hXDR42d9WFo | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXDR42d9WFo | World Arm Wrestling Super Heavyweight Right Single Pulls 2015 | on this is Nick Zinner and Chris Chandler Nick Zinner comes to the final riding a wave of confidence after he blew through the regionals with the biggest upset berry to go Curtis Bayesian here it's walk through Chris Chandler early the Freak no opportunity to put the brakes on there look at that start and look at the emotion the aggression on the jayam farm boy full of emotion very strong man the man you referred to a moment ago as a 400-pound polar bear is up next there is Shawn Latimer strike a big threatened optimist weaker it's just with the wave and an impressive woman look at that rank of cooking in arm on arm she will not as comfortable on that right arm and a powerful move their pry kit and a big victory to move on we continue on this is mat Gertner and Chris Chandler we picked this up mid-match with a foul on gertner we are deep inside an enormous attack by the point Chris Chandler in the gray shirts riding for the path but Matt Girdler is wholly to the base the boys had strength of Gerner he's so impressive there but he's gonna need to get him so [ __ ] this much well he still has the opportunity what's the elbow link in a bubbling there should I get cool with dogs but would with the signal early it's where you're driving this way by I'm coming right up disappointment there as he tried to power back to the center no intention just couldn't base the elbow and you can see culvert above the pad two or three times there it appends the foul can he do it again so two fouls on Gertner one more he would lose the pull would indeed and he needs to run come on elbow down now we really didn't have the base on that but he's really riding his look at he drives to the side Chandler the freak that massive muscular arm try to pull the good old girl his elbow again miles of come on dude it's this high up you're in the contest in that but he really has no girls to do so I love Matt this crying guys a great competitor but his elbow was way were there miles of the back on a path disappointment figured so the victory goes to Chandler how about this matchup on the right side Beijing on the left his wife Casey looking on against Dave Chaffee this is an incredible potential matchup Travis bagent has made vast improvements on this right arm and he feels he can do something here Bayesian and give it a flower I believe for a jump start but wow that was calls a harsh decision from Charles this book no consequence for Beijing he felt what he needed to feel there and he will be looking for the same soup warmed over to try and get the strap again escaping Wow the Beast is aggressive and forecast here look at that he had trouble and control when that much slipped and Travis Beacham is a strap master he will love his chances here what an exciting prospect with the legs it'd make it No so from Chaffee cave honey please getting on the red one we take you Dean so he tries gay GP with the win rocks was intense Travis bagent was so close to creating the upset rule to the crowd as he anchored his elbow down I'm trying to break back Dave Chaffee what's an incredible war and how much damage has been done to both men there what a display of power between two great competitors and armwrestling and there is pagent icing down that right arm trying to get some relief from that incredible pole that he just endured right there with Dave Chaffee continuing on Wilton block and Shawn McIntyre some broth is a real sleeper in this weight division favors the left arm but this mum is just rock strong and he bases his elbow there sets the book that he's waiting waiting for sure McIntyre to make a move watching his epaulet carefully he'll attack on the wrap and there it is Wilton block now drives both had been successfully done he really executed that with strategic perfection Wilton brought foul nice position early and that was a master class of timing from Wilton Brock without question here we go now it's Travis Beijing on the left Jerry can arete on the right double elimination losers out I don't and Travis Bayesian washes laws the path you gel bow foul that was massive and Travis a using a little bit of that guy already possesses he knew that he was in trouble there any escape the match to get the restart kinda like Oh serving into the net in tennis he needs to be aware Jerry Calloway is a real dark horse here and cannot stop the mastic is all messed up agent Travis I mean just come off the back of a war maybe already burned in that area in Calloway driving falafel Jerry kyuret has executed an incredible boo back he was busted wide open in terms of the wrist on ham but he can win ugly honey t South Travis bagent with a tricep press region is eliminated in the most dramatic of fashions gave such a good account of himself full of no consequence and he's put out early here in Vegas whoever got that match whoever lost that match was out we knew it but the winner but when it could be in trouble too though I don't I don't think Dave's got as much in his tank now I think that Jerry or Nick probably have a new champ but we'll see so Travis agents dream of to wall hammers is over world arm wrestling championships are brought to you by the world arm wrestling league for more

AOrV70IVccc | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOrV70IVccc | Coronavirus Damaging Stock Market, Banks and Finance | but the Fed is doing a lot more than just cutting interest rates a lot more yeah and the interesting thing to me about the Fed and I remember actually commenting on this and not knowing what the answer was but months ago the Fed started intervening into the repo markets into the repurchase markets and repurchase markets of these very short-term markets with people where companies not individuals but companies and basically put up Treasuries as collateral this goes to the liquidity issue that Rob was talking about put up they have to say so let's say I'm a corporation and I've got a bunch of Treasuries I've got a bunch of bonds in my in my portfolio in my fault or whatever okay and but I need cash I don't want the Treasuries I need cash so what I can do is I can go into the markets called the repo market and I can lend my Treasury to another party and they give me the cash and then it can use their cash to pay taxes to pay payroll to pay suppliers to do whatever things I need for the cash and I remember in the fall there was this day so the interest rates in this market are very very low because you've got collateral which is a government bond and usually get paid back less than two weeks it could be a day it could be overnight it could be a week it could be two weeks so it's very short-term loan highly collateralized and yet on a day I can trigger the month but but in the fall interest rates went to 10% and the Fed immediately intervened with like 50 billion dollars and started pouring money started participating so basically it was the one accepting the Treasury ain't giving out the money right Eleni got the money and right now by the way it's doing it at the tune of 1.5 trillion dollars right it's basic supplying liquidity at one point four trillion dollars now this isn't just money going into the economy because they get it back but if they keep doing this it is a 1.5 new trillion dollars in economy now so this is in the fall and I remember saying to people in the fall this has to be a signal that something is crazy in the market my speculation at the time was that certain banks we're trying to borrow in the overnight market and other banks didn't want to give the money because they were afraid they would default and I think the primary bank at the time there was suspect was Deutsche Bank European banks of a disaster have been a disaster really since 2008 but suddenly since the Greek financial crisis and people just didn't want to lend money George banks so they were driving interest rates way up and you can't you can't always tell who your counterparty is so it's hard to unwind these anyway the Fed intervened but it was already suspect because why does it need to intervene you know you know banks have a lot of liquidity on the books wait and the books there's a lot of liquidity so why is the Fed intervening and and I think that was the first indication not of coronavirus but something was going to happen sooner rather than later and that and now we're seeing of course all of that on steroids where the Fed is basically committed to providing liquidity in every sector of the economy and and there are people arguing that the Fed should be allowed now to buy corporate bonds stocks yeah everything to provide liquidity to every market that would be interesting to say the least but that would be an unmitigated disaster if they do that long term short term it will feel great long term will be unmitigated disaster but so far they just started buying a municipal bonds that's the latest that device they buy now Treasuries u.s. bonds in other words government bonds they're buying mortgage-backed securities and they're buying more immunise municipality and notice what that does that lowers the cost of buying for city governments who probably can't afford to run their programs and the Fed basically were doing a massive bailout implicitly of all these cities and counties that didn't plan for something like this yeah I mean I think the muni bond market crashed by the most since 1981 this is the headline I saw but on top of that few programs you left out you're on money market funds they announced a program to support money market funds and then also commercial paper to buy commercial paper to support so that sort erm who is what's that well that's what commercial paper is oh yeah commercial paper is basically short-term loans to operation so it can be from 30 to 90 days typically and so corporations would issue this to get short-term loans to you know pay for inventory that they're gonna sell within 30 to 90 days maybe you know meet bills that are you know coming to you sooner than they get the revenues for them and so on but you know here's one thing though is when you have ultra low short-term interest rates and longer-term rates are higher so if short-term rates are zero and long-term rates are three or four percent you know maybe a lot of corporations are gonna issue short-term paper to build a factory or do some kind of long-term investment because you can save yourself a lot of money that way so as a result to get in this illiquid position where all the sudden they can't borrow the money they need anymore that you want to keep rolling over these short-term commercial paper loans to fund their long-term investments all of a sudden they can't they don't have the money to pay them back the market starts to collapse and then the fed to the rescue okay so one of the parallels then with 2008 so 2008 it was the Fed started doing things that people never imagined that the Fed would do and so you're saying now in this one they're doing even more new things that they've never done before in in the face of this yeah one of the important differences is in 2008 some people objected they were voices the same way wait a minute these and youth you know you don't know nobody's objecting now there's no voices out there saying no they should sit it out they should or they should do something different everybody basically is on this train of the only hope we have is that the Fed does more liquidy moremore yeah exactly so we again dulls our senses there's a real sense and this is I guess an epistemological point I mean there's a real sense in which our scope of thinking keeps shrinking every crisis and people become more complacent more tuned with intervention and the mixed economy and authoritarianism it's the point you made about Trump's election it's it's it's its it just it just constantly reinforces this this dulling of the brain of dulling of the mind I mean I think one sense dulling of the mind is that nothing bad has happened so far so you know back in 2008 people were complaining because it's okay you're doing these radical monetary actions and policies which you'll seem pretty extreme and have to have bad consequences but 1012 years later there's we still have not seen the bad consequences at least they've been under the surface and they're starting to come to light now but everybody thinks oh it did great it saved us in 2008 it caused the economy to recover and we had an amazing economy in stock market for the last ten years so it worked now so they don't they don't connect what's happening now to the fact that that's the unwinding of all the things the Fed was doing before so so the first thing the Fed the first thing the Fed has done is they've reactivated all the programs that they did initiate in 2008 so like the money market fund was something that did in 2008 the the quantitative easy and is something that they started in 2008 and so on so but now they are doing new stuff like the muni bond stuff is something new but I think you're right all the voices are now pushing them to do more so you bailouts muni bonds now you know backstop you know Treasury repos and so on and so but you're again because they think it works you know another thing is people thought it would cause inflation even the Fed thought it would cause inflation or at least there was a good chance it would in fact they've been trying to cause inflation for the last ten years and failing and not sure why they're failing here we mean price inflation we story yeah price inflation yeah yeah so you're people worried about that in 2008 that didn't happen for some reason which I don't understand and the Fed doesn't understand even so it seems like it doesn't cause any bad the same with deficit financing so don't you the government can can borrow you know 30-year bonds got as low as 0.7 percent yield last week now they've jumped back up to 1.7 percent for 30 years but I mean that's just an astonishingly low yield for 30 years so yeah we're already running trillion-dollar deficits of US budget deficit was already a trillion dollars going into this and now you know they're gonna be doing I think I think the headline a couple hours ago said the stimulus package is now a two trillion the Congress is voting on well the British did the equivalent to three trillion and the day the Dutch in Denmark they've just done to an eight or the equivalents in the US what would be two and a half trillion okay yeah it's incredible equivalent size of GDP yeah yeah so they think they can as much as they want and yields don't go up and inflation isn't going up and so on so they think they can do all these things and there will be no bad consequences and they think it will help so I mean that's the kind of dulling of the sense of it so it will cause bad things down the road but nobody understands that or connects with that so and it already has right so so while there was no inflation and there were no crashes and the economy seemed to be doing okay the economy only did okay right so from 2009 on the economy has grown including under the greatest economy in all of human history Trump it only grew at around two percent which is pathetic truly pathetic in terms of economic growth I think I saw this statistics once if the United States had grown between I don't know 1890 and and 1981 percentage less per year during that period we today would be proven in Mexico one percentage compounded is huge so the fact that we only grew a two percent versus three percent historical growth or four percent of five percent potential growth who knows maybe six or seven percent I don't know what the upside potential is of a truly free market that is the real cost you know even without this crisis the cost is the fact that there was no growth and then that there was probably more growth in areas where we didn't really need it right and no growth maybe for example in hospital beds in areas where we didn't need it because you know I don't know one of the reasons we don't have hospital beds is because of regulation and because of cost-cutting dictated by Medicare Medicaid so you know maybe private hospitals like pretty bad would have more beds so all of that is unseen this goes back to economics in one lesson by hazlit it's the unseen that is important in economics and yet nobody wants to see them see nobody and I mean just I don't know if this gets too far away from where you want to go Walker but just to throw this on the pile too in terms of consequence it's the last ten years it's been brutal for anybody on a fixed income yeah so with zero percent interest rates and you can't afford to take a lot of risk because you're 80 years old so you can't put all your money in the stock market and you know hope that is higher twenty years from now you need a fixed income that you can count on this low-risk but you can't get that because interest rates are so low so that's been brutal for people trying to live on a fixed income and not take undue risks it's hard for people who are saving for retirement if you can't get decent yields on bonds so they have to put all their money in the stock market instead and hope for the best now that's crashing and who knows where that's going to go to raid on the point where the baby boomers are reaching peak retirement age then your pension funds an insurance funds have been suffering for the last 10 years because they build in a certain assumption about what kind of yield they're gonna get on bonds which has not been anywhere close to being realized so insurance funds are you know finding their portfolios or in rough shape pension funds are way underfunded and now they're gonna be even more underfunded with a stock market 30% lower so I mean it's a you know one one thing that I saw about a year or two ago the Illinois's which is one of the worst in terms of pension pension underfunding the public pension the treasurer issued something like ten billion dollars of bonds municipal bonds so that she could take that money and put it into the pension fine to put in stocks because she could issue bonds at a few percent and then stocks yo would made ten or twenty percent a year so that was her plan for you're getting the Pension Fund back on a sound footing and I thought okay that's gonna be a disaster of course and here we are so now it's gonna you know the Illinois pension funds can be even worse off that was yeah and to reinforce what you just said it's not just the alona pension fund I'm sure a lot of 80 year olds seeing yields and bonds so low seeing what was happening in stock market shifted a portfolios into stocks absolutely I know I know that a pension plans insurance companies endowments all went way more in stocks than they should have yeah because there was no yielding so this is called yield chasing and you see they're finding some office all the time people are willing to buy ridiculous stuff just to get a little bit more yield and and take on huge risk and of course the consequence of that is what we're experiencing right now a lot of these people are gonna be wiped out and many of these pension plans and insurance companies were already underfunded before this now we're gonna be hopelessly underfunded and you know who knows that where that leaves us in the short run and in the long run yeah especially with the largest segment of the United States population hitting retirement age right now what we need today what I call the new intellectual would be any man or woman who is willing to think mean any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason by the intellect not by feelings wishes whims or mystic revelations any man or woman who balances life and who does not get one to give in to today's cult of despair cynicism and impotence and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist vote using the super Chad

