you know cuz you know each side Iran and the United States have their various regional forces that they you know by supplying them with flemmings and intelligence and various things like that I think we'll see an escalation of flex more sort of sectarian violence in Iraq between Sunnis and Shias and more stuff along those lines rather than an actual proper I mean war between you know these two nation-states really I don't think that's particularly likely there's gonna be people smart enough to know that you just you don't go to war with Iran because that's not the point okay okay it doesn't matter whether they like no it's the fact that the capitalism necessitates these walls consequence of the sort of market crashes we have and they obviously they don't actively know that but um they can tell that it's necessary they might not understand why they go I mean like if they worse if they if that's what they were thinking TK they would have left Afghanistan ten years ago you got a good point there actually like this is this is something I'd like to weigh in on this on this particular one because you don't want to go with to war with Iran for another very important they have cetacean allies come right they have trained killer dolphins that's a commie ex-soviet trained dolphins specifically designed to hunt down Navy SEAL divers and attach mines to the bottom of ships these these guys Peter I hope you know that if you ever come into possession of nuclear weapons I'm going to have to commit to the carry and violence on you well I am my entire ideology is based around the fact that I will eventually come into position my knowledge is based on the idea that no [Laughter] no the end yeah no I'm just gonna stand in front of capitalism and say no just saying since we've mentioned the meme of the Communist comrade dolphins there is a anti-war aspect to the trend of memes that are coming out in that there's a lot of the memes are debunking the misinformation one of my favorite ones was like someone's the confused face guy with the question mark saying like how did have freedoms get into Iran question face so if that's the sort of meme narrative that's coming out of it I wanted to ask dipped up and now Barbie like boots on the ground what's the consensus from the general population about the Iran war in America the u.s. no one is no one's fooled like we know this is going to be I have a contention though my mother is 100% sold well your mom's gay [Laughter] I knew that was [ __ ] coming people are like so sold on other than yeah believe it that's because horse right you're gonna it's [ __ ] America like of course there's gonna be people like that with any [ __ ] uh [ __ ] military adventure but I think it's pretty I mean we just suck it we think they're well morally yes yeah we've been [ __ ] in Afghanistan and Iraq for almost as long as I've been alive now like people people are like they've seen this before like you know they know where this is gonna basically lead to if it happens like most people aren't falling for it this is the thing though that I would really like to point out tip that especially um we've reached that later stage of capitalism that the u.s. is now actively commodifying its own propaganda yes like it's something to consume that yes yeah but now it did like deep even the [ __ ] regular ass [ __ ] soapbox speeches that you think of when you hear the word propaganda even that's being commodified now the army posts memes on instagram yeah they do the army the US army means it does mean when what an army recruiter sees like a kid with a 1.5 gb a like yeah like I'm like I'm scrolling through the US Army's [ __ ] Twitter I broke TK in the end um I think to an extent that does like the veil fell we've been through too many walls in the short enough period of time like the u.s. used to go through walls in an interval right start at one wall and then the next generation would be grown up by the time they got involved in the next major invasion like after what would - I don't really count because they were pulled into it but let's say Korea the fifties right hmm the people who were toddlers in the [ __ ] 50s during the Vietnam War were eligible in the Korean War were eligible for drafts but the time the Vietnam War rocked around and the people who were born after the Vietnam War ended we're eligible for draft and not draft but like we're eligible for recruitment after the Vietnam War by the time the Gulf War rocked around then the Iraq war uh and then we have the outlier we invaded Afghanistan when the [ __ ] veil fell like ever since the [ __ ] Afghanistan conflict raged on for as long as it has and has been as pointless as it has and more soldiers are seeing it happen and they're starting to default until and now we're starting another less than like while the other one is still going on we like that feedback loop happened down before I'm imagining the u.s. is like a child sitting at a table and the mother is just like like this is this was the cycle for a long long time for being black during the Cold War but that was to an extent because the US had a counterbalance that if they became too aggressive and more and more aggressive the Soviets would you know sent more deterrence so there was an incentive for the u.s. to what's the counterbalance the big counterbalance to the US right now China the Chinese don't care well the Chinese probably are like ok with it because the u.s. is continuing to buy their [ __ ] yeah like the Russians don't have the money to care who cares [ __ ] insurgent groups in the Middle East yeah ok be wrong poor [ __ ] Afghani families had their families massacred by Americans the US has no counterbalance that is probably the most disastrous effect to the end of the Cold War the fact that the US can now unilaterally do [ __ ] like whatever yeah mm you know in [ __ ] 2003 I think it was that they went to Iraq the second time I like to quote one of my favorite gem comedians like after 9/11 we gotta take revenge on someone yeah but we don't know yeah who you want to take revenge on that's kind of a problem with suicide bombers well we got a cake up the people responsible yeah but we don't know who where they are well we could invade Iraq why this is saying if something to do with it no but we know where he is yeah kind of that's what um state quoting the same paraphrasing the same comedian but I really like this analogy Bush one you know the senior the older the old Bush when he invaded Iraq for the first time he left Hussein in power deliberately to have and I quote an [ __ ] in the closet that you can pull out whenever someone when you need a scapegoat to beat someone up Maya you could just send some [ __ ] carpet bombs over an Iraqi city and everything will be fine at home again they tried to artificially create the counterbalance that they lost with the [ __ ] follow the Soviets well it's it's you know hilarious because part of the reason why we were tolerant of Saddam as long as we were was because he was essentially a a counter to Iran in the region basically because you know Saddam waged a quasi genocide a war against the Iranians in the eighties like several hundred thousand people died in that war oh yeah that was an actual deal between the [ __ ] US and the Iraqis you know you had invades you invade this theocracy you topple the government and the [ __ ] oil fields you take on the border region you can keep those yeah it's it's like you know there's [ __ ] Iranian through [ __ ] fault back how dare they and one it's it's ridiculous because we you know we invade Iraq and we topple the Baathist regime there and you know then we're just shocked that Iran kind of more or less takes over in Iraq even though Iraq is also a majority Shia country like if you didn't want Iran to take over Iraq then you shouldn't have overthrown Saddam like what did you expect was going to happen well Bush Junya doesn't understand didn't understand to your politics very well I oppose there's a lot of things yeah and people wanted to go to war he didn't garel get the implications of what would happen so it just kind of did him but like no the burn first iran-iraq war like three grand Iraq war you know the war was over and there's evidence to suggest that the Americans might have actually insinuated to st. he could occupy Kuwait name just changed their mind afterwards like what did the booty who's saying do differently and could wipe and he didn't Iran nothing he just turned around yeah exactly said that exactly that is you just turn around you say well I can't get the Iranian ones because the Iranian military is too strongly beat me so I'm gonna turn around and go off this country that doesn't have the other problem is a Kuwaiti oil fields belong to the America yeah that was the exact problem like Bush was incompetent we know Bush was incompetent like if you've read the things he said you know he's [ __ ] like da megami you're talking about right yes yeah W Bush isms are the funniest [ __ ] but most of our imports come from overseas boys didn't you know the same thing doubly so I and it I to you I posed to you Trump is literally just an evolved form of that phenomenon W Bush with Leslie it's it's the same problem Trump and Bush are definitely results of what I call the great retarding of the Republican Party to be made that that kind of started with Reagan that whole movement that I just mentioned but I don't know I kind of feel like bush ii was kind of really the first real first really successful one because mom but one where it was so obvious with because reagan as terrible as he was like reagan was at least reagan was [ __ ] evil but Reagan couldn't Irishman he had charisma um we thrown that out of the window I mean I know we don't like to talk about it but Trump was basically elected on a ticket of I am very rude no one is as rude as me I am NOT the other person yeah that and he said he wasn't supposed to he was rude he was elected because he was transgressive and well funny people were [ __ ] apathetic you know for the last for the past 10 to 15 years they had switched between basically the same [ __ ] actual [ __ ] policies with just a different mask what's the actual intrinsic difference between Bill Clinton and George W Bush actually it's go further than that what's the intrinsic difference internally and externally policy-wise between both Bush Bill Clinton and Obama no like the only difference is a few social policies make up exactly what I said it's funny PR yeah it appeals to make up for two for the two different camps the country really mm-hmm where Obama Obama's token social policies were makeup for liberal [ __ ] libs we've [ __ ] savior complex complexes about minorities it was for the bushes and to an extent now Trump well less Trump but to an extent it was make up for the closet like hardline Christian racists who didn't like to admit the fact that they were racists even to themselves and they well had now had someone that for eight years told them no no you guys fine you're you're wonderful people you're great you're amazing that's really what it is it's [ __ ] circle check trumped it what what people like found some offensive was that he just took the makeup away and just stood there in front of us quasi naked made a series of bro moments that we try to shift the conversation slowly again so we touched on it earlier before with a quick explanation of what critical support is what I see on left book is a lot of people not understanding or getting confused about people saying so for example someone will say no war with Iran and then they'll say how dare you support Iran they attack and kill el communist comrades to which the person replies no I don't support Iran so what's the new ones here like can we uncritically not support the US right hate is [ __ ] stupid that's not a question TK TK do you oppose the war in Afghanistan do you support the Taliban [Music] what difference here support the Iranian and the American proletariat don't support the government's we're both [ __ ] butchers support Isis against US imperialism when the ICL said that I was like oh my god like okay you see we need to transcend that now now we have to critically defend it's imperialism against Isis support something I don't know that's the evolution here uncritically support [ __ ] the left-wing or if the farthest left wing and Democrats are some [ __ ] I don't know it I don't really buy most critical support stuff because most people who say critical support aren't very critical about it it's a dog whistle yes absolutely it is like it's it's the it's like when people say racist things without wanting to acknowledge the fact that they are Isis to other people so it's like it's the I'm not racist but of political statements mmm especially when Richard Spencer is trying to support Iran against us you know how the right-wingers on like [ __ ] chubs on Twitter have like all that pronoun and bio I haven't I have a new one that we can use [ __ ] flag in by a flagon by Oh eat my ass get on that get off that [ __ ] oh yeah that's uh it's Flag heads is what people call those people yeah flag in by a [ __ ] eat my ass no think I've Coleman flag cabbages before when I was really tired I have a lot of insults on to what like the one that I made the the homes just go on like a rant because I called him a state bird honest our religion I still want to call on American monarch as to HAP's burger because I can't wait to use it like actually use it saying always anti-flag stuff as I stare at my flag collection okay I mean PKK there's a big love hot flag a rainbow flag yeah you have a point with that if you had Hagin say oh that's the North Korean flag an Iranian flag a Syrian Flay like all these [ __ ] batshit fast Jason regimes that just perpendicularly opposed to US interests and that's why the [ __ ] tank easy they've taken county opinion on [ __ ] war they take a cop out human it's just like outski they're [ __ ] renegades for medians like I keep wanting to use the very common German insult of Kouts which actually doesn't mean old man but the reason it became an insult of kotsky it's an actual insult we still use in Austria yeah I was almost being a contrarian and just being a [ __ ] [ __ ] who doesn't understand any of the things to talking about we call them accounts even if you're not a leftist that's just a thing here I mean I I've started calling a lot of ml's that take these lines and anyone that calls lines as well but it's mostly I'm owls they're all couch nights they're all [ __ ] outs yeah it's yeah I think I think a lot of bats that you see with people online especially from MLS I think a lot of it stems from a a certain desperation to sort of have anything anything to latch on to anything root for in the world in at this point in this you know these circles this is an incredibly lukewarm take but this is because the specific tenants that they follow were created as sort of thought defense and upholding and defense of the Soviet Union now that the Soviet Union doesn't exist anymore it's a purposeless ideology and must be applied to anything that does not defend you as interests yeah and well it obviously doesn't [ __ ] work because this is a big problem that we all have I think on the left but ml's just [ __ ] die from it is that they cannot get out of the cold war like we constantly deep Dappy sorry that was Freudian into their back into [ __ ] like Cold War thinking where we're trying to look for good guys in these conflicts whether on another thing is that we think they're trying to latch on to anything day my Vietnam you know in Vietnam who's pretty obvious that the [ __ ] probably the ones that weren't night arming and massacring villages were probably the good guys in this situation we don't have that in Afghanistan we don't have that in Iraq we're not gonna have that in Iran because um Taliban abou choose the [ __ ] bothy switches and the Iranian regime also butchers it's just which clique of butchers will you support today it's just to naked [ __ ] Maude Riesling that's all it is yeah we don't have to like them it seems we perhaps that might be a good point to wrap up this special [ __ ] the Iranian government [ __ ] do US government only support the proletariat [ __ ] stop being a [ __ ] County I'd stop trying to be like a support in Germany in World War one [ __ ] eat my ass yeah I think that I've made a pretty good point there like during the first world war um you you think you're following in the tradition of the Bolsheviks no no like during the first world war that we're a certain Russian member members of the Russian social democratic Labour Party who were like oh yeah you see we're gonna support Germany in this because they're against the Tsar and to which most people of the the yes are we're like what the [ __ ] is wrong with you no and there's the other part of it is that these people have like a what in in in in the piece that London talk about revolutionary defeatism they take the line that drops you took at the time which was they think it means desiring only the loss of your government and the the victory of the other not that it means the loss of both governments and the victory of both proletariat's yeah and before you try thinking yes mark I saying you gotta remember dip that the [ __ ] Imperial Germany didn't have pretty epic and based uh a lavash are Syria me literally word jokes about Billy and his big mustache but like before you come out of the [ __ ] bush works and say that oh yeah you see about Lennon accept that money from the Germans yes which to an extent he then used to fight them in Poland yeah like without Germany we are doomed Lenin talking about a revolution in Germany yeah not the [ __ ] German Empire listen to an audio book if you can if you can't read listen to an audio book because you're

position they're supposed to be because a lot of women got successful and then saved no [ __ ] rappers then saved a thousand hoes got them popping four five million followers these famous women haven't been putting no regular [ __ ] on them wait wait wait cause i'm saying like all these famous rapper chicks what a sad [ __ ] [Music] put this [ __ ] at least in a little one-bedroom studio so

don't leave nothing you get one chance whatever you left getting thrown away i feel like it's for attention sometimes too when they say come get you a little baby [ __ ] because they want to have any last conversation yeah cause if he really ain't here he would have just threw that [ __ ] away exactly if you tell me to come and pick up my stuff i'm sucking someday uh please get the [ __ ] on man um that's why all your [ __ ] right but you know i was sucking to be a team player i've never experienced this tonight thought you missed it it's been a couple of weeks since i'm fine nope i know shouldn't whatever oh [Music] that make me call your momma bald-headed ass grinny exactly that's how she roll her hair you raise the [ __ ] miss ethel call him to tell him that [ __ ] him i'll wait to see your daddy autozone yeah your dog can't suck no [Laughter] the energy y'all bring to the trap man we got to talk about a lot of wild [ __ ] always y'all keep doing your thing shout out to poor man [Applause] bdb university got the big kitty shirts on deck how's everything over there in port mines everything's great you saw your hair on there yeah you were singing this song i saw the [ __ ] in the words i was ready though i stay ready i got a little bit really pay attention to this butter yeah [ __ ] love or i'll tell myself yes girl we just had him on the show yeah that's the most perverted song in history sung come on man not girl i don't know that's some freaking [ __ ] girl you know i can't help it it definitely got a little questionable dancing with the keggers here come staying that's when [ __ ] used to really be dancing in the club [ __ ] don't dance no more i love being dancing i do too girl [Applause] she kept telling me she wasn't about to leave so i'm playing [ __ ] go she was being real disrespectful when you're all seven eight here i need to get a good fist fight in that's making it efficient fighters that's probably the most pitiful fight you've ever seen and they gonna be number one homie [ __ ] [ __ ] you [ __ ] this lady is a fighter i don't want to fight no [ __ ] lindsay's not a fighter she's got to fight the whole time i've known her no i don't i really don't be fighting like that unless i'm just waiting she'll stab you though i have stabbed a [ __ ] ain't gonna talk about that i did he deserved this terrible did he die no he didn't but my thing is did you go to jail no but my thing is if you walk up on me and i have a knife in my hand i tell you back the [ __ ] up and you don't back the [ __ ] up who fought that he where you stabbed him at in his arm bust up his mama tattoo and everything good [ __ ] you in that hole did he go to the hospital no he had to get stitched like yeah he didn't go get stitches yeah yeah tattoo of his mama name all [ __ ] up but this is what he deserves because if somebody told me to make the [ __ ] up i'm a big fan exactly i have a knife in my hand back up i made fine testing the theory cause you will get clap i feel like if we didn't [ __ ] you should love me enough not to stab me ever no it don't get that good no i'm really not crazy so once you get to trying to fight you you know with her i'm done i respect that because you couldn't know what's happening but i definitely punched a [ __ ] though mm-hmm i'm turning they care that much enough to be trying to fight me yeah i mean once you get to a certain time driving in the highway drive you get with that all right yeah like after you do some [ __ ] like that i never [ __ ] with you again i respect it only for what you say or do what that's right you're gonna stand up [ __ ] you i know that's that's beautiful because a lot of these [ __ ] don't i don't know why some [ __ ] like it they do i think i'm watching it he liked it he did you thought that i would one time i had to break up with him cause i was actually tired of beating his ass i said i can't beat your ass no mo really i had to go i was trying to grow and be a better person you think he craved the beauty he craved it he loved it this has been a whole therapy session and letting me know that y'all have been dealing with some weird-ass and now that y'all y'all believe anything about [ __ ] because you have really ran into a handful of [ __ ] weirdos who let y'all do anything and talk to them any kind of way beat on them and not [ __ ] on them man suck dick head fast and i had never said nothing like it none of them yeah really disappointed in the [ __ ] y'all have been doing it no because i know that all of this [ __ ] that y'all sit here and blamed on [ __ ] and what they did and how they responded yeah i get it now i get it [ __ ] ain't [ __ ] doing exactly what they supposed to be doing but that's the case now just imagine if these [ __ ] was out here making y'all have orgasms and [ __ ] you would be sitting here talking about how many [ __ ] you don't kid oh dude nobody can exactly if a [ __ ] was making me have orgasms we wouldn't be having these altercations at all somebody's [ __ ] the [ __ ] out of each and every one of y'all and i'm grown enough to know that that means this is not the complaint department i'm selling it no you're not me too i'll tell you you said i walked over my head down no no i could no you got blonde hair you [ __ ] this weekend i really didn't you [ __ ] before you left digging weeks and not getting up i haven't been [ __ ] weeks okay today you just got through [ __ ] i did not today i'm just saying you're freaking out like that cleavage not me not me you just got back in town you've been [ __ ] i was on a girl's she was on a girl's trip it was nothing you stopped by and got some dick on the way back trust me happy i'm flourishing stay positive lighting candles i mean if that's not bringing a problem please you're right it's not true i'd rather be getting [ __ ] while somebody talks to me applications i'm accepting them [Music] that's what she's saying [ __ ] these young women wanna [ __ ] and stay up that we must have didn't [ __ ] good exactly i don't like women who go to sleep after some days around even if you're not staying lay down be scared sounded like papa bear [ __ ] i got a light snore nope you probably pulled in your sleep i could see it cause you were probably like poo and moan [Applause] [Music] [Applause] no yes you're gonna think i'm beside you you think it's cute to go eat all of them damn shrimp and [ __ ] and not poop i will [ __ ] go to target and say i'm looking for bleach to go fart down there before i'm talking to you and that's what i'm gonna do that's what we have our goal as far as going in the kitchen spreading these ass cheeks are [ __ ] quiet we saw everybody know about that you could [ __ ] under the sheets you just got to spread it yeah so it just we had like rules to a flyout like on one of the episodes and one of the rules is like in the morning like as a man you're supposed to leave the room go downstairs do something so the woman can be in the room and take care take a [ __ ] because i'm not doing that at all you're going to leave so i can [ __ ] yeah you don't care or you should go down to the lobby and [ __ ] i paid for this trip have you ever shot it in a hotel lobby man absolutely i'm saying your hotel i got to take this phone call ryan calling me yeah i gotta handle some business no don't just don't do it in front of you don't sit in front of a man or far or i don't even like you around you'll see how you react loud too not in the car that [ __ ] makes me upset i'm far known you and you little so you probably them all was probably powerful there you are you're fine yeah that's too much i will that's it's over [ __ ] harlow leave you know how many bad [ __ ] in the state and fought it back it's okay that's what the [ __ ] you're into that is [Applause] 750. 620. great person independent in the first thing over six figures a year doing well spreading titties no mosquito bites nice ankles oh brother how do you have a nice angle she probably got that we just hanging out with bad ankles when they put them flip flops on and they buckle in [Applause] her foot look like her mama foot already he's too young for that [ __ ] baby in the kitchen with the flip-flop song looking like her name diane no yep no whatever legend can't relate well leave there because [ __ ] going forward i thought it was just some [ __ ] y'all knew [ __ ] ain't holding them foreign i definitely had a [ __ ] [ __ ] one time while i was brushing my teeth that's what i'm saying i can come over your house and take you on all these expensive dates and [ __ ] but i can't [ __ ] you can't shoot it for me [ __ ] you got all the nice towels in there nice taste and it smells good what's that what should be getting this [ __ ] for this oh yeah i cannot some of y'all having that comfortable bathroom with that little thing you can put your arm right there i'm [ __ ] over your house that's my baby leading streak in the toilet i hate this street you that's why i got a double flush you supposed to leave this [ __ ] they don't care courtesy flush flush leaving little doodle [Music] that's nasty i had [ __ ] ghost in my bathroom i knew what he was doing and he was like trying to set the mood like you know he's like you don't have that [ __ ] but it's like i'm not in the mood no you can't hide it [ __ ] you can smell it oh god i hate it you have no spray on this [ __ ] you don't know about these people i still smell that [ __ ] even with the spray whatever mm-hmm with me then this would be a great place to let these people know follow each and every one of these ladies man they won't let you [ __ ] over their house for some strangers you shall not what's up player you hear this [ __ ] you just sit over there quiet and just let them talk bad about [ __ ] and just leave me over here by myself to defend us you should have disagreed with a of this [ __ ] but you didn't lets me know that you can play it how you feeling about knowing that 70 percent of these women ain't having orgasms it's what the brain is alarming we'll discuss it at the next meeting i wrote some notes down what do y'all have these meetings can we come y'all need a woman's point of view that's the problem y'all been giving y'all opinion on too much [ __ ] we didn't ask about we discussed that two weeks ago at the meeting we don't really need your opinion on everything first of all but that's neither here nor this one a cdn [ __ ] to get the cap in this [ __ ] we like to keep it unfiltered yeah cause you know if y'all show up [ __ ] gonna start pandering and [ __ ] so you do agree that [ __ ] ain't [ __ ] no i could never agree with that but you just said how they gonna act in front of us if it was there no they just doing what they supposed to do oh brother that's that's what it is it's in that nigga's dna supposed to count whatever you got to do to win do you understand that [ __ ] only do [ __ ] that have worked for them before [ __ ] only do what has worked before ain't nobody out here just making up [ __ ] all that [ __ ] you said was lame that a [ __ ] did has worked before i hope you know that it worked for somebody it's not for them it worked more than one time that's the little formula so that's how it works all right my microphone to fill up i guess that's enough you've been over there couldn't know we got the little microphone now i don't know i think that's what we are the little microphone i just want to say jibril are you smart oh my god all right mona what you think of the trap look at that little bitty mile yeah i've been trying to get up here for a long [ __ ] time all right well i appreciate you stopping through here [ __ ] with me we're going to wrap this [ __ ] up make sure you keep watching and supporting poor minds hit the website get some merch i'm good i'm good we done get your ass out of here bad tape happiness all right but this has been another rendition of the 85 south shore [Applause] y'all are [ __ ] terrible people hold up let's get a picture hold this i got you free mike what would you do i forgot to take a picture oh god damn oh hey man me and dre was telling me how fine you was on vacation is it really i know | The 85 South Comedy Show | UC4m46pCBkMEyy8gk26WKqbA | 2021-07-30 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en |

ziqrg_IBQOs | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziqrg_IBQOs | PROG2005: Go programming - Introduction | welcome i will close that i will show you the mantimeter you can join the uh the manti meter here and we will talk about golang so first uh short introduction um who am i um so i am a lecturer in the computer science department i work with christopher uh and chamack i am um lecturing i i was lecturing game programming game design mobile programming cloud with christopher i've been lecturing quite a broad range of courses i enjoy teaching programming a lot so that's why i'm kind of offloading christopher here i'm also a researcher i'm researching decentralized systems i'm i'm really interested in how decentralized systems may change the way we organize ourselves as as humans uh so working with uh blockchain and cryptocurrencies recently a lot in the past i was i was working with multi-agent systems and distributed systems quite interested in computer architectures and how modern processors and gpus work also and i'm a programmer i'm kind of a keen doing programming and i you know i enjoy programming so if i have some spare time i like to do some coding or solve some coding puzzles and things like this um so how about you um can you tell me in three words who are you how would you describe yourself i hope it works so use three words to try to succinctly depict who are you and then we will get a bit of a picture of of a class so we have some programmers we have some gamers we have some identity people yeah programming engineers some men some women i guess some curious people yeah we have some women good some fat people some social people hobbyists cool yeah gamers and programmers and students are kind of dominating that looks cool some skinny man all right what do you guys do for hobbies i i really like paragliding so that's me on a low resolution photograph in nepal flying on my paraglider i like running climbing with runa i try to get christopher into climbing but yeah i failed same with running um i'll keep trying all right um you should have some passions so as a programmers or computer scientists uh you do need to do find something that you do outside uh because otherwise you know you're spending your your days in front of the computer all right so in terms of the languages uh what sort of languages do you know uh what can you what can you use perfect so it looks go is very niche we only have you know a very small number of people knowing it and using it so it's great because that course is all about golenk um i mean not the course but the the these two weeks you will use golang for assignments as well such that you should get proficiency in and go like through the cloud course um yeah we have a background in python that's probably python and java it's probably the data engineer uh stream and we have kind of a large group from cc plus plus world and then we have some enthusiasts are using rust and haskell some golang some other languages and java and typescript so it's sort of what i have expected i sort of expected you having background in in java python and cc plus plus uh for some of the concepts um golang is very similar to java and for some concepts of course it's derived from cc plus so uh those the people with background in those two languages will kind of have some uh some benefits um on picking up all right so um what is what is go um it's designed by three people uh and if you look up those people on wikipedia you will realize that um ken thompson is sort of the the unix c person uh he goes way back uh rob pike is a programming language enthusiast he had a number of programming languages he designed in the past and then uh robert grissomer is another um google engineer who works with those those guys and they try to think of a language which um um which is for google uh so for server site uh you know whatever that means uh and for large teams uh so we look a little bit into the the features of the language um but just a a question for you like what are different languages used for so you know we know javascript and typescript are dominating web and browser programming because they were designed to make you know browsers more interactive such that it's not strange that they sort of dominate um you know front-end in web although javascript has been used on the back end as well because of node.js but you know what would what would you say server programming is for so use the chat because i don't have a question and uh so what what does server programming means to you managing packages yes to some extent manages packets perhaps network packets networking yes networking of course so in the interacting with databases so sort of backend back-end site programming yeah very good point yeah ion is saying that golang is a sneaky ploy to get more programmers to train for potential positions at google uh potentially yes google is using golang for a lot of day services um yes so you know what google does google designs cloud based services and they do deal with networking they do deal with databases and they need to do a lot of processing on the server side on the kind of a cloud site the front end is what is facing the the customers but the back end and all the server services they need to do this kind of a heavy lifting and and all the cloud services uh implementations need to be written in something and go was sort of designed as a language as an answer to how to build that there was no clear way of of doing that before because um c plus plus you know some of the uh back and services and um performance computing was done in c plus plus or or c uh but it has certain problems it is known it's you know the cc plus plus um languages are quite heavy in in terms of you have to spend some time learning them uh you can't you know spend a week and be quite up to speed with the language you need to get into it uh not to make mistakes and to get the feel of uh what is the idiomatic way of using it and you have to deal with memory and build times are quite large so google was sort of trying to experiment with various languages on how to improve that um and they kind of had certain objectives uh and one of the objective was that the language should be easy to pick up by people such that you can idiomatically program in it you know in couple of days uh and then the build times should be short because they have to iteratively you know compile and build and test and build and test uh the large projects and that was sometimes done overnight uh with some large you know c plus plus um implementations so they had some um some issues with the tools that they were using before and another one another big one was concurrency so if again if you check uh rob pike he was really big into designing languages that deal with concurrency kind of on the language level um and that's what uh go is so it is kind of a descendant of the c family of languages with uh really fast build times and with the concurrency kind of built in um so here is the uh you know um small descendant tree of where kind of goal comes from uh and you can see that pike was sort of uh designing squeak and news quick um i i've used news news quick uh in the past when i was a student um no i was not a student then or i was a a researcher a junior no i was i was still a student i guess uh so anyway i use new squeak and the syntax and some of the concepts are very similar to golang um and of course it is kind of the you know a modern see they they advertise it uh when it came up as a sort of array implementation of of c and you know adding some um uh garbage collector and and some things that make it sort of a modern language uh and then there is a sort of a large line of um pascal descendants which also contributed to the way gold deals with certain constructs uh but the concurrency things is sort of from uh from deadline so this here you have sort of a syntax here you have some sort of a design of encapsulation and a modularity like we don't have the typical classes as you would have in c plus plus or some object oriented languages uh and here you have the kind of a descendant tree of the how to deal with concurrency which is different than the normal multi threading paradigm from the p p threat library so our goal yeah started in november 2009 and has gained you know uh some some popularity over the the last years so the main motivation was the productivity of teams and i will have a question about that in a moment um but how they so so what they've done um they've done the language which has a very rich uh standard library so everything to do with networking everything to do with encryption everything to do with json parsing it's all in standard libraries so tomorrow you will see once we start doing some uh web services and some json parsing that it's super easy you don't need any external dependencies you don't need to deal with the you know dependency nightmares uh it's all part of the language and part of the standard library so it makes certain typical use cases such as building a web service very easy i've built a lot of web services with node.js and javascript in the past and you always had to have dependencies uh to do anything uh and then the problem with dependencies is that they change they migrate and you have to keep maintaining it so every couple of months some libraries change they become incompatible with some other libraries and you have to update your entire system to keep up with security patches and and things like like that uh here once we build a web service uh which we did with christopher a couple of them uh it just works year after year you just recompile it and it works uh you don't need to touch your source code and maintenance and some of the things are kind of much simpler so it has you know certain benefits um you will also realize that if you're coming from c plus plus or from rust which is also pretty slow uh that build times for large projects are kind of amazing so golang is is really good to compile relatively large and multi um depend uh projects with with large dependency trees uh it has integrated two chain you know most modern languages do have that like uh haskell rust uh if you're coming from c plus plus unfortunately it is um it doesn't have that feel that you have everything kind of integrated with the language itself you have to use ide and you have to use um some additional ways of managing your dependencies whereas with those languages like go it's sort of part of the language so go is compiled it's statically typed it's imperative but it does have some functional features and we will dive into that a little bit more on on thursday um it has it is different from c because it manages memory for you so even though go has pointers and you can allocate dynamically memory i you don't care i mean you do care but you don't manage the release of the memory yourself the the runtime system and the language itself will do that for you uh so it manages kind of the memory uh memory for you and it has um concurrency built in uh which means some of the things like running things in parallel uh concurrently i mean uh is kind of very easy because the the constructs on the language level you don't need a library or you don't need to to do anything special you can just concurrently execute functions and then communicate between them using concepts like channels we will cover that tomorrow and it is not object oriented but it has interfaces and it has structs and methods on structs so you can use some of the object-oriented patterns of programming if you want to using the constructs of the language and you can also use some functional programming constructs because functions are kind of the the main you know mechanism of the language itself and it it it feels really modern so when we started using it uh you know we liked the the large ecosystem in fact that there was um a person in node.js our world hello chuck who was one of the main developers and designers of web frameworks and tools tool chains and a lot of support for node.js and he actually quit node.js community and he joined um golang and he joined google um and golang has a lot of very smart people working for the team uh such that you know of course the language is criticized and it has um a lot of uh quirks that people don't like necessarily i don't like everything about goal and neither but it is very well designed and it it has kind of a a modern feel to itself and it's super easy so some aspects of the language which google put itself up to achieve i think they achieved really well so um it has relatively easy but good and comprehensive abstractions it doesn't have generics they are kind of working on golang 2.0 and there are proposals to introduce generics and some meta programming into the language um which would definitely help with expressing certain you know higher order uh algorithms or concepts but as it is uh you do appreciate that it's very easy like in some languages even with c plus plus if i haven't used c plus plus for a while and i have to do something i have to look up what was the syntax or how to use certain things with golang it's almost i don't need to look up anything like it it's so natural and so small that it kind of comes back to you so even if you didn't program in golang for like half a year uh and you come back you can very quickly pick up and the syntax is simple and quite intuitive uh so you can almost always kind of um guess what it should be if you kind of forgot uh so it's kind of an easy easy language um and it it is kind of really easy for maintenance as well uh because it enforces certain idiomatic way of coding uh that for enforces the coding conventions also because it has a built-in linters and uh code formatters and all of that uh such that it is easy for for kind of ongoing maintenance and as i said because of the large built-in standard libraries you don't care about dependencies most of the things that you have to build you don't need any external dependencies for you can just build it with the features of the language itself um of course if you're doing something very specialist in machine learning or computer vision or something like this of course you're gonna use some external dependencies because it doesn't have everything building into standard libraries but in terms of this course in terms of the cloud and building web services um most of the things that you will need are in the standard library which is different to languages such as rust for example which took slightly different philosophy and the standard library is very small and most of the things such as you know encryption and networking um dealing with parsing of json and so on is done through additional libraries that you have to depend on uh it has its benefits but it also has its kind of maintenance costs uh because it kind of partitions your development um and yeah so i've i've um mentioned that that it has kind of a tool tooling support so you have uh linters you have a verification code verification building you have uh code formatting building you have documentation uh generators building you have even some code analysis tools building such that it will check if you uh should fix certain things so there is a go fix so it will suggest you some improvements into your kind of a coding patterns and also there is a small concurrency check which uh warns you if you have a likelihood of race conditions or if you kind of have some threats not closing when the program closes so you you have kind of um all of that built in into a runtime system and into a language which makes it sort of an excellent choice for for this course because you do need to build you know concurrent web services uh for cloud and you cannot be relying on a single threading solutions because you know you do need to be uh interacting with multiple clients and accessing a database and you know uh answering the network requests and things like this like you know concurrency is a primary you know need in server-side programming um so all those facilities make golank kind of an excellent choice for trying things out um i really like golank for that and i really like golang for building networking solutions networking applications and cloud services i like other languages as well but if i have to do something like if i have to do a web service it is by far easiest in in golang you of course you can do it in other languages as well and you might be uh keen to do that because you know maybe you more proficient in c plus plus or maybe your team is all proficient in c plus plus and whatever that the reason is but um golang has a lot of advantages and it's super simple uh such that if you don't know it there is no excuse not to learn it and use it when it kind of fits all right so um question for you uh a little bit abstractly what do you think is the most important thing when you're picking a particular programming language or programming paradigm for a given problem so what are the reasons what are the um factors that are important in [Music] in programming in the choices you're making in programming so fitting in the particular use case scenario yes efficiency readability uh resource usage it's sort of like efficiency as well performance efficiency yes readability tooling support yeah what platform is supported good very good answers so documentation [Music] how long you know in the line length how long the solution will be succinct shorter solutions sometimes are better [Music] ease of understanding ergonomics security yes support ease of development ease of documentation so ease of use generally um yeah perfect so those are really good um really good points i kind of grouped yeah the size of the solution um yeah open source i don't have that one so open source is one that i haven't considered but it's a good one also so some sometimes there is a preference of open source dependency versus you know a commercial login with some commercial uh provider so apart from the open source i kind of grouped them into three things and i think your your cloud your word cloud fits those three categories so one category is productivity and what i mean by productivity here is uh what you what you said um yeah you know productivity is of documentation is of development whether it does the job solving the task um those things you know documentation those things i sort of consider a productivity readability um so this is kind of a broad broadly speaking productivity category the second one is maintenance so security how easy is to introduce bucks how hard is to introduce bugs how long it takes to build like if you have to have a build cycle like you do changes you build your check you do changes you build you check if that cycle is long you you know your things kind of slow down your i call it maintenance it is they are overlapping right yeah if you slow in building then your productivity is a little bit uh diminished as well so they are not perfectly separated but uh productivity is more how easy and how you know efficiently you can do the um do the task for yourself and for your team maintenance is all those extra things that you know some languages are really hard to do bugs in like if you get haskell to compile or rust to compile chances are it will run it will not have bugs javascript on the other hand always runs and the chances you're having bugs in what runs are very high right so you have to heavily test uh in some languages you don't need to heavily test because the compiler and the um the tooling makes you make prevents you to make you know certain types of bugs um so that's kind of the the middle category and then the final one is the performance right so it you mentioned that as well how how fast the solution is how small or how big the executable is so the raw performance in terms of what what does the program do in terms of metrics like speed or throughput or request per second and so on there are applications for example if you're working on a mobile device and you're interacting with the user um whether something takes 500 milliseconds or something takes 700 milliseconds or something takes 20 milliseconds it doesn't matter uh as long as kind of a sub-second interactivity with the user uh typically that's fine if you have a mobile game on the other hand and the game starts lagging uh the experience is you know destroyed and the performance matters a lot so the last one the performance is subject to the problem at hand with some problems you do require the highest performance you can get for most tasks you have to get sort of sufficient performance uh the performance that fulfills the requirements but not more because doing more will cost you more and it's not needed right um and in some solutions the performance is not needed right so languages like you know javascript or pascal they kind of slow uh performance is not they strong point it's actually they're kind of crap but the performance is not the main thing many for many applications that utilize those languages uh flexibility the ease of development is but not performance so you know the other tool sometimes trump the last one um so you often have this sort of uh arguments that yeah i'm coding everything in c plus plus because it's the fastest um true uh it's the often the fastest executable uh by smaller or larger margin compared to alternatives but it makes you probably less productive here and maybe it makes it harder for maintenance and introduces more bugs and so on right so maybe there are some trade-offs the answer is never simple uh the answer is always a little bit multi-dimensional so you you do need to consider all those dimensions um the argument which programming language to choose or what paradigm to choose is not never really trivial um it it it has to go and balance some of the conflicting objectives sometimes the performance is crucial like you know if you're making a database system or making a web service which should serve millions of people uh you know milliseconds differences make a huge difference in the number of resources you need to serve the requests and how many users per seconds can you you know uh serve so but then you know you do you do need to open up for the possibility that the alternative objectives that are at work here uh and i think the cloud your your kind of word cloud covered though those three uh i didn't have the uh the open source versus proprietary software argument here but it is uh it is important in many cases too i agree all right so um let's go a little bit about the tooling so i do have um i do have um [Music] well so let's let me first go to last year uh project um such that i can show you some of those things so if i go yeah like hello world and i open the source file and i mess up the formatting so i have kind of a formatted code uh following all the conventions uh but i can kind of uh make it a little bit untidy and then if i show you the code it kind of looks untidy so if i say go format and go format has a couple of flags so dash s kind of simplifies the code and dash w basically writes the the modification back to the file so if i run it without anything for the current folder it will say look uh you have some issues you you should reformat your code and it dumps the reformatted golang source code source file into the standard output but if i use the flag so if i say okay simplify the code and dump it into the file that you're analyzing then it will not output anything to the screen but it will effectively uh modify the the file to the one the it should look like right so now if we um if we look at the source file it is it introduces those kind of lines it uh use the tabs to move the lines uh to be aligned properly and it generally kind of fix some of the little things that it needed to to fix right so go format is your friend it's included in most of the ides and it will be formatting your code so don't fight with it like let it format the code as it should and then just follow the conventions right uh you will notice that uh golang is using let me clear that clutter a little bit and cut it again so golang is using kind of the bracket conventions so at the end you know in in c and c plus plus you have two types of bracket conventions one kind of starts here and closes here so they are matching and one sort of starts at the end of line and closes here uh so in golang this is the enforced coding conventions for brackets and it's a compiler error if you do um so if i um if i move this bracket here so um if i try to follow this other coding convention if i do this um you see my i'm using a very simple id but it's already complaining it's an error it's a compiler error to have a bracket here it's not a style it's a compiler error so which it is which is kind of interesting that um they thought um the bracket placement is such a big deal that it's not enforced by the linter and the coding conventions it's enforced by that compiler itself right so what else do we have uh we have go fix uh you know with this simple program i don't have any problems so go fix is not gonna fix anything but you can run go fix on your projects and it will kind of suggest some simplifications and some things to make things easier um and more readable and again it's kind of integrated with most ides and it the idea will kind of use the go fix to to help you of course you have linters uh but um i am not using the um the extension tool uh linter which comes with golenk i'm using the um more comprehensive golang lint runner and you can you will find the resources in the in the course what is lint uh good question so if you have your source code for example like this uh there are certain elements of the source code that are here so for example you have the the package which is on the top of the file you have your imports and then you have your documentation so comments about the functions or methods that you have and then you have the source code itself with some statements and the placement of the brackets the the placement of those brackets uh whether you have space here or here or not um all of those elements kind of form kind of a coding style and encoding conventions and the linter is a tool that enforces certain coding conventions and certain documentation style and certain way of structuring your source code so um we use lint for c plus plus and c we use lint for most programming environments such as to enforce certain standards for source code right uh it is it depends so some linters are configurable and you can enforce certain standards which are for the team uh certain things like for example in golang are enforced by the language itself such that you have to follow the standards you cannot vary them um and in the past when we were using for example java there was a originally some microsystems and then subsequently oracle designed standard which was for coding in java and then you have a certain set of rules which you can instruct your linter and then um the the linter for java was kind of enforcing that uh most ides most the integrated development environments that you use will have this type of lint built in and they usually kind of highlight some issues as uh as a warning saying oh yeah you should fix this or you should reorder this or you should put documentation because you're missing and so on so for example in golang it's it's kind of it's not enforced by the language but it's enforced by the linter that you should have documentation for functions and the documentation for functions should start with the name of the function as the first word of the documentation such that if i didn't have this documentation here uh for the publicly export function uh the linter would complain and also if i didn't have this uh first uh word here um the lintel should complain as well that i'm not following the the the standard that's right so uh lint helps a lot when you're collaborating with others lent helps at all a lot with your own projects to make it consistent across your code base to have the same kind of a coding conventions and coding standards and it unifies the readability and the ability to maintain somebody's else's code because it is kind of checked and it confirms to a great set of rules right right so lent is a big deal you will use lint in this course uh we do enforce certain rules and send certain uh lintel rules and we do check it so if you code that you submit for your assignments has some linter warnings or errors yes that's a problem right you should not have that you should not have the problems and of course the go doc which generates the documentation many programming languages have the building uh documentation you know you have in cc plus plus you have doxygen uh and then in haskell you have haddock and and go you have godok and and so on so it's the same with java you have javadoc uh there are certain like markers and certain conventions of how you write comments and then based on that the uh the runtime system generates the documentation for your project so those are the um the built-in let me yeah so um golang also has a built-in testing framework such that you can easily write unit tests uh in golang and you don't need an external library so for example in java you have to use junit to do unit tests um in c plus plus you need um you know c unit uh and then you um in some other programming languages you do need to have an external dependency on testing and in golang it's kind of built in so the unit testing library is built in and then you have a command which is go test which runs the tests and tells you uh if they all passed and also you can check what is the test coverage we we will cover that uh next week so i will show you some of the tests and how you calculate test coverage and we i expect you to report what is the test coverage of some of your solutions that you will submit as your assignments and the same for the project um it is a good practice to have a target you know it's unrealistic to always expect that you have hundred percent test coverage that's you know unrealistic and undesirable but when you developing a project you have certain quality metrics and one of those quality metrics might be that you set yourself a target to have 60 of your code based covered by tests and you pick you know the most important 60 and then using kind of a go test and cover uh you can measure which parts of your code base are tested and what is your overall test coverage and what are the elements of your of your code base which are not tested such that maybe you need to write additional tests for that because you consider those parts important right so that that's kind of building and it's quite useful and the ecosystem is growing so there are more uh go tools which are useful and um for example with linter with this one you have kind of a really large number of different tools that for example measure the cyclomatic complexity of your methods or your functions or measure some other characteristics of your source code and then based on that you can kind of make some decisions or some adjustments um so you know cyclomatic complexity is like how complex your your functions are if you have a lot of nested if statements they are mentally difficult to read and maintain and then the cyclomatic complexity metric kind of reports a kind of a high number for those methods or for those functions such that it suggests that maybe you need to rewrite it in sort of a simpler way maybe there is no simpler way maybe the way you've coded it is the only way to efficiently or effectively code it but maybe it isn't so those additional metrics kind of help you to make your code of a higher quality all right what do we use for programming and go um it's up to you uh as the course was suggesting you can use um so if you go to let me go to sorry wrong browser um [Music] if you go to jetbrains um you will see that they have a kind of a special specialized tool for um golang which is called goland so golan this is a special purpose ide for developing and uh running go um we've used it in the past but uh and a lot of students use it uh but some of you do need to program in other programming languages as well and then if you do need to have an ide where you use java python go haskell rust and so on having a dedicated ide and environment for each language is first of all a little bit um you know you have to maintain and update all of them um so it's a bit of a pain so in that case what i suggest is you install the intellij ultimate um and you just install the additional plugins so there is a go plugin which makes this ide almost the same as this one uh some of the menu things are slightly different but the functionality is basically effectively the same such that you can reuse a single environment for coding in other programming languages but it is up to you i'm using this solution with the building plugin and it works uh quite quite fine but you can alternatively use this if you want to um what else can you use um that's right so s pen is asking do you get ultimate for free as a student yes you will you just need to make in the jetbrains account when you will be downloading it um you kind of need an account and then use your ntnu email and then automatically you will get the license for the ultimate version and it is renewed every year as long as you're using the same email so as a student you can you can get ultimate uh for free and as a staff members we also get it for free uh what else um some people use visual studio code with uh go plugin uh so i can kind of show you here as well i i'm using visual studio code too and it's a little bit smaller so you may like it a little bit more it has the it has the syntax highlighting uh it has all the facilities um yeah it has all the facilities here as well uh it is a little bit not as integrated with the debugger and with the um running of the projects within the environment itself as intellij so like if you want to use more advanced features like you know running some functions running tests uh debugging then intellij is better but if you only want to manage your project and kind of edit your source code and then you are fine in you know compiling and building it through the command line then that's perfect combination so i i often do that like i i use it as a editor such that i have an overview of my project and i'm editing here and i have all the warnings and things kind of in the ide but i tend to build my projects um using kind of command line um for various reasons one reason is that i often have to pull the project on a server side where i don't have the id and i have to build it by manually by hand such that i want to always make sure that the builds here they don't have additional dependencies or some things that the configured id has that i don't have on the command line um yeah you know it's uh entirely up to you like uh you should play with whatever uh options you are familiar with and you um you should use what makes you more productive so i you know for large projects i use intellij for some small maintenance tasks i use uh visual studio code or vim uh i like them uh because it's fast it's sort of small it has some of the features already built in like the compiler problems highlighting and things like this and you can use those of you who use them wrong browser again those of you who use vim i do recommend there is a fm bootstrap page and you can pick uh what programming languages you want your vim to support and then if you configure plug then you can make you know you can pick go haskell c um typescript whatever yeah rust javascript and then it will generate the uh dot them rc file for you you just drop it into your home folder if you're on mac or on linux i'm not sure about the windows people if you guys are using them or not uh and then it makes the environment like you know like i have so if i open a file in in golang then it has all the syntax highlighting uh it has warnings like if i do something illegal in the language so it will kind of a highlight oh yeah you know you're probably doing something wrong and it has uh syntax suggestions and um for small things it's fine for large for larger things as i said i tend to use um i tend to use where is the i tend to use intellij because it's heavy uh i i never use intellij from on battery on my laptop uh because it will drain your battery like you know like there is no tomorrow but um if i'm plugged in and i'm working on a large project that's the most comfortable for me uh there is a suggestion in the chat to download a vm extension to uh vs code and to intellij which i did actually so i i have a vim extension both in uh visual studio code and in intellij such that i have the uh the normal um so if i open this you will notice that i have um have uh okay so i have the the the mode so i'm kind of in the editing mode now uh where i have the x to delete the character and then if i do a um yeah i have some missing missing updates for the go support but i do use vim kind of uh keyboard bindings here as well um so it like a visual studio code will ask you if you're missing some of the things to uh to install them and apparently i i have something either missing or outdated so what version should you use uh i'm using uh 15 yeah i'm using 15 6 i i've checked there is a 15 7 which is the latest stable um you can use the um the 16 beta but we're not gonna use any of the new features from the language i don't think in this course so you can stick to either 15 six or fifteen seven should be fine we using some of the new error features from 15 such that you should not use anything older but 15 6 15 7 should be fine all right so let me close this uh you can save this uh there are other options so you can you can try other things um and i what i do recommend is that you try more than one because you should not just try one and stick to it you should try more than one and get some feel of the differences such that you get a better you know feel of what suits you more and where you can use a different tool for yourself um there is atom um you know notepad things like this um i i tend to use command line quite a lot because i like to see [Music] how it works behind the scene like id hides certain things from you so id will run commands for you and sometimes we'll pass some parameters and some things to those commands and you don't see it necessarily of course you can sort of dig through all the ide features and you know find everything but i'm kind of a bit old school so i i tend to do things a little bit by hand like using git and using uh compilers i tend to use command line uh but yeah when i'm using intellij i do run it like within the in integrated environment and i test things as well i use the command line and vim so if i'm using kind of vim uh i you know i do terminal so i open a terminal here so i have um you know i have my project here i can do go go run or go build and so on and then i can kind of go to the editor and work in the editor so i do that on mac and in vim on mac you have the the terminal command such that you open the [Music] the terminal depends what operating system using if you're using so let me close that if you're using linux you have various options yeah command on windows will do yes you can have uh on windows 10 you can have batch support as well so you you kind of vary you have different backgrounds uh those of you who are more on the programming kind of side of the spectrum i think you should use something that has command line support and something that you are comfortable because you will be spending some time on linux and on the server logged in such that being comfortable with using command line is is a skill that you will need some of you might be coming more from like a game um background than looking into a kind of a game industry then well you will be using ids you will be using unity you'll be using kind of integrated development environments and you may not need to deal with command line that much uh some of you kind of come from devops and more sort of uh full stack development and then yes of course you will have to deal with database you will have to deal with a lot of activities in the command line so and christopher has um some modules in the in the cloud course to get you up to speed with bash and with the linux command line so you can do most of your development on linux actually because you can um uh run the tools like you can run your id on windows commit your your stuff and to get through git to to the repositories and then actually build and deploy on um on the linux or you know a virtual machine through the command line uh there is one really neat trick so for example um in goal if i like i have this hello world right so if i say go run uh it will um so if i say go build command main it's a multi package i do have some problems here with the let me try something right so i've built um command [Music] right so i've built the but there is no executable all right so i know what the problem is so let me redo it so if i go go build command hello world i was using main.go but i don't have that that file so that's what the problem was so now if i list it i have my executable and by default uh go build builds it for the platform that i'm on right so if i kind of now run it i will it will print hello world uh to in the console right but i'm on mac right so if i check what file format it it is so if i check uh what that file is it says it's a 64-bit mac executable right um but uh what you may want you may want to build it on linux uh and go runtime system and the compiler has the cross compiling tool chain already built in such that you can you can build you can build for other platforms i think i have to [Music] i might need to do that [Music] um i'm using fish and with that one yeah let me just quickly check go build help go b help build go help build there is a flag that you need to put um and then it will compile your executable to the platform that you want so if you say uh linux it will compile it for linux if you say uh windows it will compile it for windows such that you don't need a windows environment or um linux environment to get it cross-compiled i don't remember what the syntax was but you know at the moment it's not that important uh it's kind of like a it's a goose a go os um yeah so maybe that's the way i need to call it so if i yeah that's the so i had it in the history of the commands that i use so um i'm using kind of like a bash extension which is called fish and it changes the way you handle the environmental variables uh so you don't say env or set you you just do it like um let me highlight that here yeah so now i again i've built the executable which is called hello world and if i check what hello world is so it said let me remove it [Music] hello remove it let's rebuild it and check what it is so now before it was a macintosh executable and i could run it on mac and now i have linux elf 64-bit executable statically linked excellent everything is in the single package and i cannot run it anymore right it will say well wait a minute you own mac you cannot run linux executables the cool thing about this is that this executable on linux is completely self-contained which means it doesn't depend on any other libraries or anything it's kind of within itself which means for this course it's an excellent news because when you will learn about docker and using docker containers what you can easily do you can package it up as a single service using docker uh from the from this executable and and run it uh you know as a as a service in your docker system uh so golang is quite neat because you can really easily build some web services which you then use a very tiny linux image from docker and kind of package it up into a self-contained single uh single service so you can kind of do kind of a service oriented architecture and architect your project and such in in those kind of a tiny executables and as you see it's not like yeah okay hello world is not doing much so it's actually pretty much doing and nothing but it is um about um 2megs which is the entire runtime system for the um for for go right docker was written in golang by the way as well all right so let's move on um because i'm kind of um digressing too much so question for you uh how are you gonna learn a new programming language what are the strategies the things that you can do to learn to teach yourself a new programming language trial and error i don't think so i mean yes you can but that's sort of a very inefficient way uh of of doing it so learn by doing yeah so uh let me um yeah so let's go through that so uh try an error error writing fizzbuzz um those are okay but not the most efficient uh stack overflow that tends to be okay but if you don't know about the language yet at all it's very hard for you to distinguish stag overflow answers which are really bad and not idiomatic in the language and answers which are very good and idiomatic in the language okay so you will realize that stack overflow has kind of a spectrum of answers and some of them are really shut and some of them are really good and when you're learning a new language you can't really distinguish which one is which so stack overflow at the very beginning is not the best because you may learn things that are wrong that you should not do because you just happen to find an answer which is kind of so if you have an answer which is very highly upvoted uh and it doesn't have an answer further down which is not as highly upvoted and says yeah that should be the correct answer then typically you can consider yeah maybe that's a good answer but if you have some small answers which are not very you know well vetted i would you know consider a caution uh with stack overflow uh learn the basics and experiment sure uh repetition sure um yeah recreate programs that you've made in other languages that's an excellent point so that's how i learn programming languages too i just have some programs that i've done in one of them or two of them and then i redo them in a new one youtube tutorials are fine so youtube is mentioned although i have a note on that um comparing to other languages sometimes is useful so for example for goal it's useful uh although it's useful to know where those languages differ we will come back to that um code academy is very good read documentation is very good pair programming is very good uh yeah making yourself a pet project is excellent so what i have is the tool the golang tool so those of you who join at 8015 i already told you uh if you go to tour.golang.org you will go to the interactive tutorial and if you don't have internet but you've already installed go you can also say in your shell go to tour and it will run the interactive tutorial for you on your local machine without internet access so you can kind of do that locally if you you know in the location without internet you can do that if you with internet you can just go with your browser directly to their website um and how to learn your programming languages so you you cover it you know pick a small pet project and implement something in the new language and i encourage all of you to do that right so um pick something that you want to have or something that you've done in the past and try to implement it and go like first make it small such that you know it doesn't take you too too long time um read tutorials read books uh before you go to stock overflow because the tutorials and books will teach you the more idiomatic way of using the language stack overflow is great reference like if you forgot some syntax or if you forgot something that's fantastic but it's not that great for learning the language because as i said it often has answers which are kind of incorrect it will work but it will not be the way you should use the um the language and then um youtube is great but you should be very selective of what you watch on youtube as well and i've noticed that if you find people that love that particular language they you will recognize them it's it's not a tutorial of rust it's a guy or in golang it's it's a it's a guy who loves go um and you know then watch his channel or his tutorials uh because those people uh he or she they they will go kind of in depth they will go into idiomatic way of doing things and they will kind of teach you about the language kind of in depth so so find the youtubers who love that particular language and watch them don't just google for tutorials uh you know initially google for tutorials but then filter out all the tutorials out and just find the the people who are in love with that particular language and then you will learn quite a lot um there are a couple of questions in the chat so can you run multiple packages in the same directory are we gonna do it right now and the answer is no you can only have one package per directory and that's the reason why i have this command kind of directory for the main package i will explain in a minute what sort of service can be made using go any service so you can do anything that involves networking or json or web services and so on you you will you will see later on we will be doing a number of example projects small projects for uh reading some web apis and doing something with the data but you know it's a general purpose language you can write anything desktop on it and server side it doesn't necessarily have a really easy built-in um gui support for the desktop applications because it was not designed as an application development it was designed as a service development language such that it's easy to do services using a web interfaces and web frontends but on the desktop yeah you're sort of limited to command line um i i i haven't done any desktop uh project i know there is the opengl bindings in golang and there are kind of our widgets toolboxes and so on and you can do desktop applications in golang as well but it's not the primary goal of that language so let's uh let's do this hello world thing um so i i already have it here and uh the first thing you need to learn is that you you know you edit files which have the extension.go so if i go to command and open my project and by my program and my program is called helloworld.gov um and then i have my initial um application so i will for for for now i will kind of um i will comment that out and i will import so to print stuff out you have to import a format package so um those are the the packages that you reference and then this is um the package that you're currently developing and i will comment that out and i will just say format print line hello world all right uh world and you notice couple of things so first thing is that a print line is very similar to java strings are double quoted strings very similar the brackets we already discussed the entry point for your programs is always the main function it doesn't return anything and doesn't take any parameters uh it's just just main no parameters no return we import stuff using the import statement and if you want your main to be executable it has to be in the main package so uh you cannot really have main i i mean you can have main function in another package but it will not be entry point to your executable um such that if you want an entry point to your executable it has to be called uh called main inside the main package right and there is no semicolons at the end of the the lines so it is very similar to c or java but no semicolons strings are the same and then if we import something then we use the same prefix for calling functions from that module right so we we imported a format fmt and then to run functions from fmt we say fmt dot and then we call the functions on it right so if i uh save it and now if i say go build hello world.go in this folder that i am in in here it uh generated the executable for me and i can run it right so that's all nice and i'm kind of inside a single folder and i have inside that single folder i have one package what if i want to create so i will copy i will not type it because i unfortunately i have that called hello world as well so i will call it utils.go so now i am here i have two files in my project i have the original helloworld.go which is the this main entry with the main package and it's another function another file that i have here which is called utils and utils has a different package the package is called hello world it imports format as well and it has a single function called header word which prints stuff to the screen right so i will open i will open both in the editor such that i can quickly switch between them and you will see what i'm doing so i have utils and utils is this uh let's make it bigger slightly um so it is kind of like a utility package that defines a single function for me one thing to note here is that the functions in the modules can be capital letter or small letter capital letters are exported outside such that i can call them from other packages small letters are hidden such that they are internal to the package only so you can differentiate what is your public api and what is your private api by just convention of naming your functions with capital or small letters so for example you can see that in the format module or format package i have um a capital p because p is exported away such that i can use it from a different a different package right uh and then i so that's in my utils and then in hero world go i have main function and i have a package package made right and you will notice that um the um you know the go complaints okay so if i uh rename like now i want to import uh hello world and i don't want to import um format anymore and i want to call hello world function so i'm like before i was importing format and calling print line now from my own module i want to import that function and here it kind of looks as as it works okay uh but here it complains and the reason why it complains is because i have a single folder um and i have two source files and one is from the package main and one is from the package hello world and you cannot have that in a single folder you can only have stuff from a single package so everything in a single folder has to be the same package um it you you cannot mix multiple packages right so because of that i can i cannot have this so what yeah so i will remove the utils and i will remove the executable so now what i have is i have a single for i remove the visual studio crop as well i will close that before i remove this okay so now i have a single file which is in in my package main and it has to live in a different folder than my utils library right so what i will do is i will keep um i will keep my executable by convention um we tend to have projects which have command and the command [Music] stores all the executable packages which are called main so everything in command will be in the package main and then by convention because i uh so if you list my command you will see that i named it hello world so this name will become the name of the executable so if you have multiple executables in your project you can basically call those executables different names here and inside command and then when you build the the build command will generate all those executables with those names of those files so it's kind of like a convention for storing all the main executables inside the command and then building them with the names that they they have as a first part of the of the source code and then in here like in the top level um so let me tidy it up uh i will remove the executable again because that's not part of the project and then in here i i have a space where i can call um i can have additional packages or additional uh source files but all source files here will have to have the same package right so i have a source file called hero word again which is kind of the same name as as my command but this name is because i have some um i i kind of named my package hello world right that's so trivial that you know the package name and this source file name are the same but i could have multiple files here and they all if they all live in a hello world package they that that would be fine right so if i created a new folder so if i um if i make a new directory like a go toys for example um then i have my top level folder which i have the top level package which has some sort of name and then in here i would have some other package that would have kind of a gold toys name and then the the files which come here would be in the package which would be called go toys uh so those conventions are kind of enforced by by golang it may feel a little bit um confusing but it's kind of like in java uh so you you know you have folder structure which forms kind of a namespace for your packages and then just to make the executable because executable require everything to be in the main package we group them into the command folder and then everything here would be just main um there is this kind of covers the concept of packages and there is a concept of module and module is a collection of packages so all of this my go toys my hello world and my commands packages like you know three packages they form a single module and then you initialize the module by saying go mode in it and then you give it a name like what module is it right uh i could call it toys or i could call it hello world or i could call it whatever i want and that would become the name of the module and then modules are the unit which gets um exported or imported so it's a kind of the the um the unit that gets distributed as a dependency so it it forms either a system or a library and we kind of talk about dependencies on modules right so um there is a version of the module there is a dependency tree of what this module uses what modules it uses and so on and for for managing modules you have and since goal 13 i think uh you have this kind of a module manager and when you say go mode in it it initializes the module and then it creates this um go mod file so if i show you what my go mod file looks like it says okay my module is called hello world and i'm not dependent on anything else but i'm kind of dependent on at least go 1.13 right i can change that um so i could change that to say we're gonna use some features from go 15 so i am now dependent on um on 115 and if you have if you did some imports in your project that require dependency what you would say is you would say go um mod tidy and it would check what imports you're making and if go needs to download the the imports that you are dependent on um we will we will kind of come back to that later on so the the bottom line here is that there is a concept of packages which is basically folders with source codes and that the package name uh of the of the package in the source code files there is a special purpose package called main and that's called for executables for entry point to your to your executables the entry point in your source files is uh called main um and um the module is a collection of packages right it was kind of a bit quick and i will commit the the structure of this into the uh into the repository um into the main repository of the of the course such that you can have a look um if you if you're doing the go tour it goes it talks about uh packages and um yeah it talks about the packages and the special meaning of package main and how you organize your your um your packages and the package kind of uh paths right so i can have a package inside another package so there is a package called math rant and then there is a folder structure kind of math slash rant right so you can see here that we we kind of following the the convention all right so that was a quite fast uh introduction to hello world printing and to um packages and modules but the good thing is that we've we've wrote hello world on the screen we rewrote it such that the function was in a different package and we could use it from main and also we we have done it such that the um uh the function was its own module is its own package right so the next step would be if you exported this module the hello world module and use it in another module right uh for that you need another top level folder and you would have a dependency on an external module and then how how would you do that well in go you do that through git so it's very similar to rust all that external dependencies are managed through git urls such that you would say i need to import this particular hello world pac module from a certain location which means i would have to commit my module to git and then somebody would make a reference to that git repository to make this dependency right so format is a module yes so um yeah so format strictly speaking is a package which is part of a larger module right uh because as you see here um so let me them hello world so here i'm not i'm not importing anything that has to do with git it's a standard library package that i'm importing and that's why i only have quotes right i i don't have a go get kind of a path here uh same uh if i quit that and go then command and the hello world here same here i'm i'm importing a package hello world because it lives in the same module i'm in so it is kind of treated as part of the standard library because i'm in a module called i called it hello world confusingly enough but in that hello world module i have a package which is called hello world and here i'm importing a package not a module uh if yeah so let me kill that and if i go to for example rest hello and let me see cut main no those are all let me just find a more complex yeah that will be so if i them [Music] main.go ah that one also doesn't have any imports which are external uh those are all packages um i i don't have an example i will prepare an example for tomorrow where i i am importing a module so to answer avid a format is a package not a module um all right so we are running out of time i have um i have a couple of more slides uh so i will kind of quickly use another two minutes to run through that uh such that i can close this um this mentimeter session i literally have four more slides so you can do object-oriented programming in in golang and for that uh we will do some examples tomorrow but we will use structs methods and interfaces um they are very similar to uh to java um so there is a question does every go file has an entry point in a form of main no so you can have you you can only have entry point in a form of function main in the package main such that in your other packages you will not have a main function because main can only be be in the main package and all the other packages will not have an entry point right they will be used by something that has an entry point but they will not have an entry point in itself um right so coming back to oriented patterns uh we will i will show you tomorrow some of those things um and interfaces are very similar to the concept of an interface in java and some other programming languages so you basically have a method signature which defines what type of methods can be called on something uh but you don't have the implementation the implementation comes with the type that that that implements that interface okay so here is a a kind of uh a quick example of an interface called called geometry which has a single method called area which returns a high precision float and then we have a struct uh which is at its tangle we have a struct which is a circle and then we have the area which is the geometry interface implemented for rect and for circle i will talk a little bit more in details tomorrow about this the the concept here is that we can use structs and interfaces to implement something similar to object-oriented programming and we don't need to declare that this particular struct implements this interface it is kind of a de facto implementing that interface because it has this method so if something implements the methods that you want in a particular interface you can cast it to that interface you don't have to say that circle implements this interface you just implement the the methods of a particular interface and then circle magically will be castable to that type right so it is different than in java because in java you have to be explicit you have to say my type circle implements that interface and if you don't say it but it has some methods of of this interface it will not be costable to that to that interface right so it makes some things more dynamic but it is still strictly type language like that the type system will infer uh that circle is castable to to that particular interface all right and then um there is uh you know um functions so um we we did you know played with functions already uh and like in the previous uh um um diagram or code listing you you know functions are declared with a word func and then there is a name of the function parameter list and return types we will do a little bit more tomorrow and for this particular functions we have this weird thing here which is a type specifying kind of a particular uh struct so this is a notation for methods on that struct so we have functions which don't have it at all like we had with the um with the main right so we have um we have a funk main that doesn't take any parameters and doesn't return anything and you know you have a body uh of the method of the function you could have a function which is like f so function name is f it takes a single integer and returns an integer and you could say you know uh return 10. so this function f is called f takes integer returns integer and here you have just one extra notation which is there is a a function area which actually operates on this particular struct and we call those methods because when you do that then if i have like so if i have for example a person type person here and i said there is f on the type um p which is a reference to person then what i can do later on i can say if i have a p as a reference to person i can say pf and call it with the integer right and that's why it's called a method because i'm calling this function on behalf of a particular struct um so that's all uh we gonna cover more on functions tomorrow and we will um there is a question can you implement multiple structs inside a method so no you can't you have to implement methods on behalf of the struct so it's uh you know for this tract i have this method and for this struct i have this method and they just happen to have the same name and they just happen to be the same name as my interface which means my rect which is my rect struct and my circle struct will be both geometry right so i can kind of cast um cast them to geometry and called print area on rects and on circles right so this method takes geometry instances and the instance can be either wrecked or extract because they both implement the geometry interface and the print area basically calls geometry g area which calls the method on the g which in this case is either r or c right so you cannot reuse the the method uh because it is specific to that particular struct like those struct have different uh fields so the implementation of this method for rect obviously has to be different than the implementation of this method for a circle um and to complicate things there is no inheritance neither right so if it happened that uh circle also has um you know x y coordinates same as the origin of rect we could we we can do it tomorrow then i cannot really inherit um in the circle from rect but we we will cover it tomorrow any other questions i'm kind of yeah i apologize that i ran out of uh time i was running too much but i was almost almost on time all right so homework for you um go to um go tour and kind of familiarize yourself a little bit with the with the syntax and with some basic structures and basic constructs of go and what we what we will do tomorrow we will talk a little bit more about those object-oriented patterns and the the methods and about pointers and um passing by value and passing by uh by pointer um so that's all if you have questions i am still here if you have um no questions uh thank you very much that's all for today and you can you can go and i will stop recording and the video of the lecture will be posted into the cloud course uh class and i will um and i will also put the mentimeter link there with the slides yes there is a possibility for asking questions if if you want to so i will stop the the video and uh you can ask questions and i i will be still here | GTL | UCoChi3eU2ThtVkhIpq_F20Q | 2021-01-26 | Creative Commons Attribution license

I am a professor there and I study circadian rhythms, sleep, and some diseases among shift workers and the work population in general. - I'm Drew Dawson, I'm the director of the Appleton Institute at Central Queensland University, and we've spent about the last 20 years studying the effects of shift work and fatigue, and in particular we're interested in the impact on accidents and injuries. - I'm Hans Van Dongen, I'm the director of the Sleep and Performance Research Center and a professor in the college of medicine at Washington State University in Spokane in the United States, and my research focuses on sleep deprivation and circadian misalignment, or what it is like to be a shift worker both in the lab and in the field. - I'm Diane Boivin, I'm the director of the Centre for Study and Treatment of Circadian Rhythms at Douglas Institute, McGill University, in Montreal and I'm studying the impact of circadian misalignment or disruption of the sleep/wake cycle on physiological rhythm and its application to shift work and also fatigue in the field for shift workers. - So you can see we've got a very impressive line-up today to talk to. But, Drew, before we begin into the questions, we're sitting here today at the 23rd International Symposium on Shift work and Working Time, at the lovely Uluru Centre that you've got us here to. Please can you tell us what is this symposium that you have arranged? - Well, every two years or so around about 100 to 120 people interested in the effects of shift work and treatments for shift work get together somewhere remote and exotic in the world, and the idea is to share with a group of academics, industry partners, regulators, what's the latest research in shift work, and what we can do to minimize some of the problems that are-- Have been identified with shift work. - Fantastic, that's great. So I might start with you, if I could, Diane. So for our audience, what do you mean when you're talking about shift work and working time? You can answer that question on two levels. First on the organizational level, it means group of workers who would alternate at a given position. And in French, we say 'travail posté', meaning that you're at a position and you rotate group of workers. At the individual level it means that you will work or end up working outside of the conventional weekday daytime hours, and often it involves working during the night-time period. And there's all sorts of organization, either it's permanent or a regular night shift or it's rotating or... You can pretty much observe a lot of organization of work throughout various organization or have a regular shift, being on call, and so on. So, these are atypical work schedules. - Thanks, Diane. And so Hans, have working times and shifts changed in the last 30 years, or are they still the same? - Well no, they've changed in a variety of ways. I think, first of all, we've gone to an increasingly 24/7-oriented economy and society, so the burden of society on people to work at all hours of the day has increased... Continues to increase ever and ever. What I think is an interesting observation to make is that the way we try to manage those hours from a regulatory point of view is starting to change as well. If we go back to the beginning of the Industrial Revolution and all the way through the past century, we see there's an emphasis on regulating work time, in other words putting maxima on how long you can work and putting minima on how long you should be off of work before you can rotate back into the workforce. What we're seeing nowadays is a tendency towards regulating not the hours per se, but the level of fatigue that is associated with those hours and trying to put a cap on that level of fatigue so that you try to minimize the number of errors and risks that are associated with fatigue that enter the workplace. And that's a whole different kind of way of looking at the problem. It's much more dynamic, and instead of just counting hours, what you're trying to minimize is the effect of those hours as they have on performance and safety. - Drew, have the working hours in Australia changed or are they, do they reflect international patterns? - Well, a bit of both. If you go back 20 to 30 years in Australia you will have found that there was probably half a dozen rosters that were being worked around the country. Now there are literally thousands of different rosters. For many Australians the changes in the industrial landscape over the last couple of decades and in particular the shift of negotiating shifts from government, unions and the industrial court to a situation now where it's typically negotiated between the employer and the employee at the local site means that we have a lot more people coming up with a lot of different rosters. The other interesting aspect of that is often people are designing and approving rosters with no expertise or knowledge about it, and as a consequence, sometimes short-term productivity gains for the company or income issues for employees tend to dominate the discussion rather than the health and safety aspects of it. - [Peta] Claudia, you, in your introduction, you told us that one of your expertise areas was in circadian rhythms. I wonder if you can, I understand that means our internal body clocks. I wonder if you can just unpack that a little bit more for our audience, about what is our internal body clock and why is it important? - Well, it is important because we are diurnal, so we are supposed to sleep during, at night and be awake during the day. And the problem is since the body was, since the body is with, has functions that are predetermined by during the evolution as diurnal, this means if you inverse your work schedule you have health problems. And it's important to understand that to do a task at three in the morning is not the same as at three in the afternoon, and this has consequences on performance, on health in general, and can also lead to a number of disease. I think it's important to understand sleep has to be according to the individual's needs, so some people really need to sleep more than others and this is not possible when you have quicker returns to work or you don't have days off enough to recover your sleep debt during the work week. - I might actually open to all of you because I know you all are researching in this area, but are there big differences between individuals, or... I've been hearing some comments over the last few days at this meeting, but perhaps I could ask you to tell me about the individual differences, and are they, do they really matter? - Well, I think tremendously. However, it's a point where we need more research because we understand very little the individual determinant that will make someone more vulnerable or resistant to shift work or sleep deprivation and, or on developing long-term medical consequences associated with shift work, and I think Hans has very nice details to share about resistance to sleep deprivation. - Yeah so, one of the things we know is that people differ in how they respond to sleep loss and to working at odd hours, in a systematic manner, in such a way that we even think it's a trait or possibly genetically determined to some extent. - [Peta] Is that the sort of early morning person versus... - That's an aspect of it. It's also some people are much more resilient to just not sleeping as much as they really should, and some people are very vulnerable when they even lose about 10 minutes of their normal sleep. You immediately see the consequences. The interesting consequence of these differences is that with more flexible or more variable work schedules, there is, in principle, a better work schedule for every specific individual, and if we could just match the individual with the work schedule, shift work might not be as big a problem as it is today. But because we put people in shifts that are not in alignment with their normal rhythms or not in alignment with the amount of sleep that they need, we then put them in a situation where shift work becomes a problem. And this pertains to night shifts, but it also pertains to early morning shifts. If you're a person, going back to this morning/this evening thing, if you're a person who is not a morning type and you're forced to work early morning hours, that is as much shift work for your specific individual as working a night shift for somebody who is not an evening type or an owl. - [Peta] So Drew, what are health consequences for, for shift work, for people with, they're not suited to it, or even if they are doing it most of the time? - Yeah, that's a very controversial area, Peta, and I suspect this is not going to be a satisfying answer to a lot of people, which is we have some preliminary data that shift work can cause health problems. Do we know the exact mechanisms of action and what's happening at the cellular level? No, we don't, but I think you could probably think of the health effects into a couple of broad areas. We know that there are profound effects of shift work on food metabolism and how we process food, and at certain times of the day, certain types of food that we shouldn't eat seem a lot more attractive than at others. I think we're also starting to see some good work showing that shift work, particularly where there's sleep loss, has impact on the immune system. So there's been quite good animal and human studies showing that you can be more susceptible to infection and you can take longer to recover when you've been a shift worker. But I think there's also a lot of social consequences that lead to potential health problems. So, shift workers often eat worse food, they exercise less. Traditionally they have smoked cigarettes more, have drunk alcohol more. So, in many cases we see some of the short-term coping mechanisms for shift work also leading to long-term health consequences for shift workers. But, again, this is a very new and emerging field and one that's going to require a few more years of careful research before we start raising the red flag. - [Peta] So, to any of you, are there gender differences? Are men and women the same? Are there age differences? I'm thinking about times when I've had adolescent children and their sleep needs, so are there... - Well, there's... The sex difference is a very, very important issue, and there is recent evidence showing that the way the circadian systems, or our body clock, controls sleep differs between men and women. And we know that there are receptors to sexual hormones within the body on the master clock. So, receptors to testosterone, progesterone... - [Peta] So could you just tell people what the master clock is? - Oh, the master clock is a tiny little structure in the middle of the head at the base of the hypothalamus. We call it the suprachiasmatic nucleus. You can throw that out during a party, it looks good. But it's a tiny structure and it's like the conductor, the master component of the circadian system. So, our system of body clocks, because we know there are several clocks now. But these are really sensitive to sex hormones, and the way, and they control a lot of function and rhythms throughout the body. It's so important that we have to study the sex difference. And there's some evidence that women could be physiologically more susceptible to be sleeping during the night, and so we need to pursue these question about the influence of sex, of age, individual differences and... But that's a great question. - Can I add something about sex difference? Because I think it's not only sex differences, but it's also gender differences. What is the role of women at home or men at home? And this means if you have problems to be awake at night, you also have problems to sleep during the day if you have to take care of children and to do domestic tasks. So this can also have an impact, an important impact on the adaptation of these women at work. And it's a physiological problem but it's also a social problem. - [Peta] And, Hans, is there age differences? - Yeah, age differences especially in shift work are very prominent, are very clearly easy to find. The general tendency is that as people get older, they have more difficulty adapting to or tolerating shift work. There's a variety of reasons for that. It's the natural aging process, but also the responsibilities that people have. When they get older, their life situation tends to change. So it's a constellation of factors that we haven't been able to tease apart very well. but we know that in general it becomes harder and harder as you get older to be a shift worker and actually function well or deal with the circumstances. - So you've been talking to me about the gender differences, some of the age differences, and some family, who's doing the caring at home. Drew, you touched on the health consequences. I'm wondering about, what about the... Are there safety implications in terms of increased accident risks or not? Is that a myth? - Yeah, I think there's been a lot of work in the last few years, and I think we now understand that people who work shift work get less sleep, people who get less sleep are tired and people who are tired make more mistakes, and if that happens in a workplace, they can injure themselves or others. And I think there's a pretty solid basis for making that conclusion now. I think the interesting thing, however, has been the tendency in the past to think, well, the obvious solution to people being fatigued is to make them not fatigued, and that somehow we will change their rosters in a way that fatigue will go away as a problem. I think we've matured a little bit in the last decade or two and we've now come to the realization that if you work 24/7, even if you get a decent sleep, you're always going to be tired at 4 o'clock in the morning. And I think we're moving from a culture and a safety mentality that says fatigue's a problem, let's get rid of fatigue, to saying fatigue's a problem. How can we get people to work safely whilst fatigued? And I think a lot of the development in the last couple of years has been to say, let's identify people who are fatigued, and then let's rethink about their job and how they do things and who knows they're fatigued, so that tired people can deliver health care and emergency services in those kind of occupations. Because, frankly, the inability to not provide the service politically has meant that people have pretended that fatigue's not a problem and done very little about it. - So, we're leading into one of the questions that I think will be of great interest to the audience. So, what can employers be doing in order to help accommodate tired workers? If you're saying it's a reality that some workers will need to be working even though they're sleep-deprived, And I'm opening it to the whole panel here. - Well, from our experience in Australia, and that may not be universal around the world, the biggest and the most important step is to get the organization to acknowledge that fatigue is a problem. We often say that fatigue is a forbidden topic of conversation, don't mention it because it'll cost us 10% in the next EBA. And our experience has been that once organizations choose to talk about it and see what they can do to manage the risks, a lot of that can be identified and you can develop quite sensible, practical ways to reduce the risk if not always changing the roster, so I think... - [Peta] So the first step is to start talking about it? - Yeah, I think opening the dialogue up and saying, fatigue's a problem, let's talk about it. Let's share the silly things people do when they're fatigued and let's see if we can redesign the system so even if people are tired, those mistakes don't necessarily cost lives. - So, Diane and Claudia and Hans, what are some of the things that employers can do to be redesigning the system to deal with this reality that some workers will be fatigued? - Well like Drew mentioned, it's very important to recognize there's a problem, an issue, and to realize that there's no perfect solution. The risk zero do not exist, so first recognize it if you want to manage it properly. And the other message is that one size doesn't fit all. It's a complex problem that needs to be approached by several different direction in order to mitigate its risk properly, and one recommendation may work very well in some environment. For instance, oh, let's try to adjust the body clock of workers to revert to a night-oriented schedule with interventions such as light. It could be okay in some situation but not at all in others. But there's some general principles such as try to sleep as much as you can. I think these are, you know... Avoid on a daily basis sleep restriction and the build-up of sleep debt as much as you can. But there needs to be some flexibility to accommodate the various situations. - [Peta] So Hans, some practical suggestions for Australian and international employers about what they can be doing to make work, design work better? - Yes, I think if you go to the working time arrangements that are currently in place, you start to look at how did they get it to be the way they are, you oftentimes find that they are a complex mixture of interactions and decisions being made by regulators, by managers, and by employees or unions, or a labour and management and regulator triad. And, so when you talk about what can employers or what can employees or what can regulators do to help with fatigue in the workplace, you almost always enter that triad, that complex interaction and have to start negotiating that problem from a more holistic point of view. And that can, under certain circumstances, be very difficult or controversial to do, depending on the relationships that employers, employees and regulators have with each other to begin with. It turns out, however, that if you start talking about fatigue, you spend a little time with the various different parties that are involved, and you start digging, to dig into that topic a little deeper, that you find that at the end of the day pretty much everybody wants the same thing. Everybody wants less fatigue in the workplace, more safety in the workplace, and if possible, also more productivity, and these things are not orthogonal. So, what I found is that to make progress in this area, if you can bring the various parties to the table and get them to understand that what they really want is all the same thing and start the dialogue from that perspective, then then it turns out that the working time arrangements and all the complexities that went into them can also be rearranged with a common goal in mind that makes it better for everybody. Maybe not perfect for anybody, because perfect is oftentimes the enemy of the good, but you can make progress and you can make improvements. - So your point is that consult with everybody including the workers, and of course in Australian legislation that's actually a requirement. - I just want to add to workers' parts, the workers' side, their families. It's very important to involve the families because the worker himself or herself cannot do nothing alone. So it's important to involve the families, as well the employers, the government, the regulators, and the workers. If we start from the regulation, you don't, you will probably not reach the workers. And so you need to start together with the workers and their families to support them. - [Peta] And what are some practical things that families can do? - Go ahead. - Okay, well, your comment, Claudia, also raised the concept of shared responsibility, so everybody has a responsibility to manage fatigue correctly, like the worker, they should use up their rest days to recover the sleep debt, the manager, they should offer condition that allow workers to recuperate between their shifts, and the family also, they have to realize, when I live with a shift worker, it has consequences. So when the person wants to rest, you need to protect that rest. And so as part of this process, education is extremely important. And I think all levels of the organization of the family, you know, if they can get educated on what are the challenge of working an atypical schedule and what can each of them do, that would help tremendously. - [Peta] So, I've been hearing over the course of this symposium, Drew, about some of the new technologies and interventions that are out there, and I wondered if you might talk about some of those, and perhaps our other panellists as well. I've heard about things like light therapy or using melatonin. Does any of that work? Is it something that people should be thinking about? - Well I think to come back to Diane's point, is that there are a lot of things that you can do, but it isn't a one size fits all. In fact, it's a one size doesn't fit most situation. And I think one of the key messages is that we have seen a shift in the last 10 years, and up until about 10 years ago, the primary control mechanism was the roster and discussions around the roster. I think we've seen the emergence of a whole set of new wearable computing, in-cab monitoring technologies. There's a whole set of very slick fatigue gadgets, as they are sometimes referred to as. And I think they have enormous potential to help with fatigue, but I'd also raise a cautionary note that often in some organizations they're seen as a silver bullet that's going to solve the whole problem. And to come back to Claudia's point, is it takes a family to support a shift worker. And sometimes the appeal of a piece of technology can override the more difficult but more important things that have to be done in terms of the employer's responsibilities, the family and community, the regulators. So I think we're going to see much more sophisticated systems as a result of technology, but I'm also cautious that sometimes they can be very appealing without necessarily having the evidence to support their effectiveness. - Diane and Claudia and Hans, have you got any comments about the new technologies or new techniques that might be useful, or a myth that they may help? - Well, in my case, I have been studying truck drivers for the past 10 years, and I can say, we need to work more on that. We didn't find a very nice technology to help them to really identify when they are sleepy and what they should do, and I think that this is mainly because what they should do is to sleep, and what the employer wants is that the truck driver reach that or deliver that goods on time. So this is a kind of controversial situation. And so we need to do these things together, technology and the support of the employer, I mean, in order to make the technology work. - Yeah, and I share the same opinion. And if we look at, f we look at, for instance, technology that can predict or evaluate the fitness for duty, I think they can create a false sense of security. Let's say, for instance, you have a worker arrive at the start of a night shift. The alertness can be pretty high and he can be fine at that time, but had he known about the circadian, the way the body clock controls alertness, he would know that at that time of day maybe alertness is high but it's going to dive into a low point at the end of the night. And the challenge is that these technologies should aid in controlling fatigue at work, but they cannot be the solution, because when the fatigue levels are too high, maybe it's too late also. So you need to mix education and discussion and have group of employees at various levels within the organization, and especially higher-level management should embark on this fatigue management initiative. - [Peta] And Hans? - I think one of the tricky parts is when you put technology in the hands of people that can freely obtain and use it, that you have to be careful about the tricky parts of human behaviour. There's an anecdotal example of truck drivers who have drowsy driving warning systems in their trucks and notice that they are being alerted to being drowsy and they decide that obviously they need to have sleep and therefore they start driving faster to make it home sooner, which is the exact wrong solution to the exact right identification of a problem. And so what, as with so many aspects of human behaviour, we know the basic principles, but how it actually plays out in practice is something that continues to be a topic of research, and it's really complicated. - [Peta] So I think we're beginning to run out of time, so I'm just going to ask all of you to give one concluding practical suggestion for our viewers on what a worker or an employer can be doing to actually minimize the health and safety consequences of fatigue. - I'm going to go for the cultural one and say it's okay to talk about it, and that if we have that dialogue we should be able to solve the problem, and it doesn't always require high-tech solutions. Just knowing that the person you're working with is tired will change the way you observe, interact and regulate their behaviour. And we see that kind of stuff happening in workplaces all the time, so I think there's some very good low-tech solutions that come when people think it's okay to talk about this topic and to share with others when they are fatigued, and particularly with their managers and people within the organization who are responsible for managing the safety of that organization. - [Peta] So speak up and tell people when you're tired. - Yes. - Well, I think I could say a number of things, but I go for the dialogue as well. I think it's more important to think about education programs that can actually be done in companies, with employers and employees, and also link this to the research world. I mean, this needs to be close, very close. We need to work together, the university, researchers, the companies and the real world. I think this is the most important thing. - Okay, yeah, I agree with all that is said and it's important to talk about it but also to do something about it. And, you know, we're researchers, scientists. We know the problem, we're trying to transfer the knowledge. But probably the solution will come from the workplace environment. So what do you do with this observation about fatigue? What can be done? What do you do if a worker says oh, I think I'm too tired. I'm not fit for duty. You need to start thinking ahead of time of alternative scenarios, plan B. A B plan, sorry. And make sure that you are proactive as an organization and have an open dialogue and, you know, make the workers feel that they can discuss that issue and that something is going to be done about it. - So we tell people, people like myself will tell people that it would be really great if you could sleep eight hours and if you could do it in the night and you could have a regular schedule and all those things that in shift work settings are basically pretty much impossible. I think the one piece of advice that I would give is beware of the simple but perhaps not correct solution. We have a tendency to ask, just tell me what to do. Just tell me how to solve this problem. And both from the research perspective and from the organizational perspective we don't necessarily have all the answers yet, which means that we don't, we cannot necessarily give you a one-size-fits-all answer to those complicated questions. But I would also suggest that sometimes the answer has already been found. Sometimes the answer is already in the organization, in the individuals, they've already come up with a solution to make things work. - So is that things like having power naps or having better lighting? - Yeah, so sanctioned napping in the workplaces can be a really good solution, it depends on the workplace and in some workplaces we find it works really well. Commuting where you share rides home to increase safety is an example of that, so people have found solutions that can, in their particular circumstances, be just perfectly fine. And I would suggest that yes, there is always room for improvement, but don't throw overboard the things you've already figured out that actually do work. - And maybe... You make me think about something which is, Hans, very important, that people often, they keep the model of a day, of a normal day-oriented schedule as a goal to achieve. Let's say, try to sleep in one single sleep episode and go as close as we can to, you know, normal behaviour. Actually, this can be quite detrimental in some work organization, and the model that you have to sleep in one single period can actually increase fatigue. So it's okay to have split sleep schedule. That can actually help you go through your work roster with minimal alertness impairment. And so you have to think outside of the box, basically. - Peta] So it's more important to get the amount of sleep even if it's not all in one go? - Exactly. - [Peta] Thank you very much. Is there anything, any concluding comments that you want? We've heard about a little bit of a power nap. I hear this really strong message about the need, there's no silver bullet. It's about getting enough sleep. I hear a really strong message about talking with workers in the workplace and trying to identify some practical solutions, because shift work is with us whether we like it or not. Are there any final concluding comments that you think that we should be taking home today? - Again, going back to the notion of dialogue, it's very interesting when you go and talk to organizations and say, tell us the dumb stuff you do when you're tired, and just having that conversation so people can then work out how to rework the workplace in ways that stops those errors happening. Health care, emergency services, defence, are all full of examples of where people, as Hans has pointed out, are already doing things to manage fatigue well, but they're not formal elements in the safety management system and in many cases, they're procedural violations despite the fact that they're making the place safe. - That sounds like that's a topic for another conversation, Drew, perhaps offline. - I'd like to say there is not a single solution. Although we are discussing this in an international meeting, there is not a solution that can fit every country or all companies, different places, different categories of workers. We need to understand that it can be different depending, according to the case. And this, I think, it's my final message. - Thanks very much. What's the role of the health and safety representative, and do they need more information about the health and safety consequences of shift work and long working hours? - Yeah, I think that's an excellent question, and just like most other aspects of running a business, it's an expertise that is required to be a part of the organization to function fully. Just like bookkeeping and your engineer and your building manager and all these people that have certain expertise, this is an area of expertise that needs to be brought into an organization that is based on shift work. So if there is a person or a department where that has a natural fit, it stands to reason to make sure that these people are educated on the topic and that they can propagate that knowledge towards the workforce. Now I would also submit that it's, that obtaining that knowledge is not something you can just do overnight. That requires some training, and as we've already discussed in this panel, there is some research that is starting to evolve but isn't really sorted out yet. And so I would submit that with Drew having brought together here a hundred or so experts in the world, maybe designated people in organizations can start to reach out to people like us so that we can then propagate the research and the knowledge base to the organizational officials that can subsequently translate it to the actual workplace. - I've heard a question from the audience which I think is an excellent one, quite a challenging one, is what's the role of your group to actually feed into groups like the ILO in terms of informing international conventions on working hours? - That's a really difficult question, Peta, and it's the $64,000 question in a sense. One of the challenges is that regulatory agencies around the world often try to come up with a one-size-fits-all solution. And we have enough trouble getting a one-size-fits-all solution in one organization and one group of workers, let alone something that's going to cover everybody all around the world. So I think the goal of groups like us is to focus people on letting go of prescriptive approaches to legislation. I think promoting performance-based regulatory frameworks is very important, but I'll also make the comment that global and UN-based regulatory bodies are not embracing performance-based regulation or legislation just yet, and I think that's a very slow global process that's going to take decades from its birth in 1972 and the Robens reforms in the UK. I suspect if we come back in 2072 we might start to see that, but I suspect, like most things at a global level, it takes a long time, and I'd be interested in the others' views from different cultures. I think Australia and English-speaking countries in general have pushed very rapidly into the performance-based approaches, especially to fatigue. But I also know in other countries that's not popular, and I know many other countries where the idea of regulating shift work and fatigue is the least of their problems, and they're more worried about a host of other problems before we worry about a few tired shift workers. - Also to add to Drew's comment, what is important is not only consider the work roster, the work shift organization, but also the workload because if the workload is low, and the risk associated with being fatigued at work is low, then the work hours can change, and these need to be taken into consideration. And so arriving with international guidelines that should be followed would, I think, put an organization at disadvantage in terms of flexibility and really recognizing and mitigating their own risk. So they have to be adapted to the nature of the task, the nature of the organization, and there needs to be some flexibility. - I'd just like to thank you all for joining us today in this panel discussion, and I look forward to meeting with you all professionally on another occasion.