TRBL_v0MBtM | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRBL_v0MBtM | IMT3673 - Android Animations, Widgets, Haptics and Gestures | alright the animator in game development or maybe you're in the movie industry and you've kind of worked with animation there they just have to cover but for today I think it's important to just focus on what is animation or how is animation relevant for Android as I've talked about and my previous lectures and under development we really must focus on user experience and user friendliness and this is exactly where animations come into play in Android development this is because animations can add visual cues but notified users about what's going on in your app you're especially useful for when the US states changed and also for someone new content loads or new actions become available and they can also add this polished look to your app and that makes me more feel more like hired quality and have a better feel to it and and now I realize that I'm sorry coding so I'll start recording so I own a despondent thanks yeah yeah so personally I think animations are really important but they're only just thought of as sprinkles that you can add to your app at the end of the development process and this is often also leading to that people just don't put them in because what ends up happening is that once you get to the end of your development process you run out of time or you have so many features and you just want to crunch in that you end up discarding the ones that you considered to be less important um but animations really contribute to the usability of your applications so that's why you should kind of put them in as you go and also like um be more agile and try to just put it in without and not leave them to the end and that really goes for a lot of UI elements personally I start when I start making an app I start by making the UI and then I add the content to it but like we're all different but just try to make it put in there somewhere yes so animations really contribute to the usability of your application because they can help establish a sort of spatial model so that when you use the app you can have a sense of place within that location and also they can help hint give hints to the user as to how they can interact with your app so under it includes different animation it api's depending on what type of animation that you want so here you can see a list of different api's that are links I put some links in here to the relevant documentation let's based on your needs so for example we have a different API for animating drawables for changing or animating the UI visibility or emotion you if you want to put some physics in there we have physics based motion and animating layout changes animating between activities so pretty much as you can see if there are so many things that you can animate in Android and there are also some other ApS that you can use but for today I'll just cover these ones so when you want to animate a bitmap or such as an icon or illustration you should use the drawable animations API usually these animations are a defined static leave like that you have a drawable resource in your resource folder but you can also define the animation behavior at runtime so we have an example here to the right where you enemy a button a play button and then when you click it it transforms to a pause button and this is really nice because it communicates to the user that the two actions are related and then you know like when you pause then actually starts it pauses your video for example or if you play then any kid starts gonna start playing again so there's a lot of communication going on here between your app the technology and the user so under it provides a couple of options for animating grubbles and one of them is called animation drawable and this class and this allows you to specify several static drawable class so if you have some draw balls in your space in this folder you can use them and then they will be displayed one at a time to create an animation sort of like the bouncing ball that we saw at the beginning of the lecture another option is to use something called a animated vector drawable which lets you animate the properties of a vector drawable but vectors can be kind of hard to understand and they're very math like so I'll just focus on the animation drawable for today but of course if you're interested in learning more about animations then you should feel free tips for the second one by yourself so then the question is how do we use animation trouble so one way is to load a series of drawable resources one after another to create the animation just like how you traditionally do it and and because this is played in order it will show the nice animation so the animation Drobo is the class that is the basis for draw animation and you use this class api to define the frames of an animation through your codes where a frame is one picture or you know you've heard term frames per second so you kind of get but and the simplest and easiest way to do this is to create an XML file sorry like this one where you list the frames that make up the animation so the frame in this case is a drawable resource and because it's an XML file and you're going to use it with draw bones you should put it in the resources flush draw a directory inside your android project so this is for an example of how the XML file can look like and as you can see we have this object here called animation list and it has several items here or children called atoms and each item defines the frame so this is one frame or one drawable we can see that the draw ball is a rocket thrust so just by looking at the naming commission here we see that the animation is about a rocket and and we can also see that a contest through children meeting there are three frames and we have this attribute here called one shot and and it's set to true and that means that it will cycle the animation just once and then it will stop with the last frame so when it stops it will just display the last frame either if you put this one too fast then it's going to loop the animation continuously and the if you do that you also want to make sure that the last frame kind of flows nicely with the first frame and also yeah I can see here the duration is 200 so you can change the rate direction to have like different lengths and I don't make make it work with whatever drawable you have [Music] so let's have a look at how this would work and a sample activity and so first we're going to create a variable for the animation drama here and then we're gonna go down here because this is just on create and then this is where it just happens and we're gonna find this image view by the it's my rocket image we're making a rocket animation and then we're gonna find a background resource and set it and this is gonna be it at the background in the background resource it's gonna be the XML file that we created here so we're just going to set this one as a background resource and in order for this example to work we're going to make sure that the XML file must be saved as rocket thrust and then in order to make this animation play we're gonna have to write a rocket animation dot start and that starts might start animation and so what's important to note here is that this start method can only um cannot so it cannot be called in oncreate and that's why we put it inside this set onclicklistener and this is because the animation Drobo has not been fully attached to the window inside your application yet and when you put it in this onclick listener it will build and be attached and work on the user input so therefore if you want to play the animation immediately without any user interaction then you should call it not inside on create but the on start method in the activity and because the on start function gets called when the Android makes the view visible on screen after everything has attached to it yes so ah to the next one and this is for when you're gonna animate UI visibility and motion so when you need to change the visibility or position of use in your layout you should try to include some little animation I'm sorry I got a question so yeah on start you cannot ask so on start rather than I'll create it's true so yes if you want to make the application play without user interaction you should put it in on start if you want it to be in a listener so that one user presses a button then you can put it in on create inside a listener I'm not sure how this okay yeah I'm just gonna read the question so in case people watching the recordings not get this um this view are data binding instance where you want to put the code for the animation I'm not really sure how did your data binding would affect that mario's or software are you guys do you guys know anything about this so usually the the viewer data bindings are used for the content of the of the fields if you using that for the presentation layer then I'm not sure yeah how would you combine it with animations yeah I would need to check it out same here I'm not sure what how the interaction would be I mean fundamentally it really depends on how you want to model an author kind of DB presentation right assumptions about sequential execution as outlined already right so it's the difference between your own great on start but you would similarly probably need to chain your data binding accordingly for example if you want to end you have an animation first and then display your data linking to that would be intuition yeah considering that all three of us are not sure about this is probably not relevant as you know said so yeah yeah if you guys have any questions just ask you know I notice them as soon as you've read them anyways back to you our visibility yeah so you you're gonna want to use subtle animations to help to use her understand how and like why I do use that the UI is changing um so if you want to move or hide or reveal and use that you have within your current layout and you can use something called a property animation system which is provided through the Android animation package and what is what this package does is that it provides an API that updates the properties of your view objects over a period of time and they continuously redraw the view whenever the properties changed so for example if you change the position property so the where the UI element is position then the you can move across the screen or if you change the Alpha property which is related to whether it's miscible or not so it's a value of one or serum I think and you can change so that the view fades in or out and if you want to create these animations with the least amount of effort that you can enable animations on your layout so that when you simply change the visibility of a view the animation is going to be applied automatically and so when you use the property animation system you can define the following characteristics of the animation so first you can change the duration meaning that you specify how long the duration is going to last I think the default length is about 300 milliseconds that I'm not really sure I don't remember it's ugly numbers you can also change time interpolation which is specifying the values for the property and how they're calculated as a function based on the animations currents a lot you can change the repeat count and behavior meaning that you can specify whether or not to have the animation repeat itself when it reaches the end and how many times you want to repeat the animation or if you want it to just continue playing maybe you want it to be played back in Reverse so if you is worth noting that if you set it to reverse when you play the animation forwards and then backwards repeatedly then it's just gonna go on like that until the number of repeats is reached you also can change the animator set and which means that you can group your animations into logical sets that will play together sequentially or after certain delays and you can also pan set frame refreshed really and which will specify how often the frames of your animation will refresh and the default here I think it's done those lights so now it's time to wonder how this property animation actually work so I'm just gonna start by explaining this with a simple example here you can see an example of a linear animation which is animated based on the x value here which is representing the horizontal location on the screen and then we have the duration which is T and for some reason the Google drag always auto capitalizes my letters so it's a big T here and a small one here but this indicates the direction so total here is 14 milliseconds and you can see that the X which is location is changing by 40 pixels and every 10 seconds it moves 10 pixels so a linear because it changes the same amount each time like it moves at a constant eat and then at the end of the 40 milliseconds the animation will stop and the object and at the position X which is free and yeah and that's just basically example of an animation with linear interpolation and then let's take a look at another example which is a nonlinear animation meaning that the object is not move at a constant speed like this one and you can see here that the time elapsed is the same like you have 0 10 20 30 40 so it's the same but if you pay attention to the x value here like Y increases with 10 each one but here it plays the same but it changes at a difference like it's not living her and because what ends up happening here is that the object will accelerate at the beginning of the animation and then you sell the rate at the end and looks are like two different ways that you have like examples but you can enemy and so I thought another one type of animation that you could have or in your project or that is nice ANOVA is physics based motion and I think maybe some of you will be exposed to physics in the graphics course and you know how important it is to make something and where we have real-world like and that's why you should always in your animations try to apply real-world physics to make that animation look natural pretty much for example your applications Blizzard your animations should maintain a certain momentum so when their target changes as you can see here it will have a smooth transition and you can tell that the left it's not as smooth as this one for example and to encourage this behavior you have an Android poor library which includes physics based animation night guys and this API realized on the loss of specifics to control how this animation occurs the thing is that animations that are not based on physics will end up looking very study and have a fixed duration and then if the target value changes like us to the left here then you need to cancel the animation at the time the value changes reconfigure the animation with a new value and then in new values the new start value and then add the new target value as you can see but it kind of cancels here and it looks kind of weird and as you can see this creates is really weird abrupt stop in animation and it has a like disjointed data moving afterwards so doesn't look that nice but on the other hand if you have a look at this one to the right this one has this one is an animation with the physics based animation API which is for example called a dynamic animation API is easy sure and then it's driven by four so yeah it's physics based and here at the change in the target value will therefore result in a change in force and then the new force applies on the existing velocity which makes it a continuous transition to the new target and not like this abrupt one to the left and what ends up happening is that this results in a very natural-looking animation looks very smooth so I always try to aim for this one to the right if you notice like it is weird abrupt animation in your app so another really relevant thing to consider animating is layout changes on Android above API level 19 or Android 4.4 you can use the transition framework to create animations where so for when you swap the layout with the current activity or fragment so everything you need to do is that you have to specify which layout is the starting layout and what layout is the ending layout and then of course what type of animation you want to use between them or when they're transitioning and then the system figures out and execute this animation and then you can just use this to swap out the entire UI or just replace them use for example as this one has a really nice and professional-looking animation going on in this example you can see that when the user taps an item to see more information then it just changes the entire UI and Chris this transition from one layout to the other one so um earlier in the semester I did mention material design and at that point I talked more about like how I can use it for designing your UI and creating like this persistent look across all your devices and all of that but it's also nice to know that the material design guide also has some great tools for best practices regarding animations and motions within your application and this is gonna put this out here that I'm gonna go back to material design quite a lot during this lecture because they have guys and everything and I find them to be good so let's have a look here so based on the material design guide there are three principles based animations so the first one is that your animation should be informative so I'll just leave this out because who's gonna read it if I don't so then sign in front users by highlighting relationships between elements actions availability and action accounts and should be focused so you should focus on what's important don't have unnecessary distractions should be expressive which can express ample Express a brand style you don't want animations that don't fit with your general brand so let's have a look at some things that they say is good hierarchy for example as you can see here these the animations to see that the mail or message pops up from the inbox so this creates the sort of hierarchy where you have a parent element and a child element and looks professional you can see that it guides the user to what's coming they can say they can tell that they by clicking on the message turns them to like seeing the whole thing so it's very like user friendly this way of doing it and also here this motion of that when you press the button but you get this slowly feeling of that menu popping up is really nice and here you can see that there's also a relationship between the different tops and just simply adding in an animation here makes it flow more and makes it more professional looking for brand expression I found this to be really nice because this is for a recipe you think and you want it to be kind of flowy it's not it wouldn't fit if you had some other animation that would be too hard she wanted to be smooth and very easy for this for the user to just easily find what recipes or what information they need about the recipe so there are many like different things that you look at here for animations with video examples of like adding meeting this one it's really nice if the luck changes you can tell it that it's gonna look something something so yeah you guys can have a further look I'll come back to material design mastery so yes let's continue as basically what makes a good animation and gonna give some shout out to Christopher here I stole this from the lecture slides last year but it's really important to remember that the animations should act as like official glue and the music should have the user to know where to look and what to pay attention to when they're using your application and guiding themselves through the content but at the same time it's important that the animation does not make up for the content itself because if you had enough where there are only animations in it but no actual content I mean like who would end up using that app in the end and then when you're choosing what animation will be the right for your app you should try to not make the animation something that could be potentially annoying to the user like if you're constantly animating things just for animating them well and it takes up like too much space or the user gets disrupted I mean that would just be annoying as well um and then when you use an animation for navigational purposes you should consider what direction and level of if you consider like different layouts of your application you should know which one you want to use so to focus on and of course you don't want to end up wasting the users time because users generally have some sort of expectation - how much time somebody will take and if they have to wait a lot they often get annoyed and can't be bothered to use your application for example if you download an app and you have tons of ads in it and you have to watch a 30-second videos everything you're gonna do in the ass like you pretty much gonna delete that up and find a better ones it's the same with animations like you don't want to use waste the users time if so that was everything about animations for today I just wondering if you guys have any questions to that part now is the time to ask before I start on widgets [Music] well you guys see seem good in the chat so if accordance pop up I'm gonna answer them later well anyways next topic is widget which is are an essential aspect of how you will customize your homescreen and your phone um and you can kind of imagine them as a preview or a tag on it's kind of view of that important data and functionality that an apt chance provide and the clue with riches is that it's going to be accessible right from the user's home screen and it is are really nice because users can move them across their home screen panels and you know they can resize them or some phones allow for resizing at least and then they kind of design their whole other home screen around like what which is they want to have to their preference and it's important that if if you plan on making a widget just think about what kind of widget you're trying to build and generally we have like a different types of widgets here and that we're going to go through today just so you guys um know what which ones are there which ones could you consider so the first one is information widgets come and then you have collection images control witches and hybrid widgets and the first one is that we've got to go through is the information widget and the thing about information which is is that it typically only display like a few crucial pieces of information and then these are typically also very important to you sir or maybe they track certain information that the user would want in their home screen and kind of try to follow along too for example this one is a weather application what we did you can see that it does not really show anything but what's most essential so if any of you have watched like videos on YouTube about minimalism and like this Marie Kondo like the whatever spark jorik thing you know that it's all about finding the most important stuff and then getting rid of all the clutter and that's pretty much what you're gonna be thinking if you're making widgets like this because you want to extract everything that makes adds the most value so in this case of a weather application the widget should just contain okay what is it what's the temperature you should probably mention where you're trying this and then you can display like small text but like essentially you could simplify this to the Sun and the degrees if you wanted to make it really simple and then you can also other types of we did that fall into this category it could be clock widget sports score trackers and then pretty much like what ends up happening is but if the user touches this app or sorry this widget it was gonna launch that associated up and then open a more detailed view meaning that if this is information that it's not sufficient enough they can top it and then open the actual app to get more details but this is a nice just at a glance I need to know what what weather it is today without going into my apps finding the app and then going through all the tabs and everything like this is just really nice gives you some information another type of we did is called the collection widget and as the name says or applies a collection widget pretty much just displays a collection of things so you have a collection of pictures or collection of articles or you can have like collections of emails pretty straight - straight to the point but um the use case for the collection we did is that you're going to browse the collection and then you can open a specified item so for example here you can just scroll through and then find the message from Alex and Daniel you open it and these are the most recent ones so you don't have to go into your messaging app or your inbox and you as I mentioned these widgets can scroll vertically so they're nice for organizing these you also have the control widget which is for displaying typically use functions that the user can just change and trigger from the home screen without going to their settings or opening an app first so it's kind of like a remote control for the app without having to opening that um and typical examples for this are music we did where you can play pause or skip music or songs are not actually going into that I guess if you want to make like an audiobook app as well you could make a widget for controlling that and then we have the hybrid widget and this one as it as you can tell by the name it's going to be a hybrid making it a mix of the previous types that I've talked about and it seems like most widgets tend to gravitate towards the ones like to being either one of the three that I just mentioned but you can also find like a lot of these hybrids that combines song and so my advice to you guys if we're gonna make a hybrid is to try to base your widget based on one of the other three types and then you should add elements to it as you need so try to try to pinpoint what are the most important elements and what are you trying to assist the user with and so an example here is a music player again and as as we talked about in the previous slide the music widget can help by controlling what what song is currently playing and so it's a control widget but at the same time it also displays information so it's kind of also this information widget by displaying what song is currently play so we just are generally like mini apps we could say and and there are some few limitations considering that they which is live on the home screen and there's a lot of different things going on on the home screen see how like these buttons down here you have like more buttons here are navigational ones and pretty much the fact that they're gonna have to compete with all the other things and just the whole architecture of the home screen it's gonna limit what support is available for each other and what serve desperate studies can put into it compared to if it was a full full-size app that you were inside um some apps for example they support a view picture and this one can allow users to navigate between screens but this this motion of swiping between screens does not work in a home screen because it's already kind of taken off by this whole purpose of navigating between the whole panel so if you were to swipe between this one changing from this so another one then you cannot use juster for the widget itself and that means the only gestures that are left for widgets are touch and vertical sweat and because there's this limitation on distress I guess some of the UI building blocks that will rely on more more advanced gestures will not be available for witches um but then you guys realize that it's just a small thing you're gonna have to make the best out of it and as I said the summary just tried to compromise as much information the most essential information into the widget yep next topic which I think you guys can put into your assignment - it's gonna be a haptic feedback which is also known as optics so I'll go into this for about five minutes and then we can have a break at the regular time so yeah what is hot pick feedback and haptics it's like one way that you can use touch to communicate with users so I think a lot of you will be familiar with vibration you get in your phone if you got any text message or someone's calling or something is going on you can find out this vibration thing but also sometimes while you're playing video games on your game folder you're gonna get this sort of rumble feeling and that's pretty much like sonic sound is of half of the feedback but the thing is though patek feedback is so much more than that and so generally a few months have five senses and but our technology and devices they only communicate with us using two of them primarily these ones are sight because we look at the screen hearing by listening to notification sound or video playing through the device and it's all a through hearing but this is where haptic feedback comes in because it stimulates this of touch not only can you touch your computer or device now but this haptic feedback actually allows the computer or your phone or handheld controller to touch you back and so that means is a kind of mode of communication rather than just some sort of technology and it's becoming this new way for machines and humans to communicate that wasn't come be used before so for example if you're using your Android phone and then you talk whenever the bad news or you're writing on the keyboard and then it vibrates a bit that's one example of tactics at work so when we think about Android phones they're pretty much just this square piece of plastic you have this sheet of glass that's just smooth there's not much going on I mean like all the buttons they're not really physical buttons it's just glass so it's nice to have this haptic feedback to register and give some feedback to our fingers that something is going on because okay I don't know if you can hear this but if I'm touching this key keyboard you're good that's one sort of feedback and then if I'm touching or clicking on the mouse here you can hear that like I can give feedback that I'm typing or I'm touching the mouse and I get this audible like a sort of feedback from my hardware but on the smartphone because it doesn't really have that hardware to provide that to us I'm just going when I'm pressing stuff I'm pretty much is waiting for feedback and waiting for something to happen and that's where it's really nice to put in have this because this short and light vibration that you get when you type out your message with that with the keyboard can really make a huge difference to a lot of people because they get the or mobile technology version of the hardware I think but actually what I come to be quite interesting is that when I was researching these slides I actually found that based on 32 thousand voters 59 percent voted that they didn't use any half sticks at all and this is only for Android oh so that made me kind of curious what do you guys think you guys use it can you write in the chat do you guys use it or not and then we can have a little discussion what do you guys think about your phone ride vibrating when you're writing you find anyway so we have young good night ready is Planeteers you stuff chopsticks and then seems like most people okay some people find it useful um you know says it's a good idea to have it for our blind people and cetera and I think that's that's really true can give more feedback to the people who need this sort of Zeus's but yeah I see it's up to you now so let's have a break let's say until 10 past so you guys can have a stretch do some squats go outside like just enjoy some Sun break okay and then I'll come back at ten past [Music] you let's continue our break a little bit by watching a video so you guys can listen to someone else talking not only just me so we're just gonna see if you guys can hear it the video I don't know if I'm gonna have to turn on some share from Peter song okay just let me know if it's like too loud or anything hey everyone my name is Claire I'm Tyler today we're going to talk about advanced haptics api including when to use what to use and how to use so you want to add haptic effects for your app and you found this two constants plus haptic feedback constants and vibration effect but you may still have questions like so what's the difference between these two or what should I use for my app we are here to answer your question first if you're working on very specific UI element with specific input event such as keyboard for typing or button for clicking then haptic feedback constants is a good place to start assuming that you're working on button then it comes with a click event then just remember one thing the reason that you want to have haptic feedback for click event is in general to simulate the behavior of the physical heart button which mostly come with a pairwise interaction model of pressing and releasing just remember the pairwise interaction of press and release and go find your haptic constants for example for a keyboard you can find keyboard press and keyboard release effect for any other clickable element you can also find another pair such as virtual key and virtual key release then what about gesture haptic for gesture is usually happening like dual fashion while I apply my gesture I want to feel haptic we call these types of effect as haptic texture haptic texture is recommended to be subtle yet crisp because it has to be repeated very quickly so think about the clock app along the clock UI you want to apply gesture your set time to set time and then you want to deliver haptic texture to represent the virtual tick mark under your finger similarly when you drag the blue text handler in the text view left and right when the selected area is changing by letter or word you want to deliver haptic texture to represent the change to support these types of interaction we predefined constants called clock tick and text handle move so now assuming that you know which constants to use in this case virtual key and virtual key release then the next step is to call those constants by perform haptic feedback and you're good to go now there's another API the vibration effect API and that's through the vibrator service and this API you want to use when you care more about like the strength of the haptic happening rather than more the semantic meaning or like the gesture involved with it the other advantage to this API is you can use it without a view so haptic feedback constants require a view but this you can call on a background service you know in case you're trying to notify the user without at UI so the basic starting in haptic we have is effect click this is kind of a medium strength haptic very crisp a nice feeling on modern devices so we recommend you use that if you want a lighter haptic feel you can use effect tic and for a stronger more intense haptic you can use effect heavy click there's also effect double-click which is just two clicks but one after another and using this is pretty easy you just call vibration effect create pre-baked and then you pass it the constant of the effect you want to use there's also a way that you can define your own custom waveform and this is - if you want to create your own like custom haptic which is pretty cool so in this example we have basically a waveform that looks you see this image down here that's kind of what we're trying to make but basically you pass this function create waveform an array of timings and array of amplitudes so we're gonna start out with a full strength vibration which is amplitude of 255 for 100 milliseconds and then we're going to pause for 200 milliseconds that's the amplitude of 0 and then we're going to do a half strength vibration for 300 milliseconds so you can see that in these arrays and you get what's down in the corner there if you want to feel these for yourself on a new pixel for come find us upstairs in the afternoon we have a demo app you can try out all the constants and make your own waveforms and if you have any questions or future requests for future haptics please come talk to us as well summary of that video is that you pretty much have these constants that you can use and because haptics are vibrations pretty much you can use the vibrator again everything to make your phone vibrate and as they showed you can create your own and do those waves where you can set how much you wanted to rest for before it starts vibrating at like different levels so there's a lot of like cool things that you can do there to assimilate some sort of feedback to the user that couldn't be conveyed the same way through sound or officials and that's normal going back to our good old friend material design they also have like these really cool guys for what you're one you should use so like if you think back to when you're using your own phone and they typically provide on the top and click and also you can provide like some sort of feedback if you press about me for a long time also really nice for when you want to grab the users attention so for alarms and reminders notification incoming calls are and success dates so generally whenever you want to catch the attention try to put in some vibration there and then you can I can make this up as guys talked about in the chat seems like a nice app and then you can pair it with audio and video and generally just look at this this one is important you don't want unpleasant ones because it's all about having user experience good to be good and focus on yeah the users needs not us I talked about what the animations you don't want to go crazy because if you annoy the user they'll just delete your app and you don't want them to do that so on to the next one which is gestures and the last topic I'm gonna be talking about today so Android provides some special types of touchscreen events and three gestures that are for example DoubleTap scrolling long presses pinching and all of these go under the umbrella sound like gestures and you probably like used some of them before for example if you're on Google Maps and you need to zoom in then you do this like you use both your fingers kind of zoom in and then you can zoom out as well or scrolling through things or yeah you should be familiar with this so as always under it has a lot of different EPS that you can use to create and the tech gestures in your app and however your app should not depend solely on touch gesture support basic behaviors and this is because and some gestures may not be able available to all users and all contact and you may have people with some that cannot use it because maybe they have some physical fears or something but some touch based interaction to your app can definitely increase the usefulness and overall just professionality [Music] so a touch gesture occurs when you when you are the user I guess you're a user as well place one or more fingers on the touch screen and what happens is that your application interprets the pattern of touches as a particular gesture and their tube faces and gesture detection and is gathering data about the touch event and also interpreting the data to see if it needs a serve criteria for um any of the gestures that your app supports so when your application starts gathering data your so I'll imagine that you place one or more fingers on the screen and when you touch the phone this triggers something called the untouchable on the viewer that you touch and then for each sequence of sequence of commands so maybe you put some extra pressure or you added another finger or if you move your finger around on the screen and that will eventually be identified as a gesture and anti-japan can be fired several times and the desert soft starts the moment the user first touches the screen and then the system will continuously track the position of the finger as it moves around the screen and the gesture ends when the finger is been released or leaving the screen pretty much and throughout this whole interaction just placement of the fingers on the screen something called a motion event is delivered to on touch women and this motion event provides details about every interaction that goes on on the screen and then your app can use the data provided by the motion event to determine what happened on the skier what Jess you're having and then should you care or not pretty much so here is some example code and that we're going to actually do what I'd be honest because this code is from the documentation on I realized is that this is defecated but we'll do that I'll deal with that in the example in Android studio and what happens here is that we have pretty much a switch which is called when so switch on the action and based on the action you will log to the user what's happening and so enough cannot spends much time looking at this code now because we'll do that bit after but I'll just go through the different constants that you can see so you pass in the event and then instant event looks it so you have action down move off cancel outside for this example the most important ones for but I'm going to show you are gonna be the first ones but yes so as I said the destory starts when you press the finger on the screen and that's called action down so a press gesture historian and the motion contains the initial starting location so any a gesture it kind of notices where on the screen you touch and then cause the action down and then as you move your finger across the screen or fingers and it will recognize that a change has happened during a press district so as I said it starts when you get action down and then it ends when you have actually up so move is in between so and then once you release the finger it will call this action up and it will say about the gesture itself has finished you also have the action cancel which will say that the gesture has been aborted an action next side which will indicate that the movement happened outside of the UI element that you're listening to so let's open up Android studio here and I don't know if you guys have been using logging I know I helped some of you guys in the laps with locks so I'll go through that today as well yep okay so someone asked can you give an example of canceled I guess if something happened with the system so that it does like interrupts to hold event when I've been testing this I haven't managed to get it to cancel so if Myers or Christopher have been using the cancel one you can share that knowledge now I haven't managed to get it to work oh yeah maybe yeah you accidentally press something else then and asking again I said maybe happens so we are going to first create the we're gonna override the function call I'm cuffin and then we are going to RIT great the accent so they're going to guess what action was going on and we did not have so in the science [Music] this part is desiccated so instead what we're going to use is that we're just going to get the event that is ass and then get the action from it and then we're gonna switch reactionary action down so testing about you guys paid attention to me what's this action bound doodle please answer in the chat box I think [Music] rightly answered when you press the screen that's great so we have something called log here and you can put like log that e but D and they stand for like for example log E is for errors and then you can offer a third info verbose and stuff so when you write log here it can it comes up in your log cat at the bottom of the screen here and then you can filter on the different type so you can see all your errors and see all the info and stuff and then you can also search based on a tag so because we're doing this for debug we're just going to write D for debug and then you're gonna have a tie if you create if you're gonna use it you should like their constant value so so we're just gonna make the constant here so when this is fired then it's gotta be and always accompany what's wrong okay and yeah it's gonna be printing this out here so it's very nice for when you're debugging because then you can just use this don't use print line I saw some people do that don't do that use this and it's gonna be more professional oh and you can store it on it three games it's nice and so we have the action down and then we're gonna do the motion that you know what to do what this actually move in Ghana answered when the user puts the finger on the screen and then it moves before being lifted and arlynn wrote drag on screen and that's correct you guys have been paying attention today just good and then for some reason it feels like you just make more typing errors when you're streaming or something and then you have to put the else here that should work so what we did was we created this constant and that we're going to be using for when we're doing the logs so we can search on debug tag down here to find our blog messages and then we pretty much just told the after what to do or what to print based I want action we're doing so I'm gonna run the app I have to find it's on the other screen so here tonight be by Ike and that means it will filter on this one and only show the log messages so you see okay I'm pressing now I don't have that fancy indicate button thing and it crashed no it's reinstalling will be okay now it's reading so we have a lot of time we're in the corona situation I can stay here forever [Music] there's Tom pricing now and you see here and get moving and now I'm releasing oh okay so I'm pressing again down moving and then releasing Oh isn't that cool they seem just like do these things and I will realize like or it will notify you what you're doing you can like imagine all the things that you could do with this right and then you could combine this with what you learn earlier in the lesson about animations so on imagine that you create your own gesture and then an animation will play based on that gesture remains so these are just like the basic things the basic foundation of like noticing the gestures and like this is really fun and then if I delete this Wow I get a lot of log messages so this is pretty much like everything that's going on and I think it's really nice to be able to use this one I hope a lot of you have been familiarize yourself with the logcat and yeah you can also get it here and run before those of you who don't know about this yet because I feel like some some of you maybe you don't know but if you're after crashes you should look here and the run or in the log pad for iron messages and it's nice for just general debugging to use this log any questions for this should be pretty straightforward thank you suffer in the chat I appreciate it so now that um that's the move log position I guess you could move that log that as well it's just one we have a lot of constants here but on the motion event page for things that you can get and log out so I'm sure maybe you can get like query position and other properties my parentsí so if there's anything that you want to specifically log or track there's a lot of constants so what you would do is for example just replace the action with these ones and you can give that wrote in the chat that for logs is that unit tests need an extra dependency not to crush yeah so that's a really nice one as well so remember that back to ya smile that we've had a look at gestures and use and hobbies can actually use them in your app it might be nice to think about why do we really use gestures and I think that districts highlights one of the one of the amazing things about Android and that is this whole opportunity for app developers and also people that or companies that work with androids to try new and innovative approaches on their phone and what's been going on is that for the for past years there's been this rapid increase in the number of different gesture patterns dice can do on your handle device and Google actually did some researching on this on how like gesture is affected users and what did actually users get from as a benefit from using districts and what they found is that gestures can actually be as faster and more natural an ergonomic way to navigate using your phone and also they could be more intentional and easier to like understand then regular software buttons that you accidentally Midas kicker because you know when you charge your phone you can't accidentally trigger a button and then you call your grandma's best friend like you never talked to them how awkward isn't that but with dusters you actually have to intentionally do something and do a specific movement with one or several fingers and so it's double user experience is more intentional almost asking if they're maybe I'm not gesture is their yeah oh yeah knock apparently and yeah so with gestures you get to have this more immersive experience and you know we get more bigger screens now there's more space for us to do weird things on our phone so yeah that's good but I fuel all there are also some issues with things so for gesture specifically one cons could be that they don't really work for every user or that some users may not be able to use them and they're also harder to learn for beginners think back to when you're trying to teach her grandma how to use her phone what are smart smart phones she doesn't want to use a smart phone but you stopped make her good a button is easier for her to understand that gestures and so that can take some adjustments and also jester's can interfere with an absent abrogation of pattern but based on androids experience is that the biggest issue is that different phones so er like Samsung Motorola Ltd oneplus all of them they started having like their own gestures that were specific to a company so like Samsung but over the last one or two years Android has actually been working with these companies and try to ensure a consistent user and developer experience by standardizing this whole gesture experience on Android and also Google decided that because gestures don't really work for every user and especially those with like limited dexterity and mobility and the 3d button navigation that you see on the bottom of your phone it's still done either so they're not gonna remove it just to keep that user experience slowly material design again so principles for gestures is as I mentioned they should be this alternative interaction so in case your user can't really use districts is just another tentative but at the same time there should be easy to use you don't want I don't want to do like hand yoga every time they're gonna use your app and you should allow like the direct changes GUI elements for example zooming into a map on Google Maps building what I really liked about this wonderful gesture is is that it has like a do and don't section because it really will tell you don't do this so let's look at the good one first this is what you should do you notice when you're dragging the item and sliding it it flows like it moves according to where you put your thing on the device but then what you should not do if it feels like you drag and it doesn't move I'll see you drag it and what I did after I looked through all of these before is that actually went on my phone and I tried it out on my favorite apps where they have like these sort of animations and I will look like hmm they actually followed these are like principles and everything I was like good job my favorite rock people there's a good job so you guys should try to go on your app go on your favorite app see do they follow this or not and then if they don't descend them this angry customer service emails they not know how to buy user experience because they didn't follow like good principles just wrecking yep so seeing here it's you should like get remove it flip it us your drag but shouldn't lag like this this is just annoying if it's not like that so you can have some more look at this by yourself and that was pretty much everything that I was going to talk to you guys about today I hope you have learned a lot of new cool things that you could possibly use in your assignment to you or three also guessed now would be a good time for anyone who have assignment specific questions to ask them as we have me Mario and Christopher here and the same room at the same time so yeah feel free to go while in the chat and ask a lot of questions and also if anyone prefers to just talk with their microphone and ask questions you can do that as well well to break the awkward silence here I think it's sensible to you know use that room since we have it I think you really get a brilliant overview and it was way more than just focusing animation and so on and was basically really focused on the entire user experience right and designed sorry device interaction something that hasn't been covered at that depth before so it's really really insightful so already a really good talk I must say only the functionality there's a lot to think about because with apps it's sort of different because people are always carrying their phones with them wherever they go and these are relying their apps to be like good so they can actually meet their needs so that's why it's nice to think about these things that's absolutely right but it's also a bit of a can of worms right so because SS you know what other features there's always the demand to consider it early during the development right without actually gaining immediately at least you know substantive benefit right so so the content of the app let's say recipe management habits they're still slightly different so people were really by necessity allocate the resources for developing this first and then think about the animations but it would be really good to know where the and I don't know if the answer it's more like a discussion point where the sweet spot is between you know considering it early and and not overdoing it in your follow my thought in terms of all the features that you present because you have brought pride also the basically a library of all the aspects you could consider and the challenge is then to choose and pick and see what's sensible and you know what's what's minimal or what should be minimally as least considered and what is really more icing on the cake right so it's really hard to assess this because it really depends on the app you you're writing so that would be interesting to see how people make their choices there see what sort of animations we'll find one we're reviewing people's submissions that's right exactly yep any questions about the Simon it's two and three let me quickly check if people are posting the projects already some people are asking question in the group chat okay yes let me find myself where the window is okay so networking so first question is assignment to a cure a tech demo showcase with professionals yes that's the whole point of assignment 2 question 2 is what is this about networking well we basically would like you to fetch some data over the network so the idea is that you use some sort of web service or web api that allows you to fetch the weather data or movie database data or something over the network and then you sort of make use of it internally in your app so it can be anything in the past the the the smallest amount of work that people did for this was downloading an image of a cat and print showcasing it as an icon on the app so if you can do that that's the use of network already so anything to do with network more cats right yeah so you should put your assignment two groups into the project group so the idea is that the project groups are for assignment to already in you don't have to specify the theme of the app exactly before you start working on assignment three because that only needs approval for assignment three you don't need approval for doing assignment - but we need groups because assignment two is group based and we need to group you for marketing purposes into groups and to do that we need a unique ID and to do that we need this wiki page so we had this long discussion of Christopher how to do that and after careful considerations the consensus was that unfortunately we don't have an ability to generate unique numerical IDs for groups ourselves yet and therefore we need your help to put that into the wiki page at the moment so all group all assignment two groups need to be registered as a group project as a group as a project group on the wiki yeah the only the only caveat is that you don't need to specify the idea fully yet because you only need it for assignment three for assignment two because everybody's doing whatever they want we don't care it's a tech demo and that tech is already specified and the way you use it the way you interpreted it's up to you this will become important for assignment three but not for assignment I think this is a good opportunity for people to be creative and I'm trying to think about an app you would use for yourself like think about like what do I need what's on one exactly that's exactly the idea yeah yeah we're not pushing you guys to do a specific task like more except like you need to sell the check boxes I guess they are in the silent description good that's good so much you guys can do and I think it will be more motivating to do it as well if you can find something that you want to make something that it's gonna be like helpful for you in your own life perhaps that's that's exactly the point so you can explore you can experiment you can play with this and you can do things that don't necessarily make sense for the app itself you can just play with the tech and then for assignment three you can throw out some of the things that you try then you don't need or whatever and then you just polish the actual features for the project itself [Music] yeah any buddy struggling with anything so is there like a topic that would be really good for people to know more about are you fine with doing for example the networking yourself or do you need kind of help with this or do you need help with anything in particular how to set up Network yeah we didn't have a specific lecture on that I can I can talk a little bit about the networking yes yeah I will check the schedule and see if we have anything planned otherwise I just do something related to networking anything else apart from networking so the thing which will be tomorrow is about using the camera and kind of an introduction to augmented reality so how to do kind of a see through through the camera how to use the opencv library because the download is really big and because I didn't told everybody to do that I'm not sure if I will run a live session tomorrow or if I will do a recording instead because then you can download open CV and sort of follow the tutorial more a synchronously those the libraries I'm using they told to be really big and like SourceForge downloads took like 2 hours for me actually so yeah I will decide tonight and let you know chances are it will be kind of recording and then you can use it a synchronously to go with examples and I will post the code into the repo of the of the course so yeah so camera and some use of cameras and filters and some tracking that will be covered tomorrow waters would you need apart from the networking anything comes to mind for assignment tool who is the stakeholder so historically when we had more of personal contact with everybody the mobile projects were usually having someone who needs a mobile app and then groups were sort of fulfilling the dead meat so we had external people external stakeholders who were interested in a development of some sort of mobile app when and then the groups were kind of doing those apps for them and those those were the stakeholders we had projects which were internally done by students who just wanted to do an app for themselves we had apps which were done by game students it was like simple games and we had some games done for like a nursing school for the computer vision lab for sesor shops for samanage meant we had stakeholders from police or military so we had some external people interested in providing some project ideas and then students were kind of doing that we had sometimes some small startups who wanted to experiment with some ideas and we had like startup which was developing like a board which you can kick balls off and then they wanted enough to count how many times the wall was kicked and and so on so we had some some external people doing that so if you have someone like you know maybe your mom wants an app and you want to do this app for your mom then your mom becomes a stakeholder right so she kind of gives is a source of some of the ideas if you have just internal stakeholders just put yourself as a stakeholder saying we're doing this app for us we're gonna use it but in they call there is someone who is this up for and who will use this up who wants deserve to be developed that's for assignment three you now that's right so if you don't have any specific stakeholders even if it's only you and you're making a game or you're making some utility up for yourself then that's fine then just say it's for us and there is no email needed yeah if you do have someone external what we need those emails for is just we actually it probably doesn't make much of a difference now but we were notifying all those external stakeholders when the project were finished and when the presentations happen so they could attend the presentations but given that we don't we will not hold presentations you may just have you know skip the email and once you've done you just show those stakeholders yourself the demo and the video so it can be managed by you not by us you No so that's the thing the what all we need is for you to register the group but you don't have to register the members yet for registering the members will have additional google form where you will associate yourself with a particular ID of a group and that's where we will get the association between the members and the groups so we don't need you to specify who is in the group but we would like you to specify how many members the group will have all right sort of like double check that the system correctly has sufficient like because if you say we should have four members and only three register then we will investigate why only three registered otherwise we will not know that one is missing so in on the wiki page tell us how many members the group should have but you don't need to specify who the members are we will post a Google Form for everybody to associate themselves with groups you in the future we hoping this will be automated and it will be done by the submission system right Christopher I lost him you're highlighting event I said a conditional you're expressing you know I'm expressing hope hope is the sensible yeah yeah my script at this stage is right all right sometimes not for this one unfortunately so this this time we're doing the kind of old-fashioned way as we used to do it last year as well you yeah we kind of automating more and more things are making things a bit easier for everybody but yeah that shouldn't be too much of a burden you just need to specify the project group and then we will have the form to fill in and then the rest should be quite automated and other questions yeah kind of a comment to Elizabeth because she was telling me that she doesn't know how long the lecture will be and so on so I was planning to record this explanation about assignment two and I was so sure it's gonna be less than five minutes that I was really surprised that it took 18 minutes I think I only have enough material for like 40 minutes yeah exactly and you were actually quite fast you could have spoken a bit slower and you would easily fill in the whole two hours so yeah but it was the same for me I was like surprised that like like the five minutes of content I had took actually 18 minutes to explain it was a little bit of a problem with wiki initially but that doesn't count as for such an extension anyway it's quite hard yeah until you try it it's quite hard to predict how long certain things or how long certain explanations will take and then you don't factor in like if people ask questions under like during the lecture and like things didn't have to like as I said with the technology not working as it's supposed to yeah that's right that's right yeah as long seems to be quite good you also have this option for people raising hand and then to pay you know attract your attention to the chat if they ask a question and presenting so you can use that I was last last week on Friday I went like unity at the moment runs a big class for unity basics and I just wanted to check how they run it and they use it zoom as well but the thing is they had to disallow this rising hand and all the other features because it was so distracting for the presenters and they had over 700 students in the class so the chat was also really hard to manage like I couldn't follow it like I was trying to follow the chat but it was so quick that I just couldn't follow it so they have like 10 moderators who read all the questions and try to answer them because that presenter is unable to be presenting and following the chat as well but for smaller classes the ID works quite well and that sounds really tiring I'm happy that we have this comfortable size of people I think around 20 today yeah I think that's nice and I'm happy that some of you guys participated in the chat and shared your opinions and asked questions and think I think it's important that we try to do these things now more though because or else this experience is just like me talking and no one's really responding and like so today was really nice yeah I feel that as well and it was really well done class so thank you Elizabeth for participating and I will announce tonight if we have live session tomorrow or I pre-recorded before tomorrow class so might see you tomorrow then if you have any questions in the meantime are feel free to ask on the dis code of course so and I'm here as well you guys have any questions related to the things that I went through today or any need any guidance or anything on assignment 2 & 3 oh just send a message okay great thank you very much thank you Elizabeth thank you bye bye bye thank you bye my | GTL | UCoChi3eU2ThtVkhIpq_F20Q | 2020-04-01 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 12,647

YAvOcmEgAs4 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAvOcmEgAs4 | Khelgar and Neeshka Join The Fray - I Play Neverwinter Nights 2 (Part 2) [Road To Fort Locke] | oh there oh there this is uh part two of my neverware knives two videos gotta continue where i left off um playing girl and elias the moon elf cleric last thief type character we're not even close to a thief so early in the morning it's like three something i think maybe yeah three three something i woke up at 1 30 this morning so so just let me i'll get my bearings here for a minute i'm ready i'm already ready to go seems i just wore gloves with concentration for now about to get greater gloves of concentration so i'm gonna get skill focused intimidating and skill focus appraise be a real thug man thug life you get my bluff up i got two because i got feet what's that right there see i'm not quite sure what it does i know what it does but yeah i'm gonna have to get that up very complicated skill that one is let's go meet kelgar iron fist i try not to smoke so much on this one i don't want to be drinking soda though glory conforms now that we're outside maybe you'd like to tell me what you said again slowly this time so you could think about what you're saying you're a small one to be taking this road all by yourself dwarf maybe you've come looking for trouble unless you have a little coin to convince us otherwise no need to trouble the elf i believe all of you are threatening me if you ever decide to throw a punch that is even a stranger can see you're too scared of your own shadows to do it is that so maybe both of you should pay how about that come on someone tried to hit me already even the newcomer here sees that you're all too afraid to do anything all right i've heard enough of this come on boys let's deal with the dwarf and his new friend well now that was a good fight a shame they had to resort to weapons but if they have to keep the odds even can't blame them too much have to admit wasn't expecting an elf to come along or to pitch in like that name's khalgar by the way of the clan iron fist i've been making my way along the coast for some time now stopped in the willow here for a brief fight ah well you could afford me you handled yourself pretty well almost as well as i did but that's a high mark to reach for so tell me what brings you out along the mayor roads aren't exactly safe you know and they're getting worse all the time now now didn't mean to start another fight especially when we have such a fine tavern before us that has some untapped kids we haven't fought yet i say we step inside the weeping willow here and share our stories over a few of the innkeepers best so then i punched him in the face for asking and while he was trying to pick his teeth off the floor his friend decided to add a few choice words about my heritage so i punched him too so to make a long story short i take pride in what i do fighting it's something you can't get enough of and it's something where there's always room for improvement if you apply yourself stay focused and keep swinging and that's why i'm headed to neverwinter i heard there's a house of monks there a monastery right they'll train anyone just for the asking couldn't ask for a bitter opportunity if you know of a closer one that'll train for free well i'm all ears just as long as i get that monk training don't you worry there's nothing sorted or unseemly about the day well as it happens i didn't always want to become a monk what happened was that i knew it well look at this our next round of practice just arrived all right take cattle oh yeah give me a copper necklace uh so glory comforters should have been chaotic good like my last video just so much easier to be chaotic good in this game so easy i gotta do it be chaotic and good on the deviate yeah what what is it the whole gang of [ __ ] okay glory comporters bonaparte i'll just sell that that's not good to have good to use anyway i'm not held on to it i'm not sure not oh someone give me a hand this is too much to carry okay catch in step follow me so yeah yeah douche i'm chilling here playing this game affects the camera i don't know if i've been in here but look this one something wrong with my middle mouse button on this death at her mouse from razer it doesn't work can't even use it on web pages for some reason do um diplomacy seven what the [ __ ] you i'll just show that rectangle footbed go to those arrows we're not using shields maybe i'm a rogue so i can use a heavy crossbow so have to choose that or the long bow i'm not sure which is long bow i'd find it oh that's the short bow i shall yes sure yes um i like to pick up the astral blade pretty soon here it's really nice it's held by the uh bandit captain the bandicam magic pouch i can go ahead and get that i use it to hold something on why not you rarely get poisoned in this game but whatever so well now i've had a good time so far and the way you attract trouble i haven't had this much fun since that tavern back at bogan's pass where i was using that trestle table as a battering ram oh look we're heading in the same direction and you seem to have more enemies than friends what say we travel together might be able to teach each other a few things insane maybe one too many blows to the head but i've toughened up since then but let me prove it to you so what do you say you don't even have to ask i don't steal another man's kill well not on purpose anyway and don't you worry about me keeping up kelgar iron fist carries his own weight i won't be slowing you down that sun though moving yep optical illusion i went to bed i like what was it i can't think when it was when was it eight seven something like that woke up at 1 30 i started uploading the video that i made the last video of this game it's still uploading it's like maybe 50 something percent done and i'm on the fast i'm going fast as internet too i don't i don't know it's never shown any signs of slowing down up until now i guess it's found its way some photos this game looks a lot better when it's not behind shades what do i say with this in curtin uh provide a direwolf player come photoshop no i smoke a lot and apologize for them take that oh hey uh up part of the crafter than being pretty useful but i'm not as awesome as this game is i don't like crafting very much yeah i'm a crap like a couple of aoe things alchemist fire acid flax tango foot bags don't use those um other ones on the powder choking pattern that's it not on this difficulty anyway because it'll just screw it it'll mess up the whole battlefield on you'll be dazed your companions will be days and your enemies will be days just useless i guess you could use tactically uh glory comes if you're a clerk just hit this spontaneous conversion button let's see cure moderate wounds is the second level spell so any spell you cast on that okay see once want to cast your models on yourself or an ally go ahead and do it will not pop your light ones go ahead and do it make use of that glory comporters camera not particularly close to a level up yet frosty it's a fight for survival glory for us santos what demon no screams for us maybe we should brand you maybe that'll loosen your tongue leave me alone i've done nothing to you well now commander valas will be happy to hear that he will it means his work is all done he can just give up the fort and go home still there's just a small matter of those bounties on bandits he posted and abandoned with demon blood well there's no telling how much that's worth of course you could tell us where your camp is valas will pay more for daddy will and we won't even have to butcher the lot of you i told you i'm not with those bandits or are you deaf and stupid stupid here we were thinking about letting you live now you've gone and changed our minds huh hold on look at this an elf and a dwarf may be friends of hers this don't concern you we're soldiers from fort locke hunting bandits that we are caught this demon trying to raid our camp and we were about to deal with her nothing yet but a cruise been out in these parts they've been raiding merchants caravans maybe even killed the old commander i told you i'm not with those bandits shut your lion mouth demon you'll get the blade soon enough oh really well isn't that all high in mighty of you you know malice might pay for three banded bounties he's not one for asking questions especially about a demon a runty dwarf and a dirty hobbleman who doesn't know enough to keep walking grunty dwarf i know you cowards aren't talking to me or you'll be talking to my fists next good enough for me let's kill them all and i'll sort out the tail later four four damn prostrate come on ah where did you come from i mean one moment i thought i was dead and then suddenly you're here and look at all this blood i guess that's what they get for underestimating an elf eh last mistake they'll make sorry if i sounded surprised it's just you know people don't usually help me out like that especially um well people like you you know nice looking people does that make me a damsel in distress oh i hope not i hate those women yeah lucky me huh better to be lucky than good someone told me that once it's a good way to think about things sometimes you know i mean once folks catch side of me usually it's the horns they run in the other direction and all those tales about teethlings being cursed don't help much either i'm nishka by the way i'm really glad you came when you did i wasn't really sure how i'd get out of that one of course they never would have caught me in the first place if that invisibility potion i'd bought hadn't been watered down if i ever see that merchant again well i was actually trying to pass the fort by make my way farther south well i thought that potion i bought would help you see once the local garrison sees me they tend to want to throw me in a cell or attack me on site of course the potion wears off right as i cross paths with those thugs from fort locke they were looking for easy bounties and i showed up right on time it's been that way ever since the new fort commander posted bounties on bandits some of his soldiers have been hunting down anyone they find on the road and claiming their bandits it's just banditry of a different sort they rob the travelers and then get the bounty too the roads are even less safe now than they were before so all right yeah i guess you don't have any reason to stay look thanks for saving me really do you do you think i could join you just for now i won't get in the way i promise it's just that i don't know how long i can survive on my own and well i do owe you one can't say i trust her t flings will stab you in the back and run off with your purse the moment you drop your guard yeah well dwarves are squat smelly drunks who'll chop someone in half just to show they're tough oh is that so why don't you step down here and say that again oh this'll be fair i don't even have any of my gear but please let me come with you i owe you for saving me and those soldiers will just try to kill me again if they catch me out here on my own thanks i won't let you down i swear i think those fort locked thugs have my gear locked away here luke leave as many of those healing or healer kits as i can get especially since i'm going to that graveyard with those undead zombies who's for a fight come on what what is it plus eventually i just um like that merchant and hot cliff who sells the plus one healing kits i just get huge amounts of those and just heal all my party members in battle i feel their kids works really good go ahead and save i'm gonna keep this save with the number one and just in case um rogue and cleric gonna work out in case i do need those extra spells those little three spells i'm not sure so hmm let's see what this do that's for so i can buy what's up with that what's perry yeah i don't even use perry this game not even good the screen's popping what's he doing mess it up or something wonder why water blob of acid kid there's some traps i'll find something to use that magic pouch for later i can sell this down okay all about that foreign game's messing up doing some kind of weird thing got vertical sync turned on sure so well i've never persuaded that dude before i'm gonna go ahead in this video make it shorter than the last one i think it's shorter i'm not sure let's get this stuff together giving him the correct weapon just what he does only that flex right there yes let's put this a lot before there we go what what is it a lowly priest of el nator what i need cure disease potions all right i need those i want to go to the graveyard i don't think