8WEjFeOScnY | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WEjFeOScnY | Sieve Analysis Test | so today we're going to analyze some aggregate this material is granular a is a road based aggregate and normally this material would have come from the field from a stockpile where you actually sample in a representative manner of the material and then you bring it to the lab and this could be in a five gallon bucket or something the procedure according is basically carefully dropping in [Music] splitting the sample in half so when you look at this quartering device halfway go one tray and half will go to the other tray we will discard [Applause] part of it and repeat but again we're gonna quarter that or cut it in half one more time once this procedure is completed then we're dealing with a smaller amount of material in our testing we assemble a series of sims ranging from the one inch to the number 200 and in the description of the sieves when we talk about numbering the number 200 would mean that there's 200 of these openings in a linear inch we have a stack of service ready to go and the procedure now is to carefully inspect each one of these sieves for damage there could be a tear on the material there could be material stuck on it from previous use so you want to make sure that you start with the proper sieves and at that point you're ready to pass through the material through this series of sets [Music] the sieves have been arranged in an order from largest opening to smallest opening and at the bottom there's a solid lid or a pan at the bottom that will collect the material passing through all of them we put a lid on it and we're ready for the next step which is to put it in the shaker this is set up for five minutes so that when we press the start once the shaking process is completed we retrieve the series of cells from here from the shaker and we bring it back to our weighing station so at this point we're going to this dismantle this setup and individually sit by silver we're going to weigh how much material was retained individually in the cells so the first thing is to tear the scale so we start with a zero and um we go one by one this is the one-inch sieve that all the material pass through because it's granular a material and that's the specification we go to the next step and we have the particles and then so that number will be recorded and accounted for we can ask you either zero tear your material again scale again and then continue going to the next one each one that you time that you do this process it's very important to make sure that all the material some of the material will be stuck into the ship but it's very important that it all comes out and it gets accounted for to the right shift sides as we go through each sieve we're dealing with different quantities of materials and you're going to see more and more the need to be careful when you retrieve the sample so again zero and very carefully again there's material stuck to it which with the aid of a brush we're going to ensure that there's no material so this would be the new way corresponding to the particular sieve that we're dealing with and typically the last sieve would be the number 200 in a standard so after recording the amount retained in the 100 with zero clear the scale and we bring in the number 200 server as we get finer it's more critical that you are careful in minimizing the amount of dust and also ensuring that all the material as much as practicable has left the has been removed from the service this is sim number 200 which means that there's 200 openings per linear inch and that would leave us to a size of 75 microns or 0.075 millimeters is the actual size of the opening set number 200 the material that went through the number 200 is accumulated in the pan and that material will be what is known as the fines the content of fines in the soil which includes silt and clay material as you can see it's a powder uh you don't feel the grittiness because it's like a talc it's like a powder material and what this will be telling you is that is material that is particles that are smaller than 0.075 millimeters or in other words particles that pass through the number 200 [Applause] when we complete the experiment now we're going to have a total weight of a sample which will add very closely to the number that we started with and we're going to illustrate that in our calculations spreadsheet or when you do a manual calculation | Navita Academy | UCBlCFZhak6kZb1sN-xtGiEQ | 2020-09-30 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 831 | 4,392 |

657YBychmCQ | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=657YBychmCQ | Dating Coach Reacts to Engaged & Not Having Sex | Truth or Drink by CUT | welcome my name is Aubrey thank you for joining today and today I have a special video for you guys today okay something I'm gonna do it something a little bit different actually one of you guys my subscribers sent me this video and said and was asking me my my take and advice on the video and what they should do if they ever happen to be in this particular situation so I'm gonna be giving my own thoughts on what I think as the aggression goes off you know I'm not gonna take sighs I'm just gonna be as objective as I can be to this and this situation that this couple is okay I give you my take [Music] what would it take for you to have before marriage here I think you're a lot more than this than I am like revealing reason so you see the first issue here is just the fact that the first issue that I have with this is the fact that this guy is putting himself in a situation where it's it's not conducive to him or the girl right so pull the girl you know what she doesn't want to have sex and obviously the guy wants to have sex right so this whole weird Christian thing is just a kind of cop-out to the fact that and in all honesty I think this is the hottest girl that he's ever gone out with and happens to be you know she happens to kind of like him from her demeanor she is she has to kind of like take it or leave it kind of attitude about him you know honestly fall well herb they could probably not have ever sex ever and should be fine with it here's the thing I cannot say specifically that she's having sex outside of this but I can't for sure say that both of you needs his needs are not being met and her needs are being met for sure right whatever those needs are they are being met right so you know what if you are in the situation where this guy's is and you actually want to have sex with this girl have sex with a girl actually like all we should wait to aut get married should you stay with her if you're a Christian and you want to be like you know what I'm going to follow my faith all right whatever but honestly in his case that is not that is not the case he actually wants to have sex with his girl no I'll wait till marriage how to having a positive way until matters which is kind of a horrible situation it's being because if you're not willing to wait here's the thing it's unfair to put that pressure on her and it's unfair for her and it's unfair for you to be in a situation so you see the thing that she's hanging on this Christian thing oh no this is what we want is Christianity I'm a Christian I'm not gonna do it I'm not gonna have sex before marriage I don't wanna have sex for marriage but here's the day that's not his point aliy the reason why he's not having sex with her it's not because he's a Christian right it's because she doesn't want to have sex till they get married and is it cool to wait hey you know where you do what you gotta do but here's the thing this if you are ever in a situation where you your needs aren't being fulfilled in relationships and you stay just because for the eventualities you're going to get sex one day do it don't do it you know get our validation be with a woman that is at least at least gonna be like you know what gonna are gonna have the same level of Attraction employee I always advise that my guys like she should be more attracted to you than you are to her right and in this case it's the reverse she hasn't kind of take it or leave it I have to like I said what should the after that you need to have so now that the dynamic that these two are having is very it should be the guy that should be talking with the way she is and it should be the girl kind of like oh you know I want to be I want more sex I want to be with him more you know it's like she wants more outrageous just like the guys kind of like you know what I would get I am getting we are getting to know each other I don't really want to rush things you know in that way the attraction is actually maintained and actually built upon his faith he's like oh my goodness girl I just want to freaking bone so badly ah oh my goodness do it oh my goodness I feel so you know what I have clients like this the clients like this and they come to me is like a look I feel with this girl for three months and she's like I'm not gonna have sex before marriage and here's my thing right if a girl told you there's nothing to have sex before marriage all she's saying is I should rather have sex with you before marriage right that is what she is saying she's not saying that she's not gonna happen I think you a one-night stand with someone to do or she's not gonna she say she's not gonna have sex with you in particular now I think girls out there they're actually waiting or married because you know she's a Christian and here's the thing don't get me wrong she might be a pretty she probably deal that believes it she's a Christian 100% she doesn't have sex before but let's see let's keep watching but I will tell you this if you're the guy and you cannot wait before night don't sacrifice your well-being for somebody else that is just like and you keep my thing if the girl was so in love with him and she's like oh my god this babe just wait but she's a kind of she's like yeah whatever sure I'm not on all waiting that sure we'll have sex cool I guess know which one of us has a harder time not having sex [Music] the girls like no you have a hard time I'm fine I I could wait forever you know because my needs are being there am I saying that she's getting from somewhere else I don't know I don't know this person I don't know all I know is what I'm watching right from this demeanor I can see the guy is like he clearly wants to have sex with this girl and this girl is kind of like and if it here's the thing she's like if we get married sure we'll have sex and that is not kids I think that's not the attitude you want from the girl you are gonna have sex guys because it's not going to be as enjoyable as you would think thank you you are gonna be in all in and she's gonna be like huh I guess just waiting for it to be over and that's not the kind of leadership you want the girl that you were having sex with jumped in your frickin bones right you want her to be like she can't wait that every time you're not along she dreams she dreams of just writing that is you do not want to be in this kind of situation and I'm saying I have no problem with people waiting I have no problem for couples that are Christian and they say they want to wait until they you know get married that's fine that is fun if they both are in agreement but that is not situation here he's kind of like I want to have sex so bad not and she's like uh well I guess we'll wait and see we affectionate person naturally and she's a little bit she's like I don't wanna be hugged right now I mean II want to be touched right now like I'll usually listen as best as I can but I'll just like kind of like deaddrop if you like don't want to be touched Wow guys here's my thing there's nothing wrong with this girl there is nothing I don't believe in anything wrong with this girl me personally but here's my thing you don't have to go out with someone like this there are people that are compatible with a girl like this if this is the kind of girl that you're compatible with that's fine but if you're this kind of guy that loves a girl that is affectionate that loves to be touched that wants you around and that's the kind of person that you are you love to be affectionate you'll love to touch you love you know you love the sexual interaction with a girl if she's not like that that's fine but you don't have to deal with that person all right that's what I'm trying to teach you guys to be better with women and to be actually better men so that you go out with girls that you are compatible with that you don't just go out with girls just because okay you know what well I have no choice and I'm desperate so I didn't want to stay with this brother - she has a mouth interest in right so that is not what I'm trying to teach you guys different I have not had sex in like this no no no no I just hadn't oral sex before and it was another relationship that was just super super toxic and that was just kind of like covered everything up I would rather be in a relationship where I can grow before going right physical stuff wait so you see for him he it seems like he is always in this here's my issue with this right it's my main issue with this whole thing so with this whole dynamic fit of the fact that he he wants it he wants to have sex right and him getting him doing everything that he's doing right now he's not taking a straight right it's just not to you he's just thinking you know what I want to get married to this girl because we haven't had sex now why that's bad is because there are let's see if she does anything bad he's good at overlooking because he's like I'm so close I don't care what happens I'm gonna let this girl just walk all over me and that's fine here once again I don't know these guys relationship I'm just looking for outside in and this is not the kind of guy that you want in your life you just don't want this kind of dynamic in your leadership when it's like do you want something and the girl wants something totally different but she is dictating the entire relationship right she's leading the whole entire relationship which is not a good place to be in right you want to be the one detailing what happens in that relationship right and here's the thing you don't have to be 100% dictating but at least I'm also a good time you have to be taking the lead right she can take the lead on some things and you you could think we need to kind of things but in this relationship it just seems like she has the rainbow feelings to do whatever she wants right and kudos to her for finding a guy like this that is willing to just give up his hope I guess give up his whole life wants and needs for her but you never want to be in a situation like this Deb because it is not going to it always always never ends up well for the guy did you ever consider having an open relationship no because I would get so jealous so quick I could never do that I couldn't instead what's the craziest thing you've ever done sexually with someone I'm curious by the same time like I am such like a so you saw what I'm saying right I think it really literally proved my point right she obviously has done things sexually right and not just sexually like sexually crazy she doesn't sexually crazy but for some reason with this particular guy she's

CAwL1w02s7I | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAwL1w02s7I | 592 – Prevent or Correct Coat Stains in White Dogs | thank you welcome to Pure dog talk I am your host Laura Reeves and you guys some of our early listeners will remember that once upon a time Allison Alexander and I used to get together at least once a week for a tip of the week so Allison and I saw each other at the Garden and said hey girl let's do that again because it was really fun but now we're gonna make it a full podcast so look forward to many conversations with Allison going forward we're going to be talking about all kinds of stuff lots and lots of grooming stuff because I love what Allison brings to that and all kinds of handling stuff and everything we can think of so welcome back Allison I am thrilled so I am so happy to be back Laura like I said like seeing you at the Garden and we were both like hey how come we don't talk more and we're like yeah you know we just kind of both got really busy and it fell off but I'm so glad to be back I think that's perfect it's a great it's a great uh conversation that we have every single time and I think that's that's kind of what matters and it's great information for our listeners so I love that today I have a fabulous topic for us to talk about as many of you remember I grew up with clumber spaniels and long white coats is something that has been the bane of my existence for many years so we thought we would do a deep deep dive on just white coats and how we keep them up how we condition them how we clean them how we fix the staining how we prevent the staining and all of the pieces in between so let's go Allison let's start with prevention prevention is 90 of the Cure right yeah I don't know this this is very true um yeah so I think that's a good place to start with prevention um because one of the things I'll say about white dogs is even if you're you haven't prevented it and you need your dog to be whiter you need to follow some of the prevention protocols in order to keep them white um in my experience often once you start whitening a coat even with something you might think is gentle our dogs do tend to restain a little bit quicker so let's talk about that just for half a second sorry to interrupt but I think it's important that people understand why right because our whitening products strip the hair shaft yeah and it makes it more porous this is my understanding correct me if I'm wrong and then staining stuff whatever the stuff is whether it's urine or spit or dirt or grass or whatever gets into that open hair shaft yes correct so basically there are kind of three of the most the more popular ways to keep our dogs white once they're stained right so they are using a bluing shampoo something that has some bluing in it you know when I started we used to just use bluing like we would put certainly right um and so that does work but what that is doing it's really just changing the Spectrum you probably see that Tick Tock New toothpaste viral toothpaste that's out there that's exactly what these kind of shampoos do they take something yellow they put a purple purple filter over it and then our eye sees that as white and so problem a with that is you do that too often and you're actually then your eye starts to see the purple or gray or some something in between there I made a Smurf clumber once yes yes I've had many lavender um and then the other popular one is an enzyme it cleaner right so those are super popular and but what those actually do is the enzyme is actually eating the stain therefore eating some of the Keratin that's in the hair and then that makes the hair actually quite weak after a while and that it can not only um go dingy turn a different color can actually snap off right right so that's kind of scary same with bleach right bleach is doing the same thing so all of these things like they this is why prevention is so important because as much as we like to whiten our dogs you kind of want to do it as delicately or as less often as possible right the more often you're doing it kind of the more damage you're doing right um so yeah so prevent so for me it starts with prevention so prevention is sometimes a little bit easier um than you might think right uh is your dog running around on the lawn are they getting grass stained right are they just getting dirty are you hiking a lot um your crate we all love these aluminum crates but sometimes you know if they're not freshly painted or you haven't kept up what's inside the crate um that can wear off onto your dog's coat um blankets bedding the there can be dye transfer from that and it might you might not even notice it day to day but after a week or so um that build up is on our dog's coat water buckets are another big one you know if our dogs are always damp especially some of you know especially white dogs with beards that are drinking out of these buckets they're always damp and that just creates this color then of course there is different foods different ways our dogs metabolize food and or water it could be the quality even of your water um you know I know a lot of people that have toy breeds that just buy distilled water and that's the only thing their dogs are allowed to drink and you know that is more uh you know that's easier to do for some of these smaller breeds than if you have Saint Bernards that you're trying to keep yeah I don't want to you know Wade in the butter yeah exactly so thinking of prevention like how is my dog getting stained you know is it eye staining how can I can I clear that up myself by going to my veterinarian and seeing what the underlying issue is chewing in their feet is it a food allergy there's all these there's the thing is is that our dogs aren't white for so many different reasons that finding that and then figuring out how much of that can I control right then we have other things urine right some of our dogs like to pee on themselves right whether they're boys or girls what about girls that come in season or English that are that pee on their pants standard poodle right like you know so there's like all these different ways that our dogs are staining in different parts of their coat and what can we do for those things to help out so my number one tip is always and I'm really excited to hear your thoughts on this conditioning condition condition keep them clean bath them regularly and condition the coat seal the hair so that nothing can get into it yeah absolutely positively right so I am everything gets passed once a week like that's how it is but if you that is staining from urine it is staining um from drinking out of a bucket then yeah you need to maybe be spot cleaning those areas during the week right to really keep it up oftentimes it takes way less time than we think but conditioning sealing that cuticle back up because as we said a lot of these shampoos how they work is they blow think of a hair cuticle like scales on a fish right and we want those scales to be super tight and waterproof most shampoos that we use work by blowing those the hair shaft open to suck the dirt out of the hair very few products seal it right so we want products that seal it so it doesn't restain as quickly and to me that's just part of the game wash condition prevent and dry because the damp part right is causing all the problems also so wet beards I think about spinoni obviously white wire hairs West Island white terriers you know anything with a beard that they get spit or they drink a lot or whatever it is that's the moisture is what's causing the bacteria that's causing the staining absolutely the other thing about that is most of the products that are designed to seal the hair shaft will only seal it with heat right so if you're not drying them to your point that those products aren't going to work um when it does come to those bearded breeds so anything wire coated you know we'll often see that little crease in the bottom lip and I'm just going to pull those hairs out right because they seem to um just suck in the moisture the moisture gets stuck in that and then it like kind of spreads it to the rest of the beard anything that is softer coated so like a bichona Maltese a Havanese anything like that I like to trim the upper and lower lip line like just very very carefully with like small um like snub nose scissors and that way that hair doesn't get sucked into the mouth and stained and it's it's that hair that acts on both the wire and the softener coated it acts as a wick right so that Wicks the water into the rest of the beard and causes more and more staining right absolutely um and like you said and then that's the bacteria and then the bacteria just keeps breeding more and more lovely red staining that we call Fabs making a mess um and so I personally and speak to me um you have lots more product knowledge than I do that's your absolute strength I just tend to rely on what I know um but when I'm washing and I'm spot washing right so a lot of my dogs aren't are wire coated dogs they're not getting a jacket bath every week or daily but my bearded dogs that beard gets washed When I'm showing it I'm campaigning it whatever that beard is washed daily washed condition dried every single day what's your favorite product for that um so I'll use a couple different things if I'm on the road I'm traveling and I still want to keep that beard really clean I'll actually use baby wipes right so baby wipes um are kind of my go-to I'm on the road and I want to keep that beard clean so especially after they've eaten which is a big one for me and or you know if I can if they're out for a big walk and then they have a drink before they go in their crate and I continue on my journey I'm going to use a baby wipe because a lot of them do have a gentle cleaner in it and that cleaner will help um kind of automatically dry that beard so I'm going to really scrub it with probably three baby wipes if it's a spinoni maybe one if it's a West and follow the towel and towel it dry right so that's my on the road thing um at home I'm gonna use typically I don't like to use something with blueing in it um every day right so I might use a self-rinsing shampoo like OC magic foam or something like that that's clear because I don't want to be adding color to it they also speed the drying process right a lot of those rinseless shampoos do help speed the drying process and let's face it when you're drying that beard once or twice a day you know saving five minutes helps you out um inv actually makes a fantastic beard spray that um so when we also talk about staining and white dogs I would like to also think about staining on our blue dogs right so coming my mom had Sky Terriers I showed some of them and they would get that brown staining that you could see even though they were blue but I found that using that inv beard spray so same thing I'd wipe it with a baby wipe and kind of air dry brush it and spray the beard spray in it and again it helped clear the bacteria kill the bacteria that was in there that's causing that kind of red staining um you know at home I'm gonna just use shampoo right just a pretty easy shampoo and then what's your go-to conditioner um well I like something that seals a cuticle and speeds up my drying time so um I use typically 95 of the time I use Chris Christensen after you bathe um it seals the cuticle it cuts down your drying time by like 30 percent um and I dilute it eight to one it doesn't say that on the bottle but I dilute it eight to one and I find that I get good too really yep I get really good results from that okay great um I and I know this may make everybody's head spin off their body but having had enough spinonis that I had to salvage a beard right like go get that beard back um I have found that I can use the hydrogen peroxide likely similar like we use the the higher not the wound kind but the the Hair Care kind put that in a spray bottle spray after bath before condition and that will help dry it and then put your conditioner and that for me has been very successful in trying to maintain that kind of thing we are at the Kentucky on a cluster of dog shows and I'm talking to Dr Karen Potter she is a German Wirehaired Pointer breeder trapanian breeder and she's also a veterinarian and Karen's going to talk about what troopian means to her as a breeder and also what it means for her as a veterinarian when I became a true Canyon breeder and I sent my letters out I knew that they were going with 30 days of coverage had one of my owners have an emergency with them that's comforting to me as a breeder to know that they can get help as a veterinarian there are many cases where we have to make decisions on how to treat Things based on financial restraints and when the financial restraints come into play we can't always do absolutely everything for that pet so if my puppies are covered at least for those first 30 days I know that if they get sick they can get the best possible care yeah interesting I um once had a Samoyed come to me and he was about three years old in full specials coat and was completely urine stained like his entire rear end halfway up his front and front legs and he had just lived in a big kennel on cement and had sat down and you know Sammy's have a more porous coat and I got him in like November I especially in the next year he ended up winning like 30 best in shows um what I did is I used milk a very old like English recipe so I used milk of magnesia the three percent hydrogen peroxide so the first aid kind not the hair kind and basically enough cornstarch to bind the two together like a loose toothpaste and I would literally smother him in it every and I did it and I if I use that formula we'll say now I still do it the same way last X right they came in from last X and I smother them in it and then I just put them to bed um if they're living in your house they should sleep in a crate that that night because it's messy right and I let it dry and it's like the milk of magnesia and it like helps draw the staining out naturally now this isn't something that's going to take a urine stained dog to white overnight like this took like three weeks but it also didn't damage the quote right um and I just kept reapplying and reapplying and reapplying and you know some of those things do really work right and that um I have seen that used a lot the clumbers the eye stains the bib stains particularly but the eye stains and clumbers that can be real problematic um that particular recipe works great yeah the I like the just straight peroxide and then condition conditioning like super heavy conditioner in the beard because if it gets a little bit in their mouth it's not going to hurt them right like right if we use peroxide to make them throw up right so I've got to work around here where I'm really concerned about them ingesting it and I don't really want to leave anything the the milk of magnesia recipe on their beard because then they're going to eat it right yeah exactly so so that was that was my trade-off talk to us about because there's some really great Solutions and I know you are going to have a good Insight on this for different things that we can give them internally and and I think this is such an important part of the prevention right we start with the diet and and the and the supplements that we need to give them to keep the hair white to start with right so you know a lot of our dogs have food allergies and a lot of those allergies show up as reddish coat uh between the toes typically it starts around the ears it can be around the mouth it can be um you know a drooling dog that has more red wherever that drool is is hitting the hair right the mouth the beard the bib Etc so um Tums right so a lot of people will use something like Tums because they feel that it levels out the um the end the enzymes in the body right so that the drool isn't the stomach fluids Etc acidic um and I know a lot of people that have had a lot of success with that I don't know personally whenever I've tried it that I've had a lot of success with that um I'm what I have had success with is buttermilk powder so um a lot of nasty people that I talk to especially in the UK they just buy like bulk buttermilk powder like you would do to make up your own milk um from like the baking supply store and they just put um about a teaspoon on their food morning and night or every time that they feed them and they've had a lot of I personally had a lot of success using that um there are people that will use a low-dose antibiotic right yeah Island powder tetracycline doxycycline um and putting their dogs on it for 30 days on two days two weeks off 30 days on kind of thing so that's something that you'd need to talk to your veterinarian about and how they feel about it but people that do have that work I did have somebody recently reach out to me about white dog food so dog food that is specially formulated to help our dogs stay white and I know I saw it on Amazon but I know you can get it in the UK and it's uh called um Nature's protection Superior Care white dog formula so Nature's protection is the brand name then Superior care for white dogs is like their formula kind of like prenup and feminine rice right um so yeah I mean I haven't used that but but like the I read a lot about it and I've talked to a couple people that have used it uh particularly with Bichons and they they've had great success with it and they kind of showed um dogs that pre that food then post that food and their hair not only isn't stained but actually does look whiter like the new growth that's coming in um yeah that's kind of cool so I'd like to get more kind of into that and understand how that really works um but I think you know really watching for allergies and understanding that our dogs can be allergic to food watching out for foods that do have a lot of dye in them like they do say that that is one of the things and not only watching out what they're eating but what are we giving them for treats right and you know as I've stopped showing other people's dogs and I only have my own dogs now I've noticed that I'm like pretty generous with the treats and maybe I'm not always paying attention I'll pay attention to what they're eating like their food but then you know I'm thinking huh they're actually eating quite a bit of treats that maybe I'm not paying attention to so I think that there's lots of things you know washing your water what is the pH in your water do you have hard water is distilled water an option for you I mean I just know so many Maltese people that really some Maltese people every every Maltese person I've ever talked to you never ever they don't get to drink anything but that and I actually had a really interesting conversation with Tara Martin about Maltese and she said that genetically like there's there's good white hair and not good white hair which I thought was super interesting um I know that in clumbers I had one special that could not eat any food that had beet pulp in it I mean I literally changed his food from one with beet pulp to one without and within a I don't know four to six weeks staining gone huge difference so there's that one the only other one that I've used and had intermediate success with and I think it has to go to the pH balance in your water I know some Akita people that have white Akitas that will use apple cider vinegar the kind that has like the mother you know the stuff in it and put that in their drinking water so again I think it's back to the pH balance and I had one white Akita that I used that with and it was I mean she didn't have any eye stains so I'm gonna go with it was good yeah and I actually I meant to mention apple cider vinegar earlier because when we showed a lot of English Setters um that were quite heavily coded and it was the urine staining right it wasn't so much they didn't really have tear staining or a lot of drool staining but the boys you know had big white kind of Furnishings that would they'd pee on their loin hair and their front legs the girls would sometimes get their pants in it and I've I swear by apple cider vinegar for reducing the acidity of the urine so it doesn't smell as much which is kind of a bonus um it doesn't stain the coat as yellow it just doesn't get as yellow so obviously there's something there with the enzyme all of that and I've had great success using that right and also they weren't tear stained but I never really thought of that before but you know it really helped right so there that was that was that was the only other one that I've that I personally have used that I thought had some success the one that did actually completely Blow Me Away was the was the beat bulb one and I had to you know it's like go in this dog food store and read every label and try and find something that you know doesn't have beet pulp um but it worked so um okay different kinds of white hair um I think and and different ways we treat from The Wire coat to the poodle coat to the Old English Sheepdog coat rate the bearded Cali coat there's there's so many different kinds of hair types within our white the sammies right the a white Siberian a white Akita so let's talk a little bit about different ways we would treat those different coat types um definitely conditioner is going to be your best friend across the board right for any of those white coat types I will say that the harder the coat is the more I would stay away from Bleach right so typically if you take like a West Highland white terrier and you want to bleach some of that biscuit out most likely you're just going to turn it bright orange right uh so not the desired effect where if you use a softer coat a poodle coat um a Maltese coat you can get away with using more of a bleach type product if you were at that point where you needed to use bleach and it's going to in my experience be more successful for you right interesting um in all cases you must use conditioner all the time I will say whenever you are using some kind of bleaching product um once you have decided to either go with bleach or an enzyme cleaner you you from then on should bathe your dog in something White yes right you can't bleach a dog and then bathe it in a bluing shampoo you can't use it cleaner then right because you are going to turn them bright purple bright blue color Smurf the clumber yes Smurf the clumber there's lots of different things you can do there are some you know now that we're getting better and better toners in the hair world so this is something where you need to go to a beauty supply store and talk to somebody that is experienced but there is a better CH like you can't dye hair white is the problem right so if once you bleach the hair the hair is going to have a yellow cast right because um you know we've pulled so much protein out of the hair that that's what's left and so then to put something back in you need to use like a very light Vibe like it's looks white to you but it's basically Violet and that is what's going to put that white pigment back into the hair I don't really like bleaching the hair to that point even though on the odd poodle I've had to do that that was very very creamy but like I said you can't do it on a Westie something harder coated even you know our Bearded Collies um Old English sheep dogs I'm more going to use like a milk of magnesia type recipe rather than a bleaching type recipe right so the harder the coat the harder it is weight typically and so the one thing we haven't really talked about is short white coats Dalmatians or um smooth fox terriers or you know in that any of those kind of guys so again here's where I think food and water is so important because you know I've always said short coated dogs need twice as much grooming as long coated dogs because you don't have any other you can't hide it there is no way to hide it it is there for the world to see so that's the same if they're not going to be bright white so actually my favorite tried and true Whitener that I use for my smooth coated dogs I will even use it on like I do use it on poodles and other things as well but for short-haired dogs that has never let me down I've been using it for 25 years I think it's one of the most undersold products at dog shows and it's Crown Royal Whitener yes so Crown Royal Whitener comes in a tub it's a white powder now do not get it confused with Crown Royal grooming powder or Crown Royal chalk which is also confusingly sold in the same tub the other thing is that it needs to be used with 20 volume cream developer so 20 volume peroxide like that you mentioned earlier and they don't sell the two together right you have to go to like Sally what we call those secret under the counter things that you just have to know so that's why we have our podcast today we can know are under the counter in ways to do things it's the In and Out secret Burger menu right this is what we're doing right now this is our secret Burger menu so for whatever reason Crown Royal decided not to sell the two things together which is like mind blown for me and so like even if you can find the Whitener at the dog show it's still two days till you can use it because you have to find a beauty supply store that's open up your best and show and get there and buy it right so again um I like to do it last thing at night uh after last X I'm going to mix up the Crown Royal Whitener and the um 20 volume I like to use cream developer you can use clear developer but I just find cream has the conditioner in it already right yes okay right I make mix it into for a short-haired dog like just about toothpaste consistency and I smear it on there and put them in a crate overnight right and maybe they will lick it and maybe they would vomit if they did I have again used it for 25 years I've never had a dog get sick from it it makes them absolutely positively white sparkly sparkly white I use it no more than once a month the next morning how I like to do it is they go out so like you know this is a plan right right it's not like you don't do this willy-nilly last X they come in you do it the next morning you have planned that's the first dog getting a bath right so they go out for their morning exercise they come in I I like to rinse it off and immediately apply conditioner right so I immediately can apply the conditioner I leave it on for three minutes then I just shampoo and condition as normal even though they're short-haired dogs I put conditioner on them right and um it and it does make them absolutely sparkly white um and like I said I've used it on poodles I've used it on American cockers I've used it on Bearded Collies Old English Sheepdogs I've used it on beards I've used it you know on everything um it's not expensive which is fantastic I'll say it can be hard to find Crown Royal you may have to online shop it out here on the West Coast it's hard for me to find Crown Royal products anymore unfortunately I will agree shampoo is the best wire coat shampoo I've ever used barn on and the other thing is even places that do carry Crown Royal don't often carry the Whitener because they think it's another chalk right right and it's not a big seller um but I think it's because it's on the secret Burger menu right I mean I think that that's why um and I think if they sold it with like this is how you use it like it doesn't even yeah like put the peroxide with it right um in the interest of full disclosure um I think that Chris Christensen is going to be taking over some of the distribution of Crown Royal and then I am very hopeful that I will be able to say this properly all this with some cream developer but you know that's next year um just FYI maybe that could help more people get it off the secret Burger menu on the main stage menu right and I just find it's easy to use it's easier to use than than bleach it works every time name it's cheap too right um the only other one that I have had some success with is I think it's a crisp product isn't it the Whitening Gel I think that's number one all systems you're right and I was trying I think the picture in my head yeah and I like like feet and plumbers right like I'm not going to use it in a bib sort of thing but in the short hair clumber feet are notorious they lay their heads on their feet and spit on them it's just a thing and so for that you know if I get got a dog in that was Genji and I had to get it ready to go right now that you put that um Whitening Gel on hot dry it in and then wash and condition Magic yeah that is the one I have had good success with I've had really good success with that as well and I where I've used it not only have I used it on feet I've also used it showing a lot of like um white poodles or Bichons where people have used ear medication and it's left a bit of staining I've just like put the gel on again hot dried it in and by the time you bath it out it's Crystal white it is it is truly amazing what I've seen it do I used to buy it by the carton and it is it's another one that's a little bit harder to find too right so it's like why are you making these good things hard for us to find but anyway make our lives difficult okay any other last words for our white coated dog owners um so for me it's when you're using these products use them as little as possible right so you don't want to it it's often it's not a case of um more is better right so if you're used if you're using a bluing shampoo and it's working for you use it sparingly because otherwise your dog is going to turn gray or blue or purple or Smurf right if you're using an enzyme it cleaner remember that the enzyme is actually eating the hair as well as the stain there's no two ways about it it is and you need to use it with the hottest water you and your dog can take but make sure your dog is well not just you and use it as sparingly as possible or you're going to get a lot of coat damage right if you're bleaching or using a Whitener or a white lightning or white whatever it might be use it as sparingly as possible which is why the prevention part of this is also so important that's why finding the internal part is it your water is it the food do they need to not eat beet pulp right whatever that is find that out because you don't want to be making a problem the other thing that I see is is people either over diluting or under diluting product right so if you over dilute a product if they tell you to use it eight to one and you're mixing it twelve to one it's not going to do the job that it's made to do if it's telling you to dilute it and you're not maybe you are going to stain that hair right um also leave it on don't put it on for two minutes like if it says leave it on for five minutes and just actually one thing that I will say about using especially um a bluing type product is pre-clean so oh my God yes so here's the thing is that our dogs have environmental debris on their code right they have fabric softener from laying on their dog bed they have product styling products we've put into them from the dog show maybe they have a natural coat oils right they have natural oils in their hair they have everything and so a lot of times some of these products can't do the job that we want them to do because they're trying to fight through the environmental debris or natural oil or whatever styling product that's on their coat so pre-wash with typically a good clarifying shampoo but remember that a clarifying shampoo can be a little harsh as well then use your whitening product then use your conditioner and please to help yourself out say the shampoo is supposed to be left on for five minutes and you did it for three and the whitening shampoo is supposed to be left on for five minutes and he did it for three if the conditioner says five minutes please do it for six that's the one like ten exactly like if you are tight for time the extra time goes to the conditioner every single time when you're whitening not only to seal in what the goodness that you've done but to seal out the next round of that to me that's it right it's to keep it from because once you strip that you've got to protect it and I think of the conditioner as like a raincoat right like it's the it's the it's the little wrapper that goes around every single hair to keep more from getting on there exactly exactly totally no on our white hair I think that's an official term okay I think it is official all right well Allison it is phenomenal to have you back I've missed you madly well thank you so much I really do appreciate being back on pure dog talk I've missed our Pure dog talk so hopefully we can do this again and we will have some lengths you'll drop me a couple links some Leading Edge dog show Academy links that we can drop in the show notes and you guys be looking forward to more of these all right all right thanks everyone [Music] | Pure Dog Talk | UCDEDtwJWRsyWHQ1qYymjuCA | 2023-08-01 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)

0XNiVFUJcy8 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XNiVFUJcy8 | History of cardiopulmonary resuscitation - Wikipedia Article Audio | history of cardiopulmonary resuscitation Wikipedia audio cardiopulmonary resuscitation also known by the acronym CPR is an emergency procedure performed in an effort to manually preserve intact brain function until further measures are taken to restore spontaneous blood circulation and breathing in a person who is in cardiac arrest it is a basic but proven first-aid skill practiced throughout the world it is an effective method of keeping a victim of cardiac arrest alive long enough for definitive treatment to be delivered prior to the inception of cardiopulmonary resuscitation there had been some techniques to keep people alive developed in the 18th century both in Japan and in Europe however it was not until the mid 20th century that James Elam and Peter safar discovered and published the method now known as CPR safar conducted research on existing basic life support procedures including controlling a person's breathing airway by tilting back his or her head with an open mouth and using mouth-to-mouth breathing he combined these with a procedure known as closed chest cardiac massage to become the basic life support method of CPR throughout his life safar was hesitant to take credit for inventing CPR the way he saw it he merely brought to light effective procedures that humans had already discovered putting them together into what he called the ABCs maintaining a patient's airway breathing and circulation he worked hard to popularize the procedure around the world and collaborated with Norwegian toymaker åsmund Laird all to create Risa cyan the CPR training manikin layer till now is a medical equipment manufacturer first attempts at resuscitation in the 18th century safar also created the first guidelines for community-wide emergency medical services or Em's he founded the International resuscitation Research Center at the University of Pittsburgh which he directed until 1994 and he was nominated three times for the Nobel Prize in medicine in August 1767 a few wealthy and civic minded citizens in Amsterdam gathered to form the Society for recovery of drowned persons this society was the first organized effort to respond to sudden death the society's techniques involved a range of methods to stimulate the body the members of the society recommended Society in Amsterdam claimed to have saved 150 persons within four years of their founding with their recommendations the first four of these techniques or variations of them are in use today following successes of this first society rescue societies soon sprang up in most European capitals all with the goal to find a way of successfully resuscitating victims of sudden death this theory proved so popular that Hamburg Germany passed an ordinance in 1769 providing notices to be read in churches describing assistance for drowned strangled and frozen persons and those overcome by noxious gases probably the first example of mass medical training the Royal Humane Society in London founded in 1774 served as the model for societies in New York Philadelphia and Boston these rescue societies of the 18th century were the precursors of today's emergency medical services similar techniques were described in early twentieth-century jujitsu and judo books as being used as far back as early 17th century a New York Times correspondent reported those techniques being used successfully in Japan in 1910 in jiu-jitsu those techniques were called capo or kuda sue scientists and doctors started to try and address the problem from many different sites including developing new medications devising new surgical techniques and identifying risk factors doctors James Elam Peter safar and Archer S Gordon set to educating the world about rescue breathing preventive measures and trying to discover a way to treat acute cardiac arrest Gordon initially did not support rescue breathing until he performed a study of his own using pediatric patients reproducing Elam's results safar had also been working on the feasibility of rescue breathing so they agreed that a concerted effort would be much more valuable than each working separately and possibly reproducing each other's work modern resuscitation prior to the 1950s the accepted method of resuscitation was the chest pressure and arm lift technique that was shown to be ineffective by safar and elem in 1954 Elam was the first to demonstrate experimentally that exhaled air ventilation was a sound technique Elam and safar performed many experiments demonstrating the superiority of the rescue breathing technique the problem then became one of popularizing the method organizations such as the American Red Cross provide training at local chapters in the proper administration of artificial respiration procedures the Red Cross has been teaching this technique since the mid 1950s for example in Kalamazoo Michigan volunteer Roger mahalik introduced a breathing trainer called miss sweet breath 1959 a plaster and plastic training mannequin he created in New York then state health commissioner Herman Hilla bow was impressed with the technique he commissioned Elam to write the instructional booklet titled rescue breathing which was distributed nationally in 1959 the success of the booklet spurred Elam to produce films demonstrating this new life-saving technique by 1960 rescue breathing had been adopted by the National Academy of Science American Society of Anesthesiologists Medical Society of the state of New York and the American Red Cross as the preferred method of resuscitation several key discoveries and understandings were required to treat the problem which would take decades to work out and even now is not solved doctors speak of the natural history of diseases as a way to understand how therapy alters the usual progression of a disease for example the natural history of breast cancer may be measured in months but treated with surgery or chemotherapy the disease can be measured in years or even cured sudden cardiac arrest is a disease with an extremely rapid natural history measured in minutes with an inexorable outcome but when treated with CPR the course of death can be extended and if treated with timely defibrillation death can be aborted the modern elements of resuscitation for sudden cardiac arrest are cardiopulmonary resuscitation defibrillation and emergency medical services for a long time before it was formalized it had been known by doctors and midwives that mouth-to-mouth resuscitation could be useful in bringing a lifeless newborn around in 1946 during the middle of a polio outbreak an anesthesiologist James Elam applied this principle to an older child in an emergency situation Elam described the event in his own words as I was browsing around to get acquainted with the ward when along the corridor came a gurney racing a nurse pulling it and two orderlies pushing it and the kid on it was blue I went into total reflex behavior I stepped out in the middle of the corridor stopped the gurney grabbed the sheet wiped the copious mucus off his mouth and face sealed my lips around his nose and inflated his lungs in four breaths he was pink mouth-to-mouth ventilation chest compressions before this rediscovery elem read a chapter on the history of resuscitation in which mouth-to-mouth ventilation for newborns was described he credits this chapter for his reflex behavior Elam's passion led to his proselytizing about the merits of mouth to nose ventilation he set out to prove that exhaled air was adequate to oxygenate non breathing persons in 1951 Elam was on staff in the department of anesthesiology at Barnes Hospital in St Louis Missouri as he was about to start his research into co2 homeostasis a new department chair was appointed who wanted all research in anesthesiology to be performed using animals not humans Elam realized this would not be feasible and moved to Buffalo's Roswell Park Memorial Institute along with his top two collaborators l1s Brown MD and Raymond age 10 pas MD he obtained permission from his chief of surgery to do Studies on post-operative patients before the ether anesthesia wore off in this study he demonstrated that expired air blown into the endotracheal tube maintained normal oxygen saturation the use of compression and ventilation together defibrillation the first out-of-hospital defibrillation the development of emergency medical services recent developments in CPR several years later James Elam met Peter safar also an anesthesiologist convincing him to join the effort to convince the world that expired air ventilation was effective safar set out on a series of experiments using paralyzed individuals to show that the technique could maintain adequate oxygenation Peter safar describes the experiments 31 physicians and medical students and one nurse volunteered consent was very informed all volunteers had to observe me ventilate a nice theta stand kirari iced patients without a tracheal tube i sedated the volunteers and paralyzed them for several hours each blood ohh - and co2 were analyzed I demonstrated the method to over 100 lay persons who were then asked to perform the method on the kirari iced volunteers these experiments provided compelling data to switch from manual to mouth-to-mouth ventilation the United States military accepted and endorsed the method in 1957 and the American Medical Association followed suit in 1958 the May 17 1958 issue of JAMA contains the following endorsement skillful performance of expired air breathing is an easily learned life-saving procedure it has revived many victims unresponsive to other methods and has been proved in real emergencies under field conditions information about expired air breathing should be disseminated as widely as possible sources unlike cessation of respiration an obvious sign of sudden death the cessation of circulation and particularly the rhythm of the heart is not as easy to spot for a lay observer although a trained eye now can see signs such as lack of perfusion perhaps as a result of this being less obvious the appreciation of artificial circulation as a key factor in resuscitation lagged considerably behind the obvious need for artificial respirations if the scientists working on the problem appreciated the need to circulate blood there was simply no effective means to do so even though closed chest massage was described in 1904 its benefit was not appreciated an anecdotal case reports did little to promote the benefit of closed chest massage the prevailing belief was described in a physician's quote from 1890 we are powerless against paralysis of the circulation the formalized system of chest compression was really an accidental discovery made in 1958 by William Bennett Cowen heaven guy Knickerbocker and James Jude at Johns Hopkins University they were studying defibrillation in dogs when they noticed that by forcefully applying the paddles to the chest of the dog they could achieve a pulse in the femoral artery further meticulous experimentation involving dogs answered such basic questions as how fast to press where to press and how deep to press this information gave them the belief that they were ready for human trials the first person saved with this technique was recalled by Jude she was rather an obese female who went into cardiac arrest as a result of flora Thane anaesthetic this woman had no blood pressure no pulse and ordinarily we would have opened up her chest instead since we weren't in the operating room we applied external cardiac massage her blood pressure and pulse came back at once we didn't have to open her chest they went ahead and did the operation on her and she recovered completely 1960 the Three Investigators reported their findings on 20 cases of in hospital cardiac arrest in JAMA 14 of the 20 patients survived and were discharged from the hospital many of the patients were in cardiac arrest as a result of anesthesia three patients were documented to be in ventricular fibrillation the duration of chest compression varied from less than one minute to 65 minutes the JAMA article was very straightforward chest compression buys time until the external defibrillator arrives on the scene as the authors write in the article anyone anywhere can now initiate cardiac resuscitative procedures all that is needed is two hands however respiration received relatively little attention in the 1960 JAMA article many of the patients had been intubated and thus the need for mouth-to-mouth ventilation was not necessary it was not long however before this newly discovered technique was used in conjunction with the longer held techniques of artificial respiration the formal connection of chest compression with mouth-to-mouth ventilation to create CPR as it is practiced today occurred when safar Jude and cow when Haven presented their findings at the annual Maryland Medical Society meeting on September 16th 1960 in Ocean City in the opening remarks the moderator said our purpose today is to bring to you then this new idea it was so new that it was still without a name the moderator stated that the two techniques cannot be considered any longer as separate units but as parts of a whole and complete approach to resuscitation in his remarks safar stressed the importance of combining ventilation and circulation he presented convincing data that chest compression alone did not provide effective ventilation mouth-to-mouth respiration had to be part of the equation to promote CPR Jude Knickerbocker and safar began a world speaking tour in 1962 Gordon along with David Adams produced a 27 minute training film called the pulse of life the film was used in CPR classes and viewed by millions of students for the film Gordon and Adams devised the easy to remember mnemonic of a B and C standing for the sequence of steps in CPR airway breathing circulation however the order has been revised to see a B putting the emphasis on compressions first the reason being that oxygen reserves in the body have been found to be adequate to maintain oxygenation of the blood in 1963 cardiologist Leonard schürrle started the American Heart Association CPR committee and in the same year the Heart Association formally endorsed CPR in May 1966 the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences convened an ad-hoc conference on cardiopulmonary resuscitation the conference was the direct result of requests from the American national Red Cross and other agencies to establish standardized training and performance standards for CPR over 30 national organizations were represented at the conference recommendations from this conference were reported in JAMA in 1966 as early as the 1930s it was known that electric shocks even small shocks could induce ventricular fibrillation in dogs hearts and more powerful shocks could reverse the fibrillation this early research had been funded by the electric industry concerned about fatal accidents to lineman claude beck professor of surgery at Western Reserve University in Cleveland worked for years on a technique for defibrillation of the human heart Beck believed that electricity could equally benefit the surgery patient whose heart five related during surgery or induction of anesthesia Beck probably witnessed his first cardiac arrest during his internship in 1922 while on the surgery service at the Johns Hopkins Hospital during a urologic operation the anesthetist announced that the patient's heart had stopped to the amazement of Beck the surgical resident removed his gloves and went to a telephone in a corner of the room and called the fire department Beck remained in total bewilderment as the fire department Rescue Squad rushed into the operating room 15 minutes later and applied oxygen powered respirators to the patient's face the patient died but the episode left an indelible impression on him Beck would go on to develop techniques to take back the management of cardiac arrest from the fire department and place it in the hands of surgeons Beck realized that ventricular fibrillation often occurred in hearts that were basically sound and he coined the phrase hearts too good to die in 1947 Beck accomplished his first successful resuscitation of a 14 year old boy using open chest massage an internal defibrillation with alternating current the boy was being operated on for a severe congenital funnel chest in all other respects the boy was normal during the closure of the large incision in the chest the pulse suddenly stopped and the blood pressure fell to zero the boy was in cardiac arrest dr. Beck immediately reopened the chest and began manual heart massage as he looked at and felt the heart he realized that ventricular fibrillation was present massage was continued for 35 minutes at which time an electrocardiogram was taken that confirmed the presence of ventricular fibrillation another 10 minutes passed before the defibrillator was brought to the operating room the first shock using electrode paddles placed directly on the sides of the heart was unsuccessful Beck administered procainamide a medicine to stabilize the heart's rhythm Beck gave a second shock that wiped out the fibrillation in a very few seconds of feeble regular and fast contraction of the heart occurred the blood pressure rose from zero to 50 millimeters of mercury Beck noted that the heart beat remained regular and saw that the pressure slowly began to rise 20 minutes after the successful defibrillation the chest wound was closed by three hours the blood pressure rose to a normal level and the child awoken was able to answer questions the boy made a full recovery with no neurological damage Beck pioneered internal defibrillation of the heart in other words the chest had to be open and the defibrillator paddles placed directly on the heart it was groundbreaking work but soon to be eclipsed by devices that could externally defibrillate the heart through the closed chest for Paul's ol well aware of Beck's accomplishment the development of an external defibrillator was a natural extension of his earlier work with an external cardiac pacemaker in 1955 a 67 year old man survived several episodes of ventricular fibrillation thanks to zoals external defibrillator and went home from the hospital a month later over a period of four months Zoll had successfully stopped ventricular fibrillation eleven times in four different patients the energy required for defibrillation ranged from 240 to 720 Charles zoals findings were published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1956 the defibrillator designed by Zoll as well as earlier versions invented by cow when Haven and Bek utilized alternating current and were run from line voltage the electricity from any wall socket the decision to use alternating current rather than direct current was a practical one direct current batteries and capacitor technology both powerful enough to do the job and portable enough for practical use simply didn't exist in the early 1950s these AC defibrillators were very large and heavy primarily because they contained a transformer to step up the line voltage from 110 volts to 500 or 1000 volts the only good feature is that they could be mounted on wheels and pushed down the hallway from one part of the hospital to another not many lives would be saved unless the inherent non portability of AC defibrillators could be solved the portability problem was solved by bernard loan loan devised a defibrillator that utilized direct current instead of alternating current a series of animal experiments on dogs in 1960 and 1961 in clinical uses in patients in the early 1960s established that DC shocks were extremely effective in shocking the heart what's more it was clear that DC was actually safer than AC when applied through the chest wall with direct current it was possible to use power supplied by a battery to charge a capacitor over a few seconds the capacitor stored the energy until it was released in one massive jolt to the chest wall the availability of new small capacitors considerably reduced the size and weight of the device the defibrillator could now travel to the patient the National Highway Safety and Traffic Act of 1966 authorized the Department of Transportation to establish a national curriculum for pre-hospital personnel which led to the training of emergency medical technicians EMTs did much to upgrade the general performance of ambulance services throughout the United States there 80 our course and certification which included CPR ensured that proper care would be provided to victims of motor vehicle accidents and other emergencies thus they could provide artificial ventilation enclosed chest massage at the scene and n route to the hospital however EMTs were neither trained nor authorized to provide definitive care for cardiac arrest they could not provide defibrillation intravenous medications or advanced airway control such as endotracheal intubation EMTs saved few if any victims of sudden cardiac arrest largely because cardiac arrest occurred mostly in people's homes the time required for EMTs to arrive and transport the patient to the closest emergency department was too long for resuscitation to be successful not even letter-perfect CPR can save a life if it takes too long for defibrillation and other advanced procedures to occur in 1965 frank pant ridge turned his attention to this vexing problem of heart attacks and sudden cardiac death his sensitivity to the problem came from two sources first personnel in the emergency department of the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast frequently commented on the number of patients coming in dead on arrival second pant Ridge had recently read a telling study in a medical journal that indicated that among middle aged or younger men with acute myocardial infarction more than 60% died within one hour of the onset of symptoms thus the problem of death from acute MI had to be solved outside the hospital not in the emergency room or the coronary care unit the majority of deaths from coronary attacks were occurring he wrote outside the hospital and nothing whatever was being done about them it became very clear to me that a coronary care unit confined to the hospital would have a minimal impact on mortality he wanted his coronary care unit in the community and Raj solution was to develop the world's first mobile coronary care unit or M CCU he staffed it with an ambulance driver a physician and a nurse pant rich encountered numerous obstacles to the creation of the MCC you he dealt with them in his typical direct fashion with determination to succeed and transparent contempt for politicians and any authority figure who opposed him even his cardiology colleagues were skeptical mine on cardiological medical colleagues in the hospital were totally unconvinced and totally uncooperative pant Ridge said it was considered unorthodox if not illegal to send junior hospital personnel doctors and nurses outside the hospital pant Rich's new program began service on January 1st 1966 John Geddes was a resident in cardiology at the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast and worked on pant ridge service as junior member of the team it was Gettys responsibilities which he shared with four other residents on the service to ride on the newly christened ambulance when it was called into service why did this breakthrough in cardiac care occur in Belfast of all places Geddes thought he knew the answer I would say two reasons one was pant ridge himself he is a remarkable personality who is very persuasive he can persuade people to do things a and D actually make them enjoy doing things that he has made them do because they are successful so there was his tremendous enthusiasm behind the system then there was the fact that the layout of the hospital was flat and it was quick and easy to get to people and resuscitate them I didn't realize this at the time but I subsequently visited hospitals in various parts of England they had slow elevators and so on and you could never move around the hospital quickly with any kind of emergency apparatus the success in the hospital wards made them believe success in the community would be possible so it was the combination of a hospital's architectural layout in a physician's driving and persuasive personality that provided the impetus for this breakthrough but one cannot discount the resuscitation infrastructure already in place mouth-to-mouth ventilation chest compression and portable defibrillation without each of these three elements the belfast program would have been a waste of time and effort the team reported the initial results of their program in the August 5th 1967 issue of The Lancet their findings on 312 patients covered a 15 month period half the patients had mi and there were no deaths during transportation of groundbreaking importance was the information on ten patients who had cardiac arrest all had ventricular fibrillation six arrests occurred after the arrival of the MCC you and for occurred shortly before arrival of the ambulance all ten patients were resuscitated and admitted to the hospital five were subsequently discharged alive the article has historical importance because it served to stimulate pre-hospital emergency cardiac care programs throughout the world the Belfast system was established to reach patients with acute myocardial infarction the resuscitated patients were those whose hearts fibre elated after the ambulance was at the scene or an route the system reacted too slowly to resuscitate persons who five related before the call was placed in 1966 it was assumed that most cardiac deaths in the community were the result of acute myocardial infarction it was not appreciated that ventricular fibrillation can occur without myocardial infarction and have only seconds of warning or none at all the extensive international readership of The Lancet helps explain why Pantages idea spreads so rapidly to other countries within two years similar physician staffed MCC you programs began in Australia and Europe the first program in the United States was started in 1968 by William grace out of st vincent's hospital in Greenwich Village in New York City the program was a clone of the Belfast program and utilized specially equipped ambulances with physicians on board to provide advanced resuscitation care directly at the scene of cardiac emergencies calls for medical emergencies in which chest pain was a complaint were passed on from the police 911 operator to the hospital there an ambulance would fight New York traffic to arrive at the scene grace described the rather full ambulance and how it was sent the personnel includes an attending physician resident physician emergency room nurse ECG technician as well as a student nurse observer in addition to the driver and his assistant this team is summoned from various points in the hospital to the emergency room by a personal paging system which each member of the team carries this team has 4 and 1/2 minutes to get to the emergency room obtain their equipment and board the ambulance anyone who is not there within this time is left behind report of the st vincent's program grace described the experience with the first 161 patients only two instances occurred in which the physician did not make the for 1/2 minute deadline and the ambulance left without the physician the ambulance reached the scene usually within 14 minutes plus of course the for 1/2 minute pre response time one call took 25 minutes owing to heavy traffic among the first group of patients seen by the MCC you were three patients treated for ventricular fibrillation one of the three survived grace took this concept imported from overseas and made it work in his community physicians with defibrillators rushing through the city to reach a nun breathing unconscious person whose heart had stopped were quite unusual by 1968 standards however the program was limited in vision and although it could work in some communities it was not nationally applicable an evolution in pre-hospital emergency care was needed the evolution from physician staffed mobile intensive care units to paramedic staffed units in the United States occurred independently and almost simultaneously in several communities to communities that led the way were Miami and Seattle but others included Portland Oregon Los Angeles and Columbus Ohio these communities were a major evolutional advance compared to the belfast or new york city programs not only were paramedics used instead of physicians but from their inception the programs were established to deal with the problem of sudden cardiac arrest Pantages program was established primarily to reach the victim of mi fest and thereby prevent mortality in the vulnerable early stage of this event thus cardiac arrest was successfully treated only if it occurred as a complication of MI and only if the ambulance was already at the scene or an route the new paramedic programs were far more nimble than physician based programs and were specifically designed not only to treat the early stages of MI but also to attempt resuscitation for sudden cardiac arrest wherever and whenever it occurred reversal of death itself would be a major purpose and goal of the new paramedic programs eugene nigel became aware of Pantages work in 1967 he believed that the physician staffed model of pre-hospital care was not going to work for the United States in general or for Miami in particular physicians were too expensive to sit around fire stations waiting for calls and if they had to be picked up in hospitals it would take too long to arrive at the scene when Nigel or his colleague James Hirshman wrote on the ambulance themselves they could of course defibrillate and provide medications but they could not be present on all shifts Nigel became convinced it was time to move away from a program using physicians to one staffed by paramedics natural moved incrementally he did not think he could initially sell the idea of paramedics working alone even if they had authorization to perform medical procedures signed by physicians so instead his first step was to establish a radio link in telemetry between the paramedic firefighters in the hospital Nagle's had a hidden agenda in promoting telemetry for Nigel that gained him access through the legal impediments stopping firefighters from defibrillating patients and administering medications Nigel reasoned that if the fire department could send the ECG signal to the hospital via telemetry then the firefighters could be authorized by the physician to administer needed drugs and procedures before arriving in the emergency department he believed a paramedic at the scene was a legal extension of a physician he recalled later we saw telemetry as the key to extending our treatment to outside the hospital where hitherto trying to legislate it was the Dark Side of the Moon in those days the telemetry looked like it might be the Open Sesame to doing some treatment pre-hospital natural hope to find support from the medical community instead he only encountered discouragement natural recalled this opposition it was a rare doctor that favored us doing any of this stuff very rare we had incidents in the street when we were just sending an ECG we're doctors on the scene would tell the firemen to quit fooling around and haul the victim in natural recalled the first save of the Miami paramedic program the collapse occurred near Station one on the fringe of downtown Miami he reminisced there was a guy named Dan Jones who was then about 60 years old who was a wino who lived in a fleabag in the bad part of town Jones was well known to rescue in June of 69 they got a call man down it was Jones they put the paddles on him he was in VF started CPR zapped him he came back to sinus rhythm brought him into ER and three days later he was out and walking around in gratitude about a week later he came down to station one which he had never done before and he said he would like to talk to the man who saved his life they told me they had never seen Dan Jones in a clean shirt and sober both of which he was that day he would periodically come to the firehouse and just say hello and he seemed to be sober in my talks in those days I said this was the new cure for alcoholism that was our first true save pant routes article also energized Leonard Cobb in Seattle he knew the Seattle Fire Department was already involved in first-aid and therefore approached the fire chief Gorden Vickery to propose a new training program to treat cardiac arrest the fire department already had one of the United States first computerized systems for documenting first-aid runs Cobb realized that this system could provide scientific documentation for the efficacy of pantera suggestions and suggested to Vickery that they pool their knowledge and resources Cobb and his colleagues then provided instruction and training in cardiac emergencies including cardiac arrest two volunteer firefighters the program became operational in March 1970 nine months after nagels first save in Miami the mobile unit was stationed outside the Harborview hospital emergency department as Cobb himself points out the mobile unit was not the real innovation rather it was the concept of a tiered response to medical emergencies the idea was that we would get someone out there quickly via the fire department's already existing mobile first-aid units and then a secondary response would come from the mobile intensive coronary care unit the beauty of the tiered response system was the efficient use of fire department personnel which allowed aid personnel to reach the scene quickly to start CPR then a few minutes later the paramedics arrived to provide more definitive care such as defibrillation in this way the brain could be kept alive until the electric shock converted the heart to a normal rhythm after stabilization the paramedics would transport the patient to the hospital the Seattle paramedic program did more than pioneer paramedics and promote the tiered response system it was the first program in the world to make citizens part of the emergency system Cobb knew from data the program had collected that the sooner CPR was started the better the chances of survival he reasoned that the best way to ensure early initiation of CPR was to train the bystanders thus Cobb with the support of Vickery began a program in 1972 called medic - it's goal was to train over 100,000 people in Seattle how to do CPR Cobb recalled how the idea was first proposed one day Vickery said look if it's so important to get CPR started quickly and if firemen come around to do it it can't be that complicated that other folks couldn't also learn firemen are not created by God to do CPR you could train the public Bob said that sounds like a very good idea decided to use an abbreviated course of training we weren't going to do it by traditional ways where they had to come for 20 hours so they had to do it at one sitting how long will people participate well maybe three hours and that's pretty much the way it was Cobb cautiously did not state how long it would take to train 100,000 people he had no idea in fact it took only a few years and by the 20th anniversary of the citizen training program over half a million people in Seattle and the surrounding suburbs had received training in CPR some people were skeptical about mass citizen training in CPR indeed many felt the potential for harm was too great to allow such a procedure in the hands of lay persons the skeptics also had the support of national medical organizations the alarmist voices were stilled by some fortunate saves Cobb recalled one resuscitation soon after the citizen training program began in March 1973 there were these kids playing golf at Jackson Park they came across a victim a quarter of a mile from the clubhouse the man was unconscious and not breathing later it was confirmed that he was in ventricular fibrillation but these kids had taken the course over at the local high school two or three of them started doing CPR and the other kid ran off and phoned the fire department shortly they came with the aid car and medic one screaming over the fairways Cobb concluded they got him started up again he survived he's alive today that was a very convincing story I didn't mind it being written up in The Reader's Digest by the early 1970s CPR defibrillation and a rapid means to provide pre-hospital care were all in place the structure to resuscitate sudden death victims had been built and was proving successful that most of the world did not have this structure in place in the 1970s was largely due to lack of diffusion and spread of the ideas rather than the impossibility of carrying them out however the story of resuscitation does not stop in the early 1970s major advances have continued in 1980 the first program to Train EMTs to perform defibrillation began in King County Washington and similar programs spread throughout the United States this training required 10 hours and in the first demonstration project survival from ventricular fibrillation increased from 7% to 26% in 1984 the first program with firefighter EMTs using automated external defibrillators also began in King County Washington the use of AEDs simplified the training of EMTs and thus allowed the procedure to spread more rapidly throughout communities automated external defibrillators require considerably less training time compared to manual defibrillators since the EMT does not have to interpret the cardiac rhythm the idea for an automated defibrillator was first conceived by dr. arch diag a surgeon in Portland Oregon his prototype literally assembled in a basement utilized a unique defibrillator II pathway tongue to chest there was a breath detector that was a safeguard to prevent shocking breathing persons the electrode was essentially a rate counter far cruder than today's sophisticated VF detectors the production model weighed 35 pounds and gave verbal instructions it was an idea ahead of its time most people viewed it as a curiosity by the late 1980s however other manufacturers entered the field leading to the automated external defibrillators we have today current AEDs like regular defibrillators use electrode pads attached to the chest Aedes are programmed to guide the operator through the procedure the Pats once attached automatically detect the type of heart rhythm and if VF is present the AED instructs the operator to press a button to shock the patient from EMT defibrillation with Aedes there was a natural and logical progression to first responder defibrillation next widespread public access defibrillation and finally home AED including the opportunity to purchase Aedes over-the-counter without a prescription in 1981 a program to provide telephone instructions in CPR began in King County Washington this program used the emergency dispatchers to give instant directions while the fire department EMT personnel were an route to the scene this demonstration project increased the rate of bystander provided CPR by 50% dispatcher assisted CPR is now standard care for dispatcher centers throughout the United States and in other countries such as Israel Great Britain Sweden and Norway the American Heart Association uses a metaphor of four links in a chain to describe the elements of successful resuscitation these links are early access early CPR early defibrillation and early advanced care the early paramedic programs were all designed to provide CPR defibrillation and advanced care quickly enough to resuscitate patients in cardiac arrest CPR has continued to advance with recent developments including an emphasis on constant rapid heart stimulation without respiration studies have shown that people who had rapid constant hence only chest compression 22% more likely to survive than those receiving conventional CPR that included breathing what's more because people tend to be reluctant to do mouth-to-mouth chest only CPR nearly doubles the chances of survival overall by increasing the odds of receiving CPR in the first place quotes from James Jude Leonard Cobb Eugene Nigel Frank pant rich and John Geddes are from

2oCCPJ9WWW4 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oCCPJ9WWW4 | What Happens If You Follow NPCS? - Daily Routines? - Cyberpunk 2077 - Jackie, Meredith & Dexter | why is jackie seriously that's weird so people have you ever wondered what happens if you follow certain npcs now we know before this game came out i mean it was pretty much confirmed by any cd prws or whatever that and pcs in this game over a thousand of them live by daily routines so if this is the case what happens if you follow them and that's what we're gonna find out today people now within this short instance at the start of the game there's actually a chance of following three npcs decks um meredith stout and jackie so where do they go if they're living by daily routines people they must go somewhere so if we get into this car here now with dex when we get out surely he's gotta go somewhere if i just follow him in the car he's gotta go somewhere has he not so we're gonna find that people we're gonna find that people and obviously i'm gonna skip all this conversation because this is heard this a million times before spamming the point it says skip ahead but nothing's happening what's going on here white life or blaze of glory okay so what can i say i need to really make a savior because i don't want to be going through all that again if i'm honest but i don't want to drive away so let me just you know i'll jump on his car i can't save you right now man jax dude talk to dicks ain't going nowhere boy okay he's driving he's driving away he's driving away people i'm going to want to check our pro can i not save it yet no what's up with maelstrom and miller tech please don't let me before i don't see yeah i don't have to follow him we're going to go somewhere people then dicks paid to take it off their heads that sums it up dex wants us talking a voice where oh yeah we just don't drive around in circles because that'd be pretty lame considering these npc's uh leave my daily routines surely he should be going to a club or evelyn in the afterlife is it where we see him so that's probably where we're going now i say we knock on maelstrom's door first i'm never paying attention to what i'm person to jackie butterfly in that case i'll hit the off boards to the okay just drive straight across the uh there's a kid there i don't know is he called is every crossing in america i don't know oh where we going i don't know why let me save it yeah just in case there we go there we go oh thanks just messaging me i just want to remind you that i'm on your bunny yeah now please don't keep me off yeah i'm actually going quite quick here so where are we going oh oh no no come back huh where's he going she's just stuck in there i would have stopped there though if i still on the bonnet let's load it back up i don't know if he would have i load this back up people because i don't know if because i got kicked off or oh we still only that's good that's good we're still down here picking up the speed again but he just pulled into that that spot so what was he gonna get out there or what okay okay then driving a ghost car i'm not i'm not reading any messages mate nothing i'm not even moving i'm not stepping forward it was down here weren't it just to the right he pulled in oh he's going faster okay so he just turned into this so i'm gonna get that mate i'm just gonna sit there give me this guy i'm gonna grab him give me this car get get the car [Music] um i don't think anything is happening so living by daily routines i don't think that's actually the case unless he's just gonna sit there no we'll skip time nope still yeah still yeah let's do it again still yeah so that's weird so i'm guessing it doesn't leave my daily routine so that's one down twos ago [Music] i'm gonna ram him actually let's see if he renders that if i drive into the distance get out my way boy if i drive into the distance let's see if he renders that and will render back in still there still there still there still there on pc they don't even do that do they bloody hell yeah it's definitely gonna do that now so i'm just gonna turn around go back go back go back oh my it's still there boom how i wonder if you can blow him up i don't think the car is going to take any damage at all though is it that way i know that's going to be that's going to be a different video i got to save and i can come back and try and kill him oh my god we gotta carry on with this we gotta carry on with this myth but it doesn't seem like npcs live by daily routines can i call him uh i'm trying to figure out what his name is now i can't remember i'm going to do it text is right there right there uh mr b there a problem oh mate i'm wondering he's talking his name has been hands-free because the return

4QOeXoy6XHE | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4QOeXoy6XHE | Troubled 19th Century, part 3 | social changes in europe and america are direct results of the industrial revolution as are many of the changes in the less developed world that we'll discuss in a later chapter so before we look at the rest of the world let's look a little bit more closely at industrialization the last 200 years really of human history is also the story of the industrial revolution and its effects the life of a peasant living in france or mexico or china or india or ethiopia in 1100 of the common era was not really that different from that of a similar peasant living in the same place 200 years earlier or 200 years later but because of technology industrialization and urbanization the world is considerably different today than it was 200 years ago in fact the change has accelerated we live much differently than our parents did when they were our age the acceleration of life is just one of the results of the unprecedented worldwide technological innovation and change in the last two centuries but even today there are five necessary inputs that are required for industrialization capital technology a source of energy the availability of labor and and finally consumers by the late 1700s great britain had all of these and it became the birthplace of the industrial revolution continental europe and then the united states soon followed but why great britain well capital wealth that can be invested to create more wealth was available to merchants and to others who benefited from world trade the british dominated the slave trade and the corresponding cultivation of sugar during the 18th century taking it over from the spanish and the portuguese and the people involved in this trade accumulated great wealth further the east india company was also a source of capital through their trade with south asia in tea and in textiles silk and cotton the company also was a model for a successful joint stock company in which individual investors bought shares which spread ownership and limited financial liability and this allowed for greater risk taking soon factories would be following the same joint stock corporation model in order to accumulate the capital they needed for investment new technologies also made mass production possible which first occurred in the british textile industry the spinning jenny and power looms increased the efficiency of spinning wool and cotton and then weaving the thread or yarn into cloth from this beginning inventors began seeing the possibilities of mechanical production in other areas such as processed foods clothing paper and household items even today countries usually begin on the path to industrialization through the textile and food processing industries agricultural improvements in the previous century and the introduction of new staple crops like the potato that had been imported from america's also like the potato that had been imported from the americas also produced more food using less labor improved nutrition allowed britain's population to grow and increased the number of people available to work in factories with a larger population involved in a wage economy producing goods for others and not for themselves great britain also created consumers for the textiles and foods and other products manufactured in these new factories soon british merchants were selling industrial products to continental europe and to an increasingly important market of consumers in britain's colonies the ability to sell manufactured goods to a captive colonial market added to the rush for overseas empires by these european powers and by the united states and japan in the 19th and early 20th centuries every nation wanted consumers for the products of the home country and wanted to lock up the valuable natural resources that were needed by the industries of the empire so a question for discussion what were great britain's main advantages that allowed it to dominate the early industrial revolution | Dan Allosso | UCLss69CwVykaHSbXAPOtbGA | 2021-02-18 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 647 | 3,953 |
7pzeNPT8vSc | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pzeNPT8vSc | Wallah! God Became Flesh! Shamsi, Sheikh Mohammed & Visitor | Speakers Corner | yeah jesus in the bible he said the word become flesh okay in the bible he said the word become flesh okay so maybe god god has flesh in the bible jesus said the god became flesh jesus said that yeah jesus never said that was that was john john was he john yeah okay the word became flesh so it's always next i will elaborate firstly the the john speak on behalf of god we have to establish that john receive the revelation from god because when you speak about god you cannot utilize your so god spoke to john no i never spoke to john i'm talking about john the right of the gospel the one who said in the beginning was the word and the word was with god and the word is god then the word became flesh yeah no the word became free that's what he said yeah after yeah afterwards god never spoke to you so what we say we say god has essence god has a death essence allah is the essence which has a possessed attribute no i don't believe that the word became flesh moses said god is one i believe that yes so he's one with life or he's one with heaven or is one with god because i think he's one with life one lord is alive he has flesh the word became flesh no no the one who has a perfect life his life there was no before before his life there was non-existence rather he had he's the first there's nothing before him he had total power in the beginning total power and we believe god is ever living has no beginning to end he has a perfect life but he has a perfect life but john hey my john said the word become flesh but perfect has sting in the tail what is reference point to perfect evil yes or [Music] if god is one with life i mean what became flesh yes i don't believe that word you keep repeating the same thing i don't believe it i don't believe that john said i don't believe john john cannot speak about god he has no author to speak about god john we don't even know do you know john's secret name the rapture no no that's not john's gospel john the one of john's gospel is not john the baptist he's a different john you know him no yes john yeah i know what's his second name i don't know you know what no it's not for you even the christian scholars don't know okay if you don't know him how can we know if he's trustworthy why are you gonna cut someone you don't know if god was in the beginning and he created the light he was alive yes of course i told you god has a little bit of life maybe yes the world has flesh no no you're talking about that hopefully have a nice day take care of yourself because i have to go there's a friend of mine i've been looking [Music] of jesus or jesus god the holy spirit oh my god yeah who's your god describe him people should go the world became flesh i have to go like have a nice time i need to do some coffee as well have a nice day do you have a question okay okay stand here please talk again okay what's your question what million give me one i don't have time for your million i don't have time for the million i have one how is god how is god manifest how is god manifest how is god manifest the way that befits his majesty in glory through through moses teaching moses okay and god is one [Music] what do you think in astrophysics necessarily we don't know astrophysics i don't know what's astrophysics i don't need to know absolutely i know god is one and god is unique i'm glad that he does things that befits his majesty and glory and god is above this universe that's all what i know and i know that god as well is not mixed with his creation that's something which we believe he's not mixed one yeah he's separate he's above his creation that's all we don't know nothing about this we don't know nothing more than that and that's all these physics and all of these things it doesn't apply to him yeah that's all it doesn't apply it applies in this universe we can't say god we can't you could think anything would think you know we could think the tree is a monkey so who cares what you think no i'm saying you might think that this three is a monkey no i'm saying you think this it doesn't matter what you think it matters what's the reality that we we can't say that the physics applies to him we don't say these things we don't say this thing we say god god that exists that god as well is unique god has has faced that befits his majesty and glory god has hands that defeats his imagination that's all god created civilization god yes god created all the creation the heavens and earth and the civilization and everything yes but in context of course [Music] no [Music] was he before he became flesh was he living according to you he was he living so the same thing you see you answered yourself so we don't believe he became flesh he doesn't need to have flesh to become that's what you think not necessarily because he said something if he if he if he is not if he didn't become flesh he doesn't live i will say to you before he became flesh i did that to get to this but please yeah so he before he became flesh he was alive [Music] for you we don't believe god born we say god god is always there and he has no beginnings not an end he is the first nothing before him and he has lost nothing after him no god god is born house is a very big problem before he was before what happened so that if he has a starting point according to you that means he's dependent something to start i missed now he's he is about heaven [Music] so you are the one and everyone else they are part of god's word by the way did you see did they see someone before you came you need to see someone actually maybe someone yeah my country no not your country you need somebody i need you to see a psychiatrist or something i suffered psychiatry 20 years seriously yeah that's why that's why you come with this conclusion i wish you you're good you're good here and you get one soon i wish you all happiness and i wish you guys well because it seems god is one with life this is why he loves life so much because he's one with life he's not one with heaven he's one with life and because he's one with life he deserves to be happy that's what he loves okay so if he's one and he's with life why does he need the flesh because in jehovah is too much god is a reasonable amount of pain for a human being you see all of these things if there's a reasonable amount of pain if you think we're happy here and there is a god doing this much pain it's delusion i can argue you need psychiatry yeah okay and one and all and all believers the same thing the call for a child was comfortable with me when i was small i make a mistake to god so someone who made mistakes to kill him actually listen to me i think you just missed the point all right yeah god doesn't have a starting point for you to know why not it doesn't have that because of jesus god doesn't you're correct i'm not i'm not talking about jehovah god is the greatest god is the greatest soul he doesn't need to have if god is the greatest one that's why i wish you all the best and i i wish you you'll get well soon and i wish you you are you know all the best okay | Dawah2Soul |

schedule and with that i welcome lori brinkman to the dare to dream show it is so great to have you thank you debbie it's so great to be doing this with you i so appreciate it yeah i i'm excited and knowing you were coming on the show i have to say there's a couple of memories that popped for me and most of my memories were around oh my life looks like this because of avatar and i mean that in a very positive way so for people who have heard the word and heard about the course but haven't investigated or maybe they haven't heard it all let's start there what exactly is avatar good question okay so avatar is an experiential self-development course that teaches people a set of tools for unlocking their greatest potential students on the course learn how to create and discreet beliefs so that their life turns out the way they want it to their the tools that they learn are actually like a combination harry says a combination that unlocks the secrets that are contained in their own consciousness so a student can once unlock they can get in there and change and rearrange the contents any way they'd like these are the contents that are responsible for your happiness your sadness your successes your failures all of it it's pre-programmed by the contents of your mind so a student can actually student of avatar can actually restructure their consciousness according to what they'd like to experience next we call it the art of living deliberately some people call it a belief management technology some people call it a spiritual journey but whatever you call it there's always like an awakening that happens and a positive impact not only on the person who's taking the course but also on the people around the person taking the course and on the collective consciousness that we're all a part of i know that it was an in-person course but we're living in very interesting times so how is star's edge which runs the avatar and the other courses how are they managing the folks who are worldwide because this is definitely a global community absolutely actually since the pandemic it's even been easier to reach everyone because we do it just like you're doing it right now we do it on zoom now we discovered a way to offer the course on zoom worldwide sometimes with students on opposite sides of the planet in the same zoom room and it has all of the care and personal attention that you would receive if we were together physically but we're together virtually and we do the exact same course that we've always done in person same amount of time same amount number of hours we're just face to face like you and i are here so are you saying that you can gather because i know some of the courses were really large can you gather i understand the zoom capacity but what i'm saying is how to teach online you can get 50 100 or more folks going at the same time or do you break it up no we have everybody comes together at the beginning of the course online and we may have several pages on zoom you know 50 people per page but then we break up into small one-on-one or even smaller little small groups in the breakout rooms and so some of the courses done in the big setting some of it's done in a breakout room with maybe five or ten people together and then some of it's done in smaller breakout rooms where there's one-on-one a master and a student working very personally very connectedly just as if we were sitting across each other in a room but you know we'll have people from israel and people from south america and people from japan and all over europe and all over the united states all in that same nine day block of time on that same same course that's really extraordinary yeah yeah it's amazing how we can adapt with technology it's actually this great assist during these times and i'm curious because i know that harry palmer created these first self-development programs in 1986 so the program's really been around sustainably consistently for a very long time how did he create the course what happened to him pre-1986 that brought about the enlightenment of avatar well i didn't know harry before 1986 but what i what i've read and what i've heard is that harry has always been an educator he was involved with uh with exceptional children um wanting to create programs for kids in the new york city system i believe it was and he was always an explorer of consciousness so he's looking for ways give people tools that would help them in their lives and through his own enlightened experiences you realize that all of the answers that everybody's looking for are actually contained in their own consciousness we just need a way to access them so as he started to work with people back then back in 86 87 when he first developed avatar he started working with people and he was counseling people and he developed a technique and that became the basis really for the avatar training and the technique was a way to for a person to explore their own consciousness and so over the years the course developed so that we could many many people could do the same thing that harry was doing with individuals he taught people like myself and i know you've also been through the training how to actually deliver avatar we say deliver instead of teach it how to deliver avatar in a pure fashion so that people can have the enlightenment that they're looking for and so here we are all these years later what is the mission i don't know if the mission has changed over the years but what would you say today is the mission of avatar it's it has not changed it's been the same since it began the mission of avatar in the world is to catalyze the integration of belief systems when we perceive that the only difference between us is our beliefs and that beliefs can be created or discreated with ease the right and wrong game will wind down a co-create game will unfold and world peace will ensue yeah we need this now more than ever we're at such a crucial time on the planet yeah i really appreciate that mission so much i have a quote from harry palmer which is the avatar course was designed to honor the uncharted way people are attracted to it by an intuitive knowing rather than driven by need avatar teaches the use of proven navigational tools that can be used in harmony with your own integrity to pass safely across the uncharted turbulence of the mind into the region of the soul avatar is to know thy self powerful i love that i also want to show you this this is the book that um the very first book that harry wrote called living deliberately and in it you know you asked how he developed avatar in it he said that chance favored a prepared mind so that's how he experiences the information coming in and then going back out for all of us and you can read all about how we developed the course in the first few chapters of this book it's a fascinating read for anyone who likes to explore consciousness [Music] how about you i don't think i have ever heard your journey and i would be really curious how did you come to avatar i assume you first got there as a student before you this 30-year journey you've been on but what were you like before laurie inquiring minds want to know and what happened that caused you to join and stay yeah um well let me first say that i have an amazing life i am married to a wonderful man who is my soul mate as you said and he's perfect for me he's also an avatar and master and trainer and i love that we live in our dream home a mile from the beach we are both doing what we love for to make a living and i feel like i'm fulfilling my life purpose but that was not always the case 30 years ago before i heard about avatar i was in a painfully confused place i had a lot of questions about who i was and what i was supposed to be doing with my life and really how to make it all work i had been married um divorced and then remarried and i was afraid that my second marriage was going in the same direction and i didn't know why and i didn't know what to do about it so when my husband came home one day he said i'm gonna go away for a week to vermont to take a course called the avatar course i didn't even know what that was but i just crossed my fingers and i hope that this was an answer and a very interesting thing happened when he came home i felt different the best way i can describe it is like there was this space around him in which i could just be myself i had never felt that before i had always felt like i was walking on eggshells and that feeling was gone it was amazing and wonderful and startlingly palpable of course i wanted to know how did that happen and next thing i knew i was on the next avatar course and that was fast forward it's been 37 years now that we've been married which is truly an avatar miracle and the tools not only are saving my marriage every day that i continue to use them but they give me the ability to create my life deliberately i mean to really decide for myself what i want to believe and who i want to be and it's not based on any indoctrinated ideas from any other source and so anyway after six months of having done the avatar course i decided to get trained and licensed to teach it and i've been doing that ever since wow talk about longevity what are some of the tools i know you can't go deeply into them because someone really needs to take the course and i think architecturally how avatar is designed is genius you don't just get thrown in the deep water with a lot of information there is a really methodical way that you're brought in and given pieces that create this beautiful platform and then things are built from so my question is what for you personally are things that you've used for instance have you found the way to forgiveness using avatar tools or what kind of issues do you personally use the tools for well as i just revealed very tentatively yeah it was really all about relationship for me in the beginning i mean i really didn't know how to make it work and i didn't understand that the problem was me not him didn't understand that i could actually restructure you know the way i was thinking to have a different outcome so i in the beginning mostly use the avatar tools to recreate our relationship in the way in the way that i would like it to be um but richard also and i we were in a business together we were in a music company together when we first did avatar and we had a music studio in new york city and we were doing music for advertising it was it was a a very successful business and we decided let's use the avatar tools to increase our market share you know to get more music on the air to get more hits you know it was it was like like um you know really success driven and very very practical and we did that and we were very successful doing that so the relationship started to work and the business was doing really really great and that's really where i focused in the beginning but after we started delivering avatar and you know helping to awaken other people i became much more interested in service to others and how i could be you know how i could enter that arena without a lot of ego and without getting myself in the way of other people's processes you know without bringing my beliefs into their into their journey so my i've been using the tools really to help me to connect better with people to be more real to be more honest and to um clean up well you mentioned the forgiveness option that's one of harry's tools is how to clean up relationships where you feel like you've just done stuff that you don't feel good about and you know and or if you feel like the other the other side of it where you feel like something's been done to you and you don't you can't let it go i've used the tools a lot in that area too to clean the slate and take responsibility for you know things that have happened that just reminds me of an experience i had when i was very new to avatar and i at the time was also concurrently in a 12-step program which i'm not anymore but thank you to that piece of my life and i remember working with one of the avatar masters and we got to a point about cleaning up life and i'm like oh i'm in a 12-step program i mean i've made a lot of amends i'm pretty clean and she was like hmm you know we might want to she was working she was so diligent and patient with me because i didn't get it it took so long for me to get it and i will say again architecturally because of the way the program is laid out when i got to that piece and i can say now looking back ah thank god thank god like the energetic crap i had been carrying around and unaware of most of it until i really sat in some peace and could really mindfully look at my life and say hmm that's not a good situation that's unresolved and i am the common denominator in the party so there were a lot of people who heard from me um a lot of stuff i cleaned up and that so much grace so much peace so much mercy um that's beautiful well you know i i also want to say there's something very different about avatar than a lot of other programs that people may may have been exposed to or may have taken um what i've observed in in many programs and many courses is that you there the program itself has a lot of beliefs that you have to subscribe to or that you have to adopt in order to get the benefits of them for example like in this program we don't eat this kind of food or in this program you have to this is the color that you should wear or you know in this in this system this is how to market yourself to be successful or in in this practice the list goes on and on and for anyone who's been a workshop junkie like i was you know that there are a lot of rules um but what's different about avatar is that it doesn't have a set of rules or beliefs that you have to adopt in order for it to be successful so you're really exploring yourself um it's it's it's very refreshing because it's a course about beliefs but it's not a course that has a set of beliefs of its own it's a course about beliefs on how to believe but not what to believe yeah so i want to talk about that a little bit because earlier you also referred to this and you said this gives you some tools so that you can profoundly see where your beliefs are what they're creating and what how to discrete them and how you can create what you prefer so let's start with are we really creating is all a massive projection and we are the writer director and actor well if we aren't who is that to me it's a little that to me is a scarier proposition you know if we're not creating it oh my god then now we're entering the the matrix but really i think it really comes down to what do you believe about that because if you believe that you're just unlucky or that it's all random or that someone's out to get you or or that you're um it's your karma then that's what you'll experience and that will be your truth and if you and you would be able to point a lot of evidence in your life to prove that if you're looking through that idea but on the other hand if you have the idea that you're creating your life and that then that's what you'll experience as your truth and it really is your choice now you might be thinking well how do i know if it's really true you know how how i'm choosing to see it how do i know if that's the truth am i fooling myself but i don't know but what i do know is that if you believe certain things they tend to make you feel better and if you believe certain other things they tend to make you feel worse um i know if i believe certain things i can feel happy and if i believe something else i can be miserable and who's to say so just as an experiment just for this moment just feel the difference between holding the belief something bad is going to happen and then compare that feeling to the holding the belief everything always works out for me i mean both cases we're sitting right here in the present moment looking forward into the future with an expectation which reality do you want to create i really think it's up to us and that's really what the avatar course teaches you how to do how to create a belief with enough certainty that the experience actually arrives can you give an example is there a student story that you can share of a participant who made this i am a creator of my own life huge aha discovery and how they implemented this realization and changed their life um [Music] yes there are many stories i can think i'm just thinking about one one gal who wasn't that huge aha that you're that you're talking about but i'll give you an example of how a belief can really affect a person so this is a student i had a number of years ago she was working on her archaeology dissertation for her doctorate in grad school and she had been working on it for a very long time and she was trying to do her research but she had severe neck pain and it was impeding her ability to complete her work so on the second day of the avatar course she had the discovery she realized that she is having the belief and how to hide the belief for a long time that getting her doctor was going to be a long and painful process guess what with that realization with that belief it was turning out to be a long and painful process but with the realization the instant realization that oh my god that's the belief i've been holding that's the expectation i was having the neck pain disappeared and she was able to complete her research and get her doctorate in a very short period of time so it's like that's the enlightenment that can happen just in an instant hmm yeah the power of a belief i always see it as like an something that has tentacles that comes out and impacts all these different factions of your life there are belief fractals upon fractals and we may feel like it's this really unique independent belief but the truth is only i know because i've experienced this where i've just created something and it seems like it's germane to a particular situation and yet it appears everywhere this freedom and relief from living underneath that anymore so yeah let's talk about the power of beliefs and how can people who are listening get in touch with their own limiting beliefs well it's easy it's actually a lot easier than you might think um it's not it's it's really not a mystery um on the second day of the course we have an exercise it's called the transparent belief exercise and this is an exercise that helps a person make the connection between what they're experiencing in their life and the belief that they hold that's creating that experience and like you said some beliefs have like long roots and they kind of touch many areas of your life but if you can take just any limiting experience you're having you can work backwards and pretty much deduce what the belief is that's creating it because it's exactly what you're experiencing if you're experiencing unhappiness you can be pretty certain that you've got a belief there that you were going to be unhappy you're experiencing difficulty in relationships and i can speak from experience you can be pretty sure you have a belief like relationships are hard um having difficult time in your business getting it to work there might be a belief there like i'll never make it it's really it's really almost a mirror image but we don't get at it by by running it through your mind and trying to figure it out the processes in avatar are all in feel and when you put yourself into the process the answers just reveal themselves the answers are there it's interesting because this is not a course where you can rely on someone else telling you something it's not a course where you can rely on somebody else's answers no matter how entertaining or how wise their answers might be you have to find your own answers and the tools navigate you through your consciousness so that you can do that yeah that's the very thing i was thinking of as you were sharing that laurie is it sounds like tools for inner world navigation yeah there's not outer world telling you what it is which is great i mean everybody always says right all of us metaphysicians the answers are already within you but this sounds like it's a real experience of that the wisdom of what's not working what you prefer all of that is actually already there it's just about the tools to access that right yeah this is not a course where you can parrot someone else's philosophy or model someone else's behavior there's no charismatic leader at the front of the room who's motivating you with their their stories about how to be powerful and successful sorry if you're looking for that but this is not that um someone else is like answers like i said might be very interesting but they're not yours and the truth is the most precious secrets of life are your own answers no one can give you that and and making this journey like you call it a navigational journey through your consciousness making this journey and committing to it is one of the most important decisions a person will ever make you know you can you can follow other people's paths but then you end up living their life instead of yours so you're talking about consciousness is there a blueprint for that what kind of blueprint for consciousness is offered here well the blueprint isn't offered you you are the blueprint it's you say more yeah your your blueprint is like that's your map of consciousness is a collection of all the beliefs that you have the beliefs that you've you've decided to believe beliefs that were indoctrinated into you beliefs that are transparent to you or hidden from you it's like your tapestry this is the collection from i don't know when the beginning is whenever you believe the beginning is this is your collection of beliefs and as you go through the training your awareness increases and these beliefs this tapestry this blueprint comes you know comes to life you actually see it okay so folks are figuring out limiting beliefs they're looking at the blueprint of their consciousness and saying oh okay i can deduce like you said i can deduce if i'm having this experience probably at the basis of this is pretty much that belief that is generating this experience so what about people are saying you know i could really use some new beliefs that would be a great thing to have right about now how can avatar help them to even discover what a positive permanent new belief would be and then how to implement that well that's that's day five of the avatar course so on day five we have an exercise that's been called the most challenging exercise that you'll ever laugh your way through what is that it's well it's the it's the technique that harry palmer created for creating new beliefs how to install a belief as i said before with enough certainty that the experience actually shows up it's not affirmations it's not visualization it is a technique that's unique to avatar it is fun it is easy to learn and it works so i can't really tell you how to do it because you really that's the whole point of the course being about nine ten days long is you work your way up to organically learning how to do these techniques and when you arrive to day five it's just a natural thing to do okay i'll task you with people who are having you know this is an interesting one because it is so interesting right now i know somebody who's got a really interesting experience around time and time management and i sit back and watch it because i don't have that at all so i i definitely watch it as a creation a very solid one and then there are folks out there of money problems and then i'll throw this into the mix because of what's been going on with the lockdown and the variants and there are folks who may have health issues more prevalently i think there are folks who are really anxious and concerned about health issues so can you help them if they have this limiting belief that is really not assisting their experience in humanity well i mean that's really what the avatar course you know the totality of the course is for of course of course people can discover their limiting beliefs and they can discrete them um but even before learning how to discreet which is something that happens in day seven of the avatar course so we're getting a little further into it um you know just real some sometimes there's just a moment when you wake up and realize oh this is a belief that i have and just realizing that it can be enough to shift things it's like if you were wearing sunglasses all the time and everything looked orange and then one day you realized oh my god i'm wearing amber colored sunglasses oh and everything clears up not because you had to do anything but you just realized oh i've been looking through this filter this whole time let me give you an example there's some um this reminds me of a man who i met at a chamber of commerce event a number of years ago in san diego and he was he came by my table and he was intrigued about avatar but when i told him that it was a nine or ten day course he said uh well forget that i could never ever do that he said i haven't taken off more than a weekend from my business ever it wouldn't survive without me so this is you know to me this is a classic no time belief right and so i smiled and we chatted some more and then he just he said you know what i could probably do the weekend you know because that that much i could do i can i can bite off that much i can take off that much time so he came to do the first two days of the course which is called the resurfacing weekend and on the second day he had an epiphany and the epiphany was that he had been living with the uninspected um indoctrinated work ethic of his father and just with that awareness he's like oh gosh i i'm living with i'm living as my dad here so he decided to do the whole course he jumped in he did the whole course and did his business fall apart absolutely not he told me he wrote me about six months later and he said that his business had doubled in size in in in revenue he was able to hire more people to come work for him he was able to empower and train the people that were already working for him to bring in more business and he even sent one of his um commission based sales people to to the course and her apparently her income had been stagnant for about 24 months and he said after the course her income rose 173 percent compared to what it had been and even he said he sent his mother his father his brother his sister his sister-in-law and his wife all came to do the course and he wrote me a note just recently and he said you know this i continue to use the tools every day and it's still among if not the best thing i've ever done thank you so much so i would just say to anyone who's feeling like a limitation around money or time or anything just do what you can get started take a step just take a step and then the next step will reveal itself because he trusted and he and it did yeah i love that three days and now he's a lifetimer yeah yeah and really it was just like a a moment of popping out of that idea which had been so solid but beliefs are not solid you know they're their ideas and then you know that i like that story too because that's sometimes all it takes in life it's like he didn't believe right he still came with a lot of limiting beliefs but he was open enough to be able to say i'll try a weekend that's all i'll give you you got a weekend but because he showed up right then that you have to show up for the miracle to happen for the magic to take place absolutely and it really is like a step at a time one step reveals the next step reveals the next step before you know it your awareness is increasing and you're feeling more powerful and you you now can create your life [Music] i get the star's edge that's the name of the company i get their newsletters and they're wonderful because they've got wisdom usually this really wisdom that is really useful and so the latest one that came out from harry palmer and from star's edge in this simple newsletter with a great reminder fodder for thought it was entitled change your attitude change your life and the next words were deliberately create your attitude deliberately created attitudes are what make unprobable goals achievable so i love i know you're not harry you didn't write this you're not star's edge but still as someone who's also impacted as a person who delivers as well as lives their life by virtue of these tools what's your understanding of that because people may be wondering if i create my attitude aren't i creating over an attitude or over a feeling that's already there and may remain underlying how do we deliberately create an attitude and make unprobable goals achievable again this is the this is the purpose or the intention the expected result of the avatar course is how to restructure your consciousness so that the beliefs that you hold are the ones that you would like to be having and the ones that will lead to the experiences that you want to have and it's not a it's not a um it's not a one-step process so first you need to discover what it is that you're currently believing and then you need to decide what it is you'd like to believe and then you need to learn how to turn off the belief that was the limitation and then how to install the new belief so there's you know there's a few steps to it but you know just like i showed you before there's a very different feeling when you adopted belief like everything is going to work out for me versus something is going to go wrong so you have the ability just in this moment to adopt any of those attitudes but if you really want to clean up on your consciousness and be count-honorable in what you're creating then you've got to go through the process the process of owning what you do believe turning off what you don't want to believe and then replacing it with what you do want to believe these are all skills that are taught in the course so what can one person do one person how can they make a difference let me tell you a story this is one of my favorite stories about making a difference okay and some some of your listeners may have heard this story before some time ago a writer with a long and successful career built a magnificent home on the coast of oregon it was his ritual every morning to rise before the sun and climb the winding staircase to his studio overlooking the beach and there he would sit gazing out of a huge picture window silently drawing inspiration from the ever-changing wonder of the sunrise enriched by the beauty and the serenity he would begin to write and then one morning he woke as usual and climbed the staircase to start his quiet meditation the sun was just coming up and there was a soft haze that hung over the shore and as he gazed out of the window down at the beach he was transfixed by what appeared to be a mystical dance far in the distance sunny became completely fascinated as he tried to make out what it was he could think of nothing else he just had to know so he put on his coat and he went down the stairs down to the beach to get a closer look at his mystical dancer and as he got closer he saw that his dancer was in fact a young girl maybe 10 or 11 years old again and again she would bend down and pick up something from the sand and then throw it out into the into the what into the waves they got very close and you realize what she was doing one by one she was throwing starfish into the sea now the writer looked around and he saw that there were thousands of these starfish all along the shore that had been washed up by the beach and he approached the young girl and he said good morning and she quietly returned his greeting and then he said to her what are you doing and she pointed to the sunrise and she said the sun is coming up and the tide is going out and if i don't put these starfish in the water they'll die and in his wisdom the old man looked down at the girl and shook his head as she reached for another starfish young lady he said there are thousands of starfish and there's only one of you you can't possibly make a difference and with that she briefly looked into his eyes and bent over and picked up another starfish and flung it into the sea and as she passed him on her way back up the beach she stopped for just a moment and she looked at him and she said i made a difference to that one the best part of the story was the next morning as the sun was coming up there were two people on the beach throwing starfish into the scene the old man and the young girl together every belief that a person integrates and i truly believe this every belief that a person integrates makes a difference it makes a difference not just for that person but for the collective consciousness that we all share let me read you something that harry wrote in his book living deliberately about this it's one of my favorite passages [Music] the events that make up world reality result from a belief blueprint that is continuously redrawn from the vectoring sum of every belief held by every individual the collective reality is the average of all intention just as adding a single drop to the ocean causes microscopic changes in the volume the temperature and the currents every time an individual changes his or her belief the blueprint by which the collective reality unfolds changes even for the most isolated individual every moment of happiness every moment of sadness every kindness every critical thought adds its consequence to the blueprint for the events of the world tomorrow unfolds in accordance with the intention of your collective beliefs there will always be as much conflict and suffering in the world as there is ignorance in the intolerance of consciousness and humanity the mission of avatar in the world is to catalyze the integration of belief systems and when you perceive that the only difference between any of us is our beliefs and that beliefs can be created or discreted with ease the right and wrong game will wind down and world peace will ensue so that's why we do this work every integrated belief makes a difference deb i've lost your sound right you have an exercise that you so kindly offered to take us through and i think on the heels of listening to that really beautiful quote it would be perfect right now okay this is an exercise called the compassion exercise from the second day of the course and it's a way for us to put more compassion in the world it's very simple takes just a couple minutes and the intended result is that you will experience a personal sense of peace by doing it it's non-verbal so you just do it quietly in your own space and all you have to do is follow the five steps as i read them okay eyes closed open as you like okay all right and um you can do this silently or out loud as you like okay so select someone in your life that you would like to extend some compassion to step one with attention on the person repeat to yourself plus like me this person is seeking some happiness for his or her life just like me this person is seeking some happiness for his or her life the tension on the person repeat to yourself just like me this person is trying to avoid suffering in his or her life just like me this person is trying to avoid suffering in his or her life with attention on the person repeat to yourself just like me this person has known sadness loneliness and despair just like me this person is known sadness loneliness and despair with attention on the person repeat to yourself just like me this person is seeking to fulfill his or her needs just like me this person is seeking to fulfill his or her needs and with attention on the person repeat to yourself just like me this person is learning about life just like me this person is learning about life that's yeah send me an email and ask your um your listeners to just shoot me an email to avatar planet avatar.com and i will send you a digital copy as well as if you give me your mailing address i'll send you the actual avatar card exercise on this beautiful folded car that you can keep in your pocket and also if you mention the podcast i'll also send you a um a link to a talk that harry palmer gave that describes the avatar course in great detail and if you want it on cd don't don't delay because i have a couple copies of those i could send you that instead okay avatar planet avatar.com absolutely yeah beautiful and i think you already told them that my uh website is planet avatar.com yes yeah yeah um so what people don't know and this was a reflection knowing that you are coming on the show there wouldn't be a dare to dream podcast if it was not for harry palmer period mic drop it really is true because many years ago so this show's been around over 14 years and i did previous to 14 years ago i did what was then a little booklet and this one was about belief management and it was about goals specifically creating goals and you know boy did it look simple but i will say the effect it had on my life revolutionized everything i did that in earnest really sat down with that booklet and the first thing that was amazing to me for somebody who had been doing the course and had been creating i thought a lot the first thing that was so outstanding was oh my goodness i have so many dreams i have never made come true i never believed in myself or in the dreams and i sat down and just wrote a list whitewater rafting i want to go to costa rica i want to run a marathon i mean it seemed like crazy outlandish things but i let it rip and then this booklet taught us exactly how to create the goal one step at a time and i did i took on the first one and each step literally sat back and watched while the light started to come on and something started to create that i thought was unattainable and it became a thing for me like the year of saying yes to myself and my dreams where one after another i was traveling i was having adventures i not only completed one marathon the next year i was like let's take on a bigger dream and i you know wanted to take 30 minutes off of my time use the tools i took an hour off which if you know marathons it is almost physically impossible and yet it happened and the point is that i became so on fire about my life and the possibilities that i feel like i want to impart this to people in my way and i started this crazy radio show dare to dream right 14 years ago because here's how you can transform and here we are and i'm still doing it because this is the greatest place i could be every week and so you know with a heartfelt gratitude humble humble like thank you for being here and for anyone who derives from the show thank you to harry palmer and that exercise which i understand now i don't know that you could get these fabulous booklets that we used to get i believe that now these exercises are in the seven pillars of enlightenment is that correct to the other right one spiral bound notebook because there's seven mini courses in it and that was one of the seven yeah yeah just imagine like if that changed my life to take on all seven so you know i'm just saying that here we all are and um really it is to have had an experience like that that just opened me up so much it really was like the greatest year i could probably say that about every year but it was so great in the sense that i didn't realize how oppressed i had been how self-oppressed i had been to have all this stuff percolating in me and yet there was always a no no you know you can't how would you ever do that and then it became a well this is how and what i loved about it too it wasn't it literally laid out a a technique in the way that it was like absolutely doable and once i realized that i just implemented it over and over and over again yeah i think that that is so amazing because when you start when you know the technique and you know how to do it not only do you get what you want what you set out for but you get this amazing confidence and courage that that you can do anything because you did it you know you it's not some practitioner working on you or some guru doing something to you it's you doing it the tools are in your hands and you learn how you're unstoppable and that's a great i love hearing that story that's wonderful yeah wonderful i love living the story so much i am so grateful to be here and uh and it came at a great time because it was also during avatar where i had been a professional actress and singer and that's all i've known since i was that big and something else happened something else presented and i had no idea what to do with it but it was clear inside of me i was no longer to follow that path and it was a big year for me biggest getting cast in films and big theater and so forth and it it wasn't going on inside of me and i had to honor and surrender and so the timing of that dream creation when i was at such a crossroads it was really was grace you know it was yeah consent yeah yeah grace that's that's the experience that many of us have and how we found avatar by grace absolutely so what are you next year to dream this is dare to dream what are your future dreams and goals lori oh my goodness i i haven't been thinking about that so during the pandemic you know i've been home enjoying being home and enjoying my being close to the beach and enjoying my furry animals and showing just really relaxing with my husband here at home so it's been really it's been more of a reflective time at contemplative time than it has been a creating time for me um not sure that i'm quite ready to to set a new big goal i'm enjoying where i am right now and what do you want to say here at the end to the listeners well i want you to know that there is hope because this course does exist it's easy to step into as a matter of fact we're doing another one starting the end of october october 29th on zoom so if anyone is at all inspired by anything