yourself who you really beautifully and so one of a kindly are cast off the cloaks of whatever you're not or thought you had to be find and live the unlived undiscovered parts of your life the buried treasures of your body mind heart waiting to be discovered and embraced honored and expressed pose big beautiful questions to yourself one's ready to reshape you just by courageous asking honest pondering starting from your soul begin new conversations fresh and freeing conversations with and without words with the world around you the people the earth and humanity around you and those you've outworn or have warned you out kindle your deeper passions and compassions from glowing embers to roaring bonfires reimagine how much more is possible dreamable where the world is your oyster full of pearls revisit what is in this here this now most natural vital joyful what brings you alive maybe the music of brahms or birds the taste of true love friendship sunlight because another future is calling for you to enter for you to begin welcome to everyone leaning in to this 37th floating poetry broadcast the very last of the year's weekly series i had planned to conclude last week for 2020 then felt we could use and ought to have one final program before the new year unfolds coming to you live over the airwaves and ocean waves from watch hill rhode island on a moonlit coastline this is your guide your poet and poetorialist colin gerica inviting you this week to think and feel into different dimensions of endings and beginnings from the cultural the emotional and natural to the relational imaginal spiritual and more well i felt my way into a mosaic of seekings of musings and lyricizing for us to ponder across endings and beginnings we experience as individuals as a society as a humanity and our bodies our hearts consciousness there's so many directions you me we could go on um around this twin theme here is some of the territory i thought we'd take it for now and you can take it beyond in your own ways shapes and forms from here after this endings and beginnings of ways of thinking and being of significant relationships of lives of livelihoods of life's chapters adventures of stories and histories of harvests of deeper meaningfulness of each day you and i are here get to be here and i have some questions for us are you or how are you recognizing your beginnings your various endings important ones inner ones especially and outer ones from each new season or harvest of your life to each new season of nature the beginnings are the endings of loving of friendships the openings or closings of deeply held dreams and desires what about freely opening to them fully allowing them to come or go what about celebrating or appreciating them all as life gifts revelations invitations or initiations great or small to me the more we can embrace each of them embody them and honor them for adding to our growth our wisdom our hopefulness the richer and more resident i believe our days can be so let's venture together into to these realms and see what arises what sparks or challenges or affirms or or inspires you well in our medley of choosings i thought we'd start with um great movie endings uh this is from mental floss and i just chose a few a few of my favorites and some that might you might well know or know of citizen kane 1941 well on a surface level his masterpiece orson welles citizen king would seem to have an extremely simple of tragic ending wells's doomed tycoon charles foster kane under a dying word rosebud and later the audience is shown that the word referenced the sled he played with as a boy just before his life was thrown into upheaval the straightforward elegy for lost innocence yet decades after its release and despite countless re-examinations of the film we're still talking about rosebed and its many meanings as a component of memory nostalgia and the way we both control and lose control of our own narratives in life it remains a puzzle very much worth playing with even if we can never fully solve it and the next one was the one i'm nipping into there casablanca 42. we tend to think of hollywood endings as universally happy things particularly when it comes to romance but casablanca one of the most recognizable classics from hollywood's golden age has been flouting that conventional perception for decades rick and ilsa's bittersweet goodbye remains one of the most famous romantic moments in all of film history by the way if you've never seen the film or that slice of it definitely um iconic and memorable i've seen it many many times well this was made even more powerful by its refusal to give the audience what they want instead we get what we need and the combination of ingrid bergman's passion and humphrey bogart's resolve sells the whole thing um just one more for fun uh also um who remembers the planet of the apes 1968 charlton heston uh uh featuring horrified chalkness and screaming at the ruins at the end of the statue of liberty he comes upon is one of the most reference parodied and commented on endings in all of cinema history it's so recognizable you probably know what it is even if you haven't seen the film but it just didn't reach that status because it's a memorable image it's a payoff to a rather direct metaphor for a world gone mad that works almost as well today as it did amid the cold war so yeah we all have under many others i'm sure we each have our favorite films and endings and there's a few maybe spark you toward others how about famous opening lines in literature i've chosen some of mine you again may have yours to remember fairy tales once upon a time charles dickens a tale of two cities opens this way it was the best of times it was the worst of times it was the age of wisdom it was the age of foolishness it was the epoch of belief it was the epoch of incredulity it was the season of light it was the season of darkness it was the spring of hope it was the winter of despair we had everything before us we had nothing before us we were all going direct to heaven we were all going direct the other way um many of you if you've read moby dick herman melville's great classic opens call me ishmael about the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the western spiral arm of the galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun or franz kafka the metamorphosis as gregor samsa awoke one morning from uneasy dreams he found himself transformed in his bed into a gigantic insect eb white from charlotte's web remember that from childhood where's papa going with that axe said fern to her mother as they were setting the table for breakfast and um from a clockwork orange anthony burgess it was a bright cold day in april and the clocks were striking 13. and last h.g wells from the war of the worlds no one would have believed in the last years of the 19th century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were being scrutinized and studied perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinize the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water i was thinking of other things too maybe not exactly literary but letters and there's a wonderful program from england letters of note and they've been also doing a weekly or other intermittent newsletter and they share some of the letters notable people have written to other people and i loved uh louis armstrong ended his letters they had a little commentary on that uh he was as distinctive in this as his music and he rarely ended his letters without flair uh was determined to wave goodbye in the page with a wink so here's just a few of how he ended them swiss chrisley yours satchmo that was from a 1940 letter he wrote well swiss chris was his favorite laxative and sashmo was his nickname of course short for satchel mouth um another one am ulceratedly yours louis armstrong from a letter from 1950 where he thought he had stomach ulcers uh yours soul foodly old satchmo another one 1944 and pluto waterly yours louis armstrong from a letter uh writing to someone uh and that reference pluto water was another laxative of the day that he used he was a connoisseur of them apparently um and another one one last m red beans and ricely yours 1952. love that that fun so there's a we can we can end our letters more colorfully and personally more meaning more particularly you i was thinking of events that have very um that are all the more inviting and exciting because they are so finite they're so fleeting and the fourth of july is one of those for many of us and here's a poem of mine about that let the fireworks begin the star showers the wild flowerings the palm trees and peonies dahlias chrysanthemums of high flying light the waterfalls of sparks colors the bright night burnings embering down into dark the flashes and shimmers of earth-flung comets bracelets diadems the rocketing arcs you follow with wide open eyes almost held breath till you oh and ah from the outburst of silver and gold emerald rose rare blue feel the ensuing booms reverberating your belly as you lie face to sky on a widespread blanket easy and cozy with friends and savor all amid the dangling spangles and whizzing crackling whistling sounds with innocent wonder through the last fanfare the blazing rousing finale the applause the drifting clouds of smoke and contented crowds obviously um we think of at least i do beginnings and then say i think and we'll touch on this a little more in a moment but i think of certainly birth and and death and all sorts of things in between and um and older phases of life are as we some of us get older um ideally also wiser but um you know we're gonna get our age progresses so i came across in brain picking's um wonderful piece about the writer grace paley who considered some of the practicalities of old age and said you may begin to notice that you're invisible especially if you're short and gray-haired but i say to whom and so what all the best minorities have suffered that and are rising nowadays in the joy of righteous wrath she said also my father had decided to teach me how to grow old i said okay my children didn't think it was such a great idea if i knew how they thought i might do so too easily no no i said it's it's for later years from now and besides if i get it right it might be helpful to you kids in time to come they said really my father wanted to begin as soon as possible please sit down he said be patient the main thing is this when you get up in the morning you must take your heart in your two hands you must do this every morning that's a metaphor right metaphor no no you can do this in the morning do a few little exercises for the joints not too much then put your hands like a cup over and under the heart under the breast he said tactfully is probably easier for a man then talk softly don't yell under your ribs push a little when you wake up you must do this massage i mean pat stroke a little don't be ashamed very likely no one will be watching then you must talk to your heart talk what say anything but be respectful say maybe say heart little heart beat softly but never forget your job the blood you can whisper also remember well thinking about that led me to think about uh sam shepard and his last book written it just a few weeks before he passed away he was a remarkable fellow and writer and actor and um playwright and more and it's called spy of the first person when you read it you realize that he's actually feeling like he's spying on himself in a way and he's ruminating on his end because he knows it's coming and he says in this one short chapter which is really just one page one paragraph where exactly do we come from that's one question was it was it a desert was it a forest was it a mountain was it the prairie where did we actually come from the colorado river if you were traveling in a foreign country and you lost your dogs and you lost your car and you lost your note from home that your mother pinned on your collar and you lost your clothes and you were standing there naked and somebody came up to you and said where do you belong how would you answer would you ask the one ancestor who happened to be portuguese or would you ask the spanish armada somebody has forgotten so all of this as a as a journey yes of beginning to end or a beginning to an end the journey of life is um something that of course all living creatures go through and i love and have read once before in another context the david white poem song for the salmon it's so so beautiful and fitting i feel for our beginnings and endings conversation and exploration today song for the salmon for too many days now i have not written of the sea nor the rivers nor the shifting currents we find between the islands for too many nights now i have not imagined the salmon threading the dark streams of reflected stars nor have i dreamt of his longing or the lithe swing of his tail toward dawn i have not given myself to the depth to which he goes to the cargoes of crystal water cold with salt nor the enormous planes of ocean swaying beneath the moon i have not felt the lifted arms of the ocean opening its white hands on the seashore nor the salted wind whole and healthy filling the chest with living air i have not heard those waves fallen out of heaven unto earth nor the tumult of sound and the satisfaction of a thousand miles of ocean giving up its strength on the sand but now i have spoken of that great sea the ocean of longing shifts through me the blessed inner star of navigation moves in the dark sky above and i am ready like the young salmon to leave his river blessed with hunger for a great journey on the drawing tide song for the salmon thank you david white so on these lines i i've also been reading more of stephen jenkinson's incredible book the coming of age the case for elderhood in a time of trouble and on it's all about obviously aging and elderhood and what that really means and what what would be good for us to have and used to have in cultures before and time before if you give the first act of your life over to the notion that you were born to some purpose or other and that there are reasons for your birth and they attend you then your task seems clear enough find out why risk accenture and accusations of self-importance and bombast and find out why you were born and try living accordingly somewhere along the way you will enter the second act of your life usually without notice or fanfare or a parade down the main street of your days it'll only be apparent in hindsight that you've done so this isn't a time to reap the rewards of the seasons of your life there are new reasons for living that can come to you only at this point in your life in some they might come down to this one thin thing with whom are you to live out these reasons for your birth and life who shall be the witnesses the heirs the beneficiaries of the reasons for your life the answer just cannot be the gated community of your peers it can't be your crew has to include people half your age a third your age and they're young they are the ones who stand the a chance of drinking the wine that might come from the vineyard you planted as you sought your life's purposes there's that to consider once you start not being young anymore of course they might never taste wine in their lives not if you haven't lived and planted the vines as if they'd one day appear if you persist with the whys of your early days well into your second act and if you keep looking for the payday and the amen that you're sure has so far eluded you younger people might never know the deep red rush of a human life they'll be your competition for that rush instead there's that to consider too along with whatever plans you've made for retirement all right sip of winter water and jb priestly said i have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day a fresh try one more start with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning and i was reading a wonderful interview from the paris review done back i think in 1990 with the great poet writer octavio octavio paz and on the eras of history as they come and go the interviewer asked him uh you were born in 1914 as you probably remember he says not very well uh interviewer virtually in the middle of the mexican revolution and right on the eve of world war one the century you've lived through has been one of almost perpetual war do you have anything good to say about the 20th century paul says well i have survived and i think that's enough history you know is one thing and our lives are something else our century has been terrible one of the saddest in universal history but our lives have always been more or less the same private lives are not historical during the french or american revolutions or during the wars between the persians and the greeks during any great universal event history changes continually but people live work fall in love die get sick have friends moments of illumination or sadness and that has nothing to do with history or very little to do with it interviewer so we are both in and out of history paul says yes history is our landscape or setting and we live through it but the real drama the real comedy also is within us and i think we can say the same for someone of the fifth century or for someone of a future century life is not historical but something more like nature i was also i've been i've also been reading patty smith's book year of the monkey and here at the she's speaking about our successions of yesterdays and tomorrows i knew there had to be a brass telescope mounted somewhere on the boards and i was determined to find it not exactly a telescope an instrument of beyond beyond-ness right on the esplanade my pockets were brimming with coins so i set up camp and concentrated first on a freighter then on a star and then all the way back to earth i could actually see that ball the world i was in space and could see it all as if the god of science let me peer through his personal lens the turning earth was slowly revealed in high definition i could see every vein that was also a river i could see the wavering illness air on the cold deep of the sea and the great bleached reef of queensland encrusted manta rays sinking and lifeless organisms floating in the movement of wild ponies racing through the marshes over running the islands off the georgian coast and the remains of stallions in the boneyards of north dakota and a fleet of deer the color of saffron and the great dunes of lake michigan with sacred indian names i saw the center which was not holding and i saw the ancient days there were bells tolling and wreaths tossed and women turning in circles and there were bees performing their life cycle dance and there were great winds and swollen moons and pyramids crumbling and coyotes crying and the waves mounting it all smelled like the end and the beginning of freedom and i saw my friends who were gone and my husband and my brother i saw those counted as true fathers ascend the distant hills and i saw my mother with the children she had lost whole again and i saw myself with sam in his kitchen in kentucky and we were talking about writing in the end he was saying everything is fodder for a story which means i guess that we're all fodder another set of reading i've been doing is the new view magazine from the uk a lot of it to do with the thinking or uh philosophy of rudolph steiner back in time 100 years back and this fellow um richard ramsbotham uh was writing um based on you know as i thought about um the great pause we're in on so many levels imposed upon us as a people for the first time in history and a possible well an end it could portend which sparked was sparked by him writing this you know that were at the risk of of a cultural cataclysm and um he um he referenced uh rudolf steiner who wrote in 1920 so 100 years ago exactly who wrote it 100 years ago nothing in fact depends on economic life primarily everything depends on the views the ideas the cultural life of humankind so he speaks to that and he says well where are we with this today what is the condition of our free independent cultural life without which the whole social organism and even economic life quote must fall into decline we are as even the briefest look at our current situation will tell in a dire situation theaters closed religious services forbidden concerts forbidden singing forbidden gatherings or meetings forbidden public lectures impossible workshops impossible smiling or laughing impossible with masked faces education masked at an antisocial distance from one another or online each of these is a disaster story with colossal implications and i apologize for the many things i have not mentioned but the list could go on and on freedom of speech is forbidden in public media with heavy fines and consequences for saying anything other than the accepted viewpoint and so on and so on so well of course that's it ought to concern every all of us everything that's happening and all i can say and and hope for is that may we turn a vital corner soon ahead for the sake of our humanity you me and and all of us as a as a people as a species certainly hoping for that well how about when we think of not just seasons of life and but seasons of um of nature and the things that it brings us so i came across um uh from alice waters wonderful cookbook uh vegetables uh so there's the the the um um the edible glories of each season like corn in summer the first corn if you love corn and you know how exciting it is to when it first appears in in the summer especially here in the in the northeast and i loved how she has opened the whole section of things to do using corn but the first fresh sweet ears of the summer's corn crab reaches in june from farmers in southern california she's talking about her restaurant chapanis that she had the chino family takes justifiable pride in the corn they send us early in the summer from their farm outside san diego they grow as many as 15 or 20 kinds never tiring of experimenting with new and old varieties and hybrids when the first corn arrives by air freight we sometimes offer it in the cafe by the ear grilled on the cob one pun loving matrodiabar is used to insist on listing corn on the cob on the menu as quote buccaneer corn because we sold it for a dollar an year and um it was a poet i um enjoyed years back i said i've got to find that piece because it was tied into the delights of eating in season and corn and other things in this poem because i did find it actually today and o2 end of summer wonder for the table september it's called tom dish d-i-s-h slice slice the earth anywhere and like a plum cake it yields one thumb full after another of late estival yumminess yams and more yams tuberous boobs of a subterranean sibley discovering herself fan by fans shovel by shovel to the insatiable gaze of the whistling worshipful clods who call aloud the litanies of cookbook and baudry crisp potato skins steamed ears of corn ripe tomatoes steeped in virgin olive oil the votive ovens glow-like flesh our hearts and mouths are full of praise and sweet potatoes i thought of the feelings we have in different seasons and within different seasons and the subtleties and ones i know as a poet and being i'm ever more attuned to and that led me to evan ballen's poem the hill woman she came up the hill carrying water she wore a half-buttoned wool cardigan a tea towel round her waist she pushed her hair out of her eyes with her free hand and put the bucket down the zinc music of the handle on the rim tuned the evening an easter moon rose in the next door field a stream was a fluid sunset and then stars i remember the cold rosiness of her hands she bent down and blew on them like broth and round her waist on a white background in course woven letters the words glass cloth she was nearly finished for the day and i was all talk raw from college weekending at a friend's cottage with one suitcase and the set text of the court poets of the silver age we stayed putting down time until the evening turned cold without warning she said good night and started down the hill the grass changed from lavender to black the trees turned back to cold outlines you could taste frost but nothing now can change the way i went indoors chilled by the wind and made a fire and took down my book and opened it and failed to comprehend the harmonies of servitude the grace music gives to flattery and language borrows from ambition and how i fell asleep oblivious to the planets clouding over in the skies the slow decline of the spring moon the songs crying out their ironies thank you evan poland all right another step a little more parched than usual tonight i i uh recently had read a winter solstice poem this because those are such endings and beginnings of their kind the equinoxes and solstices years here's one for an autumnal equinox this is my piece leave the calendar behind um let the pages loose to fly off in the first autumn breeze instead of reading what day month season of the year it is step outside feel into the air the changing light the landscape before you around you let them tell you where things are like the equinox now balancing in balanchining in as you attend let your body pivot naturally and your thoughts glide gently away from fleeting summer toward fan fairing fall witness everything cooling down everything spooling out in clear light in soon to come pageant colors fragrant scents abundant textures accept the invitation to rise with like the evening star take the offered hand of nature and enter together into its widely alive and enlivening theater so there we have feelings of autumn here's one around spring which is the the next look toward thing for all of us now that we're in winter the next season and it's promise and here's this poem for us when the clock strikes spring for the spring equinox when the clock strikes spring you stop whatever you're doing take a long deep breath then another take off your shoes and socks or stockings take yourself out into the open air as it begins its softening onto the out leafing earth as it begins its blossoming under the lengthening sun as it begins its farewell to winter warming let all your senses feel the first notes the fresh with promised notes of another greening time enter through your eyes and ears nose and skin your stirring heart unwinding mind when the clock strikes spring well what about the beginnings and ends of each day we have um they're in their own right such gifts of nature aren't they mary oliver's poem sunrise speaks to that you can die for it an idea or the world people have done so brilliantly letting their small bodies be bound to the stake creating an unforgettable fury of light but this morning climbing the familiar hills in the familiar fabric of dawn i thought of china and india and europe and i thought how the sun blazes for everyone just so joyfully as it rises under the lashes of my own eyes and i thought i am so many what is my name what is the name of the deep breath i would take over and over for all of us call it whatever you want it is happiness it is another one of the ways to enter fire thank you mary oliver and for me sunrise has ever paired with birdsong and so often i hear it first before i see it listening to the sunrise the morning sun must be rising under the covers eyes closed i listen to the long and short toned sounds of birds chiming like bedside clocks rousing the world from its dreams here's galway canals owed to daybreak to day rise it's called daybreak from his collection mortal acts mortal words marvelous collection on the title mud just before sunset dozens of starfishes were creeping it was as though the mud were a sky and enormous imperfect stars moved across it as slowly as the actual stars crossed heaven all at once they stopped and as if they had simply increased their receptivity to gravity they sank down into the mud they faded down into it and lay still and by the time pink of sunset broke across them they were as invisible as the true stars at daybreak sunset i'd venture to say for most of us are special often magical the color the mood the endless associations we have with them and pretty much as far as i i've had them all entirely positive very uplifting very soothing beautiful one august in east hampton years back this poem swam into me it's called sunset swim a salty absolution by the seaside at the end of a sweltering day waves breaking from shaded water into banks of white hydrangea a sand barred floor soft under sea dancing feet clarified water cool and renewing as i wade then plunge under the last gold and pink light of day dissolving into night another moment was out on fire island on the great south bay with some dear friends we went clamming and while we were climbing i was poeticizing ankle deep jones beach island this poem sunset ripples sunset ripples out from the horizon where a cloud curtain has gone up it ripples at a soft right angle across the salted water encircles our wrists our wading ankles like beaten gold bracelets as we zen lee rake reach down together through the low tote low tide for clams lying cool and quiet in the great south bay the soon unshelled center of a serendipitous saturday feast of good men women wine and willing mollusks there's a book i've read many times and couldn't find i'd get another copy of it and it's italo calvino's book um mr palomar he's he's a keen observer of things and he's a friend of the universe the the book opens the inscription is um to a man who is a a friend of the universe the universe is a friend well i live by that i love that and he's one of those and it's this is part of a longer chapter called the sword of the sun when the sun begins to go down its reflection takes form on the sea from the horizon a dazzling patch extends all the way to the shore composed of countless swaying glints between one glint and the next the opaque blue of the sea makes a dark network the white boats seen against the light turn black loose substance and bulk as if they were consumed by that splendid speckling this is the hour on worcester palomar belated by nature takes his evening swim he enters the sea moves away from the shore and the sun's reflection becomes a shining sword in the water stretching from the shore to him mr palomar swims in that sword or more precisely that sword remains always before him at every stroke of his it retreats and never allows him to overtake it wherever he stretches out his arms the sea takes on its opaque evening color which extends to the shore behind him as the sun sinks towards sunset the incandescent white reflection acquires gold and copper tones and wherever mr palomar moves he remains the vertex of that sharp gilded triangle the sword follows him all right well i thought we'd have a bit of a dip into birth of a literal kind and we know that um there are others from you know births of a career births of ideas the birth of a work of art a movement a nation and there's just being being born and um i have one poem i'd written for twins that were born to friends of mine back in 2004 sarah and craig durham winer and their twins kate and abigail so they'd be 16 and change entering the atmosphere was the poem for them at an appointed hour after floating for hundreds of nights together in the humming twin engine over many unknown landscapes soon to be familiar to their feet and sight the door to the outer world opens and ready to descend they sail forth hearts fluttering rip cords pulled into the embracing air and the wild blue yonder of life and earth and soft landings at the side of their milkwarm mother and wide smiling father i'm just not slipping a couple out of my hand things to read because i want to keep to a certain time together tonight not to run too far over what i had in mind for us i read an earlier david white poem and he wrote one um about death and the endings uh you know the ending through a death is something poets of people of all kinds have written about writers through through all time and contemplated and as of the rest of us and here's his poem on this universal passage and nothing poignant too as we think about through loved ones at least for me i'm not very directly but those who've been lost uh recently for a lot of different reasons um beautiful spirits i just now departed his poem news of death last night they came with news of death not knowing what i would say i wanted to say the green wind is running through the fields making the grass lie flat i wanted to say the apple blossom flakes like ash covering the orchard wall i wanted to say the fish float belly up in the slow stream stepping stones to the dead they asked if i would sleep that night i said i did not know for this loss i could not speak the tongue lay idle in a great darkness the heart was strangely open the moon had gone and it was then when i said he is no longer here that the knight put its arm around me and all the white stars turned bitter with grief and the fact of our eventual end whenever it comes is humbling and for me enlivening i've been watching a program i think it was the crown some years back one episode or something i was taken with the the wonderful man who uh character playing the king and he was dying um ultimately and it led to this poem back in 2017 there is an end even kings must pass away royalty only goes so far mortality rules all in the end i think on the realizing of that finishing line as i watch a story of england's king george vi especially the moment he learns he's terminally ill and will not last long certainly not the lifetime he imagined i feel in him in me the bitter sweetness about that rare yet fleeting place of being in the world whether we know it firsthand or not a place to hold dear however long or short we're here so that too and how to be at peace with the impermanence of life because it's all impermanent to accept its nature its naturalness here's a poem i wrote out in the puget sound in port towns in washington some autumn's back it goes on when we've gone out with the tide it goes on the cool morning curtain of fog that lifts to sun and warmth the lazy clang of the channel boy the fish and fishermen sailors and ferry boats going about their business and pleasure they go on it all goes on you know for me it also brings mortality brings curiosity brings questions and a call to living as vividly as as feeling as i can and so here's a poem that raises some of those questions if you had to close the book if you had to close the book of your life prepare for an other worldly fuga mundi ready or not here you go forevermore what would the last page the endnote grace note be the luminous face or close embrace of a great love a simple blissful childhood reverie the first crisp taste of autumn at the green end of summer and what table of its contents would you compose expose to mark out the main chapters the major chords depth and breadth between birth and death of your living and loving your seeking and discovering if you knew you had to close the book something to ponder as is great heartbreak you know the end of a relationship especially a close partnership can can alter our worlds profoundly in lots of different ways depending on how we respond take it in can shake us immensely but and also spur us on and this was a poem i wrote i dedicated for the soul it's called losing the flow that was after my own own great heartbreak in life one of them for one who bathed body and spirit in its free-form currents breathed in its fresh rushings who lived and fished loved and dreamt for lyrical years along its soft green banks losing the flow the natural course wild coursing of a great river comes as a bewildering surprise you watch a maze dazed as the water recedes then how you begin to devitalize like the earth before you that dries and cracks witness the water flowers wither the birds and fish disappear taking their bright songs and buoyant gestures with them feel annoying dispiriting take hold a growing emptiness you can't reverse experience your once flushed daily quenched feelings of desire to light wane drain away like the whole vanishing river you hang on try to for a time caught in the laws held in a hard press of longing disbelieving until the last remaining hope of this dear river's return evaporates and you gather your parched puzzled self and depart to seek out a new oasis a life-giving source of another even if lesser kind to flow through the next seasons of your life to keep your body your soul likewise vitally streaming and ever moving ever dreaming toward the sea there are times in life too when as you may know you need to absolutely strip it down to the bare wood the bare walls to to begin again all over to start anew to create new foundations and cornerstones this is gut renovation stripping your life down to your bare walls your innards sometimes by choice sometimes by force by seismic events like great loss or divorce then starting over starting fresh this time with clear intention wise design deliberation to build on the strengths and virtues of your sure inner structure to create an inviting new living place for yourself that years and incarnations later you feel grand about inhabiting daily thankful for renovating deep down in your gut so on the other side of the loss losses and heartbreaks are the heart makes the the um new beginnings of love and um coming together as a couple and places a possibility on that farther side of um other side and i think of the beauty and promise of beginning some couples make in marriage and this was for to my dearest friends april and brad out in denver and i was at the i was at their magical wedding and read this poem to everybody for them as my toast um jekyll island in georgia it's called lovers romeo and juliet crossed stars abelard and heloise faced swords lancelot prized guinevere more than words more than the fabled knights and whole kingdom of camelot combined catherine and heathcliff we know rose to weathering dizzying heights of desire rhett butler and scarlett o'hara were swept away in a wild wind of romance damn the battles raging outside and within and you arching and shining into marriage lovers passionately chosen partners enter now with bliss and great promise into a deeply shared doubly shaped future into your own heartful remarkable and real life adventure so coming into the this final stretch of things for us seneca the roman philosopher much to say about a lot of things life endings beginnings and he spoke a lot about time and especially the quote existential calculus calculus of how we spend or waste the sliver of time allotted to us along the continuum of our being so he in his final years he he wrote this to a friend he was counseling a friend and he said set yourself free for your own sake gather and save your time which till lately has been forced from you or filched away or has merely slipped from your hands certain moments are torn from us some are gently removed others glide beyond our reach the most disgraceful kind of loss however is that due to carelessness um he felt that we couldn't slide through life in a trance so expectancy and vacate the present moment to lurch toward the next it was a kind of a living death and he said what man can you show me who places any value on his time who reckons the worth of each day who understands that he is dialing dying daily therefore hold every hour in your grasp lay hold of today's task and you will not need to depend so much upon while we are postponing life speeds by thank you seneca where are the senecas today where then we need some of them um there's an old native american elder story we were speaking about elders earlier and then elderhood true elderhood and whether in a state or place or beginning or ending or otherwise we're experiencing it's um it's vital to be present as seneca was saying and referent to and this is lost this native story stand still the trees ahead and the bushes beside you are not lost whoever wherever you are is called here and you must treat it as a powerful stranger must ask permission to know it and be known the forest breeds listen it answers i've made this place around you if you leave it you may come back again saying here no two trees are the same to raven no two branches are the same to ren if what a tree or a bush does is lost on you you are surely lost stand still the forest knows where you are you must let it find you so last piece is here you're jacob's ladder because every step or or leap of learning is a form of beginning isn't it a seeing and understanding from a new level with a wider wiser lens so i wrote this um a few years back you're jacob's ladder not the ancient biblical or allegorical one brimming with symbolism kabbalism virtuous as it is but the more touchable one of learning about self and life you can use lesson by lesson to climb to higher places of seeing and being your ladder of awareness worldly understanding that enables you to lift at will from the earthbound to the aerial above rooftops and treetops over walls and fires the way music can take you somewhere lighter loftier the way your passion freed can elevate and exhilarate your mind spirit molecules the escalator arawata of your own ever making to use often consciously ascendantly and beginnings um sparked me to close with um these last poems some one of course about metamorphosis becoming a butterfly brightly colored abundantly winged winged lighter than air to become one you must climb out of your chrysalis out of your carapace your unmetamorphosed self discover then enter your newer truer form and fly off fly forth flutter freely into the wider wilder world and next to last another blessing we had one last week and i thought this was a wonderful one too from our man john o'donoghue our great irishman poet philosopher life blesser and so for our year ahead on our lives ahead this is for a new beginning and out of the way places of the heart where your thoughts never think to wander this beginning has been quietly forming waiting until you were ready to emerge for a long time it has watched your desire feeling the emptiness growing inside you noticing how you willed yourself on still unable to leave what you had outgrown it watched you play with the seduction of safety and the grey promises that sameness whispered heard the waves of turmoil rise and relent wondered would you always live like this then the delight when your courage kindled and out you stepped onto new ground your eyes young again with energy and dream a path of plenitude opening before you though your destination is not yet clear you can trust the promise of this opening unfurled yourself into the grace of beginning that is at one with your life's desire awaken your spirit to adventure hold nothing back learn to find ease and risk soon you'll be home in a new rhythm for your soul senses the world that awaits you thank you john o'donoghue and here we are um each beginning can be a more meaningful metaphorical ending but ending as in a new beginning so this close as an opening of some kind something to ponder below the surface opening like an anemone like a hand like a book like an oyster like an eye like a passage like a seed like a frontier thank you again for listening and for feeling in and being part of these end-of-year sharings