and see if this path feels right to you thank you so much for coming on the show today this was fun thank you so much debbie i end today's show with this quote from tom kenyon and the name of the book the magdalen manuscript from the vantage point of illuminated consciousness we are all in various degrees of sleep we think we are awake but we are actually dreaming through the power of bodhisita literally buddha mind we awaken from the dream and see that we are creating our reactions to all that we survey this power to recognize life as a dream and to awaken from it is an inherent power of bodhicitta now it is important to understand that we all possess bodhicitta or buddha mind but some of us are more removed from our blissful and compassionate nature than others and this is precisely the reason for engaging in powerful practices to remove the obstacles to our essential natures subscribe to the dare to dream podcast so you can hear this weekly number one transformation conversation my guest next week is leslie mitchell clark hailing from canada and she's a truly gifted hypnotist and intuitive who shares unbelievable and real stories about past life regressions and extraterrestrial contact if you are enjoying this show and you love listening to the podcast and you'd like to see myself and the guest i highly recommend you do go to youtube.com slash debbie

mEthN7A94YA | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEthN7A94YA | PASTOR EA ADEBOYE - HIS RESURRECTION POWER [EUROCON 2022 DAY 2] | [Music] hey [Music] uh [Music] follow all right where shall we lift our hands to the most high god and bless his holy name let us worship the king of kings and lord of lords the ancient of days give him all glory give him all honor give him adoration bless his holy name worship him who reigns forever the one who lives forever thank you foreign [Music] foreign [Music] foreign thank you father in jesus mighty name we have worshipped now you have prayed for europe it is time to pray for yourself so you lift your voice to the almighty god loud and clear and say father if you are blessing two people here tonight please let me be one of them go ahead talk to the almighty girl if you are blessing only two people here tonight lord god almighty let me be one of them oh yes lord let me be one of them [Music] thank you my father thank you lord in jesus mighty name we have prayed [Applause] i know my [Music] i know i know [Music] i know [Music] i know [Music] i know i know i [Music] i know i know [Music] king of kings and lord of lords the ancient of this the one who is the one who was the one is to come the almighty the one whose name is wonderful cancer mighty god everlasting father praise of peace glory be to your holy name thank you for bringing us together tonight thank you because we know you are here and where you are miracles are bound to happen accept our worship in jesus name tonight father in the lives of each and every one of us please do something new [Applause] save souls tonight heal the sick tonight set the captives free tonight please daddy don't let any one of us live here empty-handed [Applause] i'm asking lord god almighty that through the power of your resurrection everyone here tonight will go back with at least a testimony [Applause] thank you almighty god in jesus mighty name we have prayed [Applause] amen unless someone shout hallelujah i i want you to wave to one or two people and prophesy to them i say god we bless you tonight and then you may please shout another hallelujah and put your hands together for this wonderful choir in luke chapter 5 from verse 1 to 7. the bible tells us that jesus wanted to preach to the people so he borrowed the boat of peter and when he got into the boat he sat down and the congregation stood up [Applause] so the bible way to minister is for the preacher to sit and the congregation to stand but by the authority vested in me by the lord jesus i allow you to sit [Applause] but i will be sitting too let someone shout hallelujah i'm delighted to be with you tonight i thank god for all those who have ministered before me i might not be here but i was following you in my prayer room and i thank you you've all done extremely well thank you very very much and the real reason why i'm sitting tonight is because i felt that number one this is the 10th anniversary of eurocon number two i don't know exactly god knows when next i will be able to attain your convention coronavirus has messed up a lot of plants there are several places in the world expecting their own convention and so i decided that rather than preach tonight we should have a bible study [Applause] so if i'm sitting down then we won't have to hurry i i won't i won't have to say where my leg was getting tired if a man says his legs are getting tired at the age of 80 you can't blame him so i decided i will sit down we will have a bible study but it will be a bible study you won't forget now because there are some of us here that i definitely am sure had never attended a euro con before people have never been at a festival of life or holy ghost service before i need to explain certain things so that will be able to flow together along the same wavelength the first thing is in a holy ghost service like this when god speaks he speaks in a certain manner different from any regular service he speaks to individuals no matter how great the crowd he focuses on individuals so you are likely to hear as we go along god could say there is someone here when he locates somebody who needs a particular administration but then at the end of the day you may discover that someone here may end up to be a hundred people you might think oh the man of god had made a mistake no that's the way god speaks for example he says i stand at the door and i knock if any man he has my voice he was talking to a whole congregation that he addresses himself to individuals for example i know for sure that there is someone here who will never whip again [Applause] where is that someone [Music] so he may be talking to [Music] a huge crowd but he will say there is someone here that's one number two the holy spirit flows like a river john chapter 7 from verse 37 to 39 the bible says on the last day of that great priest jesus christ stood and cried if any man tells let him come unto me and out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water and the bible explained it for that to us it was talking about the holy spirit the holy spirit flows like a river so if the only the river of the holy spirit is flowing in your direction and it is your turn to deep evocate the river and get out your water if at that time you dose off god mentioned your particular case and you hear somebody next to you say amen and you woke up and you turned to the fellow what did he say by then it would be too late the river would have flowed on so tell your neighbour don't dose be on the alert the next thing you need to know about today an holy ghost service like this is that without any doubt at all god is here sir how are you sure ah he says so he said we are two or three i gather together in my name i will be there now we are more than two or three so without any doubt god is here now i'll give you another reason why i'm sure he's here but now i'm sure you begin to understand why i said i will sit down so so don't worry this is a night never to be forgotten [Applause] when god was calling me into ministry and i was a bit scared i want her to know how am i going to survive you're calling me out of my lucrative job into the assignment of a pastor in a very very little church and we were very rich in those days what assurance are you giving me it gave me one assurance he said i'll give you only this wherever you go i will go with you so right now believe it or not right now the headquarters of god on earth is in the later lands is in this room now then if you read the book of episodes chapter 8 pharaoh was facing a big problem frogs all over frogs on his bed frogs in his bottles of soup bought everywhere then he sent for moses please talk to your god let him take these frogs away then i let you people go moses said fine when do you want me to talk to god you know what pharaoh said he said tomorrow tomorrow you want to spend another night with the frogs what's your own concern i'm the one dealing with frogs moses are fine then tomorrow keep company with the frogs that leads me to a very important question when do you want your miracle are you sure you don't want to wait tomorrow finally every fellow who got a miracle from god god is by faith god is not a talkative the bible says god has spoken once twice have i heard this the power belongs to god god does not have to repeat himself at all let there be light and there was light simple so when god repeats himself it is because what he's about to say is very important so when you hear him say very lit verily i say unto you he say hey pay attention when he speaks three times when he repeats himself three times it means the situation must be very serious if you read joshua chapter one read it from verse one to eight three times he said to joshua be strong and be of good courage when he said it at first he said it gently the second time be strong and of good courage and i was talking to a housewife who was about to become head of state and that fellow was trembling by the time he said it the thought time there was a hint of anger in his voice i said be strong and of a good courage have i not commanded you but you know that four times god repeated himself four times what was it he said four times the just shall live by faith four times habakkuk chapter 2 verse 4. romans chapter 1 verse 17 galatians chapter 3 verse 11 hebrews chapter 10 verse 38 the just shall live by what how many of you believe that you will not live here without your miracle tonight be unto you according to your faith [Applause] all right now i think i've prepared the ground tonight we want to speak on his resurrection power the text will be revelation chapter 1 verse 18 revelation 1 verse 18 jesus is speaking and he said i am he that liveth and was dead and behold i'm alive forevermore amen and have the keys of hell and of death i am he that liveth and was dead and behold i'm alive for evermore amen and have the keys of hell and of death let's do a little bit of introduction when we talk about his we all know immediately we are talking about jesus christ when we talk about power i'm coming back to resurrection and we talk about power we talk about that which enables you to do very difficult things easily i mean opening blind eyes is not an easy thing even the best of our soldiers who tell you if you are already totally blind for you to be brought back to seeing is going to require some very special and delicate operations so if you have the power to wave your hand and blind eyes open that's power if you wave your hands a chunk of cheese that people lift up and they take the handkerchief and go and tie it around the neck of a muslim woman [Laughter] and she got converted that's power until you have a rough idea the resurrection which is a big word here is to bring someone who had died back to life see you jesus said here i live i died and my life again that's what resurrection means bringing the one who had died back to life that power that can bring the dead back to life belongs to one person alone to jesus christ the one who himself said in john chapter 20 john chapter 11 verse 25 to 26 john 11 25-26 he said i am the resurrection and the life the power belongs to the one the only one who had conquered death the one who took the keys from that person who had the power of death hebrews chapter 2 verse 14. and as we read in the text we read he has the keys of hell and of death he decides who dies and who lives so resurrection is talking about bringing somebody from death to life now another definition that we want to come to our mind quickly is what is life it will amaze you that if you ask your neighbour what is life he's not going to be able to tell you why check what is life life is living what is living where living is life [Laughter] when we were in the elementary school they told us that somebody something is alive if it can move when we grow they tell us that trees don't move but they could be alive oh there are words like that that you think you know that you you really don't know many of them i don't want to waste your time even though we are doing a bible study when we have words like that particularly in advanced mathematics don't be afraid i'm not going to teach math we define such words by the opposites life is the opposite of death because death is easy to define what is that ah that's simple the earth is permanent separation from people places and things on like holy days of vacation when you go on vacation you are separated from your people you are separated from your house you are separated from your bed temporarily that's vacation death permanent separation from people places and things so what is life life is the opposite of death and therefore it is reconnection [Music] to people places and things that you have been separated from so resurrection therefore is nothing other than reconnection so i'm going to look at this topic patiently thoroughly by looking at resurrection from various angles of life physical material mental spiritual et cetera don't worry i won't take too long i'm a mathematician i can say a lot quickly when we talk about resurrection for someone who is sick we are saying you are healthy sickness came the devil came stole your health resurrection means you are connected to your healthy form romans chapter 8 verse 11. romans 8 verse 11 says if the spirit that raised jesus from the dead do as in you the same thing we quicken you know the word quickly means make a life the spirit that dressing you will quicken your mother bodies bring your bodies back to normal in mark chapter 3 for example mark chapter 3 from verse 1 to 5 mark 31-5 jesus came into the temple saw someone with a weed at hand you know the meaning of we died it means it wasn't like that when it was born i mean when the fellow was born the hand was normal but something happened and the hand began to shrink became lifeless weeded then the one who has the power of resurrection said to him stretch forth your hand and as he was stretching for the hand the hand became normal again so i'm starting by using the authority vested in me to say to those of you who have any part of your body that is already disabled receive your health again in mark chapter 8 to give you another example mark chapter 8 from verse 22 to 25 mark 8 22-25 the bible said they brought a man to jesus he was blind jesus took him aside sparred on his side face and touched his eyes and said what can you see the man looked up and said i see man like trees what does that tell you he used to see he has seen trees before he saw i saw men walking like trees he who recognized trees when he before he went blind and then jesus touched him the second time and you could never see clearly he was seen he became blind the one who has the power of resurrection said okay see again that's good news for those of you who have eye problems because before you leave here tonight you'll be seeing clearly again [Applause] in john chapter 5 from verse 2 to 9 john 5 from verse 29 the bible tells us of the pool of bethesda a lot of people gathered together waiting for a ninja to come stir the water so the first value to jump in will be healed the bible says the one who has the power of resurrection the lord jesus came visiting and he saw a man there who had been there for 38 years that man was not born sick he went to that poolside because he had been he became so sick doctors could not help him so he went to look for a miraculous solution when the one who had the power to make the seahorse arrived all he had to do is speak a word and the man was instantly healed i thank god for doctors the wonderful people what will the world be like without them but most of the time they give you injections the gift fruits are blessed tutor bless three times a day for one week injection in the morning afternoon evening and then you get to say that they said there's nothing more we can do but there is someone who can heal instantly and he's here right now are you ready to receive your healing lift your hand to him and say i receive mine and you get it tonight in jesus name [Applause] i always give the testimony of a man very wealthy man who for one reason or the other suddenly became paralyzed from waste downwards and they took him from nigeria to the best hospital in london and he was there for months and one day the head surgeon came to me with a very long pain and he said chief because he was a chief backward i said yes watch me he was watching and he drove the pain through his tie all the way through he has achieved can you feel it pain the chief said no professor said your legs are dead that's not anybody can do for you go home stop wasting your money here so they took him home when he got home there was a little girl living in the same house he went to the old man i said sir if only you can get to redemption camp that's where i live and my father-in-law prays for you you will walk again you know how little girls can get you in trouble so they brought the old man he took six hefty men to carry him from the car into the house because he was a big man heavily built i read to him romans 8 verse 11 chief he's here right now [Applause] anyone ready for a miracle of healing receive it in jesus name [Applause] all right let's move to your finances i know that we try some of us protection power as far as your finances are concerned we're talking about those who used to be rich and then became poor and then through the resurrection power become reconnected to wealth a good example you will find in job chapter 1 from verse one to three job one from verse one two three the bible described for us joe as the wealthiest man in the whole of the east it was so wealthy the old continent of this new him as he reaches then the devil came and you know the bible says in john chapter 10 verse 10 john 10 verse 10 he said the thief comment not but for to steal and to kill and to destroy but and thank god for god i am calm that you may have life and have it more abundantly he lost everything according to job chapter 1 from verse 6 to 21 job 1 from verse 6 to 21 he himself said with his mouth now i am naked to be naked there's nothing left the day the resurrection power worked on him and by the time you read job chapter 42 from verse 10 to 13 job 42 from verse 10 to 13. the bible said he became twice as rich as he used to be somebody said the devil is a fool because if the devil knew what was coming he would have left his smile alone and he became reconnected to wealth for the rest of his life because the bible says in job chapter 42 from verse 16 to 17 joe 42 16-17 that he lived for another 140 years and never knew poverty again the next prayer i'm about to pray is for those of you who know what it is to be really poor some of you don't need to say amen but for those of you who want the resurrection power of god to church your finances it shall happen tonight [Applause] [Music] i've shared the testimony some of you have had it before but some of you i knew of a man it was very wealthy i mean he had i think 14 cars i mean if you have 14 cars you can be a woman then he had a quarry with his wife and the wife happened to be connected to the devil in a very special way and so the wife said to him he said by the time i finish with you you will be trekking you won't have a vehicle left and the man laughed what kind of joke is this how can a man with 14 cars ever track and business was going on fine but to cut a long story short everything began to go wrong until he had only one car left and he had so we call it five euros left he was hungry the fuel in the car was running low so we had to decide if i spend this five euro to each then the flair would dry out i would trek like my wife prophesied if i spend these five euro on fuel what will i eat that was when he was compelled to come to jesus christ and the resurrection power of god touched his finances the day he was sharing this testimony it was dedicating two mansions at the same time i decree in the name of the one who has the power of resurrection your finances shall come back to life [Applause] they let us talk about something called hope it's a good thing to have hope i mean for example in genesis chapter 12 verse 1-4 thank you lord i know god loves europe a lot the first word that is coming tonight is coming to someone there's someone here the lord says you need to fly to catch up with your colleagues in other words they are so far ahead of you ordinary means won't get you to catch up but the lord asked me to tell you don't worry i will give you wings [Applause] in genesis chapter 12 from verse 1 to 4. god promised abraham he was 75 years old or thereabouts i'm going to make you the father of many nations get out of your father's house etc amen i believe god so he got out but one year after another after another the wife didn't become pregnant no child then came genesis chapter 15 from verse 1 to 6 genesis 15 1-6 and god said abraham yes look at the stars can you kindly know ah so shall your seed be amen why is he believed he was he hoping but years followed upon years by time we go to genesis 17 from verse 1 to 18 genesis 17 from verse 1 to 18 when god kept on saying hey you have many children where your wife will be the mother of nation the bible says he laughed until he fell on his face you know what he was saying god stopped this joking he has lost hope just let his smile live i have managed somehow to get another child forget thank you very much but let's stop this joking but something happened the one who has the power of resurrection paid him a visit and when you read genesis chapter 18 from verse 1 to 14 genesis 18 from verse 1 to 14 when he the almighty god and god asked him where's your wife and he said oh behind the chain and god said within the next one here you have a child it was sarah that love this time not abraham in a miraculous way his hope was already restored the resurrection power of god has brought this man out of absolute despair he was ready now to believe god for anything the bible says it in roman chapter 4 you can read it from verse 16 to 22 romans 4 from verse 16 to 22 he says abraham [Music] against hope believed in hope when everything looked hopeless he still hoped why the path of resurrection has brought his hope back i will give you an example of somebody that you can call completely a hopeless situation it has to do with one of my daughters and i hope somebody who is already hopeless is listening tonight because that power of resurrection is going to renew your hope she'd be married for years she was barren and then somehow someone told her stop wasting your time you have no womb automatically if somebody says you have no room that's the end you begin to hope for a child when you have no one but she came to a meeting like this and god spoke to me and said there is someone there that there's no way humanly speaking that she could have a child but god says she's going to have a set of twins [Music] and she happens to be a believer she believed and as soon as the word of god has gone forth you know the bible says he sends his word and he heals them beloved those of you are in europe i know you are highly educated so you listen a lot of things out but you can reason out god your brain is not good enough to do it forgive me i'm just being very polite pleasantly polite i have discovered from my own little experience the best of us the most brilliant of us cannot reason out to god it works in mysterious ways and the reason we get to so many miracles in africa is because we've reached a stage where we don't even bother to reason it out if he says he's going to do it amen [Applause] because like i've explained to my colleagues who you know i used to be an academician when you hear a man say i have phd mathematics but somebody likes me do you look at him oh this man knows mathematics it is deceiving you how much mathematics does he know if he's among fellow mathematicians they will ask him you are phd mathematics he said yeah ah good what aspect of mathematics pure or applied and he says applied mathematics that's me okay what aspect of applied mathematics and i say fluid mechanics okay what aspect of food mechanics two-dimensional motion okay what aspect of two-dimensional motion what particular aspect of this little bit that you say you know and you say where navier stoke equation ah what he got phd on beloved it will take a thousand years for somebody to study the mathematics that is known and you want to compete with god who knows all mathematics all physics all chemistry or biology this girl heard that there is someone here that human speech cannot have a child because she's going to have a set of choice she believed and she became pregnant went to her doctor the doctor said i don't know what's happening but there seemed to be a child here the guy said no not a child god said twins and the doctor the very specialist man sir if people the fact that i see something moving here i'm not even too sure she came back about three months later it looks as if there are two here the day came for her to deliver and because the husband was wealthy so this husband said to the doctors please we don't want any of that too will be enough but we don't want to take any risks we don't want a case of saying while she was in labor something went wrong please operate just bring out these truths and then you can seal the womb so they put her to sleep she woke up and everybody was looking at her as if she fell from the stairs he said what's wrong with you where are my twins they said your twins are okay and there was a problem they said you wait for the professor the professor came professor was a problem the professor said after i took out the two trains i was searching for the womb this is the first time in 34 years of operations that have brought out a set of dreams from somebody who has no womb now let's speak enough just to let you know why people like me behave as if i'm a child in the hand of god because that's what we all are that's almost 20 years ago then some months ago i got a letter from her i've not seen her for quite a while i mean by the grace of god the church has grown daddy i want to bring my dreams to you oh good earthnuts windows beautiful ones for a long time and then she came and she was carrying two new toys [Applause] now over 60 years old there's no nothing called menstruation of any type and the god who did it the first time decided to do it the second time now you tell me what science can explain that there is a god who is above science there's a god which above medicine that god is here today have they told you that there's no hope for you the power of resurrection will restore your hope [Music] [Applause] now let us consider something called joy you know joy is different from happiness happiness is something that you have when something happens joy is something you have whether anything happens or not joy is a very interesting something when we talk about resurrection as far as joy is concerned we're talking about someone who used to know joy who for one reason are the other lost joy and then the power of resurrection restored the joy in luke chapter 7 from verse 11 to 15 luke 7 from verse 11 to 15 a bible tells us about a woman who had only one son and the one son died thank you lord the lord said there's someone here he said those who said there's no way you can make it we soon come and celebrate your achievement [Applause] so this woman was going to bury our own listen she knew joy before she was full of joy today she got married she was full of joy the day the son was born but now she had known sorrow the husband had died and the devil a very bad devil saw people with many children and went to the house of the fellow who had only one and killed that boy as they were going to the very ground the woman was going deeper and deeper in sorrow because she knew that very soon she would return home alone she knew that some of those who said they was advertising with that were already asking questions among themselves are you the only one in town why is your own problem so bad she was deep in soul but jesus met her on the way laid the hand on this coffin and said to the young first of all he told the woman weeping out and the woman will be wondering what do you mean whip or not if if i don't we will should we a toddy boy come back stop causing this woman's soul you can't imagine i wasn't there but when that boy got up jumped out of the coffee and the woman instead of continuing to the graveyard began to go back home i know she knew joy have you lost your joy you are getting me back [Applause] let tonight give you another example along the area of joy oh thank you daddy daddy asked me to tell someone and i want to say amen to this before i tell you [Applause] because sometimes he says something so beautiful there's nothing wrong in loving yourself first before loving your neighbor almighty god says there's someone here tonight he said i'm going to give your entire life a total overhaul yes that's an overhaul for your body and overhaul for your soul and overhaul for your business and your entire life a total overhaul let's talk about this issue of joy from another angle let's take david david knew joy me was a shepherd boy even as a shepherd boy was already singing psalms and then when nobody would consider him for promotion god compelled them to go and bring him out you know the story for summery chapter 16 from verse 1-13 when they were not going to present him god said we will not sit down until you bring this book so they brought him and he was anointed king he became king among his brethren he soon became king over judah and then he became king over israel nobody needs to tell you that david was joyous the day he cut off the head of goliath and then he sinned you know the story second summer chapter 11 they committed that horrible saying committed adultery with the wife of one of his soldiers pretended that the woman was pregnant tried to make it look as if it was my husband the husband poor fellow refused to go home and sleep he made him drunk the fellow refused to okay go we won't go in we'll get rid of him he hurrying for the husband to be killed and then pretended to be a very good king so he brought the woman to the house and told everybody you see how i look after my soldiers the time battery is bringing in their wife so i can take care and then god confronted him placed a curse on him and he knew sorrow i mean sorrow he cried unto god you quench psalm 51 when you get at home you can see i am crying to god respond to me the joy of thy salvation and got hard and god responded this baby that he got through adultery that one died the next baby was solomon the bible sent a prophet to go and name the boy god has forgiven me he knew joy again and then he wrote psalm 34 from verse one to three i will bless the lord at all times his prayer shall continually be in my mouth oh magnify the lord with me let us place his name together there's hardly any joy like the joy of a backslider who is restored to god if you have never backslidden i pray you will never backslide if right back slide down you are here tonight you can reconnect with god and your joy will be revived when i got born again i was a little child in the lord i went to a meeting gathering of children of god we were singing choruses most of which i didn't know because i was new but in order that they would know i wasn't thinking i kept on making a joyful noise and then all of a sudden the singing stopped i see by a command from heaven and then one man began to prophesy the whole seated the lord and he began to talk the man who took me there announced him when did god say that he says be quiet god is talking i said i'm not hearing anything [Laughter] every one of you here tonight you have never heard from god you will begin to hear from him [Applause] it wasn't long after that that god began to speak to me and he would tell me several things when i'm going to church he would tell me who preached what text he would use before i got to the church it was wonderful then i said when i joined the church i was the most educated person in the church and so they made me the interpreter for the [Music] founder the big man they will speak in our native language i will interpret and because i was interpreting for the big one the other pastors left me alone i was i was reserved for the big man then one day one of the pastors i don't know what got into him came to me and asked me to come and just preach for him i was angry i didn't show it i thought what's wrong with you don't you know i am the big interpreter if he knew what was going on in me as i was interpreting you would have said please go and sit down let me get somebody else which i interpreted i finished as soon as we finished i saw where i was on my way to my car god spoke okay so you are now too big to interpret for my pastor oh the bible says god receives the proud and from the moment he said that he cut me off it is better never to have heard from god than never to hear from him again i prayed i wept i oh lord please just reconnect me and if i'm going to offend you again tomorrow kill me today because i dare say that he finally began to speak again so if you if you see that as we go along he is saying something and you are not hearing any don't worry i will repeat whatever it says to you but if you have lost your joy there is a power that can restore that joy and that's why i said at the beginning and i believe very firmly there's someone here tonight who will never whip again if you are the ones amen loud and clear now let's now move to something else and after that maybe i will begin to random see bible study but it shouldn't be too long there's something called destiny what is destiny as a plan that god has for your life before you were born jeremiah chapter 1 from verse 4-5 jeremiah 1 five oh thank you lord the lord said that the fellow concerned we understand he asked me to tell you pharaoh will leave your family alone i i don't understand but it's a defensive concern we understand pharaoh will leave your family alone [Music] in jeremiah chapter one [Laughter] from verse 4 to 5 god said in his word concerning jeremiah before i formed thee i knew thee while you were seeing your mother's womb i had already set to our side for a purpose that's what is called destiny nobody came into this world by accident god has a purpose for your life and according to jeremiah 29 verse 11 jeremiah 29 verse 11 he's a good purpose he said i know the thought i think towards you thoughts of good not of evil that you may have an expected and expected end that's where god wants you to end and it's a good one occasionally someone might derail from his or her destiny i give you just one example we do in luke chapter 5 from verse 1 to 11 luke 5 from verse 1 to 11. you know the story but peter fishing all night catching nothing the lord came into his boat he got so much fish he abandoned everything and followed jesus because jesus told him you will be fisher of men as your destiny not to be looking after fish you have to be fishing for souls and if you follow the story of peter you see it was going steadily in that direction when the lord said who do men say that i am and they were given openness of names titles and he said okay what about you people he said i know you you are the son of god and the lord said okay we are living to true to your destiny because this revelation is not from flesh and blood you are hearing from god then came matthew 26 from verse 69 to 75 matthew 26 from barcelona to 75 when he denied the lord jesus christ three times so i don't know him no don't get me into trouble never known him at all even cursed but then in deep soul he went out and wept bitterly and then the lord rose from the dead resurrection came and when he rose from the dead he shall go and tell my disciples and peter also let him know i'm alive let them meet me anyway up there to them as a tracer and then he disappeared again peter looked at himself and said wait a minute this is your fishing for me it doesn't look as if it's going to come to pass so he told the people around he said at least i know one job i go fishing john chapter 21 you can read it from verse 1 to 17. thank you lord allah says there's someone here he said you are believing me for a boundary of joy he said i will give you two [Applause] [Music] and so came john 21 read it from verse 1 to 17. peter said me i go back to my fishing the restaurant resurrected christ went and met him there because again he fished caught nothing and then the lord performed a miracle he caught so much and after they were eating the lord said you denied military times right yeah let me give you an opportunity to confirm your love three times you love me more than this peter do you love me teacher do you love and then he told him feed my lamb feed my sheep your destiny is restored [Music] [Applause] yeah so shall it be i'll give you my own example to illustrate this way back in 1951 i was very young there i'm so young i'm only 80. and i used to say those who are younger than i are young if you are older than i you are old so those who are young let me hear you shout hallelujah [Applause] uh wait a minute i think you people told me i have plenty of time they are telling me you know the time is no longer that well it's not my fault at least you already blessed in 1951 before they drive us out i was a small boy and an as a bishop from the aglican church came to visit our village and we all lined up small boys school bus to welcome him and i saw him in his beautiful room and his beautiful car hey ah when i got home i told my mother i said when i grew up i would be a bishop but as i grew i forgot everything about the church but god found me out he saved my soul and today i might not be a bishop but i'm not too far from being there he restored my destiny i know there are some people here today your destiny might not be where it should be but if you come and surrender your life to jesus christ he will reconnect through the power of his resurrection so if you want to give your life to jesus you have to really hurry up now before they drive us out come and stand before us so we'll pray for your salvation i'm going to count from 1 to 10 before i say 10 you have to be here then we will pray for your salvation and the almighty god will do the rest by himself so if you want to give your life to jesus come very quickly i'm counting now one to hurry your body of audio you have to really move fast three four if you are coming from the overflow you have to really really hurry up five six i want to prophesy that the next time we have a european convention it will be in our own building so nobody will be able to drive us out seven audio audio audio h nine all right keep coming keep coming just make sure you get here before i finish praying now those of you are in front talk to the almighty god ask him to have mercy on you ask him to save your soul promise him that from now on you will serve him and the rest of us please let's intercede for these people for just one minute pray that the one who saved your soul will save their own souls also and if you are sick of me you have to hurry up now you have to really really hurry up now thank you father hurry up hurry up ariel if you're on the way thank you jesus in jesus mighty name we have prayed my father my god i want to thank you i want to thank you for your word and i want to thank you for these people who have come to surrender their life to you please receive them forgive them let your blood wash away their sins admit them into the family of god and give them a brand new beginning and from now on anytime they cry unto you answer them by fire and let your resurrection power continue to work for them in jesus mighty name we have prayed now i want to rejoice with those of you who have come forward tonight and i want to promise you as a man of god that from now i'll be praying for you so i will need your names your address and your prayer request the cancer loss will be attending to you in a moment but i want you to be part of the prayer about to pray now so that you can take that final blessing every one of us are you ready for your miracle stand on your feet you don't have much time we probably have five minutes left now but within the five minutes i want you to cry to the almighty god loud and clear i said father let your resurrection power walk upon me now

to god in jesus mighty name we have prayed father in the name that's above every other name the name at which your knees must bow and commit all your children to your hands when you want to perform a miracle you do it suddenly within the next seconds every miracle this your children need give unto them [Applause] you won't have time now lord to lay hands but you the almighty god lay your hands on them let your resurrection power move them out of death into life every good thing that the devil has killed or destroyed in their lives bring it back to life and from this day onward lord the power

8qk8aRM3Px0 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qk8aRM3Px0 | Life as a Syndicated Strip Cartoonist with Jonathan Lemon | good morning everybody um welcome to another morning's live stream here to promote my kickstarter for where's itsy bitsy spider uh search and fine book about a teeny little spider uh he goes travelling all over england and uh comes to san francisco uh and uh we have to find it see bit cece and his ten fairytale friends in every scene um a little sort of scene here and uh today to help talk about uh comics and cartooning is uh my good friend mr jonathan lemon uh well he's there i think he's a little frozen up right now hopefully he'll join us and uh try turning it off and on again jonathan uh and uh also here's dale sippery and chris porro uh i guess i'm gonna look at the theme tune and hopefully lemon will be with us when we're now i'm back going up this water spout y'all yup y'all hope it don't rain itsy bitsy spider climbed up the water spout down came the rain and washed the spider out out came the sun and dried up all the rain so the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout [Music] hope it don't again down came the rain and washed the spider out out came the sun and dried up all the rain so the itsy bitsy spider climbed up the spout again [Music] uh crashed in spectacular fashion okay um i see jonathan back he's back again you just have to let him in he's back again hello technology huh yes uh i don't know i'm using chrome on my i uh on my imac but i'm told if you're on mobile safari on iphone and chrome on android otherwise cycle it's looped it started looping yes as you can make sure i understand a little harder than the the finding the spider on the front page right with the cover uh yeah yeah he's very big on the front page but inside he's very tiny uh let's see hilarious if he wasn't if he was that guy's all the way up to you but yeah he also appears at the top of every page so for example on this page he's in there in the middle somewhere don't show people where the spider is they won't buy the book spoiler alert i i feel like there's no spiders you find the spider too easy there's the princess and the p and you have to find the p on every page so that's the really hard that's for the people who want to find something really hard not to mention the endless sheep all right so join mr jonathan levin you're drinking your yerba mate there right now you're drinking it properly i do drink yoga master little bit out of a tea cup i don't have a proper gourd for it yeah i have i have several hundreds so next time you're over you can you can borrow one along with my okay well i'll start i'll come back i've already got your hair clippers which i put to good use sweet yeah basically i just go out all right all the things that's how it works a regular cartoon is going to borrow off the syndicated cartoonists we get i get all lemons it's a good system all right so yes lemons achieve the pinnacle of cartooning um achievement there you are drawing you're slaving away during two strips every day is that correct yes yes and those two strips are uh ali which is a syndicated legacy strip that's been around since uh what year was ali started 1933 it was first indicated and it lasted about three months and then the syndicate went bankrupt won it brown and then it was picked up again and it's been running ever since so it's the sixth longest running comic strip that's currently running yes well that's amazing isn't it i don't know what are your ideas i i i wouldn't think of a time travelling caveman or you would think that's a good idea and then you're like okay you've already did it so you have a lot of you can go through all of time in history and you're working with the wonderful writer yes the wonderful joey allison says um oakland native she's absolutely wonderful um and um yes so that's that's good because uh i don't know if i could write and draw two strips a day yes and so yes and then you already tried to draw one and then draw because the writing takes an amazing amount of time you wouldn't think so but it's um certainly for me it's pretty concealing i can knock out an actual drawing of the strip in 20 minutes half an hour but the actual writing part takes much much longer than you'd think yes i'm sure i'm sure you spent a lot of time on writing so your own strip is rabbits against magic um and so you write and draw that one so yeah so how long does writing a strip typically take you i'm sure it varies from day to day but um um i like to think that you don't sit down and write that never works so they just they're floating ideas are floating around and you kind of just grab them when you when you when they just occur to you and i think you you have to train your brain to constantly process so that means you never fully relax and you're always like just in back of your mind even if you're not thinking about comics you're processing everything like you could be finding an idea yeah so do you keep i mean you have a mobile phone i mean is that do you record ideas on that or do you have a notebook that you carry around at all times by your bed when you wake up at three in the morning with an idea or something the the phone has has definitely taken over the note the note taking um yeah riding notes at four or five in the morning although that's often when the best ideas come i found that when you when you're half asleep by either going to sleep or just waking up your brain is is going in these strange directions and you you you can think of things and they're not always the best idea in the cold light of day but that's definitely where your mind wanders best but yeah i used to carry all sorts of little notebooks around i used to i used to have this very nice little hardback one which was maybe about this big it was like you know just like your classic black sketchbook and it was perfect because it would always fit in your top pocket and you could pull it out and open the you know the heart except hardback as well it's very nice and thick paper so you could almost do watercolors on it and i'd write very very small so they would last a long time but i'm not sure if i i hate the talking into the air or talking to your phone thing i'm i'm very poor at that and even texting i'll i'll still text even like i know i know how to do it i you know in my way sorry i'll do it but i i hate the uh i hate i feel stupid i i'm i'm too old to be one of these people that's comfortable you know walking along the street just talking to myself or or doing crazy air gestures and stuff like that yes i don't mind yeah i can't if there's anyone around if i'm on my own and i'll do it quite happily but if someone can hear me in the other room [Music] i just whispered in just get really close yeah well it does work pretty well right now yeah i had a friend who worked at uh sri the stanford research institute which is where siri gets its name and you know he's uh he's always been on at me to use it more i don't know but i think i used apple's speakable items back in the mid 1990s and that wasn't very successful so i just you know been a bit reluctant reluctant siri but i guess it's better now all right so what can we talk about i mean you won't look crazy talking to yourself you'll just be writing on your phone yeah right yeah and that's better than that's better than using a notebook and a pencil because it's an excuse to spend money was very helpful former apple genius art supply expert and numerous other skills a computer west or so yeah he'll look he'll tell us all about he asked the technical questions excellent uh give us the technical details so okay we'll do like i'll ask a dale like question so what do you use to create your cartoons where how do you work on uh on a mac with the cintiq tablet that's what i use you're asking dale or me uh well you yes you you travel yes okay and that's my facebook page what i want to talk about right now is phases but we'll move on we'll talk about my process um yes i i am a i guess a fairly recent convert to to digital um and that was almost certainly because the constraints of having to produce so many comic strips in such a short space of time unbelievably faster to do it digitally um not necessarily because you have you know levels of undo and you don't have to scan but i i found that the biggest time saving part of this is is doing pencils because um i refuse to copy and paste artwork and reuse it i've never done that i think that's cheating and i hate it when you see it it's too perfect and you know um there's a lot of strips i like that do do it but um they it it just it wrangles me just it feels like cheating but to to be able to do that with pencils and just to move or enlarge or or and then and then ink over the top and move around or reuse is is unbelievably time consuming time time saving so um and prior to that i was very much you know an old-school um you know i used i used the bristol board i had that i i used i was a brush man not a pen man but i had all my brushes and um and you know i was you know experimenting with all these inks i did the thing where you leave the top of the ink overnight to make it look slightly thicker and all this stuff had all my favorite stuff um but now you know i look at that stuff now and you know it's nice to have the the piece of paper with the arse on but i i had i've got bins and bins and bins of um these plastic bins that's where it smells my i'm losing my frame plastic bins full of you know just these um let's see what we got here my filing system on the floor down here this this is you know that's two daily strips here on a bit of face from you know a few years ago um you know i guess you can you can sell these um which you can't do with digital and you know you can smell them and use them as exfoliants and stuff like that but they have very little purpose and they do use up a lot of space i i'm always tempted to go to a gymnasium or something and and spread out my 4 000 sheets of rabbits against magic um just to like have myself in the middle and have have a drone take a picture you know as it's yeah moving down and that's just that's a cool idea what the full scale of you know like 15 years worth of rabbits against magic strips yes all digital so yes i have the cintiq and um ridiculous expensive it's it's good though um i i got mine two and a half years ago um i've got through three pens already um oh you've got you got through the whole pencil not just the nib you know you can just replace the nail yes no the depends for some reason i had a deflective pen and then i had a they sent a replacement and then the replacement was defective again and the third one's lasted two years but yeah and i i i tried the felt tip endings you know the little felt things yes and then went back to the the hard plastic i don't know why i prefer the plastic yeah yeah me too me too i use that yes yes well yes it's a very useful piece of kit um all right well uh well if dale's got any more technical questions what software do you use photoshop or clip studio paint or illustrator or yes to all of those no they um i draw in photoshop color in in clip studio for mother manga studio and and that's because i mean i mean all of you guys know um that coloring in um in in photoshop is the worst i have no idea why that fill bucket in clip studio where you can just keep it held down and sort of drag it around and it fills everything up that's a huge time saver too because i do a lot of i don't i'm not one of these very clean cartoonists that just everything joins up and and i have a lot of scratchy bits that you can just kind of move the bucket over and fill everything in you don't like the vector layers for inking in clip studio paint you prefer inking in photoshop yes um i have my my favorite brushes in photoshop maybe if i explored more so you are in photoshop now i am what sorry inking in photoshop yes yes okay yeah all right i don't know if this is similar but you know what i tell people because i'm i'm more of an audio person there's a whole bunch of packages it just uh depends on what you which package you get um efficient with so there's probably 20 different audio packages you can work with and whatever you personally get efficient with is probably the thing you should stick with and you can get efficient at all of them so it's uh it kind of comes down to that and the reason that i haven't switched packages for so long is because uh i'm really fast at in the package that i'm in it's not that the other packages are bad so i and i i am not like a uh i do not work visually the way you guys do i used to be a graphic designer with uh with chuck but i don't have the i don't do it on a daily basis um so i i always use photoshop but imagine there's a bunch of packages well what i wanted to say was if you have the latest version of clip studio paint if you've been upgrading uh it will import photoshop brushes if you want to try that right the one thing i notice it doesn't import um the text layers without making them into a raster so oh yeah clip studio paints terrible for text okay that's good to know well yeah this is very interesting yes i don't know i haven't really tried clip studio paint but uh yeah the coloring might be helpful to be honest yeah i don't know yeah i used to be drawing my search scenes very carefully sort of closing as many shapes as possible to make but lately i don't want to do that so much so yeah the coloring then gets commercially harder so um yes and lemon you're uh you're uh a neighbor of uh chris is more or less you guys live in the same area in san francisco and like he's uh he's near procedure park and you're just at the other side it's there i think you're somewhere far away well i mean i don't know why i thought that because your video froze i was like you're in england or something um yeah i'm i'm right off the cedar park you're actually all kind of locked in two blocks away this is fascinating for everybody else but yeah yeah well um i don't know well you're also a parent you know christian's parent we're parents here raising kids uh how yeah how does your kid take you to having a dad as a cartoonist my son's always sort of spectacularly uninterested in the subject yes um yes i am the proud owner of a small human child um he's he's ten so he's still i you know it's because it's i think it's always been normal to him that that's what dad does he stays he stays downstairs and uh and draws all day so in his head that's a great job to have and i can't tell him enough how it's important to get a job where you meet people and get out the house a bit yeah um yes yeah you haven't been told that you're selfish because you don't have a job that makes more money well i don't know because he was always asking me if he always asked me are we rich are we rich and i you know you have to give that very crazy answer that i think my parents gave me as well we're not rich we're not poor but we have enough and the secret is to um live within your means that's what i was telling live within your means and you'll always be rich this road to happiness and 20 pounds and spend 21 it's the road to misery or something like that i can't i'm not quoting it very well but yes somebody put a number on that you know a number on like this is where you have to be in america for your needs to be met and after this number it's diminishing returns uh and certainly at the top of the scale they're very diminished but i do not know what that number is it's uh it's probably gone up a bit like about 10 years ago they were saying it's about sort of 70 or 80 000 pounds in america that's where your happiness will not increase anymore your happiness will increase with money up to about well whatever let's say a hundred thousand income in the us and then after that it won't go up anymore you'll just find more problems you know your happiness needs for money at mass more money more problems all right so what what happens if you get to 100 000 and you're not happy that's got to be depressing let's say you're working on me you just need to spend it better you spend your way to happiness yes art supplies and comic books yeah that's all right that sounds pretty good [Laughter] i like it uh what about guitars can can we throw those in there too like audio gear yeah why not okay what about we should read it play any music lemon are you a musician at all i have my my for many years and um was in bands that was my that was my first job out of our college but um yeah i'm long since over the uh the need for that kind of self-endorsement from adelaide in crowds could you tell us about your education as an artist and how you ended up being a syndicated uh cartoonist yes thank you for asking um sensible questions why am here like i think many people in england around the time i was um born and grew up in the 70s 60s and 70s um there were there were a lot of comics around and i was born in a town called watford which is oddly enough where all the comics were printed at adam's press and um oh yes well that was pretty impressive in watford yes yes there's a lot yeah it's famous for beer and printing presses yes so that's comics and beer some some odd reason and and also where they make star wars movie in pinewood studios oh yes of course yes that's around that area yes and um the harry potter experience now there how is it okay all right is that a theme park holly [Music] it's where they built the studios for harry potter and they just left them up and charged people to go there now and there's like a train that goes from london you know the hogwarts express talking of of uh i don't even know about this because i i've had to read all the books with my kid well that was he made me make that sound like that was a difficult thing uh are you not a fan i'm beginning to realize i'm not a fan of fantasy and the reason is because it's all it's all based on medieval values and i think it's it's the only way these days the same way people like pirates because it's the only way you can really like have acceptable dressing up as disabled people you know like you have the eye patch of having these medieval values like kings and and slaves and and all these things and killing well unless we're talking about star wars well i would say star wars with science fiction well it's still medieval yes you could debate souls of science fiction fantasies it's not really science fiction because there's not like everything works by magic really in star wars there's no sort of there's no technology technology aspect to it you know the technology is sort of the force and that's very magical so i don't know it's more based in myth than mythology i mean we've talked about this and joseph campbell and the heroes journey as opposed to something like dude which is sort of a little bit of both but june is still sort of you know the technology is very magical also star trek but there's still more sort of positing something that might happen where star wars is definitely starting off saying long time ago and far away you know like a fairy tale and yeah okay well i have some thoughts on this too because i do like fantasy i like you know dungeons and dragons all the all these sort of things um you know yes and you're exactly right it allows you to sort of you know deal with these sort of more primitive things i think as humans like hopefully we're trying to leave behind we're not being very successful at it but you know we don't really experience a lot of these things in everyday life now and you know i think there is a sort of childish impulse you know there's the you know the childish sort of wild animal person is still somewhere in there and it sort of lets you sort of explore and experience that in different ways i mean yes i suppose you know it is definitely escapist you're not sort of dealing with the realities of the world but that's also partly why i like it but yes it's it's it's a different thing and it's understandable why you know i don't know it just depends like it depends on your relationship with reality really you're saying that like well i was gonna say jonathan are you are you saying that like there's some things that just aren't socially appropriate to ex express so you have to express them in a certain context but to be like a pirate you have to be like an old-timey slave an old-timey ruler like you're just i would explain the popularity of the you know the renaissance fair and and you know the dickens fair um yeah that was that was the tenet of my argument we were talking about comics i think so um yeah you you grew up in hogwarts i i exactly no i i grew up um i don't chuckle though there's a tv show called grange hill that that was definitely how i grew up yeah my school was more like hogwarts here's more like grange hill yes greatest hill was pretty good though i did i did like what it was very popular show about our local company and london's london comprehensive so it was pretty gritty and they were dealing with some it was on children's television hour or the sort of later part of the children's television hour on a weekly basis wasn't there and uh you know all the actors were kids in a high school and uh dealing with all the things that high schoolers deal with really so it was it was yeah it was pretty you know like many british soap operas they're sort of down and dirty as opposed to american ones where everybody's sort of glitzy and glamorous british ones are always everybody's like really you know struggling anyway so i read a lot of comics and um and then one day i i in my head we were on holiday like my family holiday would be like parents would drive me and my brother out to some rather unglamorous campsite in in wales or or dorset or something we would put up a tent in a field and then the big excursion would be you know we'd drive into the little town and and there was nothing to do you just took a you know they would always have they'd always have a shop with like spinners on or they'd be like a magazine shop or like a candy store with magazines somewhere i remember going through some magazines and and then at the bottom of this pile i pulled out um what was called what was called ali sloper magazine and ali sloper was is the hogan's alley of of uh comic chips as far as the english are concerned because in the us it's everyone says the yellow kid was the first comic strip and in britain everyone says ali sloka was the first comic strip and i'm not sure which one was first and there's all this argument about what the definition of the comic strip is just after the word anyway i pulled it out it was actually the magazine of the british cartoonist society or whatever that's called um and i don't know how it got there like yes that that's hogan's alley but that's that hogan's alley was the name of the yellow kid yeah i dale knows more than i do about this um yeah dale's expert and he'll yeah he'll find out if we don't and cartoon how to explaining um so um and that so this this was i looked through and it was all about the industry of cartooning and had all these sort of features about cartoonists and um and that was the first time i realized that cartoon was a thing that you could do and make a living from and that um you know hunt emerson was in it and um whose work i absolutely adored and um oh yes yes well yes yes he's popular here dale loves hunt as well yes definitely yes um but um from then on in i would tell everyone because you know when you're a kid everyone says hey what you want to be when you grow up and then you would say i need to be a cartoonist well i really wanted to be a soccer player um but that was never going to work out because okay so cartoonish was your sensible career that was your i fallback i also really like the idea of being a naturalist um and i used to spend hours drawing um cartoons about a naturalist called james mcnacka and he had a big backpack and he had all these pockets and and i'd do this kind of like exploded um detailed uh infographic diagram with what was in every pocket we'd like to have a magnifying glass and then he'd have like plaster cast so you can make um imprints of the tracks he would find and then there'd be like all these sample things and then notebook and then he'd draw cartoons of all the things that he found and um i was very much in love with that kind of lifestyle you know until i made it rain a lot and i'd get wet and be killed instantly probably yeah i love the idea that he's having his blast to paris for making footprints i was sort of an idea they were always trying to encourage us kids in 70s britain to make plaster of paris i think i tried it it's like completely difficult and hard before i forget in your pocket before i forget emerson has a new book coming he just can't 14 time stuff right yeah so just just in case people didn't know that get itsy bitsy spider then get hunt emerson yes yes yes yes i don't know what yes what's the best place to what was the best hunt emerson to start with i don't know what's widely available really dante's inferno dante's inferno really i'd go with the jazz funnies or calculus cat calculus cat's very good [ __ ] the cat it's a little bit more explicit yes yes well this is the family show here so yeah well i i think the 14 times stuff is really good um uh his uh it's hard to find but uh aliens ate my trousers is fun uh but it's it's fascinating that you you know his work uh here in the u.s it's he's not commonly known yeah he's the robber crumb of england isn't he i mean he really is the detail and the he's he's such a cartoonist everything he does is so well observed but well-rendered not in a realistic way but in a cartoon way he's he it's yeah wallace wallywood almost um did you see mad magazine when you were growing up today yeah so that's that's definitely um another thing inside mad um this book again was one of one of those spinners in in these stores that i i would tell you about when i was on my very boring family vacations and and i would you know i would look at those and just i couldn't believe and to this day i still believe that is the greatest achievement of cartoon art that you will ever see ever and it will never be surpassed i cannot believe anyone could ever ever do that again and these guys you know they weren't paid a lot um wallywood you know had this crappy little house and you know miserable lifestyle you just sit there smoking all day and you know they must have had some sort of mental illness where they could just focus yeah i know and then i'm looking at these people going i want to be just like that i mean it's strange that you say that uh jonathan that you know they probably weren't making much money or had a really nice life but there's this whole thing about uh what money does to motivation especially what money does to creative motivation and it's been written about uh there's been at least one popular book about it in the last maybe 10 years i think it's called motivation 2.0 but basically the conclusion that they come to is that incentivizing people with a lot of money when they're creatives just it does not work the way you think it might work uh it sometimes it it's it's counterproductive you know to involve a lot of money in it have you guys read any of this stuff i can i can believe it's that sort of self-evidence by the practice you know yeah yeah creative people don't get paid too much when you know when they get very rich and successful i'm i'm not advocating yeah i'm not advocating that you know it's difficult yeah you know you're less motivated something i do every day yeah i'm not saying pay creative people less i think we should pay them more and they can maybe maybe they can work that that issue out but it is kind of counterintuitive and it's mostly with the creative types okay i'd like to point out that uh i saw sergio aragones from mad years ago he lives in ojai california and he was driving an enormous black bmw minivan so i don't think he's hurting he's not hurting that's for sure yeah but i mean yes he works very hard doesn't he and cranks it out and has a lot of different places he's also well he was publishing weekly world news mad magazine grew what other things he's in i mean regularly i mean i didn't know he just cranks him out every day paperbacks until the 80s he was doing the paperbacks and then video games killed them all right you look at the arc of his work it's really gone down here in the last 20 years so and maybe that's when the money kicked in yeah well controversial i don't know so so you certainly see that besides they're going to be a cartoonist yeah we still haven't got there have we um so then um thanks dale i i i spent most british i think holidays in the 1970s i don't know i'm leaving at my own camping holidays in the 1970s i would i would i would i'd spend all of my work waking hours avoiding the institutional violence that surrounding me in school and on the streets i mean i don't want to over exaggerate but i i don't think i went a single day without being shoved pushed punched kicked you know having my um this is a really sad story um i came home one day from school and my ear was bleeding because it because it has been pulled by somebody because i used to have ears like this and my mum took me straight to the doctor and the doctor said oh we can fix that so thanks to the great national health service in britain i had my ears pinned back and i found a note yesterday in my staff when i was pulling out some stuff and it was a note from the doctor saying hi jonathan i hope nobody pulls your ears anymore which was nice um but indicative of the time we lived in back then um so i basically um retreated into a world of books and drawing and um i read you know asterix and tintin like everybody and then a lot of other french books um my dad thought he was french so he had a lot of french comic books and um i i um would just i think the world is was such a chaotic and random place that i i i felt like drawing something and making your own world with my way of sort of dealing with that with that chaos um so that was that was probably part of it and i used to make little comic books um my filing system here i started off with um this is this is the research i did for this uh this interview well thank you that's good that's interesting all right here we go so um is here's a book i did called here come the beaver back kids oh well oh yeah hold it are you still there yeah that's good yes wow i don't know i'm not quite sure what year this was but it was you know it's a full full book i know my kid always does comics when he draws the cover and then he maybe starts the first page and it never gets finished yes um but i just the record this goes all the way to the back like the very back page has has stuck in it there you know it's a good quite a thing and how were you when you made that one um i'm not sure and this would probably be four five or six i think and i've got some that are dated here's one that the disney lawyers would probably take offense at you the story isn't really anything to do with it there's a pretty good thunderbirds rendering oh yeah oh yeah yes that's great yes and then an original thunderbirds drawing thunderbird six and then uh i got bigger my format got bigger this is gogo magazine um there's a t-rex on the cover you're right with a crown so my my dad used to work in a family and he would bring home paper because we were too poor to be able to afford like reams of typing papers he'd bring home this paper and it on one side you have these blueprints for like two parts so every other page yeah there's the end of part one that's but this was this unending supply of paper that um we would have to use to draw on but it was always had these these things on the back so um so this is when i was 10 i was doing books like this nice yes more sort of fantasy driven and then maybe later you like you like fantasy when you're a 10. whatever is that fantasy or so much as just crazy stories weirdness right so then it got on to the you know this is your classic uh probably eleven twelve year old tempe and i think i used to draw these you know cosmic bleep okay so jump there yeah well i don't know maybe there's some missing material i mean this is some of the earlier stuff we did we still have this there's something about when all those hormones kick in kids get ultra focused and obsessive you know i feel like this is when this is when it starts going downhill though i feel like i lost a lot of creativeness i'm copying here oh i see interesting okay that's right so then let's see what else i i've got here um so then i started doing i actually this comic came out until that then i was i was all about this for a long time so then i was doing all this stuff like half a human is a haha ironman page that's your work no that's my word this is my word yeah wow what and what year was it how old were you when you did that 16 maybe now oh yeah again yeah i was a little older when fizz came along but i also was doing some videos appropriate 19 1991 so this is my late early 20s now that this is a comic strip i was saying called zoo and it was about a i think it's a beaver or ferret and a giraffe and all the strips involved him going up a ladder to talk to the giraffe because they were hopelessly fever is adorable whatever it is and then this is checkbook charlie this was actually published in boy with the unlimited overdraft facility um that was published in uh checkbook charlie had trunky the toilet in it i didn't like superhero comics at all but there was a lot of early phantom graphic stuff um it was coming out and um a lot of these graphic novels and then love and rockets and all those things yes and that's that's around the time we know that emerson i would start seeing him around that time when they were putting those things out yes mr nose drip wait no mr soybean the over the top green very very very derivative yeah freeze we didn't get it yeah you're really coming up with a lot of different characters and uh finishing strips and doing a good job there making books all right but then there's a long way from that to becoming professional on the way so then probably around mid 20s i guess after they moved to the us so then i gave up pretensions of being a musician and i started doing this comic strip for a film magazine called big big shot um it's about a film producer who uh you know then i i just looked at this realized i used comic sans as the font which is probably the biggest thing of all for quite a long time maybe it could be a collection of these there's quite a few comic sans is coming back in again now the other day i was looking at it and thinking well you know what that's not a bad thought i don't know what's going on it came right no yeah between your childhood in your early 20s did you go to art school at all yes thank you for filling in that gap uh um yeah i did i went to i i'm i don't want to say i was a good artist but i was definitely somebody who was pushed towards the art field and um my parents were sort of okay with it because i think my dad said something like oh yeah he could be a technical drawer and my mom was like oh that sounds like a proper job um i mean that was a i think for somebody growing up in you know an industrial grubby armpit of england um that's the best you could sort of hope for is like a job in a sort of an office in a factory drawing parts you know maybe the those engine parts at the back on the back of these uh it's a paper here the inspiration yeah that's all that's not a bad job i don't know that's probably a pretty decent job you know and i was they did do technical drawing at school and i was absolutely fantastic at it but yeah i i can't imagine that would have been a fulfilling career so yeah so off i go to art school um on the premise that i think i got in mostly because i i was at that point really into um the the fashions of the time of the early 80s and i i kind of got into the i was dressing like crazy outrageous clothing like one did back in the 80s um you know i heard a new website it was you know it was the new romantics it was the futurist of they said futurist back then i don't know beatrice is more of an italian thing from the 1920s isn't it um the um and then i had that fashion we don't know yeah you had you had a devo hat is that that's what i'm getting no i didn't i didn't copy that's the thing i was i was more into myself as a as an art piece i think that was i mean i it sounds like we're hollish like i was a ridiculous i mean i was so full of myself i used to make the most horrible things you know and the music i was into as well i mean as i was in bands already and um just just like the idea of being an art piece more than that following the fashions so um and i would go to a lot of like jumble sales or thrift stores or whatever and and pick up old man clothes i guess you'd call them now um mismatch them um and and wear clothes that no one else is wearing and of course i'd be picked on even more but because i was already being picked on it didn't really make that much difference but that was sort of doing it deliberately like now that being picked on is turning you into an artist i pivoted but you know i'd be walking along the street and people would come up and ask to take my photo and then one time i i got approached and there was this hair salon and they wanted me to model for them and stuff and they would you know drive me all over the place and i'd have to do all these you know fashion shows and i'm i'm a shy guy i'm not the i'm not you know yeah it was deeply embarrassing um but you know it was kind of interesting so um doing it you know you could be still sitting indoors drawing pictures yeah just paradise slightly from the the introvert cartoons with zero social skills um yeah so you sort of reinvented yourself really as a teenager then i i think everyone does to a certain extent i was not popular i was not having any fun whatsoever and i think you know on these pre-internet days i think if if you sort of found this arty bohemian crowd even somewhere like watford there was three or four people we had a little you know we weren't interested in driving cars you weren't interested in in doing all these things that other people wanted to do drink beer and and stuff we were interested in all these crazy weird bands and all these little crazy comics and things that we were finding and helping each other you know expose each other to these things so off i go to art school and i'm pretty sure i got in because i was a guy and and the they it was a they have to do a foundation course in england which is like you do everything and they were like oh a guy with some fashion drawings in his notebook we'll have him for sure and of course as soon as i got in i'd lost all interest in doing fashion because such a i mean compared to the music industry or even compared to the music industry it's crazy uh the music industry is so that the fashion industry is probably worse um so i did my foundation course and then i i was doing fine art and got into um what's now the universe to brighton which is then brighton politics and it was there it was a uh degree in in visual and performing arts and um so you did some and then you had they did music um theater or dawn and i did music i was in all these bands and i already at that point already had a record deal i was putting out singles and um so that was you know probably three years of my creative life because you know living on my own for the first time and um i was earning a good bit of money in bands and i was in like three or four bands and just having this creative freedom to do what whatever you wanted so that was still doing comics but it was mostly um video and and just crap that i'm really embarrassed about you know likely pre-internet a lot of it's lost laughter i am thankful um so yeah i came out when i was in the rain came out about actually i think we have a clip well there are there are clips but i'm certainly not going to help came out of art school and then i was in in bands as a living for uh five years i think maybe a little longer oh you were making a living in band for five years yeah traveling around europe gigging and then you know we'd do three or four gigs um a week and because i was in more than one band and there was like a recording band there was a gigging band and then all these other little bits and things and one of the banters um called the little green hondas and it was a sort of mock surf band with toy instruments and we did but it was it was very um it was very flexible because we could do you know you could do a proper gig or you could do you know acoustic gigs you can busk you could um we were the british busking champions one year um they've got a big trophy it's impressive in britain that's uh that's a pretty high i like this yeah i like the idea of the small instruments it sounds like the setup and the tear downs real quick yes there was no we had one amp for the base that was it there was no drum set or anything yeah i i like that setup they would say you know like all right well that's it we're already done but it was it was you know we did um we did like a dog a dog show we did the garden festivals we did um a boat trip down the thames i think um it just it's very very easy to do and and i don't think we ever did a gig but we didn't go down well that was the personalities in the band everyone everyone in the background was like a really big personality and do fun stuff um that um that turned out you know pretty quickly but you know it was it was a living uh plenty of stories and then um i i don't i think oh so what happened was there was a band called the residents um who've been going for years i don't know if you know who they are but they wear big eyeballs on their heads and i was into this weird crazy band that did this bizarre music and i was like wow residence i love the resonance and um one day a friend of mine who's in in that band actually said i've got a friend staying with me and she's the landlord of one of the residents i'm like what i couldn't believe it so i i made some excuse to you know accidentally walk next to them you know when they were oh hi and she's like oh yeah yeah i'm one of the residents lives down down in my basement if you're ever in san francisco you know come visit and then of course within a few months i was in san francisco visiting and um i just when i came to the states i just realized you know i i felt like i was an outsider in england um and again i guess i kind of pivoted to making that into a positive thing but because when you are a natural outsider and everyone just you just kind of get away with a lot of things as chuck will be able to tell you too yeah oh yeah this is so special you got a special license like at some point you realize that somebody gave you a special license i don't know i embraced the idea of being an outsider and then san francisco because it's also different i feel every day even though i've been here more than half my life now i wake up and i think oh it's just like being on vacation i look out the window and you know the sun shining and there's palm trees and you know there's the beach and the you know the everything and i i just i find the us with all its thoughts and believe me it has major faults um just just being the quirky guy um with the excuse this time um kind of works for me and i've always felt much more at home here and when i go back to england now it's it's it's almost uh like you know oh yeah i'm just it's good to be out but you know yeah like here the us also understand all these things you've been telling yourself you did people be like oh yeah yeah great well done yeah in the in the uk they'd be like what do you want to do that for you know well this this area in particular yeah the bay area super supportive especially of artists i think i mean sometimes i think it's too supportive because you know if you're in a band or you're doing a project and your friends come out to see you basically no one's going to tell you you suck even if you do which isn't always helpful because you might be under the impression that there's no problem here but yeah it's it's super supportive it's the most supportive it's not like i've lived all over the us but you know i lived in arizona for 10 years and i grew up in upstate new york and michigan and by far this is the most supportive like creative community i've ever been in la might be a good place too but ellie's uber competitive is my take on it and and also some of my friends takes that have moved down there it's a whole different ball game for music as you would expect yeah yeah here in the bay area we're a little more you know we have we can yeah you're sort of not as compelled to be like uh doing the mainstream or sort of competing in that sort of mainstream thing we're doing our own crazy things in the bay area most of the time and you know that's encouraged to support it so did you start drawing in san francisco um so yeah i got to san francisco and of course i was i was illegal i was uh um i couldn't work legally but um and rather shockingly um back in 1992 i i was i was whisked through the immigration um in a rather outrageous way um and i got a job working for um a software company doing their their graphic design and um so settled very quickly and um did a lot of just like personal cartooning i did a lot of i was really into back then um i guess what would be called graphic narrative um you know like basically journaling cartoon journaling um and a lot of it was based on you know my new my new life you know um and that um kind of led to me oh so so and then being in this part of the world and suddenly having probably more disposable income than i've ever had before did a lot of traveling and then um in 2003 i went into the peace corps i'm going to make this quick because i know we're running out of time uh yeah well we don't have a particularly hard limit although i do actually yeah i have to jump out at 10 but yeah yeah i mean these guys um i went into the peace corps with my partner at the time who's now my spouse'll unit and so we did two and a half years living in central america and came out of central america and they give you what's called a readjustment allowance um but we just used it to spend on traveling all the way around all south america and everything and i just remember sitting in a cafe in buenos aires and reading the newspapers and seeing all the cartoons there and thinking ah they're amazing um a lot of it it was it was political but um it was just so it just it was it was there were comic strips and all of the comic all the cartoonists seemed to do a comic strip and an editor or cartoon as well like they all had this double cannon to them and um but they they were so broken away from the formula of comic strips it really blasted off the you know that you know the the throwaway punchline it was all very um you know a lot of complaints about about world cartooning is just very metaphoric and it's very simplified and it's all you know wordless and all this stuff but they've really certainly in in in chile argentina and uruguay um which which we went to they i was like looking at them and just going wow these these are amazing cartoonists and they really are exploring the the medium in a way which um i've never seen before um so i was like buying all the books i possibly could you know my bag was like three quarters full of books and i was throwing clothes away to put more books in and stuff let me come back to the the us i'm just going to try this this three-pronged approach where i'm gonna do a comic strip i'm gonna do editorial cartooning and i'm gonna do like a my graphic novel which i've been working on for years um and then um see if any of them work because i came back and i had no job or anything like that so i just started doing this this comic strip and i i just i was like i'm going to draw one a day one a day and i'm so cheap that i signed up on um it was a comic sherpa i think it was called it's um it's actually an offshoot of the of the what was there in the universal press syndicate and you paid 100 a year but you would be on this comic sherpa website which was sort of linked to the go comic site and that um seemed to be a good motivation for me to make one a day one a day and i never missed to this day i've never missed a comic since i started in 2006. yeah yeah fantastic no reruns no no cheating every single day um and that comic server turned out to be a very you know that was you sort of stepped in the step through the door when it when it was open really like that because it didn't last very long comic sherpa but it was offering you know a pathway like a sort of clear pathway into becoming a syndicated cartoonist and there's yeah um there's a there's quite a few um comics comic strips and cartoons have come from that in that background i think most famously scott hillbourne who does the argyle sweater he started there um and and lucas turnbloom was there as well and and um justin thompson it was mythical and there was a lot of podcasts around at the time that i was listening to about like doing cartoons and and david stanford who was um in charge of comic sherpa was very helpful he you know he reached out and he was talking to me he called me up like out of the blue i'm like wow you know yeah and then um i think within about a month um they had offered me um john glenn had called me up as well and said look we love your strip well we'd be interested in syndicating it so this is rabbits against magic so then i was like oh great so then i was basically sitting there and then and then basically they did this whole development thing with me and it kept going on and on and on and um then then they kept saying oh you know the bottom's fallen out of the comment strip market you know we've been trying to launch all these strips and they're just failing they're all failing all failing um so um that i just kept going you know i it's changed a bit it started off much more sort of surreal and and now it's become a lot more topical um but i you know i love doing it it's kind of therapy for me and um i would get kind of crazy if i wasn't doing it but then um i think about three years ago john called me up because you know you want to do some work for hire um cartoonists retiring do you want to take over this trip and i'm like oh sure you know and that was aleop and i mean i couldn't believe it when he said it um and i wasn't allowed to tell anybody for ages and it was killing me you know that's a big deal that's you know that was suddenly that was my real transition from you know being a hobbyist cartoonist to being an actual cartoonist and um so then yeah i just i i took over um i it was it was you know and i i'd say this i i do not i'm not a fan of legacy strips i think they use up space in the in this in the in the on the paper that should be given to young fresh talent to come through i think they are usually awful and generally speaking stagnant and repetitive i don't like the idea of somebody taking over a strip i don't want my kid to take over my strip i'm glad a lot of my favorite strips did not allow their kids to take them over or or anyone to take over pogo was continued a little bit longer by some other artists but they quickly realized that was a mistake yeah that yes that's so much about the art and the creator isn't it and well peanuts as well i know you're a massive peanuts fan you know you grew up with that as well and yeah i know they keep that going you know they they've got the peanut studio they sort of make new products they don't do the strip but they're still that's the thing yeah they don't do the strength so um you know as a fan as a fan of comics and you know i'm a big fan of value and i knew i knew what it was and i i respected the the the the creators that they've used along along the line and i to a certain extent i i feel um i feel bad for the for the longtime readers who i think when they found out that somebody else was going to take over because it had been in decline for a long time for whatever reason um they they thought that maybe somebody was going to take it over and it was going to go back to being the 1930s adventure strip that they really wanted to read and they enjoyed reading and the syndicate was very clear that that that wasn't going to be what we were doing we were going to be doing something new and interesting and it was going to be for a younger audience and we needed to get people back on board and they'd done the same thing with with nancy and they've done the same thing um with mock trail but why did you say yes uh they've they've had different artists for popeye and gone and different they the bobby london iteration of popeye was absolutely fantastic i'll just say that um and i love popeye actually um i remember reading that as a kid and certainly the old symbol theater stuff i absolutely adore oh yeah yeah there's been a lot of popeye artists so yeah so um um it was it was very difficult because i knew there would be a lot of pushback and you know i i like to think i'm trying as hard as i can to to balance this tightrope between being respectful of of what ali was and then moving forward into a into a newer era of of you know i mean again i'm not the right analyst i'm just the artist but i think it's becoming it's become a new thing that will be um in time heralded oh to be working on something with uh with a with a writer that you sort of respect and admire and you know um you know working on a property that's been around for so long but it's sort of relatively free for you to you know make your own mark on it you know it's yeah they were they were very open about it they're like you know as long as the characters are vaguely recognizable you can do whatever you want to them and i did start off i did start off trying to do it in a sort of rabbiting its magic style and quickly realized that that was probably not the best thing to do um it would have been a huge time saver if i hadn't done it um hey i have to jump off you guys so thank you so much jonathan um it's great meeting you and dale and chuck uh i have another meeting with my with my band so um bye you guys carry on we'll see you we'll see you next time chris thank you so much for being here absolutely okay bye bye all right you're down to three yeah i probably got to go back to i've got a dentist appointment today actually okay all right so i don't know if you can see this this is like early ally stuff that's yeah that's not coming through very clearly um and then they just like just they just said there's nothing written so they'll just like draw two weeks worth of strips so then i just like just messing around just drawing you know just blending lovely thank you wait what are you what were you doing they said draw two weeks worth of strips but without any words well he didn't give me any scripts i was just i just started drawing cavemen and bits you know putting in empty balloons and practicing i think they just wanted to make sure i could draw something that looked vaguely like ali you know something yeah okay so those were not used like nobody retroactively put some words in them or anything that was just and i don't know what i i don't know what i did but then one of them i can't find the one i did now or maybe it was this one one of them the john is like the the editor was like oh yeah that's the one and i i don't think i did it any differently from any of the others but i guess that just meant it was like okay excuse me okay to go yeah and then joey came in and she sent me a bunch of scripts and the first thing that she had characters doing was going back to the 80s um which was a challenge partly because the ali physique is very similar to the puppet physique and that he's got very thick forearms yeah yes yes ridiculously thick um what's that part of the body but it's the opposite of an actual human yeah and then the 80s fashions are the opposite of that they're very much a thick so like ally wearing baggy pants would basically it would it would level out the legs so it'd just be like a tube or something you know yes and and so i had to be very creative with that kind of um the challenger value is very much about doing a lot of research because the the team is going backwards and forwards in time so there's all these different costume changes like they go to ancient greece they go to um thankfully they go to a lot of um made up places like the future or um distant planets or something um where you can kind of invent clothes but yeah there's the boston tea party was quite challenging the hardest thing i've ever had to draw was um she had how you go down lombard street because they were in san francisco oh god and um didn't like going down the crooked street so he he got a tractor and he drove straight down the hill so i had to do a panel with lombard street and ali driving a tractor down the middle or like a backhoe what was it what it's called with the scoop then yeah bulldozer he bulldozed a straight he fixed lombard street basically so to draw lombard's tree and um the bulldoze tracks um in this one panel of a comic strip you know compared to say like a hagar strip or a yeah right now you're wishing you had done a cut and paste style yeah you know i i literally drove over and i realized there's no you can't see lombard street unless you're in a drone for example or a plane looking down on it otherwise you just don't see the curve so much it's like anyway it sort of worked nobody complained about it oh yeah right here is really anyone who's worrying about it what is your day like for doing these strips i mean how much time do you spend on the strip how much time do you spend on searching for reference material uh could you describe your day yeah so i get it i get a two or three week lead from from joey when she sends her scripts over so i get a head start on if they're gonna be somewhere where i need to do any research um luckily ally gets away most of the time wearing these little like animal fur pants and everything else this is crazy weird physique to us nothing homoerotic drawing um and it's these weird things you notice when you because i look through a lot of old alieb strips as well but they always try and avoid drawing the feet a lot they always have this grass growing up so you don't see the feet when i draw a lot of feet um so my day is basically based around caring for my kids no i get get the kid up get the kid to school and i have to pick the kid up again and then deal with him and then put the kid to bed so in between all that stuff while i'm playing with the kid entertaining the kid feeding the kid all that stuff yes that starts to take off reach out they get more i get a bit of the morning um a bit of the afternoon and then after he's gone to bed um so after he's gone to bed generally speaking that's rabbit's time um but other than that it's um it's more like i don't have set times i don't like pencil at one time and ink it's it's just all a scramble to get it all done and um it's it's really my process is i need to have something on either music i do i do have a movie on sometimes with the director commentary so a movie i know so i'm just listening to the commentary and i can occasionally look up oh yeah that's that bit they're talking about blah blah blah it's it's something that keeps me going or podcasts or something on that line i recently discovered netflix with audio description enabled is quite good for like a lot of documentaries and things so they'll you know tell you what you're looking at so you don't have to be looking at it yeah very good thanks the director john borman his films like excalibur and zardoz have excellent director commentaries okay oh yes yes yeah i'm not a big fan of fantasy that's the thing um yeah stay away from zelda it's dangerous no it's very dangerous no i'm definitely i'm more of a late 50s all through the 60s and early 70s that's my era for the movies for sure um but yeah it's it's the it's mostly so i have to do the coloring as well i know a lot of cartoons comic strip cartoonists they they can just they can just hand off their their inks and then somebody else calls them but somehow these days technology means that most cartoonists or most cartoons like me have to do the coloring too and the coloring is frustratingly long even with clip studio um but i find coloring is the most mindless part you know what you know that's when you really can put on an audio book or something and just sort of be zoned out for me i feel like coloring is so close and yet it's so it's the least you're right i mean you could be doing other things when you're coloring but it has to be done and it has to be done correctly i suppose yeah yeah yeah i know i feel like you know i love to do it but it's like it's the bit i need to think about the least you know my mind can be very sort of disengaged while i'm coloring especially if it's like a cartoon like you know different painting where you're sort of actually trying to you know define things a lot but when you're coloring a cartoon you know the lines are all sort of set so you know there's less less decisions to be made or like the easier that you know the more about the value than anything yeah are you using are you using the stock tools in clip studio paint for your coloring me no i'm referring i was you yeah me yeah you i'm not using clip studio paint i want to shut the [ __ ] up i'm just thinking about if if um i was just thinking i couldn't be complaining because looking at one of chuck's i mean i would just i'd be killed instantly if i had to do something like that um i mean alley oops not a complicated coloring job really um okay because i do backgrounds a lot of comic strips just don't do backgrounds at all they're just you know very yes i do go above and beyond with my backgrounds um yes yeah definitely i mean you're sort of working like an old school cartoonist you still have these is clip studio paint um by celsius they have um tools you can download from their website and they have some more advanced coloring tools if you've never uh explored those okay well i will explore them yeah i should i should take the leaf out of your book there too dale i know i've got a bunch of things i need to color so i don't know when i was doing all those watercolors if you ever want to talk about the software uh offline via facebook let me know and i might be able to point in towards some tools that i've found okay i mean i'm happy with what i have which is basically a bucket and that close gap feature okay and both just just being able to fill i mean there used to be a i used to use a thing where it would randomly fill in blocks yes i forget what it was it wasn't clip studio but it was it was photoshop uh b flat that's what chuck uses yes yes beep out uh multifill and flatten pro two plugins multiples yeah it would make everything a color and but everything and then you just you could just easily just fill in yeah i find that really helpful for the search and finds because then you know i do all the hair one color and all the faces one color and then i can sort of select them and you know do all skin skin and hair and then clothes because of the multi-fill clothes you know takes a lot of the thinking out of doing clothes yeah you know just all the little things you know yeah the colors i have a cut palette so you know all my palettes sort of thrown on the on the scene you know then i just sit there all day with a good nice cup of tea and a good audio book and off i go yeah yeah but matty when you finish a strip now are you just emailing the file or using dropbox to send that to the syndicate uh that's that's an easy question to answer not a very interesting answer though it's um i send it i make a jpeg send it to the we have two editors and and they they both come back with input normally there's no there's no changes maybe a small typo or something um occasionally i think maybe four or five times i've had to redraw a panel there was one time somebody was having an anal exam it was bending over the arm disappeared which was quite funny once the editor says fine then you just upload and it's a username they usually have an ftp site you can upload too okay but they actually they also wanted i i really wanted to do um a hand font when i doubled and and they they sort of said look do you use an actual font because we don't we have to change it we have to make different languages different language versions um and then they wanted like an open file that they could go in and there's layers you have to have the other thing people don't know about syndication format cartoons is that you can't use anti-alias which is horrible because if you look at an actual file you know it doesn't have that nice clean smooth lines that look nice on a screen i mean they look great in the newspaper because that's what they that's what it is yes or no on that black layer um so it's horrible so when you when you go in and you zoom in and do little fine details it's it's all about like you're messing with pixel and it feels like that's so antiquated in this day and age to be able to do that yeah so you're talking about like the black and white being a bit mapped yes so um yeah the fire line creates there's two layers actually has two two art layers and then all the font layers and there's a black layer that's just black on transparent and it sits on top of the color layer so the colors underneath so you can go underneath you have to go underneath that black yeah they normally print the color and then the black goes on top yes i tend to sort of work like that as well actually i found because certainly with some of my sort of self-published things you know they don't want you heavier of an ink limit so i just kind of work that way anyway so yes you know lately yes i i have been going just sort of fully bitmapping my black layer i mean i thought you know i felt like that way but then i saw i think it was actually i was looked at some brian bolland were you know and i realized that you know he was doing that as well and you know his work always looks so clean i'm always trying to achieve a clean look i don't know why i mean you know i you know i get a good look but i think you know yeah trying to get something very clean is very hard for me you know i always end up with a sort of kind of more rough sort of look i suppose in one way or another so yeah i don't know yes it's interesting but yes it's so small when it's printed you're not you're not going to see those pixels but yeah yes absolutely but i think yeah they just the anal obsessive in me or the compulsive yes i just want to see something good on the screen before i send it off and then as soon as you zoom in you know to any extent you start seeing these little jaggers yeah you know i hear all these stories um about cartoons having to rush off to the airport you know to catch the last fedex to send off these tubes to their editors every week because they're so close to deadline and i think we've got it easy with uh with these you know computers these days so we shouldn't complain yes or do you like working on a large city well i do have a backup system because i when i did go digital i realized there was no going back and then i panicked because i just i know the day's going to come when the cintiq doesn't work and then and then you're just you're stuck so i do have a backup they were selling i think wacom did was selling a whole bunch of cheapo um you know the smaller ones on on ebay there were refurbished ones that i guess had been returned so i and it was like 400 bucks i think oh you can't go wrong with that so i got a backup one and then if we ever go on vacation you know it's it's you know the size of a laptop you can just take it all along with the all the cables that go with it just incredible they're bigger than the actual unit itself yes well douglas adams had a theory about the cables and that that was that's where these companies make their real money yes the markup on the i used to sell computers the computers we had practically no profit margin it was selling the cables and you would usually get a free printer so selling the ink in the paper that's where all of our profit came from yes printer ink's one of the most precious liquids on earth apparently in terms of drop for drop value and yeah i worked at monster cable for a little while they're in the bay area you know like when i was like doing graphic design work and stuff but yeah they were quite a nice company to work for but yeah you know they were they were massively engineering the cables you know there was a lot of profit in those i think now everyone just goes to central computers and buys these cheap uh cables imported from timbuktu or wherever yeah no but monsters like if you spent you know thousands and thousands of dollars on your stereo you're not gonna be grudged spending a hundred dollars on the cable you know but then they make them like well now so they don't work unless you buy the official cables well i haven't heard about that i i buy cheap junk cables i have a box somewhere yeah i mean monster would just you know they would just use the premium products you know they had a little engineering lab there uh they look great monster cables looked like good cables yeah they looked like bootcamps they felt like good cables and they ensured you that they were good cables but you know you're talking about like well small amounts of difference but yeah if you paid a huge amount for your stereo then you know why risk why risk losing all that sound quality with a cheap cable when you can use a nice expensive monster cable yeah but now we all listen to crappy music on our iphones or our smartphones all right i don't even own a stereo anymore i don't even own a tv anymore blimey well oh well that's good yeah okay so you just have your just have your little device that plays nice well he's got a whack do you come out with a whack cylinder next yeah you're in san francisco so are you going to amoeba records or um amoeba doesn't have a great selection of 78 there's a place called john's records um on i want to say divisidero it's in the lower eight there's a fantastic selection of 78s um but um and i'm sitting next to literally 578 um but it's it's ebay these days if you i mean once you get to a point where you just don't want any 70 you want specific staff the internet unfortunately has destroyed the collections of um at least you know i i'm i'm with you guys i'm sure it's the same thing like i used to love the hunt i used to love going into old bookstores and and finding the um um finding things that i didn't even know existed you know wow that that's a you know and it might not have been the greatest thing but just the hunt itself and the and the surprise and the and the finding and the discovery part was was such a huge thing and then um once the internet came along and you realize what there was you either got put off because there was too many things or you realized that the values of things or things became more expensive or you know initially ebay was super cheap and you could find all these things that you've been looking for for years and suddenly they were available and you could get them very quickly and then the fun went out of it too because it was too easy yeah yes it's too easy and then you end up like you know and i'm ending up with like sort of long live wish lists of all these things that i can't afford right now but i've had you know and then once those lists get so big you're like well what's the point i worked in retail for years and retail is entertainment it isn't about uh going and buying things and i think that's something unfortunately that we're losing is the entertainment and the exercise of going uh out shopping and browsing um now you're up in san francisco are there any haunts uh as a cartoonist you go to uh a friend of mine saying hi um like uh do you hit the comic book stores in san francisco and berkeley or uh any book shops that you like what do you still where do you hunt still well i haven't left the house for two years because he's playing out there i'm petrified he's got enough books in his own library he spends all yeah yeah um i do i do have a substantial library of things like i never tire off um you know and i i also i'm realizing that um i i love social distancing i'm not i'm not a necessarily a great person i can't believe as a younger person that i would go to clubs and um you know i i didn't drink even back then and i would go and you'd just scream at somebody over the music for three hours and go home and then that was called a good time um i've also discovered that i enjoy people at a distance i like writing to people i mean i have people i write to every day on email and i would consider them my best friends and i haven't seen them for you know 10 years 15 years um but that's that's because i'm anti-social when i like to paraphrase george carlin you know the average american is is pretty stupid and that's and that means that half of them are even more dumb yeah remember that think how stupid the average american is and then remember that half of them are stupider than that or you could just say the average person you don't need to make it ahead of americans i'm not i'm not holding with any of this nationalist nonsense i decided that's all just stuff that people who want us to kill each other for their profits we're gonna use those things to stir us up and you know i'm the only emergency here in a conversation with two brits yeah i i i feel like okay so i i would say that i feel like most people in the world are good people i and i've traveled i've traveled i've been fortunate enough to travel a lot and i've also lived in in um places where the system is not based on greed and self-interest like it is here and there's something about a country i don't know whether it's the poverty or the the communal necessity of having to help each other out that makes people become more what i would call human that they're more understanding than more sympathetic and once you get it's it's it's the difference between um europe and you know like spain for example and mexico they're two countries they both speak the same language but in mexico you can talk to anybody you can hang out with them you can it's it's it's very much more of a thing when you go to spain it's like everyone's you know what are you talking to me for what do you want you know and um so i'm definitely not picking on americans i am an american citizen and so just for the record um it's um it's it's the disparity of wealth that i find absolutely shocking and and the um and i think money does corrupt and um people either don't have enough or they have way too much that's my philosophy yes i mean my current theory though is really you know science has shown that you know one person out of a hundreds you know scores high on this lack of scores high and a lack of empathy you know they're a sociopath or actually it's described as a psychopath but people don't really you know that term's more difficult for people but you know the trouble is that they don't you know they don't care 99 of the rest you know they'll have us thinking that we're all like them but we're not you know 99 of us are not like that but you know the thing is they'll very quickly corrupt a more utopian sort of system like um like communism you know it doesn't they don't have a mechanism built in capitalism has the competition instinct built in all right so it's somewhat more resistant to their sort of corrupting influence not that they don't still have it but you know it's still you know that's why it sort of seems to be the most effective system even if it's not a great system these other systems you know which seem great and should work but they don't because they get corrupted by these people and always it's these same people like putin whoever it is you know you know big scale small scale you know they're highly high percentage of the jail prison population but also when you look at ceos then that you've got one in 25 but that's still 96 of them aren't but you know i think they're they're the ones you know they're the ones that will make us sort of kill each other for um you know our differences you know and they always want everybody to be seeing everything you know the same way you know it's very important that you know when they've got their little cup going whatever that you're not allowed to look outside of that at all you know and they get you to put it you know you can put on a uniform and then it'll be easier for you to go kill for them and then once you kill for them unless you two are a sociopath you know you'll then have to sort of morally justify what you did which is very hard you know unless the whole society is sort of supporting you in that you know and you'll get the ptsd but these people won't and i know i think they've sort of been behind really a lot of history most of everything really but it is a problem that we need to sort of recognize and be aware of i think yeah well i i feel like um i mean that there was a you went a long way there from distribution of wealth to killing uh that's kind of well it's just about sort of a system you know why a system like getting drugs when you when you're young everyone says oh don't worry when you're you know when you you might be left leaning now but when you when you when you hit 30 when you hit middle age you'll become a conservative just like everybody else i found that to be the absolute opposite i'm much more annoyed and irritated now than i ever was much more motivated to try and do something about it um but the the the irony is or the conundrum is i feel like if we were in if this if this we were in a socialist country our little exploits at trying to um make comics or all been being amusing stuff would be controlled by the state and we would have no sex would be we'd be powerless to really even do our own little home projects and uh yeah a little world would be completely um based on oppression by by the powers that be and um we would probably end up being uh you know much more sympathetic towards the idea of independence and and free expression definitely i mean yes i mean like comment is yes ultimate sort of free expression we're like you know i mean yeah my books they're they're you know probably not allowed in the islamic world i did get asked to do some search scenes set at mecca by some islamic scholars at one point i'm like i'm not doing that because i probably if i say yes i'm going to get an automatic factory steel against me you know because thing is these things are very powerful i mean all comic images they're so simple and you don't need to be able to read you can look at it you know and you can you can mock the leader and it's sort of you know it's giving you quite a wide perspective or it's his idea of perspective you know people who want to control you just want you to see through one eye you know and then they can tell you that the trees growing out of the man's head you know when you open your other eye you see all the trees 50 yards behind the mat do you know what i mean effectively the further apart and bigger more eyes that you have the better you can somewhat make out what's really going on because none of us can really figure that out you know like that's just you know that you can't figure out everything but you know comics comics have quite a powerful way of putting these strong ideas of the mind you know to educate and entertain but you know as possibly used for evil but it's hard to control a cartoonist you know they're not motivated by money yes people who work at charlie hebdo see what they say yeah well yeah well okay yeah so yes exactly so they came up you know blew up attacked the charlie hebdo but did that stop them i don't know doesn't that just you know make them worse speaking of charlie hebbo and speaking of being more liberal now and the importance of cartoons what cartoons are you looking at now do you look at other cartoonists like for example i read the nib um i also read the cartoons in the new yorker what other cartoonists interest you that you're following now um i love the medium of editorial cartooning i would love to do editorial cutting i think rabbiting its magic is essentially an editorial cartoon most days um i was a big fan of tom tolls before he retired a couple of years ago um i too am a faithful subscriber to the name i've tried a few times to get into the new i've bribed matt wars many times even offering my own human child who once we went to we were the sacramento bee which is a newspaper in sacramento and and i was there with my kid and matt was there with his newborn kid and we were locked out the building we couldn't get in and all the other all the other cartoons were inside and no one was answering the doorbell but you could get in through the scanner because the scanner kind of went from outside to inside so i got my kid to crawl through the scanner open the door from the inside that's the last time i saw matt boar's editor of the yeah the nip's doing great stuff i love i love the knit i i kind of wish it would expand a bit more so that it's not the same seven people who you know whose work i love you know jen sorensen awesome wonderful person brilliant cartoonist and i miss i i do love um uh i dan his name is tom tomorrow professionally um dan perkins uh his stuff this modern world it's always on the money and lloyd dangle no longer doing history but i love lloyd dangle's work um he used to do one called troubletown yes um but yeah the new yorker has a very specific type of humor and um i love i mean i read it every week religiously and adore it and i love the history of the new yorker um almost aggressively uh for many reasons um i i'm a huge fan of sj perelman's writing i think he's probably the most underrated writer of all time and i never understand why he's not more heralded i i think his writing is just cut above everybody else's in terms of of of humor and just crispness of of prose um what else do i like um i i'm big into the a lot of i mean my dream is to retire and just sketch for the rest of my life i i like a lot of um artists that just kind of do i wouldn't say cartoony sketches but they have a style of sketch that is not like photorealistic sketching just has loads of personality and it's it's such a nice lifestyle to imagine that you could just travel the world and sit in cafes and draw and yes and sit on a beach or you know sit in wherever and and just that could be your life that to me seems like the next step okay that sounds good all right guys i think i'm gonna have to call it there that sounds like a good note to end on we could probably go on talking forever i i you know and i'm sure we'll do it again sometime and hopefully i'll see you in real life soon jonathan what's the once the pandemic's probably over it's coming back it was a pleasure to meet you yes great to meet you dale yes thank you dale for joining us again and asking some useful questions that i probably wouldn't have thought of and uh yeah jonathan awesome yeah if you want to check out jonathan's work uh where's the best place to go uh gocomics.com has full archives of all my work all right go comics and yes you can find them easily enough rabbits if you search rabbits against magic ally comic strip will come up pretty quickly and yes so that's 11. all right so thank you everybody i'm going to play the theme music and i'll be back tomorrow with cartoonist travis hanson uh talking about his strip life for the party which will all be about fantasy cartoons so yes we'll [Music] spout down came the rain and washed the

lkBKkxVnniE | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkBKkxVnniE | Yule Boasts | All right, so my boast is that, by this time next year, for posterity, I will have at least my forge, my anvil, a small set of tools, and I will have produced at least one blade, however so shitty, that I will present at next year's party. At next year's Yule Dinner. Denis: Anyone else? Me: Who wants to go next? Anthony: I have nothing. Not even a license? I will boast that I will get my license by this time next year. This is something if you're not going to put your entire heart into it, your every being, you're gonna fuckin' do it... don't even say it. Stop staring at me! All right, so your boast is that you're gonna get your license? Anthony: Yes. Me: All right. Anybody over here? Krystal: My boast is that I'll get full time by this time next year. Miller: Hey, no, I don't know yet. Hold on. Anthony: Miller's gonna boast that he's gonna get a girl by this time next year. Miller: No, no. My boast is that I will have been making video blogs for the entire year. And I'll be making a respectable amount of money from it. Miller: Now is respectable a few dollars? I would say really anything would be... Me: Anything's more than nothing. Exactly, and especially from just video blogs on Youtube. Me: Oh yeah, yeah. What was your boast? Miller: To reforge the lost ties with my family, my other half of my family and, uh, get to know my sister and stuff. And continue his resolution from '04 not to break a promise. Denis: Yeah, that's why he doesn't make promises! Miller: Yep. I rarely make promises because of that boast. This is fuckin' awesome, man. You guys over there participating or are you just gonna keep doing your stuff? I don't think Michelle heard any of it. Michelle: Yes? Yule is an ancient celebration which a lot of the traditions from christmas has been adopted from. So one of the traditions on the last day of Yule, which is tonight, you'd swear an oath over a boar; we have a ham. Close enough. So that's where the idea of New Year's resolutions comes from. It's called "making a boast," and we wanted to know if you would like to make a boast as well. Like something that you're gonna keep. And remember, this is all on video so I can prove it to you, come this time next year when you haven't done it. Miller: Way to be that guy, Ian. I'm all out of boar, though. Me: Don't worry; I was, too. Michelle: Getting my life on track, being able to get myself financially stable whether that means keeping the job I have now, getting another one, or finding a new one, you know, I want to be able to be a better mother for my daughters and have them with me, not have to live with my mother, and hopefully I can be less of a pain in the ass to my boyfriend who puts up with a lot of shit. It works the other way, too, it works the other way, too. You put up with a lot of crap, too. I got the perfect plan for you. You know how you start this whole spiel? Step One: Master... Gangnam Style. Oh god... Well, now, think about that, you could make money, off the streets with that. That's a stable job, right? Denis: So, I don't think Nick has anything. No, Nick's antisocial like usual. Nick?! Yeah, he's gone. | evildrkirby | UCRK1t-rG2pHzQbbDBWUp-fA | 2013-01-07 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 602 | 3,179 |

inferior con a damaged goods canna tapas my really Jack you're a reject top typical Beyonce some demands abuse yes sir especially of course when I was younger I didn't realize that it was natural for someone who went through that to feel that way marrow when I was going through counselling when I went when I was reading books about you know what happened to me it's a textbook case cuz and also I felt that way I felt I said that I took part in it that there there was probably something that I did or something bad I saw probably some signs that I wanted it so I'm feeling a parent participant qey that's the most an apparel for me and that brings more guilt to you oh there's a parent ok dum-dum oh no no I said the first time it happens it's just like what I said I didn't understand it but the second time the third time the fourth time fifth time I don't feeling cool I was already participating I I was involved already said there was really same mm-hmm and so looking back now Tama being cynically Tomo you you mañana say oh you you kept it and why is it equal to you you wanna do my dance i'ma abuse why do these children keep quiet shame fear because especially if you feel that you're all alone because when it happens to you and most of the time at least in my case it was done to me by people that I trusted people that were supposed to protect me so how can you how can you now go to somebody and tell them that this happened to you when the very people who did it to you are the very people who are supposed to protect first place and landowner how can you tell your parents Panama's you know you some polymerization boos aha Neela come your mana power neon I more or less aged Neela or or you know their then then they will say us who will they believe you or them and these are people known to her to the family and who are good you yes and respected by other people who want after embrace these people that you know they're they're actually people that I looked up to I love them and to this day I love them but there was there was probably something going on also in their lives that's why they did what they did and it's so hard especially now I know that I cannot really just final at this point I know that I can't put the blame on them anymore I released them to God already and parent God has a destiny for their life maybe something happened to them - that's why they're doing they did it to me - it's probably a generational curse so to keep it a secret it's not something that's advisable it would be better if you find someone that you can trust to say whatever happened to you yeah but of that person can help you that person can pray for you saguru part of donneson ah be more know young shame da Hill Union Rene desperate Ocilla domani Bongo siblings

remember God what a girl you that you kept it quiet um maybe almost 30 years Wow almost 30 years Wow imagine you carrying that all this I would share it to a few people but I would never share it that I got to my family I never shared it with my family so my advice would be find someone and it's hard that you know when you are abuse it's really hard then I know I've never met anybody then they sexually abuse Nutella can openly just shared it with anyone just like the dead yeah it's really something that's hard to to share so my advice would be really to number one number one recognize that it happened to you and if that if you're going through that and you're feeling a little confused or feeling fanon human had symptoms of Nepali feel emo guilty Khmer simcha Peron in the muna Indian AMA hiya sorry linen linen era say oh that's already a sign that you should share it with someone so really find someone that you can trust if there's nobody at any point that you could trust write it down on a journal at least express how you're feeling find a way to share how you're really feeling inside can say it when you're pumped up and then you add to it it's like butter on my analogy just like what I've shared before it it's like a dirty pool young parent Hindi nearly Lina standing leaves I'm gonna poop on una poopie noonish I'm gonna overflow Annabelle it's really dirty so you have to drain it about the pool has to be drained so find someone that you can share your your drama with your experiences with sometimes gain the Maneri realize that it's a trauma you don't even know that panic I said it like to me I was confused and sometimes studies the trauma ego you you know the tendency is you block it out yes your panel you want to forget that yeah that thing in the past you we pretended it did not happen it did it does not exist I'm okay you know you just find ways to forget about it so Paracon Masuka infection Falcon and toponym band-aid a falcon and first in tougher but it's not healing yes but you know one thing that it's a telegram is on my locking bag ina and my so sabi ko is that there isn't a said there was just a Santa hola Marco not elegant in exacting and did not judge me just listen to me prayed for me and just continue to pray for me and and encouraged me and that person led me to Jesus Christ I met the Lord and I was very young but the trauma the pain all of those things have stayed with I didn't I didn't even share it I feel that one person you know there is believe me there is someone out there who'd listen to you someone who would be the ears of God in your life and the voice of God in your life there's someone there so pray pray that someone would lead you to the greatest healer which is Jesus Christ and just pour out your heart to that person and at this point I'd like to invite everybody to just pray with us and let's go let's really go to the source of our healing the only source of our healing which is Jesus Christ let's pray

Review!1 | [Applause] [Music] this is your friend dan oh and this is roverland the youtube channel that's anything and everything land rover have i got a video for you today [Music] and welcome hey first things first uh make sure you smash that uh like button uh give me a big thumbs up make sure you're subscribing all right yeah um i first got to tell you that uh we're back on the air yeah praise the lord yes things uh got a little hectic uh we lost the laptop for a little while hopefully we can get back on uh schedule or a schedule uh but uh yeah uh just be thankful uh to god that i mean it's because of god to jesus christ that we're here on roverland he provides and he helps me and and you know it's just great and so sorry about the interruption we'll be keep going uh you know hey by the way if you if you want to know more about jesus christ let me know in the comments below i'll send you some information um all right but anyway let's head off thanks for joining me today we got a one-off wednesday now you see uh five cars here but uh hello uh i found something i reque i acquired this uh last saturday and we're gonna talk about that next saturday this coming saturday and uh unboxing but uh i'm gonna show you anyway but bam check it out this is the national parks forest ranger edition now as you notice uh the wheels are kind of wonky yeah uh this is a mint condition practically mint i'm going to show you the boo-boos right now just right here on the uh roof rack of this model but otherwise all the corners are clean uh there's no other markings on the the thing i mean even the back rear lights i mean this is a kind of a sharp edge but it is an edge and uh boy it is in mint condition so what happened was uh somebody stepped on this and they stepped on it on a hard floor and they bent the wheels uh and i might try you know dinking around a little bit trying to straighten them but um it's okay it's okay because i found out that uh i have a couple of them but anyway let's take a look at this this is the uh 2000 uh trademark this is the land rover discovery and uh like i said this is the uh the us524 national parks uh forest ranger all right so this is uh came out in 2008 and why i'm making this a one-off wednesday is because there's uh there's an interesting story about this uh these cars uh 2008 came out in a 10-pack only so you know they're really kind of hard to get a hold of uh because you know they only came out in a 10 pack so somebody had to buy a pretty big um pack to to get this and you know what i probably have one around here somewhere um i should have grabbed that but you know what what's the deal there matter of fact hey hold on a second all right um apparently i can't find it right off the hand i i have them right here next to me i found two of these which we'll talk about later but uh they they come in a 10 pack that would look similar to this um and as some reason i can't put my hand on it but anyway uh so this is what we're talking about one of wednesday this discovery the national parks forest ranger they this a lot of people collect this national parks forest ranger um uh series and they show up in singles now they show up in in uh five packs and stuff like that so very very collectible um i do have a display case where i have uh apparently i have three of them i thought they were a little bit more um well they're hard to get a hold of and i've been collecting for a while so i actually was able to get a hold of a couple uh funny story so i was at this uh great great great um swap meet car beat in iola iola wisconsin um how's that a i o l a iola check it out they're on the google and whatnot uh i found it in loose because it come in a 10-pack i found it loose in a in a a box of a whole bunch of other stuff and uh i only paid a dollar for it yeah these things are outrageous on uh ebay right now i i just recently the ironic part of i just recently was bidding on one of these and went well over ten dollars i'm not really sure uh but they came out once again they came out in 2008 in a mint green and a 10 pack now what people confuse these with is this bugger here but bam this now is the um what they call the wild uh what do they what do what do they call it i think uh wildfire rescue unit uh but this is ground patrol and this came in a 10 pack as well and here's the 10 pack like i say i i found two of these on the shelf but i couldn't find my 10 pack of the uh of the other one but uh they are similar and i got two loose ones here now interestingly enough this this one's got a little customization gone on it but that's all right that's all right we like it it's pretty neat uh so we'll look at this one here that's a mint condition here i had in my display case i'm like hey check it out so this one came out in 2010 so two years later they produced kind of the same thing well i hope this shows up on the camera yeah it does so even though now i go to bamca dot org give them a plug there bamca.org and uh they catalog these as both being mint green same wheel same everything but they're not the same green as you can see there that's that's a pretty pretty good uh uh representation by the camera um this one uh a lot of people now this one was a little bit more plentiful you can find these out and people try to sell these uh at the price of this one which you know it's just as valuable it came from a 10 pack as you see it never came i believe loose on the car no it just came in the 10 pack and uh it is different decos you know it it's the kind of the same color but it's different decos and this has got like a smoke window to it where the original quote-unquote original or the national parks has a clear window with a tan interior this has got a smoke window with like a black yeah i thought it was more brown but it's a black interior so yeah be wary um like i said there's a lot of people that are trying to sell this one here as the coveted um national parks and uh the national parks usually has this black and white stripe on them somewhere the the vehicles they may not all have this badge uh they usually say national parks on them somewhere but mostly they do have the black and white stripes so so really kind of cool this is uh really an awesome piece and like i said um it was early in the day when we got to the swap meet slash car show or actually i think iola uh car show calls it a car show slash um swap beat and we'll talk more about that on uh saturday unboxing so check that out iola car show but yeah so there we go one of wednesday of this little gem can't believe it it's just uh a great addition beautiful paint job kind of got the funny suspension going on i may try to see if i can uh you know bend those back i mean they are serious what the problem is is there's not much room to get a tool in here to bend them and then once you do that they the the wheels pop like that yeah you see it's like you're trying to bend it and bend it bend it and then it pops and so there you go but uh as you know as you sit it on the shelf you know you you can't really tell and i like to say i i've got a couple you know but anyway it's just great to have another one in the coffer all right or collection whatever you might say all right that's it for me thank you for joining me and and once again hey if you want to know anything about jesus christ i'm your guy all right comment comment down below and we'll get you some information all right all right uh i'm outta here thank you for joining me i hope you guys have a great wednesday happy hump day and remember slow traffic keep right and have a great rover day | Rover Land | UCYP-HLSoblWClQVtrXrxxOg | 2022-07-13 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) |

too high where that can cause problems hypertension is the most common health problem in primary care hypertension can cause stroke mi kidney failure and death if not treated early or effectively so for people over 60 we want it below 150 over 90 people that are younger than 60 we want it below 140 over 90. there are four systems that play a major role in maintaining our blood pressure we have an arterial baroreceptor system this is where the arterial barrier receptors monitor the level of arterial pressure and counteract a rise in arterial pressure regulation of body fluids is another control system there are changes in blood volume and fluid volume that affect the systemic arterial pressure if the kidneys are functioning adequately a rise in systemic arterial pressure produces excessive voiding which will cause a fall in pressure the renin-angiotensin aldosterone system plays an important role in regulating blood volume and systemic vascular resistance together these influence cardiac output as well as arterial pressure then we have vascular autoregulation this refers to the intrinsic ability of an organ to maintain constant blood flow despite changes in blood pressure essential hypertension what do we know about essential hypertension there is no known cause okay it is also known as primary hypertension this is the most common type of hypertension and it results in damage to vital organs it causes a thickening of the arterioles common risk factors include obesity smoking stress and family history if you look on page 700 table 33.2 shows you an etiology of hypertension and on the left you have essential or primary hypertension and on the right you have secondary hypertension so again if there's no underlying cause that is obvious then it is known as primary hypertension if somebody has kidney disease or pregnancy or something like that or even drugs can induce hypertension but there's a known cause then it is secondary hypertension so again secondary high blood pressure secondary hypertension is caused by another medical condition malignant hypertension also known as hypertensive crisis is a medical emergency it is a severe type of elevated blood pressure that rapidly progresses and is considered a medical emergency symptoms include morning headaches blurred vision and dyspnea or symptoms of uremia the hypertensive crisis criteria is a systolic blood pressure greater than 200 and a diastolic greater than 150 or greater than 130 when there are pre-existing complications a patient in hypertensive crisis may experience kidney failure left ventricular heart failure and stroke unless treated promptly the etiology and genetic risk of hypertension african americans are more likely to have hypertension than others if somebody has hyperlipidemia they're older than 60 and they smoke good chance that they will have high blood pressure if they have one or all of those obesity and physical inactivity also are risk factors secondary risk factors would be kidney disease and again you can look at table 33.2 on page 70. excuse me 700. hypertension affects men and women it is a worldwide epidemic most people older than 20 have some form of hypertension and you can look at table 33.1 also on page 700 that goes over stage 1 and stage 2 you know how they categorize the different measurements so how do we combat hypertension and what do we need to be teaching our patients about well they're going to need to reduce their weight reduce their caloric intake and increase their exercise their activity if they are overweight they can follow the dash diet which is a diet high in fruits vegetables and low dairy we want them to reduce their intake of sodium for sure they need to be eating less than 1500 milligrams of sodium per day and they need to increase their physical activity which i mentioned they can do aerobic they can do resistance training or they can do isometric exercises how do we assess for hypertension very important that it's caught early a lot of people don't have any symptoms if they do have symptoms they may have dizziness or flushing they may have headaches you've probably heard of people who have a lot of headaches and they go and find out that they have high blood pressure we would do a funoscopic exam which is where you check the eyes for vascular changes in the retina you may also hear an abdominal brui if there is renal artery stenosis which would be caused by long-term hypertension psychosocially you know if people are very stressed often someone who's taking care of a loved one who is very sick may develop hypertension or or their hypertension can get worse sometimes students who are studying all the time and stressed out about school so we want to assess coping strategies and help people to do everything they can to reduce their stress to naturally reduce their hypertension in looking at labs and things there's not one lab that will tell you that somebody has hypertension mainly you want to take the blood pressure in both arms and the hypertension will be diagnosed after a series of blood pressures um so if somebody has high blood sugar blood pressure one time they're not going to be diagnosed with hypertension so either you know they come in the doctor's office and they have high blood pressure well then they come in in six months and they have it again or in three months or whatever and have it again um the doctor also may tell someone to take their blood pressure every morning and write it down and then over you know a period of time usually a month if it remains high the whole time they'll diagnose them with hypertension urinalysis you may see catecholamines there can be a tumor of the adrenal medulla which would cause catecholamines to be released and elevation and levels of serum corticoids and ketosteroids in the urine is also diagnostic of cushing disease which i think we touched on that but you will hear more about that next semester there's really there's no x-rays to show that you have high blood pressure but you could determine if somebody has an enlarged heart okay so some heart failure or signs of some cardiac problems um an ekg you the only thing you could really ascertain from that is um as far as blood pressure is just risk you know common um risk factors or things that are that could be um making the high blood pressure worse or vice versa okay um but an ekg is not going to show high blood pressure um and let's see um you're going to look for protein in the urine check the bu and creatinine for kidney function and of course we look at the red blood cells to determine the amount of oxygenation and how well our organs are being oxygenated when somebody has hypertension it can cause a problem with that if your blood vessels are constricted and the blood's not flowing as it should and you know your heart's having to work harder so there's not going to be the adequate oxygenation all the time that there should be page 702-705 talks about planning and implementation what are we going to do for these patients or clients the client with hypertension is expected to verbalize his or her individualized plan of care for high blood pressure including lifestyle changes complementary and integrative health on page 703 and 704 it goes over the medical management as far as using drug therapy for hypertension you have diuretics you have beta blockers calcium channel blockers angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors otherwise known as ace inhibitors and angiotensin ii receptor blockers were arbs so again that's on page 703 in your text there's a big big chart at the top expected outcomes for these clients we they are expected to adhere to the plan of care including making making necessary lifestyle changes they've got to take their medications and they've got to know what to do in the case of a hypertensive crisis and talking about home care management and self-management education we always want the patient and family to be involved in the plan of care as much as possible that increases their adherence to the plan of care especially when we're talking about taking medications and becoming more active watching sodium intake i mean all of those are they're going to be pretty major for somebody to do sometimes you have to kind of take one thing at the time and and help them you know get over one hurdle or make one goal so they'll go on to to do another thing you should never ask someone to quit smoking go on a diet you know and quit drinking beer all at the same time it's not going to happen i promise you okay we need to urge the patients to report any unpleasant side effects related to medication patients need to have a blood pressure monitoring device and you know they can pick that up easily at any pharmacy and they're not that expensive these days you can get them very expensive but you can get inexpensive ones as well and we want to make sure they understand about the sodium restriction weight management alcohol restriction stress management and exercise and that they need to stop smoking okay evaluating outcomes we want them to verbalize an understanding of the plan of care report adverse drug effects such as coughing dizziness or sexual dysfunction and consistently adhere to the plan of care including regular follow-up visits with the primary care provider what is arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis arteriosclerosis is a thickening or hardening of the arterial wall often associated with aging so we're naturally going to have some arteriosclerosis as we get older atherosclerosis is a type of arteriosclerosis that involves the formation of plaque within the arterial wall the leading risk factor for this is cardiovascular disease and if you look on page 707 table 33.4 you will see risk factors of atherosclerosis the pathophysiology including physical manifestations such as elevated blood pressure changes in the pulses we want to assess for prolonged capillary refill so how good is their peripheral perfusion and then assess for brewees so one thing to note is when we're talking about palpatine pulses never palpate both carotid arteries at the same time if you do your patient will pass out and you will freak out because that is blocking blood flow to the brain this is figure 33.2 on page 707 of your text and i really like these illustrations because it's so easy to see what the plaque does if you're not familiar with it so you see at the top there those are the little blood cells flowing through the normal artery they're just cruising through nothing's sticking there's no problems then when you have some plaque buildup some of that cholesterol and fat build up there you can see how narrow that blood flow has become whereas at one time it went you know totally through that artery touching the walls now we have it constricted so it's trying to make its way through the artery but it the artery then is not getting the oxygenation that it needs is it all right and then if you look at the bottom picture you can see where the fat has completely closed off the blood flow to the artery in doing your assessment i mentioned you want to take the blood pressure in both arms you want to palpate the carotid arteries but do it separately you want to look at capillary refill prolonged capillary refill indicates poor circulation if you hear brewey you may hear it in the carotids you may hear it in the abdomen a brewee is a turbulent swishing sound that can be soft or loud in pitch breweries often occur in the carotid aortic femoral and popliteal arteries so i wasn't thinking about for instance the femoral artery but you could also hear possibly hear brewey there it is more likely that as a nurse you will be listening maybe listening to the carotids but you often will see for instance a cardiologist will listen to all the different areas for for a brewery excuse me and of course we're going to look at the good and bad cholesterol so we can assess their risk factor for atherosclerosis interventions for these patients with arterial and atherosclerosis low risk people should have total serum cholesterol levels evaluated every four to six years when you get over 40 you're going to need to be evaluated more frequently especially if you have cardiac history in your family the modifiable risk factors things that we can change our nutrition activity and medication therapy medication therapy this is found on page 708 now this is medication therapy to lower cholesterol so the most common drugs prescribed are called statins and you have a whole list of them there lovastatin atorvastatin simvastatin flu statin there are a lot of different statin drugs and that's a good thing because a lot of people are allergic to them or i should say they have side effects that they can't tolerate a lot of people have bad muscle cramping in their legs i mean severe muscle pain where they will they won't take the statin i'll be like nope i'm done with that um you have acetaminophen and you have combination drugs which are acetamine with a simvastatin or a statin okay you also have pcsk9 inhibitors so the most important thing is that people need to make sure they are taking their cholesterol-lowering medications consistently and that they are going to call the provider if they have any of those really difficult side effects now we're talking about peripheral artery disease also known as pad this is a circulatory condition where your narrow your blood vessels are narrowed so it limits blood flow to the limbs so peripheral vascularly you're not getting a good circulation okay this includes disorders that change the natural flow of blood through the arteries and veins of the peripheral circulation causes decreased perfusion to the body tissues it affects the legs more than the arms it is a result of systemic atherosclerosis and about 8.5 million people in the u.s age 40 and older have pad it is really widespread african americans are affected more than any other group on page 710 you have figure 33.3 which shows you common locations of inflow and outflow lesions now a lesion what they mean by that is the blockage the blockage in the artery okay when they're talking about inflow these are people who have um pain or discomfort in their lower back buttocks or thighs when they're talking about outflow disease they're talking about pain in the calf feet in in the lower legs basically okay one of the keys to peripheral artery disease is called claudication where when your client is walking they'll notice that maybe they walk i don't know maybe they walk a couple blocks every day um and they're used to that well now all of a sudden they walk five minutes and they have a bad cramp in their leg they stop and rest it goes away they walk five minutes they get a bad cramp it's the same spot okay and so that that's one of the indicators of peripheral artery disease and sometimes it's an actual blockage sometimes it's a narrowing the stages of peripheral artery disease stage one is asymptomatic stage two is claudication three is rest pain in other words they're still having pain when they've stopped walking and then stage four would be necrosis and gangrene and if you look on page 711 you can see figure 33.4 and a necrotic toe there the chronic great toe okay and looking at signs and symptoms of peripheral artery disease if you notice hair loss the skin is usually dry and scaly pale and mottled toenails can be really thick you may see signs of poor circulation such as decreased capillary refill and of course some muscle atrophy gray blue or darkened skin okay the extremity also may be cold now dependent rubber means that let's say the extremity is cold and kind of um bluish maybe the tips of the toes are kind of blue but then when you sit the patient up and they dangle their feet on the side of the bed the bottom of their feet will be really red that is dependent ruber your diagnostic assessment is going to consist of an mra which is something that they use to assess the blood flow in the peripheral arteries segmental spv measurements so we use a doppler and assess blood pressure and the thigh calf and ankle the thigh calf and ankle will have a lower blood pressure than the brachial pressure in the arm if somebody has pad you all may have heard of the ankle brachial index abi this is the comparison of ankle pressure to brachial pressure so you actually take a blood pressure on the ankle and then compare the two exercise tolerance training by chemical stress or treadmill provides information about claudication so again it's it's just recreating that thing of them walking and after a certain amount of time they have pain they stop it gets better they start again and after the same amount of time they have pain again okay then there's something called plethomography which evaluates arterial flow in the lower extremities page 711-713 talks about our interventions for non-surgical management we want to talk about exercise and positioning promoting vasodilation drug therapy such as anticoagulation or antiplatelet agents percutaneous vascular intervention an arterial revascularization now the invasive non-surgical procedures they're used to diagnose and also to treat the arterial flow to increase the arterial flow in the affected leg okay so much like a heart catheterization where they inject dye and look at the arteries they can inject dye in the femoral artery and go down the legs as it's shown in figure 33.3 and kind of see where that would where the dye would flow and then they use the fluoroscopy to to see the um the lesions okay so on page 712 you have key features of lower extremity ulcers and you can see pictures of different types those of you who have been in clinical have seen some of these that one on the toe looks very familiar there that first picture as far as surgical management arterial revascularization is a surgical procedure that is used to increase arterial blood flow in an affected limb now what will happen with that is they will bypass the affected area okay so just like a coronary artery bypass they can do this in other areas of the body as well for instance they can do an a or a orto iliac bypass or an aorto femoral bypass in a bypass the artificial tubes or grafts are placed near a section of the blood vessel that is blocked or narrowed the graft creates a path so that the blood can move around the blockage in this case the grafts are placed on the aorta and the iliac or femoral arteries this figure shows an axillofemoral bypass graft this is on page 714 figure 33.6 and you can see that red tube on the right there going from the axilla all the way down to the femoral area when you have an acute peripheral arterial occlusion you're talking about acute limb ischemia so this is a medical emergency acute limb ischemia is defined as a sudden loss of limb perfusion for up to two weeks after an inciting event so this can occur in any peripheral artery of the upper or lower extremities an embolus is the most common cause of a peripheral occlusion and occlusions are more common in the lower extremities and discussing arterial insufficiency you may have heard of the six p's we're looking at pain power pulselessness paresthesia which is an abnormal sensation usually people describe it as pins and needles it's usually caused by pressure on or damage to peripheral nerves people may experience paralysis or poi kilothermia which is just coolness they just had to add one more p right the six p's treatment must be initiated properly to avoid permanent damage or loss of an extremity how are we going to treat this problem obviously again prompt treatment is necessary to prevent permanent damage or loss of the extremity they can perform a thrombectomy or embolectomy under local anesthesia that will remove the occlusion we want to monitor for compartment syndrome this occurs when tissue pressure within a convey confined body space becomes elevated and restricts blood flow this can lead to tissue damage and tissue death a client may have an aneurysm of a central artery a rupture is the most frequent complication and is life-threatening because of abrupt and massive shock results a client may have an arterial aneurysm this figure is 33.7 on page 717 these are common anatomic sites of arterial aneurysms so you see how they can be anywhere along any artery so up there in the shoulder that's affecting the brachial artery so they would have numbness in their arm down their arm that isn't as common as i said a few minutes ago it's not as common to have it in an upper extremity but it can happen assessing aneurysms of central arteries sometimes a patient is asymptomatic sometimes with an abdominal aortic aneurysm they have a gnawing pain they will be able to see a pulsation in the upper abdomen it's not detectable until it's at least five centimeters in diameter rupture symptoms are a severe sudden pain in the back lower abdomen and radiating to the groin buttocks and legs this is critical they are at risk for hypovolemic shock caused by hemorrhage recognizing cues again for a thoracic aortic aneurysm so this is in the thorax rather than in the abdomen back pain shortness of breath difficulty swallowing not often detective detected by physical assessment and they may have a mass above the suprasternal notch this is not very common a taa is not as common as in triple a and they are frequently misdiagnosed management is determined by the size of the aneurysm and the symptoms that it's causing non-surgical management a lot of times they monitor the growth and they may monitor it for years okay often an aneurysm won't change for years but they'll do frequent ultrasounds and cat scans to monitor it also maintaining a proper blood pressure okay that decreases the risk of rupture surgically they may have to go in sometimes it's an elective procedure and sometimes it's emergent if you have a triple a that's rupturing it's an emergency and it's called an aneurys aneurysmectomy say that three times fast aneurysms of the peripheral arteries are talked about on page 719 you don't want to palpate any mass that you see um if you see a mass and especially if it's pulsating don't don't mess with it symptoms are limb ischemia diminished or absent pulses cool to cold skin and pain um treatment is surgery and if there's any sudden development or of pain or extremity discoloration after surgery that could indicate they have popped another clot and the limb is ischemic again aortic dissection the aortic dissection is a medical emergency in which the inner layer of the large blood vessel branching off the heart the aorta tears it's most common in men in their 60s and 70s symptoms include sudden severe chest or upper back pain that radiates to the neck and down the back loss of consciousness and shortness of breath treatment includes surgery and medications such as beta blockers this is a highly lethal emergency situation page 719 talks about aneurysms of peripheral arteries your assessment will show sharp tearing ripping or stabbing pain that moves from the point of origin the patient's usually diaphoretic they're feeling pretty bad they are faint nausea and vomiting weak pulse very apprehensive and anxious decrease in pulses peripherally and aortic regurgitation may be heard interventions because this is an emergency surgery we're going to need two large bore ivs put in we're going to give normal saline and any medications ordered they're going to need a foley most likely and subsequent treatment will depend on where the dissection is occurring peripheral venous disease on page 720 this is a circulatory disorder in which the veins that carry blood from the hands and feet to the heart become damaged or blocked this can occur anywhere in the body however it most often affects the arms and legs and is commonly caused by a blood clot often caused by defective valves also if you have skeletal muscles that lack that contraction that helps to move the blood along in the right direction that can be a cause of peripheral vascular disease as well so the venous thromboembolis right this is vte is the current term that includes both deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolus if you look on page 720 there is a clotting concept exemplar on venus thromboembolus so a thromus is the blood clot okay the flemo thrombosis is a thrombus without inflammation thrombophlebitis refers to a thrombus that is associated with inflammation so just think of the thrombophlebitis is phlebitis there's going to be redness and warmth at the site okay inflammation um usually occurring in super superficial veins so you can see that redness and warmth the dvt or deep vein thrombosis is um it's the most common type of thrombophlebitis all right so you know we often talk about um if somebody has a dbt usually occurs in their calf and one of the things that we will see is redness and warmth or somewhere in the lower extremity but that will be something that the patient sees as well um as long as as well as the pain excuse me with the pe just in case you don't know a blood clot becomes dislodged and travels up through the vascular system and into the lungs where it becomes a pulmonary embolus virto's triad describes the three factors necessary for the formation of a thrombosis so for the formation of a blood clot you've got to have stasis of the blood that means sitting there pulling not going anywhere vessel wall injury and altered blood coagulation some risk factors predispose for venous thrombosis while others increase the risk of arterial thrombosis millions of people are affected by peripheral venous disease and unfortunately many people die from pulmonary emboli [Music] okay your assessment taken the patient's history have they ever had a blood clot before do they have or have they experienced um prolonged periods of sitting or bed rest have they recently had surgery or are there any other factors that could affect their coagulation which would make them more susceptible to a dvt or vte the padua prediction score this is the best available model for the assessment for the risk of vte it is meant to assess a risk not to diagnose all right so it just talks about the risk during the nursing assessment one point is given for each of these characteristics active cancer previous vte reduced mobility non-thrombophilic condition a recent surgery like in less than a month an older adult somebody over 70 cardiac or respiratory failure acute mi or ischemic stroke acute infection or rheumatologic disorder obesity and ongoing hormonal treatment a score of four or more indicates that dvt is likely to occur so the um pps scale is found on page 721 the patient may be asymptomatic they probably will complain of calf or groin pain and there may be an onset of leg swelling as well so to diagnose these patients we can do venous duplex ultrasonography which is an ultrasound of the veins in whatever extremity is being affected doppler flow studies and mri and the dimer test and our nursing diagnosis would be potential for injury due to complications of ete and anticoagulation therapy our non-surgical interventions would include patient education leg exercises early ambulation graduated compression stockings or ted hoes also scds which they would have in the hospital the sequential compression device venous plexus foot pumps and anticoagulant therapy surgically we can do a thrombectomy which is a surgical procedure where they remove the clot i think we talked about that earlier also there is such thing as an ivc filter that means inferior vena cava so they place a filter into the inferior vena cava this will prevent blood clots from moving through the blood into the lungs home care and self-management we want them to stop smoking we want them to avoid oral contraceptives these increase the risk of dvt so somebody has had dvts we don't want them taking oral contraceptives we want to give them instructions on self injections of heparin or lovenox whatever they're going home on give them coumadin education if they're on coumadin now they're going to need to avoid contact sports because of their anticoagulant therapy they also need to inform the dentist and any health care providers if they're taking anticoagulant therapy avoid high fat and vitamin k rich foods stay hydrated avoid alcohol and of course make sure they go for their follow-up appointments and lab draws you can have venus insufficiency where you don't have a clot but you have blood pooling because you have valves that aren't working properly you may have veins that are kind of stretched out because of prolonged hypertension this will cause leg edema and if you've ever seen somebody who has like a swollen calf and ankle area and their feet and then you can kind of see um some speckles or raised areas sometimes even or just little red marks around their ankles they can develop dermatitis where they become itchy and uncomfortable in that area the skin changes they can also actually get ulcerations um from those uh that blood just being static not moving okay non-surgical management unless it's complicated by a stasis ulcer obviously if there's an ulcer they may have to go in and debride it if it gets bad and that type thing varicose veins are usually not a problem unless they become really big um they can be painful and they can rupture but normally they are just protruding veins that are darkened and tortuous most people don't like the way they look and some people have a whole lot of varicose veins so treatment includes elastic compression hose exercise and elevation and that concludes our lecture on chapter 33 vascular problems thank you |

desPL3DSdrM | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=desPL3DSdrM | August 30, 2020 - Derrick Carbin - Discouraged Because of the Way | good morning church morning happy lord's day this is a real blessed day and i'm so happy to be here among you guys to worship you with you i am mindful that uh the worst concerns have been great so far and i'm really happy for demetrius here did a great job on the communion that was his first time doing that and i think he did a good job they say give credit where credit is due and then i give him credit for us i appreciate him for his growth and everything that he's doing for the lord and i pray that he the lord will continue to bless him uh in his life and i pray that he will bless each and every one of us you know the bible says today is the lord's day and i will rejoice and be glad in it the day is the lord's day and i will rejoice and be in glad in it we should thank god because he has been merciful to us and even though we are not meeting together person in person we're meeting on the zoom platform the bible says in john chapter 23 and in chapter 4 verse 23 and 24 but the hour is coming and now is when the true worshiper will worship the father in spirit and truth for the father is seeking such to worship him god is spirit and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth this means our hearts and our minds should be focused on the lord we are blessed to be able to use this zoom platform to come together as one body even though we are many members in different locations we are still the accuracy of the called our body christians are redeemed washed and cleansed in the blood of jesus christ the bible said in matthew 18 verse 20 for where two or three are gathered in my name i am there in the midst of them one of the simplest form of worship is just two or three but guess what the lord is in the midst of them one of the simplest form of worship and service is when they get back it is just being worshipped from god there has been time when captain i have been on vacation in remote areas where there wasn't the church of christ again so we worship together guess who was with us the lord was with us one of the simplest form to worship god is by yourself guess who will be in the midst of you the lord first peter chapter 2 verse 9 and 10 says but you are a chosen generation a raw priesthood a holy nation his own special people that you may proclaim the praise of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light who once were not a people but are now the people of god who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy so what is my point god would let the redeemed come before his throne of grace and worship him at any time in any place long as you worship him in in spirit and in truth but please don't get me wrong the best way to worship god is to worship him in the house of the lord now we are not allowed to do that right but i right now but i can't wait to get back to the building to see you guys to greet you guys to to do what we did before but we realized life has changed but nevertheless it's a blessing to be able to come together as one body as we're doing now let us pray heavenly father come before your throne of grace thank you for who you are for what you have done for us in our lives creators in your image and you allow us to be able to come to you in worship because we believe in your son jesus christ and we will watch the cleanse of our sins and we can approach your throne of grace as individual priests a holy nation that's presenting ourselves to you we pray that our worship to you will be acceptable and pleasing at any time we come before you in any way in any method long as we worship in spirit and truth brothers and sisters amen in jesus christ's name amen the title of this lesson is discouraged because of the way i don't have a zoom pleasant presentation for you this evening or this morning so i'm just going to use my notes but uh my lesson that i was presenting has changed throughout the week and i'll get into that a little bit later but it's the the title is discouraged because of the way uh please be working it's been a real tough week has ever been a time in your life when you have been discouraged for me i can say yes many times sometimes the role we travel is difficult and you get and it's a cause for discouragement everything will go smoothly all the time i think most of us can agree that some things in 2020 have been really discouraging the way of life has changed drastically in the year 2020. this pandemic is taking a toll on the whole world the sad thing about it is that the virus is not finished still going on it's still out there hundreds of wildfires are burning in california many people have lost their homes fires are still raging so my members was close to evacuation as they looked at the fire they could've been discouraged seeing the fire coming up over the hill in different places the gulf of mexico and the caribbean had twin hurricanes the biggest one that's known that's been documented laura the hurricane that hit texas and louisiana and that area has been one of the largest hurricanes that's documented in 150 years we just pray for everyone that was affected by that and we pray that things will be cleaned up and people can come back to a normal poor their lives i am going i'm not going to say too much about the political environment but it could get a little discouraging also 2020 has been a time of uncovering things that are being uncovered is discouraged hatred injustice is being uncovered which is discouraging brothers and sisters i must admit that this week has been pretty tough for me some of the things that's been happening all and all you know i'm getting upsetting and discouraging i must say i am angry please pray for me my mind is going through different things that i'm experiencing i have to hold on to the lord's hand to get me through these things there's an anger that is not sinful that that anger is sin god given and sin another anger is angry at unrighteousness and another anger is an evil and another anger is a bigotry when he came into the temple and he saw the money exchanges there he saw the desecration of the house of god and he saw the commercialism he was angry jesus said my father's house is not to be called household my father house is to be called house of prayer and you have made it a dead of thieves he drove him out he was angry again jesus came into the synagogue and on the sabbath day and there was a man with a slippery hand and the pharisees watched to see what he was going to do he said to the man with the withered hand stretched forth and jesus looked at the pharisee in the crowd with anger jesus was angry because of the pharisees through their bigotry and traditions they would hold back the work of god because of them and because they wanted things to be done their way and they couldn't see past themselves be angry and not seen let not the sun go down on your wrath ephesians 4 26-27 don't go to sleep holding grudges it's apt to destroy you during the evening hours stay and stay in god's word stay in prayer let go and let god that's what will bring us the peace from all the discouragement that will come in our lives that we face i've mentioned things will always go smoothly the children of israel face discouragement and sin so we don't sin when we get angry the scripture reading was taken from numbers chapter 21 verse 4 but imma read 21-4 numbers 21 4-9 we all familiar with this story remember what i had said before they journeyed the children of israel from longhorn by the way of the red sea to go around the land of eden and the soul of the people became very discouraged on the way and people spoke against god and against moses why have you brought us up out of egypt to die in the wilderness for there is no food and water and our souls loves loaves this worthless bread so the lord sent fiery serpents of multiple people and they bit the people and many people of israel died therefore the people came to moses and said we have sinned for we have spoken against the lord and against you pray to the lord that he will take away the serpents from us so moses prayed for the people then the lord said to moses make a fiery serpent and put it on a pole and it shall be that anyone is bitten when he looks at it shall live so moses made a bronze serpent and put it on the pole and so it was if anyone was bitten he looked at the bond serpent and lived god's path israel around edom and not through it he did not take him on the shortest route or the easiest road to the promised land instead he took him on a road towards the red sea they supposedly went north and across they could almost see the promised land but they noticed that when god told them to turn around it was going south because they couldn't go through eating because the king of eden wouldn't let them go through so they went they went south towards the dead sea took him away way out the way he didn't have to go back up so it was basically backtracking their trails and this made them really upset and they was discouraged and when the people realized that the landmarks that they saw was old print footprints and saying they were discouraged discouragement swept over them discouragement led them to impatient and impatient led them to crankiness and crankiness led them to rebellion it was angry like the forced fathers who died in the wilderness they began to verbally attack god and moses they questioned god's holiness and leading them all those years their grumbling was the rejections of god's grace and solvent plan the path god had chosen was one they despaired verse 5 said and the people spoke against god and moses the scriptures clearly admonish us to trust god's ways above our own especially when they leads us through the mind field of adversity proverbs chapter 2 i'm sorry psalms chapter 1 verse 6 says for the lord knows the way of the righteous but the way of the ungodly shall perish proverbs 14 says number verse 12 says it's a warning there's a way that seems right to man but his end is death isaiah chapter 55 verse 7 7-9 admonishes us it says the wicked forsake his way and the righteous man its faults let him return to the lord and he will have mercy on him and our god for his will he will abundantly pardon us for my thoughts or not your thoughts you know my ways your ways says the lord for as high as the heavens are higher than europe than in the earth so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts are higher than your thoughts so sometimes we don't understand what's going on and we can't relate to it but we have to rely on god's judgment in god's way there's a way to sing right command we have to trust god verse 7 says the people came to moses and they said we have sin for we have spoken against the lord and against you pray to the lord that he take away the fiery serpent by that time the serpents was all over they realized that they had sinned and they repented of their sins that's what we need to do repent of ourselves the same person they spoke against they asked him to pray for them to god god was demonstrating his power in his providence for close to over 40 years with that group of people somehow they lost their way we can't lose our way we need to focus on god no matter what we go through focus on the lord after they confess their sin moses prayed for deliverance of his people god did not take away the serpents but god told moses to make a blind serpent and fasten it to a pole so that all could see and if they and they would live look at a little description of the serpent the serpent was made out of bronze to represent judgment the serpent represents evil evil in the stain of death of the serpent this the sting of the serpent's death i'm sorry the sting of the serpent is death the death on the pole is raised up for everyone to see moses told the people they must look at the barn serpent if they want to live they had to go to the blind serpent to live they had to make an effort to go to see the serpent now note that the serpent in the wilderness in the desert with the hot sun if you looked at something that's shining in the distance like the brass probably was shining you wouldn't know what it is have you ever walked in a field or walked on the road and you've seen something shiny in the distance you didn't know what it was until you walked up to it as you were walking up to it you was hoping that it would be something of value that you had to go up to it just like these people of israel had to go up to the serpent they had to have faith to make the effort to go so you have to go through to yourself the brown serpent was a force shattering of the act of salvation of jesus christ on the cross parallel there i'd like to go in there more deeper i give a bible class a couple weeks from now and i would like to go to this lesson to go into it more deeper so it's it's a really interesting contrast that we have there jesus came to bring judgment to the world the only way man can live is to look to the one who took upon himself in the likeness of men and was lifted up on the cross to take away the sting of death upon himself if we look to jesus christ we shall live but we must look to him on his terms john chapter 3 verse 14 through 5 says and jesus said and uh and moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness even so the sort of man must be lifted up whosoever believed in him should not perish but have everlasting life jesus said if i be lifted up from the earth i'll draw all men to me john 12 32 jesus had to be lifted up in order to save humanity in order to save you and to save me from this corrupt and wicked world and from all sins jesus said in matthew chapter 11 27-30 all things has been delivered to me by my father and no one knows the son except the father no one knows no one does know the father except the son and the one whom the son wills to reveal jesus know the father jesus the father know the son in order to know the father and have a relationship with him you have to go to jesus and jesus has to reveal you to the father through the obedience of the gospel the death burial and resurrection of the son jesus christ to continue on that verse right there jesus says that come to me all you who labor in the heavy lady and i will give you rest he said take my yoke upon you and learn from me for i am gentle and lowly in heart and you shall find rest for your souls for my yoke is easy and my burns are light so we have to make an effort to come to jesus and learn of him just like the children of israel have to approach their blind bronze serpent in the desert make that effort to learn when you learn to react learning is bringing knowledge and information that you need in life brothers and sisters there's sometimes we travel down the road of life that might get a little discouraging things might not be going the way that we expect to go i was hoping that this lesson would be a little more encouraging as i started off with the lesson but so much was been going on last week this last week that this caused me to as rex would say go down the rabbit hole there's so much information in the in numbers chapter 21 and all the verses that i said it just had me going all over the place and then my feelings and my emotions got involved but as i lean on god's hand and i hope that all of us do that we can see the strength that we can gain from him and it's to reach our hearts and our minds and we can make a difference towards each other and towards the lord some things happen our own doing we do it ourselves when we get in trouble some things happens or that are not by our doing we have to deal with that god will lead us by his way and we must understand his ways and don't go against god remember what god said for my thoughts or not your thoughts your your ways my ways said the lord for as high part of heaven or higher the higher as the earth so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than yours the war the whole world is going through the wilderness of the cobic 19. some of us might be going through the wilderness the wilderness of discouragement some of us might be going through the wilderness of health problems some of us might be going through the wilderness of unemployment some of us might be going through the wilderness of drug and alcohol recovery some of us might be mourning the loss of a loved one all of us in some type of wilderness we are in our own personal willingness but we need to look to jesus to take care of us there's a song that says god will take care of you goes equal and effort in my mind to give me stability in my life to give me courage to keep on moving on and facing the things that i face in my life i know god will not give up on me i know he's not gonna give up on us he always have a way to bring us to the point in our life where we can see him working you open up your eyes you can see him there he has blessed us with so many things in our life and we need to recognize that rebelling against god we will lose god has blessed us and he has sent our son jesus christ into this world to be that yolk that we need to attach ourselves to so we can make through the struggles that we might have in our life brothers and sisters thank you for your time in your ears like i said i wanted to be more of a positive message but i hope it was you got something out of it but as we go on we must remember that the lord is our shepherd we share in our walk the lakers make us lay down in green pastures he restores our soul he leads us in the path of righteousness for his name sake yay so i walk through the shower valley of death i should not fear no evil for you are with me and your right they come from me you prepared the paper before me in the presence of my enemy and my cup running over and surely i should enjoy the house a lot better very derek version of according to switch but you understand what i'm saying psalms 23 and that's what's need to be embedded in our mind learn of the lord he will take care of us the invitation is for those just like jesus said to come to him who will weary and heavy laden and he will give you rest so take his yoke upon you and learn from him so hopefully we have learned something today that causes us to look at jesus and cause us to realize who he is and how he can get us out of the predicament of the mess in our life the big mess that we have in our life is sin and jesus can wash that sin away through baptism we might be angry we can watch that anger away but it still is present when something else come up or we can look to jesus for peace we can have sweet rest at nighttime and give it to him if you would like to become a member of the body of christ you'd be washed and clean and water baptism thank you for your patience and your understanding and please pray for me as i pray for you thank you for your years | East Foothill church of Christ | UCjKMPEoHQ5MHP65FFup_H6g | 2020-08-31 | Creative Commons

DtkRGbTp1s8 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtkRGbTp1s8 | Brain: Parts & functions (Fore, mid & hind) | Control & Coordination | Biology | Khan Academy | has your brain ever wondered what the parts of the brain are and what are their functions well that's basically what we're going to talk about in this video so what you're looking at is a section of your brain and to make sense of this let's say you could see someone's brain from the top then you would be able to see the two hemispheres like this don't worry this is not a brain this is just a walnut it looks very similar to the brain but let's say these are two hemispheres now imagine you cut this walnut and then you look at the inside side of this one and you would see something like this right the inner side of one of the halves well that's basically what we're looking at it's the inner side of one of the hemispheres okay so let's get rid of that and look at the different parts we can broadly divide our brain into three parts the forebrain which is this big yellow section the midbrain which is this tiny pink section and the hindbrain or the lower brain which is this blue section usually when we say humans have big brain we're basically talking about this forebrain section okay and then the mid brain is actually the beginning part of the brain stem brain stem is brain stem is on top of which the forebrain sits the brain stem connects the forebrain to the spinal cord this continues as the spinal cord so the beginning section of that brain stem is what we call as the midbrain and then the lateral section of the brain stem is a part of the hindbrain right this is the hindbrain and the hindbrain also consists of this section you know this itself looks like a mini brain all by itself but that and the remaining portion of that brainstem is basically what we call the hindbrain okay so what are the functions of them before we get into the details to get a broad sense of what these parts do we can think that the forebrain is responsible for all the voluntary functions and the midbrain and the hindbrain together are responsible for all the involuntary functions so when i say voluntary think about all the actions that you carry out consciously by thinking about them like to take a walk or maybe to talk to someone or decide to watch this video about brains so all of that is from your forebrain and of course we'll talk more details about that in a second and when i say involuntary functions there are some functions that are happening in your body which are not in control which you're not in control of for example your heart beating or maybe your digestion you're not in control of those right so those are mostly taken care by your midbrain and the hindbrain so how do we remember which part does which well the way i like to think about it is i remember that you know what makes humans special is their big brain big forebrain and i remember that we have this amazing intellectual ability right our intelligence so forebrain gives us our intelligence so it's because of that i can do all my thinking and all my decisions and also i can walk and talk because of this so that's how i basically remember forebrain controls voluntary actions with this in mind let's look at the functions and the parts in a little bit more detail so let's zoom out a little bit and i've made some space so that we can write more parts so let's start with the forebrain if you look at the forebrain you can again kind of see two sections of it the outer section which contains a lot of folds and the inner section let me shade that intersection a little bit darker so we can identify that so the outer section right this big giant outer section it's called it's called let me call that it's called the cerebrum cerebrum sorry the cerebrum this whole outer section which i have colored with light yellow is the cerebrum and we're not going to look at further parts of that okay so that's the outer section for us if you look at the inner section we're going to look at three parts of the intersection okay one part which is over here so let me put an arrow mark like this then one part which is a little below that which i'm gonna write over here somewhere okay wait a second yeah let me write that over here and this small thing that you can see that one these are three parts that we need to remember at least for our syllabus okay so this one you know what we call that that is called the thalamus let me use this color okay it's called the thalamus and these are all greek names okay so it will not make sense to us but i looked up thalamus kind of means an inner portion or inner region and that's basically what this is right it's the inner region of our forebrain so the com that the the part that comes below that is called hypothalamus so the next part is hypothalamus and hypokine of means lower so it's the lower part of the thalamus hypothalamus and this last part which we'll be interested in this one this small thing that you can see over here that is called the pituitary gland pituitary gland right this part over here okay so these are the four parts of our forebrain so these are the only parts that we'll concentrate on so let me just put them together so this is your forebrain parts all right so what do they do what are their functions we don't have to look at the individual functions we don't have to do that but the forebrain as a whole what does it do well one of the things like we already said voluntary functions but again let's dig a little deeper what does it do a lot of the things that you can think of is thinking right and when i say thinking i'm including a lot of things over here because there's not much space thinking your learning ability your speech language all of that all of that comes from your forebrain but what else to think about what else your forebrain can do take a look at this picture the reason you are able to see this is because of your forebrain you may be wondering wait it's my eyes right it's eyes but the eyes send the signal to the brain and it's your forebrain that does the processing and that's why you can see it similarly you can hear me right now because of your forebrain all the five senses you can sense them because of your forebrain and so one important function of your forebrain is sensing let me just write that as sensing okay what else well you identified this picture right it's a puppy did you confuse it with something like maybe a donkey or tiger no the reason you can even remember it's a puppy is because of your memory because you know what puppies look like and you can associate with it so that also comes from your forebrain memory learning all of that comes from your forebrain now when you looked at this puppy some kind of emotion came in right like you may have felt oh what a cute puppy you may have felt happy looking at it maybe if i showed you some different picture maybe if i showed you some scary picture you you experience fear right so all the emotions they too come from your forebrain all your emotions including love that's right love does not come from the heart it comes from your forebrain in fact fun story the other day my wife asked me hey how much do you love me i said i love you with all my forebrain yeah she hasn't spoken to me since but it was worth it all right now besides these there are also other things that the forebrain does some of the feelings that you get like for example the feeling of hunger the feeling of being sleepy thirst or maybe you know after you have finished a meal the feeling of fullness all of that also comes from your forebrain actually that comes from this part of the forebrain but we don't have to remember all those things so these are some of the functions of your forebrain so what's next we're not going to look at the parts of the midbrain it's a tiny section we'll not look at its parts so let's jump directly to the hindbrain if you look at this brain stem over here the bluer section you can actually see two distinct regions over there so one region one lump over here and one more here right so this one this one let me use a different color right so this one over here it's called pons that's the name given to it pons again i know little weird name uh it's latin again it means bridge it's kind of like bridging between the middle brain and this bottom part that brings us to this bottom part which is pretty important for us the bottom one is called let me write that over here it's called medulla medulla oblongata okay we're going to look at its functions separately and then you can look at this big region let's make it dark so we can see that so this region which kind of looks like a brain on its own is called cerebellum [Music] do not confuse that with cerebrum cerebrum is the biggest part of our brain cerebellum that's the name given to this so these three regions these three regions are going to be the part of our hindbrain so these are hindbrain and since we're not going to look at the parts of the midbrain this is it this is all the parts that we need to remember so again what are the functions of the hindbrain we already saw it's involuntary but let's look at the individual one let's look at medulla oblongata and the cerebellum these two are important for us so what does the medulla oblongata do well again it controls most of the life-giving involuntary processes okay so um we'll say life giving involuntary processes in i'll just write involve okay involuntary processes that means these are the most essential for life like your heart beating your breathing digestion all of those essential things are taken care by your medulla oblongata along with that it also controls some of your reflexes now if you've studied about reflexes before you may be wondering hey isn't that controlled by your by your spinal cord yes some of them are controlled by the spinal cord but some of the reflexes like you're sneezing coughing those are controlled by your medulla oblongata all right the idea is the reflexes are not controlled by your sinking part of the brain none of the reflexes are controlled by the forebrain that's why they're even called reflexes but the medulla does control some of your reflexes as well so these are the two major functions of the medulla okay what about the cerebellum it's getting a little crowded i hope you can see them apart so again i'm going to put some division over here anyways so what does cerebellum do well cerebellum also has some involuntary function was a little different one of its function is to maintain balance balance now what i mean by this is if you want to do even the simplest of the simplest tasks like walking or maybe holding a cup this thing requires careful calculation coordination you to think about where the gravity is and all of those stuff right if you try to build a robot it's then you actually see how complicated those things are but we do it with ease that's because of our cerebellum because it is the one that maintains balance and along with that another major function is motor memory motor memory what's that well think of riding a bicycle with the first time when you were trying to learn the bicycle you were using a lot of your forebrain you were learning you're learning to get balance you were learning how the pedal works you're learning maybe how to do the triggering and everything you all those things you're learning but once you learn that once you've done enough practice now when you want to ride your bicycle you don't even think about it we say it's it has become our second nature right all things happen automatically how it's the cerebellum it's this that's what we call as motor memory another example could be let's say when you're typing on a keyboard if you have enough enough practice you don't have to look down anymore you don't have to worry about which keys are where it just automatically happens motor memory so all those things are controlled by the cerebellum and you know how i can remember this i remember this uh by remembering that you know when people drink alcohol it's their cerebellum that gets affected think about it if your cerebellum gets affected your balance gets affected and that's why people who are intoxicated they can't balance themselves they will be walking funny and everything they may no longer be in a position to ride a bicycle it's actually one of the reasons why we say don't drink and drive because your motor memory gets affected so even the most basic things that initially usually we think it's easy for us to do like while driving that gets affected all right so that's how i remember uh the functions of the cerebellum all right so finally you may weren't wondering what about the midbrain so this is our midbrain right we're not going to look at the parts of the midbrain midbrain also controls some of the involuntary functions for example when you shine light in your eyes your pupils become smaller that is controlled by your midbrain so the midbrain also controls some of your involuntary functions but we're not going to look at that and this is pretty much it for us now since this screen itself contains the entire summary why don't you try pausing the video and then revise and then see if you can recall all the parts and the functions without looking | Khan Academy India - English | UCg4BkaHyyE_4-RvEMJ2PTtA | 2019-09-13 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata |

ORSvUCDGRno | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORSvUCDGRno | Outriders Worldslayer DLC Review - Is Worldslayer Worth The Price? | so my beautiful people i am back with another outriders video and today guys i'm going to give you my honest opinion on the world solaire dlc if i think it's worth the money is it worth you partying with those pretty that was pretty dullest well today as you guys know i don't hold back i'm going to give you guys my honest opinion on it how's it going people my name is dpj if you enjoyed the video leave a like really helps out and if you like what you see i want to see more writers be sure to subscribe okay so the outright is dlc's you know what what's the date today it's the first first of july my birthday in three days people i am getting old [ __ ] but yeah it's been i well i've had it since the 28th i did i've actually had early access i had it a week before but i wanted to hold back on playing i didn't want to play a week early because i know when you're playing it within that week early you get to experience a game on those servers where no one else is basically hugging them so it feels much much better so i thought you know i'm gonna wait until the 28th where i get to play the pre-order early access um and then i'm gonna play a couple days after the game is being released as well just to see when everyone's on it if servers hold out and the game started i mean you pay your pre-order you get two days early but we had about a day and a half early because the service just couldn't hack it whenever was trying to get it on for that to be on an early access but so that was a bit of a shame kind of let down there but to be honest since then been on with my pals not the best of connections as well in regards to their internet connections but once we've been together we've hardly had any issues whatsoever so connectivity wise multiplayer connectivity is a million times better and probably what you remember it was back in the early days about riders i mean it's for me not the lights flawless i don't have no stuttering i ain't being kicked none of that so yeah it's flawless so what about the content what do we have so the story itself i ain't gonna spoil nothing i ain't gonna show you no end game well she'll probably show you a little bit of in-game footage uh while i talk about it but the story itself for me was relatively short i mean i soloed it and did it in about two two and a half hours three hours tops maybe probably died once i know yes my build's good not the best but it's good i can survive a lot of damage so yeah it's probably helped me a lot but it's quite good i mean it's that generic outriders cheesy madness i mean if you like that from the the initial from the start uh when it first come out if you like the story then you're probably gonna like this i did i'm not gonna lie i like that cheesy [ __ ] i like that over-the-top [ __ ] so yeah it was the story's fine i mean it's a little short but i think what this dlc is it's more focused on end game and giving the player the end game farmer what they actually wanted so in game what do we have so we have a new activity called the trial of tire guitars i don't even know people don't even know it's based in this right here it's a where you go through this door in front of me as you can see where's the door the door is there this is where it starts so you go through there and you have all of this all of these you can actually do every single one of these things these rooms and some of them have dedicated loot drops as you can see there rewards to gain a boots from this one um others have dedicated two i think this one might have one here or that maybe not this one here helmets what about this one a pants we have arm body armor so yeah you can actually get a full set if you want to farm dedicated things you can which is cool so yeah you can through one run you can do all of these rooms but i will warn you you have basically three attempts after your lives to clear out all of these and it does take an absolute age to do that i've done it twice i believe it took us way over now probably two hours and probably was that first couple of wins i'm not gonna lie but it was fun it's that outriders end game you're probably used to millions of ads just bombarding you at once um what what did let me down is the boss in here i mean there's a couple individual buses there's a surfer dude there's a guy with a spear there's a few decent buses but the main bus is basically a reskin of an early bus i'm not going to spoil it for you um but yeah he's basically a skin same dude he's got extra couple plates of armor on with his new sets basically the same does the same thing probably a little bit harder than the first time you meet him in this area in this uh activity but besides that i mean it's okay it's not what i expected i'm not gonna lie i expected more but it's still quite the it's still decent it's not bad it's not poor it's still decent uh expeditions are still here all the expeditions still got decent loot too so you don't have to uh just stick to this you can go back and do expeditions and earn the new uh new apocalypse here which is basically gear which has three mods on it which i'll show you in a second um but hey we've got a new end game it drops a loot you kill things you get plenty of loot from it and what else can i say well i was gonna say individual rooms here full of enemies you just kill and you just progress on it's as simple as that it's basically what expeditions are just a bigger version of it um but yeah it's still quite good i'm not gonna lie i quite liked it i really did but hey so what else do we have what else does this dlc offer well it offers a ton of new loot a ton of new loot guys um now obviously we get new legendaries plenty of them uh but the new loo in regards to apocalypse is what i'm talking about here apocalypse gear now has three mudslides on it so as you can see here my apocalypse actually got to my helmet my helmet i'm actually quite proud of it's great my anomaly build but as you can see this is an apocalypse legendary called the fondue stalker looking badass and as you can see guys we have a third mudslide at the bottom that mud slot is locked in place you can't not change that third one that's highlighted in gold there but that does drop random so you can get this helmet drop again it will have a different perk there but it was locked in place can change one of the other two as you could before but what this does is it just means that when it comes to building there's a whole host of other combinations of possibilities available here a whole host of them guys tons of them um these new legendary armor sets as well i think there's two for each character as well as a couple of universal uh armor sets which is actually this one your stalker is a part of uh so is this right here the helm of the martyr which is another one i've got i'm quite proud of that as well great for what i'm using here uh in regards to weapons i don't think i've got any new ones on me um but there are quite a few new legendaries in the game some badass ones as well i can actually show you a couple of the mods i think let me have a look actually i might have a new one in my in my stash here no i don't i'll just keep a mustache clear because when you run through the new trials you get so much sleep you get so much loot it's unbelievable well hey there's loads of new mods guys there's loads of new um weapons some you know the weapons look so good in this game as well as you know as you can see here i've actually unlocked quite a few of the new armor pieces but here you can see there's still quite a few i haven't actually got yet i haven't actually got yet so all these lock mods these are part of new um armors which i haven't had yet uh weapon wise have a quick look i can show you and you can see here there's quite a few of these i've actually had four or five new legendary armors uh a weapon sorry dismantle them to get that that gear to get the mod slot but yeah there's still quite a few i haven't got still quite a few i haven't got and a lot of um i mean if you played it's like well if you haven't played for ages a lot of these mods some of the beastly ones like fortress have been nerfed some of us have been buffed a lot of changes here guys so just gonna be it's gonna be a lot different um if you haven't if you took a a big a big chunk of this game i know a lot of people delight myself i haven't played this for months i come back and so much has changed fortress has changed morning winds has changed a lot has changed a lot has been added so yeah there's also four new exhibitions they added earlier on as well before the dlc if you haven't played since like i said to start there's an extra four expeditions as well what else is there well it's also guys new levels a new level in the system a complete new leveling system so in regards to your class leveling we have uh your standard audrey which is this we also have a new skill tree called the pax which is basically this adds on to your existing tree so i've got an anomaly i mean this is just absolutely brutal guys what i'm doing here this perk here guys check this out spectral spike damaging skills having 100 chance to deal additional damage equal to 15 of your anomaly power i mean this is a change i mean my build is a spinny spinny tickle tickle i mean it's it's brutal uh it's pal it's i wouldn't say it's powerful compared to what it can do top tree tricksters will know you can do way better in regards to damage um way better than what i can do but this changes um the anomaly builds this makes you be capable of so much more damage it's unbelievable i have another tree here as well i mean i'm going to watch what my plan is i'm going to level up first i'm going to unlock everything first before start search for and building different builds for now though i'm going with my build i actually ended the game with ages ago i've come back into it still works fine for me it's carried me through a lot of these activities so yeah i'm just going to stick with that until i get to end and end the end game where i've got access to all the highest level gear then i'm going to start building again but hey the new skill trees are there we also have guys ascension which is basically a new means to make your character even more powerful you get 200 points here in total i've only got 28 so far it basically means you can level up every one of these to a 10 they go up to a 10 max but this one's anomaly so i'm obviously working on this first we have brutality i mean you can see what these things do guys let's make your character so much more powerful so much more powerful so yeah disease as well but you know the disappointing thing about these is you ain't limited here so at the end of the day everybody's going to have this to a level 200 and they probably should give you say 75 points so you could spend here then everywhere so not everybody's the same in that regard but hey it is what it is it is what it is now do you guys remember the tiers so we had wheel tears and that but that's all changed now so we have now guys apocalypse tears now what is a top level is it 24 yes it's 24 in it's not 24 so my bad is 40. it's 40 in total so yes basically this is an age level up it takes an age to level up but when you get to a level 40 i'm pretty sure uh gear here will be a level 70 level 70 gear i'm currently now guys i'm about level 52 but obviously all the um 54 sorry all the all the enemies scale up the loot drops scale up the effing scales up guys so yes there's quite a lot to grind for a quiet luck now i've played probably between five and ten hours um i'm at a tier 20 but don't get it twisted this started off you started off at world tier 15. if it was on the world 2015 before that's where you will be i believe so yes i'm basically coming up to my fifth tier so far since the dlc and i played it quite a lot so there's a lot there guys so yes i mean the dlc for me is it worth the money as someone who liked outriders before i liked what it offered in regards to the build the building in the game the weapon combinations the uniqueness to this uh the loot and that in this game i think it is worth the money yes 35 dollars whatever is 30 quid i mean you can get some games for that but hey i mean money is relative man you spend i know i went to the cinemas and spent 20 pounds on the pick a mix i could have gone to azure and got that for about two pound well i'm gonna get a lot of enjoyment out of this so i think the money for me is definitely worth it uh but hey it just takes a grind the game's a grind that's not going to change if that's your thing you want to build you want to show you guys you know you guys know you know what outriders is you know this is just the worst flavor it's just outriders androids it's just it's just bigger it's just bigger there's a lot more to do now in regards to that loot and building and this and the other i'm kind of disappointed with the new trials i mean i'm hoping that gets a few changes it gets a few rotations in there but other than that it is at riders it's just bigger and better that's exactly what it is so if you enjoyed it before you're probably going to enjoy it now if you got bored of it quickly before um you probably will get bored quickly now i mean there's not much has changed in regards to what is what's on offer here it's just more of it a lot more of it so yes do i think it's worth it i do and there we have it guys guys if you enjoyed the video leaving a like really helps out if you like what if you want to see more at riders be sure to subscribe and hopefully my beautiful people i will see you on that next you | DPJ | UCqheS9rd4_nojHk3H-FR2XQ | 2022-07-02 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse

B8677g_MeUI | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8677g_MeUI | UNCENSORED Lily Cade Transphobic Manifesto | [Music] for those of you who do not know the united kingdom is often referred to as turf island and you hear you might have heard that term around you might not know what that actually means especially if you're trans you already know what this means if you're plugged into trans communities you probably already know what this means but in case you don't know what that means the reason why the uk is frequently referred to as turf island is because a a certain ideology has taken hold um of a lot of the uh uh upper echelon liberal institutions in the united kingdom and that is the ideology of trans-exclusionary radical feminism this is a a type of feminism that essentially asserts that trans people are not the gender that they claim they are now this ideology believes that there is something essential to the quality of being a woman that womanhood is not as previous feminists have uh have sort of come to understand a a social role that is imposed upon you by a patriarchal system no instead they view being a woman as something inherently biological and just for those of you who hear that and go um that doesn't exactly that's not clicking for me when we talk about sex and gender we're talking about two different things gender is a big collection of self-expression societally expected roles um the roles that you that you fulfill etc etc that is gender gender is the social aspect of um of our lives it's uh it's it's being called a woman it's being called a man it's being non-binary it's being uh agender it's all of these different things are are wrapped up in gender and gender is very complicated and very social okay there's a reason why um like feminine men are treated poorly in our highly gendered society it's because they are seen as not doing gender correctly now of course this is absurd because with something so uh huge as gender the reality is that everybody expresses gender differently and that there are many ways to underst understand masculinity femininity manhood and womanhood and um the sort of current uh viewpoint of of of a lot of gender uh thinkers people who write about gender and who are talking about gender is that gender is a a totally social construct that has some very tenuous ties to our biology sex is what we talk about when we're talking about biology and of course there are problems in talking about about sex as a binary as well so what you often hear is that there is a gender and sex binary by people who are anti-trans they will say there are there is man and there is woman and that is it there is male and there is female this is not true and when i say it's not true i don't mean that it's a mat just a matter of interpretation it is simply categorically untrue gender expression has never in the history of the world been just man and just woman ever sex has never been just x y and just xx there are intersex people a lot of them there are more intersex people in the united states than there are redheads there are more trans people in the united states than there are redheads and yet we recognize that being a redhead is a true hair color wreck do you see where we're getting with this the idea of a gender or sex binary is false it is false it is not true so um what what people say when they say oh you can be a man or you can be a woman there's only two genders or whatever when they actually say that yes that's actually true yes that's actually true um and when people uh when people say this about uh gender and sex what they're doing is they are um they are telling you that they have an ideology that they believe that you are violating okay and this is where turfism comes in trans-exclusionary radical feminism a feminist and allegedly feminist movement that basically says if you don't fit their arbitrary highly essentialist view of of of womanhood then you are not a woman in their mind and as you can tell this is kind of like well that seems kind of weird isn't it doesn't it seem kind of weird to cut people who are identified by society as uh as women uh people who are treated as women legally in many cases um isn't it weird to treat them not like women seeing as how the way that people are oppressed because of their femininity or womanhood in patriarchy is social you know so for example let me give you an example of this let's say that i go outside if i walk outside right now uh i i pass if i don't tell anybody people think that i'm a woman be because they see that i have long hair and they see that i talk like this and i usually have you know piercings in my nails painted i have some of those feminine signifiers that people erroneously associate only with femininity and as a result because i am seen that way people treat me with the same systemic discrimination that women face that cis women face this is why we say not only is this is one of the reasons why we say trans women are women the other reason is because we acknowledge that womanhood is a very complicated thing to define if you ask 100 people what a woman is you will get a you will get a hundred different answers and because of that we recognize that womanhood is largely and manhood for that matter all of gender is largely a matter of self identity and relation to the societal milieu does that make sense i hope everyone's keeping up with me right now now of course turfs trans-exclusionary radical feminists uh reject this view but they don't just reject this view they they reject the idea that trans people are legitimate at all and instead they believe that there is a number of things varying on from somewhat understandable to completely conspiratorial um for example one thing that's very common in turf also known as gender critical gender critical is what a lot of turfs call themselves these days because they don't like the term turf they don't like the idea of trans exclusion they don't like being called out for being trans exclusionary they call themselves gender critical and a lot of gender critical people genuinely believe that all trans people are inherently mental mentally ill just because they understand their gender differently than what the gender-critical the turfs um say that you should which i think is absurd i think that's not even a reasonable way of understanding mental mental health um you know mental illness isn't when you disagree with something that society does well we'll get to that but uh it's it's when you are unhappy and you are hurting um and and it's really wild so there's been a lot of drama about this uh this this rising um trans-exclusionary radical feminism specifically in the united kingdom and the reason for this um there's a lot of reasons for this but one of the reasons for this is because the conservative leaning um institutions in the uk have been very favorable to tran to trans exclusionary um messaging okay so what you've seen is a lot of bbc mass media uh stories about trans people that don't hold up to journalistic standards they don't actually fact check them and it's quite ridiculous we've seen a this has been an ongoing issue for years and that is why uh you will see the united kingdom referred to as turf island very frequently because there is a a plethora of publications that are willing to publish some of the most ridiculous unscientific and patently untrue things about trans people things that wouldn't be published for any other group and that's what brings us to what we're going to talk about today which is the bbc platforming someone who just days later went wrote a manifesto an anti-trans manifesto okay and i've been thinking right now as to whether i wanted to read the original article first or whether i wanted to read you bits of the um of the manifesto and i think we're going to start with the manifesto because this manifesto is really the the the it's the real icing on the cake this manifesto that we're about to go over was created by a uh a performer an adult performer by the name of lily cade lily cade is a famous a a quite famous lesbian uh adult filmmaker um and uh and uh who's been you know relatively well known um for some time however lily cade uh is a vocal vocal anti-trans uh anti-trans agitator uh lily kade has written anti-trans things for quite some time and lily kade has uh some severe sexual assault allegations in her past and it's strange to me that somebody who uh admitted to sexual assault by the way who admitted to this um while being an adult film filmmaker which is all is like what the [ __ ] um also uh was was uh was was sort of invited to uh to to give their opinion as if their opinion was qualified on trans people okay so real real quick the first thing i want to talk about here before we get too far off into into this into this subject um is i want to talk about just very briefly the original article uh that that uh started all of this because there's some really really in there's some really really interesting stuff in it and i want to show you what this article looks like and then we're not going to read the whole thing we'll go back and revisit it after we've read the manifesto but real quick first let's uh let's get this up uh let's put this down here here okay there we go okay this is the title of the article this was published on the 26th of october so very free this is this episode is being recorded on the 3rd of november so very recent article okay we're being pressured into sex by some trans women and just so you know this is in the news segment this is not listed under uh under editorials this is under the uk news segment okay this is a pretty major headline to run especially in a world in which we already know that it is an objective fact that trans people suffer from significant discrimination so we're talking about one of the biggest and most reputable news organizations in the world the bbc a public news organization which has not has has carelessly been willing to publish an article that implies that trans people are pressuring people into sex i think this is pretty bad to begin with but as we get into the article you will see that this is uh uh is is even even more uh fear-mongering and ridiculous than than you could uh possibly imagine jenny is a lesbian woman she says she is only sexually attracted to women who are biologically female and have vaginas she therefore only has sex and relationships with women who are biologically female jenny doesn't think this should be controversial but not everyone agrees she has been described as transphobic a genital fetishist a pervert and a turf a trans-exclusionary radical feminist this is the first paragraph of this article and and the weird thing about this is there's a lot of conflation of language right so she talks about somebody who has to be genetically female biologically female and have a vagina which is a bit you know okay whatever that like if you got your own personal preferences okey dokey but you're just you're broadcasting these preferences to the world at the beginning of an article and your preferences are nonsensical you have to look at what people say when they say their their preferences right so what if you met a woman who had a vagina and you were hitting it off really really hard with her and you go home and you have a great time and you you maybe keep you know maybe you you keep seeing each other and you have lots of sex and you're really enjoying it and her vagina is great and then you find out it's a neo vagina are you is that is that really rational to say wow wait a minute i i had this whole time with somebody who had a neo vagina and then i found out they were trans and then that's that's bad even though i enjoyed myself i enjoyed the person i enjoyed their the sex with them we had a great time together but because they're trans they i i can't do it anymore isn't that very weird isn't that very weird but here's where here's one that gets even weirder okay what happens if you go out on a date with somebody and they have a vagina and and you enjoy their vagina and you have a great time and you get together and all this stuff happens you get married and you go to have kids and you can't have kids for some reason and then you go and you get a genetic test and it turns out that the girl that you've been dating was intersex are you gonna break it off then are you gonna is that is the rule going to apply then doesn't it seem like what they're actually saying is i don't like trans people and i think that they're men instead of saying i don't like i'm not attracted to some people who happen to be trans in the same way i'm not attracted to some people who happen to be cis isn't it very strange that people put all these things on there when basically what they're trying to say what they're what they're what they're saying is in code essentially they're saying i need somebody who has these they'll never check and you can call their bluff right because i guarantee you that none of these people has ever had their partner undergo a genetic test i bet they've never undergone a genetic test so they might not even be biologically female for all they know what if they woke up one day and it turns out they were intersex the whole time isn't that going to be a bit weird do you see how these things start to break down when they're when they're questioned these statements are strange and while i will agree that like i would say that the way this is worded is somewhat transphobic in my opinion um like somebody having genital preferences alone is not in and of itself transphobic i i don't get it because i think both [ __ ] and [ __ ] are awesome i think they're great i like both they're [ __ ] good and everything in between i think there's all kinds of of of of cool [ __ ] that people do with their genitals that's super awesome and i don't care i i care about the person like completely now not everyone's like that i get it if some people are um if some people are really into [ __ ] or they're really into [ __ ] okay that's fair i get it you know what but don't be a dick about it just because you specifically like [ __ ] doesn't mean that trans people aren't that trans women aren't women or that trans men aren't men that doesn't that's not how that works but you see how via this sort of [ __ ] that we're looking at here there's an attempt to make a generalized statement based on their own preferences do you now see what we're dealing with here and of course this is the lead this is the headline the headline is being run under we're being pressured into sex by some trans women now this article is very long very very long and it has all kinds of weird stories about people oh look who they cite i forgot about this they cite rose of dawn one of the most transphobic content creators on youtube a content creator who regularly regularly describes trans women as big bull seals forcing themselves into women's spaces this is a trans a self-hating trans woman whose self-hate is apparent in all of her videos and they cited her a person who again regularly calls trans women big bull seals which is transphobic that is just transphobia raw transphobia now i'm a bit of a big bull seal you see i'm a big strong scary person that's how i am i i i don't force myself into anybody's spaces i mostly hang out in my house and stream and go out to the woods and look at animals and stuff like that but uh most trans people i know don't look like me and don't act like me they're not big butch lesbians like me okay it's just true but they cited her do you see they've cited a lot of people here and as we go down further we will see that we get down to lily kade lily cade backed out of filming a porn scene after finding out the other performer was trans my sex drive was oriented towards women said lily i couldn't see past the fact that i was interacting with was male genitalia altered by surgery and not the reproductive organ of a female ape and i just couldn't get past that hmm i couldn't handle they then and this is the sort of thing right here the reproductive organ of a female ape this is the sort of thing that makes me very weird that weirds me out about turfs you see because turfs like to say they're feminists but then they talk about women like they're objects so is which one is it are you a feminist or or are you not because i don't see a world in which talking about women like like vaginas as the genitalia of a the reproductive organ of a female ape to me does not seem like a world uh in which you view women as as anything but sex objects wow okay or something else okay or or look we're not gonna talk about that okay or something else okay very weird very very strange but i promise you uh this is hardly the beginning so as you can see in this article i just want to show you in this article lily uh opines quite extensively one of the biggest parts of the article is devoted to lily uh lily cade so they gave a lot of space to this lady which is like huh sorry uh sorry sorry they gave a lot of space to this female ape um and uh and you know that's very strange uh uh you know it's weird to me that uh this female ape would be given so much space on the bbc especially to talk about something like this in this piece of the of the argument they talk about this and we're going to talk about this real quick the term cotton sealing is sometimes used when discussing these issues but it's controversial it stems from glass ceiling which refers to an invisible barrier preventing women from climbing to the top of the career ladder you want to know who else is is affected by the glass ceiling anyone who is identified as a woman do you know that trans women also have a huge problem getting to the top of industries because guess what they're seen as women they go into the industry nobody knows they're trans and then they're discriminated against just like everyone else just like every other woman interesting how that works but let's keep going cotton is a reference to women's underwear with the phase in phrase intended to represent the difficulty some trans women feel they face when seeking relationships or sex breaking the cotton ceiling means being able to have sex with a woman no it does not no it [ __ ] does not so first of all this is a unattributed quote by the way so nobody there's no attribution to this quote and secondly that is not what that means it isn't a a blatant lie the the cotton ceiling refers to the fact that just mysteriously trans people always end up either getting banned ignored or mistreated on dating apps on uh in the dating scenes and yes the cotton and cotton ceiling refers to the clothes worn by trans people exactly so do you see where this is going really off the rails okay do you see where this and this is a bbc news article that has been written on this and also notice the implicit bias in in this uh in this in this sentence breaking the cotton ceiling means being able to have sex with a woman no it does not no it does not first of all trans women date other trans women all the time they have sex with women all the time do you notice how they they tie in here there is an implied cis here interesting interesting how that goes weird a little a small little piece to note and you'll notice that a lot by the way if you read articles about trans people there will be all kinds of slip ups like this where trans women aren't actually considered women they're considered something other they're not normal women t4t transients the most common variety yes obviously trans women who date other trans women is incredibly common because it's safe also trans women who date trans men is also something that's very common because it's safer and also there's other reasons for it too don't don't don't mistake that but it is safer of course it is if you if you're worried about meeting people like this then of course you're gonna stick with people that are like you that understand your background it makes complete sense trans people have shared history with one another of course they're gonna do that especially in a world that's this hostile but of course there's you know there's all kinds of reasons you you meet more trans people when you're trans you meet more trans people so there's just a passive uh there's just a passive thing yeah it's common experience it's shared social groups there's all kinds of reasons that trans people often date other trans people also trans people have more appreciation for trans bodies so let's be real trans people are better at sex with other trans people it's really [ __ ] cool if you're if you're in any way not cis whether trans or non-binary or or any other identity dating cis people is exhausting well yes the cotton the cotton ceiling does not refer to being able to have sex with a cis woman that is not even it has never been used like that it refers to the fact that trans people get mysteriously uh squeezed out of dating spaces and then they end up um having to do having to meet each other through twitter or through discord because you either get banned outright off of dating sites which does happen all the time by the way there is all kinds of [ __ ] that gets trans people banned off of dating sites some which are are specifically anti-trans others which are like oh sorry your chosen name doesn't match with your id so we're kicking you off that's the cotton ceiling right there the cotton ceiling is saying that trans people is a society that says that trans people are below relationships that's the cotton ceiling not this lie which is just a lie nobody would ever cite the cotton ceiling as meaningless it's ridiculous so i've given you an idea of what this article was like okay and you might be going okay that's pretty [ __ ] bad because i mean there's a ton of this by the way oh yeah here's another example lily kade who worked in the industry for 10 years used to go by the label porn star valley or porn valley's golden star lesbian because she only ever had sex with other women again note right here another example of the of the article asserting the turf ideology in the text of the article she only ever had sex with other women hmm but she won't have sex with trans people because she doesn't think trans people are people let alone uh let alone uh uh women lily was asked to do a scene with davao in in toronto and initially agreed after looking at photos of her but she backed out in advance after discovering online that she was a trans woman so we can see how this goes she already she she looked up her [ __ ] and agreed to a shoot and then was like oh wait you're trans yuck which hey you can decline for whatever reason but if you d if you go ew trans that people might go that's a little transphobic don't you think you thought i was pretty online you're mad just because i'm my genetics like say differently than what i identify as yeah the cotton ceiling thing was a big one this is something that happens by the way all the time um th this happens all the time in in publishing in in publish uh publications like the bbc there are all kinds of of of little sort of sneaky um uh underhanded tactics that are used like that like changing like think about it because if you if you look at this i'm sorry i'm i'm hovering on this a little bit but i want to talk about this if you think about this breaking the cotton ceiling means having sex with a woman wow that sounds predatory doesn't it that sounds like all the trans people are hanging out in a back room going how do we how do we figure out how to [ __ ] those [ __ ] havers isn't that absurd i have literally i've never even heard like trans people don't even joke about that [ __ ] they don't even joke about that [ __ ] and that is and yet that's the framing by saying that a term that's commonly used by not just trans people but all types of of gender theorists is uh is about having sex with cis women that's very [ __ ] very very very [ __ ] very manipulative and also just dead wrong okay so the next thing i'm going to do is uh i can't actually show you this this next one however i am going to post a web archive link this is the web archive link so you all can verify that i am not making up a single bit of this we're go i have copied down the text of this and we're going to read through it here on stream so you guys can taste how bad this really is okay i'm going to put another little thing up here because i want to make sure that people understand whose words um i'm reading so that nobody can make a mistake about whose words these are okay because this is going to be really bad and this is where the cws come in okay listen okay sexual assault murder rape all of this is contained in this goddamn [ __ ] okay this is very very very um [Music] very very ridiculous okay so we're gonna read this and we're gonna talk about this i always bring the receipts you know this this is how i do things always bring the receipts why can't i show it on stream because there's porn all over the place it's a porn site it was written on her porn site and this was written it's also yeah it's really bad this was written on november 2nd so yesterday this was published yesterday okay do you understand so this this is brand new now remember lily kade was published in the bbc on the 26th and just six seven days later she wrote this manifesto which we are about to read okay warning again one last warning before we jump into this this thing is unhinged i mean unhinged okay okay let's start this the piece is by lily kade and it's titled where the [ __ ] are these children's mothers okay where the [ __ ] are these children's mothers you're the mothers right the moms the mums i need the mothers on my side i'm on the side of the breeders i'm on the side of the children [ __ ] feelings i care about the emotional and physical well-being of the future generations doesn't that sound a little bit similar to something we've heard before does anybody uh anybody know the 14 words anyway not some spoiled little [ __ ] of the easiest stupidest path of least resistant society that has ever existed's [ __ ] delusions so this is nonsense this is and get ready for this this is a screed okay this is not well written this is nothing okay i'm not here to play back and forth games with the actually [ __ ] who with the wedge of their actually and your weak well-meaning nice feminine kindness and your ignorance of the smell of sulfur on the monster before you you have rolled a trojan horse full of literal baby [ __ ] goddamn pedophile monsters into your ivory towers your kindergartens your locker rooms your olympics your prisons everywhere you sought to stand in public [ __ ] these people so [Music] yeah off to the start just unbelievable uh calling all trans people baby [ __ ] pedophile monsters yeah this is nazi [ __ ] this was done to hurt you to make a mockery of you to hold you down this was done by men who hate women more than any other men who have ever walked the earth the worst men that have ever existed trans women men so worthless that they can't admit the most obvious thing about themselves that is obvious to the dogs and the rats who can smell their manhood and should be obvious to every mother on earth so remember a feminist who believes that you can smell your womanhood so apparently according to this per according to this person and to the others who sign off on this you if you don't smell like a woman you're not a woman to them bit weird huh that's a bit weird isn't it feminist wake the [ __ ] up [ __ ] before they slice up even one more child in public trans women are vile weak disgusting whiny fake victim [ __ ] who should be ashamed of themselves they threaten suicide and you roll over you disgust me too but there's one noble response to a man who tries to use the threat of violence against himself to manipulate a woman's emotions [ __ ] do it then that's the message that the the the turfs that's the message that the turf faction wants you to know remember this is a person who just a week ago was published and the article is still up in the bbc this person was the person the bbc called on to talk about trans issues and we're not even close to done that's what turfs have to say die then just die they're telling they're looking in the face of every uh every young trans person and saying i hope you die no woman should ever pity a weak man oh real feminist there super feminist men have to be strong men have to be a big masculine strong and silent type tear your [ __ ] blinders off [ __ ] what the [ __ ] is wrong with you your pity rewards weak your pity rewards weak men for their weakness you have sacrificed your children's futures on the altar of pity i have looked i have looked thousands of adult men in the eyes and i have not met one man once who believe that trans women are women well you haven't met any men then sorry that's just how it goes soldiers bull riders artists dope smokers boomer lawyers men no one believes that trans women are women trans women know they are men no they don't they are forcing you to pretend to believe they are women to rape your minds and the minds of your children they are like big brother wow wow this is just like 1984. them twisting your language so that you don't have the words to make sense of reality this is power [ __ ] this is the shape of power these men run your world now because you refuse to speak truth to power so like you realize this is completely this is completely like unhinged there's there's no even even if you believe even if you're a transphobe and you think that trans women are men the idea that trans people hold the power in the universe is as absurd as the jq it is just absurd completely uh unhinged but let's keep going trans women are men say it own it hold the [ __ ] line [ __ ] mitch fest held the bit held the line so when mitch fest fell so fell western civilization hmm yes feminists very much about uh very very obsessed with the fall of western civilization hmm this is a pedophile cult it's been here the whole time you gave these people too much power so they became a pedophile cult wow that is like literally just straight out of the jq isn't it the lesbians tried to warn you but no one listens to the lesbians i broke matt max hardcore's nose [ __ ] and drank at his house and shared his cameraman max hardcore a whorebreaker who still slings fake dick has more integrity than the whole of western civilization who would rather stroke their [ __ ] and their phones while the world burns than speak truth to power say what you want about me but i never [ __ ] no kids well you raped people though i would send my daughter to learn what a golden shower is from max hardcore before i let these satanic [ __ ] freaks educate her about her body and her soul do you do you realize how insane that is do you know what this was just said here she just said that she would send her daughter to go get pissed on by a by a porn star then then trans people exist in public do you see what i'm talking about about about this whole turf thing the turf thing is an ideology that has gone so out of control and they will claim they're being censored even when they're literally published in the mainline articles of the bbc so there's a fact check problem going on here there's a reality check this person screaming about reality being this way and oh i'm sure all of the fans of lily cade will be like oh look demon mama is pulling your strings and warping reality because apparently i'm a psychic like that um but the reality is we know this isn't true we know trans people don't don't occupy the halls of power trans people have no systemic power none and even worse this person is admitting that they would go and let a porn star teach their kid about golden showers rather than be taught about trans people that's really [ __ ] if you ask me you have abdicated your responsibility as a mother you have sold your children for the trance of the endless scroll for cheap validation for candy crush [ __ ] you stupid [ __ ] cow how could you because you're too cow to draw a line enough is enough your horrifying addiction is making you stupid and weak and your children are suffering because of it you are no different than a heroin addict who ties the cord for her child to shoot up trans women are men trans women are evil trans women are rapists trans women are predators do you see how stupid this is do you not realize what this is this is this is hate this is hate speech this is trying to get people to uh to just based on pure irrationality hate trans women are men who have surrendered to their shadow that's what it means to be evil i should [ __ ] know what the men beneath these vile personas can still be redeemed so long as the soul walks the earth it can be redeemed trans women cannot there is no such thing as a trans woman there is no such thing as gender id identity this is a sick fetish very wow very feminist here super super feminist wow yeah this is esoteric fascism right here this is esoteric fascism yes yes for those of you who aren't familiar with with how esoteric fascists write this is how they write trans women are a lie they know and i know and if you can't see it you're not paying attention their fetish is lying to you jerking off all over everything you care about pissing into your children's developing minds and making you shut up and take it what weak men are the natural prey of [ __ ] i see right through them i read their dark hearts some of them are vile sadists and some are just worthless bootlickers but every single one of them is evil yeah she really likes piss and remember this person opining about uh about all of this degeneracy and all of this nonsense is a sex worker a lesbian sex worker 20 years ago not even not even 20 years literally now there are conservatives who would say the exact words about her for being gay can we just take a second can we just take a second that there are the entirety of the right would say the exact same thing about her just for being gay and also probably for being a sex worker but remember this is the person that got a platform from the bbc trans women are evil pedophiles okay by the way right here just so you can see right here i'm gonna zoom right up right up on this right here do you see this right here i just wanna i just want to take a moment hold on we're gonna take a moment here and i want from all of you the biggest i told you so ever i want the biggest i told you so point from all of the internet owes me massively because remember back in june when i said that that the kink at pride equals pedophilia narrative is incredibly incredibly irresponsible fear-mongering moral panic [ __ ] that borderlines on the blood libel wow looks like we're right back here again and just so you know once again massive dub from the demon mama quadrant massive dub for the [ __ ] oracle of internet politics i did multiple segments talking about this exact [ __ ] how does it feel to be proven right once again depressing i would rather oh my god i would give anything to be an unhinged screaming sandwich sign idiot who never is right about anything but i always am because that would mean that the world is a better place than i thought it was but it's not trans women are evil pedophiles who have twisted the minds of your people so badly with annoying ugly stupid language that your children are mutilated mutilating their bodies to please them that doesn't even make sense the cert trans people aren't even the surgeons trans people aren't even like what are you talking about these people understand the attention attention is the currency of your horrifying society teenage girls want attention more than anything else on earth they have been offered a choice between mincing tick-tock [ __ ] and navel-gazing spoiled rotten weak pathetic fake man victims because you sold them out for the smartphone wait this doesn't even make sense fake me tick-tock horror or naval gazing spoiled rotten weak pathetic fake man victims with teenage girls this is a fuck-up i mean this is just a fuck-up but let's keep going trans women and the shadow lords of the algorithm control this attention they are pedophiles predators monster shadow beasts the literal devil these men hate women they are jealous panty wearing sick masturbating [ __ ] who have infiltrated every level of your society with one goal degrade