74 of let's play the legend of zelda majora's mask and we are about to get underway with the final side quest in the game do you believe it so that's probably i'm going to wager that's the last time or second last time that you're going to see that Don the first day screen oh my goodness so what is the final cyclist well let's just take a look at our stuff here there's really nothing there but it's like all these masked we've used all these / at least one thing pretty much except this one the café's mask if you remember way back early on me LP first within the first ten episodes i think it was actually we got this from Madame aroma in the mayor's office and she asked us to look for her son cafe and we never did because we were just like will screw that would say that to later well I think it's been long enough now so we're gonna do that but how do we start well you can actually go around talking to people wearing this mask oh my god that's creepy Oh could this skin so pasty with that mask on its weird way you can actually go around talking to people are in this mask and they will give you different reactions and certain people actually give you clues as to where to find cafe or what happened doing or whatever so I'm just going to kind of walk around and show that I'm kind of half tempted to just leave this whole quest uncut but it is so long and kind of you have to wait around a lot then rashad can do it I'm probably gonna cut some stuff but um yeah Oh for that reason to that you're gonna have to wait around a lot you're going to need to I'll goggles my code again oh

YoMnw2cdAF4 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoMnw2cdAF4 | Orthogonal Trajectory (Definition & Types) | today we are going to start the new topic of differential equation that is orthogonal trajectory so first we will define what is orthogonal trajectory and then the types of orthogonal trajectory so mainly there are two types of orthogonal trajectories first is our cartesian coordinate where we use x y and z coordinate and the second form is the polar coordinate that is where we use r and theta so first we will define what is orthogonal trajectory so as the orthogonal trajectories it is the for family of curves so let there is a singly infinite family of curves which equation is given by f x y c is equal to zero where c is a variable parameter then the curves which curves these everywhere at right angles are called orthogonal trajectories that means both the curves cut each other by 90 degree now orthogonal trajectories make up curve derivatives then what will be the value of m2 orthogonal i am going to find current then that case m2 is equal to yaml cart is in coordinate kilogram that will be equal to minus dx by t y so what is orthogonal trajectory for cartesian it is the first form of orthogonal trajectory it is cartesian form where we use x and y coordinate so first we will see the what is the working rule so whatever the equation is given first we will have to differentiate the given equation or given equation is differentiated constant now if there is constant terms that constant terms are eliminated then in place of dividing d y by dx that is for orthogonal trajectory this term is replaced by minus or dx by t controller to integrate carrying it to find the final result now next is orthogonal trajectory for polar form generally this form is written as r of d theta by d r so same working rule if an equation is differentiated if there is constant term that that constant terms are eliminated by using the initial condition now in place of r d theta find the result first we'll see the problem based on cartesian form so first form is find the orthogonal trajectory of family of hyperbolas equation is given by x y is equal to c so first equation is given by k x y is equal to c so differentiating both side when we will differentiate x respectively differentiation one y constant and next y differentiation omega x constant so d pi by d x is equal to zero we have a constant calculated term if we have a low cost eliminated so here's a divided by d x is equal to minus y by x now for our orthogonal trajectory we will replace d y by d x to minus d x by t y so equation one becomes d y is it is minus d x by d y is equal to minus y by x now cross multiplication carrying a minus term cancel o jagger so your x d x is equal to y d y now when we see both the term in the one side x dx minus y d y is equal to zero now integrating both sides we will see x square by two x cube integration of jag x square y two minus so x square minus y square taking 2 as lcm 2 c 1 or we can write it as 2 c 1 is equal to a square e square is square minus y squared form a constant will be technically going to happen a square so x square minus y square is equal to a square is the result of the given equation now next problem is find the orthogonal trajectory of the family of rectangular hyperbola y square is equal to four ax in uh difference differentiating y square is equal to four x y square is equal to four x square difference of carrying is equation number one so y square differentiation two y x is equal to 4a by 2y that is 2a by y this is equation number 2. now from equation 1 a is equal to a value as you know fine carrying that will be equal to y y or x y cancel so it is y by 2x now for orthogonal trajectory d y by dx for no replace carrying a minus d x by d by c so minus d x by d y is equal to y divided by 2 x so minus 2x dx is equal to y2y or 2x dx plus 4y is equal to 0. now integrating both side we see 2 x square by 2 plus y square by 2 is equal to c so integrating it we get x square plus y square by 2 is equal to c this is the final result now third equivalent problem is find the orthogonal trajectory of the family of parabolas where pi is equal to a x square so you say we have no problem say you see method says [Music] so y is equal to ax square given differentiating both sides so d y by d x is equal to 2 2 times a x so d y by d x is equal now replacing dy by dx for orthogonal trajectory minus dx by dy so it is minus dx by dy is equal to 2y so integrating both sides we get x square by 2 is configuration number of x square by 2 this contribution which i got two y square by two is equal to c square i'll see i'm too lazy then yeah so x square plus two y square is equal to two c square first of all problems next is next question find the orthogonal trajectory of family of semi cubical parabolas whose equation is given by a y square is equal to x cube where a is a variable parameter so the given equation is a x square x cube again differentiating both side so we have 2 a y d y by d x is equal to x squared if x cube a differentiation three x square now from equation one say i'm looking for value find out a now for orthogonal trajectory d y by d x is replaced by minus d x by d y so 2 x minus d x by d y is equal to three y so cross multiply carrying it so three y d y plus two x d x is equal to zero it's going to trigger carrying it the y square integration y square by two x integration x square by 2 r constant of integration could be easy for me i'm known in linear courses here so it is c square so it can be written as 3 y square plus 2 x square plus 2 c 1 is c square squared the next question last question is the find the orthogonal trajectory of series of hyperbola so this equation is given by x to the power 2 by 3 plus y to the power 2 by 3 is equal to e to the power 2 by 3 the equation is x to the power 2 by 3 y to the power 2 by 3 is equal to e to the power 2 by 3 taken as equation number 1 differentiating equation 1 with respect to x so yes it's got differentiation two by three x to the power two by three minus one x to the power n differentiation is to the power and minus one again y to the power 2 by 3 got differentiation of jagged 2 by 3 y to the power 2 by 3 minus 1 our y capital condition with respect to x 0 divided by t x is equal to 0 so all kinds of equation angle is equation number one now for d y orthogonal d x is replaced by minus d x by d y would replace k d cross multiply currently from our equation x to the power 1 by 3 d x minus y to the power 1 by three d y is equal to zero now integrating it on the x the power and integration x to the power n plus one divided by n plus one so uh x to the power one by three plus one one by three plus one minus y to the power one by three plus one one by three plus one or very happy constant of integration minus y to the power four by three divided by four by three is equal to c four by three one lc move here x to the power four by three minus y to the power four by three is equal to four by three c obvious four by three seekers problems such problems foreign you | Abhijit Sengupta's

2yFDCfhmAwQ | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yFDCfhmAwQ | Frozen VS The Lion King : Movie Feuds ep91 | [INTRO] >>Adam: The Frozen VS Tangled episode was a huge success with over 1 million views. To celebrate I'm feuding Frozen again. This time against arguably the best Disney film ever animated. The Lion King. Yes, this is a cash grab. Let's start! [TITLE: Frozen -VS- The Lion King] >>Adam: Going to bring back the pun counter again for this episode so get ready for some purrfect (1) Lion King and Frozen quips. Both our flicks today contain a good amount of royalty. Frozen has our two leads, princess Anna and Queen Elsa carrying the bulk of the film on their shoulders. They bring a fantastic sisterly love to the screen. Voicing these roles are the lovely Kristen Bell and Broadway master Idina Menzel. Anna is the more approachable sister with her bubbly and clumsy personality while Elsa is has a more standoffish character, more frosty in nature. (2) Lion King gives us a prince by the name of Simba and he just can't wait to be king. He let's Scar know that every chance he can. 90's hearthrob JTT (short for Johnathan Taylor Thomas) brought this character to life. He's a rambunctious little cub who tends to get into trouble from time to time. He has a lot to live up to, being raised in a culture that is watching his every move. He's essentially a much less douchy version of Justin Beiber. We fortunately get to see him mature over time and he grows into a fine young man. Simba, not Beiber. No beiber is pretty awful still. Grown up Simba is voiced by Mathew Brodrick. Lioness Nala plays the supporting role in Lion King. She's not afraid to get into a little trouble either and can also hold her own in a fight. This kitty can scratch (3) The supporting roles come in all shapes in sizes. Ranging from the comedic duo of Timon & Pumba to a happy-go-lucky snowman that's not afraid of a little heat. There is a second helping of comedic relief in Frozen from Sven & Kristoff but Zazu and Raffiki are hard to top. That and we have a trio of Hyenas that get in some pretty good one-liners as well. I'd say these two have an equal number of great characters but the villains are were these two films separate. Scar is one of the best villains in the Disney universe and that's thanks to his diabolical nature and great performance by Jeremy Irons. He's also one of the most successful villains too. Maintaining rank as the king of Pride Rock for many years with his Hyena crew. Now Hans wasn't a lame baddie by any means but he doesn't get a lot of time spent on him and his twist at the end was cool but felt a bit forced. Frozen has a great assortment of characters but it's hard to beat the king of the jungle (4). [ROUND 2 : STORY] >>Adam: These movies are more similar than one might first think. Both tails, I emphisized tails (like a lions tale, just count it) (5) Both tails are that of kings and queens running away from their responsibility. Simba needs to come back to Pride Rock after a decade of being gone in order to bring balance to the land. Elsa needs to face her own problems, let go, if you must (6) for the sake of Arrandale. A lot of these problems could have probably been avoided had Disney not killed the damn parents in both films. Simba watches as his father Mufasa is crushed by a stampede, in the gorge, at the paws of Scar. Raw deal for James Earl Jones there. The worst part is, old uncle Scar pins the whole fiasco on Simba. Frozen kills both mother and father off in a horrific boat wreck. Naturally the girls become shut-ins from the world. Living their life in solitude. Actually, I'm not entirely sure why Anna couldn't go out and about but there is more nonsensacale writing in Frozen than a typical Pitbull song. I'm all for stretching the imagination but just a few lingering questions bother me. Elsa can create ice and snow and everything cold apparently, fine whatever. She's a female sub-zero. What I don't understand is how she can create what is clearly a fabric dress or make life. She brings a snowman and a giant monster to life. That's a pretty big deal folks. Lion King keeps things simple and focused. Simba thinks he murdered his dad. Runs away from home. Meets a rag-tag group of buddies who teach him Hakuna Matata. Get's this little guy to YOLO it up a bit. Years later his past comes back to haunt him and he must make right his sins from the past. It's a roaring good time (7) and keeps you focused from start to finish. You know, a lot of people have been making connections to the similar messages of Lion King and Frozen but no one is seeing the similarities to this and Game of Thrones. Seriously, with all the shocking deaths, betrayls and twists in these films I could easily see some the characters crossing over to GOT. (do new intro with the GOT song and cartoon character names. [ROUND 3 : ACTION / EFFECTS] >>Adam: These are both stunning films. Lion King gives us top of the line traditional hand animation. Showcasing beautiful sunsets, grand shots of valleys and canyones. A great amount of detail on the animals and some lifelike movements from our feline friends. Frozen is a new film so it obviously has a shinier coat of paint on it. The style is similar to that of Tangled which is to say, bright, colorful and all around eye pleasing. Unique camera angles like an under-the-ice view and an insane amount of detail on the environments showcase just how powerful our computer rendered animation has gotten over the years. Lion King gives us plenty of action with a hyena chase early on to the instantly classic stampede sequence. The final showdown is both fun and gripping as our lovable side characters step up to help fend off the ravenous hyenas. Raffiki once again steals the show with a series of martial art attacks. I would have liked to see a bit more in the action department from Frozen. Particularly from Elsa. Her powers were very cool (unintentional pun but let's count it anyways) (8). There is a Beauty and the Beast eque chase from wolves, a snow creature confrontation and the race to save Anna from her cold fate (9). I am pushing Lion King again and I fear it's not going to matter to a lot of you. Frozen is the new hotness still with the kids but I've been suprised before. Perhaps Lion King can pull this off in the votes. There is snow way of knowing right now (10) [ROUND 4 : MUSIC] >>Adam: Music can make or break a Disney movie. In the case of Frozen it certainly makes it. Do You Want to Build a Snowman is a really clever song. It's depressing as all hell considering it revolves around the broken relationship between Anna and her sister. Topped off with the sad fate of their parents. (Starts crying) Why are you so sad Disney? I shouldn't even have to bring up Let It Go. It's the main reason Frozen did so well. The song is catchier than a fish on land. Did that joke make sense? Doesn't matter. For the First Time in Forever, Love is an Open Door and Fixer Upper are definitely also worth mentioning. Now if you thought that Frozen had the lion's share of songs (11) you are sorely mistaken. It's actually ice to see (12) Disney putting this much effort into their music again but man does Lion King has some doozies. First off the film kicks in with Circle of Life. Setting the tone for the world we are about to enter. Oh wait, Frozen has an odd intro song too that sounds eerily similar to that. Moving on. We get treated to numbers like Oh I just Can't Wait to be King, Can you Feel the Love Tonight, Hakuna Matata, a nice rendition of In the Jungle and my personal favorite, Be Prepared. Fun fact: Scar's voice actor Jeremy Irons attempted to sing the song but couldn't hit the notes so they brought in a secondary actor for the song. If you have the Lion King extended edition then I'm sorry because you have to endure the ear peircing song Morning Report by Zazu. That song should have stayed on the cutting Reindeers are better than People number. Luckily both are short and forgettable. All in all though the music is stellar and songs that will be sung until the ends of time. [CONCLUSION] >>Adam: It's pretty obvious where I stand. I'm in the Lion King camp, seated at the right hand of King Simba himself. That doesn't mean it automatically wins though. Oh no, no no quite the contrary I fear. You guys have the final say and make your voices heard! To vote just simple like one of the comments below that I'll post. We can also try something fun and have you tweet #Frozen or #LionKing @MovieFeuds. Since I'm told the kids tweet now and then. If you are a fan of movies and a bigger fan of Harry Potter I encourage you to stick around and subscribe. At the beginning of August I'm doing Potter Month all month long. Each week a different feud from the Harry Potter films and I would love you to join me! More than just reviews, this is Movie Feuds. (Hey John Flickinger, do you want to build a snowman? Well at least come on my show next week to feud Dawn of the Apes). | Adam Does Movies | UCmuP70--NYoqgyo3N0ZwDCA | 2014-07-15 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 1,649 | 8,947 |

gave me a comment criticized me for going kind of crazy that you know I'm allowed to take my time a little bit more so maybe you'll do that this is a red level so let's do that first a Clint Eastwood movie with two exits you know yeah and I was so told you know I'll Cal there's no prizes for getting all Daggett on there's a meter that means I have to do it it's science pokey above the sand Pablo this way up here somewhere it's a lot of hiraman this is a lot more pyramid than there are in real life [Music] it's pretty when you come back mr. pokey is everyone's tempura and there go yeah you gotta help me out by giving me a bad guy Oh God moles like to Chuck and I like the slide did you see that spot like two individuals in there if I can pop their head so so target all right yeah what happens if you put a lot of Lotus in the lam Donna Elias pollen with whatever stands everything what's that Oh ball he exploded he's not going to go to Jerkins house later and more not a pic and sell bottle look good a cactus and book okay so if they're holding the rod it counts as a danger to society like if I just stay here for example yeah okay that's how you get here oh you got inside thing and say hey I'm in danger sweet yeah sweet indeed with being alright so just kind of chill out here eventually that guy's gonna throw a mom yeah it's quite a world so how do you do this you just gotta chill here away you won't even be able to blow that thing up there because he's a fool mrs. money is worth five dollars so fool never has won five dollars the idiom says alright so thank you for destroying yourself I appreciate it the service is good I try to understand what to do here though I guess you want to hang out here so he blows that up so you can go here I guess I'll take the big [Music] Oh on here so you can write it don't write it though but I don't know this is this was meant to be more than obstacle for that make a big thing out of something good jump over my ah shoot the normal mole got me not even a special brand though flying Oh pokey pokies losing pieces more pokey he got the gift of flight and then fell to pieces this is terrible what a sad story were telling [Music] but I was not fast enough not nearly fast enough precise enough um man I might get myself killed for this that's a good part all right there you go that up everyone can pretend to be happy it's not the last one I'm still in danger at all times do not put me in the head as much Mike right there oh you can just do that and have a hyper slow bomb well I did a aim oh boy it's a cactus and old club acting together near a stager is for everyone okay so we gotta survive you while you throw bombs that way I'm still holding the key like an idiot do it there we go I'm dead it's fine it's fine I have made peace with that yeah I have made peace with that I got all the coins whatever I was just in a very weird spot and I don't know like this is so far past beyond common sense that felt like maybe I just missed a lot some the market system not there look at that you're full of stars you're a superstar now mr. mole you like that I've did that for you winning team this is a scary

see where I am without being a brain to my mom so it was real close so I should be able to just kind of go down there we go look at that passage and the snows of the snow is yellow and brown man everything leads to weird different places I I guess this might be the end of the game because it is a shorter game this leads to Sky Mall Skylark so let's check out this stage here let it piss add Gondwana all right normal exit' coins are still saying Oh for the wrecks got a sweet sound like when the fact but I don't feel like there's wind if there is a subtle or maybe it'll grow over time like I'm jumping straight up here like I'm just I'm not feeling it so Oh what but you can't have a sliding rag sweaters ha ha ha oh there's angry racks you can tell because he broke his neck that's real sad that's real unfortunate man it's kind of stuck like that drinking turkeys okay so this is math to make this harder then I caught myself it's fine so this is an enemy only note you seen those before anything else so we're Lily you can go in here yeah that's what ice is suspected Oh Hera Rex huh yeah always parallel parking that guy and stomping and not bring this back to do so good nation weird statement of me everyone's got I've got probably more than one I don't know I got what am I looking at here what is okay so my goal here is to make angry guy fall here yeah see cuz those blocks I can touch them how I want I just stood there and I live learning no lessons oh shoot I want to go down there though he may be like maybe something cool in this orange pipe cool I mean that guy bouncing right at me that is pretty cool like why is this not sure find it on one fell swoop now you switched and running fast sand freezes when you go in up high like in real life this is a pretty good simulation Arkansas and surrounding environments like Arkansas jr. Argand gone I don't think that bargain gone is a real place I'm sorry I just made that one up I thought it would make me feel special to invent my own geography and honestly I think I was right I do feel special you can't change my mind all right so this time yeah Don's a guy so those are solid for me for you for me let's calm down here mr. chin I wanna touch it I know it looks pretty soft I panicked and I was just jumping with that guy this is difficult behavior for me I'm big again I got three coins if I can get two point nine and look at that he's turning to a normal rack suppose racks nation I get any high enough of course at will alright there's an extra mushroom there for me for one you do that and goes Appetit free Oh rats Morgan countrymen of the zucchini flavor town water sewer system water but sentences probably somewhere beyond we're gonna have to sitting down just having a good old garden said can't touch me you're just a weird bouncing obstacle at this point challenge room the baby except they all different sizes and colors bounce sure can alright so that's one way universe [Music] this time Barre chords okay okay all right this is uh whoa whoa moment panic there I mean like you could change owns but if you can't burn - like that's like it's it's nice but it doesn't serve a purpose you're just ending lives for no reason if you end like if you end eight lives in order to gain one of yours it makes a bit sense in the cosmic sense but if you don't get anything then it's just destroying for the sake of hearing a little sound bag and I mean I get it but I probably should it's right I'd whoa oh yeah look at that bounce on this guy it makes a plow sound that's fun head on over here I guess I don't know what we're doing here exactly all right so I've introduced you to a greater country of here oh I see I'm not sure you get that and stay alive I'm sure there's a way because that's the last one so you can just get it oh look at that everyone's sliding I don't know if you can slide a slider and I don't want to try it just seems rude I can bounce on hello that's so much fun and then I crushed their cranium Mario is a bad guy here what's the store why are we going in this pit with coins and that's how you reach back here this is normality so next time we're gonna go up into heaven but first we got a complete numero uno twice the mice thing does a third [Music] good we live without balancing Murr earlier it's fine it's fine it's fine I got it like I said fifth one drop drop don't think about just drop do drop and then you know say drop a lot make you sound important | raocow | UCjM-Wd2651MWgo0s5yNQRJA | 2020-04-07 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 1,898 | 9,332 |
rrgTyBt--pU | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrgTyBt--pU | Let's Play The Legend of Zelda The Wind Waker: Part 41 | The Lazy One | and now what I'm going to want to set up here it's my treasure hauling set so we can go ahead and pick up this all right treasure that I saw over here I think this one's probably just silver rupee this is probably one of the few actual remember off hand off memory somewhere around here i'm gonna guess like right here second faintly hear the sound happening yeah i mean i just get my treasure charts out aren't I oh boy well here's when they haven't opened a shark island I'm sure where I got that one probably wasn't paying attention maybe it was from those three platforms from before with the Wiz robes oh here we go sail on over this direction and that should be roughly good yeah sounds a lot louder now you know like a while bird he's not loud he's just hockey mm-hmm even the bull was kind of smirking there is he that's deep like pull up a thing you rarely ever see out like the boat summer count he ever does that like legitimately it was just the weird camera angle it was all rights and there's one more island that i want to sale to to finish off this recording because I this is a crazy i'ma put like an hour and 20 minutes on this room but uh next up is the eastern ferry island which is its south west of us or just south southwest yeah so i'll meet you guys there no one no I'm actually not going to meet you guys there I mean oh I'm going to talk to you like it a good LP or does how are you guys doing today's a June June sixth maybe yeah cuz it x tomorrow my French Brad and that's Jude seven that we schedule that for it's gonna be pretty fun I don't know we got class of 10 people and that the only 10 people that suck it all the way through french immersion to the end and it's just going to be so silly because they're gonna be like less than 40 people the grad all total with auto parents and stuff and actually speaking because I'm French valedictorian or something but oh whatever you probably don't want to really hear with that but how are you guys do and I hope you enjoy sorry for the formality of these like past videos with the sea exploration stuff I noticed we kind of just like standard formulas and stuff like you just cut into the next I'll into the next I'll until next time just kind of part of why I want to leave this one in this sailing trip because I mean this is a part of the game you know it's a pretty damn awesome part of the game in my opinion might not be some people's cup of tea but I mean we're already here oh look another treasure that is so many treasured that we've already gotten its label reporting hero but what can i say i'm gonna have to get all 49 of them eventually actually it's not exactly 49 / mean they're technically is but not all of them are treasure charts if that makes sense they don't make more sense later on dammit i missed it i see here now i'm gonna figure this one out on my own I think I think i mighta sale a little bit past it I'm just gonna take random guesses until I get this though so we'll see oh that didn't take long nice long at all i'm seeing the sun setting everything that's cool perfect lighting man perfect mmm like stairs well god never really noticed that too much before come on our piece that's fine too I mean 11 hundred rupees that's pretty staggering women nice to get this before i went to win fox then probably could tackle another one of those auctions because i gotta get I think I stuff to get a treasure chart and a heart piece at that auction actually maybe I already got the heart beats me that's the one I got before all i know is i still have two treasures hello hey cork right he was here there should be a blue to jelly somewhere around here though under the tree yeah there he is should I figured I mean just hanging out in the shade that's what I would do oh yeah you live today actually no you don't buy a lot of this don't daily don't go away like normal and hit chu jelly they just go flying across the screen or something but those blue ones they stay in spot and then it's like so that you don't accidentally hit them into the ocean and lose your blue to jelly or something that's why they do that I think but it's just still so funny to see them stand perfectly stationary not abide by the conservation of energy at all it's great well I guess they do like you justify that by saying that true jellies are sticky but that's just gross so regardless here's a great theory for us a fairy fountain oh gosh she's like lavender on the bottom that's cool I sure her whole body is sort of lavender heliotrope ish and as you might imagine since we needed the bombs to get into this island which is going to do for us is your next contestant the price is right here I've got our bombs 26 now 60 good lord can we only care like 40 maximum in in the n64 rooms and now we've got 60 on our first upgrade and there is a second upgrade don't let that fool you my god for I haven't seen this game was with like power-ups all right and uh-oh you see whatever I don't need your ten rupees anyways if anything i'd like to get one rupee right now so i could have won 111 rupees total so where is the fish for the silent gotta find him first before anything before i talk about the platform in the background that platform that iphone something weird i always say like it's pronounced platform but I likes a plat foam most of the time like plate foam I don't know ok here is my man a second Lattimore man for Corey Ashley because I actually want to sort of end this recording off epically by getting the mermen thing for the Tower of the God directly south of us you can see a nice little hook around from Star Island to the Tower of the gods that's what planning a route will do for you it'll end it off perfectly where it is they hold an auction every night over there I'm windfall island every night that people gather in the Hall of wealth is that was calling huh all the rich yeah the rich and me and when I'm going to end win those auctions to just be both patient and bold yeah which is easier said than done afraid from what I hear they got something great things up there on that auction block to like heart shaped stuff oh you mean like a recovery heart yeah that would be pretty awesome alright sweet and the only thing left in this square right now is this platform so we're going to go ahead and do that can't be anything too special for sure i'm guessing we're just going like a Boko Bob I see you if anything as a reward from this platform but better safe than sorry am i right plus these platforms are so awesome so much fun to just take them all out okay man it's getting dark up in here too that's so weird how like if you like approach a platform at night time I don't know if it's supposed to trigger that but like it starts raining a lot of the time really getting windy or getting super dark or something like it's doing here all right oh you guys I need grinding more joking so uh brought us to you I am man and if you grind telescopes off of you though oh I hit me the crotch is what fears gonna fly and that's gotta hurt mmm so there's nothing for those guys maybe it's just a deal with the cannons now I don't know why I'm singing the tetris music that's weird I mean I guess this can be sort of construed as Tetris but you have to have a really fucked-up mind like mind like mine in order to think that didn't I call it Boko Baba seat to smile in boco Baba seed that's great great we'll see if I do this what mmm oh man I didn't realize where my boat was I trying to land in my book I've done that like once before in my life landed on the boat as you flip off those platforms and like I said here i mend things off rather nicely so i can segue into the next video rather nicely as well by heading over the Tower of the gods and just getting that murder man because we need him I should have gone when I was here like the first time I guess but it all worked out better in the end anyways how this thing is so big like seriously you can actually pretty much see this tower the top of the gods from anywhere in the Great Sea exit maybe like the extreme bottom left corner whoa those are little weird lighting thing as I approach whatever except maybe like the extreme left bottom corner that's probably the farthest area away from the tower of the gods that you can get and you might not be able to see it from there what would that be that would be horseshoe island I think guess we'll do a little bit of a empirical test when we do that I don't know but for now let's just shut up about all that and get this Matt fish data see what he got for me I thought he was like too far away to get triggered by that ok apparently not works out horse yeah yeah whatever I'm Twila reading that good lord she gave me this tower to god it's gotta be a one big-ass chart right oh my god yeah hate of the whole sector what the hell what's go I got a fish fortune on a small fry and from what I can tell it looks like you faded to come to this place many times and the keys that control fate are none other than the lucky in the items notice the triumph performs there's some sort of magical utensils if you want learn more about the triumph force toss me I got tingles really now I know I may be only a fish but my fortune-telling is uncannily accurate you better believe it small fry as your pinkies that's your pinkie sense i guess or your bluey senses the case would be with you and with that I am going to have to end off this record section recession this recording recession yes okay that's why I should do I should call recording sessions just shorten that call them recessions there you go so um yeah and with this graceful little cliff hanger here just a side of this big-ass door the Tower of the gods and as the morning breaks to perfect thanks so much for watching this recording opening