] you know i don't know she's obsessed with the piss i i feel like uh no you know you want to know what this does sound like a psychotic break no i don't think it does honestly do you know what this sounds like this sounds like hate rhetoric have you ever read any of the manifestos of like uh of like previous hate like hate manifestos have you ever seen any of these have you ever read like you know uh the manifesto of like uh [ __ ] what's his face the okc guy the the oklahoma city bomber have you ever read like [ __ ] this is this is this is the [ __ ] that's posted all the time by far right people all over the place it's not this is not just psychosis this is hate this is what hate does to your brain yeah elliot roger i've read part of the cc shooter it reads the same the christ church shooters manifesto is basically the same this is not a psychotic break this is the the natural result of an ideology that tells you that trans people are evil look at this i mean listen listen listen to this right here i'm going to retweet i'm going to re-say this right here we're just going to make sure this is here trans women are and the shadow lords of the algorithm control this attention they are pedophiles predators monsters shadow beasts the literal devil these men hate women they have one goal degrade women this is the language of hate this is what people do when they want to motivate violence against others this is the language of hate do you understand so no i don't think this is a psychotic break i think this is the natural result of hate-filled ideology because you'll hear the same thing from fundamentalist christians about gay people exactly the same it is mundanity this level of hate is literally the natural result of hateful ideologies where the [ __ ] are your balls [ __ ] where are the mother bears well okay this is just weird i know what a woman is [ __ ] and i know what a man is i know what a mother is and i know what a child is and i sure as [ __ ] know what a pedophile is a pedophile is someone who sacrifices the souls of children to feed his shadow self i don't even know what the [ __ ] that means what the [ __ ] does that this is

from birth their deep animal truths denied these t slur freaks are experimenting on your children and cutting them apart in full view of the public and you stand by and let it happen because you're worried they will call you out for being afraid of them you are worried they will take away your social media [ __ ] social media it did this burn it to the [ __ ] ground and hold these monsters accountable the evil [ __ ] are one percent of the population they control the matrix they do not control real life call me transphobic i am transphobic you should be too hey at least you out and said it the trans ideology is [ __ ] on its face a lot no i mean that doesn't even make sense first of all what is the trans ideology secondly your your your what you're talking about is factually wrong because you're talking about people going hey you know it's kind of weird that our government says that we only have two genders when we know for a fact that more than one more than two genders have existed for all of history your government the government's pretty weird to say there's only two sexes when we know intersex people represent a huge percentage of the population by comparison this is what constance was describing when he came on stream and talked about structural anti-semitism yes yes no this was not a twitter thread this is from her website this is from her porn site where she sells her porn and blogs the trans ideology is [ __ ] on his face a lie built to suborn these soulless pedophiles in their public grooming of children this is a pedophile cult this is the real pedophile cult that has been staring you in the face this whole time laughing masturbating the naked emperor stroking his [ __ ] while you try to find some new nice words to explain gently to him in newspeak that you would like him to stop and that he is naked newspeak doesn't have those words what what is that even like this is literally this could be a dave rubin thing like this is like irrelevant like i mean it's incomprehensible he won't stop he hates you enough is enough speak english [ __ ] [ __ ] your newspeak speak english [ __ ] hmm huh weird oh a little bit of that racism oh a little bit of that racism sneaking in [ __ ] your newspeak i piss on your newspeak no woman should ever let another word of this vile mockery of english that is newspeak pass her lips ever again you know which words i mean don't say them don't write them the truth is beautiful newspeak is not hold the line let the pedophile monsters keep their newspeak speak english as all men still do once the [ __ ] leave the room isn't that a little weird isn't that a little weird right there [ __ ] your pronoun dance [ __ ] your obfuscation while the blood truth stares you in the face do you think that marines speak newspeak what the marine what do you think the tuna boat fisherman asked for my pronoun what grow up a dog knows what a [ __ ] is i walk with the dogs this dead [ __ ] is the last man left in america take the culture back or the dogs will be all that survives of western civilization okay so we need to take a second here real quick we need to take a second here okay um let me just tell you a quick thing okay so wait a minute how many people i want to do a quick let's do this real quick have you read 1984 yes or no 84 votes and we have a little over 60 haven't read the book okay this is a good moment okay newspeak let's talk about newspeak okay the concept of newspeak was it was introduced in uh 1984. in 1984 the government um imposed the uh the gradually imposed the usage of a term of of a new language called newspeak newspeak was based off of english but was simplified okay newspeak is not just new words that is not what newspeak was in fact it is explicitly stated in 1984 that the purpose of newspeak was to limit language okay so let me give you an example of this i'm going to open up my little notebook here and we're gonna we're gonna we're gonna go from there i'll show you what i'm talking about okay so here's here's a newspeak thing okay so good would be the same so good stays the same right now in in english you could say what if you wanted to say something was better than good what if you wanted to say something that was like like something was even better than good like like what what are some words somebody throw me a little word here that you think would be uh better than good better than good great okay here we go great fantastic excellent incredible poggers uh better gooder phenomenal stupendous epic amazing okay so we got that that's good that's good that's good that's good okay here we go that's really good let me just close this real quick so in newspeak all of these words would become plus good do you see so instead of having to say great fantastic excellent incredible pogers better good or phenomenal you just say plus good or if you really really need it double plus good and that's that's newspeak newspeak was a language that had that was designed to limit your expression do you understand what i'm saying it's not supposed it was not about in just inventing new words it was restructuring language so that people couldn't express themselves as well because in 1984 personal expression was key crushing personal expression was key to crushing the population you can't formulate rebellion exactly because your thought has been limited because you grew up not knowing a bunch of different ways to say things a bunch of different ways to think about different topics you have the government's way something is double plus good or that's it you don't ha yes exactly it kills subcultures it flattens out culture into a way that's easily understandable by the state rhodes says it was made to prevent the usage of any uh any anti-ing sock anti-ing sock was the uh ing sock was the government of of the book yes statement that's more complex than big brother double plus ungood yes that was the goal the goal was to try to raise a generation of people that didn't have the words to meaningfully criticize um uh uh the the the government do you understand what i'm saying and also to limit their imagination so the only thing they knew was the world that they lived in and think about this here's another thing ready here's another interesting thing notice that part of newspeak is not just about um about limiting your ability to think about things but also it's about making it known what you're saying if you only have one word where you can say bad so right now let me let me ask you this if if i went around uh walking if i turned on my camera every single day and i looked at you and i said government bad government bad government bad well the government's going to know exactly what i'm saying right and first of all it's not entertaining it would be very boring but the government will know what i'm saying exactly they will know i'm a critic because i only can say government bad government bad government ungood but instead i can say guys the way that the government is [ __ ] you is unbelievable and that is a little different or i can say hey it's important that we criticize these governmental structures but you see if it's newspeak if i don't know any language except newspeak english the only thing i can say is the government double double plus ungood yes limited language makes it easier to find identify and silence dissenters so now that i've talked about it this is a little bit this is a little bit of a side note but what i'm trying to tell you is that her understanding of what um newspeak is is ridiculous whenever conservatives talk about newspeak they don't know what they're talking about they aren't actually talking about the concept of newspeak they're just using a buzzword newspeak is about it was specifically about limiting language coming up with new words uh being able to say pogers for for good being able to say that your gender is a hundred different things is an expansion a growth a natural progression of language not the reduction newspeak was about the reduction of language so that the only language that existed was language that was determined by the state it was about refusing to allow you outside of the box of the fascistic government of 1984. and what they hear is they hear newspeak and they go oh those are new words that's what newspeak is that's not what newspeak was newspeak is the opposite they didn't read the [ __ ] book but but newspeak is the opposite of what they're saying coming up with new words to describe things empowers us it means that i can talk about things with great depth you notice that okay you notice that i don't just um you guys come and tune in over here to see me review games and stuff all the time how useful would a review be to you if all i said was it's good like what if i just said wingspan guys it's good it wouldn't be uh it wouldn't be very useful huh that would be pretty pointless the reality is that with lots of words to describe different things words that have nuance sometimes words that might only be used in certain contexts gives us more knowledge there are things that we that there are things that exist in our minds right now that could not even be conceptualized by people in the past do you realize that right listen up imps do you realize that a couple of generations ago there were concepts that could not exist because humans hadn't even thought of the words to describe those concepts yet unbelievable right it's not just that more words equals more good it's just that it's that it's natural for us to come up to with new new words that describe things that we're experiencing do you know how sometimes we borrow words have you all ever heard the word schadenfreude it's a word i use all the time does anybody know what that means schadenfreude is when you get when you get pleasure from the suffering of someone you don't like that's a german word english doesn't have a word for that so we borrowed it from german because it's actually useful to have a word for that and everybody tons of people in america know what schadenfreude is even though it's not an english word we borrowed it because the germans came up with a word for something we hadn't named yet yeah machismo deja vu all of these there was a simpsons episode about that yeah democracy is greek there's all kinds of words like this language is supposed to go like that so this is a bit of a tangent but i think it's an important tangent for all of you to understand whenever you hear conservatives talking about newspeak ask if it's actually if what they're talking about is actually about the limit limiting of language or if they're just mad that they don't like the thing that they're talking about hors d'oeuvres yeah rhodes says one example of a reduction as as an alteration is that newspeak has the word free but it only means the absence of like your head is free of lice this was actually to prevent the understanding of old text that had records department missed yeah that's a small piece of lore in in 1984 the word free means like empty they the government redefined the word free so that old texts about liberation wouldn't make sense to people because they would just see this like you should be free and they'd like you should be empty what does that mean that's something that happened in 1984 that was a part of the story here we go hey look hey look we got [ __ ] we got [ __ ] from literal adolf hitler in connection with the jewish question i have this to say it is a shameful spectacle to see how the whole democratic world is oozing sympathy for the poor tormented jewish people but remains hard-hearted and up for it when it comes to helping them which is surely in view of this attitude and obvious duty they assure us we cannot take them unless germany is prepared to allow them a certain amount of capital to bring with them as immigrants for hundreds of years germany was good enough to receive these elements though they possess nothing except infectious infectious political and physical diseases do you hear this is the same [ __ ] that's an adolf hitler speech and it mirrors what we're reading here it's the same vibe imagine turning into the stream to see me yeah exactly so how close are we to 1984 we'll talk about that afterwards let's actually continue with this okay where were we here here we go oh here we go how perfect this is your great replacement [ __ ] these people castrate your kids they sold them to big pharma to be castrated while you cheer them on for living their truth what the [ __ ] the [ __ ] how do you sleep at night self mutilation has never been and never will be a cure for mental illness self-mutilation is a sign of extreme psychological disorder distress this is your next opiate crisis the opiate crisis the opiate crisis which was literally and factually orchestrated by the family that owns multi-billion dollar multinational corporations is the same as trans people literally just unhinged there's no world not like not even nazis usually go this far this is so unhinged end this before it gets worse listen to that end this before it gets worse stand up to the cult every [ __ ] teenage girl experiences dysphoria this cure is acceptance and spiritual growth a [ __ ] gym routine this is this is jordan peterson clean your room hobbies goals control over the desires the intellect trained to guard the heart what compassion but never but never pity not [ __ ] personas lies a lifetime commitment to pharmaceuticals hack job surgeries that construct a vile funhouse mirror effigy of the opposite sex from the bodies honed by millions of years of evolution that you have allowed the worst people in your society to educate your daughters about again like more unhinged nonsense this is all [ __ ] that's just it's just absurd like dramatization and yet people buy into this do you hear the ferocity that's used the yeah yeah interesting how do you end this isn't that an interesting question isn't that a [ __ ] interesting question hmm i wonder what she means by that are we maybe gonna find out i have a feeling that we're gonna find out i have walked the world and watched this cancer stretch across it they are making money from this soul reap not just the evil pedophiles but the even darker evil of the truly soulless money men who stand by and let it happen because they love money so much okay this is just a stupid argument i just want to fact check this for a second trans people are a small percentage of the population a notable percentage but we are poor okay trans people are [ __ ] poor as sin the like trans people do not give tons of money to the pharmaceutical giants trans people are cut out of health insurance trans people are literally ignored we are not money makers for the pharmaceutical industry we are poor as [ __ ] this is so stupid it's not it's it's mathematically nonsensical what she's saying nonsensical is she literally yeah they love money so much yeah yes yes is she literally going to say is she going so hitlerish that she's going to say the transits control all the money yup the power structure knows this is horrible they just don't care what your children who agree to be mutilated for the attention of the cult are weak okay another little fact check do you know that like a lot of trans people don't ever get gender confirming surgery you know that right like a lot of trans people never get gender confirming surgery some of them don't want it like me i don't i don't well i mean to be fair i did have an orchiectomy which is a gender confirming surgery but i'm not having srs there are a lot of trans people who never get the opportunity because it costs so much so the idea that there is like a group of people clapping them along is ridiculous it is patently absurd you will not find this anywhere in reality the only thing you will find is trans people unironically supporting one another yeah just coming out takes a lot of strength almost nobody gets it it is very rare i know so many trans people and i know only a handful who've actually been able to to get srs it's really really rare the [ __ ] do the money men care about a bunch of stupid mentally damaged children with endless scroll addictions they [ __ ] kids too they have eyes like mine that truck no pity you are sheep to them they are all laughing all the way to the bank that's why you're not allowed to speak up money big pharma oh yes big pharma traditionally the supporters of trans people big pharma has big pharma literally it had to be passed by law in the united states that big pharma couldn't discriminate against trans people because they were so ready to discriminate against trans people you know when i came out that i had to get my doctor to to prescribe uh sorry to prescribe me um hormones for acne but that was the original plan and then obamacare passed and my doctor was like we don't have to do that anymore that's a real thing like the farm big pharma was not in support of trans people has never had been that's why you're not allowed to speak up anyway the sacklers had science too look at these people the paragons of this paradigm these mutilated sideshow freaks fake ass whiny victims holding you down in fear these freak doctors chopping up your babies do these people seem happy to you do they seem wise do your trusted children to the smartphone you trusted your children to the smartphone and this is what it did to you i committed voter fraud for joe biden because i didn't want to watch that shit-filled sack of [ __ ] where once stood a man [ __ ] all over himself in public every day filtered through the voices of every last human soul in america who could talk about nothing else that whole time but the color and shape of his [ __ ] joe biden put a pedophile monster in charge of health and human services so that the process of trapping your children with that lifetime commitment to pharmaceuticals can be honed ever further into the path of least resistance so by the way this is a direct accusation that uh that uh uh rachel what's her last name rachel rachel rachel i always forget her last name rachel levine rachel levine is a trans woman who has been given the position of department of health of health and human services this is an accusation that jo that uh that that joe biden gave rachel levine levine a age a job because she's apparently a pedophile yes i believe she is jewish yeah she also just admitted to committing voter fraud i don't know what that even means and also accused a four-star general of of being a pedophile yeah natalie marie brings up another thing people have to take all kinds of meds for the rest of their life for all sorts of medical reasons yeah weird how much ableism there is in here too yeah she called the secretary of health and human services a pedophile let's continue your children's oh wait here we go joe biden knows that's a man so that's weird and he knows that that's a pedophile and he knows that's the agenda no one did anything [ __ ] these people this is q anon right here this is uh q and on [ __ ] your children's teachers are either in this pedophile cult or the usual mel well-meaning weak man pitying feminine fools that suborn evil because they're too stupid to see it your children's teachers allow them to start their horrifying lifetime addiction to cross-sex hormones and the feeding of their shadow selves behind your back 12 year old girls experiencing the normal rhythms of the experience of being 12 year old girls are encouraged to mutilate their growing bodies to please these pedophiles because it gets attention unhinged again completely unhinged just totally unhinged pedophiles [ __ ] children these pedophiles are [ __ ] your children in public every day [ __ ] their minds [ __ ] their bodies often these tortured man women who have been so sadistically brought up with no real men in their lives their fathers having sold their balls to the endless scroll their mother's so weak and broken themselves by the stupid garbage that they go along with it i've seen it the parents mean well but they're just idiots because she's bred from stupid weak people and trained by shadow monsters the traumatized child victim of the cult can't spot a predator and they bear these children to these monsters this was not put in photoshop to add the background this is the real back this is the real website background then the monsters [ __ ] the children too just like the pedophile cult of the south did the shape of power is always a pedophile cult ask that finger sucking [ __ ] of a [ __ ] breaker maxwell what do you remember that video with the trans couple trying to breastfeed a baby with a disgusting weak whiny fake victim piece of [ __ ] man not worth the air he breathes crying about how no one respects him as a mother as he tries to squeeze the hormone-induced weepings of his man titties into a baby's mouth find me that video watch that video and tell me that's not a worthless master by masturbating pedophile [ __ ] a baby while the traumatized child your garbage society has groomed to let pump his seat into her fertile womb coddles his weakness and let to happen

look like and here's where it gets real wild everybody i thought pedos got the wall this is where it goes off the rails okay i thought chomos got the rope this is a slur for uh cha for uh child molesting homosexuals chomos yeah that's a [ __ ] sound child molester so is bruce jenner so this is probably gonna end up getting getting this person in uh in some serious hot water that's a direct uh that's a direct accusation to an individual he told you he gets off to wearing his own daughter's clothes and you stood by and did nothing tear your blinders off this is not acceptable you do not have to accept this speak truth to power trans women are men they know they are men if these men can't slit the throats of these vile personas in public admit what they have done take off the dress look with the abject shame upon the affront to god and nature they have wrought in the service of their masturbatory fantasies apologize for the children they have hurt with their lies and their drugs and their grooming apologize for the incarcerated women they have fed to rapists rapist monsters apologize for the lesbian spaces they have desecrated and devote the rest of their lives to repairing the damage they have done if you left it up to me i'd execute every last one of them personally and this person still has an article up on the bbc a multiple in a row direct physical threat of violence against all trans people and this person was given a platform and still has a platform in the bbc right now as we're speaking this is a hate crime right can lily be charged for this we'll find out i guess this is why i said this is a murderous manifesto we can make no mistake about what this is intended to do there is there can be no mistake about what this is now this is a call to action pito's get the wall chomos get the rope where the [ __ ] are the marines where the [ __ ] is the army where are the farmers with pitchfork forks where are the cowboys where are the indians

still here they would rip the still beating hearts from every last one of these pedophile monsters in public the same way that they have raped your kids so would every man who walked this earth before your culture decided to accept masturbation as healthy and not the soul draining creative energy wasting evil pathetic act of a man not worth his balls remember sex worker sex worker apparently

of of nothing your children stuff themselves into to be cool with no connection left to the rebellion for which it once stood you were never a part of that rebellion the queer movement never included you just so that we're clear lily kade was never a part of the queer movement lily kade was a self-described gold star lesbian that is not queer you are not queer if you're a gold star lesbian you are not queer if you are anti-trans you are not queer if you are anti-non-binary that is not queer she was never a part of this queer movement ever never once not historically and certainly not now identity is a sin all lies are a sin i fought for the right to love who i loved i did not fight for the right to lie in public you're full of [ __ ] is what you are but it's not done yet it's not done yet here we go uh i uh i did not fight what has been done in my name as an american to whine about victimhood no one deserves these rights kill this ideology no mercy no quarter wipe the stain of newspeak from the ivory tower forever they should be ashamed of themselves the oops here we go there we go sorry about that i don't know what the hell happened there sorry about that wipe the stain of

anyway i'm here to take the language back from the forked tongue of newspeak and save your daughters are you with me or are you with the actually [ __ ] and the evil pedophiles and the damaged spoiled children who've been trained by the two worst forces of evil that i've ever seen the matrix and the evil [ __ ] that the matrix breeds do you believe in free speech and atonement and the wisdom of the fallen or do you believe that no one who sins should ever speak again the monsters named me the cotton ceiling to break me and others like me they raped and groomed and tortured and sliced up and desecrated and educated your daughters because not a single solitary state in all of western civilization had the balls or the brains or the heart to say no to these freaks by the way remember lily kade admitted to sexually assaulting multiple people just so we're just so we're clear about who's the rapist here what the [ __ ] is wrong with you are you going to let them take me down with some lazy memes while you [ __ ] out your [ __ ] opinions about [ __ ] you know nothing about and masturbate your outrage into your phone and do nothing are you gonna take off your goddamn polite society blinders and look this monster in the eye i am the cotton ceiling [ __ ] i'm the only one who said no they took down mitch fest they can't take down lily cade she's already dead i'm the bullet [ __ ] if you let me be who else has the balls the brains the voice and the pitiless eyes to [ __ ] these to fight these monsters i'm a [ __ ] soldier you ready i'm ready we can't fight this within the matrix no more back and forth message board internet [ __ ] this ends now stop arguing on the internet with the bootlicking foot soldiers of men who are [ __ ] your children peak trans [ __ ] let's go let's see their cotton ceiling and let's raise them and i'm gonna show this to you again we're going to [ __ ] around with this thing because i think this is kind of important to do here because i want you to be able to see exactly what we're talking about here okay hold on let's rate let's let's see their cotton ceiling and let's raise them the wall we explained the cotton ceiling earlier on in the episode so you have to go back uh here we go let's uh let's zoom in a little more here and then we'll go back up to here and we'll go like this are you going to let these monsters piss on motherhood and [ __ ] your kids or are you going to stand up for the truth and that's the end of that that's the end of that that's the end uh of the uh of the our of the uh of the of the of the manifesto saying she's already dead and is a bullet and is a soldier is extremely school shooter stuff yeah but this is not a kid this is an this is an adult who has now been um who has who has now been been uh been platformed by the bbc and just so you know just so you know bbc rejects complaints that it published a transphobic article corporation says the article about the experience of some lesbians met its editorial guidelines the bbc has rejected complaints that it published a transphobic article and is instead given a commitment to covering different viewpoints in the name of impartiality so yeah that's the state of things on turf island this was this was that was before the manifesto was posted but it doesn't matter she's been doing this for a long time they know what you're doing they know what you're doing they know what they're doing but remember that uh that so so before we go on into all the analysis let's just talk about this this manifesto is an attempt at uh at uh at ginning up uh stochastic terrorism okay there can be no doubt about that there's literal direct calls for others to do violence um in this in this piece there was multiple calls to violence there were multiple calls to um historical forms of exit of specific execution that was used against queer people and and the bbc is is pretending that they didn't publish an article that directly supports this remember the bbc's article was worded in nicer language but it it expressed the same sentiments it was a bunch of things saying that if trans people think you're transphobic that means they're trying to force you to [ __ ] them we looked at this this manifesto is what all turfs think like even if they don't like to admit it or admit it to themselves if you go on to turf us if you go on to turf spaces if you spend any time just go you can go there yourself go go make an anonymous account on on a turf image board and go see what they say about trans people randar the barbarian says i do not understand how trans people put up with this i cannot even uh i cannot even comprehend a large swath of people excluding me from a conversation about my own existence you all are some powerful folk ragnar i appreciate that and the truth is the simple truth is we don't a lot of trans people die a lot of trans people can't handle this and they shouldn't have to but they can't now all of you all are gonna follow rule one rule number one which is do not die even if you have to spit in the face of people like this that warning ah yes the kid says i'm unironically scared for my trans femme friends the warning that you said about having spare rooms for people to stay in rings true i've been saying this for a long time okay everybody listen please listen to me if you don't listen to anything else in this segment listen to me right now hard times are coming in a lot of places for trans people okay but hard times can be survived first of all rule number one i don't care what you have to do uh to survive do not die you fight until the moment that you possibly can't okay that's how it goes secondly this is this has been going on for a long time okay this this sort of [ __ ] has been going on we know like through this has been we've been we've covered this even on this channel many times we've covered the amount of transphobic explicitly transphobic hit pieces that get published all over the internet remember when there was all this scare in um do you remember all the scare a couple months ago where all the turfs online and all the conservatives were talking about how a canadian guy was arrested for dead naming his uh his kid do you all remember that and then it turned out that that was completely false and the guy was an unhinged stalker who had actually been uh asked who had actually been had a uh a um uh what's the word uh what's it called restraining order who had a restraining order uh taken out against him because he kept because he literally was doxing his own child's doctor against the wills of the child the mother and the doctor and that was that was spun all across the internet news as oh you can't you ooh you dead name your own child and oh you use the wrong name and you're going to prison no the reality is that trans people are treated horrifically that these these crimes they make up about trans people do not exist it is literally page for page out of the blood libel a long time ago i had a conversation with uh who who remembers the conversation i had with aristocracy does anybody remember aristocracy we love i love aristocracy aristocracy is great does anybody remember the conversation i had with aristocracy it was a long-form interview and at one point during the interview there was a sort of a long segment where me and eris talked about the shared the the the parallel histories of jewish people and trans people yeah the jewish and trans cultural crossover there is a reason why queer people trans people gay people and jewish people have a similar history yes it was and we were talking about specifically how the way that the the same methods of ghettoizing and and and marginalizing um and and accusing uh us of strange conspiracies um is is shared and as a result i think the jewish people and trans people have a lot of of of stuff that they can talk about and grow from from one another on and the blood libel thing is so clear here we talked about how traditionally the same things that were used against jewish people saying that jewish people are pedophiles who kidnap children and drain their blood or [ __ ] them or whatever that's what that's literally the blood libel it's been around since like the 1200s at least um how that is used almost identically against trans people and we see it here perfectly all of these things that they're sacrificing the souls of children to satan that they're uh they're sucking the vital essences out of them and raping them and all this [ __ ] that they say it's the blood libel but it's being used against trans people isn't that weird same [ __ ] same exact tactic same exact tactic interestingly we also know how it turned how's it how it's turned out in the past this is the same language that was used to whip up a moral panic that led to the holocaust you understand that right this is the type of [ __ ] this is exactly the type of [ __ ] that was written not just about not just about uh about gay people that was written too but about jewish people but about people who have a different skin color makes the book burning so much more relevant yeah isn't it interesting how this person advocates person who is just who is just platformed by one of the if not the biggest news website in the world trans people are the last minority our society finds permissible to advocate for genocide we're not the only ones but we are one of them immigrants are another one what is the blood libel the blood libel uh here let's read about the blood libel because i've mentioned it multiple times here we can literally just read the wikipedia article the wikipedia it's such an old thing that the wikipedia article is actually really good blood libel or ritual murder liberal bible also known as the blood accusation is an anti-semitic canard which falsely accuses jews of murdering christian children or other gentiles in order to use their blood in the performance of religious rituals historically echoing very old myths of secret cult practices in many prehistoric societies the claim as it is levied against jews was rarely attested to in antiquity it was however frequently attached to early communities of christians in the roman empire re-emerging as a christian accusation against jews in the medieval period this libel alongside those of well poisoning and host desecration became a major theme of persecution of the jews in europe and from that period to the present day blood libels typically claim that jews require human blood for the baking of matzos and unleavened flatbed bread which is eaten during passover although this element of the accusation was allegedly absent in the earliest stories they were accused of reenacting the crucifixion the accusations often assert that the blood of christian children is especially coveted and historically blood libels have been made in order to account for otherwise unexplained deaths of those children in some cases the alleged victims of human sacrifice have become venerated as christian martyrs three of these etc etc became the objects of local cults even though they were never canonized there have been about 150 recorded cases of blood libel that resulted in the arrest and killing of jews throughout history most of them in the middle ages almost every case jews were murdered sometimes by a mob sometimes following torture in a trial the term blood libel has also been used to in reference to any unpleasant or damaging false accusation and as a result has a broader metaphoric meaning however this wider usage of the term remains controversial because many jewish groups object to it and look at how much look at how huge this [ __ ] article is satanic ritual views moral panic human cannibalism look look look the satanic ritual abuse this is another thing the satanic ritual abuse problem in the united states this happened during the 80s this is the same [ __ ] there were accusations that uh interestingly towards mostly uh uh marginalized people that they were a part of secret satanic cults raping their children so anyway that's the blood libel and what how can i say like this is literally blood libel stuff right like i could open up any page of this uh like here we go like where where's this thing uh where's where's the spot that i'm talking about oh yeah uh take your culture back or the dogs will be all that survives of western civilization how do you sleep at night self-mutilate mutilation has never been a cure for mental illness self-mutilation is a sign of extreme psychological dis distress uh these the true uh they are making money from this soul reap do you hear that the this is the exact language of the blood libel and it's being used against interestingly in this piece both trans people and jewish people isn't that weird isn't that very strange quite a genuine serious concern i have is that transphobia may become a staple of the tory political platform anti-immigrant rhetoric is losing its effectiveness post-brexit in light of tory incompetence and already a number of scottish msps both tory and snp have shown support to turf protest in front of the scottish parliament i would hope that won't come to pass but it seems very possible it's very likely um keep in mind real quick keep in mind real quick um turf rhetoric was spot was um was spurned on because of the heritage foundation the heritage foundation is a far right american think tank they spent a lot of money publishing pieces about turf stuff in the uk this is a this is a fact big orange jew says during the modernization of judaism there is a debate among many jews if we should integrate or stay isolated from europe because of the misconception of jewish people one of the largest groups of jewish people that integrated into european society was in germany yes yeah the rope the rope is absolutely a reference to the turner diaries do any does anybody know what the turner diaries are the turner diaries are a neo-fascist neo-nazi uh fiction novel that was the that is largely attributed to the far-right movement to like spurning on the far-right movement in america it's a book that talks about how all of the patriots are going to rise up and that there will be a day where all the immigrants and gay people will be hung in the street and that day is called the day of the rope it's the nazi bible yeah and there is two day of the rope references it was the book that inspired timothy mcveigh yes it was timothy mcveigh was uh handing out copies of the turner diaries at waco it's a shitty dystopian fanfic of course it is but it's it's hugely a hugely influential in the right-wing movement in america it's of course it's cringe as [ __ ] the writing is terrible yeah we could watch the video on it it was timothy mcveigh's favorite book or one of his favorites he handed it out at waco timothy mcveigh was the oklahoma city bomber by the way a far-right racist homophobe who blew up a building in america why do you think people become so far right like this there's a number of reasons first of all we have far-right we have far-right systems in place we are not there's this weird uh like there's this weird thing that really annoys the [ __ ] out of me um there's this really really weird thing that's happened with liberals and neoliberals in the modern era where they believe that we live in like the most progressive time that's ever existed and that nothing bad will ever come back that like we've left the days of racism behind us but we haven't that [ __ ] is recent memory and that [ __ ] is still being churned out by the same organizations that were churning it out back then we've had a few legal victories and it's and what our society operates on is a constant marginalization of people who are different not people who do harm but people who are different and they will invent the harm to justify treating people who are different poorly trans people gay people people with different skin colors people with uh with mental health mental health issues disabled people it's yeah it's vymar arrogance it is so you know it's very weird to me um [Music] that the bbc would so it's not weird to me look let's be let's be completely real i know what this is okay the bbc has a turf agenda this has been a problem for a long time the bbc has been heavily critiqued for constantly giving platforms not unbound not in the name of balance but giving platforms to the most unhinged turfs around people who go on and spot and say extremely false things about trans people things that play into already existing prejudices against trans people this is why life has gotten continually more rough for trans people in the uk and this already happens here in the united states but the thing is here in the united states we don't have as much of the turf [ __ ] because we have more explicit transphobia we have states right now that are passing bans on trans people we we've talked about this on this show you know we've really we've really gone in on this all of this this show hate crimes have gone up for white and or trans masked people in 2021 i'm sure the bbc is gonna help a lot yeah isn't that interesting isn't it interesting how the only thing they they talk about all of this [ __ ] the only metric that's going up is hate crimes against trans people yep we got the abbot exactly exactly from texas we've got governor abbott trying to ban trans people from sports like look at this [ __ ] like look you could just you can just search this and it's all the [ __ ] over the place this was from october 26th same day that that article was published texas governor signed into law a bill that bans trans girls from participating in female sports in public schools a measure that goes further than current rules in a state that already limited some trans people from participating class of sports aligned with their gender identity this is what's happening in the united states so um do you understand what the state of affairs are for trans people around the world right now and and there comes a time in i think there comes a very plausible time in the near future where there are so many laws in so many states of the united states where trans people can't actually live safely anymore so uh yeah there's a lot of states in the u.s that may not be safe for trans people anymore and this is why i've talked about one of the most important things i hope i truly truly hope that people in my audience and in other political audiences can do is is to be able to to figure out what you might be able to do to help trans people because you probably will know a trans person who's going to be um who might need some help in the future maybe you could just loan them a spot on your guest bed maybe they could come stay with you for a while maybe you could spot them 100 bucks to get their hrt maybe you could spot them a plane ticket to get out of their state but the reality is that there's a there's a there is a plausible future in which trans people are deeply deeply publicly discriminated against in this country and and the reality is well look it's not just look if you don't have money you can't do it but but you might have other opportunities keep your mind open and keep your ears open and also keep your hearts open please please i always have room for my childhood friend thank goodness thank goodness for people like you it was my friend um it was my friend who saved me when i got kicked out a friend who just gave me a spare room to stay in when i got kicked out by my family for being trans so i don't know uh this is a pretty shocking development um but uh you know it's shocking how blunt it was but we've been saying this i just what i want you all to listen to if you are um if you are uh not trans if you're a cis person and this is shocking to you listen listen closely watch for this [ __ ] this [ __ ] is getting stuff that leads up to this is getting published all over the place the article we showed you had explicit lies about what the cotton ceiling was just that we're there to further uh to further a a ridiculous ridiculous and insulting uh stereotype about trans people this is not new but if this is if this level of of of bluntness shocks you listen true nuts i know you you you ally some of you allies who listen to me are way in the know on this [ __ ] and we appreciate you just so you know look not to not to be like that but seriously we're gonna need all the help we can get in the future trans people are going to uh are going to be i mean listen what we're looking at is who we are as being criminalized do you know what that means do you know what that actually means right um it means to have your identity criminalized that means that you are a criminal no matter what you do you who you are has been criminalized and when that happens you are forced into the margins you can't get work you are damned to poverty unless you go do more crimes but why wouldn't you because you're already criminal anyway do you see how that's happened and that's happening right now in the united states there are states who have criminalized being trans like to varying degrees we had the the arkansas bill earlier this year that means that you have to post uh you have to post a public warning that says oh trans people can come into the bathrooms here in reality people aren't going to post that they just won't let trans people into the bathroom and that gives legal precedent to discriminate against trans people for pissing and so i don't know this puts us in a weird place you know it puts us in a very very weird place and it puts us in it puts people like me who i am publicly trans in a very dangerous place because now i have people like lily kade saying that because i am the avatar of the uh you know i'm i'm a you know i'm a relatively big trans streamer now comparatively this sort of thing saying oh these people need the wall these people get the rope these people need to die these people need to be yeah oh of course there's more public outrage there's more fighting back but it's not enough it's not enough how how can you compete with a with a when when the bbc takes the side of the turfs which they have they have again and again and again louis vuitton says i live in melbourne and dated a trans woman who's originally from from louisiana to have her documents reflect her gender she would not only have to get bottom surgery and once she did she would have to physically travel back to louisiana and be examined by a doctor to ensure her vagina was fem enough before her passport would reflect her gender yes there are multiple states in the united states that make it illegal to change your gender identity on official documents unless you have an expensive surgery that is criminalizing a person that criminalizes a person you understand what are your thoughts on trans people arming themselves as these kinds of measures don't seem to be slowing down do it but do it responsibly do it but do it responsibly i very very very much believed in in the second amendment for queer people just do it responsibly please be safe don't get into american gun culture there is a new and budding queer gun culture okay and absolutely you yes if you if you can responsibly own a gun you should do it of course do it out of protection of vengeance vengeance is ridiculous it's a silly silly thing lots of trans people deal with suicidality though so it can be unsafe it can be unsafe that's why i said do it responsibly okay yes if you can't safely own a gun make friends with leftists who do yes indeed that's the most important part did you know the most important part of community defense is having a community if you don't have a community make the moves to get there and yes there is a rising queer gun culture yes there is if you get a bow you cannot shoot yourself with it that is true bows are also very good bows are legitimate by the way they're not real good for close range self-defense but they're still pretty good yeah i can understand why people don't want to join the sra i get it i get it you don't have to you don't have to be a part of a gun group like that | Demon Mama | UCgkL_X69VNdfxyCXuz8ua9A | 2021-11-06 | Creative Commons

awaiting the chance of conquest invincible Rome was invincible no longer and they knew it out of the East from harrying the Byzantine Empire came Alaric de goth tall of stature fair and ruddy of face successful at first he soon met his match in silico the vandal general of the Emperor Honorius and retired across the Adriatic the Gothic nation has been subdued never to rise again was the brow legend on the arch erected in row by Honorius in memory of the immense the riding was still fresh when Alaric returned with a nation behind him under the very walls of Rome where for more than 600 years no enemy had been seen he took his stand 6,000 pounds of gold and 30,000 of silver was to ransom he asked for the city while the patricians of invincible Rome hastened to tear down the statues of the gods and to strip the temples to satisfy his demands the old lion had indeed lost its teeth and the hardy goth was not slow to take advantage of the fact give us land in the North that we may settle he asked imperiously and on the refusal of Honorius returned in the year 482 storm and sacked the Eternal City yet he was not unmerciful this valiant barbarian leader for you ordered his soldiers to spare all who were not in arms to respect the churches and all who took sanctuary there and to destroy no public buildings but a vast host of barbarians eager for blunder could not always be controlled and the sack of Rome had its horrors Alaric might have been master of Italy if his death at the age of 35 years had not averted a little longer the downfall of the empire of a different

northern provinces penetrating as far as Parma and Milan the inhabitants of benezia flying from before the face of the terrible Conqueror founded on the coast of the Adriatic the collection of fishing villages which were later to develop into the city and Republic of Venice Valentinian the Emperor covering behind the walls of Rome was a raging with charity onward March of atilla's army the conqueror was already at Mantua and a trail of smoking ruins the lay behind him foreshadowed the fate of Rome when the tottering Empire was saved once more and by the head of the church on earth at the emperor's earnest prayer Saint Leo de crate surrounded by only a few of his priests went forth to meet a savage barbarian who had made himself the terror of the civilized world Attila who had heaped insults on kings and emperors fouled before the humble majesty of the Saint he retired to the banks of the Danube where within a year he died twice had a menace sounded twice at invincible Rome Lane at the mercy of the Barbarian twice at a danger been averted the death knell of the Empire struck for the third time two years later when guys Erick the Vandal marched on Rome guys Erick who had conquered the Roman province of Africa fourteen years before was no valiant warrior of generous instincts but a crafty and treacherous schemer who united with the savage nature of the barbarian the worst vices of the corrupt Roman world beside him Alaric was a paladin and a savage Attila an honest man he was moreover a bigoted Aryan and had to relentlessly persecuted his Catholic subjects this vilest in Seoul as he had been called of all the barbarian invaders of the Empire landed in Italy in the year 455 and met with little or no opposition the emperor Maximus his hands still red with the

vandal host the Pope exacted from the leader a promise that he would neither slaughter the citizens torture the captives now set fire to the town for guys Erick this was no small concession but not even Saint Leo could prevent the village and wholesale destruction wrought by the vandal hordes for 14 days the sack of the city continued and when at last geysering led his army back to Africa he carried with him 60,000 captives and the richest treasures of Rome the army of Rome her glory in the days of old was now no more it was replaced by a collection of the variants of many tribes and races whose loyalty had to be bald with a heavy price and who knew their own power they could only be held in check by one of their own race and henceforward at the side of a more or less powerless emperor stood a barbarian patrician as advisor and guide 20 years after the sack of Rome by guys Erick the boy Emperor to whom the Romans had given the mocking name of August Alice said on the imperial throne the motely host of barbarians who composed a Roman army demanded land in payment for their service and were refused there was amongst them a brave chief of the name of odovacar a man of noble nature electing him mr. king the army roasts in rebellion the boy Emperor was disposed and other mockery was proclaimed king of Italy the choice might have been worse the Senate powerless in the face of the difficulty resolved to make the best of a bad business sending ambassadors to say enough ampere of the East they begged him to unite the Western Empire with his own and to allow other bucer a mighty man of war to govern the Roman population as patrician to this request Xena was graciously pleased to agreed and the Empire of the West was virtually and an end for other mucker was much more than a patrician he was a king Anna knowledge is such by the barbarians who were all that was left to represent the conquering legions of Rome the authority of Siena was but a shadow it was out of occurred that ruled he was a wise man and he governed well but in his kingdom too there was a seed of decay he depended on the fidelity of an army composed of broken remnants of tribes he was in no wise to ruler if a nation when thirteen years later they came against him Theodoric hereditary king of the Ostrogoths young brave and noble with a nation at his back of the rocker and his army were hopelessly defeated the orderic was proclaimed king of Italy and for many years ruled well and wisely but there was no fusion between the Congress and the Congress the Goths were looked upon as foreigners in Italy they were Aryans as well as barbarians what power could blend these hostile races from whence was to come the new civilization that was to regenerate the world nine years before the coming of Theodoric was born in a little town of Italy a child who was destined to be the leader of a crater army an army whose watchword was to be peace and whose conquests were to be the hearts and souls of men and to this army was confided the mission of spreading the new civilization amongst the barbarian races a civilization that was founded on the faith of Christ into all the nations of

how he went forth from his father's house in the heart of the Umbrian Apennines quiet and secluded in the midst of its mountain solitude lies little city of nausea known to the Romans as Nursia here towards the end of the fifth century lives appropriate and his wife abbondanza wealthy and noble Roman's who besides their country house at mercia possessed a handsome palace in Rome they were probably the most important people in the place and there would be general rejoicing when it became known that abundant share had given birth to twin children a boy and a girl you propria sent his wife for Christians and the babies having been duly baptized by the names of Benedict in Scholastica were brought up by their devoted nurse a ruler who loved them as the apple of her eye the nurse was an important person in a Roman household being usually adopted into the family who continuing to share in the joys and sorrows upon nestling as long after they have ceased to require care Sarah was a fervent Christian and it would seem to have been to her rather than to his parents that the little Benedict confided his childish aspirations as he grew from maybe hope to voyage amongst the mountain peaks of Umbria 20 miles distant on the grateful minion way lay the city with Spoleto a busy central eye from the Roman world where the child may have seen and wondered at the barbarian splendor of the soldiers of o de Vega he would have heard two of the wise and tolerant we will exercise by the King from his court at Ravenna and how though himself Agathe and Aryan he respected the Roman laws in the Catholic faith he would have listened with all the boys loved with an adventure to the tales of old Vegas early life and how as a young and penniless soldier of fortune he had gone to ask the blessing for holy saint Severus whom he found praying in a cell so low that the tall young goth could not stand upright in it go on your way my son the old man had said you were poor now you shall be rich employees and the time to come and when he had attained his greatness Oh to Vega had remembered the Saints words and had sent to him saying I squat Bruni will rant at you and the answer had surprised the king who had expected a request for gold ore lands I know our poor exile replied the holy man who is eating his heart out for love of his native land forgive him and let him come home but appropriate and his wife were anxious about their son's education and the time came when he must leave the Breezy home of his childhood and live and study in Rome Benedict was happier among the mountain peaks of the Apennines where everything seemed to speak to his young soul of God for in Rome although it had been watered with the blood of the martyrs the spirit of martyrdom had died out and many of the Christians living as they did in daily contact with the vices of paganism had learned to think of nothing but their own comfort and pleasure Benedict was nine years old when the news came to row that Theodoric king of the Ostrogoths had descended into Italy at the head of migrating people the army which I loved a car led to meet him was defeated on the azan zone and more disastrously still at Verona this time the defeat became a rout and the King fled to Ravenna which he only surrendered to the new Turek after a three-year siege perishing shortly afterwards at the hands of the ostrogothic king who in his turn became ruler of Italy he was no rough soldier of fortune this violent young theodred whose charge in battle was as a swollen river through the harvest field and as a lion through the herd hereditary king of the Ostrogoths and born of the noble race at the Amar's he had been brought up as a hostage at the court of constantinople where he had learned to esteem what was best in ruin the civilization while stating it spices he was an Arian like most of the Goths for all Phyllis their apostle of Nishapur had made the mistake of studying his Christianity in Constantinople from an Aryan teachers and in the best of good faith had taught heresy to his pagan converts but Theodoric like oder Baker was tolerant to the Catholics and knew how to appreciate sanctity it was to the care of Saint epifanio the holy bishop of Pavia that he confided his mother wife and sister to the Battle of Verona and it was again at the intercession of Saint Anthony is that he remitted an edit that fell hardly on the followers of Odin Baker he ruled well and wisely and for 37 years Italy had peace the boy Benedict would have heard the horrors of the three-year siege of Ravenna and Roman though he was his heart may have thrilled with the tales of the valour of Theodoric he may even have seen leaking when he came to Rome and her town in spite of this arianism 'i'm not devoutly at the shrine of st. peter has Benedict grew into early manhood the sins of the city they like a weight upon his heart who could keep himself pure amid such corruption was the question he asked himself daily and what would it profit him to have all that the world could give if the price of it was to be the loss of his own soul his parents that was seen wished him to excel in his studies to shine in that Roman society to which they belonged the world with all its attractions was at his feet he was free to enjoy it his young companions had already begun to do so flinging themselves into which simple pleasures with all the ardour of their youthful niches but was such a life as this to be the end Benedict's fair ideals as aspirations after God his parents would probably have had small sympathy with such thoughts there was no one to return that serena and that sweet twin sister who sold always been like a reflection of his own that Scholastica was a girl and the problem was not so urgent for her as for her brother he may not even have dared to tell her of his project to Vesta - she'd weaken his resolve for here determined to turn this back upon that brilliant and shallow Roman world where it was so hard to move the rod which when all the sailing done was but a husk of pleasure around a heart of sorrow to Sorella alone could he open his heart and she was worthy of his trust yet he could not go alone she urged he who was so gently born and bred who had been surrounded all his life by her tender loving care she must go with him she would be no hindrance to his aspirations she would help him the Normandy undertook it was a grievous trench to Benedict two times though away from all the ties at home it was hard to refuse her request in all his childish joys and sorrows he attend first at the theatre that true and understanding heart she had never failed him so in the darkness of the night or in the hush of the early morning the two went forth together Benedicta used in the faithful and he would nursed him in his childhood and whose only clear was that she might serve him until death thus to Benedict refused what the world could give him lest in accepting he might lose his soul it was towards the simbiani mountains that he set his face remembering the hats the mountain peaks of his childhood home in Umbria and how they spoke to him of god along the Vietnam tonin hallowed by the footsteps of countless martyrs past the two Wayfarers past the Church of st. Agnes built by Constantine in the fourth century to where the willow fringed river arno flows under the bridge over which nero road when fleeing to shameful death having reached a place called on feet about two lands from Subiaco they accepted the hospitality offered them by some kind Christians who invited them to rest a while before going further Cyrilla eager to prepare some refreshment for her companion borrowed from the good neighbors the implements she needed amongst them in earthenware so great was her distress when she found that the board vessel placed perilously near the edge of the table had fallen and was broken into had tears and lamentations touched the heart of Benedict who taken the broken pieces in his hands knelt down and began to pray his prayer ended he found that the syphilis whole entire with no signs with breakage we're appalled with comforting words he was truly to his nurse Cyrilla made no secret of the marvel and the people of the place rejoicing that God had sent a saint to dwell among them came and crowds to visit him but it was not for this that Benedict had left his home he had torn himself as he thought from the world and all that you could offer him but love had followed him and honor was lame snares men's feet a long and weary fight lay before him with he was de Conchas and the spirit and it was a battle that must be waged alone in solitude and silence the grain of wheat must fall into the earth and divers work to bring forth the harvest that was to stain the world's hunger for the souls of men whether they know it or not are always hungry for God and the husks of this wine and butter story nourishment turning his back therefore Sevilla and the simple folk who already prepared to venerated as a saint benedict set out alone from the desert the first stage of the combat was at an end end of chapter 2 recorded by Ellen our new from Cambridge England chapter 3 a Saint Benedict this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org recording by evan zeiger st. Benedict by Frances Alice Forbes chapter three of the sojourn of st. Benedict in the desert and how certain monks begged him to be their abbot crossing the little ridge of hills which lies between and fee day and the rocky gorge of the anyo Benedict came to the spot where more than four hundred years before the Emperor Nero had dammed the Swift waters of the river to form an artificial lake in the grounds of the stately villa which he had built for himself in that wild and beautiful Valley the villa had long since fallen into ruins but the place lonely and deserted now saved for a few peasants and Hermits who made their home amongst the rocks was still known by the name that the wicked Emperor had given it Subic Hume or below the lake now it happened that a certain monk named Romanus had chosen this quiet spot for meditation seeing a young man whose dress and appearance showed him to be of noble birth and supposing that he had lost his way amongst the mountains he courteously inquired of him whither he was bound Benedict looking into the friendly face of the questioner whose grave eyes were bent on him with such a kindly sympathy answered simply that he did not know God had called him to a life of prayer and solitude and he was seeking a place where he could fulfill his vocation Romanus was a holy man and well-versed in the things of God entering into conversation with the young stranger he soon learned from him the story of his hasty flight from Rome and the circumstances which had led up to it a story which convinced him that he had to do with the chosen soul for whom God and a secret mission a seeding to the prayers of Benedict that he would give him the monastic habit and show him some lonely place where he might live a Hermits life Romana's clad him in the rough tunic of a monk and led him to a hollow cave in the rocks the existence of which was known to himself alone so difficult indeed with it of access that the most enthusiastic Explorer might have been discouraged in his search from beneath it could only be approached by a laborious scramble over rocks and brushwood while its roof was formed by a high and almost perpendicular rock it was a depressing and lonely dwelling place for so young an anchorite shut-in as it was on every side by the frowning mountains in a silence broken only by the murmur of the river flowing in its rocky gorge beneath but Benedict had found what he wanted and was content the monastery where Romanus lived was several miles away but the holy monk was mindful of the soul which God had in a certain measure confided to his care having promised that he would keep Benedict's secret he could only visit him at dusk when none could see where he went and the daily portion of bread that he brought him was the half of his own repast from the top of the precipice he would let it down in a basket to which was attached a little bell whose cheery tinkle called Benedict from his prayers to his only meal but the evil one says st. Gregory the Great and Ving the charity of one brother and the refreshment of the other threw a stone one day and broke the Bell and henceforth the Romanus continued to minister to the wants of his young friend the voice of the little messenger was silent so the time flowed on but Benedict had lost sight of days and hours of times and seasons lost in the contemplation of God he was learning many things that are taught in that divine school of prayer alone a knowledge that was to fit him for the work for which God had set him apart it was holy week and about three years had passed since his meeting with Romanus when the visits of the latter suddenly ceased he may have been ill or obliged to go on a journey and being bound by his promise of secrecy was unable to provide for Benedict during his absence however that may be we can be sure that he prayed that God would take care of his young charge and we know that his prayer was answered moreover the time had come when the Ministry of Benedict was to begin and God had his own ways of bringing this about there lived some miles from Subiaco a good priest who had a tiny parish in the neighborhood he was too poor to keep a servant and on the evening of Holy Saturday had set to work to prepare himself a dinner that should be worthy of the Easter Festival that night our Lord appeared to him in a vision while you have been preparing good things for your own dinner tomorrow he said a servant of mine is dying of hunger in a cave at Subiaco the priest arose at dawn and as soon as the Easter Mass was ended set off towards the mountains carrying with him the provisions he had prepared over the rocks and through the brushwood he scrambled weary and breathless searching for the holy man at last God guiding his footsteps he reached the mouth of the cave and greeting Benedict with joy and gladness told him how God had revealed him the place of his retreat after they had prayed and talked for some time together the priest invited his companion to share with him the food that he had brought it is Easter day he said when it is fitting that bencher feast Easter day indeed provide Benedict with sweet courtesy since I have merited to look upon your face thus did he practice what became afterwards a rule of his order to greet all strangers as if they were Christ himself but the priest explained to him that it was in Verity the feast of the resurrection and on that account it was not becoming too fast it is for that reason he had him that God himself has sent me to share with thee these his gifts then the two men having blessed the repast partook of it together dis coercing the while of spiritual things until it was time for the good priest to return to his flock on his homeward way he mused on all that he had seen and heard on the strange life of Benedict his wonderful holiness and the marvelous manner in which he himself had been led to seek him it is probable that he spoke of these things to the humble peasants to whom he ministered for shortly afterwards a little band of shepherds found their way to the cave seeing Benedict clothed in skins and kneeling motionless in prayer they took him for some wild beast of the forest and at first did not dare to approach but the sound of their footsteps disturbed the Saint who turned towards them such a heavenly face that they stood as if spellbound gazing at him with the greatest veneration such indeed was the charm of that beauty of holiness that some of these rough and brutal men from that very moment changed their way of life the words which Benedict addressed to them simple teaching suited to their simple mind were as sweet as his face so that it is not surprising that people began to flock to the cave from all the country round thinking it a privilege to be allowed to bring the necessaries of earthly life to him from whom they had received the message of the life that is eternal but the evil one was watching jealously God's preparation of the saint for his great mission and made a desperate attempt to Mar the work he conjured up before Benedict sighs the image of a beautiful young girl whom he had known in Rome and who had perhaps been destined by his parents for his future bride with the lovely vision came the thought of the life of ease and pleasure that he might be living the joys of that world that he had abandoned and the weary hardships the life which he had chosen so strong was the temptation that he had almost kneeled it almost left the solitude of Subiaco and set his face towards the life and love that awaited him in Rome when throwing himself into a thicket of thorns and briers he cured by the wounds of the body the wounds of the soul and the temptation departed forever the fame of the young Saint had spread meantime throughout the whole valley and a community of monks who had a convent at varriya now be Calvario 20 miles from Subiaco and who had lately lost the rabbit went in a body to ask benedict to rule over them the Sancta perhaps heard that their mode of life was no credit to their profession or perhaps with the strange intuition which was characteristic of him in later life he was able to read their hearts your ways in mind we'll never agree he answered refusing the request but the monks would not accept his refusal they desired reform they said and Benedict reluctantly and hoping perhaps to lead them to better things yielded at last to their persuasions what he had undertaken to do he did conscientiously insisting that they should obey their rule and observe religious discipline but this was not to their taste and their desire for reform soon died out in angry murmuring while each blamed the other for having conceived the mad idea of making such a man their Abbot the very holiness of Benedict a daily reproach to their own lives served only to embedder their hatred and their discontent at last reached its climax in a plot to poison the man whom they had induced against his will to put himself at their head this wicked plan however was doomed to failure when the poisoned cup was presented to Benedict in the refectory he blessed it but the sign of the Cross whereupon it fell asunder in the hands of the bearer and the wine was spilt upon the ground realizing the meaning of the miracle and reading their guilt in the pale and terrified faces of the monks Benedict addressed them with his usual quiet calm may God forgive you my brethren he said why have you plotted this wicked thing against me did I not say to you that your ways and mine would never agree seek now for another Abbot after your own heart for you can keep me here no longer with these words he went out from amongst them and returned to his beloved solitude monasticism in the West was a force which have not yet been organized although more than 100 years had passed since Saint Athanasius came to Rome all on fire with the fervor of the holy lives of the monks of the East his life of st. Anthony the father of Eastern monasticism have been translated into Latin and many had hastened to embrace the religious life on the lines of the Eastern observance but the climate of Italy was very different from that of northern Africa the rule of Saint Paco meais and Saint Anthony was hardly practicable in a colder country relaxation that crept in and the standard had been lowered for there was no fixed rule binding on all monks could go from one convent to another when they chose a source of much disorder while the fervor of each house depended almost entirely on its Abbot the monastic system in the West was waiting for the man who could adapt it to the needs of a colder climate and by giving it a special and definite form make of it an instrument for the civilization of the nations and that man was Benedict of Nursia end of chapter 3 chapter four of st.

Benedict had returned his fame has spread too far abroad for that there were other monks in the valley beside those of Varia men of a different stamp seeking God in the simplicity of their hearts but living under no particular rule and with no definite aim in their religious life for such men as these when they came to put themselves under his guidance Benedict had no refusal there were others too rough barbarians and simple dwellers in the valley who desiring to give themselves to God were seeking for one to lead them in his ways all these like fatherless children came thronging to Benedict and thus was formed the nucleus of the order that was to regenerate the world house after house was built as the need arose for further accommodation until there were 12 small monasteries under the Saints direction at the head of each of them was a prior or abbot of his own choosing who could have recourse to him in every difficulty Benedict himself lived at the monastery of st. Clements with a few chosen monks who were to be the living embodiment of his ideals and to whose spiritual formation he devoted himself unceasingly over this large family he ruled well and wisely a living example to his monks of what their lives should be and gaining the experience of men and matters that was to find expression later in the rule of his order so did the wilderness begin to blossom as the rose and as the fame of the monks of Subiaco began to spread abroad men came from all parts of Italy to see the man who had done such wonders the memory of the boy of noble name and nature who had fled from Rome to dedicate himself to God in the desert had not died out in the old capital and many Romans went to Subiaco to see Benedict and ask his advice among them came a nobleman named turtle oz who held the dignity of patrician and belonged probably to the same family as the Saint he was married to a good and fervent Christian like himself and had four children whom he brought up in the love of God and charity to the poor arriving at Subiaco clad in the Magnificent robes of his office his first action was to kneel down humbly at Benedict's feet earnestly begging him to ask God to pardon him his sins a warm friendship soon sprang up between these kindred souls and before turtle is left Subiaco he had obtained a promise from Benedict to accept and bring up in the ways of God his eldest son Placid then seven years old another young disciple was also offered to the saint by acquiesce a Roman senator in the person of his son Morris a youth of riper years remarkable already for his wisdom and purity of heart and destined to be Benedict's greatest helper in the work which lay before him to him Benedict revealed his hopes and his ideals the foundation of an order which was to adapt monasticism to the western world and to bring the barbarian nations within the fold of the church the first thing that he taught to this dearest of his sons was the value of prayer and the efforts of the evil one to hinder it to this end he took him one day to one of the monasteries where lived a monk who was in the habit of leaving the chapel during the time set apart for prayer to wonder about the house and occupy himself with other matters his superior had complained of this to the saint who rebuked the man severely for a short time things went better but ere long Benedict heard that the culprit had fallen back again into his old ways we will look into this he said and taking Morris with him went to the monastery where they knelt together in the chapel the Brethren were assembled at prayer and it was not long before the saint beheld a mysterious black figure pulling at the monk's habit who in the end succeeded in dragging him out of the oratory do you see who leads him asked Benedict of Morris and of the abbot who was beside him no they answered pray then said the Saint that your eyes may be opened and pray earnestly two days later Morris kneeling in the same place in prayer saw in his turn the vision Fouts a stem at Benedict's petition that he might learn how hateful to the evil one is the regular monastic prayer and how strong or his temptations against him take this rod and strike the monk said Benedict giving Morris his staff and at the first touch of it the enemy departed nor was the little Placid without a like training he too was to learn in a miraculous manner the power of prayer three of st. Benedict's 12 monasteries were built on the rocky mountain side and the monks had to fetch their water from the lake in the valley their lives were spent in climbing up and down the rocks they complained one day to Benedict that the work was beyond their strength build us monasteries further down Oh father they begged thought Benedict while comforting them with the gentle sympathy that made him so beloved returned no answer that night when all were sleeping he arose roused the little Placid and taking him by the hand led him to the crest of the rock on which the monasteries were built let us pray he said and they knelt together the stars shone down on the wild mountain summit the Silence of the blue Italian night in folded them the man kneeling motionless and rapt in prayer and the little child with angelic face turned Evan words nestled at his side at last the Saint arose and laying three stones one upon the other took his small disciple by the hand and returned to the monastery the next day the monks complained again go to the top of the mountain replied Benedict and in the place where you shall find three stones laid together pierce the rock cannot God Almighty by his power give you water from the top of the mountain and relieve you of your weary toil no sooner had the rock been pierced then an abundant stream of water gushed out sufficient for all the needs of the brethren not only those of noble birth but men of all conditions were as we have seen received in the monasteries of Subiaco when the barbarians those terrible conquerors of his country rough poor and ignorant came to Saint Benedict they were welcomed as warmly as the wealthy and refined thus it happened that a poor Goths coming one day and begging to be clothed in the hab of a monk was received with joy by the saint who giving him an X sent him to clear away the thorns and briers from a piece of land beside the lake the muscular goth put his heart into the work and hacked away with such goodwill that the head of the axe flew off and was lost in the water horrified at what he had done the poor barbarian ran up to the monastery and falling at the feet of the first person he met who happened to be Morris confessed his fault with many tears his distress was reported to Benedict who spoke to him kindly and went with him down to the lake taking the handle of the axe from the poor novice he held it out over the water when to the AH and astonishment of the goth the head rose from the bottom of the lake and fastened itself in its place go now my son said Benedict and work and be sad no longer for when monks work hard tools are often spoilt or broken God had already begun to reveal to Saint Benedict as he was so often to do in later years the danger that threatened those whom he loved one day the little Placid having gone down to the lake to draw water overbalanced himself and fell in brother Morris cried Benedict run quickly to the lake can help the child who was in danger of being drowned kneeling hastily for his father's blessing Morris ran down the mountainside to find that the current had carried Placid far out of his depth taking only of obeying the command he had received the young monk ran out and seized the child by the hair not perceiving until they were both on dry land that he had been walking on the water trembling he went to tell the saint of the Wonder the miracle was wrought by your obedience said Benedict nay father but by your command and through your prayers was the answer but the little Placid who was listening decided the question when I was being carried away he said I saw the cowl of my father the abbot over my head and this it was that drew me out of the water amongst the monks of Subiaco there was holiness and peace but God had decreed that his followers must suffer persecution near to the monastery of st. Clement there lived a priest called Florencia s' who was devoured with bitterness and jealousy at the sight of its prosperity he was a bad man and covetous of the presence which were offered to Benedict as well as of his reputation for holiness Lawrence E us himself had tried to pose as a saint hoping for the same results but nothing had come of it his worldly and self-indulgent life was known to all and the pretense was seen through at once if the real Saint could be got rid of he thought to himself he might have a better chance so poisoning a small loaf he sent it to Benedict as a friendly token of peace and charity the abbot received the present courteously but as had happened once before he was made aware of the danger calling a crow who came to feed everyday from his hand for all the wild creatures of the forest were his friends he bade it take the loaf in its beak and hide it where no one could find it a few hours later the bird having executed his command came back to receive its share of Benedict's frugal meal but the sight was sad at heart thinking of Florence's sin disappointed in his attempt on Benedict's life the unworthy priest conceived an infamous plan against the soul of the young monks under his care sending women of evil life into the monastery garden to entice them from their work and prayers that his beloved sons should suffer danger on his account was more than Benedict could bear realizing that he and he alone was the cause of this bitter persecution he determined to leave Subiaco and seek a dwelling place elsewhere the hatred of Florencia although it probably hastened his departure was not his only motive assembling the Brethren together he made known to them that Christ had commanded him to go to Monte Cassino to destroy their the worship of idols since this is so continued the Saint I must obey and depart you then remain here and stand firm in the Grace and the holy life of religion knowing that as you remain steadfast in this world so shall it be with you in the world to come then having set all things in order and taking with him a few monks among whom were his dear disciples Morris and Placid he set out for Monte Cassino now the news that he has succeeded at last in driving out the saint reached the ears of a Florin theists who exalt him greatly fly him to the balcony of his house to watch the little procession departing but his triumph was short-lived for even as he stood there rejoicing the balcony gave way and the wicked priest was buried in its ruins it was not long before the monks of st. Clements heard what had happened and one of them running with all haste after their departing Abbot succeeded in overtaking the little company ten miles away from Subiaco come back Oh father he cried joyfully for the priest thine enemy is dead but Benedict severely rebuking him for his joy continued on his way lamenting bitterly the evil death of Florence yes end of chapter four chapter five of st.

Benedict cleansed it of idolatry although Florent es was dead for benedict there was no turning back towards st. Clements the will of God was calling him elsewhere but in the monasteries of Subiaco there was mourning and lamentation for the father who would return no more to his sons the mountain grew pale with its own white mist the caverns wept with grief the wind wailed through the trees of the forest the very waters of the lake moaned with anguish even the wild beasts grieved for the loss of the man who was the friend of all the creatures of God wrote Marc the poet monk but the crows who had been want to share the frugal meals of the saint and to feed from his hand refused to be abandoned and went with him on his journey flying before the little party as heaven sent guides to show them the way to their destination at the monastery of st. sebastian near lottery the pilgrims stopped to rest serve and us the abbot who had heard much of st. Benedict receiving them with the greatest joy and hospitality from thence along the valley of the Leary's they came to the province of companion celebrated in earlier times as one of the most fertile and flourishing regions of the Roman Empire but the days of its prosperity had long since passed away devastated by incursion after incursion of barbarian armies there was little to be seen when Benedict and his monks first set foot in the country but desolation and decay through the mists of it led the Great Latin Way over which had streamed the Gothic hosts of Alaric Oda Baker and Theodoric and the vandal hordes of the gays Eric the inhabitants flying in terror before the savage invaders had taken refuge in the mountains leaving the cultivated country to revert to marshland and wilderness the Roman town of calcium or casino which had been celebrated for its fine buildings its many inhabitants and its noble families lay on the mountainside near the Latin Way looking down on the smiling valley of the Leary's at the coming of st. Benedict in ad 529 it was deserted and partly in ruins while there remained of its many inhabitants only a rustic population living in the mountain fastnesses under continual terror of fresh invasion the city had been Christian since apostolic times Saint Peter according to tradition having sent in its first bishop but during the terrible years of the barbarian conquests it had fallen back into paganism the mission of st. Benedict was to bring the strayed sheep back into the fold of Christ It was as the messenger of the gospel that he came amongst the people stunned and terrified by misfortune for the pagan monte cassino was destined to be the cradle of a Christian civilization that was to spread through all the countries of Europe an ideal that was to last even to the present day say Benedict seems to have been well received by the qasimi's pagans though they were this however may have been partly owing to the fact that he came amongst them as owner of the land on which their city stood it had been given to him by the patrician Totalus to whom it originally belonged and who probably hoped by this donation to redeem it from idolatry it was in the spirit of apostles that the little band of monks said about their work striving to draw men to Christ both by word and by example the mountain heights which rose above the city were clothed with magnificent forests sacred to the worship of the heathen gods to whom the people still offered sacrifice on the highest crest surrounded with walls and towers part of the ancient defenses of the city stood a temple dedicated to Apollo from thence a sacred grove led to an altar where sacrifices were offered to the same deity further down the mountain side was a still older wall dating from prehistoric times and consisting of enormous blocks of stone flanked by a rudely constructed Tower at the first sight of this stronghold of idolatry Benedict knelt on the rocks and prayed for seeing that the task which lay before him would be no easy one yet the teachings of Christianity were not quite extinct in the hearts of the people of Ksenia and there were a good many amongst them who received the saint as a father following him wherever he went lest they should lose a word of his teaching these were the first fruits of his prayers but there still remained the greater number of the people sunk in idolatry and paganism to the eyes of Benedict enlightened by long years of communing with God many things were clear that were hidden from the sight of his disciples he knew that the work which lay before him was destined to be the seed of a great enterprise and was not to be lightly undertaken it was the beginning of the holy season of Lent a fit time for prayer and penance shut himself up in the rude tower which gave entrance to the lower and older wall of the city Benedick prepared himself after his master's example for the ministry which lay before him the first converts of the Saint whose hearts he had already won were greatly distressed at this sudden withdrawal they besieged the tower says the old Chronicle earnestly beseeching their newly found teacher to show himself once more amongst them their lamentations were in vain it was not until the sacred Easter day had dawned that Benedict at last came forth from his retreat chanting the Alleluia of the Paschal feast the joyful cry was taken up by the monks Andrey echoed by the faithful who stood without the tower then with a cross held on high before them Benedict and his little band of disciples followed by those of the townspeople who had been one to Christ by his preaching ascended the mountainside to where within the walls of the Citadel stood the ancient Temple of Apollo entering the sacred grove where the pagans were want to offer their sacrifices the monks set to work to cut down the trees which were to serve later for the building of the monastery this done they proceeded to the crest of the mountain where stood a great statue of the God on a column of Parian marble casting it down from its pedestal the saint planted the cross they were carrying in its place and on the side of the altar of sacrifice which they also overthrew they set to work to build an oratory which was to be dedicated to Saint John the Baptist the temple itself having been purified and blessed by Benedict became a Christian Church under the protection of st. Martin of Tours the mountain thus cleansed of its pagan associations Benedict set to work to preach Christianity in the surrounding country but in this devastate spot where terror of the barbarian went hand-in-hand with pagan superstition there was one soul who had remained faithful to his God this was a holy hermit called Martin who dwelt in a cave on the mountain which was given over to the worship of Apollo day and night his prayers had interceded for a backsliding people until Benedict having come to Cassino he felt that his mission was fulfilled it has been said that that arrival of the saint and the work that he was to accomplish had been made known to the anchorite by revelation whether this was so or not after having visited the man of God and asked his counsel the Hermit left his cave at Monte Cassino and retired to another at some distance from the city there wishing to increase his penance he bound himself by an iron chain to the rock so that he could not stir from the place where he had made his abode this was an austerity of which Saint Benedict did not approve he therefore sent a message to the Hermit by one of his disciples if thou art a servant of God it ran let not a chain of iron hold thee but the chain of the love of Christ the Hermit had one son fashioned his chain although he lived and died without setting foot outside his cave some disciples who had gathered round him in his solitude he sent to Benedict bidding them take him as their spiritual guide they were the first locations of Monte Cassino for as the poet monk mark says the temples of the Living God were to be established where the idols had been overthrown and Benedict was to make fruitful the sterile works of men by watering their arid hearts with the dew of salvation it is always through hard labor he says that we aspire to perfect things and the path is always narrow that leads to the happy life it was indeed a life of hard labor and of great privation that was led by the monks in those early days at Monte Cassino while the monastery was building no workmen were employed for the monks wrought themselves in the intervals of preaching to the people a few came from Subiaco to help in the great work that was to do so much for the salvation of souls but Benedict alone was the architect and his disciples the builders in the meantime they lived where the pagan priests of Apollo had dwelt near the tower in the citadel which Benedict had made his home going forth from time to time into the surrounding country to preach the faith the barren fields to had need of cultivation the terrified country people had to be encouraged to repair the ravages wrought by the barbarians with faith and Christ came confidence for the future the fields became fertile once more under the busy hands that found something everywhere to be done for God houses were rebuilt some semblance of peace and prosperity began to appear in that desolate region it was a faint foreshadowing of what the order was to do for the world in the days to come end of chapter 5 Chapter six of st.

Benedict by Frances Alice Forbes chapter six of the building of the Abbey and of the disciples of st. Benedict the abbey of Monte Cassino rose rapidly under the busy hands of the monks but it was not likely that the enemy of all good would easily allow himself to be driven out of a district where he had obtained such power strange portents hindered the Brethren in their work the stones that they were trying to lift would suddenly become a moveable and remained so until Benedict blessed them with the sign of the Cross a vision of flames burst out suddenly in the half-completed building and terrified the monks who ran hither and thither seeking for water but Benedict made them sign their eyes with the holy sight and there was no fire to be seen to the saint himself the evil one appeared in a terrible form threatening and reviling him not Benedict not blessed but a cursed art that he cried why hast thou come to torment me a wall which the brethren were building fell suddenly without apparent cause bearing in its ruins a young monk named Severus this time it would have seemed that the spirit of evil had trained and the builders lifting the shattered and lifeless body of their companion in their arms carried it to Benedict and laid it at his feet with no other comment than their tears but the Saint who was praying redoubled his prayers and presently the young workman went forth again to his labour as if nothing had befallen in the walls of the old Citadel were used to form part of the monastery and of the tower that flanked them st. Benedict made his own abode it was divided into two stories in the lower room he read wrote and received the many visitors who thronged to see him while the upper one served him as oratory the church of the monastery was the old temple of apollo which had been purified and dedicated to Saint Martin of Tours within the enclosure there were dormitories for the monks for the boys who were under their charge and for the novices cells for guests and for the poor refectory kitchen workshops for different trades and a library where the monks could read and study the newly founded monastery was quickly filled every day brought new disciples who rich or poor gentle or simple learn it or ignorant received the same welcome all that st. Benedict asked was a humble and docile spirit willingness to work an earnest desire to love and serve God associated with the Saint in the government of the house where his two dear disciples Marvis and Placid fit sons of such a father and beloved by all for their wisdom and holiness of constantine who lived long with Saint Benedict and succeeded him as abbot we know nothing save that he was revered in the order as a saint as were also Paulinus and a guest in his companions among those who form that first community at Monte Cassino were simplicious and fastest who when after years went with st. Morris to France mark the poet who had followed his master from Subiaco the brave little group who were later to set out with Placid into Sicily there to meet the martyr death and Severus the boy monk who had been raised to live by the prayers of Benedict and was henceforward loved by him with an especial tenderness the news of the transformation that had been brought about in Monte Cassino came in due time to the ears of Tortola in Rome who at once set out to visit the monastery with him went acquiesce the father of Marvis and we can imagine with what joy they were welcomed by Benedict and his young disciples great was the consolation of Tortola at the good work accomplished he confirmed his gift of the land by charter asking only that when his time came to die he might be buried in the monastery he made over also to the man of God a property which he possessed in Sicily in the hope that a Benedictine monastery might be founded there it was well for the people of Kappa iana that they had found a father in the Saint and that monte cassino was a refuge for all who were in sorrow or distress for the troubles of the country were by no means at an end the emperor justinian had succeeded his uncle on the throne of the eastern empire and the dream of his heart was to reconquer the empire of the west a brilliant young officer called Belisarius was winning renown at the head of his army and sicily had already fallen to his sword the glorious Theodoric was dead his successor was but a child the moment seemed ripe to sweep the Goths beyond the barriers of the Empire and to unite it under one Caesar as of old the conquering legions of Belisarius penetrated into Italy the Goths made a desperate resistance plague and famine followed in the footsteps of war the country people reduced to the last extremity dyed by hundreds grass and acorns were eaten as food and ghastly tales were told of famished creatures who fed on human flesh and mothers who with their own children to death rather than witness their sufferings the poorer inhabitants of camp in Jana besieged the monastery begging for bread nor did they beg in vain give for the love of God sit Benedict while there is anything left to give until there came a day when there was nothing for the monks frugal meal this thought some of the Brethren was carrying charity a little too far and they gave way to despondency not fancying the prospect of death by starvation Benedict approached them gently for their want of competence are you troubled at the lack of bread he asked true there is not much today but there will be more tomorrow the next day two hundred bushels of flour were found at the monastery gate the gift of an unknown benefactor and the monks who had complained gave thanks to God resolving to put their trust in his Providence for the future it was not only flower that was wanting but everything else there came one day to the monastery a certain deacon called pepitas who asked the months if for the love of God they could not give him a little oil now there was no oil left in the cellar but a little drop at the bottom of a small vessel and the cellar beam bidden to give that little store - I kept it us thought proper to pretend to be a little hard of hearing on being asked shortly afterwards if he had obeyed Benedict's command he excused himself by saying that he felt sure that there had been some mistake since if he had given the oil there would not have remained a drop in the house bring the jar of oil here said Benedict and throw it out that window less what has been preserved through disobedience should bring a curse upon the house the crestfallen seller obeyed the abbot's orders and the jar fell upon the rocks beneath go now said the Saint turning to another monk and fetch the oil and give it to Agra Pettus the astonishment of the messenger was great when he found the vessel hole and the oil instilled marveling greatly he climbed up the rock and having given it to the subdeacon returned to the abbot cell placing an empty jar in the middle of the floor the Saint then bade the brethren kneel and pray fervently as they did so the oil rose to the lip of the vessel and flowed over on the ground whereupon Benedict having approved the cellar before them all for his disobedience and want of faith exhorted him to show himself more trustful for the future it was not only food for the body but comfort for their sorrow in hearts that the people came to seek at Monte Cassino a poor man who had lost his only son brought the little body in his arms to Benedict asking that if it were the will of God he would restore the child to life by his prayers the poor countrymen was so breathless with weeping and his hurried climb up the mountainside that he could only hold out his pitiful little burden and gasps for the Saints name but a brother who met him understood well enough what he wanted he is working in the fields with the monks he told him and the man laying his child's body tenderly upon the ground at the monastery door when to seek the abbot he had not gone far when he met the saint returning with the monks to the house give me back my son my little son implored the poor father falling at Benedict's feet he is dead restore him to life the man's despair touched the monks added their entreaties to his but Benedict reproved them gravely such deeds are for the holy apostles he answered and not for a man like me but the child's father would take no denial I will not go away he said till my son is restored to me he is there at the gate of the monastery they went together to the spot and Benedict kneeling by the motionless little body laid his hands upon it and raised his eyes to heaven regard not my sins O Lord he prayed but the faith of this man who implores thee to give him back his child even as he spoke a tremor ran through the little body and the child breathed again raising him to his feet Benedict gave him back to his father and the two went down the mountain path hand-in-hand together soon after the foundation of Monte Cassino an assembly of holy women had gathered in the neighbourhood under the rule and guidance of st. Benedict some of them lived in a monastery at Pea marolla in the valley of the Lear's their Abbess being Scholastica the beloved twin sister of Saint Benedict who having dedicated herself from her earliest childhood to God had come to Monte Cassino to live under her brothers direction others lived in twos or threes in their own houses and having also consecrated themselves to the service of God followed a definite rule amongst these were two ladies of noble birth who though desirous of leading a holy life had not quite succeeded in overcoming nature and the prejudices of the world in order that they might be more free to follow their vocation a certain good man perhaps one of the monks of Monte Cassino was deputed by Benedict to take them what they needed and to act in some sort as their servant this individual however whether monk or layman was of humble condition and this the noble ladies could not forget no longer able to bear their sharp words and contemptuous language the poor victim at last complained to Saint Benedict who warned the to wreak looses that if they did not mend their ways and practice charity more perfectly he would be obliged to excommunicate them nature however prevailed over Grace and matters became worse instead of better but the unfortunate man who did his best to bear his troubles patiently was destined to be soon delivered from his sharp tongued persecutors the to wreak looses died and were buried in the precincts of the church now it happened that their old nurse who had lived with them assisting at Mass and going up to the altar to offer the accustomed oblation for her two mistresses saw sight that filled her with fear it was the moment when before beginning the Canon of the mass the priest turned into the congregation ordered the catechumens and excommunicated persons to depart from the church as the words left his lips to shadowy figures arose from the newly made tomb and stole silently out at the door the same thing having occurred several times the nurse in great distress went to Benedict and told him what she had seen take this oblation he said and offer it for them on my behalf this was done and the dead henceforward slept in peace end of chapter 6 chapter st. Benedict this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org recording by Hugh Gillis st. Benedict by Frances Alice Forbes chapter 7 of the rule of Saint Benedict and how the man of God set all in order the great defect in the monastic life of the West before the time of Saint Benedict was the want of unity the eastern rule not being adapted to the needs of a colder climate was only partially kept and each head of a religious house governed according to his own ideas some undertook too much and growing weary of a life of excessive austerity cast away all restraint whilst others allowed themselves so much Liberty that they did small honor to their religious profession law and order in the monastic life were needed and they were given to the world in the rule of Saint Benedict the father of Western monasticism as he has been called and had a long experience of human nature he knew its strengths and its weakness its aspirations and its needs he himself had practiced great austerities in his cave at Subiaco but he had realized that such a life was for the few rather than for the many and the religious life as he has dreamed of it was to be for all for every class of mind and for every degree of learning for the educated and for the ignorant for sinners and for saints so with the wisdom that comes of experience and the understanding that comes of sympathy he set to work to compile his rule the principles of which he had already put into practice in his government of the monasteries of Subiaco the monastery was to be above all a family there was to be no distinction of rank or condition no man of noble birth was to be preferred on that account before one who had been a slave the sole distinction was to be personal merit at the head of all as father of the family was the abbot to him all odd respect and obedience and obedience that was to be prompt cheerful and unquestioning he was to act as a true father gentle with a weak turned towards the rebellious just towards all ruling as the representative of Christ rather by love than by fear chosen by the common consent of the monks he was to be chaste sober and merciful he was to act with prudence when correcting those beneath him remembering that he too was human and subject to the frailties of human nature he was to rule so that the strong might still have something to strive for and the weak might have nothing to fear there were to be no excessive austerities humility and obedience were to be the service of the Benedictine monk and by the practice of these virtues he was to offer himself a living sacrifice to his God the cloister was to be a school of useful workers whose Labor's were sanctified by prayer the bodies of the monks were to be kept healthy that they might be more fit for both the long tunic and hood which formed the monastic dress were the ordinary working clothes of the people cleanliness was to be observed by all and to be provided for by the authorities the food though simple was to be sufficient to sustain the strength of men who were hard workers for the life of the monks was one of Labor and they ate their bread literally in the sweat of their brow idleness as Saint Benedict well knew is the enemy of all good and in the monastery there was work for all reading study manual labour succeeded each other at regular intervals the monks were interned preachers writers historians husband men and as each had capacity even the infirm and the sick were to be encouraged to undertake some occupation adapted to their strength that none being idle might fall an easy prey to temptation yet to the sick all tenderness was to be shown let them be served and every deed as Christ himself says st. Benedict and everything was to be done to make them contented and happy there was to be no mine and dine in the monastery for everything was to be in common and all that was necessary for the Brethren was to come to them through the hands of the abbot the great spiritual center of the monastic life was to be the public prayer in common the recitation of the Divine Office which was to be the fruitful source of strength zeal and inspiration the day was so planned that work and prayer succeeded each other but if the prayer was to be the work of God the work was to be also a prayer no novice was received in the monastery until his virtue and perseverance had been put to the test if after having been two months in the house he was considered a suitable subject the rule was read to him here is the law under which you desire to fight they then said to him if you can keep it remain if not you are free to depart it belonged to the abbot to arrange that each one should have the work that was best suited to his abilities and as everything used in the monastery was made by the monks there was scope for every talent each department was under the care of a competent overseer who was responsible for everything that concerned it that the monks were excellent workmen and husband men few people will dispute they came to a bear and berry country and made it blossom like the rose mark the poet draws a picture of their work at Cassino in a poem where he makes the mountain think the saint for all that he has done for it now changes the desert lands into smiling gardens and covers the barren mountains with fruitful shoots and the rock marvels at the wheat crops and the fruits that are not its and the wood becomes green with the waving apple trees there are writers of the present day who are careful to point out to us how far from unworldly has the eagerness of the monks to select the most beautiful spots where and to build their monasteries the true state of things was very different it was more often than not on the barest and most barren land that they settled and in the sweat of their brow that they tilled the land and made it fruitful in the days when slavery lay like a curse upon Europe and labour was considered a disgrace Benedict the patrician with Placid and Morris and others of the noblest of the families of Rome went forth to labor side by side with the son of the slave let him that is the greatest among you be your servant said their master and in the monastery that precept was obeyed but it is not only in the fertility of the land that the work of the monks has survived by their patient labor in the scriptorium were preserved and handed down to future generations the treasures of classical literature and the only histories of the time that we possess the Holy Scriptures the works of the Fathers of the Church and many others would have been lost to the world had it not been for their diligence and it is from their Chronicles chiefly that our knowledge of the saints is drawn many of the monks by the abbot's orders devoted themselves to study for among other things the monastery was a school boys and youths as was the case with morrison placid were received into the house and educated either for the religious life or for a worldly career teachers had to be provided for the young pupils that they might learn to read and write to interpret and to transcribe grammars and textbooks had to be compiled for their use and multiplied by copying it was the custom in those days for parents to dedicate their children while still in the early youth of their religious life as the little samuel was dedicated to the service of God his pious mother so did these good people bring their sons to the monastery the little neophytes were offered before the altar the sacred corporal was wrapped around their baby hands and they became from henceforth one of the religious family these infant novices brought an element of youthful gaiety into the monastery they were brought up and instructed by the elder brethren and they usually made good and fervent monks they were the children of the house around it clustered all the sweetest memories of their early days the abbot was their father the Brethren their family Saint Boniface the apostle of Germany became a monk at five years old our own st. bead at seven this was the age at which the little ablates began their education their first lesson book was the Psalter which as soon as they could read they learnt by heart grammar followed with the study of the Latin tongue and literature not so difficult to them since it was their native language at 14 those who were dedicated to the religious life began the studies necessary for a monk while those who were destined for the world entered on their secular career for the former natural taste and capacity were taken into account the higher education might consist of theology medicine mathematics painting or music sculpture or wood carving while transcription was the most common study of all those of the monks who had no book learning were trained in manual labour but all lent a hand in the cultivation of the monastery lands the care of guests and pilgrims was entrusted to monks have tried virtue they were to treat the guests who came to the monastery as if they were Christ Himself remembering that he had said I was a stranger and you took me in on their arrival their feet were washed by the abbot who took his meals with them and showed them every courtesy the poor were to be treated with no less honor than the rich since they were the especial represented of Christ in the time of Saint Benedict a continuous stream of guests passed backwards and forwards for Monte Cassino Abbot's of other religious houses came to seek his counsel nobles and bishops came to see the quiet strong peace-loving man who by his wisdom and keen power of sympathy had become the center of the lives and interests of all around him the poor and the destitute came to him for succor in their distress and the sinful and sorrowful for spiritual help and all these going their different ways in the world spread abroad the fame of the holiness of the monks and the peace of the monastic life which seemed to them like a foretaste of the Peace of paradise and men who were weary of the world with its sin its turmoil and unrest hearing of this oasis in the desert came to offer themselves to Benedict as disciples that they too might learn the way of peace even the barbarians as we shall see later felt themselves strangely attracted by they knew not what of unearthly magnetism and in the presence of Benedict laid aside their savagery and became meek as little children they were rough and unlearned but they're strong nature's were capable of receiving the Christian faith for paganism vanquished by the cross the subduer of the world did not surrender itself to the desecration of a proud Conqueror it surrendered to Christ who was meek and humble of heart end of chapter 7 Chapter eight of Saint Benedict this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org recording by Ed Harrigan st. Benedict by Frances Alice Forbes chapter eight of the gift of vision and how the Saint read the hearts of men of all the supernatural gifts which God has given to his Saints perhaps that of being able to read the hearts of others is the most common though the understanding love and sympathy that comes from self-forgetfulness has no doubt its partner in the matter it cannot quite explain the mystery Saint Benedict like most founders of a religious order possessed this gift in a remarkable degree and many instances of its exercise are made known to us by his contemporaries one day when some of his monks had been obliged as occasionally happened to go out on business they were not able to return until a later hour than usual it was the rule that the Brethren should take no meals outside the monastery but on this occasion hungry they had gone to the house of a Christian woman who was known to them and asked for a refreshment delighted to be able to do the monks a service the good housewife set before them the best that she had and after having appeased their hunger they went their way home words on returning to the monastery they were met by the saint who asked them where they had refreshed themselves fearful of a reproof they declared that they had taken nothing whereupon Benedict quietly told them where they had been and what they had eaten falling at his feet they asked his pardon which was instantly granted but act up rightly in the future he added for even when absent from you in the flesh I am present in the spirit a certain man who used to come every year to Monte Cassino to see his brother who was a monk had made the resolution never to break his fast on the journey being tempted one day however he gave way to be gently reproached on his arrival by Benedict who knew exactly what had passed on another occasion one of the monks who was preaching to the nuns in a neighboring convent accepted at their request a present of handkerchiefs for his own use as however the rule forbade the acceptance of the gifts he hid them in the bosom of his tunic and presently forgot all about them on his return to the monastery he was sent for by the abbot who asked him why he had been unfaithful to his rule take out of your bosom and cast away from you he said what has been the occasion of your fall one evening when Benedict was partaking of his frugal evening meal there stood beside him according to the custom of the house a young monk whose Duty it was to hold the lamp and to serve a table now it happened that this particular monk who was of noble birth began to rebel in his heart against the menial office he was performing who is this man he asked himself indignantly who sits and eats while I who should by rights be waited on by others attend him like a slave in silence he fulfilled the duties of his office a tempest of Pride and anger in his heart but his thoughts were as clear to Benedict as if they'd been uttered aloud sign thy heart with the cross my brother he said in a voice of stern rebuke sign thy heart with the cross what is it that thou art saying sign thy heart with the cross then bidding the young server give the lamp to one of his brethren he sent him away for an hour of silent prayer during which the novice fought with and overcame his temptation on being asked by the others what had occasioned the unusually stern rebuke the culprit told them the whole story there is no thought of our hearts that is hidden from the knowledge of our Father he said they are all as spoken words to him the bravest warrior among the Goths at this time was the famous Thoth illa their King a brilliant soldier and tactician he was not without nobility of nature although as an Aryan he had persecuted many monks and priests of the Catholic Church one of his followers named gala was especially bitter against the Catholics and it sworn to take the life of every monk he met one day went on a plundering expedition he seized a poor peasant and ordered him to give up his possessions the man who was really penniless maintained that he had nothing but on being put to the torture declared that he had given all he possessed into the keeping of Benedict the abbot of Monte Cassino binding him securely the savage barbarian drove him before him to the monastery that he might demand of the saint the money that had been entrusted to his charge Benedict who was reading in the doorway of his cell did not move at their approach get up roared the goth and give me this man's money the saint then lifting his eyes from his book fixed them on the peasant who stood trembling with fear at the thought of the punishment he deserved for his deception at the glance of those steadfast eyes the bonds which held him snapped as if they had been cut with a knife and fell at his feet it was now the turn of the goth to tremble but Benedict without rising from his seat called to his monks and bade them take the astonished gala to the refectory that he might partake of refreshment and receive the blessing due to a guest nor was the blessing without its effect for before he left the monastery the savage barbarian knelt at the feet of the saint and having confessed his faults and listened humbly to his instructions promised to amend his ways the change in his behavior did not escape the notice of his companions and the whole story having been repeated to Thoth illa the king conceived a great desire to see the man who could work such wonders he had no intention however of taking the Saints miraculous powers for granted having sent a messenger to Benedict to inform him that the Gothic king would shortly pay him a visit Thoth illah determined to test his reported insight by sending another in his place dressing up his sword bearer Rigo in his royal armor and purple mantle he bade him ride up to the monastery and announced himself as the king in order that the deception might be complete he bade three of his noblest courtiers who usually attended him wherever he went to ride at the head of the guard of honor that was to act as escort up the steep mountain road with much tramping of horses and jingling of arms rode the gay cavalcade creating perhaps some little flutter of excitement in the silent monastery Benedict stood at the door of his cell looking out with quiet eyes at the approaching company no word did he speak until the mock King was ready to dismount when he addressed him in stern accents put off my son he said that which thou whereas or it is not thine own the unfortunate Rigo terrified at the Saints detection of the fraud fell flat on his face before him an example of which the rest of the troupe thought well to imitate when they at length arose it was not to come forward but to gallop back with all possible beed to tote illa with the news of the detection the Gothic King much impressed with their story determined this time to go in person desiring to behave with the respect due to a saint he dismounted at a little distance from the monastery and prostrated himself humbly before Benedict who was again reading at the door of his cell the Saint called out to him to rise but seeing that he did not do so went himself to meet him raised him up and led him to the monastery finding the king in such good dispositions he began to reprove him gently for the evil he had done and exhorted him to lead a better life in the future while Thoth illa who seemed deeply moved and not a little frightened listened humbly to what he had to say then the saint uttered the prophecy that was to come so strangely true in every particular thou shalt enter Rome he said thou shalt cross the sea nine years shalt thou reign and in the tenth thou shalt die at these words the Barbarian King was more terrified than ever and having begged the prayers of Benedict departed it was remarked of Thoth illa that he was a changed man after the interview and many beautiful tales are told of kindness shown to captives and mercy shown to enemies during the last ten years of his reign within the year he defeated the forces of Justinian and became Lord of Rome in the tenth year after his interview with the saint he crossed to Sicily and a few weeks later in a battle with narcy's the general of the Emperor lost both his life and his kingdom it was the final defeat of the great ostrogothic race which as a nation disappears from history Italy under Darcys became an ex arcade of the Empire of the East and was governed by Byzantine law on several occasions Saint Benedict foretold the things that were to happen after his death he was talking one day with the Bishop of canosa about the entrance of totala into Rome the city will be so destroyed lamented the bishop that it will be no more inhabitable not so answered the saint it is not by the hand of the barbarians that Rome shall be ruined but by tempest s' lightnings whirl winds and earthquakes which things says st. Gregory the Great writing some 50 years later we ourselves have seen on another occasion a monk of Monte Cassino called Theia Probus chosen by the saint on account of his holy life to be his familiar friend and confidant entering the cell of the abbot found him weeping bitterly Thea Probus having asked the cause of his tears Benedict replied with many lamentations with care and labor have I built this monastery and striven to make its inmates true servants of God and now behold God has made known to me that after my death it will fall into the hands of the infidels only by my prayers and supplications have I succeeded in obtaining that the lives of the brethren should be spared st. Gregory again bears witness to the truth of the prophecy for during his lifetime the monastery of Monte Cassino was destroyed by the lombards who entered it during the night while the monks were asleep yet though they destroyed everything on which they could lay their hands not one of the brethren perished protected by the prayers of the saint they fled from their mountain retreat and found shelter in the city of Rome it was here that Saint Gregory the Great learnt from the monks who had been the intimate hands of the saint the story of his life and miracles and reading his rule was so entranced by its wisdom that he himself embraced it end of chapter 8 recording by Edie Harrigan chapter 9 of Saint Benedict this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org recording by Edie harrigan saint benedict by Frances Alice Forbes chapter nine of the going forth of the sons of Saint Benedict and of the spreading of the order the time had come when Morris and Placid the most beloved of st. Benedict's disciples were to carry the rule of their master into other countries the first foundation was to be in Sicily on the land which had been given to the Saint by the patrician tertullus when he came to visit him at Monte Cassino was it for this reason that the son of tertullus was chosen for the mission or was it that Benedict knowing the fruitfulness of a good work which is rooted in sacrifice chose deliberately to separate himself from what was most dear to him on earth we do not know that Placid was pre-eminently fitted for the work was proved by the unanimous consent of the Brethren when the Saint proposed him for the undertaking as the hour of parting drew near Benedict comforted his sorrowing disciple with inspiring words bidding him enter with a stout heart on the great mission which lay before him and prophesying that he would win the martyrs crown in the spring of the year 537 he set forth on his journey accompanied by the little band of monks who were to carry the traditions of their found into Sicily their first halt was at Capua where Germanness the bishop an intimate friend of st. Benedict's received them with cordial hospitality at canosa they were entertained by another warm admirer of their holy Abbot everywhere they went the sun's of such a father were received with open arms no sooner had they arrived at Messina then Placid set to work at the foundation of the new monastery but little is known of his apostolate in the island he was martyred as st. Benedict had foreseen during an invasion of the barbarians with him perished two of his brothers and his sister Flavia who had come from Rome to pay him a visit together with the greater number of the monks when Saint Benedict received the news of the death of this first martyr of the order he burst out into Thanksgiving that it had been granted to his beloved Placid to give his life for the faith the mission of Morris was to be yet further afield while Benedict was still a youth pursuing his studies at his father's house in Rome the pagan king of the Franks Claude of Achor Clovis had married clotilda the niece of gundabad king of Burgundy Clos tilde's mother had been a fervent Catholic whose gentle influence on her Aryan husband had induced him to allow her to bring up her children in the Catholic faith Clovis was at this time engaged in fighting with the powerful tribes of the allamani and for some time resisted the entreaties of his wife that he would renounce paganism and embrace the Catholic faith but the day dawned when facing a powerful army of his foes the Frankish King realized that on the battle that was about to be fought rested his whole hope of sovereignty recalling to mind the earnest words of his wife he uttered his first Christian prayer Oh Jesus Christ he cried whom clotilda declares to be the son of the Living God and who art said to give help to those who are in trouble if they trust in thee I humbly beseech thy assistance I have called on my gods and they are far from my help if thou wilt deliver me from my enemies I will believe in thee and be baptized in thy name the result of the battle was a complete triumph for the king of the Franks who returning to his wife received baptism in the cathedral at Reims on Christmas Day 496 at the hands of the archbishop st. remy GEOSS bow thy head said the holy archbishop to his royal convert as he stood before the font and burning what thou hast adored adore what thou hast burned the consequences of his conversion were great the sword of the most powerful ruler in Europe was hence forward to be drawn in defense of the true faith while the whole Frankish nation absurd paganism and France became a Catholic country it takes time however to win a barbarian people but lately steeped in paganism to Catholic faith and practice it is not surprising therefore that some 40 years later we find innocent Bishop of man's writing to Benedict to beg him to send some of the most experienced of his monks to found a monastery of his rule in Gaul although Morris had been for long his right hand in the government of Monte Cassino Benedict resolved at once more to call down the grace of God on the enterprise by making the sacrifice of this beloved son the hearts of the Brethren were sore at the thought of losing one who was so much beloved by them all they could not but agree with their holy Abbot that the wisdom and holiness of Morris pointed him out as the fittest among them for the work yet Morris who after the example of his holy father generously accepted the sacrifice could not altogether conceal his grief at the thought of the parting a grief which was universally shared the tears and lamentations of the Brethren touched the heart of the abbot who forgetting his own sorrow at the sight of theirs tried his best to comfort them since charity is kind most dearly beloved sons and brothers he said we are bound by it to show kindness to all who are in need of it and to desire the good of others rather than our own I beg you therefore by the fatherly love I bear you to restrain your tears and sadness let us beware lest that which to others is a cause of salvation may become to some of us through excess of grief an occasion of loss know also that we who are bound together by the holy bond of charity cannot be separated by distance for in Christ we ever are and ever shall be one then turning to the little band of monks who had been chosen to go to France with Morris you most dear brethren he said who are going forth to work for God in a distant land act manfully and be strengthened the more you suffer for souls the greater will be your reward and grieve not at the thought that my death must be close at hand for when I shall have laid aside this mortal body I shall be nearer to you than ever and more powerful by God's grace to help you brave and hopeful words but the heart of the old man went out with a wistful tenderness after the travellers having led them as far as the monastery gate he blessed them and bade them a last farewell watching them through eyes that were dim with tears as with heavy hearts they descended the mountain paths their first stopping place was acronym where they were to spend the night at a house belonging to the monastery and here they found another token of their fathers fostering care two monks had been sent on beforehand from Monte Cassino to prepare for their reception and to give them a hospitable welcome nor was this all at daybreak next morning as they were about to continue their journey a little deputation consisting of two young monks of whom one fell ECC mousse was the cousin of saint morris came to wish them a last Godspeed bringing with them some small mementos of monte cassino and a letter from saint benedict except most beloved the saint had written this last gift of thy master as a token of his enduring love of thee then after having prophesied that Morris would pass through many tribulations during which he would be sustained by the goodness of God he announced that he would enter into the joys of heaven after sixty years spent in the religious life may us now be happy he prayed in thy going forth and still more happy in thy end filled with joy and consolation at the thought that the heart and the prayers of the saint the little party set out once more on their journey Morris having first taken his young cousin apart and exhorted him to be faithful to his vocation the first Benedictine monastery in Gaul was founded at Glanville in Anjou st. Morris was its Abbot till the Year 581 when he died in the odour of sanctity several other foundations were made in Italy during the lifetime of Saint Benedict besides the monasteries of Subiaco and Monte Cassino he presided over that of teresina built on the property of a holy man who had begged the saint to send some of his monks to found their a religious house others were built on the various properties given by tertullus to the saint it was in a Benedictine monastery on the island of Ponza that Belisarius at the command of the wicked empress theodora imprisoned pope saint silvers who was later to die the martyrs death another monastery erected during the lifetime of benedict at nova leisa in piedmont was ruined by the Lombards about the same time as that of Monte Cassino in another situated in Perugia lived the monk Saint hair colonist who became bishop of the city and was murdered by the Goths the destruction of the abbey of Monte Cassino some 40 years after st. Benedict's death which might have destroyed us well the work of a lifetime seemed through the Providence of God rather to assist its development the abbot and those of the monks who had fled to Rome to seek the protection of Pope Pelagius ii took up their abode temporarily in the monastery of the Lateran where they spread the traditions and the teaching of their founder it was here as we have seen that Gregory the scion of a noble Roman family and afterwards Pope Saint Gregory the Great took the Benedictine habit and so became the first of the sons of st. benedict to wear the papal tiara a few monks however when the abbey of Monte Cassino was sacked by the lombards concealed themselves among the mountains to return after the first force of the invasion had spent itself to their ruined monastery where they remained faithful guardians of the tomb of their holy founder a little more than a hundred years later Petrin acts a certain pious citizen of Brescia who had come to Rome to venerate the tombs of the apostles spoke to the Pope of his desire to help in the restoration of Monte Cassino his suggestion having been received with enthusiasm he set out at once for the ruined Abbey where he found a few anchorites living in the greatest poverty the work of restoration progressed satisfactorily and in due time Petro knacks having received the Benedictine habit was chosen abbot of the monastery in the year 757 the monks of the Lateran return to the ancient home of their order by this time the erstwhile terrible lombards having been converted to the Catholic faith had lost much of their savagery their King desiderio even visited Monte Cassino to beg of the abbot opt atius who had succeeded Petrin acts a colony of monks for the monastery which he wished to found at Leino his plea was granted and the monks set out taking with them as a relic the arm of their holy founder end of chapter 9 recording by Edie Aragon | Priceless Audiobooks | UCly1zcKPGzGW9wZMCZodWOA | 2017-07-25 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 17,624 | 94,882 |