C4qoGtxhspM | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4qoGtxhspM | The Council of Nicaea by Jason Burns | hi folks this is jay what you okay today is good to see you we're good i just look at the Council of Nicaea I just want to read you a few facts and what I do I I'd like you to see a few clips about the Council of Nicaea this is from inspired philosophies he does some brilliant videos and this is it's just a few minutes on his killer Nicaea have a look at the whole video the truth about the Council of Nicaea it's a very vogue very very good but just a few minutes he busts some myths that have been going around the internet the pre competing views of Christ then the Emperor Constantine assembled them all together to decide on one view of Christ the Council of Nicaea before this occurred there were several different competing views of Christ then the Emperor Constantine assembled them all together to decide on one view of Christ they met for days fighting and bickering until finally the current view of Christianity one and the divinity of Christ was declared then the new orthodoxy you've used its power to start out and erase all other competing views of Christianity or so we're told you know I hear this story a lot from atheists cults Muslims and several other non-christian groups AO is key give me this generic story to try to get the Council of Nicaea made up the divinity of Jesus and created a new version of Christianity however this is all I ever hear this generic story I never get any more details from skeptics and there's a good reason why because when we study the details of what happened before during and after the council met this fable is easily debunked and we see the Christ's divinity was not made up at the council so let's start with events that led up to the council when february2014 fourth in 30 380 the worst persecution of Christians began under the emperor diocletian and lasted until emperor Galleria's finally issued a general inch of Tolerance in 311 ad two years later in 313 ad with the Edict of Milan the Emperor Constantine finally legalized Christianity and allowed its practice I want to stop here and make sure this means clear Constantine did not make Christian be the official religion of the Empire he simply commanded official tolerance of Christianity he did however outlaw Jews from Spain Christian gladiator shows although they did persist until the fifth century it wasn't until 380 under the emperor theodosius that Christianity was left of the only legal religion shortly after Christianity was made legal a pastor from Alexandra's name arias began preaching the idea that Jesus was not God but a created being he gained the following he began disputing with Alexander the Bishop of Alexandria so in 321 80 a local council declared arias inheritance however areas just moved to Cholistan where he gave the larger following and over the course of the next few years the debate became so intense and it gained the attention of Emperor Constantine Constantine who had just unified the Empire didn't want anything they would threaten division he saw the debate between the Christians and areas as a threat to the stability of the Empire so he moved to settle it he officially called the council in 325 AD there were no Gnostics involved there were no even in some wealth or any other groups the council was called the settle disputes between Christians and areas only most other heretical views of Christian be like Gnosticism I'd mostly died out by this point and a majority of those professing Christians or Orthodox Christians there was not a wide variety of different views of the council although Constantine originally invited over 1800 bishops from across the Empire only around 300 were able to a tenant most of them are from the east with only about a dozen representing the west now should remember what happened to these men less than two decades ago most of them suffered through one of the greatest Christian persecutions of all time many of them face brutal torture and imprisonment for their faith so respectable so you know the idea that it was just purely political and they'd gone through and tremendous persecution these bishops and many of them wanted to be faithful to the Word of God and when they met at the couch when I see a day with China DC ology one or two couple of bishops were very politically minded so that's the myth of the securest historians and everybody else mythologic mitr doing mythological and reflections on Nicaea so let's just the council of nicea in 325 AD were they inventing the deity of Jesus and what about did they decide which book for in and which books were out of the New Testament and did they suppress all these nice tic tacs and venom oh this is so overstated at the Council of Nicaea the the bishops that gather together we're trying to define the deity of Jesus and they wanted to make sure they struck a balance that was in tune with scriptural teaching and what the Apostles actually taught and what Jesus himself taught because the danger was emphasizing the deity at the expense of humanity or perhaps go in the other direction de-emphasizing the deity in order to give emphasis to the immunity and so the theologians have gathered had to wane physical evidence and try to be fair to all the evidence at hand so you know that's uh excuse me that's a very fair and that's a very very fair statement sorry I'm just it's a very first statement that there was there was obviously political stuff going on because constant I wanted unity the in the empire but if you read the primary source material of many of these bishops they were very interested and it was very important to them about theology and it was theology that sorry it was theology that was at heart at the heart of what they were doing most of them and I see what James White have to say about the castle of nasioc concerning glen beck and his comments all the council of nicea if you don't know when else that happened blame it on the council of nicea that seems to be the the operative mechanism that people have had come up with it I have heard so many amazing things attributed to the council in ICM remember you can't get the original video anymore because Abdullah Islander loosely pulled it down but a villa and the guys over London produce this video about how allegedly the book so the New Testament were chosen especially the Gospels and they talked about eyewitnesses that were actually from like a hundred years with here and stuff like that is it was quite humorous but how they locked all the candidates of the Gospels all the different Gospels into a room the next morning only the four canonical Gospels were left on the table and all this really really loony stuff well again if you want to blame something on Christianity blame of the council pneus that's what Glenn Beck does here but again in the process he ends up engaging in tremendous anachronism and I think you all will recognize it let's let's listen to 2 Gwen back from his his radio program I'm talking about the council night and the Dead Sea Scrolls I tell you we almost need to put together a time capsule I was talking about this yesterday with David Barton are the day before then we need to put the time capsule almost together in our children we need to teach them the eternal truths and we also need to teach them the the divine truths of our founding documents and plant them deep inside of them so they can never ever be rooted out because they may be the vessel that carries those you know the Dead Sea Scrolls you know what they are Stu do you know the dead sea scrolls are well of course I don't come on most people don't I'm not I've heard of them i don't really know do you have no idea why they were there sarah average person doesn't know any idea taking bets a while why the dead sea scrolls are there knows something villages okay good even though I've explained as a nice program a couple of times I'm glad to see that then glad to see that even the people that work with me every day 20 mins well there's we were actually talking about American Idol last thing I got a guy won it was on dreaming so here's what happened when Constantine decided he was going to cobble together an army um she did the council of nicea right path yeah council of nicea and what they did is they brought all of the religious figures together all the christians and then they said okay let's put together the Apostles Creed lets you know you guys do it and so they brought all the religious scripture together and that's when the Bible was first bound and everything else and then they said anybody that disagrees with this is a heretic and off with her head well that's what the dead sea scrolls are the dead sea scrolls are are those scriptures that had at the time that they said they are destroying all of this truth whether it's truth or not is is up to the individual but then at that 9 those people thought that this was something that needed to be preserved and so they rolled up the scrolls and they put them in clay pots and they they put him in the back of caves where no one could find them they were hidden scripture because everything was being destroyed that disagreed with a Council of Nicaea and Constantine that's what those things are our children must become our clay pots our children must be taught the things that we know to be true those things that we know to be self-evident that all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights among them life liberty and the pursuit of a happiness those things must be put into our clay pot our children they must also be put into us but for those things to not disintegrate we must be a clean vessel we must be a a clay pot that does not have something inside of it that is rotting I'd seem like you're kidding me oh yeah because I've never last week you know what it is it possible the US Constitution was in there as well betcha Constantine rollin you I made glove by it was just talking I want to go back and work through this but I have a feeling and turns and fan and channels came the same conclusion I did just now um I think what he's doing is he's confusing the Dead Sea Scrolls in a Nagamani library there are people who theorize can't prove this but there are people who theorize that long after the Council of Nicaea especially around the time that a phinehas wrote his 39th festo letter with the Canon listing that um that the reason that the various Gnostic texts found at Nagamani were hidden away at that time was because of some official book burning jihad going on and I have a feeling he's probably heard that one someplace what you get is totally theoretical um you know just being sort of well you know their money than this or not but now you put that together but the Dead Sea Scrolls just for glenn beck's edification the Dead Sea Scrolls predate cranks and they come from the century before Christ so council nice ians 325 AD so we're about 400 years off their gland the net sea scrolls are 400 years earlier at least I mean there is older ones amongst the Qumran caves but um they're at least 400 years prior to the council of nicea and anything like that but I told you if you want to blame something on somebody blame on the council nicely let me back this up a second I'm playing this on something that's really not all that easy to back up on uh but I wanted to go through just a couple of points here that he that he see ya right yeah council of nicea and what they did is they brought all of the room actually I need to back up just a little bit before that because he he was talking about why it happened yeah cancelled Nicaea and to cobble together an army okay so the council that he wants to cobble together an army now remember this is Constantine who in in three 12 it's about you know nothing he takes role he has an army okay he's not wanting to cobble together Roman Empire so he already has Murphy hahaha hey together there is evidence that he was concerned about unity of the Empire as a whole and by 3 25 12 years after you come on which made Christianity you know stop persecution against Christianity he saw that as a hopeful means of helping to hold the roman empire together was to have a united Chris mhmm that's very important but he wasn't trying to cobble together in her you 18 bishops and primarily from the east though the West Was was not overly well represented at the council messiness and it was only Christian bishops not all religious leaders because there's been all sorts of other religions represented the Roman Empire at that time as well so not quite act for all the Christians and then they said okay let's put together the Apostles Creed I mean the Apostles Creed comes before the Nicene Creed um and after the nice English you know you guys do it and so they brought all the religious scripture together and that's when the Bible was first bound and now as that's not what the Bible is first bound I'm not sure what you mean by bound I mean if codex an addict is because Vaticanus both come from the time of the council of nicea uh then you might say that you have your first full coat but X manuscripts then from that time what are there were those existed before that we don't know was certainly given their own persecution of there may have been that were destroyed we just don't know but I have a feeling again given that mr. Beck is a Mormon that he might have in the back of his mind there the idea of the choosing of the can and things like that which again um had absolutely nothing to do with the council I say everything else and then they said anybody that disagrees with this is a heretic and off with her head no um out of their bishopric not off with their head um no one was executed the very few bishops would not sign were deposed but they would they were not executed so it was not off with their head well that's what the dead sea scrolls are you know because the Dead Sea Scrolls I had been buried in Judea and hillside about 400 years before the dead sea scrolls are those scriptures that people had at the time that they said they are destroying all of this truth what actually like again I really think what he's he's thinking of here or has heard about obviously have any first-hand information on our the NAG Hammadi texts the Gnostic texts that were discovered in Nagamani contemporaneously discovery lies within a decade of the Dead Sea scrolls and so just a bunch of old stuff found the desert so dead sea scrolls Nagamani yeah oxyrhynchus whatever just sort of squish them all together and make some kind of odd interesting commentary yeah I'm black I don't think you know what you're talking well so that's so that was a James White's on Glenn Beck there but just shows you how people can put out stuff about the Council of Nicaea and haven't got a clue what the talking about and I'm just going to read a little snippet this is on an article of mana ship mana and mana jism threshold and ancient church history Reverend Charles Biggs important councils and creeds of Christendom this is what he says about the Nicene Creed the Nicene Creed is the most widely accepted and use brief statement of the Christian faith many groups that do not have a tradition of using it in the services nevertheless are committed to the doctrine that it teaches such groups as Eastern Orthodox Roman Catholics Anglican to Lutheran's and Calvinists traditionally in the West the Apostle Creed is used at baptism than the Nicene Creed at the Eucharist the issues is only the Nicene Creed as the Apostles Creed was developed and Ronald the chief enemy was Gnosticism which denied that Jesus was true the man the emphasis on of the Creed reflects this concern however when the Nicene Creed was drawn up the chief enemy was Iranian Iranian which denies that that Jesus was fully God what is a rayon ism arias was a presbytery in Thunder Egypt of early 300 he taught that the father in the beginning created the Sun and that the Sun in conjunction with the father then proceeded to create the world the result of this was to make the Sun a created being and hence not God in any meaningful sense but the closest things to it Alexander the Bishop of Alexandria sent for areas and questioned in areas did not recant from his position and was X community by council and Egypt Egyptian bishops the Iranian position has been revived in our own day by the watchtower society or jehovah's witnesses who heil arious as a great witness to the truth and put constantine some of the Council of Bishops in Nicaea in 325 at the bishops of the church repudiated areas produced the first draft of what is now called the night see-cret after neisha swith the defender of Orthodox in this period and then opposed areas he became Bishop of Alexandria after the death of Alexandria was a spoken sportsman for the full deity of Christ so basically the issue is one of theology and now I want to show you this this is on the to Torian project.org and you've got the Council of Nicaea and the Bible so it's on ww dr. tolian dot org and look up the council of nicea and the bible and here you can you can get the documents of of the cash so you can't see right in there but and now you can get the you can get the article on so you can get the article called the Council of Nicaea at the Bible on the title nian park project all right if you type in ww2 Tony org the council of nicea in the bible and you can get primary source material where you can actually read the documents and Eusebius Theodorus socrata keiko socrates earthen asia's many many other primary source material and it's well footnoted article with very scholarly information very very scholarly stuff there and that will give you a primary source material in study in the subject rather than just listening to people on the internet actually go and study it yourself rather than hearing what people are saying bottom line is Constantine called the Council of Nicaea because there was a rift in the Empire between the Orthodox piety and arias is party they met together and it was sorted out theologically they debated it in discuss dip the orthodox party won not because of political but because of debate and discussion about what was biblical or not after that there was an ongoing battle between the Aryans and the orthodox party arias was able to and some of his friends were able to manipulate high key people in in the government and give political power and gave the orthodox party a complete run for the money but after neisha stuck to his guns and five times he was exiled but he came back and eventually the orthodox party because of a thorn asia stickability a theological commitment won the day so there was some politics involved but to caricature it that Constantine produced these new books and Constantine force the bishops to stay at what they stated is just not correct all right it's much more complex than very theologically motivated history that you need to realize those are my thoughts all right I'm going to close now and hope that was a blessing to you and so and so take care all right | Africa Without Borders |

study it is to correlate pulmonary angiography findings with well score in predicting the pulmonary embolism pulmonary embolism is the third leading cause of cardiovascular related deaths with the prevalence of pulmonary embolism in a hospitalized individuals is 15 to 26 percent clinically the patients might present with dyspnea chest pains and cope shock or hypertension and the clinical diagnosis is difficult and there is a wealth criteria which helps us to assess the risk stratification based on the uh clinical symptoms in patients probably with acute pulmonary embolism and his for which history and examination is necessary diagnosis of pulmonary embolism is includes ventilation perfusion scanning contrast enhanced CT artery geography Mr Imaging and standard pulmonary artery geography the multi detector CT arteriography is the Imaging modality of the choice and has the highest sensitivity and specificity for detecting Ebola in the main low bar and segmental pulmonary arteries in addition this can also detect pulmonary arterial hypertension and abnormalities of perfusion as well methods we have conducted a retrospective study on 41 patients who had clinical suspicion of pulmonary embolism and all the patients had a city pulmonary angiography done in Case Medical Academy coming to the CD protocol it was done so in GE Revolution Evolution machine 128 slice and plane and arterial phase was done with 1.2 mm axial section taken through a pieces of the lung to the lower burden of the liver and multiplayer reform which were obtained MIP and VR images were also obtained for pulmonary artery and iota coming to Wells School based on the clinical features for all the patients were assigned will score and were classified into low intermediate and high risk low risk was a patient with zero to two points intermediate was a patient with three to six points and high risk is more than six points coming to the results uh among the total patients 39 patients had a high clinical suspicion of acetyl pulmonary angiography and two were having Fearless clinical suspicion of CT uh sorry pulmonary embolism and the age group of the patients who had clinical features were ranging from 25 to 78 years and the frequency of pulmonary angiography in sorry pulmonary embolism in our study was uh 20 25 people had pulmonary embolism which was corresponding to 61 percent while 16 patients did not have embolism which was corresponding to 39 out of part of these patients who had pulmonary embolism 15 patients were male that is 60 of them were males and 40 were females and uh among the patients who had pulmonary embolism 56 percent of the patients had acute embolism and 44 of the patients had chronic embolism here we can see a 54 year old male patient who had presented with history of DVT whose City axis images show a chronic thrombus noted in the left interlover artery coming to the second image there is a 53 year old female who presented with sudden onset of breathlessness so CTE actual images show an eccentric rhombus which is seen in the right and left pulmonary arteries and these this thrombus has seen extending into these segmental arteries as well uh and coming to the correlation with the wealth score uh when the well score was given as three uh three patients had a well score of low risk 18 or 18 patients had the well score of intermediate and high risk and Renovations had uh higher high risk so uh on CT pulmonary and Joe the patients who had uh low risk did not have any embolism whereas the page among the 18 patients 50 of the patients with intermediate risk had pulmonary embolism and among 20 of the patients 15 patients had uh embolism in high risk category the most common clinical presentation was dyspnea or breathlessness which was seen in 30 patients out of 44 amongst which uh 73 of the patients had embolism 14 patients in our study had defense deep vein thrombosis or had a previous history of DVD but of which only nine patients had embolism so coming to DVT and its correlation with pulmonary embolism uh patients who had DVT and having pulmonary embolism was 36 percent of the patients and 64 of the patients who had pulmonary embolism did not have DBT based on the location uh the most common site for embolism in our study was the segmental arteries followed by a light and left pulmonary arteries 58 of the patients had promised in the segmental arteries also multiple Central segmental and subsequental arteries were seen in 12 of the patients coming to the secondary features or other Associated features which were observed in our story in patients who had embolism was right ventricular hypertrophy Mosaic attenuation pulmonary arterial hypertension and fluoride Fusion among which 65 of the patients were pulmonary embolism had right particular hypertrophy and Pulmonary particle hypertension coming to the amazing findings of CTP uh pulmonary embolism or CTP in our study where one was sign is nothing but a central filling defect with peripheral peripheral contrast yielding a follow mint sign these are the images showing the problem inside coming to the second image on the left side