every morning I do a searing and blueberries movie but yeah definitely add these frozen fruits into your and of course Ali protein now I do want you to be careful when looking at some of these frozen through options let's take this acai for example when you look at it here it has 12 grams of sugar but the problem is the sugar comes from cane sugar so instead I would go with the zero sugar option so we have here some plant base meat options that I actually eat sometimes so this Karen I eat them have you known then I've tried the Alpha burger it's okay but I will let you know my favorite as soon as we get to that section almond milk I use in all my smoothies sometimes coconut milk sometimes hemp milk even flexible so here's a plant-based section now I want you to check this out because it's somewhat empty I mean they have cleared out the plant-based options but there's a couple brands I like you so this lightlife tempeh now I like this type of a there's some other products I don't think that I don't think are as tasty but I like this one let's see what I'll see okay so this ain't in here I do like this what I do though it's it's really salty so what I like to do is rinse off some of the sodium that's in the sauce but this is really good in seitan it's not gonna free though so if you are gluten intolerant and you're not gonna want this follow your heart cheese now as you can see there cleared up but the the kind of I like is follow your heart it's the regular American slices so just so you know that vegan cheese tastes unbelievable of course you need to pick up your greens you have to it's a must so we have some kale here I always add kale into my smoothies with alle protein we have some rainbow chard delicious we have some collard green as well all of these plant-based foods are great the medicinal benefits are incredible and every one of us needs as many greens and our diet as possible you can told that ever since you were a young child and guess what things haven't changed oranges make sure you are having your oranges vitamin C you know we're dealing with this crazy pandemic right now so as much vitamin C as possible so they talked about eating the rainbow and what that means is making sure that you get as many colorful fruits and vegetables in your diet as possible a lot of antioxidants in there so make sure you do that so people ask me what type of snacks do I have during the day right here we have almonds walnuts pecans nuts are incredible and definitely want to make sure that you traveled it the next so you can pack up look before you go off to a trip to the beach whatever you need but these are great snack options for you but here's a breakfast option for you this is what I do in the morning I'll have some steel-cut oats but there's also Rolo's you can have as well but I like to still cut holes and I have them with a scoop of a wheat protein I love them Awards well and then I go off to the park and work out so right here we have some Azuki bean if you've never heard of it in Azuki bean very high in protein so I definitely think we being a couple times a week along with lentils love the lentils black beans I will do quinoa navy beans are great as well this right here this is called chicken see that natural chicken that's not plant-based so therefore for June it's not on the menu alright so I want to show you pretty much my most favorite plant-based meat it's called beyond beef already like blondie one thing is the taste to the macronutrients has a good amount of protein I love the ingredients you know a lot of people say that these playing bass needs a processed well everything is processed but here's a decision situation the ingredients my absolutely good ingredients so you could go to the store take a look for yourself but beyond meat is awesome you have the beyond sausage there so I yam eat just about every day now there's some other plant-based options here for you as well I've tried them all and I have to tell you right now as it stands beyond beep to me is the best beyond meat the company is the best I'm sure some other companies will improve on the taste in their overall profile but I just got to tell you what I eat and it's all about beyond for me at this point and look look down here though this is where the beyond patties would be and they're gone so what that means is people are buying up all these plant-based options so just so you know this plant-based thing it's actually becoming a lifestyle for a lot of people all right so this is the meat section right now beef is not plant-based you already know chickens not plant-based fish is not plant-based no animal products for the month of June I have to make this statement because I am gonna get the questions is this plant-based so I want you to look because none of these items here and especially that right there that bacon not the plant base so just so you know because I'm gonna get the question still I know so

incredible energy boost but why not improve your health for the month of June so let me show you some additional vegan plant-based snacks and you can if you're confused about if a product is gluten-free or plant-based hopefully the store will indicate it for you [Music] there's some other plant-based chips now be careful because sometimes something says veggie or vegetarian but it's not 100% plant-based sometimes I'll add honey in there or they'll add some other plant actually not playing some other animal ingredient so just always look at the labels always check out the ingredients I do like simply mil though because they're crackers are made of almond flour so definitely a good choice now let me show you something you've probably seen these type of cookies these cookies are vegan but they're unhealthy and there's a lot of unhealthy vegan food for Jun this plant-based challenge is a healthy plant-based challenge so just know that so no these are not on the list so pasta now I'm not a huge pasta eater except if it's bonza pasta the reason why is because it's made of chickpeas delicious so I would recommend bonds of pasta if you're gonna eat pasta at all definitely the way to go alright so you know last time I did this video plant-based products for like all over the place I mean it was a plethora this shopping visit I mean there's a few products that just we're not

VOw3gt_ydJE | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOw3gt_ydJE | Understanding the Function and Effective Interventions for Cluster B Personality Disorder Symptoms | Hi everybody and welcome to today's presentation on strengths based biopsychosocial approach to recovery from personality disorders. Now a lot of times personality disorders kind of get a bad rap because they are perceived to be intractable or untreatable, and in this presentation I really want to look at some of the characteristics of personality disorders in ways they can be modified. Will people always have those behaviors available to them in the back of their head certainly but can we help them develop new healthier behaviors I do believe so so over the next 45 minutes or an hour we're going to review the characteristics of cluster B personality disorders and this is the cluster that's characterized with narcissistic antisocial borderline and histrionic Personality Disorder z' will explore the functions of the symptoms for people identify what may cause these symptoms to develop explore what's maintaining these symptoms that is what's the benefit because we know we don't do things unless there's the benefit and explore the effects of these symptoms on significant others finally we'll identify interventions to help the person more effectively manage emotions and relationships so your first step is really going to be to address the emotional and/or behavioral disk control if someone is infringing upon the rights of others hurting other people or hurting themselves they're not going to be able to engage in treatment right now we need to get that under control so the first thing we need to identify is what are some of the vulnerabilities when you feel more impulsive when you feel more emotional when you feel more scared what types of things are going on that kind of prompt you to feel that way sometimes it's not getting enough sleep sometimes too much stress at home maybe it is upcoming holidays everybody has different vulnerabilities but we need to know what's going to make you more likely to become emotional or act out then we'll identify what works to help the person self soothe when they have experienced these situations in the past what have they done that has worked to help them not hurt themselves or someone else then we'll identify some helpful distraction techniques things that they can do while they're trying to figure out what to do next we'll take all this and put it together in a written safety plan and I really want to emphasize written because if someone is in a very emotional or wound-up state and they're at risk of emotional or behavioral this control or acting out they're not thinking what was it that I talked about with my therapist last week they're just thinking they need the pain to stop so you want to write the safety plan down so they can refer to it hopefully we can help them develop enough self-awareness that they can stop pull out the safety plan and go okay what do I need to do the next step is that when we start identifying the salient symptoms their function and alternate ways to meet that need like I said these behaviors have a purpose they're serving a purpose for the person and we need to figure out what that is so we can help them either change the way they feel about the situation or change the situation in a healthier way we need to find out what it looks like for different people for example being dramatic being dramatic looks different for different people some people may get loud and aggressive some people may play the damsel in distress what does it look like for your particular client then look at how the behavior is being maintained when they do act out when they do engage in this behavior that's theoretically dysfunctional what are the rewards what do they get out of it because there's something and we can figure out different ways to meet that need or to quell that need in the treatment process so we're going to start out talking about generalities there are four core features of personality disorders rigid and extreme and distorted thinking patterns so in therapy when you are in counseling 101 you learned about cognitions and cognitive or shion's and all that kind of stuff well take that and intensify it times 10 problematic emotional response patterns when people start to have these distorted ways of thinking they get upset but since their thinking patterns are so distorted times 10 then the emotional response seems to mirror that and their emotional response seems to be excessive or times 10 when they're that upset when they're that emotional when they're that scared when they're that angry they need to make the pain stop which is where our impulses come in this impulse control problem the person needs to make it stop and they're going to start probably sort of flailing to try to figure out how to make that stop sometimes its self injurious sometimes it's entering others sometimes it is using addictions in order to numb the pain but this impulse control is generally or this impulsive behavior is generally used to quell the fear and the negative thoughts that are flooding this person's mind when you behave that way when everything is extreme when everything you think is times 10 when your reactions are times 10 it can make it more difficult for people to be in relationships with you when they see something happening and it's a 1 on their scale and you're acting like it's a 10 they can get very confused so we understand that all of these kind of inter relate and as a matter of figuring out where the person is motivated to start pulling the strings cluster B which is what we're going to talk about today is considered the dramatic emotional and erratic cluster people in this cluster tend to have a whole lot more difficulty managing their emotions managing their thought patterns and they act out in a way to try to make the behavior stop whether that's controlling you or controlling themselves so borderline we're going to go through each of these and kind of talk about them a little bit if somebody has borderline personality disorder traits and I emphasize traits because a lot of us you know just about every has some personality traits that may fit here now we've got to remember that when we're diagnosing a personality disorder this is a pervasive method of interacting with people that goes over time and in multiple situations and causes clinically significant distress or impairment in functioning okay so that being said even if your patient does not meet the criteria for a borderline diagnosis a lot of these traits we're going to talk about are common among people so if it's bothering them if it's causing them a problem let's like let's work on it instead of saying well it doesn't meet the criteria for a disorder so you know you'll be fine now let's help them work on it before it becomes a problem so borderline disparar is one of the acronyms that can be used to help remember some of the characteristics for borderline personality disorder one of the hallmark characteristics for not only borderline but this whole category is disturbance of identity people with borderline personality disorder don't have a sense of self at all they don't know who they are they exist exclusively based on what they are to other people so they are a spouse they are a daughter they are an employee they are something else so when that threatens to go away they don't have anything to replace it with they can't say well I'm a good person they're like well if I'm not a mother anymore what am i if my children move out and they don't need me anymore then my life is kind of over and we want to help them address those cognitive distortions so this disturbance of identity lack of not only a self-esteem but lack of self-concept they don't know who they are what does it look like a lot of times people with low self-concept or no self-concept will tend to define themselves based on their roles based on what they do for other people and based on what they think you want them to be they're chameleons a lot of times this develops because they grew up in households where it wasn't safe to have their own opinions it wasn't safe to develop a personal identity it was controlled by the addict the borderline the person with depression whatever was going on in that household the child was not able to develop a sense of self safely they had to be whatever they were expected to be by other people what's maintaining it now well if they haven't ever learned who they are or developed a sense of who they are then you know they've got to know that they're missing it before they can start to develop it remember that personality disorders are ego-syntonic that means the person doesn't realize it's not normal if you want to use that word to feel this way one of the things we can help people identify as they go through treatment is kind of what is underlying their emotional reactions disturbance of identity will come up a lot with your your cluster B characteristics emotionally all over the place people who are empty inside who don't know who they are it's scary it is terrifying to think that they may lose part of themself they are afraid of being abandoned they are afraid of basically disappearing because they are not somebody's something so whenever they perceive the slightest hint of disapproval criticism or rejection they respond with that times 10 and to use a clinical term they freak the freak out it is just not even fathomable to expect that they'll be able to exist if they get rejected so then they start frantically trying to hold on to somebody when this happens the relationship becomes very tenuous because the person with borderline personality traits may start to act out they start to get very angry to try to bully or control the other person because they're so afraid of being abandoned the person in the relationship with the client or the person with borderline traits doesn't understand what's going on it's like why are you getting all worked up over this it wasn't a big deal which creates a miscommunication the person in the relationship starts feeling like they have to walk on eggshells because they don't know what is going to set off their significant other and they know that if they set them off even with the slightest hint of anything that is not going to be an irritation or you know a momentary sadness or whatever it's going to be a complete episode of rage or terror or crying or pleading it's exhausting they also know that when a person with borderline characteristics they have no internal identity they fear being abandoned in order to keep you and this is one of our sort of trademarks of BPD as opposed to other personality disorders in this cluster when they're afraid of being abandoned a lot of times they will act out in self injurious ways in order to communicate partly to numb their own internal pain and distress and everything that's going on because they're focusing on managing the physical pain so they can't focus on the inter psychic pain but it also is a way of manipulating other people because it's either look what you made me do and if you would have just done what I asked you to do I wouldn't have had to hurt myself so this is your fault so I'm going to use that guilt and I'm going to work on it they can also use it in a way of saying I can't take care of myself I need you here to take care of me neither is really functional in an adult relationship paranoia or dissociation again in this situation these people tend to be very hyper vigilant they are aware of the slightest look that says I disapprove or the slightest or the slightest action which tends to make them you know we call it hyper vigilant sometimes it's called paranoia because everything is perceived through and abandonment lens so anytime you do anything it's going to be taken personally you can see some of these or hear some of these cognitive distortions coming out now personalization all-or-nothing thinking abandonment they are constantly waiting to be abandoned they don't feel worthy of love because they don't even know who they are they don't love themselves and they've never probably been loved for who they are so there's this fear of abandonment which again if my role goes away if I'm not your girlfriend anymore I'm not your wife anymore then part of me dies because I don't have a me I exist purely as a conglomeration of roles impulsive we talked about it earlier when the thoughts are so extreme and so fast and so negative and the emotions follow at a certain point a person has to make it stop it's just it's overwhelming and it's oppressive which often results in impulsive behaviors just finally make it stop I can't do it any more relationships are going to be unstable even if somebody understands what's going on it's very difficult to be in a relationship with somebody with borderline traits because they are so all over the place cognitively and emotionally and there's always this worry that they're going to hurt themselves you've got to keep your own guilt in check so there are a lot of boundary issues with a person with borderline personality disorder and a lot of guilt so people in relationships with people who have borderline personality tend to be the type that want to rescue if they stay in this relationship so then we need to look at some of those boundary issues and what need the borderlines behaviors are filling for the significant other feelings of emptiness well if you don't know who you are if you've never been loved for who you are only appreciated for what you do I can see where you might feel empty inside you might not have a feeling of satisfaction because you're always afraid you're not going to be good enough and you're always afraid that you're going to be abandoned which can lead to inappropriate rage remember I said times 10 when most of us face a threat to our self-esteem to our person to whatever the body sends out a fight-or-flight reaction and we either hit the fear which says you need to get out of there or the fight which says you need to conquer this you can do it it's not worry and irritation for the person with borderline it is always just overwhelming anxiety or rage again this is exhausting not only for the people that are in relationships the significant others of the person with borderline personality but for the person with borderline personality imagine being in your own head or there's this constant fear this constant battle that's constant not feeling good enough and frequent bouts of rage at others for potentially abandoning you because that's terrifying and it yourself for not being good enough if you can put yourself in their head you can kind of understand where these behaviors might come from now the key is figuring out what to do with them the first step and we're going to talk about this towards the end of the presentation is to help the person develop a stable sense of self who are they apart from their roles who are they distress tolerance and coping skills and develop a support system that understands how they react and can help them navigate through the initial phase of distress people with histrionic Personality Disorder HPD the the mnemonic that you can use to remember this is praise provocative or seductive behavior instead of the self injurious acting out behavior that you see in borderline personality in histrionic personality you see someone who is going to be overly sexual overtly sexual one example you might think of is Jessica Rabbit from who framed Robert Roger Rabbit she was overly sexual and she controlled people using her sexuality relationships with the person with histrionic Personality are considered more intimate than they actually are this person will meet you and within 30 minutes be telling you their deepest darkest secrets and you're going to be best as best as friends forever and ever normal relationships don't develop that quickly if you meet somebody who has this complete absence of boundaries and just automatically clings on to you it's a pretty good guess that there are some histrionic traits there the person with histrionic Personality Disorder also doesn't have a good sense of self they have been approved of or learned to manipulate people or whatever you want to say through sexual and seductive behavior they don't know who they are so they look to others for external reinforcement to tell them that they're okay they want to be your best friend they need to be your best friend because they need to be validated which leads to the attention-seeking they need to be constantly reminded or reinforced that they are your best friend your bestest friend and you're not going anywhere they need to be the center of attention and this can be very dramatic this can be very kind of over-the-top sometimes because they need to be the center of attention it can be negative or positive they can start a shouting match in the middle of the mall or they can be being extremely seductive at a party whatever is going to get them the most attention at the time they're influenced easily by others or circumstances just like the BPD and others in this cluster the person with HPD needs to be validated externally because they don't know who they are they don't know what they're good at they don't know what you know they don't have a good sense of self and they don't have a good self-esteem so they are going to jump on the popularity bandwagon whatever happens to be the most popular they're going to do which means other people may have difficulty trusting them if circumstances change this person's whims may change with the circumstances you never know what this person is going to do from moment to moment it's always very dramatic and it's always very grandiose they use a speech style to impress that lacks detail and one of the best examples I can give of this is if you've ever listened to a politician on the campaign trail they will make these just glorious grandiose campaign promises but they never tell you how they're going to do it I'm going to reduce taxes well score that's what we want how are you going to do it Oh we'll get to that later person people with histrionic Personality Disorder do the same thing they will tell you that they are going to start a company that they are going to do something huge and impressive but they won't have all the details worked out again you have some emotional lability shallowness their emotions switch depending on what is going to give them the most attention they can be sad they can be angry they can be fearful their emotions are general generally not genuine they are a production they are a facade that this person is putting on not because they are intentionally trying to they're going oh what's going to get me the most attention but because this has been reinforced in their life they have learned to use emotional displays and dramatic displays in order to divert attention from something that's bad or to get attention and be reinforced be taken care of be called by the people that they care about now we're going to switch gears a little bit because antisocial and narcissistic are different in many many ways than borderline and histrionic borderline and histrionic have no stable sense of self and they're desperate for external validation antisocial and narcissistic don't have exactly those same traits people with antisocial personality disorder have difficulty conforming to the law they have difficulty respecting others needs wants you know preferences they will steal from you just as soon as they will look at you they are determined to satisfy their own needs because they want to complete lack of empathy obligations are often ignored unless it suits them there's a reckless disregard for the safety of themselves or others again they're going to do what they want to do because it suits them at the time and they don't think about how it may impact other people they only think about satisfying their own wants needs and desires immediately they have an inability to feel remorse or empathy for other people they don't feel bad about what they do if they get caught and they seem to feel bad it's probably that they feel bad that they got caught not because they hurt somebody else they tend to be deceitful lying and manipulative because that's what how they get what they want from other people they don't plan with sufficient time they don't say okay I want to buy a car so I'm going to need to save up money so let me develop a plan they say I want a car I'm going to go steal one or I want a car you will let me borrow yours if not I will just take it from you their temper tends to be irritable and aggressive this is a person who has no regard for your feelings the only thing that keeps them in check is getting their own wants needs and desires met immediately and if that doesn't happen they throw a temper tantrum very similar if you will to a three or four year old in the middle of the cereal aisle wanting some super sugary cereal and not getting their own way now I don't expect a three or four year old to plan and to conform to social norms and yada yada this is something they have to learn a 34 year old on the other hand should know better what are the benefits to this I think I've said them repeatedly this person gets their needs met all the time and they don't care whether other people like them or not which is another key difference between histrionic borderline and antisocial they are all about being their own best friend and making themselves happy now a lot of times they also have an unstable self-concept which is why they've put up these walls and said I don't need anybody I can make my own self happy thank you very much everybody I've ever trusted has let me down everybody I've ever cared about has betrayed me so you know screw y'all I'm going to do what I'm going to do for me because everybody else has always done that to me at all or nothing thinking again and finally people with narcissistic personality disorder think that they're special and the mnemonic special represents the characteristics of NPD they believe that they are unique and this research has shown lately is not a way of covering up a lack of self-esteem they truly believe that they are all that a bag of chips and a soda to boot they're preoccupied with and they use the term fantasies a lot in a literature in this person's mind is not a fantasy they're preoccupied with delusions if you will of unlimited success power brilliance beauty or ideal they think they're all that put yourself in the mind of somebody who is just the best thing since sliced bread they feel entitled they feel entitled for you to worship them they do need approval all the time similar to people with for example histrionic personality who need to be the center of attention all the time the person with narcissism needs to be revered all the time so they will seek positions they will seek situations where people have to admire them they are not above interpersonal exploitation if it gets them power if it gets them on top if it gets them to be revered they'll exploit anybody they will walk all over them they tend to be arrogant and very self-important if you've had someone with narcissism as a friend or as a client you'll recognize some of these because a lot of times you leave an interaction with them feeling bad about yourself or wondering why you aren't as successful the person with narcissism really carries a cloud with them that they are the preeminent being and they lack empathy they don't really care how it makes you feel what's most important is how you make them feel and how you make them look a lot of people with narcissistic personality disorder grew up in a family that communicated these messages as a child they got the message it's not about how you feel it's how you make us as the parents look so you will suck it up and you will do what I tell you to and you will be the best at it or you will not be loved there are some varying theories about how narcissistic personality disorder develops and there's a really good book called disarming the narcissist new Harbinger publications that goes into great detail and it's really well well written if you want to take a look at that suffice it to say the person with narcissism is not going to come into therapy and say you know I'm having a real hard time getting along with other people and I want to address some of my character defects they don't think they have any so this is a particularly challenging client to work with most of the time the person with our sophistic traits or narcissistic personality disorder only comes to counseling only comes to therapy because somebody has made them they have given them an ultimatum you will go to counseling or I am going to divorce you and take the kids or you will go to counseling or I'm going to fire you so the person comes to counseling under duress and they will present in the office like they are there's nothing wrong with them they are perfect and any hint of criticism or questioning that the therapist does will be met with anger and condescension just be prepared for it because that's how they protect themselves because remember if they are not revered then they are nothing and it's very confusing to them if you don't jump into their delusion so what do we do about it well let's start with the rigid extreme and distorted thinking patterns whether it's all-or-nothing thinking thinking that they have to be the best at everything all the time or that you have to love them all the time or if you go away I'm going to die these these extreme thought patterns tend to create a lot of emotional turmoil so we need to start addressing those cognitive processing therapy the challenging questions worksheet I love because it gives the person multiple different avenues to challenge some of these beliefs that are keeping them upset examine common cognitive distortions with them all or nothing thinking if they start talking about something that made them mad made them scared or you just wouldn't believe what happened keep an eye out for all-or-nothing thinking because generally it's extreme everybody always leaves nobody can be trusted in this case you know counsel 1:01 we're going to start looking for exceptions the mental filter is viewing the world through sort of colored glasses and it's not usually not rose-colored that we're worried about if they perceive the world to be a scary place then everything they see is going to reinforce that think about one time when you got up and you're getting ready for work and you were just in a bad mood as you're driving to work are you noticing the bunny that hops across the road and the fact that it was a beautiful sunrise or are you noticing the fact that you had to slam on brakes for that stupid rabbit and the Suns in your eyes mental filters overgeneralization partly all-or-none thinking but taking one instance maybe a bad relationship and saying all men are untrustworthy or all women are untrustworthy or this will always happen discounting the positive forgetting to focus on the things about themselves and others that are good if my clients start talking about somebody and something that was really really negative I say okay you know and we talk about it and I hear their point of view but then I also ask them to find a couple of positive things to say about it when I go home and the house is looks like a tornado hit it it's frustrating to me however the positive that means that my kids were having a good time and that also means that my kids are there and having a good time and I love my children you know immensely so yeah is it irritating to go home and find the house looking like a tornado hit it mm-hmm but there are positive things that I can focus on - so it's choosing which you focus on jumping to conclusions assuming that just because somebody didn't call you when they were supposed to but they're they're leaving they hate you know it could be that they were stuck in traffic or their phone died or their abilities iliyan different explanations for the when I hear this type of cognitive distortion I will stop my client and I will say okay that's definitely possible give me the facts to support it and then I want you to tell me two other possible reasons this may have happened or this person may have acted this way let's see if we can look at some different perspectives once you bring in that idea of reasonable doubt it starts to make the person think a little bit more and helps them de-escalate some because it's not of course this must be the answer it's like okay what are some possible reasons this might have happened now true they may come back to the the worst possible answer but at least they're thinking about other options and eventually hopefully you can encourage them to start thinking for their own sanity and their own health and wellness what is the least offensive explanation for this well being careful obviously we don't want them to be taken advantage of and then emotional reasoning if I'm afraid of something then it must be dangerous I'm terrified of bridges I hate driving over bridges and there's absolutely no logic to that at all and I realize this so if I thought because I'm afraid to drive over bridges it must be dangerous to drive over bridges that's emotional Reid's reasoning and I can counter that by looking at facts and statistics and saying you know it's really not dangerous am i afraid yes so let's look at the reasons why and you know there are reasons why I was but bringing that to the forefront of somebody's mind to help them identify irrational conclusions then we want to help them examine prior experiences which may be influencing perceptions of current events so we can help clients challenge their schemas that's a really long way of saying if something happened 10 years ago with some other person and they're expecting every other person today to behave that way is that realistic if something happened when they were a child that made them feel helpless and unloved that sucks yeah but we got to deal with that no doubt but when that same thing happens today what does that mean to them as an adult as a person who's able to rationalize things and provide self-soothing is that the best way to react is that the best schema to have and yet some people from your childhood are equally as dangerous in adulthood but sometimes like being a bully or being bullied on the playground at school may not be as salient today because you are an adult and likely that same kind of bullying does not happen but if you expect it to happen then you're going to look for it and you're going to look for signs and be hyper vigilant so we want to examine prior experiences that provide negative interpretations of today's events rigid extreme and distorted thinking patterns can also keep creeping back in we need to help people address faulty cognitions that enable them to evaluate and act based on facts not feelings I talked about that in a little a little while ago problematic emotional responses now we're down to feelings we talked about the thoughts let's talk about the feelings mindfulness to prevent vulnerabilities and become aware of distress sooner if clients are mindful on a day-to-day basis they will realize that there are certain things like not getting enough sleep or staying up too late the night before or having to drive through really really heavy traffic there are things that will put them on edge and make them more likely to overreact or to act out or to engage in some of these dysfunctional behaviors we also want them to become aware of distress sooner so when they feel themselves starting to become excessively upset they can stop it instead of letting it go all the way to a thousand they can stop it maybe it you know seven fifty and then five hundred we want people to be aware of themselves what are their physical symptoms that they're starting to get stressed what's going on in their mind when they're starting to get stressed and then how do they deal with that distress which brings us to distress tolerance skills we can't keep people from getting distressed it happens so my question is when you get distressed how can you ride through it so you're not making decisions just based on wanting to make the distress go away you're making rational decisions that get you closer to where you want to be for most people anywhere from a minute and a half to ten minutes is the time it takes for them to kind of de-escalate enough or the Adrenaline's not just pumping all the way through and they can start to cognitively evaluate what's going on depending on your client some clients may want to start working on dealing with their emotional responses because they feel like they're always angry or they're always upset some clients may want to start dealing with their cognitions first that is up to your client but you know what if they're able to calm down their emotions if they're able to get control of their feelings then they're going to be better able to address the cognitive distortions if they address the cognitive distortions first then they're probably not going to get so worked up so it doesn't matter where you start start where the client is willing to start impulse control problems if they're not in distress they're much less likely to be impulsive so we want to identify and address triggers that may contribute to someone being impulsive having access to whatever it is and this is true with substances or addictive behaviors but what triggers your impulsive behavior having them define what their impulsive behaviors are it can be screaming it can be throwing things be substances of abuse it can be going out on a run it can be just getting in the car and driving what are your impulsive behaviors and how can you address them let's look at what they mean like I said most of the time impulsive behaviors come from a need to just make that distress stop so what distress tolerance skills do you have what can you do instead that is less harmful or less counterproductive how can you distract yourself sitting there and waiting for this flood of anger to go away can feel like an eternity and trying to control it and wait for it to go away can make it worse so how can you distract yourself what can you do for that first minute and a half to 10 minutes until you can you know think with a clear head and then what are your coping strategies coping strategies are really either changing the situation because something's amiss and it needs to be changed or addressed or changing your reaction to it there are some things that cannot be changed other people cannot be changed so you can either choose to not engage with them which is changing the situation or you can choose how you react to the situation maybe you have somebody who is always going to find fault with something that you do family member maybe it's a family member that you have to see at every holiday so knowing that that holiday is coming up is a vulnerability because the person is probably going to start getting all fired up stressed out wondering what is going to be criticized this time so you've got two options one not go to the family function for the holiday which is often not an option or to figure out how to deal with that for example just accepting that for whatever reason this person has to find fault they're going to find fault so just expect it and let it roll off your back take what you need and leave the rest if they find fault with something that can be addressed that you think yeah you're right you know I could work on that great if they find fault with something that you really don't have any issue with then let it go that's their issue that's on them not on you and then significant interpersonal problems another behavioral issue if you're impulsive if you are constantly looking for the negative if you have all of these cognitive distortions that continue to get you upset all of the time it's going to be really difficult to stay in a relationship with you so regardless of what the specific diagnosis or criteria are helping people develop mindfulness and empathy to increase the awareness of themself and others so they can become aware of when they are being emotional when they are being sensitive when they are being hyper-vigilant but they can also increase their awareness of how they impact others when they behave that way develop a stable positive internal sense of self to reduce the need for external validation if you can be okay for who you are then if somebody decides to leave you don't need to be on on guard all the time you don't need to be hyper vigilant you don't need to be proving something you don't need to be the center of attention you're comfortable in your own skin and that's all you need for a lot of clients when I say that they look at me like I've got three heads because that's just not something that they can even conceptualize at the beginning and that's okay you know I want to know three months from now what are you hoping is going to be different along with addressing these interpersonal issues and helping people develop mindfulness we want to help them develop interpersonal skills we know that personality disorders develop really early in life and they're not diagnosed until someone reaches adulthood but since they develop early that means they probably were not able to develop healthy communication skill and healthy boundaries they weren't able to develop the ability to see another person's reaction and look for possibilities they weren't able to develop the ability to not see everything as their fault they didn't develop the ability to say I am sorry you're upset but that's not my fault you know I'll be here to support you but I am NOT going to feel bad because you're upset so developing those emotional boundaries and allowing others to have feelings that are divergent from yours are going to be key features in helping people develop a healthier way of interacting so general tips personality disordered behaviors are ego-syntonic I said that before I'll say it again most of the time people were present in treatment for something that is not a personality disorder it's the result of these behaviors they lost a relationship they lost their job they lost their house they whatever the case may be I have never had somebody come into my office and go I'm borderline help me figure that out I have had people significant others bring them in and say she's borderline fixer and my response is usually you can't do that she can fix herself but first we need to figure out what's going on before we even start putting labels on it and then it's going to be up to her to be able to figure out how to meet her needs as therapists we can help people work backwards and identify what caused whatever the presenting issue is so if the person comes because they just and ended a long term relationship and they are clinically depressed what happened that made the relationship end have you experienced this before have you had other relationships end for similar reasons let's look at some of these common themes about why these relationships end a lot of times you will hear from the towards some of these personality disordered behaviors and you can start identifying them I am NOT going to tell somebody well sounds like you've overreact all the time we're going to look at what happened and I'm going to let the client draw their own conclusion about what's going on with them for themselves because they're in their own head they know what's an appropriate reaction and what's an overreaction we'll do some cognitive distortion and cognitive disputing to help them figure out if they are using some of those cognitive errors in order to help them live a happier life so if we can figure out some common themes that generally present in every relationship that's what we can focus on in treatment how can we make your relationships less conflictual well let's look at what causes the conflicts okay now how can we deal with that a person with personality disorder traits will likely demonstrate these same traits and behaviors in session so we need as therapists to compassionately identify and address these relationships if you notice someone is trying to take over a session and every time you say something they counter it you may ask you know if this is because they feel the need to know everything that's going on you may ask what the benefit is or what they're needing from you at this point in time it's going to depend on your client exactly how you address it but not addressing it just reinforces it so it's important to know how to deal with your particular clients in a manner that is compassionate but firmly setting boundaries cluster B disorders are characterized by a lack of a sense of self difficulty forming authentic relationships and high levels of anxiety and emotionality mainly because of a lack of sense of self and difficulty forming relationships so they don't have social support they don't feel good about themselves they don't even know who they are so they're constantly worried about basically disappearing one of the first goals of treatment is to identify what the behaviors are that are causing their distress identify that function and help them start figuring out ways to deal with it most personality disordered behaviors ego-syntonic help the patient identify the behaviors they exhibit which may be problematic so you know if they start acting in a way that you can see may cause conflict in relationships outside of the therapy session you may want to point those out and say I'm wondering how other people perceive it when you do this discuss in session what triggers those behaviors what function the behavior served in the past you know obviously you develop this for a reason everything we do is basically to help us survive and exist and because it's reinforced so where did this come from what function it did it serve and then let's figure out a different way to meet that same need I'm not going to tell them that they're pathological because I don't believe they're pathological I believe that what they did was the best thing that they could do given the tools that they had at that point in time and I still believe that today it's just they don't have any new tools so therapy and self-help books are the way for them to start getting those tools so they can respond differently while it's true the behaviors characteristic of personality disorders cannot be completely erased you learn them you can't just completely unlearn them they can be sort of boxed up and stored in the mental archives they need to have alternate behaviors to replace those if you're not going to do something you need to replace it with something else you can't just not do something the key here is the fact that personality disorders oppositional defiant disorder any variety of issues and problems can be treated but you can relapse or they can those behaviors can emerge again if the current behaviors and current tools are not meeting the person's need in the same way you | Doc Snipes | UCAE3JJi8tX7gfhZEXCUGd_A | 2016-07-13 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 7,733 | 43,263 |

once again to come before your presence to hear your word your wisdom your knowledge your understanding thanking you Father for leading and guiding me teaching me blessing me protecting me from all her harm in danger through your love now that the words of my mouth meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight my Lord my strength my Redeemer the Lord is in his holy temple then all the earth keeps silent before him and now to him who is able to present you faultless and keep you from falling the power mercy and Dominion and sport the favor and all the children of Israel said amen in amen now as we continue our journey of learning who we are where we are and who we belong to there's been a number of situations that have been going on these last few months the pandemic how it has affected our people in a great great way compared to other nations how thee what do you want to call it racism has arisen his head again and again and again and yet again and they believe they're doing a good thing by killing us continually constantly we know of the one that just recently happened here on last it's almost two weeks ago Monday with the officer putting his knee on the neck of the what do you want call the african-american Hebrew Israelite but eight minutes as if he had nothing to do had his hands in his pocket as foot his knee on his neck hearing the guys say he can't breathe didn't Maddie didn't care no compassion no sympathy at all no mercy because he died no mercy he didn't care he had an animal he didn't have a human that's the way he treated him and it's not something unusual it's not something diff it's normal for them to do us like that it's what they expect to do thinking they're doing work a guy by killing us imagine that but little do they know the more they killed us the closer we get to the end because when you kill us all why should the father not come and destroy this planet as he said he would so we're gonna look at racism that is our topic for this morning and of course as I always do I'll be coming from the Bible a narrative speaking racism and the judgments of God it was as we went before God cry out to him for the souls of our cities that the Lord began to reveal to us the consequences of racism he said that it was not just a regional principality its influence was global as it is it is a world ruler racism releases the curse of death indiscriminately from one race upon another the Lord said that it is the spirit of death which is destroying our cities and it is and it has for this entry point the stronghold of racism and cultural content in the people as we sought the Lord he brought us to the civil rights movement there were two things that emerged from the campaign first it broke the legal impasse in America as Adele a powerful blow against a stronghold of prejudice in our land the Lord used this movement indeed I would remind the readers it was largely the black church that spearheaded this assault against racism in spite of the oppression set against it the black Christians had grown sizable and strong like all believers they were imperfect yet Jesus himself was their captain since then the black race has won Limited victories in nearly every form from sports and entertainment to housing education employment as a result a number of better educated blacks began to move upstream towards greater opportunities but another change occurred among young black males and this was not good this change was the results of the nearly 300 years of racist oppression and pent-up anger which had been Latin to the heart of the black man surfaced in the form of violence we know about that consequently these past 30 years we have seen a tremendous increase in lawlessness and suffering in our cities there are other sources of this breakdown in our cities however a significant part of the social collapse today is directly related to racism although we point to drug abuse and gang violence as some of the strongholds in our society in most cases these were but symptoms of the greater problem of racism in the genealogy of our city's violent culture pride and envy begat racism racism begat oppression oppression begat fear volatility and hatred these have produced the current chaos in our cities the fact is our cities are under the judgment of God the Lord set a standard and put it in the spirit of America our founding fathers believed they were willing to die for the truth that all men are created equal they understood that every individual was empowered by their creator with certain unalienable rights to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness God had taken our own words and is using them to judge us for we fought a war to secure freedom and then denied it to the black man we should also understand that God's judgment is not always in the form of health thorns and earthquakes often he simply allows us to experience the consequences of the sins we have demanded Arthur CS Lewis has there that in the end there are only two types of people those who say to God thy will be done and who enters into heaven and those to whom God say thy will be done and they retail what we are experiencing in our cities is our will be done and we are reaping hell yet there is still time if we choose to step away from racist attitudes and working first in the church bring healing we can ultimately see heaven prevail in our cities if we fail to obey God our cities will continue to bear and increasing lighten likeliness to hell so we have to understand god's word is our foundation his commandments his principles his precepts his decrees statutes his judgments his testimonies is our foundation to want eliminating racism and to live a perfect life in his will be done all that we've done all that we've talked about everything that I told you they always have established it in the commandments of God because that is what he told us we must do so when we decide not to we reap the benefits of racism it's there it's prevalent look around how many people how many nations can't say that they experienced the type of racism that we experienced you know we can go back 2,000 years to the first murder that was a holy one Rome murdered trunks put thorns on his head [Music] him up on the cross pierced his side they killed him because of what he proclaimed not a million you can fast forward it to two thousand years to today and see the same police brutality in every state in this America not one state can say they have not killed an unarmed black man and that's bad we are a know of the slavery and the lynching and the way they treated us dragging us down the street behind a truck on a chain yeah it happened in Texas so we got we got proof we are God's chosen we don't know what they do they think they're doing God's will by killing us on a daily just because you turn your back on me and shoot you yeah I had a tow to me at age 14 by Pomona police cop told me to freeze off I would love to shoot a that's what he told me at 14 years old so yeah it's experience we experience it on the norm constantly but what do we do how do we fight this how do we change this attitude by the Word of God we got to get back into his will that it may be done that we can stop seeing Hale on earth instead a glass of heaven when we all say we want to go where we all say we are part of we believe in Jesus Christ but we don't show it to our fellow man because I bet you don't policeman they have killed every one of us will proclaim to be a child of God because if you don't get he is doing the work of Satan which is his father which is no problem we already know his destiny but the thing is where we who we are on what we're currently doing cannot continue in the same path thinking there's gonna be a different result we got to get into his were teach your child raise your child in the Word of God is never too late he said plant a seed because someone else become in water but that seed got to be planning that's why I prayed this what I'm doing here can go out and reach everybody not to change anyone but just to give you an insight of understanding of the Father God of Israel his role what we at what we do Abraham established it Isaac groaning Jacob produced it everything that God told to Abraham is here there are more of us than the grain of sand unknowable can't be counted we're scattered from one end of this earth to the other yes and we all still get treated the same way by the different nations you heard when a pandemic hit with China started to do to the blacks dad was there Africans one race against another and for what cause but what cause they think they're doing God's will by killing us we're gonna talk more on this we need to get this word out particularly this racism that flourishes in America ain't never went away the father was done with me let me show you what he's taught me - next we meet on a Sabbath may the father watch over you and yours as he do me and mines | Rodney Rusk | UCs-q8KY_eO0nRJzQFT21UtQ | 2020-05-30 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 1,781 | 9,274 |

TFrsLuruDvU | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFrsLuruDvU | Sarah Morales Part 1 | I'd like to also thank Renee for your kind introduction and thank Warriors Rights Watch and the International and Kira Public Library and the whole community group for inviting me to me of a part of this series I'm arrogant I'm humbled and honored to be part of this event that's been going on for the past few months as Renee says I'm Co Salish and a member of couchant rise and my traditional name is mafia and part of the things part of the lessons that I've learned for my elders while I was conducting this work or learning about Co sailor's traditions legal tradition but it's always important to share with your with my audience my traditional name because it anchors me within the work that I do or tells people in the room where I come from and what my family history is so as part of our laws it's important to start with that introduction so my talk tonight is failed cooperation or contact conquest but really it's about post David Lynch legal tradition and how you can work to have some form of recognition nutrition within the Canadian estate so Aboriginal peoples are the earliest practitioners of law in Canada living in communities and nations across the land they developed norms and practices to govern their social interaction regulate trade resolve disputes and govern the relationships between different nations diverse tradition traditions of Aboriginal peoples developed into highly developed systems of law the guided Aboriginal societies for centuries and the governance of community the environment and relationships between people passed down through generations and stories songs ceremonies and practices these legal traditions reflect unique experiences of different Aboriginal peoples and communities embodying their values and beliefs and resonating within their cultures the first Europeans to arrive in North America recognized indigenous legal traditions and often respected and followed indigenous laws Aboriginal laws protocols and procedures providing the framework for the first treaties between Aboriginal peoples and the Dutch French and British crowns most often commercial transactions were conducted in accordance with indigenous traditions with the giving of gifts and the centers of trade often based on indigenous legal concepts in the personal realm many early marriages between the indigenous women and European men were solemnized according to however the influence of aboriginal was waned in the face of increased in European settlement early cooperation was replaced by policies of assimilation and by the 1800 indigenous legal traditions often were ignored and many customary practices and ceremonies were banned Aboriginal children were removed from their homes and forced to attend residential schools were these of their indigenous languages were prohibited the impact on an average two laws cultures and communities has been devastating in the police of laws and dispute resolution resolution mechanisms that developed in particular cultural context and resonated with the values and beliefs of the people governed by them a legal system reflecting the values and culture of the European settlers was imposed on Aboriginal people many Aboriginal communities today struggle with extreme poverty their culture identity and their community's fractured as a result of decades of assimilationist policies however indigenous legal traditions have not disappeared many Aboriginal communities have and develop their laws and continue to be guided by that in governance and dispute resolution other communities have begun the difficult task of reclaiming and revitalizing their traditions and the values upon which they are based events like tonight demonstrate that there is a growing recognition of the importance of indigenous laws and the leadership traditions to the culture economic and social health of Aboriginal peoples both within Aboriginal communities and non Aboriginal communities many identify the integration of indigenous legal traditions as vital to the autonomy of Aboriginal peoples but while Canada is a legally pluralistic state in which the common law and civil law are recognized and operate alongside each other indigenous laws are not always valued or given room to operate develop and flourish ensuring that Aboriginal peoples have the political space and resources to cultivate and refine indigenous laws in accordance with their traditions who contribute not only to the health of aboriginal communities but also to the reconciliation between the Canadian state and Aboriginal peoples the overarching purpose of this research is to bring about a greater recognition and reconciliation of Crusaders legal traditions with the Western legal system as an indigenous scholar of coast English descent residing in Canada the question of what is law is not something that I answer simply by visiting a law school library neither is it something that I can answer simply by versity myself in our culture traditions and customs and practices as I as I have dismembered thought is not only a matter of ideas but rather a process or an activity but how does one describe this process how does one reconcile the differences that may exist between the laws found in the law school library and the laws practiced in the traditional longhouse about my people will offer veils when a provincial statute allows for the desecration of an ancient communal burial ground and helped me in law of non avoidance prohibited the first part of my presentation will intervene our understanding by examining the inherent legal principle of the Coast Salish legal tradition or samaya I hope to reinforce the nation the notion that Canadian society is not merely a conglomerate of individuals who fall under the same laws in this sense I need to educate both indigenous and non-indigenous societies about the pluralistic nature of law the second part of this presentation relates to developing the process by which to reconcile these different and sometimes competing legal traditions this process of reconciliation is not simply a struggle of indigenous peoples to be free from the influence of the Western people system but rather a process of assuming the power we possess as communities and individuals to make legal decisions that affect our lives as political theorists James Thomas additionally those resist polymerization in two ways first they struggle against the structure of domination as a whole and for the sake of their freedom as people second they struggle within the structure of domination these are the techniques of government by exercising their freedom of thought and action would be aim of modifying the system in the short term and transforming it from within the long term accordingly a discussion on recommend mission of indigenous legal traditions cannot be characterized by the boundaries of the Canadian furless political system Kevin Brunel describes the supplementary strategy as a third state the third basis of sovereignty and states the indigenous political effort to construct and maintain the coherence of community its premise on straddling and the screaming remarking the boundaries that purport to secure the coherence of American community this doesn't mean that indigenous political actors can deny the real power and equity between their communities and the American nation rather the lesson here is that in generating political claims indigenous peoples do not simply adhere to options set out by the American political framework by refusing the imperial binary through politics on the boundaries indigenous peoples give their political identity agency and autonomy fuller expression one that is less constrained by Chloe all good positions for the purposes of my work I tend to understand this space by which indigenous groups can operate both within and outside the Canadian legal system at the same time as a space of shared sovereignty so what is law as an indigenous scholar of Kosovo's descent the question of what is law is a question I grabbed both ways for many years through my research I've come to see that law is not only a matter of ideas but as I said it's also a practice or an activity while law certainly draws from and mingles with ideas both local and low at the end of the day them must be applied in a particular context law comes to life in people's lives not just their minds as such to be persuasive law cannot be separated from the societies from which it arises it must make sense in it in its place and it cannot be separated from its surrounding culture in thinking about this grounded nature of law I've gained through their insight about lost character from discussions with professor John burrows in his book Canada's indigenous Constitution professor burrows suggests that law cannot be understood apart from culture he writes law is a culture of argument that provides a place and a set of institutions and methods where this conversation process can go on as well as a second conversation I wish the first is criticized and judged hennas other legal tradition are also embedded in the culture of argument each contains a degree of ambiguity that requires judgment or on its initial formulation this is why every legal system employs different methods of interpretation to help bridge ambiguities booty fest out professor burrows book is that indigenous law can be explained by reference to the cultures in which indigenous peoples live since in the contemporary context indigenous peoples live and across the cultural context the laws that guide their lives must be drawn from the cultures that surround them I have been shaped by at least two legal cultures growing up in my traditional territory the common law and Coast Salish law since I lived in this badger enclosed space I have not only obligations to follow the laws of Canada but also to my people and my ancestors to follow our saliva snow AIA is a hulking word that my others have described to me as meaning our way of life our way of being on mother earth it is our language our governance our culture and tradition our secret bathing hole it is spirituality and all the teachings are sand Wyeth helps regulate our relationships and resolve our disputes it contains Anders and practices for judgment and decision-making it is intimately connected to our culture in fact I would go so far as to argue that it encompasses the basic normative principles upon which our culture is based all of our practices and institutions stem from the guiding principles of our society since our culture is still alive as trade on by our elders and others are still life did not disappear when the first settlers arrived in our traditional territories rather these teachings and traditions have carried on to the present day through stories practices and customs however I recognize that some not familiar with or subject to this system may not regard our swine as law however I would argue that it is possible to discern legal principles within such teachings and that these teachings do more than merely reinforce the societal norms these general descriptions us and Wyatts support the hypothesis of John burrows that law cannot be separated from culture as my love elders have expressed me so why it is a way of life not merely of accepted practices and sanctions attentions on all aspects of life and cannot be separated from our relations to each other to the natural world or to the spiritual world however recognizing the intricacies and complexities of this legal tradition how can it be applied in today's modern context there are seven key principles that have been identified to me as forming part of our saliva these concepts are tisha respect trust sharing love forgiveness and responsibility these are key Hulkamania caught to evoke concepts which are applied as guiding norms and values with deep roots in welcome you know custom and tradition in virtually every important area of life in the community as such I understand them to be inherent legal principles although these principles are certainly drawn upon in the practice of post English law and traditions action does not necessitate their existence nor their recognition within the legal tradition in essence these seven key legal concepts represent a set of legal principles that seek to foster harmony peaceful national solidarity and kinship between all living beings and nature in the world however these have these keys seven concepts or doctrines are not basically in the sense that they can be applied directly to a legal question rather when you speak about these seven key concepts in a legal context they describe conditions generated is your law as such there are somewhat similar to the Western concept of natural law they describe an objective moral reality constructed from a set of Authority those legal principles in a sense snow AIA is a state or condition and the whole communally tradition encompassing all the animating norms customs and traditions those are the things that produce our maintain that state as a result pole communal law functions as the device were tool that produces or maintains the state of values articulated to me by my others provides the whole community ball with a framework of thinking planning choices lead to living a good life this notion of a legal tradition built-in in judicial decision-making in describing the nature of law in particular constitutional law Frank R Scott stated every legal change involves a choice of values a selection of objectives changing a constitution confronts a society with the most important choices for in the Constitution what we found that philosophical principles and rules which largely the term determine the relation of individual and of the cultural groups to one another and to the state perhaps the major difference between Western and indigenous legal traditions is that indigenous people embrace the fluidity of their legal traditions because smile applies to all aspects of Hulka mean of culture these concepts are capable of describing other conditions when spoken of in different contexts they are integral to the whole communal creation story there are also integral to Hull communal spiritual life in summary they underlie along with corresponding virtues all of the whole communal culture including customs traditions philosophy language spirituality sense of place and identity so let's consider the application of these inherit legal principles to an environmental law situation in 2004 Piniella kicked others installed spring island residents asked the environment to appeal board to issue an order to stop development at Walker Hook on salt spring island see both finish with patches limited wanted to use the area for affluent from its black cod fish hatchery on salt spring island after Thurmond after the minister of water land and air protection issued a permit sailfin agreed to do so to do some digging to determine if there were any ancestral remains or artifacts on walker's hook 13 bodies were found however from their exploration revealed that there were there were that there were the remains of it seven hundred possibly as many as fifteen hundred ancestors of the Piniella Kate couch n she made us hello and Lee accent First Nations on this site the desecration at walkers hooked was brought to fire before the environmental appeal Board of British Columbia by a group of Pinal ket First Nations others Myra streams on behalf of the Penelope and others applied for a stay avoids management act approval pursuant to section 11 subsection one which provides that a manager may approve the introduction of waste into the environment for a period of up to fifteen months without issuing a permit so the approval of people Fed to discharge the fluid from its fish hatchery into the injection wells located on Walker's hook for a 15 month period in the appeal the Potala cute elders argued that the discharge of affluent permitted under the approval would permanently destroyed the historic aesthetic and spiritual qualities of walkers hope and would prevent hawking of pupil from using the site for spiritual practices thereby depriving them of their aboriginal rights they argued that the discharge of affluent which contained dissolved nutrients and other substances to sacred site such as walker hook was an affront to their culture and history and that there was no way to clean the fluid from the grave sites and restore the spiritual sacredness of the site once a once it had been desecrated as stated by august sylvester the use of the ancestral burial ground as the sewage treatment site is very hurtful to our people it is counter to all of our beliefs there are rules to follow at grave sites for example you're not allowed to even spit on the ground on that ground did you not their feet or kick rocks if you had to dig in that ground you have to first put on a handkerchief red ochre and pray this is pursuant to our laws on how to treat all graveyards this law of non disturbance is based upon the principles of respect and reciprocity this means that agents sites and remains should not be physically disturbed under in appropriate circumstances according to the whole community Alvers these sites are valued as as powerful ancestral places that must be protected out of respect for past generations in fact the disturbance of these ancestral places is believed to have negative consequences for the living however there are instances when welcome even people will intentionally disturb and even remove the remains of the Dead for example their current whole communities that allow for the disturbance of human remains and they are unalterably threatened sylvia harris provides one such example and she stated traditionally if remains were disturbed we were we would have to take care of them like here was the burial when my mom was alive when George and I were first married the shore on the Seattle Yacht Club was washing away in an exposed to burial site they found human remains and so my mom and George cemented the area so that would have you further disturbed a good portion of the time people try and keep a burial site the way it is if this site is going to be disturbed or used then we have to take care of those remains if you don't take care of it something could happen to those ancestors families or young ones that's our teachings that's our way other people don't think about it that way however it is important to know that the practices that allow for the intentional disturbances of human remains from their original burial location are not intended to be disrespectful to the deities therefore one can see that the solutions posed by some private landowners to simply return those remains so that development can continue it's completely contrary to the laws of the whole commune of people in finding against the panella ket the EAB stated that the applicant provided insufficient evidence to counter the conclusions that all potential contaminants will be at safe levels upon entering and receive entering the receiving environment the discharge water quality will be acceptable for any marine life and discharge will not occur within the local clan beds or deeper waters the panel found that the applicant did not do sufficient evidence to establish that the discharge of affluent in accordance with the approval would cause irreparable harm to cultural deposits at the site at this day it was denied these two differing opinions on the treatment and values of these sacred sites illustrate that conflicts that that conflicts can occur within a state which contains more than one legal tradition as expressed by august sylvester the canadian laws that permitted their people are in direct confrontation with the laws of the hull camino people | Lawyers' Rights Watch Canada LRWC | UCBZlYmGx5Y8xK6KHmyd6bQQ |

your crop and fishing videos so much mainly going after white crappie today using my favorite crappie rod the yama river I've also got one for Rob and I'm gonna rig that up with got some braids on

actually put some some goldfish on some hooks see what happens just go see if we catch some catch some fish under some bridges around some marinas that are hanging around on some live minnows I've tried to get on the fish and find them but really I enjoy other people catching the fish watching them just enjoying the camaraderie when you're getting the meat looks like hunting camp everybody gathers round you're there for the harvest enjoy the festivities enjoy the primitive nature hunter-gathering maybe it goes that deep I don't know maybe I just like fishing way too much I've got my

quickly slice them up we have got enough for a good lunch for me Stephen and Rob you know we couldn't stay out here and catch the boar we got plenty of other bait selections here but we have some hungry fish back in the guggenheim a need to be fed so I think we're gonna just have lunch all the way around hey Sarah just drove on that bridge she didn't know we were here Oh Sarah was just here she was watching Rob catches first crappie on purpose got that awesome what do you want you think about the crappie it's all about their way back okay like a medal of achievement by being on here with the white bass king like you guys know hell if G has done bass fishing tracks done that's why you'd be seen no faster ship videos but he's crappie I enjoy watching other people catch crappie it's a good fun community activity which look at that yes Stephen strong well this is where this big propane tank coming in handy for God if I'm injured or not Rob was so generous to brings his Elk from his elk hunting trips he harvested two this year an amazing feat and he's already got some of the meat back and he's got a fresh steak well it's been in his pocket this morning trying to thaw out I don't know freshest crappie and elk surf and turf special y'all gonna be a nice little treat here never had cropping help cover my life if any of you have you're a true outdoorsman I gotta tell you okay we're gonna Flay these up then we're gonna throw them on slap style half shell style slaps on the grill look at that crisp white this is why you catch crappies delicious and we're going half shells on these guys just like this that's it right there going on the Bob no condiments all man tastebuds no need for chick-fil-a sauce pepper Vasco I actually disagree with it takes place chick-fil-a sauces is good with everything god crappies are awesome if we were bass fishing right now we'd still be out there trying to catch like hold on like our first fish a little bit salt pepper butter chick-fil-a sauce what you call man lunch I called that a munch much good that looks like it belongs in a restaurant I kind of feel like I mustered help steaks looking prime yeah I'm not the least of our worries here there's other crappies at least the crop is cook fairly quick oh yeah see on this whole body I've never done him whole body it's probably different way to clean them yeah but you know that guy's done so good is it crappie oh yeah crappies delicious by itself crappie action not really flaking yet so you can actually just like this was all right just just a survival situation definitely we just click those things up all and we just kind of scrape out the meat out of the ribs and everything I could taste the fish in the meat like very strong you could taste the fish with the meat you thought I could taste the fish in the meat I think it's good let's try let's try some straight-up fish a little scale there we'll just put that off ah oh it's only it's real little warm yeah there's hot but very very flaking crappie you can always count on a crappie to be playful now the crazy thing is we were fishing an hour ago now it is juicy fillet that needs some dang catch up in a hurry needs ketchup in a cruise light but I just cooked perfectly good job Rob just flaked right off the skin they're half shell if you get a big one like that big 13 14 inch sure we had good to do a half shell mode on that other ones I'm gonna grease okay one good note I know this isn't most appealing because some concrete sitting next to a propane tag but this isn't the whole Schmoke and a pancake it's like coconut crappie this is five-star know are there airplanes flying over yes there's a little chewy yes how old was this out me though you know what Grady was a he's in third grade are you full box you hold too bloody I think you like the fish yeah oh oh there's a thumbnail opportunity what's the final verdict Iran on the elf vs. fish don't cook your elk in the same place as your cooking your crappie from 85 degree water think you might have a point there here's the deal no seasonings on this you're gonna get more of the natural flavor I thought I got out needed some black pepper and maybe something else the fish you can sort of taste the minnows that they've been eating small ones not so much the bigger crappie fillets yes they've definitely been eating some minnows down there and you can taste it just needs a little ketchup is all but gets the job done that's good I didn't sit on you look at those tiny scales my goodness had never been crappie fishing before I thought the live bait would be an awesome idea have them just drop it down there and dangle it and it's super effective on crappies some days that the jigs are more effective you can drop the jig down there and you can catch them faster in a highly pressured lake or if there's high pressure in the atmosphere or just the fish aren't biting that well that live bait man it is good and that guy at the bait store there's huge minnows I would say if you're gonna go crappie fishing try to get these mosquitoes are terrible try to get I'm gonna say about like pinky size minnows the ones we had were like fingerling size almost like a shiner and a little little too big after eating the fish on the shore we did think about going out and trying some of the goldfish around some of those same pilings and try to get some big bass or maybe some Magnum crappie but the fish at the Guggenheim to be fed so if you guys want to go see that you check it out on Lucas Channel or stay tuned for the Hugin squad Channel but we constantly have to feed Gary he's so small got to keep him growing till his goldfish are going to good use we had Rob catching his first crappie Colorado elk cooked up with Texas crappie on the grill that's an interesting combo definitely use some condiments there but it was still good if y'all are fans of crappie let me know in the comments I certainly like it you guys know that but I want to hear from you and if you haven't tried it go out there do it it's a cool new aspect of fishing I always like to do it when the bastard shoots kind of tough I want to try to focus on crappie a little bit more in the spring too when we have those off bass days try to go to some lakes that have some monster crappie I want to get a huge one on the wall and maybe it's up in Canada maybe I go back to Canada and try to go after those monsters again next year it's definitely a cool species it's like a smaller bass and they absolutely walloped abatements fun to catch on finesse Keir thank you all for tuning in today if you've never checked out lunker's TV channel he'll be linked down below we do a lot of fishing adventures together usually a ton in the spring but this is our first crappie adventure together also down in the description you'll find links to the new merch new camo hats new make every cast count shirts and some other this down there wherever you are in this great big world I hope you're having a great day in the outdoors and please somebody sniff a fish for me I'll see your bright and shiny faces right back here on the channel next time [Music] | Dimoha |

3guDeyaJVoo | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3guDeyaJVoo | Resurrection Sunday - Jesus is Alive! | [Music] happy easter everyone today is a day jesus has risen he is not dead but alive in heaven say it with me jesus is alive when jesus was crucified and he died on the cross the disciples were shocked and afraid they thought jesus was god's promised savior when jesus was alive he even told them that he would die and come back to life but the disciples didn't understand at that time listen carefully for four proofs today that jesus really did what he said he would come to do when the hateful and religiously religious leaders planned to have jesus killed they falsely accused him of being a criminal even though jesus had done nothing wrong he was nailed to a cross and he died some of the followers including nicodemus buried jesus body in a tomb they put a huge stone in front of the opening and early on the morning on the third day after jesus died two women who were his followers came to jesus's tomb suddenly there was a great earthquake an angel from heaven came and rolled back the stone from the opening and sat on top of it the bible says the angel's appearance was like lightning and his clothes were as white as snow the woman were afraid but the angel told them to not be afraid that jesus had risen from the dead proof number one jesus said he would come alive again the angel told the woman to tell the disciples that jesus is alive the woman keep couldn't keep such um great news to themselves they ran to tell their friends about what had happened the tomb was empty no body no bones just an empty burial cloth proof number two the tomb is empty that same day two of jesus followers were traveling to a town named emmaus they were talking about all that that had happened about jesus dying and about jesus resurrecting while they were talking a stranger began to walk with them this stranger was jesus he asked what are you talking about they were surprised you must be the only person who hasn't heard about all that's happened they told him jesus had died but that morning some woman reported that jesus was actually alive it was all so confusing then the stranger started talking to them about things that were written hundreds of years ago he started way back in the old testament proof number three the old testament said the savior would die and rise again god's true worth said these things would happen and they did you can trust the bible to always tell the truth about everything including that jesus died and came alive again eventually all of jesus's closest followers and his disciples saw jesus alive in person they not only saw him but ate with him and touched him he was truly alive later many more people saw jesus alive if just one or two people saw jesus they some might think that they were lying or imagining things but the bible says over 500 people saw jesus at the same time all those people couldn't be lying or seeing things proof number four there were hundreds of eyewitnesses forty days after jesus resurrection after hundreds of people had seen him alive jesus led his disciples out to a town called bethany and reminded them that he would send them a helper the helper is god the holy spirit jesus gave them another promise he told them the holy spirit would give them power and they should tell everyone in the whole world about the good news of jesus jesus is telling us this message too we have the holy spirit in ourselves and we have the power to tell the whole world about the good news of jesus then something else amazing happened jesus's feet left the ground and he began going up in the air higher and higher until he finally disappeared into a cloud while the disciples were still looking up at the sky two angels came and said why are you standing around looking at the sky jesus who went back to heaven will be coming back in the same way that he went just as jesus said he would rise from the dead he will also promise he will come back someday to take those who have believed in him to be with him forever our bodies will be resurrected and we will live forever in heaven jesus resurrection is the best news ever in this book journey to the cross the author paul david tripp writes know that today that no matter what you are going through because of the grace of the life death and resurrection of jesus your life story have now been absorbed into his great story of victory over all that sin has broken because of what jesus has done you can rest in knowing the glorious way your story will end in fact because of the grace of jesus the end of your story is that it has no [Music] end | HOPE Church - MD | UCnjoi-4L422O0Tj0hwnV9kw | 2021-04-04 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 856 | 4,556 |
XvTzle14-YM | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvTzle14-YM | Let's Build a Jurassic Park!!! - Jurassic Park Evolution | Ep 1 | hello everybody and welcome to our ease the soreness challenge series I've set it to medium because I don't really want to go through the hell that was um jurassic difficulty that was awful never again I don't care what skin you're locking away from me frontier I'm not doing it oh I was thinking about doing easy the parts at the bottom and Jurassic what oh no oh I'm sorry guys I I didn't select Jurassic you're a mr. bean I just said well so you see the problem is you don't really know until you see it what the difference is like we were promised that there was going to be a Jurassic Park UI and as far as I'm aware the only difference is that there's like an orange line around the outside of the thing so maybe that something they completely forgot about or maybe they miss said just misspoke about something hmm either way here we are already I'm losing money I don't even know how it does so let's do this I'm gonna try challenge for you right okay so this is I'm gonna try to recreate the park I made because it looked so pretty I really like the way it looked come on there we go dress Q I like it I like the dress Keira seems a lot more a lot simpler than the other ones I'm not gonna worry too much about money or anything at the moment what I am going to do is just make a nice park or make a nice area we should say so yeah this is going up during Christmas I think and good god I am actually not here so this is all a prove the illusion it's all pre-recorded no this is but to be honest guys is the first time who didn't do that right dinner Oh delete oh okay there we go this is the first time I've ever taken a holiday and not had pre-recorded content so it's kind of a big deal for me it's usually it's nerve-racking when it comes to YouTube because you feel like you feel like if you don't have content then you're just your channel will die and it doesn't matter how many how many of these YouTube things I go to and they say no actually what we find is that you get more views when you come back it used you it's like you have to jump into the deep end in order to believe it yourself so obviously I haven't left you completely by yourself with no content I would hope so I hope I haven't done that so what I what I should have done or what I have done I think is I am probably going to be uploading on the weekends that's what I'm hoping I'm doing because it makes sense when I just when a lot of people watch YouTube and that's when I watch YouTube is awesome hey why not oh I remember what I did differently here okay I got you I got this I got this so yeah I think I've also given all the people who won the giveaway their code so I'm quite glad that I might do that fairly quick there were a few people that just never got back in touch there was one put like there was two or three I think they're just like I'm still waiting for them to accept the friend of course and they still haven't so if you're watching you might want to accept the friend who Christ but there was one person who would and he'd already bought the game or he'd been gifted it he was like oh I won oh and just give it away to somebody else so I did and they've got it now so there you go a little bit of closure so what I wanted to do your course or I should correct curry bus I don't know you see I can kind of speak Japanese but not when I'm doing other things at the same time that's when I don't speak good Japanese that's when I'm embarrassing right there you go see open up because little walkway here we won't want to just spend some time you know just get some lights light it up well actually do we want to put that in front of it oh no don't leave the path come on delete the light delete the light come on why are you not to leave wood why we not okay look okay never mind foot we're not we're not doing that apparently um but I'll put lights there I'll put lights all the way around make it look nice so I mean there is I'm not trying to like speedrun this or anything for one there's no extra prize for speedrunning it and I'm not doing Jurassic I did Jurassic I thought it would be fun it was not fun if anybody who watch my series can attest to it it was horrendous it was a nightmare and by the end and that's a thing if you want to do Jurassic challenge mode you can but you just need to know what you're doing there's like a set tactic for doing it I mean now we've got like the randomness interesting unique unprecedented that times terrifying business but our business nonetheless that is why the Hammond foundation will be deducting a fee from your operation that's what I was thinking right I was like oh you know what no let's do it let's em let's let's do just as typically going to be fun to be a challenge and then I just got a saw flashback to when I was trying to do it before and I remember the the horror okay oh you doing it again oh my frigging god I hate this game the horror of like having so many enclosures things dying things breaking out a constant storm I just decided not to put myself through it in God you would okay so but I've 17 sex two random so that's gonna be fun also it's gonna be a little bit tricky because we're gonna end up destroying these trees we use trees or these trees okay okay tell you what tell you what will ever like that there we go there we go see you've got oh no come on gonna look it through ah you seem to look at that there's like so much space oh okay well there goes some money I suppose I should have just made the path first shouldn't happen so yeah I'm a little bit nervous for like because I'm going away for two weeks and this is like I said it's the first time the I'm just not going to have content or at least not every day usually I'm sweating sweating bullets and just staying up constantly getting like zero hours of sleep you know just trying to get content ready for when I'm away I just thought I'm not gonna do this time it's not gonna do it whether or not I call me but you know more more recently I've noticed that I'm just I mean it's not that I can't be bothered it's just the I'm enjoying doing other things I'm enjoying like learning to play the piano I'm enjoying learning to learn a different language and deep like other things then worrying about YouTube and there's a lot of things that I see I'm like oh I could be doing I could have you know it could have been you know really pumping out that content and I you know what I did for a little bit I did I did when a kid this came out I mean oh I got oversleep I got like no sleep doing that just like how many videos did a happen a day never remember it was a lot oh god this is quite small actually is it gonna be big enough word depends on we got we don't even know I need to buy everything one two three and oh no it's going dog thank you so much for the support on the air merchandise it's been awesome I think as of recording this the second batch has ran out of small lodge an extra Lodge I think there's only two sizes left in the hoodies and that's it they're gone well I don't think we're getting any more in so not that I cut anyway and if I did I'd feel a bit bad because then it would be well everyone who's you know got the thing got the hoodies and I've sort of made like oh well there's only going this many so already 250 only 500 only a thousand but no it was only going to be a limited thing so right so we got the shingles I have one up a beach but we got no beach so isto god yes let's set up a dig site show what do we have corythosaurus serrata Soros and is that it it must be another one Dilophosaurus i like the idea of a Ceratosaurus who doesn't like a good old brute on I do and what else we got like part-time is three hours but doesn't really make it if it's just you get five stars we go get her our Azores we could get you pose evidence we could get all binoculars that's good we should probably get binoculars less research binoculars what do we got arid Alpine or step we could have I think if I remember right Alpine is oh what a great sort no really sour sauce with tooth and achieve facility rating of point five sauce I thought it said five stars are you kidding me already so without further ado we need to first make a way for these guys to see the dinosaurs that is down here I think no that is a Peter James you were so close though so I'm thinking what we do is we have it Oh God yeah it needs to be needs me a little bit here probably like that yeah let's do that yeah and look at that now what I'm gonna do is just have no we're not gonna go into the enclosure no no no no we're going to go around the outside of the enclosure and for now this is what its gonna be like because we've only got I guess we could have another enclosure there I suppose we'll just have it run round the outside foot for the time being what I'm gonna do is just curve this round there we go there we go but it's not connected to the path we could for the drastic part gauge we're in it for about five minutes and then they're out what's this one what does it say fans Oh fancy let's have a fancy pop will also have actually know what wait till we get a mission that says we're only on 800,000 now though so what do we have that we we have no what nothing is on like fear you know withdraw support operation Genesis they give you a little bit they give you a little bit of DNA so you can make a dinosaur right away this no mmm-hmm no way when I played this actually it wasn't the explorers that were going around it was the Jeeps which is really weird and I assume they hadn't actually put that into the game too much because I put some red words let's get oh no I wonder what a shrouded in mystery keep it away there you go there we go then when we get to here yeah yeah so just a little bit more trees keep it all secretive yes now I had loads of fun with this if I remember right I just made a huge puddle and then we got a mountain and we made the mountain like a little bit this way I think that way and then it's a shame that's in the dark hopefully I will have changed the the sentence for you so you can see it fine like the gamma settings these scenery trees now are going to count towards the the animals requirement for forest which is got a width we've oh that's it that's all the creature source we get from there oh okay right so we still got some of this don't need to worry about that Alpine I think we've got weakened Alpine we're gonna go 500,000 left oh Jesus oh we need a research food and stuff Oh Lord that's interesting we can't make anything great fun Tuffy doozy okay we're gonna have to wait here a little bit Jurassic Park is gonna close its gates for the last time before it's even opened so we've got some shingle that is there anything else we can put a sign down like I mean maybe create the source we'll go in here yeah maybe create the source we'll probably gonna be cheaper and we can get a few of them I think what do we got yes let's extract its 40,000 oh yes finally oh all we need is just a few more rocks like that and we'll be all good Oh God researched the buildings research less than a minute why are these researchable things that doesn't really make too much sense right we'll make this a good enclosure how about over here we'll have the water over here we could actually I guess have it just go all across the path bit here smooth manner smooth that out get rid of that put some forests at the back that's how you do it like an aquarium your paint the background so it's not just some weird wall so when they look into it it looks pretty never paint that as well yes and then actually do we bother getting the feeder I mean Ricardo I mean obviously or yes oh I'm back over a million and we got a little fossil for a sea reptile unfortunately I don't think we'll ever get that anything will ever get sea reptiles in this game there's a bit of a shame we've almost got the creature source gene of all the way down that's good oh now better than some BG tips release oh oh we gotta choose now Ian Malcolm is the best because he puts both of them up I think yeah look whoa get stoned events to cover sorry storm station coverage on 70% of your Island oh well if you don't say in we all know what's waiting out there and a new contract is waiting for you here I mean I'm hoping that this is enough I could be wrong though let's put that there right we need a sign we need some signs and I just wish that you could get all of the friggin paintbrushes on these islands instead of just having a few ah such a shame oh and there you go in Jeff baby hey we need to get warnings of any approaching storms that was nice work oh you're very welcome I think so with challenge mode you get it like a new mission it's that you do Ian again let's go for Ian on track another opportunity but can you see it through hmm I believe that you could mmm now you need to decide if you should so Jeff if you should got 11 all right incubate we've got a corythosaurus Maeby's fossil teams are working Oh is it working really quick however this one stain a little bit longer because it's not set off James God I mean any more lights can we put lights at the front I was gonna say please it's not a storm is there we can put it in the water yeah beautiful lights in the water they don't need power it's quite good just let me mess around with the lights make it look pretty I want to make it a pretty yes the light bulb sat like the sound effect they made kind of reminds me a little nightmares it's a bit terrifying actually see this one we go the other way look so cool coming through the trees in a storm all right so that's toilets done we don't really need to worry about these too much I don't think until we have a dinosaur oh yeah there you go beautiful but if I can speedrun' it held yeah we'll try and go for it there now possible that's going to be though yeah what I want to do is kind of make this so it's oh you can't connect that to that oh that's cool I like it ah yes although yeah kind of doesn't really look too good when there's like a giant gap between it can you do a fence on the other side as well just on that side oh that's a shame Oh stomata source is ready though but oh yes how we just keep getting so much more money that's perfect but I want Kavita Soros though again Ceratosaurus maybe we should make some other source first it's only on 52 though kinda wanna wait maybe we just took some should we took some in should we took some creature source in me as well what can we give him ah that's right No we need to research the damn turtle give me the turtle or the shark will do sharks good too I kind of know what gives lifespan genes off by heart now so if we look at the island like what I'm expecting is that we can have the you know the cars go round that way come round that way so we'll have two tours and then we can split like loads of the like this into different sections like different segments and I can you know the cars can just go around the inside or maybe they can go through one and then round the other one and the same can kind of go for this as well we probably just need to keep this as like a hub that's what I'm thinking it's just a fact twelve hours is the power time for this that's oh that's terrifying I don't like that no not for me you know thank you yeah I like it I like the way this looks I wonder if can I put a mountain on here oh I kind of can I can make some like rough terrain oh that looks good okay well we should almost be there with the corythosaurus oh wait what can we not extract that oh we are gonna be there what we can whoa we're getting like 90 odd percent with that one 93 so we're pretty much just gonna settle these so now we can start working on Herrera soros because Herrera Soros not that I know where he is oh there he is is part of a mission so we might as well do that so we've got 93% on that I am researching the success ratio mod alright well we may as well start laying the groundwork for the next carnivores oh that's a weird-looking enclosure but what I'll do is I'll split it down zoom it is why do we need a prop to Hawtree like what what does I even do oh yeah we never had a gate I didn't realize that more year Malcolm Wu and our first ever dinosaurs into that pack lovely boring corythosaurus I mean it's alright I suppose it's not the best though is he okay with this though about oh there you go point five I made sure nothing as well oh I'm glad to hear it John oh my god it got a disease straight away what's the point in going for Cabot Finch over John Hammond what does kind of Finch do he puts up John Hammond and Jeff Goldblum is that it may be offered to step up and claim your prize alright it's about time to change the tour hopefully for the better so we're gonna have it go all the way along here look at that a rock all the way along this one wow this is gonna be really long too now in here I'm thinking we can this can be like a big enclosure this one I'm thinking maybe Brachiosaurus um you know some big herbivores not a big carnival now that they can you know be attacked and then in this one well not so much go through the enclosure as they will go round it and then we'll just make it super tight okay I forgot that they can't go over water there we go and now we have a huge the big one can you put a leg fences over oh you card right so we're gonna have to like remake it okay right so we got like a little thing in the middle and then I look Laureus in fact if we could sort of make this like I don't know yeah can we make it Lodge so then it sort of dips underneath oh that would look cool yeah man sort of on like a pedestal where they can look down into the enclosures I like that that looks really cool oh well this we've gotten Ian Malcolm thing he gives us 300 grand once we have no power outages that's good the corythosaurus exhibit well seeing is that's what that's gonna be can we add like a hadrosaur logo yeah there you go so they they'll come up to it like this and then oh god I can cover it in trees a little bit just a little bit just a little bit and there you go hmm Hydra soars about to approach her on assault panic when I first experienced this place John apologized for things that didn't work no but with your efforts on this contract no apologies needed oh why thank you I'm just I'm just amazing he loves me he loves me all right so I'm just gonna put all of these play oh yeah Malcolm always gotta go for on the islands we need to run towards or run away from what our ignorance has created I prefer the former and that is why I strongly suggest that you take a look at this latest contract yeah take a look at this contract I'll try can I do it three hours is it possible wow there's like no need for these oh no we got 25 people on this one never mind yes make a profit sell it for $10 that's fine keep on clicking escape when I should be looking fried click make a little bit of a profit from that and toilets now have a fight there we go some nice trees as well got a spruce it up a little bit and we'll add some shingles yes now that looks good oh I love it look so good hold on we um we put some of this in I don't know what that is but it adds a cool look to it I like it yes some flowers some bulaklak was a Bulaq you got flowers then you got Hannah and then you got bulaklak I think is that cebuano I think it's just Bullock for a dialogue I know all the languages I sprechen them all right now we won't be losing money Oh increase shelter coverage by 10% oh we're gonna have to do this we're gonna have to do this in all right I'm gonna make this get the money then delete it I think that's that's the best way you've got to do it cut what is it science a helipad that way yes helipad that way have you got anything else that we can put in no other signs really yeah there you go yes I did dinosaur that would be a successful hunt so enjoy the meal I will do thank you Jeff right we've got a loo average let's try arid with this guy immune no we want to thudding isn't it that's what Ellie Sattler wants we have one tooth hardening and then we'll we'll make two of those how much you think a 400,000 oh god they're expensive Oh perfect we found some precious metals yes two of them and then I'm gonna have to sell the Oh okay Jeff again because Jeff is best hi dr. Malcolm here with a new contract offer for you a gift if you will toward improving your standing thank you never get old okay it'll never get old kind of want to put some yeah put put some like tree bits around that way get maybe get a get rid of it in the middle but yes outside there there we go it looked like this I did more it's like oh my god looks so good to be fair I did place a lot of areas of redwood trees thing is once you follow you can sort of place them in trees I wish you could cycle through instead of having to click on immense scroll down to find them yeah there's one no not the same tree I think it might be the same tree they're expensive you know especially when you're doing challenge mode but we're getting there we've got to her our resources on the away and that should boost us over to one star but if you enjoyed this video leave a like in the next one maybe we'll get one star I've expected we will and I'll see you later or bye bye [Music] | TheGamingBeaver | UCP-iaFrmWcOG0o461wMicdg | 2019-12-26 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 4,349 | 21,289 |
B8AtXZbz3WY | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8AtXZbz3WY | Wayne Dyer Change Your Thoughts Change Your Life 17th Verse | the seventeenth verse of the dao da ching quote with the greatest leader above them people barely know one exists next comes one whom they love and praise next comes one whom they fear next comes one whom they despise and defy when a leader trusts no one no one trusts him the great leader speaks little he never speaks carelessly he works without self-interest and leaves no trace when all is finished the people say we did it ourselves unquote living as an enlightened leader to reflect the lesson in this verse of the daoda ching means changing how you see authority which means viewing great or enlightened leaders as those who don't actually lead anyone through the perspective of the dao such individuals create an environment where everyone feels that they have a personal responsibility to and are a part of the process by adopting this model of an enlightened leader you'll be more than likely to alter the ways you criticize and admire captains of industry government or religion as well as the way you guide others the advice in the 17th verse is directed toward leaders of all kinds in fact you can personalize it by substituting the word parent or teacher for leader examine the ways that you view your own tactics and then make the changes that are necessary in order to be someone who makes an enlightening difference in the lives of others first you must stay in the background and become an astute observer of what's taking place then ask yourself how without interfering you can create an environment that will help everyone act responsibly the dao advises making yourself as invisible as possible if you truly wish to be an effective leader thus perhaps your best strategy would be to actually leave the room and allow everyone else to act without feeling that they need to impress you maybe you should offer a slight suggestion and then an immediate departure a knowing smile or gesture that conveys to the group that you trust in its ability to figure things out might work best possibly what's needed is for you to tell a quick story of how others have resolved similar issues or you could simply meditate and send positive conflict resolving energy to all the individuals present whatever your decision you'll be well aware of the need to create an environment where everyone will be able to say we fixed it ourselves without the need for any interference from anyone we really don't need a supervisor this approach of course involves suspending your desire to be seen as a strong authority figure truly inspiring leaders get results by their own example they encourage others to be responsible and do the right thing but not by proclaiming and bragging about their unimpeachable management they create space for others to be inspired and to achieve their own greatness when the time comes for receiving accolades they dissolve in the background wanting everyone else to feel that their accomplishments arose from their own leadership qualities the supreme daoist leader always leaves people to choose and pursue their own way of life their own conception of the good the view of a self-styled authoritarian is not the way enlightened leaders see themselves rather they they raise the energy of an environment through a viewpoint that elevates lower inclinations in this verse the dao offers three other ways of choosing to be a leader one option is to make a difference in the lives of others resolving conflicts through love by being an instrument of love and making an effort to praise others this leader stays in harmony with the dao those who are praised are inclined to become self-loving and act in a cooperative rather than a competitive fashion the drawback is that using the approval and affection of a leader for motivation means turning control of one's life over to that leader but if you see that the choice is between love or fear that thou always sees love as superior the ineffectiveness of fear as a leadership style is obvious if i can get you to do as i desire by using that weapon then you'll only behave in those ways as long as i have the power to threaten you when i leave my influence over you departs as well studies have measured the effectiveness of teachers who were considered strict disciplinarians students in this setting were well behaved when the feared individual was in the room yet when he or she departed the classroom turned chaotic the opposite was true of instructors who viewed education as an opportunity to praise and encourage students their presence or absence from the room had almost no noticeable impact this is a great thing to keep in mind if you're a mother or a father that is do you want your children to behave only when you're around or do you want them to have the self-discipline to conduct themselves wisely whether you're there or not i've always believed that parents are not for leaning upon but rather they exist to make leaning unnecessary the least effective means for managing others is to use tactics that will encourage them to despise you for the moment they leave your site they'll defy all that you say and all that you stand for dictators almost always find this out the hard way when the people they've abused rise up to threaten them in the same intolerable fashion in which they've been treated children who despise a parent similarly tend to emulate the hateful tactics to which they were subjected or they detach themselves completely from that dictatorial adult and spend years attempting to heal the scars from the terrible treatment the enlightened leader trusts those whom he or she is in a position to govern this view results in trust as he or she who has faith in the people will be trusted by them in turn consequently they'll be able to say we did this ourselves so raise your children to be self-sufficient to make their own decisions as soon as they're able and to feel pride in the decisions they do make see yourself as an enlightened leader and show the world a new type of leadership children who grow up with such a view will be the next generation of great leaders that lao tzu describes here's what i believe the esteemed master lao tzu is offering you today first instead of believing that you know what's best for others trust that they know what's best for themselves allow other people to share their thoughts about the path they see for themselves let your position be known but also convey that you trust them to make the right choice then step back and peacefully believe that the way you look at this situation will change offer praise when those in your charge are making their own decisions even when their behavior may conflict with yours trust yourself to give the best response by not seeing yourself as knowing what's right remember this phrase from the dao da ching when a leader trusts no one no one trusts him the surest way to gain the faith of those you govern or supervise is to allow them to make as many decisions as possible and secondly take pride in refusing to take credit if you look at others accomplishments as a reason for you to be rewarded promoted or complimented change your viewpoint let praise go to those who are the beneficiaries of your leadership speak less frequently and suspend your self-interest instead allow everyone in your care to speak for themselves change how you see their performance from being a credit to your skill to the thrill they exhibit over their own accomplishments you'll cease wanting credit and alternatively feel the happiness and pride that they're experiencing this is how the great poet hafiz described it in the 14th century poetry that he composed quote even after all this time the sun never says to the earth you owe me look what happens with a love like that it lights the whole sky unquote love those you're entrusted to lead just as the sun loves our planet simply be there to serve never demanding anything in return do the dow now choose some situations with your children or anyone you've been designated to supervise to become an active observer nod smile frown or gesture without saying a thing where you previously would have readily interfered notice how your active observing impacts those you've been assigned to lead this is dow leadership | Flow Ra | UCMpGZYjAmVnwsF40qTnIc0g | 2022-01-18 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 1,446 | 8,245

dk4D2W6uND4 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dk4D2W6uND4 | Dubuque and Princeton Ready To Open Flood Gates s 2 u 1000663 pro N pub Y c 253419 | coach Dubuque is it movin enough here and I owe ya in Georgia for you love it hi someone I don't even have to warm up it's right already you literally don't have to that's right alright coming here looking at the combine here at c3 you're number two what are you here last year I wasn't cochairs was here representing Princeton so I'll tell you I give them a rest and come out here and check out some smart kids and some technique and things like that so alright you know I asked you the question you know not every kid can go to Princeton yeah it's not like they're going to state schools and the Pennsylvania system the Ohio system where the academic standards just you're now Ivy League yeah looking at getting some smart kids absolutely how hard is it to get a smart kid this graduate Bennett can Russell and it's tougher next well I think I think the climate is changing I think kids who are putting as much emphasis on their academics as they other wrestling so we're getting a great combination and even the guys are you know that are really smart and that they're you know stud wrestlers maybe fifteen years ago they weren't they weren't really looking at Ivy League schools that are still looking to maybe go to those big 10 big 12 schools because you know the wrestling was top notch there now the Ivy League is proving that you can go to an Ivy League school especially Princeton you can get the best education and become an all-american and content for a national championship so I think guys who are you know who have those standards those academic standards for you know kicking butt and wrestling are really focusing on Princeton and the other Ivy League against that's a really good option looking at you guys finally breaking through with an all-american at 197 this year obviously that's gonna be a huge weight off your shoulders because everything's so much centered in the sport that you know we're in looking at that I think the flood feels to me like the floodgates are about to open for you you've got a guy coming off gray shirt who's I think is one of the best guys coulda won 141 this year looking at guys like that looking at your 197 I think it's right there for the floodgates to open part of the floodgates gonna open for Princeton this year and we're gonna see a bunch of guys in the podium yeah yeah I think you know in years past I mean you know we're you know not selling kids on a vision but that's what we were talking about you know we're talking we're talking about that day three years ago you know we're talking about Brent Horner being an all-american but we didn't just we didn't have it yet now we had it and going back to how I just talked about or just what I said affords you know we're the number one school in the country you if you have an opportunity to go there you can get the best education you and compete to be an all-american and now we're starting to prove it and we're starting to show that our system works and that you can come to Princeton and you can accomplish your goals academically and wrestling wise and I think they are because that's what really helped kids up you know it's because we didn't have that all-american to point to it we didn't have that national champion or anything like that so you know now we have somebody who's come up through our system who's been them's done it and now people are people are not gonna be like well you know you haven't really proved the wrestling why's now we're starting together you know Ben Askren was a program changer for Mizzou could collapse it could be a program changer for Princeton is that something that do you feel comfortable talking about that can this guy be the guy who changes the culture absolutely and here's the thing like a program has taken jumps you know just in the last 10 years that co-chairs within them you know it's it's jumps on on you know and accomplishing different things and breaking through different areas you know we feel like this senior class that's going to be seniors was really a program change and you know Brett Horner him you know committing to Princeton and saying I'm gonna go there you know really on a vision and on what we were telling him was gonna be that is in itself was a program changer now you know yeah we broke into the top 30 we got an all-american now we feel like a collage you can definitely collage and this freshman class can easily take us to that next level of where we want to be you know in the top ten and consistently producing multiple all-american having guys contempt for national championships oh absolutely I think Matthew Cole Asik and the rest of the younger group of guys can take this program to where we really need it to be our TC you guys started in our TC if you look at the RTC and getting the infrastructure for post-grad leets bringing in post-grad athletes to train freestyle we're gonna have a little bit that rub off on your team how important this is that infrastructure and adding that I think it's really important you know I mean like everybody has different things that they want to add you know that they feel can add a perk to their program some guys do a complex you know we're really looking at that regional training center we feel like that can be something that can you know be a viable option for guys post grads to really train and try to accomplish their goals of being you know world team members world champions Olympic champions which then does trickle down you know to the to the Princeton University team so that's something that we're really looking at I feel like we have a great location to do it you know one of our one of our biggest you know alumni is Michael Novogratz he's you know he's mister you they say wrestling is beat the streets so I think that we can really blow this thing up and really be one of the best regional train Olympic regional training centers in the country you know co-chairs it's in his 30s I believe you're in your 30s now I I have to say co-chairs is in this 40s but really it looks good how are you guys as far as do you get out and train with the guys punch anymore in order to become more watching observing here's what you need to fix as your coaching style changes his coaching style change no I just leave like I think what's really unique about our coaching staff is that we all have a lot of coaching experience I mean I have 10 years of d1 coaching experience under my belt coach Greg think has the same thing you throw 10 or 11 years of coaching experience cochairs has ten years of head coaching experience so and we all get on the mat Russell I think that's really kind of what separates us from a lot of programs where you know if you see you know if you see if you go to programs it's usually the you know you have an older head coach who's got a ton of experience administrative guy he kind of plants out practices then you have guy who's you know who also has some you know coaching but he still gets on the math and he helps out administrative Lee I've been you know your second assistant is really like a young guy straight addict how it's really like a you know workout partner grinder things like that so I think that's kind of you know unique about our coaching staff that we get in there and drive you know I'm in there working with the RTC guys I'm also working out with our guys from 25 to 49 so I mean you know I love wrestling I mean it's it's just it's in my blood you know what I say well I said I feel like I'm 21 again no but you know you got to make some adjustments to your wrestling you and you know how much you do get on the mat but I get on the mat nice but especially I got this really really good kid who always pulls on me and tries to get me to wrestle you know he'll be he'll be in Princeton next year so do you think that you know looking at the degrees that kids get I mean these guys are going to wall street I think Daniel Kozik actually is on wall street baby yep I mean that's just like that's one example everybody moves on to like almost it feels like bigger or better things than wrestling do you think Princeton guys you know when they get the degree it's time for them to go out into the world is it hard to sell on them hey come train go through a quad cycle and see if you can get on the Olympic team is that something hard for you guys to do is that some of your times to work towards a little bit more as a staff yes that's something you got an Ivy League degree yeah yeah honestly I think it I think it it really it comes from the guys that we're bringing in so the guys that we're bringing in now I'm not saying that that these guys before who have graduated they didn't have these goals but you know the guy said we have coming in if they have these postgraduate goals of making a world team and making an Olympic team and it's easy to sell those guys and honestly upon graduation that Princeton degree is always gonna be there so it's not like you here you have this rush you know to jump on you know strike while the iron's hot because you're just graduating and got to use this degree you know that first thing degree is always gonna be there and I honestly like our network is unbelievable with our alumni you know always wanting to hire within and wanting to hire their own so I think it's actually gonna be easier moving forward because these young guys have those goals of of standing and training for four years and that's what we want you know that's how the best programs do it Ohio State did it the brass because you know they're keeping their best guys you know in house you know in their regional training center they're keeping them training for one two cycles and and that's where Gil will where we when we get to where we want to be as a program when we're producing those multiple all Americans a year constantly in the top ten as a team we're gonna have those guys sticking around and it's gonna be you know it's gonna make it's gonna make the whole program good some live rustling coming up here I'm gonna watch some of that do you have anything else for me yeah so one more thing and we've been pushing this all spring is battle at the birthplace you know with us and Rutgers November 19th we're gonna be wrestling Rutgers University it's called battle at the birthplace in their football stadium at 11:00 a.m. right before Rutgers plays Penn State football we're trying to get you know the most fans to a college dorm in history I think Iowa and Oklahoma State did 42,000 we wanted to 45 I think we can absolutely do it in New Jersey especially with the surrounding states PA New York you know Maryland I think if we all come together and we you know if these people if these coaches and these kids say that they want to be a part of a part of history and they want to see something that never you know well it's only been done once but I mean that's that's the thing and honestly we're gonna have a great team Rutgers is gonna have a great team it's gonna be a fantastic event I'm super excited about and I can't wait I want to get 45,000 people that much well I'm trying to be there so we watching it all right man thanks for the