V1Aok0qsLKI | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1Aok0qsLKI | Thomas Henshaw (alchemist) | Wikipedia audio article | Thomas Henshaw (1618–1700) was an English lawyer, courtier, diplomat and scientific writer. While not a published alchemist, he was a significant figure in English alchemical work from the 1650s onwards; he is known to have used the pen-name "Halophilus". == Early life == The son of Benjamin Henshaw and his wife Anne, and brother to Nathaniel Henshaw. he was baptised at St. Mary Magdalen, Milk Street, City of London, on 15 June 1618. After attending school at Barnet and then at Cripplegate, London, under Thomas Farnaby, he was entered as commoner at University College, Oxford, in 1634, and remained there five years without taking a degree. At the suggestion of Obadiah Walker and Abraham Woodhead, he studied mathematics, a student of William Oughtred at Albury, Surrey for nine months from 1636, finding it more stimulating than the teaching of his tutor John Elmherst. He also knew the Rosicrucian scholar William Backhouse, who was another of Oughtred's pupils.Henshaw entered the Middle Temple, and in 1637 became tutor there to John Evelyn, to become a lifelong friend, and his brothers. On the outbreak of the First English Civil War he joined Charles I at York. Soon afterwards he went to London, and was taken prisoner by the Parliamentarians. == Continental travel == Henshaw was allowed to leave England, on giving security not to join the king's army again, and sailed to Holland. He took part in a campaign under William II, Prince of Orange; and then entered the French army, in which he became major, and at some point served under Sir Robert Moray. He subsequently travelled through Spain, and on to Italy, where he lived at Rome, Venice and Padua. He spent a period from late 1644 as the travelling companion of John Evelyn, whom he had encountered at Pisa. They visited Athanasius Kircher's showy rooms in Rome together. When Evelyn moved on to Venice, Henshaw spent time accompanying the young Henry Howard. Evelyn, Henshaw and Francis Bramston were then together at Padua for a period.At the end of the 1640s Henshaw left to return to England. He left Paris, where he had been staying, and came back in 1650; or earlier, before the king's execution in January 1649. == Under the Commonwealth == On his return to England Henshaw kept a low profile into the 1650s, living a studious life in Kensington, then outside London. A "chemical club" in which he was involved was set up in 1650 by Robert Child: other members were Thomas Vaughan and William Webbe. In alchemy he collaborated with Vaughan, who resided with him in Kensington, and Samuel Hartlib reported Henshaw's claims to have found the alkahest, with a formula of provenance from Jan Baptist van Helmont, via Hugh Plat. Henshaw is referred to in the preface to Elias Ashmole's Way to Bliss (1658) as an expert in the occult science of the time; Ashmole's Theatrum Chemicum Britannicum (1652) had made good use of Henshaw's library.Hartlib noted Henshaw's plans for a college, one of a number of proposals of the time entertained also by Evelyn and his friend Abraham Cowley. Henshaw was occupying the Pondhouse or Moathouse, in the manor of West Town, Kensington, a property that had been leased by his father. There for a period in the early 1650s a utopian "Christian Learned Society" existed; there was a group of eight, with Henshaw, Vaughan and six others. Across the political divide of the time, Henshaw kept in touch with Hartlib, and the title of the Society chimed exactly with the ideas of the Hartlib Circle, and in particular John Hall. The house itself was mostly demolished around 1800.Henshaw was called to the bar, in 1654, but dropped the practice of the common law. He sold his accommodation in the Middle Temple to Ashmole, in 1658. At about this time, according to one account, he attended meetings at Gresham College of the "Oxonian Society" for virtuosi and natural philosophers. == Later life == Henshaw was one of the council that succeeded the 1660 committee of 12, and that actually set up the Royal Society. He was chosen a Fellow of the Royal Society at its first constitution in 1663, and was an officer of the Society over many years. He continued alchemical researches, with Sir Robert Paston. When the Society was in the doldrums in the 1670s, he was one of the group meeting with Robert Hooke to promote its activity. In 1688 he borrowed a work by Franciscus Mercurius van Helmont from Francis Lodwick, another of the "Hooke circle" that functioned also as a book club.In 1672 Henshaw attended Charles Stewart, 3rd Duke of Richmond, ambassador extraordinary to the court of Denmark, as secretary of the embassy and assistant to the duke. The latter died on 12 December of the same year, and Henshaw was commanded to remain in Denmark as envoy extraordinary, and held the office for two years and a half. He was appointed Charles II's under-secretary of the French tongue and gentleman of the privy council in ordinary; the appointment, gained with Evelyn's help, was during the 1670s. He continued as French secretary under James II and William III (inscription on his tombstone).Henshaw spent the last years of his life at his house in Kensington, where he died on 2 January 1700. == Works == Henshaw published, from the Italian of Álvaro Semedo, History of the Great and Renowned Monarchy of China, to which is added a History of the late Invasion and Conquest of the flourishing Kingdom of the Tartars, with an exact account of the other Affairs of China, London, 1655. After the Restoration minor papers appeared by him in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, and two short treatises on making Salt Peter and Gunpowder. He edited with an epistle to the reader Stephen Skinner's Etymologicon Linguæ Anglicanæ, 1671.In 1654 there was printed at Spa a Vindication of Thomas Henshaw, sometime Major in the French King's service, in justification of himself against the Aspersions throwne upon him. In this he repudiates any share in plots on behalf of Charles II, but calls Oliver Cromwell "the greatest murtherer". This, however, was by a cousin of the same name. == Family == According to his tombstone in the chancel of the parish church of Kensington, Henshaw married Anne Kipping, daughter of Robert Kipping of Tewdley, Kent; they had six sons and two daughters. His wife died 4 October 1671. A daughter Anne, his sole survivor, married Thomas Halsey of Gaddesden, Hertfordshire | wikipedia tts | UCMeSYAu27EY1aslaUSaL6VA | 2019-05-03 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | detection | en | 1,083 | 6,418 |
TSyAtM_DkvM | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSyAtM_DkvM | Can regulation save the Internet? A view from London (I) | [Music] the main challenge for internet regulation is is the global nature of the internet and the difficulty of having transnational institutions that can solve the internet regulation problem for us when we look at internet regulation for when I look at internal regulation I think the number one issue is that the Internet is global and that's a great thing about it that's why it's so good that's why it's so important to the world and why we should preserve it for the future but what that means is that regulation needs to adapt it's traditionally been national or regional level regulation now it needs to think about it at a transnational level so the biggest issue and I think is that we haven't yet found a way of engaging with this very substantial power that platforms play in managing access to markets and controlling the flow of information and content from surprised suppliers to users that's not an issue which is specific to a particular domain or a particular policy area it stretches across a huge range of different areas and it's really a technical question about how government regulators and platforms work together to understand evaluate and respond to the problems that are now emerging as platforms become increasingly dominant in society well when we're regulating any industry we need to look back at the fundamentals which is what are we regulating for and in most industry regulation we are regulating too external costs of the business that fall upon society back to the business so that it becomes responsible for reducing those costs and on the internet there's many many reports particularly in the UK about a wide range of harms that have cost to society not to the business and it's those harms that we're seeking to regulate so the key issues of the chronology regulation is obviously that it doesn't stifle innovation it shouldn't to retrench dominance of of existing operators and it shouldn't create an entry barrier but regulation plays an extremely important role for the technology industry because it is one of the greatest trust builders there is and the technology industry suffers from a trust deficit at the moment I think we also need to use regulation to create a vocabulary of how we define and how we regulate things and I think we also have to create the knowledge the literacy around technology issues and analysts a role for regulators that is the role for industry players like like us but it is also a role for the civil society who has to play a very important role in in defining this [Music] | Telefónica Policy Lab | UC5drYjib4CUZyUxNsQ8o8Pw | 2020-02-11 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 443 | 2,552 |
Jh_rEqCq8CE | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jh_rEqCq8CE | Mrs. Potato Restaurant From Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives In Orlando | Disney’s Character Warehouse | hey friends today we are going to be dining at the mrs potato restaurant that was featured on diners drive-ins and dives the tv show with guy ferrari and this is actually located right here in orlando florida close to universal studios in walt disney world and it's all about potatoes so let's go do this it was season 26 episode 12 when guy ferrari and joey fatone from nsync actually came out and ate here and basically it's a brazilian specialty restaurant serving up dishes based all around potatoes and that's why it's mrs potato you can take a look in here it has all of its awards and of course all of the drivers dive-ins and dives like memorabilia including the guy ferretti uh trey right here that's signed by him this is really awesome they were featured on usa today the orlando observer lots of amazing like news articles about this place so i'm excited to try now that i'm actually at my table i can take my mask off and give you guys a little show around and it's really funny because the restaurant is called mrs potato restaurant but it has a heavily like potato head themed and you can see that with all of the amazing mr and mrs potato head figures that they have throughout the whole restaurant as you can see it's themed pretty well and there's a lot of ones that i actually remember even here's mr potato head from toy story and then up here we have some mickey mr potatoes look at pin trading and mickey ears on this one and then a lot more on this side even a lot of potato heads i remember playing with potato head dolls when i was younger and i would always lose the pieces and they used to have a little compartment in the back but it would always lose like the ear and stuff like that and it's nice to see that they still have like a culture like impact and they're still around to this day i mean they're very heavily themed in toy story the movie so it's nice to see that an old you know toys actually still got its thing going of course since this was featured in diners drive-ins and dives i'm gonna order the same thing that he actually got and that was the rusty which is the uh carniel one so the brazilian cured meat with cream cheese i'm excited to try this but they have a whole bunch of different other ones too some of them are just baked potatoes or you can get the rossi version of it and obviously the rusty is a little bit more expensive because it's bigger but you can get a baked potato just topped with bacon broccoli sausage chicken so many different options the list goes on and on i haven't tried many brazilian restaurants before but they do have some brazilian classics here so i'm gonna actually get a couple of those that i know i'll probably enjoy this would be the first time trying a rossi and i'm not sure how i'm gonna like the cream cheese on top but we're gonna give it a go we're gonna give it a test i think i'm definitely gonna be trying the chicken drops which is a brazilian popular appetizer shredded chicken breast seasoned covered in dough and then deep fried but they have a lot of other amazing items some truffle fries some cod fish fritters and even a miss potato brazilian burger and of course it's served on a potato bun here are the chicken drops served with a house-made garlic sauce and a sweet chili sauce this looks really good it kind of just kind of looks like mozzarella like bites kind of but there's chicken inside there i want to see what's on the inside before i take a bite oh look at that that actually looks really good we're gonna just dive in right now here [Music] these are really really good they also have like a homemade hot sauce look how they give you a little spoon so we're gonna try a little bit of the homemade hot sauce as well to just put with the chicken find out if the sauce is really hot it's got kick it's got a little kick to it these are very delicious actually now i'm hooked and he said that they're popular in brazil so i feel like uh if i ever come across them again on a menu i would order them knowing that this is something that i like a lot when i added the hot sauce to it i immediately thought of a spicy meatball but this is a chicken drop so it's like that's a spicy chicken drop and here comes the main course look at this bad boy this is what guy ferry and them tried in the kitchen this looks amazing this is all like hash browns you can see they're perfectly browned wow this is going to be delicious i can't wait to try this and this is the brazilian cream cheese that they actually make in-house here a very good combination i feel like i guess i'm just gonna cut right into it here look at that oh boy this is gonna be much too good for children i am a huge meat and potato guy so this is like the perfect thing it's like basically a meaty potato pancake and i just can't wait to try this this is so amazing i absolutely love it i'm not a big fan of cream cheese but this isn't too bad this is different i like this a lot the hash browns have the perfect little crunch to it and the meat is seasoned perfectly this is a really good this is a sleeper i can't wait to try some more offerings i'm definitely coming back here though this is this is really good and it's a pretty big portion so like the whole entire like dish is probably bigger than my head so you can definitely get full off this and for 16 bucks it's not a bad deal one thing you definitely can do is get a little bit of this hot sauce and pour it right on there and that'll give it a little kick and some extra flavor the hot sauce is definitely enough to get your glasses a little steamy i think with that we are done here i really enjoyed my meal and i also enjoy just looking at all the different potatoes and they actually have an outdoor patio area i didn't see this before but look at how nice this is very fancy and i like those chairs now that i'm all full up on my potatoes which everything was amazing in there actually so much cool stuff i've never tried before and i was thinking because this is in a shopping mall and that's what kind of makes the show cool diners drive-ins and dives is because it's like a unique spot in a little shopping mall right here in orlando there are so many other amazing things that they have right in a row here you can really go on a culinary adventure in this little shopping mall of course we have the brazilian specialty at mrs potato restaurant and then we have antonio's house of pizza we have an indian hut a you and me a mexican restaurant called el patron and then a bubblusious barbecue right across the street this is like an adventure since it wasn't very long that we were actually in there eating even though everything was fantastic i think i'm gonna carry the video on over to the character warehouse since we're on this side of the town i heard they have my hats actually in there for like seven bucks so i'd love to pick up a couple of those and bring you guys along with me it definitely seems like it's been a very long time since i've come here and made a video but we are at the orlando premium outlets to go to the disney character warehouse this is going to be fun if you're not familiar with what the disney character warehouse is it's basically a place where you can buy cheap disney clothing and all disney parks like branded items it's where they actually send it over from the parts at a clearance rate so a lot of good deals right here it is i like the marquee signage that they have disney's character warehouse and they're doing an actual like virtual waitlist so you give them your phone number and they text you and let you know when you can actually go into the store i don't know how long the wait time is but i got a couple minutes i'll just wait around doesn't look like it's too busy it's starting to get a little dark out i've been waiting for just around an hour and i'm starting to actually think maybe i'm not gonna be able to get in here because it closes at eight o'clock and it's seven already so we'll just wait and see but man they don't text me soon i think we're gonna be out of luck the only reason i know that they have my hats in there is because so many people have sent me messages telling me i did come one time recently after someone sent me a message and when i got here they were all sold out so uh i just waited a little bit and i got a couple more messages said hey they restocked so that's why i'm here today and i'm hoping that maybe maybe they're in there somewhere i mean it's kind of like crazy because i'm trying to like peek in here to see i see some hats in that shelf like back there but they're not my exact hats but maybe mine are near it i don't know we'll see one hour later not too shabby i knew there was going to be a little bit of a wait but as long as i get some of my hats i'll be happy well they don't have any of my hats but they do have some assorted hats for 3.99 they even have flower garden festival ones right here look at this these don't even have a date on oh yeah 20 20. so they have the 20 20 hats for 3.99 but none of my hats i guess that's a little sad that i waited an hour to get my hats and they didn't have any but i guess that's the game you play otherwise i think we can look around and maybe find something else that i wanted i mean there's a lot of good deals happening here they have a lady in the pet bowl i would definitely get this for gracie but she already has a 101 dalmatians bowl but this one is very pretty and it's only 8.99 and it was 22.99 and then they've got some spirit jerseys for the doggos she doesn't like wearing the spirit jerseys though i've tried trust me plenty of times she's just not happy so we don't force the situation there they have a lot of cool jackets here i've been wanting this jacket but they don't have it in my size i love this because it's like that retro walt disney logo these are really cool and they're only 19.99 originally 70 and then these ones right here are 24.99 originally 60. [Music] i always feel like every time i come here the thing that i want is never in my size so i always miss out i think it depends on if you get her earlier they have more available sizes but i always strike out these attraction t-shirts are really cool we have fantasyland 1983 the three caballeros 20 000 leagues under the seas oh even the nightmare before christmas one that kind of stands out a little bit they're 12.99 actually originally 34.99 that's not a bad deal either there's a lot of really good deals there's the teacups a lot of character shirts down here these were the hats that i seen looking at the window they're only 3.99 i don't know if these would look good on me but i might get one just for the fact that it's 3.99 i like the little mickey on them actually i think they might be a little bit big like brim wise i know i'm wearing my hat underneath it but i don't want to touch it because i don't know if i'm going to buy it yet oh there we go that's what it looks like i don't think i can walk around the parks with this a couple of really cool coffee mugs though look at this toy story one beware a toy will follow you home and it's like the hitchhiking ghost oh toys tell no tails i think i need to get this yeah how much is this 19.99 oh but all mugs are 5.99 that's a steal i'll take it they got some really cool spirit jerseys and this best friends forever that's the groove troop look at that roxanne maxie oh this is a good shirt right here but i think it's for the ladies and they have tons of the spirit jerseys like i said i think these are for the ladies too but i would wear this one it's not my size they have a lot of iphone cases and magic bands these look like they're from pandora they have like a boys and a girls and then also they have these cookies mini sweets chocolate and vanilla character cookies they're only 99 cents a box that's not too shabby mickey's really swell coffee 4.99 i would totally buy this but i got a curate now but that's a good deal these are pretty expensive in the parks and 4.99 for a pound of coffee is actually pretty cheap even in the grocery store this is a really good deal too disney master only 1.75 in here so if you plan on buying a bunch of disney masks before you actually come to the parks i would stop here first because you'll be saving almost 80 percent i mean they have halloween christmas but they have baby yoda just generic mickey a lot of good ones actually well i think i did good i didn't get my hats but i did get that bigger hat and i got my haunted mansion toy story mug so that's a fair deal i'm happy with that and now i think i'm done for the day what a fun like adventurous day we went to a new restaurant that i haven't eaten at before that was featured on diners drive-ins and dyes had an amazing meat and potato meal and then we hopped on over here to character warehouse in search of my hat and struck out but what are you gonna do and uh overall hope you guys enjoyed the video i enjoyed making it so we'll see you next time [Music] you | Paging Mr. Morrow | UCscn2aSpMrS2U_mf7OF-UwQ | 2021-03-05 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 2,567 | 13,013 |

his life renew then says the king your felons all of you when charles saw that all of them did fail deep down he bowed his head and all his face for the grief he had katie himself proclaimed one of his knights teary before him came jeffrey's brother that duke of anjou famed lean were his limbs and lengthy and delicate black was his hair and somewhat brown his face was not too small and yet was hardly great and courteously to the emperor he spake fair lord and king do not yourself dismay you know that i have served you many ways by my ancestors should i this cause maintain and if roland was forfeited to gawain still your service to him full warrant gave felon is going since the hour that he betrayed and towards you is purged and ashamed wherefore i judge that he be hanged and slain his carcass flung to the dogs beside the way as a felon who felony did make but has he a friend that would dispute my claim with this my sword which i have got in place my judgment will i warrant every way answer the franks now very well you spake before the king is come now pinnable great is he strong vesselless and nimble who bears his blow has no more time to dwell says to him sire on you this cause depends command therefore this noise be made and end see terry here who hath his judgment dealt i cry him false and will the calls contest his dear height glove in the king's hand he's left says the emperor good pledges must i get thirty kinsmen offer their loyal pledge i'll do the same for you the king has said until the right be shown bids guard them well when tyri sees that battle shall come after his right-hand glove he offereth to charles the emperor by way of hostage guards it four benches then upon the place he marshals where sit them down champions of either party their chosen right as the others judgment cast them ogre the dane between them made the pali next they demand their horses and their armor for battle now ready you might seen them they're well confessed absolved from sin set free masses they've heard communion received rich offerings to those minsters they leave before carloon now both the two appear they have their spurs are fastened on their feet and light and strong their hoboks brightly gleam upon their heads they've laced their helmets clear and gert on swords with pure gold hilted each and from their necks hanging down their quartered shields in their right hands they grasp their trenchant spears at last they mount on their swift coursing steeds five square thousand chevaliers therefore weep for roland's sake pity for teary feel god knows full well which way the end shall be down under x there is a pasture large which for the fight of the two barons is marked proof men are these and of great vassalage and their horses unwearied gallop fast they spur them well the reigns aside they cast with virtue great to strike each other dart all of their shields shatter and rend apart their hobok's tear the girths asunder start the saddles slip and fall upon the grass five-score thousand weep who that sight regard upon the ground are fallen both the knights nimbly enough upon their feet they rise nimble and strong is pinnable and light each the other seeks horses are out of mind but with those swords whose hilts with gold are lined upon those helms of steel they beat and strike great are the blows those helmets to divide the chevaliers of france do much repine oh god says charles make plain to us the right says peanubel teary i pray thee yield i'll be thy man in love and fealty for the pleasure my wealth i'll give to thee but make the king with gwenaloon agree answers theory such councils not for me pure felon i if air i that concede god shall this day the right show us between then said terry boldart thou penavel thought great and strong with body finally bread for vasalage thy peers esteem thee well of this battle let us now make an end with charlemagne i soon will have thee friends to gwenelun such justice shall be dealt they shall not dawn but men of it will tell please the lord god not so said penabel i would sustain the cause of my kindred no mortal man is there from whom i fled rather i'd die than her reproaches said then with their swords began to strike again upon those helms that were with gold be gemmed into the sky the bright sparks rained and fell it cannot be that they be sundered nor make an end without one man be dead he's very proof pinabale of sorrence terry he strikes on his helmet of province leaps such a spark the grass's kindled fence of his still brand the point he then presents on thierry's brow the helmet has he wrenched so down his face its broken halves descend and his right cheek in flowing blood is drenched and his hobok over his belly rent god's his warrant who death from him prevents seize theories then that in the face he struck on grassy field runs clear his flowing blood strikes pin a bell on his helmet brown and rough to the nose piece he's broken it and cut and from his head scatters his brains in the dust brandishes him on the sword till dead he's flung upon that blow is all the battle won frank's cry aloud god hath great virtue done it is proved right that grenade be hung and those his kin that in his cause are come now that tiri the battle fairly wins that emperor charles is come to him forty barons are in his following names the duke ogre that danish prince jefrey danjou will arm of blave there with thierry the king takes in his arms to kiss and wipes his face with his great martin skins he lays them down and others then they bring the chevaliers most sweetly disarm him an arab mule they've brought where on he sits with baronas and joy they bring him in they come to ex halt and dismount therein the punishment of the others then begins his counts and dukes then calls to him carloon with these i guard advise what shall be done hither they came because of granolun for penabel as pledges gave them up answer the franks shall not of them live one the king commands his provost then bas brun go hang them all on the tree of cursed wood nay by this beard whose hairs are white enough if one escape to death and shame thou struck he answered him how could i act save thus within hundred sergeants by force they come thirty of them there are that straight are hung who betrays man himself and his friends undoes then turned away the beavers and germans and pratavan and britains and normans for all the rest it was voted by the franks that gawain's die with marvellous great pangs so to lead forth four stallions they bade after they bound his feet and both his hands those deeds were swift and of a temporary mad which by their heads led forward for sergeants towards a stream that flowed amid that land zones fell gray into perdition black all his sinews were strained until they snapped and all the limbs were from his body dragged on the green grass his clear blood gushed and ran gawain's is dead a felon requient who betrays man need make no boast of that when the emperor had made his whole vengeance he called to him the bishops out of france those of bavier and also the germans a dame freeborn lies captive in my hands so off she's heard sermons and reprimands she would fear god and christening demands baptize her then so god her soul may have they answer him sponsors the right demands dames of estate and long inheritance the baths at x great companies attract there they baptized the queen of sarazans and found for her the name of julianne christian is she by very cognizance when the emperor his justice hath achieved his mighty roths abated from its heat and brahmaymund has christening received passes the day the darkness is growing deep and now that king in his vaulted chamber sleeps saint gabriel is come from