3T2uuT2wXjo | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3T2uuT2wXjo | 8 Logbook and Car Tax Tips & Tricks For Car Dealers (and The Public) | hello everyone welcome back to the channel I hope you're doing well today I thought I'd share some of the tips and tricks I've learned over the years in the car trade that can help you with the dvla hopefully help get you out of a stressful situation help save you some money and save you some time these are all things that I've learned from other Traders or from having to figure it out myself but I haven't really ever found anywhere that kind of lists these things out I mean some of them are going to be relevant to you some of them aren't they're going to be helpful for the public as well as the trade but I am going to kind of aim this at the trade maybe I'll explain a few things just in case you know you don't understand the processes of how things work but I'm just going to work my way through some of the things that I think are most useful advice that I give to people all the time they say what can I do with this situation members of Staff or other Trader friends that I know how do I do this how can I get around this and these are my top tips so I've got an example V5 document here this one happens to be for the Jeep Cherokee that I bought in to do our off-road challenge if you haven't seen that video Toby will put that up here so at the Top This is is the new style of V5 you've got your registration you've got your document reference number this section here as we can see how many Keepers the car has previously had this one's had five previous Keepers um it's also got a note there declared new at first registration they'll all say that sometimes these days on Modern cars if they're being been categorize whether they've got an insurance marker against them that will be there so that can be handy to know always worth checking the V5 first because it might tell you straight away I happen to do a history check that the car has got some damage against it here's all of our information about the vehicle what type of vehicle it is um what kind of tax class it is the weight the towing weight really useful information if a customer wants to know how much is the towing weight so this vehicle here 3 and 1/2 ton brake 750 kg uh Unbreak that's pretty much everything can you're not allowed to tow a trailer over 750 kilos it doesn't have Break um so there is useful information there if you're looking and the vehicle age is there the date it was first registered got change of vehicle details so if you want to change change the color you put a different engine in it things like that you can send that off selling or transferring a vehicle to a new keeper this is something that a lot of us would have been used to seeing this is the green section you would fill out the new keeper details on there and as the seller you would send that off in the post to the DV bit old hat now everything's done online and we will get into that in a minute then you've got change of name or address this is worth keeping an eye on remembering this for later in the video but again you can do this all online so this is a bit of a archaic document really some people are just so attached to it though this is what you should do you should post this you should do that I should keep this bit you shouldn't keep that but we're going to go through that because all of it can be done online now so there is no stress whatsoever one that we get a lot is this is your yellow section which is selling it to the motor trade so if you go and park exchange your vehicle at a dealership in the old days you would have to rip out that yellow section you would fill it out or get the garage to fill it out with the garage's details on it and post it off to the dvla so the dvla knows that it's been put into the trade and is no longer in your ownership so if someone at that dealership goes off and you know go speeding you're not going to get their speeding fines so that would be that what we do normally but again now you can do that online it used to be that just the customer who is disposing of the card to the dealer could do that online but now the dvla in a very sensible move have allowed the dealer to do it on your behalf so that it's all done and dusted when you're sat there kind of handing over and you you don't have to worry about it because quite frankly customers can't always be trusted to get that posted off or to go online at home understandably once they're at home excited that they've got their new car there is a section for exporting this vehicle uh if it's going to be for over 12 months so if you are sending your super high mileage let's say Nissan Patrol off to Uganda you'd need to fill that out and let the dvla know that that car is not going to be in the UK anymore and then most importantly is the new keeper slip so this is going to be kind of your proof of ownership this is something you do take away with you regardless of everything being done online now you still want to get that new keeper slip ideally there might be some scenarios where you can't but ideally you as the customer should be taking that away there is an opportunity to fill the date out on there but you may as well but it's not that relevant as long as you've got your sales receipt that's kind of your proof that you've bought that vehicle this is your interim document until your new V5 arrives once the uh dealer has sent that on off or the person whoever selling you the car sends that off this is your kind of document which will help you tax the car this is the this is the piece that you use to tax the car as a new keeper as well so that is the V5 so let's get into some of the tips and tricks now if you are a Trader it is important to put the vehicle into the trade you can go onto the dvla website it will ask you are you a Trader and if you are a Trader even if you're a Trader at home and you're just buying the odd car every now and then you've bought it from someone in the public ideally you do want to be putting it into trade if you transfer that vehicle into trade it is going to stop the previous person's tax so they're not going to have any issues with that it's going to be taken out of their name so they're no longer going to get any of the kind of speeding offenses or anything that may come up with it the dvla aren't going to chase you for lack of insurance and lack of tax because they're going to say well it's in the trade so a Trader is dealing with it if you transfer it into your own name and buy it as a regular person you're going to add an owner to the vehicle the dvla will be straight on we're sending out automated messages saying your vehicle needs to be taxed if you haven't insured it specifically and perhaps you're running on trade Insurance you can get fined and I've had it before that I get fined for the vehicle not being insured because if it's in your name even if it's off the road there's this new rule thing where it has to be insured if you haven't declared it swn Etc like that so that's another thing you will have to then declare it saor if it's registered in your name if you're going to park it off the road so if you can it's much easier to put it into trade and save yourself a lot of headaches if you do that and then you trade on the car you need to keep a paper trail of who you've passed on to because you don't register it into trade again if you sell it to another Trader if a tra then comes along and buys that car from you they say thank you very much they'll give you the 500 quid and you would give them the whole V5 as the trader you keep hold of the the V5 so you need to know who it is that's taking it ideally you want to take a photoc copy of a driving license or a picture make a note at the date ideally if you're doing things right you'll have a kind of sales invoice which will have that information on anyway because then if they go off and get speeding finds or whatever as the person who took it into the trade the letters are going to come to you first now if that does happen Don't Panic all you need to do is kind of go online and you just pass it along the line basically and you say I sold it to this person on this date at this time and you send that back to the police or the insurer or whoever and then they have that information then and then they go on to chase it but it is important that you keep those details and rather than just taking a business name off someone make sure you get a copy of their ID that matches the person that's in front of you because otherwise you could get stuck having to pay speeding fines and things like that if you are going to get in the game of doing distance selling of cars then not only do you need to let the customer know that they have a 14-day kind of cooling off period should they decide that the car is not for them it can come back to you you need to be aware of that as well and my tip would be that if you are doing that and that customer is going to have that 14-day kind of comeback period don't send off don't register the V5 until that period has passed if you do you will register it into their name and then they come back to you you know two weeks later let's say 13 days later um a week after they've had their new V5 document and say I would like to return this vehicle to you you have to take it back but now the vehicle's got an extra owner on it and that's always going to show on the log book in any history report which might affect the value and it might put some people off especially if someone's just taking ownership of it so that would be eyes I mean a lot of people would do this regardless all the time we used to do it we used to hang on to them and just do them at the end of every week transferring the v5s so that should something come back especially when you're dealing in cheaper cars it can be quite pertinent to do that because the customer might say oh I just realized that it's this and it's that and uh I just want to return it and if you're going to return it then yeah you don't want to add an owner on and then wait for the V5 to come back again now before we get into the rest of these tips and tricks I have got another tip for you if you are a car dealer if you're looking for good quality stock you're struggling you're struggling to find the right stuff with the right descriptions and the right location then you need to check out today's video sponsor which is carwow you've probably heard of Carwell with Matt Watson and all the drag races they do they've got almost 9 million subscribers on YouTube and they make some really fun videos but what you might not have known is that they run daily car dealer only auctions for cars in your local area and Nationwide these are for dealers only so you're not competing against the public trying to buy this stuff they need to be pre-qualified there's a link in the description so you can get signed up and then you get access to hundreds of cars that are listed daily you can check them out based on all the pictures they've got there's loads of information you get a hbi report for free as well and on top of that unlike conventional auctions you can go and check this car out before you hand over the money if you're having it delivered you can still check the car over before you agree to pay for it if it's not what you're expecting you are not obliged to pay and that's such a massive difference for car dealers the last thing we want is to buy a car on good faith and it turned out to be not what we are expecting so that is the absolute beauty of using the car Wild dealer auctions check everything over make sure you're happy with it make sure you know you can make a profit before you hand over your money and you've got absolutely tons of options to look through as well so if you are a car dealer and you are looking to buy stock that is my number one tip of the day check out car Wild dealer auctions the next one to keep an eye on is the V5 issue date so if we look at rv5 again it will tell us up here the date that the customer has acquired that vehicle on so this one was acquired it says the 2nd of November 2021 so if someone is trying to sell you a car and they're saying oh I've had it for two years and whatever another thing you need to check you can look at that and say okay so they've had it since 2021 that's fine but if you go to to the inside page this row of um numbers here look across to the right so on the right hand side there's a six-digit Code this one's 03 11121 so that is the issue date that's when this V5 was issued so it all ties up with what they're saying in this case that it was uh acquired it on the second and the V5 was issued on the third perfect probably they filled out online the day after what will happen sometimes you need to keep an eye on on is that it will say that it was done in 2021 if you look at the issue date it was just last week and you think well you've had the car for two years why have you only just done that don't get me wrong sometimes there are genuinely innocent reasons for that if they've lost the V5 then they might have needed to get another one but in that case you need to see in this section here where it says about the owners it should say duplicate document now why is that important to keep an eye on well if someone's just got this in the trade and maybe they've just realized that it's got problems with it and they want to try and sell it to you or part exchange it to you just to get out of it and get into another car they might back date the V5 so if they hadn't transferred it into their names already what they can do is use that new keeper slip use the details put it in and say input that I bought this two years ago and the dvla so long as that wasn't before a previous registration will say okay we'll accept that and you're just registering it late so it will come through on the front of the document and it would look like they've had it for two years but in reality they haven't so that is one you need to look out for next one's an important one and it is to do with the v5c number the document reference number now on occasions people won't have the V5 or perhaps they've just got the new keeper slip or perhaps they haven't got the new keeper slip they ripped it off for some strange reason and lost it or what happens quite often is that people don't know what they're doing with a V5 document and they end up with the wrong pieces now an important piece of information to remember is that say you've only got the V5 document here with your V5 document reference number and you haven't got the new keeper slip which is all important because if you're trying to sell a car that is what the new person needs to tax it with you can't tax it with the documents reference number unless it's in your name so if you're buying a car you need the V5 C2 which is the new keeper slip to do that what happens if you don't have that well you can go to the Post Office and you can explain you can fill out a v62 form or just simply remember that the V5 C2 the new keeper slip is just one digigit difference from the document reference number itself so in this example it's 1307 and our newe keeper slip is 41307 the point to remember is the numbers are exactly the same except for that first digit and conveniently it doesn't matter what digit you put in so if you've got the documents reference number and you want to tax that vehicle but you don't have the full newe keeper slip number just add a number in front doesn't matter what number it is 0 1 9 it does not matter it will allow you to tax it and that has got me out of a lot of sticky situations where you've got a customer wants to come pick up a car and it turns out you don't have the V5 C2 new keeper supplement slip uh but you do have the document so you can get everything done perfect but they need to tax it with a new keeper slip just add a digit in front the next piece of advice I've got is when it comes to retaining a number plate from a car so say a car comes into you with a private registration on it and you want to take it off for one of two reasons either you want that registration to sell it perhaps or keep it yourself or because you just think the car would look better of it original number plate this is something that I do a lot the only issue with retaining an number plate from a car that you've bought into stock is that you will have put it into trade and the retention document for the registration that you want to keep will get sent to the address that is on the V5 so that mean the old owner so if you have this car transferred into trade you want to keep the number plate and you fill out the form it's going to go to the Old owner so they're going to be the beneficiary of your 80 retention fee there's two options here well it depends on how much you've given forethought on this if you've taken into trade already and then you decide I want to take that registration off there really is no other way around than registering it to yourself personally adding an owner to the vehicle and then you can pay your attention fee once it arrives and take it off if you are having a car part exchange to you and you know that you're going to take that number plate off because you think it looks better or you want to keep the number plate there is one trick to get around this when you go to fill out this document rather than transferring it into the trade rather than transferring it into your own name do a address change so you can change the address uh say the customer is Mr Joe blogs of one Downing Street then you can just change the address to your address at your work residence your home residence whatever and you will then get a new V5 issued for free in the customer's name but in your address that means then that if you go online and you retain that registration it's going to come to your address it will be in the customer's name but that doesn't matter that's not important what's important is it's going to come to you and then once it has and you've got the new V5 with the original registration on you can then transfer it into trade this is something that takes a bit of thth thought and sometimes you might need to explain it to the customer that that is what you're going to do a lot of customers don't care about their private registration especially if they getting a shiny new car but that is the only way really of getting around it without adding an owner to the vehicle what about taxing your car if you haven't got a V5 document all together the person has completely lost it what you're going to need to do is fill out a v62 form which is basically an application for a new log book uh you'll fill that out you need to know the VIN number the registration the newe keeper details it will ask you for the old keeper details but if you don't know for example you've got it through the trade just leave it off and it's not going to be an issue you can take that into the post office and it does depend on the circumstances sometimes it will depend whether it's previously in the trade or whether it's not in the trade I think it needs to have to not be in the trade now I could be wrong this is a caveat I don't remember exactly our local post office isn't always the most helpful when it comes to this but nine times out of 10 the computer will say yes that's fine we'll take your payment for your tax will send off your v62 document which they're going to need a check or a postal order for £25 for and you can tax the car immediately that way if that's not working it says because it's in the trade and it won't work just head on to Facebook and look for Vehicle Tax people there are people out there who for a fee normally about 50 Quid can tax a car for you they've probably got some kind of backdoor access to the post office system it's not an ideal situation but when you're stuck in a customer's desperate for a car things like that it can be helpful my next tip is for direct debit on taxing a car say you haven't got your trade plates or you have and someone else in the business is using them you need to drive a car it's not taxed well you can use the newe keeper supplement and tax a car online using a direct debit type setup where it's going to take a payment from you every month the good news about this is while this probably is a bit naughty and I'm not telling you to do it I'm just saying there there's a loophole here that works you can tax a vehicle using your direct debit information it will activate the tax immediately but it won't actually take a payment from you until the next month it will tell you exactly when you look at it what date that payment is going to come out so if you need to run a car around for a few days for whatever reason you can tax it that way and you'll be instantly covered but if you cancel your direct debit approval before that date they can't take the money now don't get me wrong if you do this enough times the dvla will just block your card trust me I've got a couple of blocked cards but it is a very handy thing to know if you're for example on the holiday somewhere and someone offers you a car and it happens to be right where you are you haven't bought your trade plates you don't really want to tax the car properly or transfer it into your name that's that's a cheeky little get around to get you home legally now the last one on my list is if you have an issue where you are trying to retain an unplay from a car that you've taken in a par exchange say you've done the address change it's come to you and you're trying to retain it but you're getting a message on the screen on the DVA website that's that says this registration cannot be retained online you need to do it via post and whatever which is obviously not ideal because it takes forever to retain the number plate this way and you want to be turning that stock really quickly and getting it sold the only advice I can give you is that tends to be the case when the vehicle hasn't been taxed recently use the uh direct debit tax system I've just explained to you tax the vehicle leave it a couple of days usually leave it over a weekend come back and try it again and nine times out of 10 I guarantee it will allow you to then retain that number plate and then you can just cancel your direct debit it doesn't happen all that often but when it does someone Park exchanges a car and you can't do it it can really slow things up and I've had it before where customers have decided they're going to park exchange their old car but it's been off the road Saed but they want to keep their registration before they hand it to you and they want to get this done in advance it might not let you do it online if you have to wait six weeks to do it by the post it's really going to slow things up and probably kill the deal just tax it tax it for a few days and I guarantee it will allow you to then do it you know sometime between a few days and a week it's taken me in the past it's not always a guarantee how long it's going to take but that is definitely a good option to try so there we have it there are all of my top tips for DBL tax things along those lines that I can think of um I'm sure there are others and I'm sure other Traders and members of the public alike will chime in and give us some other kind of options and

speaker and here's all to you now thank you thank you very much for that wonderful introduction it's a pleasure to to be here virtually be here uh and uh it's a shame i couldn't be there in person but but hopefully we i will we will rectify that uh soon and i look forward to to visiting and chatting with you uh in person in the near future so today um uh i i will indeed be talking about uh this this new potential the the the gold mine the physics gold mine that will be uh the square kilometer array and i'll get to why uh that will be and what we can can learn uh in a minute and the goal of my talk is mostly to get people excited get people interested in in what will really be a game-changing uh revolution uh in this field so before oops before uh um i get to that i'll just do a brief introduction about what do i mean the first billion years what does that accomplish so um i'm sure you're all familiar with the cmb the cmb is currently the gold standard for for one of the gold standards for cosmology uh providing us with a measurement of the acoustic that the baryonic fluctuations uh at ratchets of 1100 or so uh which which allows us to do precision cosmology one of the tools that allows us to do purchasing cosmology following uh the the last scattering surface following recombination though these baryons were allowed to to uh collapse under under gravity they uh feel the potential wells that are that have been established by uh dark matter and so they condense into uh ever increasing uh uh structure of increasing densities and eventually and this is the period called the dark ages the the the seeds of structure that have formed uh as these variants are now allowed to uh feel the influence of gravity um eventually the end result of this process is the formation of the first stars the first galaxy the first stellar black holes and we call this pier the cosmic dawn when the first star is lit up their light spread out throughout the universe in various wavelengths as i'll touch uh later on um and and eventually they they established cosmic radiation field they this light in influence not only uh the intergalactic medium where most of the the matter resides but also um through to feedback processes influenced subsequent star formation inside uh inside halos in galaxies and this period of cosmic dawn culminated in the last major phase change of our universe which is the epicopyanization where virtually every uh baryon in the universe was was ionized and that we think ends at a righteous of about uh five to six um and finally after that we have the more the the buildup of more and more complex structures more and more massive structures uh clusters of galaxies and and the zoo of galaxies that we see today and so the first billion years is this is this epoch here that encompasses the dark ages uh cause mcdonald immunization it's mostly the cosmic dawn and realization i thought i'll show in a minute so you can say well okay what do we know uh what's the current status about uh our knowledge for the first billion years what do we know about the igem and the galaxies that formed during this time well we know we know we have some indications of this and this is really driven by observational progress in the past decade or so and we're now kind of getting a handle on the timing of the process of realization and we are this is a plot of the the mean neutral fraction as a function of redshift from one of the latest compendium of constraints and you can see the kind of the midpoint of randomization we estimate to be roughly seven seven point five depending on what probes we use and this is this is still um this is a very uh recent as i said uh development although we still don't really understand the uh the very beginning stages and we're starting to get a handle on the the end stages but we have a we have a an overall picture you can ask the analogous thing about what we know about the heating history right gas has an ionization state but it'll you have a temperature and this is a similar plot showing the mean temperature that while temperature and mean density as a function of redshift so after um recombination the the baryons were thermally coupled to the cmb through it will come from scattering but then as the universe expanded the baryons are allowed to cool adiabatically become colder than cmd and then when the first stars form actually the first x-ray binary stars form their x-rays have long been prepared and they're able to permeate the ign and i'll get to that also in a minute uh and these x-rays can relatively efficiently heat the the diffuse igm bringing the temperatures up to maybe uh a hundred thousand kelvin we don't know um before the bulk of of reunionization happens don't take these red chips too seriously this is just an old preliminary estimate and and realization then uh heats the gas to something like 10 to the four kelvin um keeping it there in photoionization equilibrium uh eventually quasars uh heat uh doubly ionized helium which deposits another another uh a boost in energy um but the important thing to note is that that we have only observations at relatively low redshifts uh the red these the observations that come primarily from the lyman alpha force are really only telling us about the late universe the the post-wretched five universe um the the early earlier evolution will be uh pro by 21 centimeter and i'll get to that in a minute so we have these kind of rough ideas uh of of mean evolutions of of the properties of the gas in the universe but we really have scratched the surface of this really that this is this uh these periods the first design years are actually the the bulk of our light home the bulk of our zero universe and this is a figure adopted for from uh professor chang um and and it's actually drawn to scale so that so that the surface areas that you see in these rings correspond to the relative volumes that are probed in these redshift annulments and so you can see that the period in the first 10 years above red five or so is the bulk of our universe and we and can we really are those two lines that i showed really the most that we can get uh from the most of our universe um you know we are we're well it's like we're living in this house and we've seen you know the the wallpaper on the walls we see our immediate surroundings but then we don't see the majority of the house it's in darkness like are we comfortable with that i i would say no i think that we this is an untapped uh frontier and it's inevitable because again it's the bulk of our universe so it contains many very uh fundamental questions that we have about the birth of the first galaxies um how do they impact each other their surroundings the dominant feedback mechanisms that i said uh also dark matter properties dark matter provides essentially the scaffolding for the galaxies to grow and so and so you know we can we can learn about the properties of dark matter uh from how galaxies evolve uh and also in certain models as they'll show in a minute uh that you know dark matter can also deposit heat directly into the eye gem through through annihilation um we can look at other cosmological probes how does the hubble parameter for example evolve during these epochs we can study the properties of the first stars the first flag holds many many many more questions and so as i said we're starting to scratch the surface um and then the first the simplest thing you can do if you look at the these first galaxies that fit in this in this first billion years is to do a census and so you use the hubble code to to study the fields and then you do you count galaxies essentially at different redshifts and so after you do that you get these uv luminosity functions which are basically just a histogram of how many galaxies per volume you find in a given uh magnitude bin so in in towards the the the right uh our painter galaxy so the deeper you go the more you integrate the fainter light the more galaxies you find and if you do just a simple estimate about where do you think this trend will stop you realize that we're really seeing just the proverbial tip of the iceberg here right so we expect the galaxies to sit at least uh down to the atomic hydrogen cooling threshold uh which should be somewhere around here even before that molecular cooling can cool gas and we'll have a lot of reform stars and even fainter objects uh down here and so we're missing the vast majority of galaxies and and we will also you know jwc is a powerful instrument but but it won't help us get through the bulk of the population of galaxies it will just improve our current limits by something like one to two or four uh magnitudes um and so it's really you know the analogous thing you can think of is if you were if you were an alien and you were trying to learn about humans and the only thing you could see are the wealthiest uh humans in existence and so you could you could make some inferences you could you could you know postulate that okay humans have a head on average they have you know two arms two legs uh but you would obviously miss a lot of the a lot of the uh interesting nuances you might uh incorrectly presume that that most humans are are rich white uh uh males you you would miss races you miss genders you would miss professions businessmen uh you would miss you would miss uh a lot of a lot of the details about the bulk of the population from this biased sample that you're getting and so really you know studying these faint galaxies um we need another way to do it so the route towards progress well we can continue learning about the the physics of the brightest galaxies of jupiter's galaxy that we see using jwst using armor of the telescopes we can continue working on probes of ionization kind of narrowing down our uncertainties systematic to get the mean realization history you know this curve of the neutral fraction versus friendship but really the transformation the transformative revolution will come from mapping this volume mapping this first billion years using the 21 centimeter signal and from these maps we can indirectly infer uh uh the bulk properties of the of the whole galaxy population um okay so what is this 21 centimeter line briefly uh the 21 centimeter line is the spin flip transition of neutral hydrogen uh the in the ground space the aligned triplet spin is is uh has a higher energy than the anti-line spin and and this energy difference corresponds to a photon of wavelength 21 centimeters and so it was discovered uh theoretically in 1944 and has been used subsequently to map beautiful kinematics of neutral gas in our galaxy in nearby galaxies as you see here but before realization our entire universe was filled with neutral hydrogen and so how to apply this cosmologically you you basically use the cmd as as a backlight and you you measure the difference in intensities of the cmd and the h1 and this is in the rest frame 21 centimeter so it's in the rayleigh gene tail so so you typically write this in terms of a brightness temperature because the brightness temperature is proportional to the intensity and so the cmb protons travel through the universe and they interact with the neutral gas and as a result we see this we have this this we hope to see something like this then this will be the unveiling of of uh essentially the the our our hubble volume um and if you look closely take a you know take a a slice through this uh sphere uh and you zoom in this is what it looks like so on on the vertical axis you can think of that as a as an angular scale on the on the sky and for reference this is the moon so this is something like um eight and a half degrees on the sky and on the horizontal axis i'm showing right just going from right to 5.5 to 24. and so you can you can the thing that's striking is the beautiful dynamic range of this image um and the wealth of structures that are encoded in this so as we go from earlier times we have these dark ages that i mentioned but then as the first stars form you can see how the patterns are where that where these galaxies are located drive these patterns in in the 21 centimeter field even at very early times and as i mentioned before here the gas is adiabatically cool and so this like it's seen in absorption against the cmb um and then when the x-rays heat the gas as i mentioned before the the signal changes from absorption to emission during this uh transition here um which is commonly called the epoch of x-ray heating or the epoch of heating and then finally the epoch organization removes the signal as the universe becomes binary and so this this this wealth this dynamic range is really uh if you expand out the signal you can see it's driven by the fact that the signal depends on various turns it depends on the neutral fraction it depends on the matter density it depends on the temperature of the gas so it has both astrophysical and cosmological terms making it a very physics physics-rich probe so how do we use this information to learn about these unseen galaxies well taking the neutral fraction for example this allows us to learn about the ionizing properties the uv ionizing properties of the galaxy and if you look for uh at a very simple example of two extremes where you have a model um these are from early realization uh numerical simulations we have a model that has an abundant population of paint galaxies and here the ionized regions are white and the neutral regions are are black versus just rare bright galaxies basically the galaxies that we see you can see the ionization morphology is very different here there are many many more high-energy sources and so you have a lot more smaller regions as the h2 regions grow around these uh more abundant uh more uniformly distributed galaxy population so even at the same stage in realization the the the morphology is different um but there's also a temperature term so you can do the same thing using the temperature term and so you can look at different heating mechanisms and probe the x-ray properties that are responsible for heating the gas and so if you do very simple estimates you you realize that x-ray binaries are likely the dominant heating source at high rates of low red chips we we know that agn dominates the x-ray background but as you go to higher and higher edges something around at just five or six depending on your estimate agn become increasingly rare and the dominant population that sets the extra background are x-ray binary stars these are stars that that grow up in binaries and and one of them is a compact object and it then accretes uh a gas from a massive companion and emits an x-rays and so if you take two scds that you can imagine we don't really know the lcds very well of these objects and if the std is hard so that it has more um harder higher energy photons these photons have a longer magnifique path and so you can see that they would heat the igm more uniformly this is a temperature distribution if you assume a hard std versus a soft suv you can see that the patterns here in the hard case are more washed out these differences are detectable which means that we should be able to also learn about the the shape of the std of these first galaxies indirectly because we're not going to be able to see them um so there's a lot of wealth that that is encoded in this about the first galaxies the the patterns and the timing of this this map tells us about these properties but it's also a hugely data rich probe and that's something that really us in the field we haven't gotten comfortable with yet we're not used to thinking about that we're we're used to being data starved in c1 one quasar and you get really really excited but this is going to be a 3d signal with many orders of magnitude more independent modes than than for example in the cmb which is currently the gold standard in cosmology um so so it's going to really uh drive a big data revolution in the field um and so how do you take advantage of this later big data revolution well the obvious thing if you can do it is to is the forward model uh uh forward model the the signal and then compare your models to the observation and so this is something that i've spent the last 10 years working towards and the the goal is to have something like this this is a mock observation again it's a it's just a 2d slice through this kind of cosmic light cone with red shift increasing along this direction um it's it's it's a mock observation so it's not we don't have a real observation yet but eventually we'll have a map and then you need to characterize this observation using some summary statistic and that's a whole other genre of my research because there's no obvious choice of summary statistic because it's a non-gaussian path so if it were gaussian like the cmv you can do a power spectrum analysis and not lose information this is this is somewhat non-gaussian so there might be better summary statistics but still the power spectrum is still an obvious choice and then you can take the cycle cut it into chunks you compute in each chunk a power spectrum and that's what's shown here these are increasing redshifts the power spectrum computed from the mach observation and then we put estimate some noise this is a thousand hours noise from in this case it was from the hera telescope um and then we excise modes also at large scales that we expect are dominated by by foregrounds from our galaxy so from this mock observation you can also combine it with other observations because this is not the only piece of the puzzle we also have the uv luminosity functions that i mentioned at the beginning this is actual data that we have in hand we also have estimates of the optical depth uh to the cmb or um and so that that tells us about the integral constraint of ionization you combine these pieces to do inference and so by and forward model and so what that means is you sample the parameters uh that govern the astrophysics of your galaxies that cover physical cosmology as well as any residual systematic and you create realizations of the data and for each realization you compare with the observation and so i have a movie here that shows this that starts from some some initial sampling this uses the emt uh sampler and you can see just a random sample from from the the current uh change shown here with the corresponding power spectrum here um and the and the uh life uh luminosity functions shown here and so you can see as as this mcmc evolves you can see uh the the posterior is starting to converge uh it's bringing up the samples to converge on the observation you can see visually in this case the seed was chosen so visually you can compare against the mock but in practice we use different cosmological seeds when we do this and you can see that at the end we recover um our galaxy parameters here um to very high precision percent level precision so this is this is what we need to what we need to actually do this that i mentioned this is the goal well there are several pieces for this obviously you need sufficient simulations uh by efficient you mean you need to call it uh hundreds of thousands of times however many you need for for for your estimate to converge to converge uh and there needs to be parameterized in some way so that you have a parametric uh model for the cosmology uh galaxy physics and systematics obviously you need observations because you need to compare your theories to the observations and you need a quantitative weighing way of comparing that and there's really only one uh quantitative way which is the basic one let's say rigorous way of doing that which is the basis so let me go through these these kind of steps uh so first we need to simulate the universe the problem with simulating the first billion years is that there's a huge range of scales involved so ultimately we want to learn about the first stars the first black holes from cosmic radiation fields and these are in homogeneous on scales of 100 megaparsec 10 cents 100 megaparsecs but ultimately they're driven by by small-scale structure clumps and and stars and galaxies so we need a sub-grid approach uh and and we do this by uh cutting off the scales such that on linear and quasi-linear scales we can simulate things more or less directly the density field and velocity fields are simulated with a higher order perturbation theory and then we have uh prescriptions for quick radiation field simulation and then the galaxy uh the galaxies and the clumps are simulated using a subgrid a so this the parametrize that we use is is called 20 centimeter fast um it's it's something that i started developing uh when i was a postdoc um but the using these kind of approximate prescriptions were able to address dramatically cut the computational cost of large-scale simulations um at the at the expense of a modest loss in accuracy so here on the left you see uh the amok 21 centimeter image from a high dynamic plus radio transfer simulation and here you see the same using the same initial conditions from 21 centimeters fast and you can see on large scales and we quantify this in the paper uh something like above one megaparsec the the the two are are converged the power spectra for example are converged to within a 20 or so but the dramatic thing is that here you have uh uh something like eight orders of magnitude drop in computational cost in these two things which means that you can use this for one of these you can you can run ten to the eight of these and actually map out the parameter space of uncertainties it's been widely used uh around the world it's being used to interpret data from all 21 centimeter experiments it's a public code so if you're interested you can go on github and find it the reason why simulating 21 centimeter signal itself is especially challenging compared to other probes is precisely because it is a physics-rich probe it encodes a lot of physics and so you start with the density and the the matter field which contains uh galaxies and here i show these lycone slices but they're inverted so that the redshift increases along this direction you can see structures forming the cosmic rays forming as time increases and these galaxies that sit in this matter field they drive radiation backgrounds and one needs to follow various radiation backgrounds ionizing to organization x-rays for heating lima warner lyman alpha and these radiation backgrounds then impact the subsequent formation of galaxies through feedback mechanisms um and in in ionizing protons for example to keep the gas making it more difficult for gas to cool and collapse onto onto dark matter halos but also the photons in the line of warner band the soft ub band disassociate molecular hydrogen which which removes the cooling mechanism for the very first galaxy that makes it more difficult for the various the first galaxies to form stars um and so you can see then at the end the the these radiation backgrounds really leads to uh the 21 centimeter signal that looks like what i've showed before but but you can see from this that that at different times of uh a different epoch cosmic epochs the structures here are driven by different fields here which which is really the the power of this approach you can see the fluctuations right around by the ionization fields here here you can see they're driven by by the the first the very first galaxies uh the densities and so you can see the the reason why this is such as a physics rich probably so the dynamic range is so large um just to illustrate this uh even further this is a movie from this evolution of 2010 structure progress which is an ultra large scale public realization a 1.5 gigaparsec uh in size and and just to put that in context uh this roughly corresponds to the size of the uh state-of-the-art uh hydrodynamic plus rt simulation um so we can we're able to reach much much larger scale and here i show the movie uh evolving uh from redshift 35 you can see the global 21 centimeter signal here you can see that the power spectrum in the above panel as structures form as they heat the ibm and as they then ionize the ign removing the signal and so then you can ask well okay you talk about these galaxies in a kind of abstract way uh what galaxy parametrization are using well i think there's two things to keep in mind uh uh there is no singular galaxy parametrization that that that is the right one um however uh you're you're aided by a couple of things one is that this is a bayesian framework so you can you can change your galaxy parameterization you want look at like something like the basic evidence to see which is which is uh favored by the data but then the other thing is that the observable signal is actually sourced on relatively large scales so if i look at one of these like cones with red shifts increasing in this direction and i look at the slice through this this is is now simulating the resolution of a single frequency slice so this is uh on sky size using noise as well as as foreground excursions so this is kind of a pessimistic uh model but you can still see that the fluctuations that remain there are fluctuations they constrain a lot of our physics but there you lose the small scale structure you lose structure on on scales below 10 megapixels or so and what this means is that that each of these fluctuations is sourced by uh tens maybe even hundreds of galaxies which means that you can use scaling relations if you don't have to model individual galaxies you can use ensemble averages whenever you ensemble average something that has a characteristic mean you you have to get using a central limit there you have to get log normal distributions and so that's shown here this is this is a a very flexible parametrization very simple parameterization of uh astrophysics where we take a power law for the stellar to halo mass relations and in fact that is what observations see that that there is a power law uh that has a free parameter which is the the amplitude and the scaling we also take a characteristic star formation time scale which scales with the dynamical time of the galaxies we allow the ionizing escape fraction to again be a power law with a halo mass and then on small scales we account for the fact that galaxies have difficulty in cooling uh and forming stars below certain halo mass with a characteristic turnover and you can see that these uh parameters some of them are already constrained by current observations like venocity functions you you can't have expelled halo mass relations that are too steep but then others like the state fraction uh are only poorly constrained well at least using this data and and the small the faint and turnover is not constrained at all um and these kind of scaling relations are just a natural product as i said of of population averaging and they you can these kind of models can characterize very different simulations they all are reasonably characterized by this this is from a hydrodynamical simulation using very different parameters for star formation also semi-analytic models they result in these these power law relations some observations using abundance matching they seem to follow these trends we also need to characterize the x-ray properties uh and this is we do this using the the actual luminosity the star formation rate relation and this is the expected fcd from a theoretical model and so we have parameters that characterize the luminosity and the shape of this std and uh and the self-absorption by the galaxy um and so you can see as again some of these parameters are already constrained uh others not so much especially for example x-ray parameters as you as whoops the current observations don't constrain the x-ray parameters at all i don't know why this is not moving yeah whatever but the 21 centimeter signal shown above will that's the impact stronger so these are the simulations um what are the observations i showed a a uh an example using a mock observation um but actually we we do have some observations currently in hand unfortunately we only have upper limits this is the compendium of the currently available upper limits uh from from first generation telescopes like mwa lopar and hera and you can see that the limits this is the expected signal this is the power spectrum as a function of redshift you can see the upper limits are still several orders of magnitude away from where we think the signal lies but we are now starting to get as time progresses these become lower and lower as we understand the systematics better um and in particular i'm going to talk about these two lowest limits that we got recently in pink and they were obtained by this sk precursor instrument called the hydrogen apocalyptic array uh it is it is built in south africa this is an actual satellite image it's not a not a mock it's fully built it's rolled out since it's it's doing observations using a sub sample of antennas as as more and more uh antennas are able to be better characterized and understood uh so it's progressing well and so last year the the collaboration uh we published a a a first uh results using about ten percent of the antennas and using just uh 18 night of observations using four fields shown here the drift scan telescope so the sky falls above you and you measure and these are the observations in red uh from the different bands then one is ratchet corresponds to red shift of ten then two corresponds to register eight and again the power spectrum here is relatively large but these observations are consistent uh uh with the thermal noise estimate which is shown here in black except for the very large scales where it's still dominated by foregrounds and systematics and so these these we definitely uh these are not consistent with thermal nodes so again there's still two orders of magnitude above this respective signal but can you still can you can you say something with this so that's the question so you need you need you can you can in fact rule out you potentially can't rule out very extreme models that that are uh that have very large power and so what kind of models are the first things that you can allow well you can look at this equation that i wrote here for the brightness temperature that's the signal um and you can go through the terms this is the ionization fraction so this can vary from zero to one uh so it doesn't help us with its pre-factor of 30 very much um this is the density field uh again on large scales you manage the density uh maybe the tens of percent two to something like two uh you don't get much much range here you don't get much of a help here but then if you look at this temperature term so here we have the cmb temperature uh in the numerator and denominator we have the gas temperature the spin temperature of the gas which is coupled to the gas temperature and so when the gas is hotter than the cmb you can see that this term saturates to one but when the gas is colder than the c and b during this adiabatic expansion for example at redshift 10 that cmb would be roughly 30 and the adiabatic limit would be something like 2 kelvin so you can get a factor of 15 or so boost from this term if the gas is cold and so these kind of models now you're talking because you have a factor of 15 to help you with this uh with the amplitude of this signal so the first models to be ruled out are have to be cold this is what these are the models that can get up to those large upper limits so you require that the gas is much much cooler than the cmb and you also need to have because you're not measuring the global signal you're measuring spatial fluctuation you also need to have facial fluctuations driven by something so you could have spatial fluctuations in any other term like ionization fraction as we saw ionization is apache process so you you of course have fluctuations in that you can have fluctuations just purely by the matter power spectrum and you could potentially have fluctuation in temperature itself but this this is unrealistic because the x-rays generally have long energy faster so so you can't get sharp uh temperature fluctuations you need a very unrealistically soft suv and this is an example of what these things look like for example this is a slicer simulation where the gas is cold but you have these black patches around galaxies that have been ionized versus where the gas is still cold and there's no realization and so the in this case instead of these black patches you have over densities in the matter field and so basically this is just a probe of the matter power spectrum with this additional boost in the in the in the mean from the from the uh the coldness of the ign so in both of these cases the the upper limits are exceeded in the power spectrum but as i started off this uh talk we do know already something about the eor so so this is this is one of those things like if the eor is ongoing then and then we can constrain the temperature of the igm but we don't have to have that if because we actually have other additional constraints in the eor we know at retrospect where the object operations are the eors are going so there are some some some fluctuations there so that means that we can actually you know not constrain a conditional statement but actually constrain the temperature of the igm using incarceration so before everybody gets too excited it's important to realize that these are these are still upper limits as i said a two red shift and and a couple orders of magnitude above where we expect the signal to lie so instead of what i showed before it's it's just kind of these upper limits roughly here so we're not going to get uh very strong constraints um but we do get some constraints and this is this is the posterior from this uh from our hera analysis paper and then purple is what we currently know using uh current observations of human oscar functions in ur history and in purple is if we add in now these hera upper limbs and you can see that it doesn't help much except for this one parameter and this indeed is the x-ray luminosity per unit star formation right this this is the extra luminosity that is doing the heating and if we don't include hera we have a flat prior because we don't have any observations that constrain the temperature of the igm but now when we include these preliminary observations we have this posterior which is actually disfavoring current observations of of local x-ray binary luminosity would sit here at something like one and a half sigma and the reason is that we know that local x-ray binaries actually uh have a strong dependence on the metallicity of their environment low metallicity extra binaries have trouble uh driving winds and so they have increased mass accretion and so they're brighter per unit star formation rate and this is a couple of models for how this should involve in this in this low metallicity environment where we expect the first galaxies to lie so this is consistent actually with what theoretical predictions are that the first galaxies are more x-ray luminous um than than than local uh galaxy i think i'm running a little bit low on time so maybe i'll i'll speed up um so you can ask for what can you learn using full data using like a proper detection 1000 hours while you get all sorts of beautiful constraints uh all parameters are roughly constrained to percent level uh a precision we we detect a faint population indirectly that we don't detect using current luminosity function observations and the er history is is almost a giveaway like this if we constrain it to better than one percent precision or roughly of one percent decision so we get a lot of stuff um and the other thing is like this you know i've demonstrated this with this flexible galaxy model but but it's important to note that because this is fully bayesian you can change the galaxy model and we demonstrated this in its paper uh using a more complex galaxy model and use the data to to use the array the evidence ratios to uh see if the data prefers a more sophisticated model and there's so much data upcoming in this that you can have a strong preference even though by eye you can you know find very strong degeneracies but data will allow us to actually infer the galaxy model so briefly uh it's been a few minutes the final minute talking about um physical cosmology i've so far been talking about galaxies but it's also rich probably physical cosmology so the simplest thing you can think of well there's this matter term equation so maybe we can find a cosmic epoch or a piece of of the sky where we can probe the matter power spectrum directly that might be challenging to do a clean signal so the next thing that you can do which you should do is just co-vary the cosmological parameters in the inference um and and you get something like this uh triangle plot where you can covariate both and if you marginalize out the astrophysics in this paper we showed that that you could improve constraints on something like sigma 8 from the current planck prior the current planck results which are used here the prior you can get more exotic heating mechanisms this is this is the paper uh computing how much we expect uh dark matter annihilations to heat the intergalactic medium and this is a different form of heating than the galaxies because the dark matter is distributed uh almost uniformly compared to the galaxy the bias of one and so the heating is deposited in a very uniform way so it's so it's not uh degenerate with the in the fluctuations is not degenerate with galaxy heating um and that's something we're continuing also with collaborators uh laura and others um with by coupling 21 centimeter fast with dark history and looking at different um looking at how how different heating histories can evolve depending on the different animation products uh another thing which which i think is really exciting is to use uh you can use potentially these these punctuations as a standard ruler so if i run this movie that i showed before and i stopped it at this point and you look at the power spectrum you start you you you see some wiggles here right and you can say well okay maybe those are our cosmic variants but the actual the cosmic variant sets in over here these are hugely large these are one point five gigapixel simulations and these are a hundred megapixels so what is that well those are actually acoustic oscillations that we see in the signal so we see uh acoustic oscillations just come from from [Music] over densities in the quantum fluctuations uh that then in the the photon baryon fluid uh as as it as it expands uh it then ends up uh stopping uh at recombination and that freezes in a certain scale the sound horizon scale at recombination and this scale this characteristic scale is imprinted in the galaxy formation because it results in a velocity difference between the variants which have been dragged along in this fluid and the dark matter which has been collapsing the whole while and you can this has been noted by uh in a paper a decade ago but simulations have studied this in more detail and if you look at regions in the universe that have a low velocity offset between the baryons and dark matter compared to ones that have a high velocity offset galaxies form much more difficultly in regions that have a high velocity offset because the gas just kind of streams past and doesn't decrease in the dark matter halo and so we incorporate this in our simulations and you can see this characteristics on horizon scale appearing in the uh in the maps this is a map without velocity and it's a little well so you can see these scales and that's actually what these fluctuations are this is these are these are uh so-called acoustic oscillations in the velocity of field that are easily measurable which would allow us to set a cosmic ruler in this regime that's so far untapped uh during the the cosmic dawn and and kind of tie in estimates of how each week should evolve over cosmic time which right now as you know there's attention from estimates from the cmb and from local estimates all right so i will conclude here i apologize for running a little bit over time um so the to conclude the you know we we have this uh daisy and fully bayesian for modeling framework which allows us to on the fly uh forward model 3d light homes of various fields and and and we can use this toolkit to learn about the first galaxies using upcoming 21 centimeter observations which will provide us with these fluctuations these 3d maps that we can compare to our models and if we look at what we expect from from ska which is starting to be built i should i should mention that sk has started its construction and so you know we expect to get first data within a few years we will be able to constrain galaxy properties from the the patterns in these maps from the timing to percent level precision but even preliminary data that these two orders of magnitude above the expected signal uh allows us to to increase what we currently know uh it allows us to constrain the heating history during the cosmic dawn and it actually tells us that as we expect but now we have actual data the the first galaxies are more extra luminous than local ones and this is expected from the fact that they they live in low metallicity environment um it also was a probable physical cosmology it's a bayesian framework again so you can pull various cosmological physical parameters you could you know vary parameters to change the matter transfer function you know people have have done this uh there's a lot of a lot of studies in this area that can be done you can also include exotic heating processes from uh dark matter annulations and decay but you can also find the standard ruler uh in in these these measurements from acoustic oscillations that imprint a velocity difference in the in the dark matter and the barium um and again analysis is fully based in so you can you can change your model you can change your model for for galaxies you can change your model for dark matter uh do the inference and compare the evidences and you can actually then use the data to learn about the physics which is going to be a powerful way of of thinking about the first billion years and that's it so thank you very much thank you very much andre for this very nice talk and now the talk is open for questions questions uh will be managed by teresa so there is a now you are called amphitrone co-host here you should see the right set hand on your screen yes or actually let me see here i i'm just going to make sure i can see all the participants i think so okay i i thank you so much andre this was uh quite an interesting talk and i'm going to take the opportunity because i'm talking to to ask you two questions myself if you don't mind so i i just a comment there is a lot of h1 expertise here but mainly perhaps on the nearby universe i find it personally super interesting and exciting to see how versatile each one observations are and how we can use it to constrain the parameters of the cosmic dawn and uh also very very exciting to hear about here which is an sk precursor that isn't always so much in the limelight as for instance uh meerkat and so on so one of the things i thought was really cool is when you're mentioning oh you just need to simulate the universe and it sounds like quite a task and i remember in my phd studies i was modeling the h1 contents of of the galaxies and i felt super cool when i was doing this so my my first question was just really what kind of data power do you need to to simulate the universe to model the cosmic dawn h1 content uh and you mentioned briefly it was 21 centimeter fast and i saw a slide on network of stations but but i missed that a little bit so yeah so i mean the the the idea is that is that we have these kind of approximate approximations that we make and so for example the matter field you can do quickly using 12 pt because again these are skills you that your observer skills on relatively large scales you're not observed directly galaxies you observe fluctuations on 10 megapixel skills or you know maybe a few to 10 megapixel skills and above um so so 12 pt is perfectly fine uh but then it's the radiation fields that end up being uh more challenging and you can't afford to do radiator transfer instead what you can do is you can do uh again averaging over over spherical shells in kind of the light cone and you can say for each gas element uh you can count the you know the emissivity in certain shells surrounding that cache element and you can actually store that because these are just sfts they're quick to evaluate you can store that in memory there's a lot of like you know efficiency hacks uh that allow us to compute this in a reasonably quick way and so you know at the end you can do one of these realizations roughly in one hour if you do like a good resolution simulation on on like a single core which is which is not bad but it does mean that to do like them to the you know the the the inferences that i've shown we're done with something like a hundred thousand or ten thousand well twenty thousand live points uh hundred thousand samples something like this you do need a cluster and you need a couple weeks on a cluster to do it but you know still you have you know uh a hundred thousand then samples from from a posterior of our universe which which then is great you can post-process that to do machine learning we're doing that actively and various other things okay that's awesome that's that's impressive could i ask you to maybe unshare your screen it will be easier to see everyone ah sorry here we go and see raised hands so uh i do have another question but i actually always ask every co-chair of the ska working group and it's the as gay is kind of famous for the ability of commensal use of the data and maybe i should have praying you warned you about this because people are usually more into your own use of the data but do you know anything about how uh the upcoming data that we would use for this research might be used in other areas as well um well yeah i mean the the the raw data is is well not the raw data but but some version of the process data is going to be shared so the stuff that i was showing comes from uh will come from sk low sk is already used by other other groups like pulsars cradles life and others and so there are some commonalities in how the data is processed so some of the data products will be will be publicly available and and other research groups uh can use it um from our end we we tend to make everything public so so the codes are public the you know the the posteriors are public um you know people are welcome to check you know the research that we did with using their own tools uh so there is there is kind of a philosophy of making things public as much as possible okay thank you do we have any other questions here i'm not sure if i'm actually seeing everyone no other questions i think you're gonna have to to yell them out if you have one because i my screen seems weird and if not i'll there is reiner right oh yes hi i have a question which is kind of really on a side topic here since i'm not into 21 centimeters etc but but i missed again the ex could you would you kindly repeat the explanation why metal poor x-ray binaries are more luminous than metal rich x-ray binaries and they yeah so that's that's that's an empirical observed observation i can show the slide that shows this um it's empirically observed in local star-forming galaxies let me find the slide to show the data um but it's theoretically also expected if you from people that do uh modeling of of the first i cannot find this they do the theoretical model is models of x-ray binaries and the reason is because you you have inefficient wings when you go to low metallicity environments you have uh uh a less mass loss because i can't find it okay but you get you get the less mass loss because the metals help couple the radiation the radiation pressure right you refer to muscle it's not from the companion it's it's from the companion so the companion object ends up with low metallicity it ends up preserving its outer envelope because it doesn't have the metals to to drive winds because the metals are required for efficient coupling of the radiation pressure that pushes out uh the winds so the companion ends up being more massive it has more of its atmosphere that then gets dumped onto the binary that is true for massive x-ray binaries also for low mass yeah massive experiments for massive extra binaries the low massive ones take a long time for their companions to evolve and they they dig in later i have a another plot of that but now i get it thanks a lot yeah okay anyone else if not i'd like to say a big big big thank you again for for uh giving this presentation and um found it very illuminating and i'll hand the word over to renee again thank you thank you teresa thank you everybody thank you angry and thank you everybody see you tomorrow we have another talk by jose luis gomez and he will talk about the new image of the black thank hole thank you very much and take care bye thank you | IAA - Comunicación | UC7kH2yaPwSJbYJ3VPIrLOaA | 2022-05-26 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata

zpTUmgWT1uE | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpTUmgWT1uE | ScienceBlogs | Wikipedia audio article | science blogs is an invitation-only blog network and virtual community that operated initially for a little less than 12 years from 2006 to 2017 it was created by seed Media Group to enhance public understanding of science each blog had its own theme speciality and authors and was not subject to editorial control authors included active scientists working in industry universities and medical schools as well as college professors physicians professional writers graduate students and postdocs on the 24th of January 2015 19 of the blogs had seen posting in the past month 11 of these had been on science blogs since 2006 science blogs shut down at the end of October 2017 in late August 2018 the website's front page displayed a notice suggesting it was about to become active once again topic history science blogs was launched in January 2006 with 15 blogs on the network for the launch blogs seed invited some of the best-known independent science bloggers and allowed them to blog about whichever subjects they wished revenue was generated through advertisements sold to companies who wish to attract bright curious consumers who buy products like automobiles books cell phones computers liquor music and Watchers as a result of the free reign given to bloggers and the incentive to increase traffic bloggers on the network often discussed hot topics such as politics and religion in addition to science these topics frequently incited heated arguments in the comment threads and bloggers on the network sometimes got into arguments with each other over a series of posts science blogs and seed received some notable awards at the end of their first year of activity including the 2006 Utne independent press award for best science technology coverage being granted to seed in large part due to the success of science blogs additionally two blogs on the network received weblog awards faring Guler for best science blog and respectful insolence for best medical health issues blog the creators of science blogs expanded their collection of hosted blogs in three major waves supplemented by individual editions along the way some of the most trafficked blogs included faring gula respectful insolence good math bad math deltoid cognitive daily living the scientific life scientists interrupted and on becoming a domestic and laboratory goddess according to Technorati as of the seventh of July 2007 science blogs had an authority of nine thousand five hundred and eighty-one and its number of inbound links ranks it 37th among blogs worldwide as of the 14th of March 2008 Quantcast charts it as having over 1.1 million monthly unique visitors 65% of whom were from the United States as of February 2009 science blogs hosted 75 blogs dedicated to various fields of research in April 2011 science blogs was taken over by National Geographic while cede would still maintain ownership of the site National Geographic would acquire editorial control and responsibility for advertising sales on the site science blogs launched a German language edition of the site science blogs de in 2008 in partnership with Hubert burden media as of the seventh of December 2010 the site hosted 35 blogs science blogs Brazil debuted in March 2009 with 23 Portuguese language blogs topic pepsi gates in June 2010 science blogs started a blog which was sponsored by PepsiCo and was to be written by their employees this led to backlash by many of the bloggers on science blogs who considered this to be an unethical mix of advertising and journalism and the PepsiCo blog was withdrawn from science blogs this affair was informally named Pepsi gate by the middle of July approximately a quarter of the bloggers had left science blogs subsequently some bloggers such as PZ Myers of faring gula announced they were going on strike as part of a general feeling that the people running seed had failed to respond to concerns surrounding the incident seed media responded by killing off food frontiers the PepsiCo sponsored blog but that didn't stop the defections according to PZ Myers the ship is sinking a writer at the New York Times magazine reviewed the incident and commented science blogs has become Fox News for the religion baiting peak oil crowd some other science blogging networks were launched including scientific dot org science seeker dot org and one hosted by the Guardian in early 2015 however eleven of the network's 2006 founding generation blogs were still active including Myers's topic demise on the 14th of October 2017 astrophysics blogger stents egos and publicly revealed that science blogs was due to be shut down and David Gorski author of the respectful insolence blog under his pseudonym Iraq stated that science blogs had barely existed as an entity for a few years astrophysics blogger Ethan Siegel reported on the 22nd of October 2017 that science blogs had informed bloggers it no longer had the funds to keep the site operational and so they would be shutting down topic revival in late August 2018 a note appeared on the homepage which said that science blogs was now part of the science 2.0 family and that plans were in place to make the site active once again topic Awards 2012 IQ award topic content science blogs consisted of 10 channels or categories of blog entries each blog author decided what channel his or her individual post belongs in and each post was indexed accordingly on the main page the categories

osms3OOrgYE | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osms3OOrgYE | This Is NOT What Asians Wanted To Hear! (Asian Hate Discussion) | are you ready you're against a certain group whoa whoa whoa that's a crazy it's a new carry a knife then you're being racist and I'm like whoa whoa whoa whoa I am Asian hell no we are not on that train if people don't feel safe I don't think anybody can make a change I'm Asian but I'm also American and I do want to be validated by white people so I'm just gonna throw the entire Asian Community under the bus dude that's a good plan man I like it welcome everybody to the Hot Pot boys David Andrew here and NY mag has just dropped a viral article about Asian hate but a lot of Asians on the internet kind of hate it yeah man I'm talking about Reddit Instagram Twitter etc etc man people do not like this article and everything from the misguided cover art to just the article itself to just the copywriting people are like yo yo yo NY mag you guys are supposed to be liberal white people why does it feel like you guys are attacking Asians for feeling scared for their own safety this is crazy yeah guys uh this was a really pointless article but we are going to summarize it we'll tell you how we feel and then we'll also talk about why we just keep getting these articles and why you can even get a team of five or six educated Asian Americans and they'll still put out something that is just not effective and not anything that the community actually wants to hear so if you're excited about this video please hit that like button and let's get into it all right David starting off with the micro let's give it a quick summary and also talk about what are the points of controversy here okay so NY mag is a New York based magazine that is like kind of for Liberal white people right they basically found a couple Asian female authors the main ones called Esther Wang and they wanted her to write about Asian hate okay so she's kind of like detailing her history about like being from the whole Boba liberal kind of intersectional Asian where they're just like trying to build alliances and then she kind of gets embedded in the community and then she I guess she really kind of ends up at a 50 50 point where she's like yeah I realized that I thought Asians were just being anti-black but actually they're just trying to be safe and not get attacked and actually it's just more about crime and safety and now I'm torn between my old AOC Nancy Pelosi self and my new Asian having empathy for these poor Asians living in poor inner city self and here I'm just at the Middle Point thank you for your Revelation Esther it was incredibly mind-blowing riveting and then not only that Andrew it just came with this crazy cover art I think really the thing that pissed people off was the cover art if somebody just wrote an article that said you know I had my old like hyper left self and then I realized the reality on the ground was way more complicated and now I feel torn I don't think people would really get mad look at this cover art Andrew what is going on here I I look at the cover art guys first of all I don't even know what's going on this lady has a whole bunch of different pepper sprays knives all these alarms and then she's getting her six vaccine booster shot in her arm at the same time she's wearing a mask inside her home and then she has the feng shui mirror in the background you know to let everybody know that she is 20 years old she 80 years old is this lady like Frida Kahlo mixed with Rick and Morty mixed with like uh uh Helga from Hey Arnold like why does this thing look so weird yeah it's just weird cover art and then that combined with the negative wording of crime obsessed desperate and Confused those are all negative words these guys are writers they understand the English language better than even you know we do so I'm saying they know what they were doing and I'm not saying that Esther Wang picked this headline maybe it was the editor whoever else it was but there was like six educated Asian people involved in this and it was just pointless and stupid and that's why people are mad because they're just like okay look at these people with platforms and they give us this crap what is this yo that was an insane click bait way like if it was a white copyright editor and he just wanted to make it go viral he was like you know any publicity is good publicity I I literally think NY mag may need to redact or issue an apology for this next week like that's the level that I think it's on depending on like how you know the Asian Community is not very happy Andrew you know us we always try to stay balanced we try to consider multiple angles because that's just how life is is there any point to the fact that Asians might be crime obsessed all right so let's break this down confused I don't think they're confused I think Asians want safety desperate I do think at a time Asians were desperate for some answers they were desperate for safety as they should be you know a lot of the people who are getting targeted were Asian women and elderly um also Asian men as well I mean all types of Asians but mostly Asian women um which is funny because somebody left a comment and was like Hey considering asian females are usually the target of these attacks a lot they sure do write articles that don't really sympathize with the Asian women victims so I don't know it's like a weird imbalance and then I would say crime obsessed yes I do have some friends that are staying on the citizen app a little bit more often but you know I mean it's just when you feel unsafe of course you're going to be a little bit more obsessed with uh uh and keeping in tune with the crimes you know the weird thing is it's like I feel like for Esther Wang this is probably like the most militant article she ever wrote because you know coming from the world she comes from where they're just like all about all these Progressive hyper liberal left-wing things she probably was like oh my gosh I'm feeling like Malcolm X like when she was her finger was probably like shaking when she submitted this article she was like it's 50 50 from where I'm coming from he thinks she was like oh revolution's coming guys this is gonna be a paradigm shift are you ready yeah I mean it kind of goes to show you like how whitewashed you can be and how much of these like hyper liberal left perspectives you have and then it's almost like you're a tourist in your own Community being like yeah I do have some opinions that are almost like dissimilar to a poor immigrants I'm shocked that I feel this Within Myself I am Asian oh I mean moving on to the mid Andrew there is such a big disconnect between like the writers that have access to a liberal white publication like NY mag and just the experiences of a everyday Enclave Asian or somebody who grew up in the Asian Community or anybody who even grew up in a low-income suburb let alone the inner city I do not think these Writers come from the inner city I do not think they've ever lived a day in their life yeah maybe they went and got had a gentrified cafe or a coffee or maybe try to Mom and Pop restaurant in a hood but literally they have no idea what it's like on a day-to-day basis being an Asian person living in a high risk exposure environment I mean I think a lot of people out there are wondering right like why do these writers get a platform like who is this freelance writer who also writes about fishing and a bunch of other stuff by the way she has written about uh being Asian in other articles but at the end of the day like when you're a writer right you probably went to school you were possibly an English major right you have good command of the English language oh you've been around so many white people of your English just like liberal white you know and you're out there writing a whole bunch of Articles and then you're like oh my gosh like I can write an article about being Asian and now I have to do a bunch of research to figure out what it even means and how Asian people are feeling on the ground so that's why it's always disconnected because these writers aren't coming from the same world and because there's a discrepancy between the people who have this skill to write and the platform and the desire to be in this journalism world and then the people who have the heart and the voice and the people with the heart and the voice that are on the ground don't have the skills let's be honest a lot of people that grow up in Chinatown they don't become writers yeah I mean even me and you Andrew we are not writers on the tier like word for word verbatim the Esther wangers you know I'm not that good at putting words out on a page I feel more comfortable talking and you know I'll tell you this man listen if you're really from a high risk exposure environment I'm not saying I'm from like the hood of the hood we came from a pretty blue-collar part of Seattle um we went to a Chinese Church in South King County I'll tell you this there is some of the craziest stories that happen to everybody at our church everybody at our church tried to keep their head down try to be real docile Meek I mean you could even say weak to be honest and if we're talking about people getting beat up bullied assaulted somebody at our church I don't even like to get into it I don't even like to tell this story got murdered when we were like 16. this is not something that is new like Asian hate or or violence against Chinese people or or Asian newly arrived immigrants has been going on for a hundred years our dad got robbed in Chicago the first year he arrived in America like multiple times nobody was trying to politicize it back then and I'll tell you this right now here is the harsh truth Andrew both the right and the left that are both run by white people try to use Asian pain for their own political gain I do not truly think that either of these groups deep deep deep down layers layers layers below actually care that Asians are getting attacked they are more looking at things that happen to minorities and stimulus that happen to minorities and how did you jitsuite to benefit their own platforms yeah I mean exactly how I feel sometimes is that like white people feel guilt for something that you know their ancestors did or that America did to a certain group and then now they're just being like hey Asians hey you guys tend to do well in this country so you guys feel this guilt too come on hop on our train and and help us make everybody feel better it's kind of doing good feeling guilt guys this is the guilt trip it might be at the expense of some of you guys but uh you guys are on our team right and I'm like dude like oh no wait hell no hell no any real age will tell you hell no Esther Wang won't tell you that the women involved with this article or whoever else was involved in the article will tell you will not tell you that hell no we are not on that train all right everybody we're gonna get into the macro and why does it feel like these articles represent how behind Asians are in media man long story short I said it before it's the same thing with Hollywood it's the same thing with journalism we're still unfortunately in our Sammy Davis Jr phase you know Sammy Davis Jr was like kind of like yeah I'm fighting for the blacks but kind of not I'm me and that's kind of like still the representation we have both in Hollywood and in journalism it's people that are like yeah like I said this is probably the most militant thing Esther Wang ever wrote in her life she's probably like oh my gosh I'm feeling like a Asian Thug you know like relative to her spectrum of experience and what she's been through and the feeling she felt who she's been around so it's like basically it's this crazy problem like you said Andrew not only do you have not a lot of Asians pursuing media Andrew so there's very few Asians at a medium or high level in media second of all the ones that are there are like a little bit of like the white Asians or the whitewashed Asians or the ones that are like willing to do whatever it takes to advance their career and get a cover story and kind of be like opportunistic I'm not really questioning their heart maybe their heart is in the right place but at the end of the day it's still like coming from a very narrow set of experiences and it's opportunistic so now it's just like so many layers I just don't know how to fix it along with the fact that a lot of people who have the skill right and the access to the publication um their heart is not what the community necessarily I don't think it's against the community but I think they're just writing from their own perspective and I think it's very selfish but I also just think that a lot of people get like safety and solidarity confused I think in a way where it feels like that they're mutually exclusive like you can't be a little tough on crime but also have solidarity with other I mean who likes crime I mean I talk to my friends around the area who are non-asian all the time in their life they need a freaking Latino like Dominican friends in New York City and they're like yo I hate crime I hate criminals yeah they hate criminals too so I'm just like hey guys like can we just handle this crime thing like for me that's being like hyper reductive of an incredibly complex and nuanced issue from like people on the left being like yeah if you're tough on crime you're against a certain group whoa whoa whoa whoa who said that that's a crazy uh like reach on your guys's part how they kind of made it sound was like hey if you buy all the pepper spray and pepper gel guns and and the Kubla tons and you carry a knife then you're being racist and I'm like whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa guys like I think there's like a there's either a middle point or they're not mutually exclusive it's really not that simple guys we can think of a better solution so that's to me in the macro what people have to understand is that those things are not mutually exclusive yeah that's like stupid to draw that conclusion for them to feel that way and possibly even racist for them to call self-defense racist long story short man Andrew I think NY mag probably is going to be like oh my goodness I did not expect people to take this cover this way you know but maybe as long as it's uh only the Asians care who cares because you know my fan base is non-asian people basically man I'm tired of these writers I'm tired of these disconnected kind of out of touch writers yeah well intentioned as they me maybe like I'm not judging them as people in their heart of course I think all these people meant well but I'm just tired of these writers getting all these chances to write these things that are not helpful like who did they write this article for I feel like they wrote it for other people just like them who are going through this experience and that's fine because I do think it's a trend that a lot of people are waking up a little bit and just finding that hey man like I think the solution is actually a lot more complicated I thought before and Asians aren't wrong for wanting to just feel safe at all costs listen no I think that a lot of people are coming to this understanding but I just hate that these are the only articles we get yeah well now it shows out to the world and then everybody's like reading it non-asians are like wow Asians yeah you sure are confused yeah because they're like oh yeah why do you feel so torn about your community getting attacked that's kind of weird I would never feel that way if our community was getting attacked that same way I mean literally early look at it Andrew on a scale of like negative 2.5 to 0 to positive 2.5 in terms of like how pro-asian this article was it probably was like a zero or a half a point but like you know for the writer that's like insane like we said that that's her at her most Pro Asian she can possibly be but obviously there's no articles at the one 1.5 or 2.5 let alone I mean listen guys I get it people grow up in America they get co-opted by the left or the right and you know people want to balance their inner AOC and Nancy Pelosi with their inner Sun Yat-sen or their inner AZN person or whatever I don't know Andrew like we said this article totally off base totally a swing for a home run and a absolute Miss what I will say just to be played my own Devil's Advocate and give Esther Wang and her constituency like some points that I agree with I wish it wasn't this way and I do think the Asian American Community the chinese-american community has to Bear some responsibility for this because if we've been getting attacked for a hundred years 50 years 30 years 40 years very badly in this country I wish we could do something different right I wish there was a hundred hour required learning course that every immigrant no matter what class they were had to take and you know it would teach you about taxes and safety and race relations and how to start a business and how to properly raise your kids but at the end of the day there is no 100 hour course for new immigrants and you can't force anybody to take it because this is America and you know all we can do at this point is be practical be pragmatic you know be idealistic without Illusions that's what JFK said be like Lee Kuan Yew because at the end of the day Andrew no one solution is going to make everybody happy you just gotta care about yours safety right now that is the Paramount number one concern a without safety I don't understand how anybody can feel comfortable doing anything I don't even understand how Society can run or that people can feel like there is the possibility of change without safety of course we understand that these things are really complex whether it's better funded Public Schools or or better policing or whatever it is listen I get it but at the end of the day if people don't feel safe I don't think anybody can make a change and I don't think anybody can do anything at that point so um anyways guys let us know in the comments down below what you think about this whole thing about like how that we always get these disconnected writers or people who are well intentioned but just are not hitting the mark what can we do about it and and can we really have an actual conversation about safety and solidarity where it's like they're not mutually exclusive you can't you can have both at the same time instead of just having one or the other because how does that even make sense you know what it kind of reminds me of Andrew when Jeremy Lin started dominating the NBA 10 years ago right for that brief moment and they ESPN had zero Asians on staff so then they were just freaking out and they got the one self-hating Hapa Asian that literally just went on screen and just goes yeah you know I always hated being an Asian I never felt accepted by him and I reject my Asian side and I remember everybody at ESPN was like whoa that is not the quote we wanted but literally that's what we ended up with because we pulled the one Asian guy from the mail room that was half asian at the end of the day we all have the right to criticize the voices on the platform so if you disagree with them let them know and that's what we're doing in this video right here but yeah maybe some more of the real Asians should try to strive to get those platforms too to be honest that's the self-responsibility part all right everybody let us know in the comments down below

3tCRlidMRX8 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tCRlidMRX8 | The Necessity of the Gospel | we will be talking about the image of god all right here we are um we're in my final series our journey together is what i've entitled it and i want to reflect over for the past 25 years some stories some scriptures and then four especially important things that have marked our journey together you know among the many tv and movie shows that folks binged on during the covid lockdown alone was a very popular one it's a survival show but each contestant must survive alone all by themself without creating any alliances and without any drama except that which nature or their own head provides here's how it works the contestants each select 10 items of survival gear from a from an approved list of 40. and they're also issued a kit of standard equipment some clothing first aid and emergency supplies and a camera so that they can document their daily experiences and emotions now attempting to live in the wild and these are wild places i mean this isn't over at darby park or or you know this is you know one of them was like 250 miles south of the arctic circle in canada one was patagonia these are not simple places to live and exist and so they attempt to live in the wild as long as possible they have to find food they must create their own shelters they endure deep isolation isolation some physical deprivation psychological stress and the person who lasts the longest wins a half million or a million dollars all right there's been eight seasons of alone any guesses how long somebody actually made it alone of all of the seasons give me give me what do you think pardon uh you have you know say it loud 100 days 45 yes how long 25 it was a hundred days most of them are in the 50 to 70 range depends upon how bad the bears are i saw one one guy quit in 48 hours and i looked at the reason scared of bears he only lasted two nights one guy lasted a hundred days so besides the mental fortitude and and the previous like experience one of the key factors in all of these alone survivals survivors was the gear that they chose so think about it what are some of the most important things to pack as you get ready for a journey or a vacation or a backpacking trip those things are pretty important if you're going to go down to cancun or you're going to go to fort myers beach for a summer vacation of two weeks you better pack what some sunscreen right that's going to be an essential item you're gonna want to pack shorts not a parka all right so where you're going is gonna you're gonna need to pick out some uh important things and if you could only pack four what would they be life takes us all on a journey one that takes us many places and it and it teaches us many things and the lessons we learn on the journey make us who we are so my final series here is your pastor has two things in mind there are four irreducible minimum and most important things that have helped me not just survive but thrive in our 25 years together and then number two i want you to take these four survival things on your journey through life the first one is the necessity of the gospel i remember after the first year of public worship we had spent seven months prior in a core uh a launch team building up uh folks recruiting them uh we had done some teaching we figured out who we're going to be what we're going to do who's going to do it and then we launched at middle school south i had an office above a garage in the house we first rented and i remember sitting there we finished year one and i admittedly was spent i'm like i have given a year and seven months everything i have had this is not something i've ever done before and i'm i don't know what to do next i've given i'm i'm i'm tapped out i'm dry and so i remember kicking my feet up on my office desk and i started thinking all right who are some people that i admire that that resonate with me that have had a sustainable ministry more than a year and seven months and i thought oh i like scotty smith pastorate and church planner at christ community church down in nashville he's done a good job i like what he says i like this guy named skip ryan in dallas and then there was this up-and-coming guy named tim keller i was getting his white papers that turned into all his books i have some of the original manuscripts and i was like i like what he says he kind of resonates with me he's in a different context than i am but he and skip and scotty they talk about the gospel a lot and i started thinking well the gospel is one of those common denominators but but where did they get this from where because they're all kind of talking the same thing and so i i started doing some research and i found out they all three went to winstminster theological seminary together at the same time and it wasn't the seminary they were all personally discipled by this squeaky voiced little man named jack miller and i was like i know jack miller he came to rts orlando when i was a seminary student and he spoke in chapel and i actually went and had dinner with he and his wife rosemary at mike professor mike glotta's house and they scare the bejesus out of me because they talk about the gospel and grace all the time and i later studied under jack and rosemary and so did tammy and about 18 small groups we've been through here at walnut creek they turned my world upside down actually right side up and set the course for my ministry and my marriage and my parenting and yes for this long time christian the gospel became the epicenter of my life from which everything radiates so what is this gospel i most of us especially those who grew up in a southern baptist more fundamentalists you need the gospel to get saved and then you better get to work after that right jesus forgives your sins and now you better sanctify yourself and get start get working and i learned about the gospel and found that yes that is part of that's true but it's much deeper than that so you've heard some of this before i'm adding new things so cheer up walnut creek you are special and we're designed for a unique person the gospel begins in creation even with the ooze that god spoke and beautiful things came into existence in the book of beginnings in genesis in the very first chapter we discover something amazing about human beings then god said let us make man in our image after our likeness let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heaven and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth so god created man in his own image in the image of god he created him my junior high orchestra teacher jeff boswell had in his office a poster of this disheveled snotty-nosed dirty boy little child standing around chat trash and the caption read underneath god don't make junk that left a huge impression on me as i realized that human beings in spite of their appearance their condition their choices they weren't junk or accidents or mistakes they were created by god and god don't make junk see my friends our self-image is not really about what we think about ourselves which is usually rooted in what we believe others think about us rather our self-image is rooted in how god created us and god said you are very good so we have inherent dignity and worth and importance just by being a human and why is that because god has created us with his imprint now we mostly try to find our significance from what work our accomplishments our gpa the bulldogs go georgia the buckeyes whomever you uh root for you try to find we try to find our significance in trophies and possessions our appearance our clothing even from people whom we know family and friends but the imago day image of god means that apart from those things before those things we already have significance and worth that's right you are special and uniquely designed with a purpose because you were created in the image of god so what does it mean to be made in the image of something two things reflection and representation reflection a painted portrait of who you are reflects who you are and others can for centuries see that reflective image and know what you look like it may not be a painting it might be a picture you can see a picture of sarah and like years down the road i can say this is what sarah kong looked like this picture represents sarah here's what god says i've created human beings to reflect my glory reflect my goodness reflect my character and if you reflect my character properly to the world then you will represent me accurately and all life will flourish we face god we look at god so that we can accurately reflect him like a mirror and then we show that glory to the world and what do we reflect theologians talk about i'm going to give you a couple big words here you ready theologians talk about the communicable and the incommunicable attributes of god incommunicable attributes these are things that you can't possess you can't reflect all right things like omnipresence and omnipotence all power and omniscience all-knowing and and being infinite and self-sufficient we can't do those things but we can reflect the communicable attributes you know like think of the cdc right communicable diseases those are the ones you can catch right here's what god has created in you in his image here's what you've caught you've caught things like mercy and love and kindness and justice and knowledge and truth and so being created in god's image means we already possess the innate ability to reflect godly communicable attributes like wisdom and courage and love and reason and forgiveness and when we do that we represent others to god we're not god we're a reflection of god we're a representation of him we're not him so to reflect those attractive qualities that we were created by god with means what we've got to face god that we must look at him and reflect who he is because if we look in the mirror and only try to reflect what we believe about ourselves then we're seriously limited or deluded right we end up being like stuart smalley do you remember him from saturday night live a character in a skit called daily affirmations with stuart smalley and at the end of his skit he would look into the mirror with a little bit of self-worship and he would say i'm good enough i'm smart enough and doggone it people like me stuart smalley is saying i don't care what god thinks about me i don't care what others think about me at least i think i'm good enough and smart enough and okay some people like me my friends if we don't turn and look at god if you don't face his love then we will have to turn to something or someone to find our beauty and our significance and our sense of worth someone or something that's going to to say that we're okay so you're gonna have to turn to to family or job or approval or professional success you're gonna have to get your glory and significance from somewhere because we were made to do that and if you give any thing more importance than god your creator then you've broken or tarnished the image of god in yourself and subsequently that will lead to you trampling on the image of god and others listen to what jesus says about the inherent significance and worth and beauty that we possess as human beings look at the birds in the air they do not sow or weep or store away in barns yet your heavenly father feeds them are you not much more valuable than they see how the flowers of the field grow do they not labor or spin yet i tell you that not even solomon at all his splendor was dressed like one of these if that is how god closed the grass of the field which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire will he not much more clothe you jesus is arguing from a lesser to a greater he's saying if god cares for the ducks and the sparrows and the hummingbirds then he cares for you eat more so because you were created bearing his image look how beautiful the flowers are if god can manufacture and maintain such beauty in a plant then how much more beautiful are you who've been imprinted with his image okay you're saying all right i feel better about myself now thank you yes you were created uniquely and beautifully but you're worse than you think as beautiful and as unique as we were created something broke the world is not as it should be and people are certainly not reflecting god's glory and if you're not convinced of that reality just look at our current political ugliness look at the horrible abuses that humans commit against each other or just go to a dorm on a college campus if you want to see the depravity of humankind what got us into this mess so one word albeit not very popular but this word is sin i like how francis spufford sounds like a good british guy doesn't it he is and he just doesn't write a a nice little title like we americans do he goes all full british on us and he wrote this book called unapologetic why despite everything christianity can still make surprising emotional sense i love francis buffer's definition of sin and i will make it g rated he defines sin this way the human propensity to mess things up here's what he says it's our active inclination to break stuff stuff here including moods promises relationships we care about our own well-being and others people's well-being as well as material objects whose high gloss positively seems to invite a big fat scratch in the end almost everyone recognizes this as one of the truths about themselves you have indeed messed things up of course you have you're human and that's where we live it's our normal experience friends i want to let you know it's been my comfort and delight to discover that due to the security that jesus christ has won for us we need not fear our own propensity to really mess things up and here's why timothy 1 15 says this the saying is trustworthy and deserving of full ex full acceptance in other words if paul uh were here today and he was a betting man he'd say take this one to the bank you're gonna win on this one i guarantee it and here's what he said christ jesus came into this world to save sinners of whom i am the foremost he says that jesus mission his purpose the goal of all his summit substance of why he came left heaven and came to this earth was to give the good people a pat on the back the reason he came was to celebrate all the put together people the reason he came was to form a club of all the people who got their act together and say man isn't it great to have our act together that's not what he did is the opposite he came to do what he came to dwell with the prostitutes and the drunks he came to give good news to those who were deluded by their self-righteousness some people knew they had screwed up some people were so proud that they didn't see how they were screwing up in their pride right pride by its very nature as self-deceptive jack miller would say and they couldn't yeah right ask an opinionated person if they're opinionated and what do they say who me jesus came for the unrighteous as well as the self-righteous he came for sinners people who don't have their act together so the apostle paul is essentially saying cheer up friends i'm a bigger sinner than you think as a matter of fact i'm the chief of sinners and if god has room in his heart for me then he's got more room in your his heart for you let me tell you what this means this means that we no longer have to pretend like we have it all together we no longer have to even fear the extent and the depth of our sin rather and here's why our sin serves us by humbling us and driving us to the cross and so our sin can actually be our servant rather than our master because if we take a good look at it we can say cheer up steve you're worse than you think but you know what jesus is better and more forgiving and loving than i can imagine a few seasons football seasons ago jerome harrison was a six-year nfl veteran was being traded from philadelphia to detroit alliance right and during his exit physical which all nfl players have to go through to make sure that the new team isn't getting damaged goods right so you go through your exit physical the doctors discovered a brain tumor in this nfl veteran that trade saved jerome harrison's life what was utterly discouraging for him right going from a winning team to a perennial losing team became his salvation and friends what can be utterly discouraging in us our sin can serve us by driving us to the cross of christ for forgiveness and for grace and since we're worse than we want to think or admit we can be free to be honest with god and others about our hearts and our motives and our actions and our words we can be free to be honest with our struggles we can be free to receive the honesty of others we can receive criticism without being crushed so friends let's find joy in bringing our sin and our need to christ cheer up friends walnut creek you are special you have been uniquely designed by god and bear his image but cheer up you're worse than you think thirdly cheer up god's grace is much greater than you can imagine first john 3 19-20 says this by this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our hearts before him for whenever our heart condemns us god is greater than our heart and he knows everything what does this mean have you ever done something or said something and after reflection you beat yourself up over it you're like i can't believe i said that you know full face palm you wish you could have just the ground would have swallowed you up right there you were so embarrassed and you you like what was i thinking i can't believe i i said that i don't even consider myself an angry person and you call yourself a christian and you call yourself a pastor condemning itself but here's the good news god's mercy and his grace is greater than our hearts condemnations over the real sins we commit and ephesians 2 proves that and you were dead in your trans progresses or your trust transgressions new word it's an illusion of transgressions and trespasses your transgressors like that you were dead in your trespasses and sins in which you walked but it's an important word in the bible my friend i won't say that god likes butts he cannot lie you might deny but god being rich in mercy because of the great love with which he loved us even while we were dead in our trespasses what did he do he made us alive with christ by grace you have been saved for by grace you have been saved through faith and this is not of your own doing it is the gift of god not the result of work so that no one can boast friends i want to let you know i have found joy knowing that while my sin is ever before me it's not my sin that defines me it's jesus christ who defines me now i mean indeed the the ability to own up to sin is only possible because we know that god loves and saves sinners i mean this means as jack miller was fond of saying grace flows where downhill water will always find its way downhill or down the rafters we have discovered in the nursery okay and in the youth groom water man it's just the gravity keeps pulling down got a couple little spots now water doesn't flow uphill likewise please understand that grace always flows downhill it flows to the humble and the contrite grace does not flow to the proud and put together folks grace goes downhill and so the cross of christ demonstrated god's love and on the cross jesus took the curse of our sin and the judgment to us and he earned for us through his obedience unto death a righteousness from god and on account of the cross and for what jesus has done for us we are forgiven and we're justified and we're adopted as sons and daughters and heirs to eternal life and so we want to become deeply aware of our sin but as we do so we must become more aware of the love and the mercy and the grace of god in other words where sin abounds grace super abounds an old pastor john murray mcshane he said this for every one look at your sin take 10 looks at christ on the cross now confession to you i usually do the opposite i take 10 looks at my sin and then maybe after i'm disgusted with myself and got nowhere to go then i'll as a last resort i'll look at jesus on the cross right flip that script friends take one look at your sin take ten looks at jesus because this means we don't have to stay stuck on our own stupidity right we don't dwell on the shame or the embarrassment of our faults instead we take our sins to god because he is faithful and just and will forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness yes i'm going long but what are you going to do fire me you got all day tomorrow to rest anyway let me tell you a story that happened a few years back i was deeply caught up in the performance of my children a little too caught up their academics their athletics their artistic endeavors just took on too much meaning in my life their morality their spirituality their relationships their attitudes i was basing my happiness on their success and on the other hand my mood and my self-worth tanked when they struggled and i saw this was happening and it wasn't happy it wasn't healthy for for me nor them and so i i i said i got to do something drastic so i took each one of them out to lunch that was not the drastic part all right i did that regularly go on daddy dates the chinese place where we get lo main wasn't too far from the high school i would take them out to school they thought that was cool have lunch together i took each of them out to lunch and while we were eating uh i looked him in the eye and said you know what son daughters i love you with my whole heart but i need to let you know something and i need electro this is for me more than you you haven't done anything wrong your dad just needs to look you in the eye and i need to let you know that my identity is in jesus christ not in your success or failure it's not even in walnut creek's success or failure kids i want to let you know that my identity is rooted squarely in jesus i just gotta let you know that well their response was surprising they barely looked up kept shoveling in lomain and they each had the same response and reply and they said oh yeah dad we knew that but i had forgotten it i had forgotten but god's grace his unmerited undeserved merit was the stream of living water from which i should drink and his grace is always greater than i can imagine so cheer up you're special you're worse than you think god's grace is greater than you can imagine and let's just skip a point and go to skip four and go to five and cheer up on the creek god's grace is perfected in our weakness my theme verse for 25 years comes from second corinthians 12 9-10 it says this my grace is sufficient for you steve for my powers perfected in your weakness got any kleenex here i got him therefore i will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses so that christ probably rests on me and that's why for christ's sake i delight in weaknesses and insults and hardships and persecutions and difficulties for when i am weak then i am strong you know this theme is um it's a paradoxical truth that's really quite liberating and it's this that god uses the weak and humble things of this world to accomplish his amazing purposes we usually think god needs amazing people to do amazing things right and i better be extraordinarily obedient and extremely theologically and biblically literate and an expert for him to do anything from me and god says quite the opposite now go ahead and read your bible but don't be all that because i love to work through people who are humble and don't have it all together matter of fact i do my best work to those people and so the gospel constantly challenges us to resist the pull of our flesh towards self-protection and self-sufficiency and the gospel says it calls us to look away from ourselves and to trust in the power of god the gospel says we abandon the doctrine of solo bootstrappa and we grasp the reality that god intentionally and only works through grace filled humble people and here's the result and here's been my experience the result is a freedom to actually forget about ourselves and to go out and take risks for the gospel trusting that it is not by human ingenuity and ability or eloquence but by god's grace that he moves his kingdom forward every day in year one of walnut creek i would wake up and say my grace is sufficient for you steve for god's power is perfected in your weakness because i didn't think i could play in a church didn't have the stuff in me i thought i could a bit but here i even told you after year one i was done in year two i started quoting verse 10. therefore i will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses now okay let me get a little greek on you the word boast here guess what means trumpet like fanfare like when the ohio state team the band comes down you know carrie bostenbrook's gonna or not kerry but jamie's gonna be doing it next week coming down the tunnel the big fanfare on down through the field and they're gonna lead the team that's what it means i will boast with with trumpet fanfare i will let the whole world know about my weaknesses why so that christ's power can rest on me for when i'm weak i'm strong what do we spend all of our time and our resumes and linkedin and with our job performance reviews with our boss we are telling them how great we are how strong and smart we are and doggone it people like me so here's where i need to preach this text to myself in closing i uh you guys have known me for a long time i'm a strong person god made me strong i am a bit of a strong personality i have strong convictions i have a high pain tolerance i'm clear-headed in a crisis and decisis when action needs to be taken but i get into trouble here's where i get into trouble when i go from strong man relying on god's grace to tough guy anybody relate could be tough woman you girls can armor up pretty good too right tough guy steve doesn't rely on god's grace but i rely on my character traits and my competencies and my knowledge and my experience and tough guy gets closed off to others in a self-protection move that actually alienates other people from me tough guy can get cynical that's been a big one this past year and a half tough guy forgets that god's grace is sufficient and that his weaknesses allows god's strength to boast and bolster me so what's tough guy steve's remedy it's the gospel it's that god came to save a sinner like me it's that he has given me all the righteousness of jesus christ accredited to my account so i don't have to make installments into my good person account i have all the goodness i have through jesus and then i go back to the passage and i say god's grace is sufficient for me for his power is made perfect in weakness my friends that's the gospel that thing that scary thing that jack miller and scottie smith and skip ryan and tim keller have taught that attracted me like a a moth to a flame that i thought might burn me up what i thought was upside down world was actually what right side up world and that's what the gospel does it's the way of seeing things in the world and yourself and others the way god wants you to if we're going to go on a trip on the creek we'd better pack the gospel with us we were to do this all over again or even as i depart and john jonathan is going to take over i have every 100 percent confidence he will keep the gospel the main thing because that's what we've learned together and let's keep doing it let's pray lord we admit that we are horrific sinners that we often trust ourselves more than you and we often throw others under the bus just to justify ourselves for this we openly confess and we confidently approach your throne of grace seeking forgiveness may the gospel the good news not the good advice the good news that jesus came and died for us forgives us grants us eternal life and gives us a credit line of his righteousness for the rest of our breathing days

StltxHJIFqU | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StltxHJIFqU | BLACK ONLY ISRAELITE WOMEN USES BLACKNESS AS A SNARE AND A TRAP | [Music] you'd be the judge of these videos right now let's never just brothers say that we won't speak on [Music] there's one Siri tips Babylonian captivity okay a champion I know you guys ditchin minority final so it's like I know down here and the nation eventually the real [Music] what you saying to me was ashamed ashamed the shoulder to his truck got devoured yeah this man just said then said about all the about - what black people come together they have a problem with it and then I guess had to remember say oh wait a minute I messed up and then he said Latinos and then vinius yeah he had to throw that in because he deviated from the scrim but they find it a threat Latinos and their minions yeah throw that in because he deviated from the script right but at first he's what he said was true he said I come on black people put some together you know gotta be somebody gotta have a problem with it and then he had to remember I gotta say Latinos Native Indians yeah the job he did and he had to remember I gotta say Latinos Native Indians yeah the job peope that and then he said I know see all these black people here but come and tell you know come in is that about it's not about black people because we got these people in our organization what type of man this is that which means either but not all about black people the shooting the Israel is black people he says now all about black him so he said it's not about the truth Israel I want to give all the prizes in the order to yahuwah by Hashem yeah I was shot by Hashem ha ha kadosh and double honesty the Apostles in the elders a great millstone shallow warm to the elect as peace to the elect I want to touch on this video here about his this group these guys over let me say this guy and his woman called called to repentance is the screen channel name the title is Hebrew is realized the 3c doctrine is garbage okay so you know you know just before I get started you know and you see a guy sitting up here with his woman and he can't do nothing without his woman that shows the insecurity within himself that he's not this is this is proof that he was never cut out to be a prophet okay now when you go to the scriptures woman's women were there for examples or to help okay but these this guy here since his woman up on a stoop to help teach whatever truth they're teaching which proves it's garbage in itself what did he need her therefore to teach exactly what he's teaching what is she therefore this is crazy and this is the problem with these low esteemed Israelites who put their strength in a woman okay let's go to proverbs 18 for the scripture says that the and a woman said it okay I guess if I can remember I believe it's proverbs 31 putting out that strip into a woman kingly imel's mother said it which Russia translate to Solomon okay say for him not to put your drift into a woman okay now when you go to proverbs 8 and for unto you o men I call and my voice is to the sons of man okay so I just wanted to touch on that first I have no reason why I don't understand why a woman is there I mean in the world today women have more than equal rights woman have surpassed rights okay so everywhere you go as a woman running businesses and running the show but made it elites I'm not gonna let women do that but they'll do it in our communities to bring us down you know to take our strength and here we got the truth that I was set up by men about a mole solemn you say that on down to men his son and men prophets even the translations by men and somehow these guys got to sit here with their wife or their woman plastered up with paintings on her face with descriptions going to that too okay this is crazy this is crazy but this is what it is now man the second Babylon okay being shown in itself okay the Scriptures talk about the stretch forth next but anyway let's go more to the lesson these guys this is why you have to these guys have to do away with the New Testament this is a strength clearly why they have to do away with the New Testament because they're saying that all Israelites are going to be black and we're fighting against these doctrines okay so let's go into the the the first five books of which we call the Book of Moses okay let's go to the Deuteronomy 28 in 64 which is the book of the Most High okay it says and the Lord shall scatter thee among all people from one end of the earth even into the other and thou shalt serve other gods which neither thou nor thy fathers have known even wood and stone so this is proven that when a man is black or his darkest Shaquille O'Neal lay with a white woman okay his children would not clearly be as dark as him okay and if they should grow up a nation late with a white woman as a young man hey lace with a white woman clearly that child is gonna look very white look at Blake Griffin look at his son his son because his father was so-called black his mother was so-called white as far as I can tell anyway not sure okay father was so-called white I mean his mother was so-called white he looks like a real light-skinned person in which they will call mam xor's or whatever and I went into a video on that dad that's not even what it's talking about but uh which they would call a bastard child okay which technically a dark-skinned person can be a mamzer okay if you want to call it that but then he has sex with a white woman and now that baby looks like blond hair blue eyes blonde hair okay days even so-called black children with with blue eyes a recessive gene okay now unless this is why they got to cut out the New Testament and it kind of gotta take out your Hamish eye out of the system you know all right let's look at uh this let's let's go to here revelation 7 and 9 after this I beheld and lo a great multitude which no man could number of all nations and Kindred's and peoples and tongue people and tongues stood before the throne so what is this saying all nations and Kindred's and people and tongues see the problem is when you go into these other doctrines then you got to change it to make it fit the doctrine that you're in you got to constantly keep changing and flipping the doctrines around and that's what you see with this guy okay and this is you know and another thing when it comes to these women these black empowerment women okay they're using that black empowerment tradition to trap you men okay what did Solomon say let's go and see what Solomon said okay before you guys that the trustees black only Israelite women to because they're the ones pushing this doctrine and Jake is getting trapped okay Jake is getting snippet and trapped okay a lot of you guys are being neutered let's go to Ecclesiastes 7 and 26 it says and I find more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and nets and her hands is bands whosoever please of yahuwah shall escape from her but the sinner shall be taken by her see if this woman was so-called for a virtuous woman repenting and be trying to become a virtuous woman let me say that the work being a virtuous woman when you look up that word virtuous it means a moral excellence okay she would know to let her husband leave okay and it ain't leaden when you're sitting there in the back being a prophet so-called prophetess while he prophets so-called prophesied okay you would stay out of the picture there's the book of Titus say this is why they don't want to this is why you got to cut out the New Testament when the Scriptures tell and I think Titus is the second chapter saying women should be keepers of home they shouldn't be up here trying to do men's business this is a shame okay for you to do you uh become neutered and let your woman take your so-called strength okay where you feel you know you feel you have to have a sitting there or you feel like less than nothing there's a lot of men in the world like that I've known something I've seen it but in the truth I can understand the Jake in the world that's that's understandable that's what they do and how they hold out women on high and this is the same woman and if she ever got mad or she didn't get her way she'll be with the heathen she'll be with another nation I've seen that happen too I've seen it happen you guys keep putting your strengthen in these women man especially the black only woman don't black only woman be the main ones dabbling in and out of different relationships and and possibly messing with other nations man but she could use that black only strip to lock your ass in you keep messing around man all you guys all you Jake that puts you a woman all up on high on a pedestal okay who's supposed to be the weaker vessel you put it all up on a pestle pedestal you get exactly what you get man I don't feel sorry for Jake that woman turns on him like that then what will happen is all this stripper be gone he'll leave the whatever truth in he'll become depressed and you won't see him no more that's all I have on that shallow | Defendthetruth | UCGf_M8RuaM9b7YGiIBWC0ag | 2019-12-27 |

1bSydL8daj4 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1bSydL8daj4 | Dispensational Salvation What Is All The Fuss About? (Sound Doctrine #2) | this is going to be dispensational salvations what's all the fuss about and I had this on here but only half of it got uploaded and I've lost it so I'm going to re-record it and talk about this subject of dispensational salvations why is everybody always fussing about it it's one of the most pestering annoying endless arguments is about this topic of dispensational salvations and since I've been saved and studying the Bible and listening to Christians this is uh the most annoying topic to hear argued back and forth for me I don't profess to be an expert on the Bible or dispensations but I've listened to the arguments on both sides back and forth for the past 12 years or so and you have those who teach that everyone in the Old Testament they teach everyone in the Old Testament was born again sealed by the Holy Ghost eternally secure because they were looking forward to the cross and there are those who who teach that and they believe the Old Testament saints went to Paradise in the heart of the Earth and there are those who teach that and they believe the Old Testament saints went straight to the third heaven when they died and they would use Elijah and Enoch as the proof for that and it would make sense to teach that they I mean if you believe the Old Testament saints were born again and sealed by the Holy Ghost and eternally secure if you believed they had all that just like we have it it would make sense to say that they went to the third heaven when they died and not to the heart of the Earth because what would be keeping them from going to heaven the third heaven in the Old Testament if they were born again so by the Holy Ghost washed in the blood of Jesus eternally secure what would be keeping them from going to the third heaven if they had everything that we've got so you have those who teach that they had everything we got and they teach that they still went to Paradise in the heart of the Earth but you also have those that teach that they went to the third heaven as well now another group you have those that teach that everyone in the Old Testament was saved by grace through faith but the object of their faith was different than it is today they weren't looking forward to the cross they teach that keeping the law and the sacrifices were just proof that they had faith and they say if there was no works then there just really wasn't faith and that's still adding works even if you don't want to admit it but they say if there was no works then there really wasn't faith and that's their way around it and but they use that same thing today you know they say if there's no works there's really no faith which isn't true as we've talked about in other videos just because you don't have Works doesn't mean you're not really saved because Works have nothing to do with being saved and then you have those who teach that the Old Testament saints were saved by faith plus works teaching for example that under the law they had to keep the law and since no one kept the law perfectly they would offer the prescribed sacrifice when they broke it and when they would try their best to keep the law and then offer the prescribed sacrifice when they broke it this would make them keep them blameless according to the law and in these lessons or sermons or messages on this topic you consistently have people throwing around the words heresy and heretic on and just giving an an enormous amount of false accusations back and forth and I don't believe that I don't believe that um people who teach the way that I just said or what you would call Heretics at all that would teach any of the ways that I just mentioned I don't believe that their Heretics at all but what I believe is that most of the fighting and bickering and accusations are because one group doesn't understand what the other group believes so it's a Non-Stop fuss and I believe a lot of the confusion comes from saying the Old Testament saints were saved that word saved even though I don't believe it's completely unbiblical to use that word for what they had because I mean they were going to paradise and not hell so in a sense they were saved but it gives people the idea that you're saying they were saved like me and you and had the benefits of the blood of Jesus and had Eternal salvation and have what you have today as a born-again Believer all by faith and works when you say that the Old Testament saints were saved by faith and works people automatically get the idea that you're saying well they earned their way to heaven and got all this benefits that mean you have today by their own works and that's not what's being taught so I personally believe like group three the Old Testament Saints were saved by faith plus works and like I said I use that term saved Loosely because they didn't have what me and you have they were safe by faith and works it got them to Paradise not the third heaven and I've I've kind of quit using the term saved for the Old Testament saying so much because it causes everyone to believe you're teaching that they earned their own Eternal salvation by their own goodness and that's not what I believe I'm going to tell you what I believe and before you uh shut me off and call me a heretic all that here's what I believe uh number one Jesus Christ had not died on the cross yet in the Old Testament he had not shed his blood yet he had not been buried and resurrected in the Old Testament yet we can all agree on that the sacrifice of Jesus had not even taken place yet Jesus Christ had not shed one drop of blood and if it's by the blood of Jesus Christ that me and you get Eternal salvation and it's by that then how would the Old Testament Saints have salvation when the blood of Jesus had not even been shed yet think about that you're saying that they had everything that me and you have were saved the same way yet the very thing that saves us had not even taken place yet think about that how would that be and I know what Revelation 13 8 says where it says and all that dwell upon the Earth shall worship Him whose names are not written in the Book of Life of the lamb slain from the foundation of the world and of course the Lord sees the end from the beginning and he knew he would shed his blood for our sins he knew but that doesn't mean he went ahead and applied his blood to the Old Testament Saints before his blood had even been shed you see what I'm trying to say compare this to the fact that he knew I would choose of my own free will to get in Christ he knew that one day when I was 21 I would believe on the Lord Jesus Christ but he didn't declare me saved born again and in the body of Christ and apply the blood to me until I actually believed on the Lord Jesus Christ you see it doesn't make sense to say the Old Testament Saints are saved like me and you when the very blood that gives us salvation and makes us saved like we are hadn't even been shed yet and those who say that I would be a heretic for saying the Old Testament saints were saved by faith and works and whatnot they want to say we're Heretics for teaching that uh and they say I'm a heretic for teaching that weren't they weren't saved the same way as us they actually boxed themselves in you see because if they're saying the Old Testament saints were saved the same way they have to say they were eternally saved outside of having the blood of Jesus permanently washing their sins away and clearing them completely because the Old Testament Saints did not have their sins washed away and cleared completely how could they the very thing that does that had not been shed yet the blood hadn't been shed yet and if they say that they did have the blood of Jesus applied to them think about this what was the point of the animal sacrifices what was the point of the bloody animal sacrifices if the blood of Jesus was already being applied to the Old Testament Saints I think that's an honest fair question we could ask you say well the animal sacrifices is just a picture and no doubt about it it is a picture of the Lamb of God shedding his blood but look at the verses about it verses like Leviticus 4 25-26. and the priests shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering and shall pour out his blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering and he shall burn all his fat upon the altar has the fat of the sacrifice of Peace offerings and the priests shall make an atonement for him as concerning his sin and it shall be forgiven him is that how you get forgiven today no not at all so now if he if he had the blood of Jesus applied already then why does he need to shed the blood of an animal to get forgiven and Leviticus 4 27 and 28 and if any one of the Common People sin through ignorance while he doeth somewhat against any of The Commandments of the Lord concerning things which ought not to be done and be guilty or if his sin which ye hath sinned come to his knowledge then he shall bring his offering a kid of the goats a female without blemish for his sin which he hath sinned why is he bringing this animal for his sin which he hath sinned I thought he had this taken care of by the blood of the Lord Jesus as they say that doesn't make sense to say that he's already been washed clean by the blood of Jesus but yet he's bringing this animal sacrifice what does he need to bring this offering for his sin which he hath sinned if he had the blood of Jesus already cleansing his sin permanently these are honest questions to ask yourself Leviticus 4 29-31 and he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering and slay the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering and the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger and put upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering and shall pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the Altar and he shall take away all the fat thereof as the fat is taken away from off the sacrifice of Peace offerings and the priest shall burned upon the Altar for a sweet Savor unto the Lord and the priest shall make an atonement for him and it shall be forgiven him now if they just if they just realize their guilt of sin and came to Jesus Christ as a guilty Center and believed on the Lord Jesus Christ or looked forward to the cross in some way and it was just like we we do today then why and the world does the Lord have the messing with all this animal blood sacrificing animals and going as far as giving them forgiveness of sins for doing it now immediately the people who teach the same saved the same way are going to jump up and rock Rochester indignation and scream heresy and they're going to quote verses like Hebrews 10 4 which says for it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins and I believe that verse just as much as you do the blood of bulls and goats never did take away their sin that is just what they want you to think that I teach I don't I don't teach that the blood of bulls and goats took away sin the bloody animal sacrifices never took away sin but it gave them temporary forgiveness until the next time they sinned again and you just read where it it would if they did this it would get the Forgiveness of their sin but you see with the blood of Jesus Christ that we have the benefits of it took away our sin past present and future we did not have to have another sacrifice he's the perfect sacrifice you see but one problem the Old Testament Saints didn't have the benefits of the blood of Jesus Christ they had the bloody animal sacrifices which never took away sin permanently it just it only gave them temporary forgiveness and there's a great verse that goes along with this in Exodus 34 7 it says keeping Mercy for thousands forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin and that will by no means clear the guilty they did not have their uh sins cleared because they didn't have the blood of Jesus applied to him so so um so you like to say they were saved the same way as they are today and that's completely untrue how could they have been saved the same way when the very blood that saves us was yet to be shed now did the Old Testament Saints end up getting the benefits of the blood of Jesus yes you see think about this if the Old Testament Saints had the blood of Jesus applied to them then why didn't they go on up to be with the Lord when they died they did it they went into the lower parts of the earth and you know when they got out of there listen to this after Jesus Christ died shed his blood and was buried and resurrected he took the Old Testament Saints with him you see it all makes sense they didn't have the benefits of the blood of Jesus until Jesus actually shed his blood so until he shed his blood they went to the lower parts of the earth they didn't go to the third heaven just like it says in Ephesians 4 8 through 10 wherefore he saith when he ascended up on high he led captivity captive and gave gifts unto men now that he ascended what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth he that dis decent is the same also that us send it up far above all Heavens that he might fill all things you see the Old Testament Saints ended up getting to Heaven because of the blood of Jesus Christ but to claim they were saved by the blood before the blood had even been shed really confuses everything and there's people that teach the the Old Testament Saints did go to the third heaven and they use Enoch and Elijah as uh proof that they did but those that would be using the over exceptions to overthrow the rule and and you see that's ignoring Luke 16 and making Luke 16. uh like some type of parable or something Luke 16 is a real thing Lazarus was on one side with Abraham the rich man was on the other side and there was a great Gulf fixed the rich man could see over and see Lazarus and Abraham and he he begged for a drop of water on his tongue you know the story the rich man could see Lazarus and Abraham showing you that there was a place in the Old Testament there was a place in the heart of the Earth where Old Testament saints went at death and then you had a place where people were in torments and see the Old Testament saints went down there because they did not have the benefits of the blood of Jesus yet so no the blood of bulls and goats can't take away sin and no serious Bible student ever said that even though they want to claim that people like me Teach that they were eternally saved by faith and works and bloody animal sacrifices that's nonsense now they got to Paradise in the heart of the Earth by their faith and works because they had to bring a bloody animal sacrifice and if they didn't then uh they couldn't get their sins temporarily covered you see and if they did certain things it would make them not righteous anymore you see under the law they tried to keep the law and offer the prescribed sacrifice when they broke it and keeping the law does not mean sinless and they didn't keep it perfectly but but remember the these prescribed sacrifices when they broke it they had to have them and this got them temporary forgiveness it didn't take away their sin so really what is all the fuss about I don't believe the Old Testament Saints made it to heaven and got eternally secure by works I don't believe the blood of animals took away all their sins but it gave them temporary forgiveness for when they broke the law another thing is this accusation that people like me believe in multiple Gospels in the sense that there's multiple gospels that give somebody Eternal salvation and they were like parrot I like parroting each other saying you're a heretic you believe in multiple gospels saying over and over again and they say it over and over and over but the first problem is the fact that they limit the word gospel to Salvation there are different gospels in the Bible but gospel means like Glad Tidings good news and it's not limited to Salvation and the only gospel that gives somebody Eternal salvation is First Corinthians 15 1-4 Jesus Christ out on the cross from our sins he was burden Resurrected that's what gives somebody Eternal salvation the blood of the Lord Jesus to say the Old Testament Saints believed the same gospels we do today is very unbiblical and a complete lie and deep down the people who profess to believe um believe that don't actually believe it do you believe that the Old Testament Saints knew the gospel of the death Brown Resurrection I challenge you to look at some verses very carefully when I say that Abraham did not believe the same gospel when he was alive immediately someone jumps up and screams heresy and calls me a heretic for saying that Abraham did not know the same gospel that I know and they quickly run to Galatians Galatians 1 8-9 that says if any man preach any other gospel unto you then that which we have preached unto you let him be accursed the thing is though the only gospel I'm going to preach to you is First Corinthians 15 1-4 the same one that Paul preached but Abraham did not have that gospel but they'll immediately jump to Galatians 3 8 and quote this verse Galatians 3 8 in the scripture for seeing that God would justify the Heathen through faith preach before the gospel unto Abraham saying in these shall All Nations be blessed so to say see Abraham knew the gospel but look the verse gives you the gospel that was preached unto Abraham and it was not the death burial and Resurrection what was the Gospel preached to Abraham well it was in thee shall All Nations be blessed and they love to use Abraham to prove that everyone in the Old Testament was looking forward to the cross and saved the same way as they say and I admit Abraham it was a picture of our Salvation today because look at Romans 4 2-5 where it says for If Abraham were justified by works he hath we're up to Glory but not before God for what saith the scripture Abraham believed God and it was counted unto him for righteousness not a hymn that worketh is the reward not reckon of Grace but of debt but to him that worketh not but believeth on him that justified the ungodly his faith is counted for righteousness there's no doubt about it that Abraham received imputed righteousness before he was circumcised Abraham received imputed righteousness by faith he received imputed righteousness well that works he got it by faith but by faith in what the death Brown resurrection of Jesus Christ no Romans 4 the very chapter you're trying to use to say that he was looking forward to the cross tells you what it is he believed Romans 4 18. tells you it says who against hope believed in hope that he might become the father of many nations according to that what was spoken so shall thy seed be so how did Abraham get imputed righteousness by Believing on Jesus Christ he had no idea about Jesus Christ coming and dying on the cross for our sins he was believing God about his seed and it says it right there in Romans 4 the very chapter they try to use against you says who against hope believed in hope that he might become the father of many nations and Galatians 3 8 said preach before the gospel of Unto Abraham saying in thee shall All Nations be blessed so Abraham was not looking forward to the cross although he he got imputed righteousness by faith he didn't have all the benefits of Salvation that me and you have that's why in Luke 16 he's in the heart of the earth he's not up in the third heaven he doesn't have the benefits of the blood of Jesus and if you want me to prove it again that what Abraham believed look at Genesis 15 5-6 when he got imputed righteousness where it says and he brought him forth abroad and said look now toward heaven and tell the Stars if thou be able to number them and he said unto him so shall thy seed be and he believed in the Lord and he counted it to him for righteousness Abraham believed that he would be the father of many nations and that in him shall All Nations be blessed and he believe the Lord about this and the lord gave him righteousness still do you still think he was looking forward to the cross he wasn't looking forward to the Cross he was looking for a city Hebrews 11 9-10 by faith he used to join in the land of promise as in a strange country dwelling in Tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob The Heirs with him of the same promise for he looked for a city which hath foundations whose Builder and maker is God you see the Old Testament Saints weren't looking forward to a cross they were looking forward look they were looking for him to come with a crown and bring in the Kingdom you see that's why that he was rejected they thought well he's coming as a king and a crown and he's going to bring in the Kingdom they didn't know he was coming to as a servant to die on the cross and of course you have Prophecies of the Lord being crucified for us in the Old Testament no doubt about it you have pictures and types of it as well you have prophecies about it but you only see those because you're filtering the Old Testament through the New Testament you see the Old Testament Saints didn't have that and most of them didn't even have all the Old Testament when they were alive me and you have the benefits of the Old Testament and the New Testament we can filter the Old Testament through the New Testament the New Testament unlocks it for us the prophets themselves didn't even understand what they were writing when God gave them the prophecies about the salvation that should come unto you First Peter 1 9-10 says receiving the end of your faith even the salvation of your souls of which salvation the prophets have inquired in search diligently who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you notice it's the grace that should come no doubt about it Noah found Grace in the eyes of the Lord but it wasn't the grace that me and you found the Old Testament Saints or the Old Testament prophets prophesied at the grace that should come unto you searching what or what manner of time the spirit of Christ which was in them did signify when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glory that should follow now look at this First Peter 1 12 unto whom it was revealed that not unto themselves it wasn't revealed to them but unto us they'd administer the things which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven which things the Angels desire to look into you see they didn't get it but we get it they wrote it but they didn't understand what they were writing and it's not because we're smarter than they are and we're righteous than they are we just have our eyes open to it and on the road to Emmaus the Lord has to start has to start back there in Moses in Genesis Excellence Leviticus Numbers Deuteronomy and go through the prophets as well showing himself to them in the Old Testament you see you see Jesus is all through the Old Testament obviously on every page but he had to go back there and Moses in the prophets and and expound to them on that on the road to Emmaus the scriptures concerning himself they didn't know it in Luke 24 25-27 it says then he said unto them both fools and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken ought not Christ who have suffered these things and to enter into his glory and beginning at Moses and all the prophets he expounded unto them and all the scriptures the things concerning himself they didn't realize it they didn't get it he had to show them the disciples themselves didn't have their eyes open to the gospel when Jesus Christ preached it to them himself in the flesh and watch what happens when the Lord gives the gospel to the disciples in Luke 18 31-34 it says then he took unto him the twelve and said unto them behold we go up to Jerusalem and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the son of man shall be accomplished for he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles and shall be mocked and spitefully entreated and spitted on and they shall Scourge him and put him to death and the third day he shall rise again he just told them he just prophesied the death Brown Resurrection to them now look at Luke 18 34 and they understood none of these things and this saying was hid from them neither knew they the things which were spoken how could it be any more clear that the disciples who walked and talked with Jesus Christ in the flesh did not even understand the gospel they understood none of these things the saying was hid from them neither knew they the things which were spoken yet you want to tell me they were looking forward to the Cross no they were looking for him to come as king and take over still with all this evidence the average fundamental Baptist will jump up in his righteous indignation and scream heresy heresy you're going to hell you're a false teacher you believe in works for salvation and you've got it all wrong you won't hear you won't listen it's like trying to explain to a two-year-old how to work as a rocket scientist because they just will not listen it's not because you're not smart enough you just want to hear anything other than what you've been taught and you refuse this is your problem you refuse to swallow your pride and admit that you're wrong and you won't hear me when I say that I don't believe it's like they will not hear you when you say that you don't believe the Old Testament saints were eternally saved by works works were involved in getting them to the heart of the Earth in Paradise where they where they would wait on the blood of Jesus to be shed but it's not what got them Eternal salvation you also won't hear me when I say they all got to Heaven by the blood of Jesus the only thing is they could not get the benefits of the blood until it was shed you're not hearing me when I say the blood of bulls and goats never took away sin it temporarily cleared them that's their big thing against what I teach is they say well in Hebrews it says the blood of bulls and goats can't take away sin and I know it didn't take away their sin it was a temporary thing it got them temporary forgiveness so let me turn it back around on you you claim I teach another gospel gives people Eternal salvation right you teach that I teach salvation outside of the blood of Jesus that's what you teach about me I actually don't teach either one of those things but you do because you teach that Abraham was just as saved as me and you but yet he didn't even know the gospel of the death Brown Resurrection I've just proved to you the disciples didn't even know it so if he was saved just like me and you are and he got Eternal salvation if he had Eternal salvation if you believe that then you teach that he got it another way buy another gospel and outside of the blood of Jesus if you go around today and preach the gospel that was preached to Abraham saying in these shall All Nations be blessed you're the one teaching the false gospel for today you see you need to learn to rightly divide you teach that Abraham was just as saved as me and you and he he didn't even have the benefits of the blood of Jesus Christ how could he how could he be the the blood hadn't even been shed yet you teach that they were just as saved as me and you how could they be when they died they were not absent from the body and present with the Lord they had to go to the lower parts of the earth some of you teach that they had all the benefits of the Lord's bloody death Broad and Resurrection yet at the same time they would have been fooling around with the blood of animal sacrifices wouldn't that be a little twisted to fool around with these bloody animal sacrifices when they already had the perfect spotless blood of the Lord Jesus so what's all the fuss about there's a fuss because you don't know what I teach there's of us because you haven't looked into any of it you simply pair it with all the Great Men of God have told you there's a fuss because you refuse to stand corrected there's a fuss because you don't listen there's a fuss because you don't really study this topic you just you you just use the Bible to make Evangelistic sermon after Evangelistic sermon you don't get deep in the book there's a fuss because you're so shallow when it comes to the Bible you refuse to take the time and it takes time to look into these things and really figure out what's going on you just want to make the Bible fit your mold but do you know what happened when you got saved here's a few things you got born again you were literally born into the family of God no one in the Old Testament was born again Nicodemus and John chapter 3 didn't even have any idea what Jesus was talking about when he mentioned it he thought he was talking about entering a second time into his mother's woman being born now don't you think if being born again was a thing in the Old Testament and if it was a thing in the Old Testament it would have been a big thing don't you think he would have Nicodemus would have knew about it if you're born again the Old Testament Saints weren't born again that alone shows you salvation is not the same they didn't have the same salvation me and you have it's completely different another thing you are sealed by the Holy Spirit the Holy Spirit lives and you permanently and never leaves that's not so for the Old Testament Saints Sampson lost the holy spirit in judges 16 20 but later got it back David prayed for the Lord to not take his Spirit from him in Psalm 51 11. Saul lost the Holy Spirit and didn't get it back in first Samuel 16 14. you have to admit that's something completely different I can't lose the Holy Spirit it permanently lives in me and even non-dispensationalists will admit the Holy Spirit operated much differently in the Old Testament doesn't that fact prove that the salvation back then was very different because when you got saved the Holy Spirit comes in you to dwell in you forever and it baptized you into the body of Christ you see that's that's your salvation being baptized into the body of Christ and that's not a water baptism that's a baptism that took place you didn't even know about it that the Holy Spirit baptized you into the body of Christ moved into you to permanently dwell there he operates completely different now than he did in the Old Testament so how is it the same how can that be the same I'm yeah that confuses me when you say that the next thing is the Old Testament Saints had their own righteousness we have the righteousness of Jesus Christ look at Deuteronomy 6 25 it says and it shall be our righteousness if we observe to do all these Commandments before the Lord our goddess he hath commanded us Romans 3 21-24 but now notice that but now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested the righteousness of God without the law is manifested being witnessed by the law and the prophets even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and of all and all them that believe for there is no difference for all have sinned and come show the glory of God being justified freely by his grace through the Redemption that is in Christ Jesus you see they had their own righteousness in the Old Testament me and you have the righteousness of Jesus Christ you say Well they're righteous everybody's righteousness was was was filthy rags okay true where that's why I couldn't get him what they needed their righteousness could not get them Eternal salvation but it did get them to Paradise where they would wait and the Lord Jesus Christ to shed his blood you see what I mean their righteousness that they had isn't as good as the russianism mean you have we got the righteousness of Jesus Christ how could they have the righteousness of Jesus Christ Jesus Christ hadn't come down in the flesh lived a sinless life fulfilled all righteousness and then took our place on the cross so that he could give us his righteousness the next thing when you got saved you got spiritually circumcised the Old Testament saints were not spiritually circumcised when you sin it does not contaminate your soul because at Salvation the Lord cut your soul loose from your flesh so now when you sin those sins don't contaminate your soul they don't get on your soul you're so sinlessly perfect now the Old Testament Saints when they sinned their soul was stuck to their flesh so when they sinned uh it contaminated the soul they would have to us all they would have to continually offer sacrifices you see what I mean now I'm going to close out giving you some verses that are going to be hard for you to look over and it's in Ezekiel chapter 3. look at Ezekiel chapter 3 and verse 18 Ezekiel 3 18 when I say unto the wicked Thou shalt surely die and thou give us him not warning nor speaketh to one the wicked from his Wicked way to save his life the same Wicked man shall die in his iniquity if you die in your iniquity you're going to hell the same Wicked man shall die in his iniquity but his blood will I require it thine hand yet if thou warn the wicked and he turned not from his wickedness nor from his Wicked way he shall die in his iniquity but thou has delivered thy soul again now watch this when a righteous man doth to turn from his righteousness and commit iniquity and I'll ask stumbling block before him he shall die because thou Hast not given him warning he shall die in his sin and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered but his blood will all requireeth on hand nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man that the righteous sin not and he that not sin he shall surely live because he is warned also the house delivered thy soul and you say well this is just talking about uh you know dying prematurely because of wickedness and whatnot and not about uh whether a person is considered righteous enough to be considered quote unquote saved or whatnot but look what it says the righteous man if he turned from his righteousness and dies he shall die in his sin if you die in your sin you go to hell when me and you die even though we still sin after we're saved we're not dying in our sin we're in the Lord Jesus you see when a righteous man to turn from his righteousness on the Old Testament commit iniquity he dies in his sin yeah the Turning from righteousness and living Wicked leads him to a physical death but it also led him to hell as well because he dies in his sin so they were righteous or they were Wicked and if the righteous man does turn from his righteousness and commit iniquity and he died he died in his sin and that's because he did not have spiritual circumcision his soul was stuck to his flesh when he sinned turn from his righteousness it affected the soul you today you're spiritually circumcised you got the righteousness of the Lord Jesus on you on your record that can't be changed so say that you turn from God tomorrow got backslid and you died in that state you don't die in your sin you're in Christ you see what I'm trying to say it's a completely different setup and to say that they were saved the same way is ignoring all these clear things that I've just pointed out to you but dispensation of Salvation what's all the fuss about the fuss is about because people don't know what each other teaches they've not looked into what each other teaches enough they make a lot of presumptions and it's just starting to a mess of a lot of unnecessary fighting back and forth but it's like this the Old Testament Saints they were not saved the same way you can't say that they really even had salvation certainly not in the sense that mean you have it today because the blood of Jesus Christ the blood from which we actually get all the benefits of Salvation where we get the righteousness of Jesus Christ from had not even been shed they didn't have that so how could they be saved the same way they weren't saved the same way that's why they didn't go to the heart of the Earth I mean that's why they didn't go to the third heaven when they died they went to the heart of the earth they didn't have the benefits of the blood of Jesus but this has been dispensational salvation what's all the fuss about | Hensley | UCJACXg2g3LM1uxsO2qRlvNA | 2022-10-27 | Creative Commons

Je-PydaQWAg | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Je-PydaQWAg | Composing in Full Media Part 05 ARTICULATION FLOW Stream Highlight 26 Aug 2020 | let's start here [Music] alrighty ladies and gentlemen this is a recap of composing in full media part 5 articulation flow in today's episode we reflected that since last time we watched even more music videos we feel like we've been a bit slap dash putting together the latest snippets then we recalled we have quite a few new tools in our compositional toolbox including using the full note and full chord function notation so our ideas today were to add those full labels and then further compose with what we're calling snippet five what we mean by the full notation is this this is our energy model for types of notes which we talk about a lot roots and modes and centers and ergy notes which are the lead roots and tail centers the types of cores we've talked about tonic which is a rest and ambivalent which is a rest in a urge kind of a clashy energy and then in this series we're running into the use of subdominance which they have no mode and no active note for example could be a pure root and a pure neutral and there's no no clashy but there's also no no anchor to the modality so it floats and then if you put subdominance into cadence or sequence of chords like a subdominant to a tonic or a tonic to a subdominant anything to subdominant you get floaty energy versus rest energy versus urge energy versus clash energy and that so what we did is we went back to this from the last stream and we started labeling down here especially in our backbone we started labeling okay that's a mode that's a mode that has no function that has no function that's a neutral note and that's a no function and so forth so we went and and did that the second thing we did is we started swapping these chords well actually we swapped the whole column left and right to get a better feel feeling sounding uh energy and then after that we went back and said what what are we doing for cadences and that's when we started realizing um we have an energy store in here we're going from a a rest energy to a drifting energy we're going from a resting energy to a drifting energy all in line one but when we get to line two we're going from the resting to a solid resting and then we're going from a resting to a a landing on a resting energy so we figured all that out let us show what we have to do next time we we finished adding the full note labels as we said resequencing we added a new thing we're calling the polyphone line polyphonic line which was kind of inspired by watching one of our videos so basically the the polyphone line is another kind of backbone but in this case we were deliberately using it to especially down here to get the mode in there we weren't using any mode on our backbone no mode it's all urge neutral and none so this allowed us to get some backbone in there and the backbone is which distinguishes line one from line two because line one is mostly minor and line two is mostly major so so we did all that then we went ahead and added the new the raga theme and the site theme and began some new harmonies for them so our ideas for next time are to complete the new harmonies and add go back to the fourth snippet which was the shadow scale and now that we've thought about adding polyphonic lines we need to add those to the snippet of four we also want to add add a shimmer drone to snippet05 as part of completing it and then after we get that we'll get around to the 2552 scale we also have an idea to add another line of melody using the cadences and then other ideas all the way from there so what we're going to do is kind of wrap up by playing snippet 5 as it currently exists which is about probably two-thirds complete [Music] so we feel that this is approaching standalone status and iterating between the two snippets is giving us more ideas more things to add more feel and getting our theory back in there and remembering to look at the design from a theory point of view helps a lot too so thank you for your time and attention curiosity interest and patience tune in to our next episode please we look forward to seeing you there and as always keep on streaming | Sitearm | UCPKUT_YGVGEPiC8DPLQzaYg | 2020-08-26 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 790 | 4,105 |
Stpq6fNfjQw | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Stpq6fNfjQw | Three Concurrency Theorems | hello and welcome we are back with our pen cast series our next topic was originally scheduled to be the four concurrency theorems which our theorem is 4.1 through 4.4 but after sort of sketching out what was gonna go on here I realized we're not going to talk about four of them and even so the the four theorems that we're going to talk we're not the only concurrency theorems so we're just gonna talk about three concurrency theorems and concurrency is a is just a way of saying these are three lines that intersect in a single point and I think I I think I touched on this and earlier in one of the earlier discussions if you have three lines in just any three randomly selected lines probabilistically speaking what's most likely to happen is that those three lines are going to intersect pairwise and they're going to be three different points of intersection one for each pair of lines so the only ways that that wouldn't happen would be if mmm if two of the lines happen to be parallel which if you're going to be choosing three Relient three lines at random it's extremely unlikely that those two end up that two of those lines end up being parallel and the other possible outcome is that all three of them meet at the single point and that's what concurrency is these three lines which in principle should probably just intersect at three different points and in the three different pairs happen to also all pass through the same point it's a really special thing and so I kind of make a big deal out of it what happens so we're gonna talk about theorems 4.1 through 4.3 and these are concurrency theorems for triangles and our first one talks about the concurrency of perpendicular bisectors now one thing I want to remind you of is this fact about points that are equidistant to two given points if P right here if this point P has the same distance from P to point a as the distance from P to point B which is to say P a is equal to P V then that means that P is on the perpendicular bisector of the segment a B okay and we can sort of get a sense for why this might be true if you look at Point P here it is sort of centrally located between a and B certainly if you picked the midpoint itself that should also be equidistant from point A to point B and we can sort of see how all of these lines in between all these points in between would have a similar property so the set of all points for which this expression is true this expression right here form exactly the perpendicular bisector of this segment it's it's we can we know that it passes through the midpoint because of course the midpoint is one such point and if you were to actually break out the distance formula and find the set of all points you know here's a sketch you say P is equal to at the point X comma Y and if you say that a is the point X a Y a and B is the point X B Y B if you actually just applied the distance formula to P and a into P and B and in simplified those expressions you would end up with the equation of a line and you could given that you have the equation of that line you can figure out what its slope is and you can compare it to the slope of this segment a-b and you'll notice that it's perpendicular and since it's perpendicular and passes through the midpoint to that segment it must be the perpendicular bisector okay so keep this in mind if you draw the perpendicular bisector of to point of two points or the perpendicular bisector of that segment then you are identifying all the points that are the same distance from point A to point B so if I do that on this angle here I have a triangle ABC a b c and if i draw the perpendicular bisector of the side a B I have found all the points P for which PA is equal to PB okay and now if I also draw the perpendicular bisector of AC okay so we have a right angle here we have a right angle here we are finding all of the points that have the same distance from point A as to point C okay so let's look at this point of intersection these these lines are not parallel so they must intersect at some point and so what is special about this point here well this point P has the property that PA equals P C because it lies it's on this perpendicular bisector but because it's on this perpendicular bisector here we also know that P a equals P B well since P a is equal to PC and PA is equal to PB things that are equal to one another are equal things that are equal to the same thing or equal this means that P a pair PB equals PC okay well if PB equals PC that is the condition that one must satisfy to be on the perpendicular bisector of BC so if I were to draw the bisector of the segment BC it must contain point P because point P has the same distance to point B as it does to Point C okay and so these three perpendicular bisectors in fact have exactly one point in common and that point is called the circumcenter and the reason for that is that this is actually the center of a circle because we've established that the point P is the same distance from a as to be as to C that means that if we drew a circle with written with Center P and point A or B or C that circle must go through all three of these points because all three of these points are exactly the same distance away from people okay and I'm going to draw a circle here it is probably going to be atrocious but you get the idea this point P is a certainly center of this circle okay so what theorem 4.1 says is that these three perpendicular bisectors no matter what triangle we start with must be concurrent and we furthermore have named that point of concurrency and we call it the circumcenter and this of course is not a proof of this theorem this is merely an explanation as to why it would be true if you were to write out a very careful proof you would establish all of these things that we said you would say well okay take two perpendicular bisectors the first perpendicular bisector says that these two distances are the same the second says that these two are the same therefore these two are the same okay now let's move on I'm actually going to skip to the two theorem four point three because the explanation as to why theorem four point three is true is almost identical in flavor to the argument that we just went through so let's talk about angle bisectors angle bisectors have the property that they consist of all the points so this angle is the same as this one they consist of all the points that have the same distance to the given lines okay now remember the the distance from a from a point to a line is really just the distance the length of that line segment that you know if you you draw a perpendicular a line perpendicular to in this case line a that passes through the point P then this distance here is the distance from P to a okay and this is the distance from P to B okay so the angle bisectors consists of all the points for which these two distances are equal okay so you pick any point on an on an angle bisector and you draw those perpendicular lines to each of the line segments you were going to get exactly the same distance as long as as long as you are on the angle bisector okay so let's talk about the angle bisectors of a triangle we can draw an angle bisector right here on on this triangle and our triangles have sides a B and C now on this angle bisector these are all the points that have the same distance from from that point to a as that point to be okay and if we do the angle bisector on this corner we're gonna look at all the points that are the same distance to to the line a as to the line C so if we have a point here let's call it P again then the distance frame p2a is equal to the distance from P to B and that's because the point P is on this angle bisector here it's on the bisector of the angle between sides a and B but since it is also on the angle bisector between sides a and C then that means that the distance from point A over point P to line a is equal to the distance from point P to the line B or C rather okay so this distance right here is equal to this distance right here which is equal to this distance right here okay now that means that point P has the same distance from line B as it does to light C okay well if it's the same distance from B if it's the same distance to be as it is to C then that means it's on the angle bisector between the sides a and B okay so same sort of argument we've established that the internal bisectors of the angles of a triangle are concurrent now we go on and further give a name to this point we call it the end Center and since it has the name Center in it that suggests that it's the center of some sort of circle and the circle is actually this one right here with these three distances as radii and now notice that since these angles are right angles here that means that this circle is actually tangent to the sides at this point so this is actually the center of the inscribed circle that's the sinner ably inscribed circle okay now I I mentioned earlier that I skipped ahead I skipped over here in 4.2 so let's get back to that a 4.2 is all about the altitudes of a triangle now the altitudes are just the the line segments that are perpendicular or orthogonal to a side that passed through the opposite vertex so this line here is an altitude because it is perpendicular to the side BC in passes through the vertex a which is opposite BC okay so theorem 4.2 makes the claim that these three lines are concurrent and unfortunately the the argument is not quite as nice as these last two arguments but it is but what it what it lacks in niceness it makes up for in cleverness so what we're gonna do is we're going to actually form a larger triangle around this one that has a very special property that will allow us to apply it here in 4.1 so let's see let's let's do our construction so we have our triangle ABC okay and what we're gonna do is we are going to construct a line that is parallel to a B that passes through Point C okay and now we're also going to construct a line that is parallel to BC that passes through point A okay now what we've constructed is a parallelogram so this side here has exactly the same length as this side and this side here has exactly the same length is the site okay and now we're gonna do the same thing but in the other direction so we're going to draw a line that's parallel to AC that passes through point B and we're going to extend this line that is parallel to BC that passes through point a okay now let's just name these these three points that we just conjured up let's name this one a prime and this one B prime and this one over here C Prime we know that if we look at the truck the parallelogram a C prime B C this is going to tell us that a C prime this segment right here has exactly the same length as BC but we just established that that segment that that this length BC is actually also the same length as a B Prime so we know that C prime a equals B C which is also equal to a B prime now notice that C prime a and a B prime those are just the the two parts of the line segment C prime B prime which means that a is the midpoint of b-prime c-prime now a similar argument is going to show that a B is equal to the length of B Prime's RC B prime but it's also equal to the length of a prime C so B is the midpoint of a prime B oh wait a minute C is the midpoint of a prime B Prime and the same sort of argument will establish that B is the midpoint of a prime C prime namely AC is equal to a prime b and b c prime okay so we have a prime is the midpoint of BC prime C is the midpoint of a prime B prime and B is the midpoint of C prime a prime now let's go back to these let's go back to these altitudes that we got from the triangle ABC well these altitudes they are orthogonal to the outsides of these triangles and they pass through the midpoints of those segments so that means that the altitudes of the inner triangle ABC are the perpendicular bisectors of a prime B prime C prime but we just established in ther point theorem 4.1 that the perpendicular bisectors are always concurrent so these altitudes must always be concurrent since they're exactly the same lines okay and so that establishes theorem 4.2 says the altitudes ever triangle are concurrent and of course we name the point because the currency is a big deal and this point is named the orthocenter okay ortho because of the the orthogonality of the upper altitudes all right that concludes our the pin cast for now we're going to come back later we're going to talk about theorem 4.4 that talks about the medians of a triangle you are actually going to prove theorem four point four in the manner that is different from what the book describes you're going to use it you're going to use a very powerful theorem from

uQoGvc27HyU | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQoGvc27HyU | Term Of The Week - Interest Rate Spread | [Music] interest rate spread Banks interest rate spread is one of the many banking jargons that we often come across in simple words interest rate spread is the difference between the interest rate that a bank charges on its loans to private customers and the interest rate that it pays its customers on their deposits A bank's interest rate spread on any loan is calculated on the basis of a number of factors such as tenure risk credit loss profit requirement operating cost demand in the market and specific risk assigned to an individual customer as a home buyer it is important for you to know the interest rate spread involved in the home loan you take from your bank the interest rate on your loan has two components marginal cost of funds based lending rate or mclr and the interest rate spread until March 31st 2016 the first component was base rate or The Benchmark rate below which a bank would not lend its customers however in its first bi-monthly review of its monetary policy on April 5th 2016 The Reserve Bank of India replaced the base rate with mclr now on all loans given since April 1 Banks charge an interest rate that is a combination of mclr and spread mclr is based on the bank's cost of raising incremental funds and involves five or more rates depending on periodicity spread meanwhile is the margin for profit that the bank wants to price in into its loan product for example if you take a home loan of rupees 10 lakh for 20 years at the rate of 10.5 percent and the mclr at a particular point of time is 8.5 percent the interest rate spread on the loan is two percent later if the bank revises its mclr to 8.25 percent but the interest rate on your loan remains unchanged at 10.5 percent it implies that the bank has increased its profit margin by tweaking its spread to 2.25 percent thank you for watching this video if you want us to simplify any other real estate terms please write in the comment section below hit like if you like this video And subscribe to our channel to decode more real estate juggles [Music] | PropGuide | UCBxHc9lFieC_Q066ybDbjxw | 2016-04-15 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 375 | 2,046 |

the service music today consists of three transcriptions works that were originally composed for one instrument or group of instruments and have been arranged by another composer or arranger for a different instrument or set of instruments for the prelude the 19th century french master cesar frank a piece that he originally wrote for the french harmonium similar to our read organ or parlor organ in this country and 20th century master louis vieren arranged it for grand org or for two manuals and petal in this case the postcode today is a transcription by j s bach of a string concerto by

it is in heaven give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever amen [Music] so do [Music] the old testament lesson for today comes from the book of exodus chapter chapter 20 verses 1 through 21. and this passage has an echo in the book of deuteronomy chapter 5 also verses 1 through 21 a bit more expanded version in deuteronomy if you will but as we will immediately hear this is the story of the giving of the ten commandments then god spoke all these words i am the lord your god who brought you up out of the land of egypt out of the house of slavery you shall have no other gods before me you shall not make for yourself an idol whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above or that is on the earth beneath or that is in the water under the earth you shall not bow down to them or worship them for i the lord your god am a jealous god punishing children for the iniquity of parents to the third and fourth generation of those who reject me but showing steadfast love to the thousandth generation of those who love me and keep my commandments you shall not make wrongful use of the name of the lord your god for the lord will not acquit anyone who misuses his name remember the sabbath day and keep it holy six days you shall labor and do all your work but the seventh day is a sabbath to the lord your god you shall not do any work you your son or your daughter your male or female slave your livestock or the alien resident in your towns for in six days the lord made heaven and earth the sea and all that is in them but rested the seventh day therefore the lord blessed the sabbath day and consecrated it honor your father and your mother so that your days may be long in the land that the lord your god is giving you you shall not murder you shall not commit adultery you shall not steal you shall not bear for false witness against your neighbor you shall not covet your neighbor's house you shall not cover covet your neighbor's wife or male or female slave or ox or donkey or anything that belongs to your neighbor when all the people witnessed the thunder and lightning the sound of the trumpet and the mountain smoking they were afraid and trembled and stood at a distance and said to moses you speak to us we will listen but do not let god speak to us or we will die moses said to the people do not be afraid for god has come only to test you and to put the fear of him upon you so that you do not sin then the people stood at a distance while moses drew near to the thick darkness where god was with a hot election nearly on our doorsteps i expect the ten commandments to be raised as a political platform and advertising tool in certain regions of our body politic these well-worn words have often become weapons in the religious and political battles for america my 14 years serving a church in alabama certainly etched that impression upon me these biblical injunctions often came down to who could wield the two stone tablets to greater effect in alabama even a supreme court chief justice roy moore had to be removed for displaying a granite monument featuring the ten commandments in the state courthouse but despite the politicized emphasis on these commandments in the bible christians and jews hardly have a corner on the commandment market a search of ancient middle eastern cultures turns up law lists that echo the mosaic commandments from even earlier times sumerian and acadian texts that date from 3000 to 2000 bce babylonian laws from the second millennium bce including the code of hammurabi ancient egyptian law codes laws from the cassites the hittites the assyrians the phoenicians there are equally ancient examples from india and china the ancient eight-fold path toward buddhist enlightenment includes these five principles of right conduct do not kill do not steal do not lie do not be unchaste do not drink intoxicants today our conflicts with nations where islam is the predominant religion are to some extent conflicts with interpretations of commandments that come from the quran the current tendency to in our own culture to misunderstand or misuse the ten commandments may come from forgetting or not considering what lies behind these commands when i come across roadside billboards with these words emblazoned on them what part of thou shalt not do you not understand signed god then i know the message of the ten commandments has been missed these ten commandments have indeed come down to us as a list of the thou shalt not do not do those things and presumably all will be well or at least god will not smite us but the stories of the bible demonstrate that not doing something is not enough when the young man with many possessions came to jesus in the gospel according to matthew chapter 19 to ask about gaining eternal life jesus quoted some of the ten commandments but he also added you shall love your neighbor as yourself when perfecting that love meant selling his possessions and giving to the poor the young man went away grieving it had been so much easier for him to not do things than to do the one great thing love and care for his neighbor as himself i suspect most all religions have a strong urge in them to focus on the thou shalt nots that is how to keep people in line that is how to measure one's devotion and purity and that is how to exclude people to judge people to ultimately get around jesus injunction to love my neighbor as myself i suspect that posting the thou shalt nots in public places is a convenient and easy substitute for some of jesus more difficult thou shalls such as love your enemies or give to someone who asks but to reduce the ten commandments to the ten prohibitions the ten thou shalt not is to miss the point in hebrew these are the ten words the ten words that shape a new life for a people who came out of egyptian bondage no longer will people be enslaved no longer will the people be subject to the desires and designs of the state the life diminishing structures of pharaoh where those on top stay on top and those at the bottom suffer instead the people are invited into the wilderness where economic and social distinctions cannot exist and more importantly the people are invited into a covenant relationship with god where there is life for today and hope for tomorrow the ten words of this covenant are not just commandments not simply prohibitions the ten words are promises promises of the way life will be and these promises are no competing gods no idols god's name forever honored rest for creation family stability life faithfulness generosity truthfulness and contentment far from a world bound by thou shalt nots this god of the exodus is calling us into relationship formed by loving god and loving neighbor as oneself to be honest it is easier to keep a list of rules easier to obey the prohibitions but god would give us life abundant life life that comes by risking reconciliation restoration renewal or to use some of the ten words rest faithfulness generosity truthfulness contentment in this season this season of peacemaking we join peoples from across the globe those with whom we have something in common and those who are decidedly different those with whom we agree and those with whom we are in deep conflict those who are easy to love and those who are not we come to worship because we are called by something beyond ourselves we come here to find what the ten words describe shalom peace healing and wholeness for the whole world the way into this shalom is not always clear like moses we must be willing to draw near to the thick darkness that surrounds the mystery of god we do that not by following ten rules but by practicing god's love generosity truthfulness faithfulness sacrifice for god and for neighbor today may we rededicate ourselves to this practice of god's love by joining our sisters and brothers our fellow children of god in practices that embody god's love for us and for all amen when we read some of these passages in the old testament such as the passage today from exodus 20 and the writer or writers describe god as a jealous god punishing iniquity into the third and fourth generation and there are plenty of other passages that depict a vengeful god um it's hard for us not to have that be our vision but what we see embodied in the life of jesus and in the message that jesus brings about god is that god is indeed full of grace full of loving kindness merciful full of joy and that is the image that we must keep foremost in our lives of faith the image of god wooing the world to healing and wholeness difficult to imagine in times such as these raging pandemic explosive uh racial tensions resulting from uh hundreds of years of white dominance and supremacy over our brothers and sisters of color as we look around the world and see natural disasters and conflicts between peoples it's it's hard to hold on to the idea that we worship and we follow a god of hope so we remind each other we buck each other up we pray for one another and most importantly we work to embody that hope in all that we say and do may it be so for you and for me and as you leave worship this day go knowing that you are embraced in the steadfast love of god forever that you are redeemed in the grace of jesus christ now and always that together we are being empowered by holy spirit for faithful witness and loving service this and every day of our lives and so may god's hope peace joy love abide with you and with us all amen [Music] [Applause] [Music] so [Music] my [Music] [Applause] [Music] you | First

2_6qjptbYfc | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_6qjptbYfc | The Compound Sentence | hello it's Mr Omar here again I'm here to talk to you about my second favorite type of sentence in the world the compound sentence now just to quickly recap we know about a simple sentence we have a subject this and we have a predicate is a simple sentence subject predicate simple sentence complex sentence we have a subject this we have a predicate is a complex sentence and we have a dependent clause and always will be dependent clause cannot stand Al Al independent clause can today we have the compound sentence the compound sentence is different it's basically like two simple sentences glued together in fact it is two simple sentences glued together we can spot it because it has more than one subject it has more than one predicate and these are properly joined together and I'll show you what I mean so where are we just clicking around here trying to find the next thing Indiana slept while Emy Lou ate both dinners so Indiana's one subject and what she did was she slept but Emy L is actually a different subject because she ate both dinners if they were doing the same thing they'd be only one subject even though they're a couple of dogs but because they're doing separate things it's actually two sentences Indiana slept is an independent clause and Emy L ate both thinners and it's joined together with a conjunction in this case I keep getting that coming up don't know in the case in this case the conjunction is while which means it happened at the same time let's look at another one the stranger watched as the sheriff faced The Outlaw The Stranger watched that's one sentence subject predicate as is our conjunction that's our proper joining and the sheriff faced The Outlaw This Is How We join two sentences together now this is much more power than powerful than you might imagine this is how we show the Rel relationship between ideas and at the level that you're at sort of year 10 11 12 you should be writing a lot of compound sentences they're good for showing the relationship between two ideas so let's have another look at another one Indiana and emo slept while the rain fell on the roof now in this one the first subject is Indiana and emyo they're not two subjects cuz they only did one thing they slept wall is our conjunction and the next subject is the rain because it fell on the Roof dog sleeping rain falling on the roof it's basically two sentences and what's joining it together is the W now you'll notice that here we've got a comma some people will tell you that you shouldn't put a comma before a conjunction but I can tell you that that's absolute nonsense if you need it to make it clear that you're slightly changing Tac or that you're basically going from one idea to another related idea I think a comma can be really useful in a shorter sentence you might not need it but you can certainly put it in there this is your choice as a writer it is perfectly valid to put that comma in there so that you just go okay Indi Indiana and emo slept while the rain fell on the roof the conjunctions which is my next point the conjunction really matters when you're doing a compound sentence the conjunction basically gives you the meaning for the sentence or at least a big chunk of it I'll give you an example of that before I wrap up Indiana barked because Emy was wet and saying sentence I was caused by sentence B A because B so that's what because does whereas if we use um before then we're talking about time so one was talking about cause and effect but if I use before Indiana barked before Emy L was wet it doesn't say what caused what but it gives us some temporal information about time next we have Indiana bked but Emy L was wet now but is one of those fantastic multi-purpose conjunctions and but what but mostly does is it refocuses your attention you know Indiana barked but the important thing which is what BART always says here's the important thing Emy L was wet so that's kind of a refocusing so just to quickly recap a compound sentence has more than one subject it has more than one predicate so it's basically two sentences and they are properly joined they can be joined by conjunction and also by semicolon but I'll talk to you about that another day so that's the end I hope that's been useful | Mark O'Meara | UCBu5ws3ySzqffoN_ISUTsow | 2011-07-21 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 791 | 4,262 |
W7-4jFMTRbA | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7-4jFMTRbA | Stories from reality - How do we do teaming today - Leila Ljungberg | yeah good morning everyone welcome to this um morning seminar I will start and hand over uh the word Lea Yung by she is been working with teaming and doing a lot in what you call Agile environments and driving this but um what I know her also a lot from is that she is the contributor to the book that P Maria has written so if you have written if you had read the book you surely have uh heard some of the sayings from Leila so I will hand it over to you thank you so much engla for for that introduction yeah that was many years ago that book uh and that was uh fantastic and great and I hope that it provided some insights for you if you readit so my name is Leila Yung and nowadays I actually work as a consultant at a bureau called doings and we have the humble aim uh as I would presume that many of you have to make this world a little bit of a better place uh person by person team by team and organization by organization so that's just briefly who we are and I'm really really happy to be here with today to talk about theming because collect intelligence is really what I strongly strongly believe in and you can just see that by the power of all of you here today uh that's a collective with a bunch of intelligence that I know of seeing a lot of your names on the list so uh it's going to be super interesting to see how we can leverage that today um can we just say that if they have any questions they can write it in the chat and there will also be an opportunity afterwards to to to address the questions to Lea so sorry for that yes that's how we will manage the collective intelligence so right in the chat box Ina will help me out to see if you have asked something uh that's super nice and I will leave some time by the end as well if you have anything that you want to ask me but I would also like to hear from you to talk more about teaming so this is the team that I work with every day uh and we work a lot with the coaching team development and organizational change uh we were we do that from a lot of leadership questions a lot of culture questions trying to make sure that um companies are living and doing their very very best let's see if this works yes and these are our values and principles that we live by which actually made me choose doings because if you look at these pretty closely you can see that they are really really closely connected to the agile values uh which made me think that this is the perfect match we will work so greatly together and that actually stands true we believe in a co-leadership so we are 17 people 18 I think actually nowadays that are doing that together co-leading ourself to live according to our values so just briefly uh yeah I've struggled I had one work life where I mostly struggled upstreams uh and and in that work life I actually met pmia and many others from the AG people community other other Heroes out there struggling to create something else uh I really wanted to see if there were another way that we could work together that was well suited towards being being a human being with other human beings where we were supposed to leverage this you know brain we have here inside of us because everywhere where I looked that were not really what we were doing and I I continued this quest for many years uh I tried to work from the HR box and fortunately what happened to me was that in a very early stage I was at the it consultancy firm and I discovered uh competence Network that was focusing on working in agile ways this made me super curious what what is all of this about and I really quickly realized that these values they were really resonating with me and they were resonating with being a human being leveraging this um Capital that we have inside of our heads and really working authentically with that so I worked as uh people in culture manager in uh many different Global organizations for many years and I tried to build HR functions from the notion of the agile values and principles um so that is kind of what you can see in these pictures my my constant struggle and then all of the sudden I realized that something has changed and shifted uh people wanted to work in this way so that became an opportunity to me uh to really kind of a little bit let go of the struggle uh and I joined doings to work a little bit more with these type of questions that I was really passionate about which was all about you know coaching individuals growing teams and growing organizations from these perspectives so that is actually what I do mostly nowadays and I would say that a majority of my time has been spent with teams and figuring out different teams uh different ways for teams to be as engaged and as effic efficient that they can be and I love that it's so much fun which brings us to today's topic I met Ina the the other month actually it wasn't this month it was another month and we were at this lunch webinar and we started to talk about teaming actually because it's so interesting about how we do that nowadays what actually works and how can we apply theories in practical cases so we started talking about that and so we ended up here uh having this little stories from reality thingy with all of you so I'm going to walk you through this today uh and I'm I'm going to give you a very brief brief introduction to three different fantastic Mighty researches that has a lot of thinking and theories that have been studied and applied on teaming and group development and then I'm going to talk a little bit um about how I actually apply these different theories in real life in practicality with a few of uh customer cases that I brought here for you today and of course I would like to trigger your own thinking in this and it would be really interesting and to hear in the end what you think works really well when you work with Team development or building teams what is working for you and how do you leverage different theories okay so I'm going are you ready yes this lady she's a mighty one so I will not deep dive into the different theories but I will talk a little bit about what I personally like with them and I will also talk a little bit about what the critics say about them um so for you who don't know psychological safety has been booming uh for a few years now so this theory is about how we create an environment for teams where they can be as efficient as possible as engaged as possible when we have a lot of complexity around us and we have an uh environment that requires us to be really good problem solvers or really creative thinkers so in that context how can we become the best possible versions of ourselves so you can read and see here on the slide about the definition about psychological safety from am Edmonson there are a few other ones as well but let's focus on her for for this session today so psychological safety is I believe that no one will be punished or humiliated for speaking up with ideas questions concerns or mistakes so that is her definition of a psychological safe that is and I'm going to talk a little bit more about how you can create that but I wanted to tell you first that what I do like with psychological safety talking about practical application is how well suited psychological safety actually is when you have complex environments when you have uh a lot of uncertainties a lot of unknown areas and you really need to have a strong collaborative environment for the team and you need need to be able to uh get the most Innovation power um out of people that are involved so I think uh that is my personal take on how psychological safety has been really suitable when I meet teams that are in that type of environment so let's just look a little bit on how you do it so um I really like this uh short uh sheet sheet we can call it that uh Amy uses herself and she talks about Hardware or software of teams so for me this has been a really good like checklist while working with teaming uh in this case so you need to have the hardware a lot of structural things like we need to scope what type of challenge we are looking at why are why are we a team what are we trying to accomplish we need to understand that to be able to find the expertise in the team that is needed and when we know what we are doing we need to talk about how we actually are building value how do we do things and then of course if we have a complex environment this question sorting priorities and interdependencies is not as easy as it might seem that could be really complex but who is doing what first and what do we need to succeed so those are more of the hardware the structural things in regards of psychological safety and then we have the software of psychological safety that is you know understanding and connecting to a deeper purpose of of why we are doing things what are we doing and why and this is of course good for many different benefits but mostly it triggers internal motivation to do things and it creates a a glue in the team that sticks us together and we also talk about how we are doing things and this is something that helps us to you know let go of that energy to to constantly drain ourself with figuring out how we're doing things rather we talk about it very explicitly so it's out there and then of course the hard question of learning actually so it it does seem simple on the surface but we all know that if we are in teams with a little bit more higher diversity both if it's demographical or neurodiversity it requires a little bit bit more from us and there will be Divergent ideas there will be mistakes and it's really good also to have made it more explicitly how we actually handle that type of learning so I'm not going to dive any deeper into psychological safety I'm I'm presuming most of you have heard of it and if you haven't I I hope that you will be curious to learn more after this session but I'm also going to highlight actually what some critics talk about when they um hear psychological safety so one thing is cultural variation and that would be also interesting to see if there are some of you here from from other cultures rather than my perspective which is one specific one uh but some critics says that there is a aspect of cultural variation which does not make psychological safety Universal rather you could see that it is influenced by the different types of cultures and it doesn't apply straight away to to all type of cultures that we have around us and there are also potentials for misuse this is something that I actually meet very often that psychological safety is seen to as a way to you know be be really nice as an example just be nice to each other uh which is a bit of a misunderstanding of what psychological safety is but if you just dive into it very briefly that might be have you receive a psychological safety which might also U be something that could create some confusion of how it actually should be working in reality so that was Amy Edmonson and psychological safety uh a little bit of what I like about it a little bit about what the critics say about it uh I'm moving on to another Mighty woman uh this is Ruth wagaman I don't know if you have heard about her uh she's not as famous as Amy is but her research is pretty impressive um so the thing I like with vman's research is that she has a lot of recent research we're talking about the 30 years that has been upcoming for now so it's pretty recent research even though it's very uh longitudinal um and she has been looking at efficiency for leadership teams a lot uh which has been relevant for me because I worked a lot with teaming for leadership teams as well but she has also looked at other teams and she have found these six conditions uh that collectively could lead up to predict up to 80% of Team efficiency so it's pretty solid research and that's impressive for me um and I think that the thing with vman's research is that it's very uh similar but a little bit more Concrete in structure towards edmonson's research on psychological safety so they're really like Well Suited together let's look at it a little bit closer so maybe this picture is a little bit small for you but I'm going to read you through it so you can see there are two triangles in this picture and it's actually uh chronological order of these different triangles in her model so the first triangle is what your supposed to kind of walk through first and the top of that triangle says real team so uh this is actually a really tricky question that I've um met myself during a lot of I made a lot of mistakes in this area during the years I've tried to create teams of a bunch of people who are not really a a real team uh and this is the hard way to do this Lessons Learned so I can just tell you this directly that that doesn't work uh people do not want to work work together if they are not actually not a real team because there are no uh there are no genuine need for each other in that context and I've tried to do this actually from the agile perspective because I've thought you know okay but we are all okay we are HR we are Finance we are it we are all here to make something great for the employees as an example that was like my really naive idea of how to create a team in this context but the thing is like it finance and HR had really like not the same goals in this and maybe not the same perspective and maybe not even the same value base actually to stand from so uh that is something I've I've um I've worked upstreams with a lot of times during the years trying to create teams of groups of people who actually are not a team so it's a good question to ask yourself actually it's very existential but it starts there are we a real team is this a real team and if it is what is this team's purpose and if you dive into vag's research a little bit deeper you will see that she has also like different alternatives for this like when we're talking about the team's purpose there are a bunch of different purposes that could stand true for this team um but yeah so is this a real team and if it is what is the team purpose as you can see very closely connected to edmonson's uh hardware and the software of teams as well and so uh we are also talking about who are in the team and why are we in the Tim and in this case we are referring to you know competencies and roles which expertise is needed again to be able to create our mission at hand and maybe we're also missing somebody that could be the case as well so does this team have a compelling purpose so compelling is kind of a key word in this as well and it is again we're talking about internal motivation that is the thing because we know that when we trigger this area in the brain we will have more grit we will have more stamina we will stand tall through the challenges that we will meet as a team so co-creating a compelling purpose is one of the core structures here and then we go to the lower triangle and as you understand if we have these three parts first we have cleared out some foundational questions about teeming together but the the lower triangle here that asks what is the structure of this team do we have a sound structure for this team and I I think this is um it's very easily to see if you work with a leadership team but also in other teams that you know they might have those first three questions in check but maybe they haven't worked so much on making the structure of the sche explicit how we actually are building structure and value together how we are communicating with other teams what we're doing in which orders etc etc and then I think this question is really interesting because uh this is an external perspective of the team that is not maybe often looked at do they have a supportive context so does this team have a supportive context and I like this because this resonates with the servant leadership you know that we're building foundations or structuring an organization that actually helps this team to be their very best but this could also be about you know training could be about resources all types of things around the team that can make the team even better and then I don't know if this is a really smart sales trick from vagan or if it's just meant for us consultants in general or no I have a personal view on this of course but she talks about team coaching there is an upside of having a NE neutral facilitator who helps the team to develop and go through their evolutionary phases um of course this could be some someone external like me you can hire me of course but it could also be H somebody in the team who takes on this role and I think it's a good thing to do within the team to take on the facilitator role and to actually uh shift so different persons works on developing the skill set but that is mostly maybe from my personal point of view that I think facilitating is you know the leadership for the future and vag talks about Essentials for the first triangle and then she talks about enablers for for the later triangle and I think this is really connected to this a facilitating skill set is really an enabler for a group's Evolution to become more engaged and efficient yes so what I like about vaman's uh model and way of thinking with six condition is that this is really clear it's a really solid clear structure you can dive deeper into this and you will have questions and and more details in the different parts I I really like that um what critics says is that there are some rigidity in the conditions like they're a little bit too rigid sometimes which makes it harder to apply in all team contexts and the critics also say that it overemphasizes a little bit on structure uh when you have a more Dynamic and fluid team it might be harder to average this structure so um that is a little bit of my point of view and a little bit of the critic's point of view on vagam man's research about teeming okay this Ladi is may be somebody you recognize as well so uh we can't talk group development if we're not referring to Susan wheen huh it's kind of a must have in this mix uh I think it's also interesting because we wheel's perspective applies a little bit of another dimension in regards to edmonson's and to vman's uh research but as you know wheen has built on on tak's theory of group development and what she is looking at is more of the natural group development over time you know all of these different developmental phases that a teams go through so uh the good thing that her research shows is that usually when you work just with looking at the different phases that a team go through with a team that the team themselves becomes really you know skilled on recognizing the different signs of which kind of evolutionary phase they are in that actually brings more team efficiency in engagement because the team feels more ownership they become more skilled at moving from one phase into another so um that is just really short on Will's theories I'm also going to just show this picture if you don't know about wheel theories this is what they look like so uh you usually use the metaphor of a person growing up when you talk about wheel's um natural team development phasal so first you're in this more polite phase uh where you have the dependency and inclusion and then when things have been polite for a while you start to go into conflict when you realize that you have things that you think differently about and you want to disagree a little bit upon to be able to get the next phase uh the conflict phase and then when you have gone through that you are supposed to have more of the trust and the structure which naturally happens when you gone through the hard times together as well and then you get to a higher performing stage and then there's also a closer face in this but I think most of you have seen Susan Will's model before maybe even tried out GQ which is the test questionnaire connected to this where you actually can work a little bit more Clos closer on this so I personally think that it's really good and easy language to to leverage wheel's you know this analysis of where a team is at when I go into a new team to kind of recognize what has happened here where are they at right now where do we need to go and I also like that you can Pro provide the team with the self-efficiency of actually themselves making these analysis being able to recognize where they're at in their Journey so some of the critiques towards uh vence theories is that there are somewhat of an overgeneralization uh that is oversimplified uh with the Team Dynamics and it's a bit more of a linear approach so it's a little bit harder to apply in more complexity or when you have more of this fluid space the team are acting with um so that is just just really briefly on on wheel's Theory and how I like it and what the critics say so the good thing with these Mighty researches and their theories is that they are really good to just mix together uh I love that uh I love to to take the best parts of of theory and apply into practical uh scenarios so what we can see that is similar for all of these three theories is that they are both very focused on team effect iess and they're very also focused on team inter dependencies that we are realizing that we are dependent of each other within a team to be able to create what we want to have the outcomes of the team the differences between these teams is that they have a bit of different approaches to teaming and how that works um there have a bit of different views on the environmental perspective around the team uh and also what type of conditions a team need need and they're also focusing a little bit more depending on which Theory you look at at the individual in the team context or the the team as a collective uh a group that is moving together just to highlight that but I think that the the most important part to realize as well is that they are all working very well together um so I'm really curious to see how you are thinking when uh you are maybe meeting a new team and you're trying to help them to move on forward uh maybe just becoming better or maybe resolving something that has been tricky but this is a bit of questions that I'm thinking about when I'm meeting a new team to understand where they are currently at and since I'm a consultant I need to do this pretty quickly actually uh there's no slack because they charge me by hour or I charge them by hour so this need to be an efficient process uh so I'm usually looking at you know uh what what is uh this team supposed to do together why do they need each other why are there supposed to be a team a pretty provocative question sometimes but sometimes really good to just realize and go back to basic it's a bit of of understanding the why in a really deep level and this is something you can ask of course if there's a team leader or a team manager uh or yourself if you're a team leader or a team manager but also the individuals in the team because it's really interesting to see if this is something that is really well anchored with all or if this a question that still has um a bit of unclarity to it and it also directs the rest of the efforts that you want to do when you need to understand who are in the team um who needs to be in the team maybe if there are not uh if there are competencies or role missing when you need need to understand where the team is at it's also good to see uh what they are supposed to do do together some type of background you know there could be conflicts or things that has been happening before or there have been a lot of movement uh and you recognize that this is maybe not a stable team is more of a fluid team uh and that is the context that they are acting in and it will be that way that requires certain things and then of course what type of structure do they have already what does it look like right now so these are a few of my questions um and and the things that I'm thinking about when I meet a new team and I really uh mix all of the theories actually when I do this and I'm G to be even more explicit in how I actually do this with a few of Team cases and when I talk about these team cases now feel free to you know drop a question in the chat box or raise your hand if if you want to ask something I I won't be able to dig into details uh from the customer and team aspect but maybe in how I apply Theory so quizer this is one of my customers where I have a role as a I usually say as a janitor or something similar because I do a little bit of everything and what is needed at certain times sometimes it's sweeping floors sometimes it's building something new VI or sometimes is making sure that the elevator is working um but this is um a scaleup uh that works with educational Technologies um they are spread all over the world uh so it's a really hybrid team setup they they have a few offices they have a few persons that are like uh you know alone in different parts of the world because they need to um they have a global customer base they are in some kind of scaleup phase so uh things are moving fast there are never enough hands uh I think a lot of you recognize this phase to be in uh and uh it's a lot of change it's constant change so um I've I've done a lot of different things with these companies but in this case we're focusing on on team development and uh working with the CEO as well because I think that the thing here with with this customer in this case is that when you have fluid teams which I think psychological safety is a really well suited theory for uh you need to be able to create you know both um a big structure uh that enables uh this psychological safety to happen in smaller context because the team needs to be uh set up in a fast and small structure and then it might be you know let go of and then there might be another team constellation um so in this case is a lot about creating both uh organizational structure for smaller teams to be able to set it up uh and that is also very highly connected to each and every individual in the company to be able to have the self- awareness the self- leadership to see and build small teams and contribute to small teams as they need so in this case we have been working on the organizational purpose a lot and we have also been working on making sure that each individual is connecting to that overarching purpose a lot uh because the team purpose is a bit harder in this context because it's constantly fluid so the team purpose might be set up in a smaller context depending to need towards a certain customer in different times but we have worked a lot on the Bigg structure and the individual um uh um self leadership from that perspective so they both have this common language that where they actually can refer to psychological safety and how you do that and how they contribute to that but also that they have the organizational structure presets to be able to do that uh in the bigger picture this also becomes more important when you have a lot of remote and hybrid working team members because um a lot of things within psychological safety is about min izing the threat response to make sure that we can be the best version ourselves and if you are supposed to do that you need to be clear on the structure that you have for different things like how do I give feedback in this organization if I have an idea for the product where do I go or if I want to connect to other team members and then I'm all alone here in my country in my home office how do I connect with them what kind of areas and surfaces is there for me to connect to others so a lot of you know organizational setup from that perspective and co-creating and refining that together for them to be able to feel that they have the presets in the organization to be able to contribute and build the psychological safety they need together so uh the case at quiser has been a lot about growing fluid safe teams together and I think that psychological safety has been the theory that I I definitely apply the most here to be able to provide them with what they need in this kind of constantly moving uh Team structure okay I'm moving on so the Red Cross uh so uh this has been a really interesting uh assignment as well because it's changed a lot uh during the process and I will see the most important thing in this case actually has been the question question of a real team is this a real team so the mission at first was actually to uh work with one isolated team in the organization to see if they could try out more agile ways of working and if that then later on could be applied to other teams in the organization as a whole so a bit of uh experimental uh first case super interesting uh the challenge was though that this team was actually like four teams that had been uh just merged to one team and uh we had this you know ambition in the beginning to work with directly the agile ways of working uh moving on right into those kind of practices but in this case which we realized after failing a bit that's that's how I do it I fail a bit and then I realize new things was that uh it's not doable to jump into the agile ways of working without understanding if this is a real team uh and if it's not uh what is a real team here uh so we started out with the way of working we realized me and the team manager in this case that this was not the path that we could take to move on forward um and we changed the scope so what we instead did was to structure up the real teams Within These team to understand what are a team in this context what is the scope of their challenge there there was of course just to be clear already very clear missions for this different teams that were merged that they were supposed to work with the problem was just that we couldn't just merge these four different um Team challenges or Scopes to one because there were two different and there were no natural dependencies of each other if we would just have merged them to one um so we actually yes question yeah the question is uh what did you do in the team development sessions yeah so we we SE we started with separating them actually because we realized that we couldn't work with them all together as one and in in this team development session it was a a lot about defining the scope and the challenge of their mission at first so kind of containing that structuring that so much closer in co-creation of course with that natural team uh what is the the scope and the challenge where should we cut and slice it and when the challenge was a little bit more clearer working on um that team's way of working and in this case there were a lot of changes actually a lot of structural changes so I would say in this case it was um both in the beginning to realize that okay when we when we put all of these persons together in the room there's um the uh you could apply Will's Theory to the to this because you saw that there is something really wrong here it does not work as it should um and then when we separated them you could apply whe and Theory again because you could see that they were in so different phases all of the different teams and they needed a little bit of different things so one team need to work really a lot with you know what's the what's the scope and challenge ahead another team they needed new roles they actually needed to shift roles and they needed um different competencies in different roles and then a third team needed to work a little bit more on their their ways of working so we separated it into these different team working uh value tracks instead and work with this during a long time actually to figure out and make it a bit more clear for each of these teams what they were doing how they were working and which roles were needed so a lot of change uh on both structural and behavioral areas as well and in the end they could actually come together and start working on their agile Manifesto they had their own um principles that they uh could start to co-create and then they could do that uh all of them together because it was more on a principal basis and they could start to see that they had synergies across the teams that still could be appliable in case of learning uh mostly from each other and leveraging insights across the different teams uh so that was kind of a a interesting process uh that I learned a lot from myself in um in how to work with analyzing uh teams and working with real teams I hope that uh gave some answers on the team development sessions uh I can talk a bit more about that in this last case as well uh so I might have cilia online I don't know that would be fun um Cecilia is uh one a chro at Exum one of my customers as well uh where we have been doing a lot of things together and they have also worked a lot with teams in this company actually as well but uh Cecilia came to me with a specific team in mind so this was also really different case from the other two so this was a specific team who were in a challenge uh and the aim was to get back to a stage where this was a really trusting and high performing team because they needed to be really Innovative uh which is one of the core competencies that this company has have and they needed to leverage that even more in this specific team so there had been a a conflict earlier and the result in this has also been that there was not this you know even air time in this team but rather a few persons had a lot more air time and this uh this you know it's a super nice team and all of that but the thing is that you couldn't leverage the full innovation of the full collectives intelligence here so what we did was a very structured approach here with uh different team development sessions and then some individual coaching as well between uh the manager and the team members so I think that was really key in this as well because since there had been a conflict it would have been super challenging to walk in for me to as a team facilitator to walk into this team when the conflict was you know in full blossom that would probably not have worked very well so the team manager had already worked with the individuals who were involved in this case and and have talked a lot about this and it was like you know at the uh at a calmer calmer level and these persons these individuals were really ready to take the next step so I think that was an important preset uh for me to be able to come in here and deliver value when I was working with the whole group in these team development sessions so in this case we worked a lot with psychological safety um and we also uh worked a lot with the real Team question because this is a matrix organization with uh cross functional teams so in this case this is a team that um had a specific purpose together but maybe not uh the same purpose as as most teams have uh because they shared Purpose with other teams as well so we actually had three very structured questions where we uh sessions where we worked first on the team purpose why are we a team and and how are we working together and each in each of these sessions we did this co-creation phase together together but I also gave them um commun communicative tool of some sort for each session to be able to improve their uh communication skills with each other at the same path so we worked with you know the purpose of the team and then we practiced active listening or we worked with ways of working in the team how do we want to behave towards each other how are we doing things and then we practiced a feedback method um so these this was the setup of the three different team sessions um to be able to get to a stage where they felt more safe uh to express um how they were feeling or their ideas Divergent ideas when co-creating and doing Innovation together but they also became a little bit better at facilitating how they work together since that was a bit of the challenge to be able to get to this stage of more of an Innovative climate when when they were supposed to great things together so I would say in this case I worked a lot with both vagan and edmonson's Theory psychological safety and six conditions for a team to be able to uh provide them with the structure uh that they needed uh to uh work in a more Innovative way structure and Innovation that's how it goes cool so uh now I've been talking for so much time I can't hear my voice anymore um but I'm curious to hear from you uh I'm really curious to hear from you what you think works or if you have any questions for me uh talking about how you apply Theory into practice Yeah we have a question from y album uh do you want to address it yourself maybe because I missed that it was about the first example please we cannot hear you yeah yunas are you there we cannot hear you so um he what he's asking is how did you come up with this setup and workshops with the whole team online them sorry the whole team what was first uh uh workshop with the whole team and did you do it online um was this for the first case with quer yeah yeah okay cool um so yeah yeah that has been uh not a straight straight cut line process but um uh we we have worked a little bit with different ways actually but I think the the the one thing that made the most uh impact which I could see at least that's a problem with hybrid you don't you don't know uh but uh the thing is we they had an all hands physical All Hands where uh they gathered the whole company and when they did that it was like for a week or something like that then we we took the opportunity to make a bigger um um both educational and co-creating thing where we worked with the team purpose uh behaviors to to succeed with this and actually also which organizational structures forums meeting spaces they needed to be able to do this and I think uh that physical room was really well needed to uh to make sure that people went home back you know into their remote space and felt like they knew now that this was okay and that I could use this because this is also one of these companies where cultural differences has cultural variation is a is a big question because the employees are from all of over the world so a lot of different cultures mixed up together but but yeah physical uh and if I would have done it in another way we would try to made it of course remote uh but I would have preferred at least to do one thing physical or a first thing physical um and then the next thing remote that's um because that's how we have worked afterwards as well thank you we have a question from Matias Matias W would you like to yeah I'm I'm I'm curious about how we can um um move from the the typical stable teams setup where we where we um say need to retam more and more often to handle uh cross value stream uh collaborations any ideas any tips yeah I'm I'm so happy you brought this up because maybe I haven't or I haven't had the chance to talk about this but this has been one of my like trickiest challenges like do we even have stable teams anymore is that a thing nowadays uh or maybe do we only have teaming like the verb that we're like constantly doing teaming because everything is fluid around us all the time and I think what uh for me has been a key as a facilitator for teams uh which I also tried to to work with team manager and team leaders on is to take these theories like psychological safety as an example hardware and software for teams or vaman's you know conditions or something that has the structure thing to it and make it in a smaller format when you go into a fluid team like am I only working with this team for like two or three months I could still leverage a lot of those structural components to make sure that some threatening stuff that could be on people's brain is taken care of and cleared out like why we're doing things how we're doing things um and even to make a small investment in co-creation of that not telling as a manager or a facilitator how it is but having that element of co-creation even though it's really small uh makes the engagement I think personally it's it's my experience I can't I don't have any research to back this up is just my experience that that makes it a lot more efficient do you have any other ideas yourself now I'm I'm I totally agree that there's a lot of um progress and and value to to be found when you invest time in that way but from my point of view I I I see from organizations a tendency to invest in the hardware setup of the team and less on the software setup and how can we how can we show them the value of investing also in the software the team yeah good question that's a challenge for me yeah yeah if you have the answers please please provide me with those insights and I would leverage that to all my customers okay thank you very much no but I I think I I think you're on to something uh because the thing is that the hardware of the team uh is is also sometimes set up already in an organization like it's it's clear but I think uh the software of a team is a lot about the co-creational phase for me uh one key has been in understanding that the leadership of the future requires facilitation that's like key because if you're a good facilitator you can facilitate these things in the smallest of context in a hybrid context in a real life context in short and long term so uh I would invest in facilitation uh as a company or as a team or as a manager whatever but I know it's it's it's always is a challenge of making somebody realize this investment H great outcomes from the team later on maybe yeah great thank you we have a question from cash also do you want to address it yourself um am I hi am I audible hi um yeah my uh question is uh a bit specific to teams that are following uh the agile methodology and uh uh well what I'm curious about is to understand if uh it's a good practice that uh a team that's following the agile methodology which kind of states that okay teams need to be flexible enough to um accommodate ad hoc work that comes in uh is is that kind of a good practice to have multiple focuses or have situations where you need to shift Focus every now and then and uh related to that is is uh how is such a team uh going to be able to achieve um like a high performance um you know how is that kind of a team going to reach that stage yeah yeah yeah I think you're addressing one of our hardest challenges in modern time like if we're if we're moving from the notion of of what we just talked about the teams and environments being constantly fluid uh we see that okay so we need to create a space to be able to context which or we need to create a space where we're able to handle multiple uh value streams at one time on the other hand we also know that the human being is not made for context switching we know that context switching costs a lot every time we do that and of course if you think about this as an individual then you have to multiply it when you put it into team context because if we're context switching and doing multiple things at a time in a team context it costs even more because it also requires understanding in between us to be able to get an outcome from from every time we're switching to a new value track um I think you know there is a there is a core value that we we might have lost uh during the time in VI limits you know work in progress limits and how much things we are supposed to do at one time I think also there is a a strong value in in trying to um uh organize for chaos uh as I like to call it you know we have a solid structure where we keep an awareness uh to be able to be resilient in the face of change that things are going to change like that that's a constant that and that we know that that is happening so we need to kind of build that in in the system but I also think there should be a balance H sorry this is like a really consultant answer it's so much but and ifs and maybe but but there need to be a balance because otherwise we know that we won't finish anything what are you thinking yourself um well for me uh personally I feel in this kind of situation like with the four stages that a team can be in that you uh showed in one of the points earlier I think if a team has like a solid focus on one goal for example and diligently and consistently Works towards that then I think that team it would be easier for that team to move from stage one to stage four and become more mature uh and high performing than a team uh which has these sort of you know shifting of context uh all that it take it I I feel that it will take that kind of a team more time to become uh mature and high performing in that sense so I was just trying to like U uh to wrap my head around how can we strike a balance where the team is handling both addressing both that issue that okay if they need to do the contact switching they can handle it and at the same time they are also kind of progressing towards becoming more mature as a team in a very yeah I I think you're right and like like striking the balance that's kind of the key and I would like from a very practical standpoint just recommend to work really hard with retrospectives like and when you do the retrospectives you don't work only with what we have done and accomplished to realize how much change we can handle during one period of time but also how we are progressing as a team there's so many teams that are like a little bit too loose uh with the retrospectives nowadays I think you should like be a little bit more Str strict about that from the team needs at certain points of time like so this happened during this Sprint how this did it actually work for you um yeah I see so you're saying that individually we need to address that to the team members that how did it work for you in this Sprint or something like that I would do it in a group context with a retrospective after a period of time yeah both the what and the how yeah I see yeah thank luck tell me how it goes thank you thanks great thank you we have one more question if you have time uh it's from pontus maybe you would like to address it yourself yeah hello uh I was uh thinking about conflict handling or conflict resolution which I think is a very important thing with teams and do it structurally do you have any thoughts about that yes it's super important and this is something you want teams to be kind of self-sufficient in as well so you don't have to go for the external consultant pa um so uh in one of these cases that I actually had uh I uh I also I I I told you that I was providing them both co-creation of how to work as a team but also communicative tools for each session so this was part of one of these communicative tools how do we uh how do we work when we have different point point of views which you know the first stage of a conflict kind of uh and how can we become better at meeting each other when we're at that stages so I think this is something that uh gives so much return of invests to in invest in providing people with communicative tools to be able to solve their own differences both with self-awareness and and uh concrete ways of working with each other to get to that point um yeah that's my brief have one great um thank you thank you Ila it was very interesting listening to you so interesting that I did not really follow properly with the chat but I think it worked out one away so a big thank you uh I really like the three ladies and the resourcers uh and you put it together in a very nice uh setting and um uh vagan she was a little bit new to me but very interesting so I will definitely dwell into learning more about that concept um would you like to say something before we run no just I'm I'm happy if you would share an Insight in the chat box when you leave I hope I sparked some curiosity uh that's my main focus like if you become more Curious life will be funnier and feel free to add me on LinkedIn if you have any further Hot Topics that we can discuss because this is my top discuss thank you so much all of you for being here today great thank you everyone uh we will share the recording we will share uh Leila's presentations in a mail afterwards um we are already planned the next story from reality uh for March um no February sorry uh so I will uh shortly come back with more information about that uh so thank you for today thanks for attending us I say yes Lea please follow us on