1kuG7ZruG0Q | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kuG7ZruG0Q | :CLARITY/CLOSURE: VIEWERS'-COMMENTS, ~20. | [Music] thank you [Music] in these videos I will take a look at some of the comments that you the viewer have shared with me some of these comments may be posted on my YouTube channel some of them may not be depending upon their content I use this as an opportunity to answer questions address criticisms and acknowledge criticisms of course and direct the conversation keep it going in the manner of which this YouTube channel is intended meaning it is a grammar Channel this is a channel to talk about correct sentence structure communication policies and text grammar the wonderful technology brought to the public by Cohen David when Kohler Miller and so that's the main purpose of this channel so if you see a comment in this comments video that has not been posted on my channel I'm probably using it as an example as to what not to post in the comments field this is definitely a learning place a place for learning where I teach not only the grammar but also the psychology of the grammar one other thing I don't ever take anything personal it's never personal although it may seem like it is at times it's not it's not at all and I highly recommend everyone out there commenting follow the same protocol don't take anything personal that I say what you put in is what you get out the energy that you bring here I will most likely either give back to you maybe a little bit or maybe a thousand fold it just depends upon how you approach me this is my vessel there are terms and conditions if you comply with them everything's peachy if you don't when you get what you get you don't throw a fit without further Ado let's get to the comments welcome to this edition of for the clarity enclosure of the viewers comments I'm your host called Jason F and Matthew Cole glass you may call me Jason this is going to be an interesting one uh because you see the comment in front of you from someone named colon Sean hyphen Daniel colon space Taylor this could be an example of what I would call a very subtle and clever type of trolling now the reason I'm prefacing this video by saying that is because in my five or so years of YouTube experience of putting out almost 500 videos vetting literally hundreds if not thousands of comments because all of my comments here are vetted the comment does not get published unless I authorize it is my vessel of the master of the vessel there are terms and conditions to the kobits field and I'll say right off the bat I don't think Sean has read the terms and conditions going by the comments that he leaves in sort of the Demeter that he exhibits now in five years or so of doing this I've only run into this type of Personality maybe once maybe twice out of the hundreds people that have that have commented on the channel in maybe three or four years ago uh this may have sort of knocked me off my Square so to speak but now I kind of see it for what it is even though I'm not 100 sure that is what it is I will show you what I'm talking about when I say that this could perhaps be a subtle form of trolling sort of the the now space vampire type of trolling where someone leaves kermits not really having anything to do with grammar per se having to do with greater mechanics asking questions actually genuinely wanting to learn the grammar but asking other things small things and then disagreeing and then sort of using a low-key down low uh how could you say it like last night or sarcastic type of comment but then at the end of the comment like putting a peace sign or or a heart or something like that to try and like negate what was said before again like I said I've only run into this like maybe two times in five years but without further Ado let's get into it so in this particular comment uh Sean says why do you say concern with DMW and I can logically guess he means David with Miller says it consequence I think he means it's or it is for the Sean Daniel of the Taylor thanks uh well I could see by the Covenant itself that Sean either doesn't do anything about correct sentence structure or there are very basic beginner and so what I will do foreshan in this instance is instead of maybe suggested did he go and study the videos where I do give closure to this very issue I gave closer to it a few years ago and by the way this individual says he has studied all of my videos so that he had to have come across it but I digress so instead of saying that I'll just show it once again why I use the word concern rather than consequence so here you see the word consequence just if you type in the word consequence etymologyonline.com you will see that it just says logical inference conclusion result to follow after so you have the element con which means with together combined with sequi from proto-indo-european sekw which means to follow so it simply means to follow together so when you're using correct sentence structure you start with the cause and then if you say consequence that that doesn't really give closure to what comes after that cause it just means that whatever comes after it comes after it it follows it doesn't really give any closures to what the function is of that fact positioned by Alpha so I along with doing work with my tutor colon ravenheit from Farhan I've Been Told we decided to use this word concern which comes from again con which means with together and then from proto-indo-european krei which means to sieve thus discriminate distinguish later on as you can see here it was modified but what we're talking about is this belong to touch mix so with together with the mixture we're together to discrimage sorry to discriminate to distinguish so you have your cause which could be for the cleavage Village did you say of the facts the concern the cause is the facts the facts are distinguished instead of just saying the facts follow that now you're given closer to what it's concerned with I find that it's a much better fit than consequence consequence is more like a general thing now another comment from Sean says I sense that I've been totally raped by my government for the past 31 years of my life without my consent now I do totally comprehend individuals who have this type of mindset uh I at one time possess the same mindset I've been on this Earth for almost 51 years and uh I have experience in studying things like common law and UCC codes and the legal system and you know when I was in high school one of my favorite classes was a lot of Education uh at one time I actually considered studying to be an attorney so I do cognize this type of attitude so to speak but what I learned correct sentence structure and you know via my tutor colon Raven I also learned the balance of the order of the grace the position of Peace of neutrality in the maintenance of rule one row equal which are judge mechanics and then realize that it wasn't the system per se that needed to change or be adjusted or fixed it was me okay uh if you go through your life thinking that you're a victim that the system is has got you down and is holding you down and there's nothing you can do about it and so on and so forth then you're always going to have that mentality you're always going to have that mentality when you're ready to fight the system you know and things like that and it's like when you look at the history of mankind whatever you think of History whether it's a story or whether you think it's true or whatever it's been a cycle of fighting and War throughout the whole the whole history so my attitude and the conclusions I came to were well what if you extricate yourself from that type of thinking and start thinking something different start thinking in terms of peace and neutrality start thinking in terms of well contract is by consent so if anyone's going to take accountability for anything that happened in the last 51 years well at least the 51 years of that that where I was an adult and able to think for myself and it is me I'm not going to blame his system uh I had choices in this manner to educate myself to do whatever you know I was going to do I agree to it or not degree to it there's always a choice so once I did that the other avenues started opening up to me oh but this type of mentality and there are other comments that I haven't published where he literally talks about fighting the system which I mean if if that's what you want to do I mean if that's float your boat then uh you're gonna get more than you can handle like I'm pretty sure you know and good luck with that because I don't really know anyone who uh is successful with things like that it's like I've said in the past dealing with the fiction is is like if you take a fiction as a Peg and a pig's eye it doesn't matter how much correct sentence structure you know are common law or whatever you're going to use once you step into that Pig's diet it's up to you how long you want to wrestle with that pig pig doesn't care doesn't care at all the pig enjoys it it rest assured when you step in there by the time you step out if you are able to step out you're going to be covered in mud and poop that's all there is to it how many do you want to get how poopy do you want to get I mean in fact do you enjoy that if you enjoy fighting and having that type of mindset there's room for you too but what I teach is autonomy based upon a piece of neutrality and I do not contract with warlike parties or parties that whose volition it is to fight things I'm done with that it's not necessary it's completely not necessary and I found that through my five years of navigation using correct sentence structure and again you know some obviously doesn't know correct sentence structures so how would he be able to cognize that unless he would actually learn the grammar which as of yet he has not decided to do I do apologize ladies and gentlemen I do have a bit of a head cold here so apologize for my voice so I did uh type up some responses some kuleana to show it and then his cooling on it to that was show me the contract then or did you not need one for that and he's talking about where I said that I consented to pay at tax to a state entity to help out my fellow mankind for things like roads schools maintaining you know equipment to service those things and so on and so forth and pay the employees really Jason that he does this so this is what I mean by low-key like sarcasm or co-decision you didn't choose to contribute to anything I really really wish that was the case so now he's actually telling me would I get or didn't choose to contribute to which again if you would study the grammar he would realize most likely very quickly that that's a dodo never assumed for what someone else does or doesn't do or the volition of what they're doing what may only make claims for itself if one wants to make a claim for someone else as in they should or shouldn't do this or no that's not what really happened this is what happened when they don't even know you and have no personal contract with you that is assumption perception that is opinion and that is definitely condescension in a way it's sort of like a Christian that uh where they want to try and convert you to their religion and you say thanks but no thanks and then they'll say I'll pray for you I really wish that was the case for us humans the world would be awesome it was taken from you by force that is not true that is 100 not true it is the same practically wherever you live uh how would he know about where it is that I live or you know what happens where other people live unless he himself has been there because I personally know people who navigate through this Earth who don't participate with the fiction system in that way and I'd like to also add that and I've shared this in I think maybe one or two other videos that I have um stop the bureaucratic trespass of attacks entity a state tax entity um using correct certain structure so you know I do with the other pellets of the owner of the grace would it contribute to the state entities that do maintain the roads that I drive on and that I use and the employees that work 8 to 12 hours a day to maintain those roles I certainly wouldn't give to those things so that he can drive on roads that are decent you know so on and so forth but what I will not participate with are interest in penalties and I'll leave it at that and I worked it out so that uh that's exactly what I did I it was stored in my contracts now everything is by consent so and again Sean um this is is uh by my knowledge on this YouTube channel which is a grammar Channel what you're talking about has nothing to do with Kramer and if you would read the terms and conditions of the comments fields then you would know that this is a violation of those terms and conditions but you know I I wasn't sure about what you were doing at first so that's why I sort of was trying to in a very gentle way direct you towards the psychology of the piece of neutrality and last but not least he comes with this asking about nothing about grammar just about who is the artist on that track playing and then I say you may find the artist credited in the video description which I leave a link in the video description as to where to find the music of the artist playing in the video I always give credit to the to the artists of the music and then I think I actually put in Brackets the name of the artist in the description and then they ask where's the video description now I find it very difficult to believe that someone who claims to have been living and breathing for what 30 31 years I think he said doesn't know where to find a video description for a video on YouTube something that I'm sure they've been using for a while So I responded my cooliona was I recommend using Google and typing where our YouTube video descriptions located Google is a wonderful tool happy researching and so therefore until further notice I will not be publishing anything from this individual in the comments field unless it has to do with grammar because I definitely gave the gift of my downspace probably more so than necessary to accommodate this individual but they continue to persist in these very subtle trolling ways now again I'm not convinced that they are troll they just might be this type of personality I don't know as I said I've only encountered this type of Personality once or twice and the hundreds of hundreds of people that I've communicated with over the last five years but in any case it's a good learning experience for me and hopefully for the viewer in how to navigate these types of things in your own life when you encounter these types of personalities next comment comes from ergo desk they said has anyone seen or heard people speaking exclusively in syntax grammar and of course I'm sure they mean correct sentence structured communication process and text parameter and I would probably I mean I can't speak for anyone else but I can tell you Ergo desk whoever you may be that I have never ever seen it and I've had plenty of opportunities to see it as far as I know I am the only individual in my life or biosphere that is capable of doing that and of course I don't really do it because what's the point when I was first learning this I would go out into supermarkets and I would speak correct sentence structure you know to the cashier you know for the claim of the quest is with the price of the goods with this query by this cleavage period you know this goofy things like that and uh they just look at me like so I soon very quickly realized that that is actually a form of troll to get it of itself even if you don't know you're doing it why would you for example walk into an English-speaking store where everyone speaks English and then speak Japanese to the cashier they're not going to know what the hell you're talking about so are you there to be understood are you there to be misunderstood are you there to communicate clearly or are you there to communicate you know in a very cloudy muddy way it's all easy communication and contract if you're there to make clear correct efficient concise contract that's one thing but if you're there to confuse people or some other religion then that is malicious Contracting that's trickery so I really try to be cognizant of the way that I speak and the way I convey myself to People based upon their knowledge level or my perception of what their knowledge level is as far as this technology goes next comment comes from die Cameron who is uh at this point in time one of my best students and I do have quite a few of them at this point and they say thanks Jason at first I didn't see the value in the viewers comments playlist now I find these videos very valuable you clarify many of the repeated mistakes subtleties in the ways we students can best interact with you and the technology I appreciate that I appreciate your appreciation of the value that I try to put into these videos um and this is a great example of someone who conducts themselves with water Grace peace neutrality rule would rule equal they don't come out at all assumptive and presumptive as some people do now I realized that the beginners I want to die is definitely not a beginner they're going to come on like that because that's just how they're used to interacting with other people on the internet they're not used to having to adhere to an etiquette a style of etiquette or actually respecting someone else's vessel uh but here you're going to have to learn it very quickly or you're out next comment comes from long time viewer Sovereign entity and they say thank you Jason well done I comment you I'm curious as to why they put the cop in Brackets because com is positive performance and they're writing an adverb or a match to pronoun anyways I mean they're writing in a fictitious conveyance of grammar so why they're using brackets I don't understand uh actually I do understand probably because they have little to no closure on correct science structure communication policy syntax grammar which is interesting to me because they've been here for a very long time so that's something for me to keep in mind a note to put in my notebook about Sovereign entity so they say in this little space I and a cohort space command that there be no more battery so this individual Sovereign entity seems to think that they have some sort of Authority uh with this thing called the quota community well here's the thing if you don't have any knowledge how can you have any Authority and if you're commanding yourself Sovereign entity that you're not going to bicker anymore well then it sounds as though you're being unsuccessful with that command by virtue of this Covenant in and of itself being being offered to me that mankind Unite and cleanse the Earth of all that do not serve the light ah so it is Namaste so this individual basically was to force everyone to do what they want them to do and that ladies and gentlemen is definitely a fiction tactic in fiction mindset psychology and the fiction likes to force you to do things you don't want to do in order for there to be light there must be Darkness I mean there must be a balance good old things so that's a pretty big psychological hurdle especially with regards to this grammar and if Sovereign entity you know with all the time they've already put already put into you know watching this Channel and doing whatever else if they ever actually decide to sit down and learn this stuff pretty sure they will eventually come to the conclusion that I just offered next comment comes from AR and they say just a note I'm seeing Channel after Channel posting about YouTube cracking down on things left and right just throwing a blanket over everyone not sure what the ultimate prerogative is besides or how it all works not sure what the ultimate prerogative is besides or how it all works but just sharing what I've noticed in the last two weeks it seems to be an issue with almost everyone that I have watched and it's been mentioned of battling YouTube yeah that's interesting AR I'd like to make it clear to you to the public and to YouTube that I'm not battling anybody there's no fighting going on here there's no battling uh they just on a regular basis flag my videos for some reason and then it's just up to me just simply challenge that and then they take the flag out they rescinded it and say yeah your video is fine and they removed the flag 100 successful every single time it's just become a daily thing you know with the videos that I post I know that they're gonna flag it and then I'm going to challenge it and then they're going to acquiesce to my wishes and it's just how it goes I guess it's just a part part parcel of using the YouTube platform it's not my platform it's their platform I'm a steward of it they allow me to be here to do this so until such time as they don't next comment comes from rosvan and rosvan says for this cleavage sensation of the serenity mind state is with the claim of the pleasure with this truthful Equity Psychology by this tutor's performance now keep in mind he did put it in parentheses so it's not even here it's not even on the page having said that it's quite obviously rosewood's uh attempt at using correct sentence structure so let's look at it in such a light so he has for this cleavage sensation there's no hyphen in between claimants and sensation that's supposed to be a compound fact but because there is no hyphen everything has put put into adverb match to Proto by leaving out that one hyphen so then we move on we have the verb followed by the possessive followed by the concern of the pleasure which I think he means p-l-e-a-s-u-r-e with this truthful Equity Psychology by this tutor's performance no when you're looking at this it says buy this tutor's performance if you're just reading this this correct sentence structure you know keeping in mind that the The Hyphen is perhaps a typo the missing hyphen is a typo Tudor's performance who is the tutor we don't know who the tutor is so because rosvan is the one the claim at making the claim he would be the tutor unless he clarifies otherwise otherwise it's not clarified who the tutor is we have no idea who this individual is talking about because when you read it backwards it says for this tutor's performance of this truthful Equity psychology is with the pleasure of the claim with the serenity mind state by this claimant sensation no one else has mentioned in here only one individual one entity is mentioned and that's the claimant and the tutor in the sensation and things like that in the claim so rosman's basically saying that he's a tutor so it's always good to keep those things in mind and clarify exactly who it is you're talking about and who is possessing the sensations uh or the psychology or so or the performance even make sure if there are two entities being differentiated that you separate the two within your own sentence thanks for the comment Rosman next comment comes from David Miller and he says poisonous fruit for the poisonous tree defiantly hear the under pinning to the sentiments of the phrase one opinion two certification defiantly I wonder if David Miller knows what defiant means a defection because that really unless it's a typo and he means definitely then it would make sense to me but he put defiantly for the cognition tells me where there is modification there I think they mean t-h-e-r-e is change it changes just a thought while navigating could care hmm yeah I guess I don't know what this individual is attempting to convey here the thing that I will comment on is the poisonous fruit from the poisonous tree that's definitely an opinion because if you have in the forest if you have or the jungle you have a tree that has poisonous fruit it's not poisonous to everyone it might be nutritious to someone it just depends who you are bottom blood you have to have knowledge of what it is you're doing and that whole thing you know that the quote you will know them by their fruits is hilarious I have to share this with you uh it's hilarious because it is a basically like a visited a Biblical thing a religious say you shall know them by their fruits well guess what if you look at parrots and then you look at children would be considered the fruits of the parents right or if you have a teacher if you have students the students would be considered the fruit of the teacher right well if you have an old powerful father and then he creates angels that the Angels would be the fruit it wasn't Lucifer an angel so you will though them by their fruits or you have the father Creator it did you have the human race which you know the people who believe in this stuff call God the Father well then the children the people are the fruit of the god so you will know the God by the fruit do you see what I'm saying here catching my drift next comment comes from Josh Galloway and they say I like this video I have watched all your videos that I still have done emailed I have listened with wonderment at your knowledge with the subject I fast it is gunshine thanks for this formative video cleanly thank you for your coverage Josh uh feel free to email me anytime you feel squirrely don't be shy the next comment comes from strawberry milk and they say kind of got me wondering if a fellow would teach classes eight hours a day five days a week how long you suppose wood could get all this down on average of course well I don't know of any fellow that teaches classes eight hours a day five days a week and I definitely don't know of any entity or institution that would be able to pay that teacher the value that those classes would be worth what I do know is I've been doing workshops it teaching a curriculum teaching classes for about five years now and I have had people learn it in one one hour Workshop I've also had people do you know like 20 workshops and they still haven't learned it but on average strawberry milk in the last 365 day cycle I've had people learn this in about four to five maybe six workshops on average and that's one hour Workshop so that's five to six hours four to five hours it just depends upon you and your motivation to learn it and how much you're willing to put into it because what you put in is what you get out rule one rule equal final comment comes from Fast Eddie pool and they say within brackets in quotations for the question I even claim of the number 33 choice so we have the cause which is the for the question claim and what's it concerned with the number 33 choice what is possessing the number 33 choice the possible milk performance commencement temperature level of the frozen water or with the random quantity choice of the spontaneous streams could to creators challenge concept with this query by a curious competent viewers contract closure Quest well I would have to say that competency is not quite established yet fast Eddie pool because you've put this in Brackets and quotations you have not authorized it meaning you haven't not put a correct name to it so the competency is a little bit in question in my mind and I published this because if you take away the the brackets and the quotations look at the correct sentence structure the sequencing your positionals is 100 correct well done fast Eddie pool well done I know the surface it looks like a very educated intelligent correct sentence structure but when I look at it I see huge compound facts that make it very very confusing and what I've done with correct sentence structure in the last five years of doing this is to take this distill it down to its simplest form so that because corrects that instruction right off the bat is already difficult for most people to read that don't know correct sentence structure like if you don't know correct sentence structure you read one of my sentences most people can kind of get an idea of what I'm saying because I've simplified it so much I've distilled it down all right but when you write things like this it's just not efficient communication so I'm going to go into what I mean here when you take a compound fact like number hyphen 33 hyphen choice or actually more specifically possible hyphen belt hyphen performance hyphen commencement hyphen temperature hyphen level I mean in a correct sentence structure contract dictionary you would have to have one two three four five six finite beads each for possible belt performance commencement temperature and level and then not only that you would have to have a finite beat for the whole compound fact possible male performance commitments commencement temperature level that's why when I gave cooliana and his commitment I asked for closure for those compound fact finite Meats I want to know what does he mean by that is he competent to stand on the geometric Level Playing Field of contract and of course he's more than welcome to email me in a request 10 to 15 minute consultation and we can discuss this very thing if it would help if it is learning knowledge cultivation Journey uh again you know random quantity Choice what is the finite meme for that he would need a finite meme for random finite mean for quantity and finite mean for choice and a finite meme for random quantity choice or spontaneous streams content creators challenge concept that's another six words in a compound fact or curious competent viewers could track closure quests that's seven words so for a seven word compound fact you would need eight finite means in your dictionary you see where I'm going with this from the very beginning I've taught students use as little compound facts as as necessary uh keep it low keep it like two maybe three facts in your compound facts if possible but if not keep it down to one uh fact because the more facts you put on your Compound Effect the more work you're making for yourself now there are some unavoidable ones like correct sentence structured communication participation syntax grammar right but I did create that one all right that was already there when it came here that had already been established so what I'm doing is I'm talking about the the facts that I create for my own construct are very simple I don't use huge compound facts because it's my volition that everyone whether they have a good knowledge of this grammar or not could cognize what I'm trying to convey I'm here to be understood not misunderstood so fast that you pull I commend you on your efforts here I'm not trying to discourage you in any way I'm trying to give you a little gentle uh counsel because you did comment on my channel and this is a grammar Channel another grammar tutor flat out telling you it is better for my experience to not use huge compound facts because to me that's indicative of someone who probably doesn't have a dictionary it probably has not given closure correct sentence structure closure to those elements of their compound facts I could be wrong you might have a huge dictionary with five thousand words in it with all these compound facts I don't know but it's definitely indicative also of someone else that I'm aware of who uses huge compound facts and also particles of negation in their facts which by the way fast Eddie did not do which is again commendable I I really admire the the effort it must have taken to write this maybe it was no effort sorry maybe it was no effort at all for him but it's a very very cool thing for me to read as a tutor even though I did teach this guy really you know I don't think we've ever done a workshop or anything but wherever he did learn it to me it looks like I know where he learned most of his structure from but I could be wrong again anyways thanks fast Eddie maybe someday will get that consult and we'll get some of these questions answered thanks for watching once again I apologize for the the head cold that my voice uh hopefully I'll be over this in a couple more days if you'd like to learn this go ahead and hit me up at the email address at the bottom of your screen uh you can join the membership and get some exclusive content in the members section live streams and things like that and I'll see you next time [Music] thank you [Music] |

LnuMntGqoks | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnuMntGqoks | BITE-SIZED sailboat TESTS puerto yucalpeten | the two of us built this little platform out of scrap wood and epoxy to place the forward navigation light on we would just have to screw it into place as careful as I wanted to be here the entire stainless steel Pulpit is kind of wonky and crooked so I would just be adding a little more expressive style to the area I just had to find out the right size screw that was long enough but would not come out through the top side I drilled the preliminary holes and then screwed it on [Music] it's just a cap you screw one two three from the top and you put this one and there should be one more screw here were the tools that I would be using to screw the light down onto the platform this was just like measuring out proportions for a portrait masterpiece thank you [Music] now that the light was in place I wanted to remove it and drill the hole for the wires to come down through the platform the cables coming out of this light are pretty small maybe about 14 gauge beautiful and now I left the next part up to Robbie he of course wanted to zip tie everything into place and leave a little extra cable looped just in case the connection would need to be remade in the future you would just need to open up the cable and expose some of that sweet sweet copper he also put into place some heat shrink tubing all of the items involved in this project were sent to us by our wonderful patrons and supporters by the way thank you again he braided the wires a bit and slid down over the assembly some heat shrink soldering connector once I'm going to talk to at once you know exactly um yeah it's on strong yeah and then finally some more heat shrink over the top of everything here at the bow of the boat it's easy to have salt water intrusion of course into these especially delicate little cables they have to screw down that screw on the top and the platform could also use another layer of Epoxy paint a project that has also been pretty slow going is the tiller post or the upper portion of the rudder post and tiller attachment at the metal Workshop there are some wonderful machines for cutting Drilling and grinding stainless steel into the shape that we need is [Music] the used one and it doesn't mind that it's worn and when it's cut the swear it's kind of this this this will be gone but the shop is very busy so it's hard to get a spot in line for the work to get done [Music] thank you we have been particularly lucky to receive a new video making product to test out however foreign lavalier type microphones this is our first time using these kind of microphones which allow us to record our voices closer to the source so they're better for windy or otherwise boisterous conditions the Lark M1 package from Holy Land comes with two transmitters or mics and one receiver Holy Land claims that this can provide high quality audio with a range up to a whopping 200 meters within line of sight and the battery is supposed to last up to eight hours so after reading over the manual quickly we brought the kit out to the windy Beach sugar this is something I wouldn't usually bother trying to do because the audio would just be total garbage they forming from them out are you worried now yeah no I got hit yeah he's kind of limping here okay I got it it's those spiky things I like to test how far away you can go from the camera okay so what do you want to do the beach and moon the whole way I keep asking going yeah I wonder I wonder and doggy PP on that [Music] um the Big Bird so you can hear the wireless connection start to break up here about 50 meters away however I realized that it wasn't a direct line of sight between the transmitter and the receiver if I pointed the camera and the receiver away from Robbie's mic you could hear where the connection was dropping in and out but when the mic and the receiver are in clear view of each other everything is Crystal Clear even with all the wind and waves and barking so this is not sargasso weed it's it's a different kind but it's similarly very stinky you can pick it up from the top 's not poisonous the bottom is out of here yeah I know Jesus so missing all the some tentacles are still there and whenever jellyfish is basically a gas full bladder and then a neat colony of microorganisms there's a pasta big the bladder and there is the gas and underneath is all the springy blue tentacles blue and white tentacles which you have to watch out for and luckily for us not much going on not much going on on this one don't try that out at home please yeah I picked it up by its sack mind you you shouldn't be picking up jellyfish it's bad for you oh that looks like a used condom I think that's abused yeah that's a used Man Award yeah you don't want to be kite stuffing and get and get one of those on your on your leg or your or your face my wife filming a beautiful puppy setting up my camera with this system isn't complicated I just connect the receiver to the camera's microphone Jack well I shouldn't move the microphone while I'm talking there's quite a bit of settings on these microphones for example this setting that I have right now it should be mono meaning I'm using one microphone it's green on the little receiver still blue on the microphone which I have tucked in so you can't see the blue this is testing mono setting okay stereo setting for the microphone the little light is solid blue on the receiver it should be two microphones like two microphones come with the kit one voice over here or one other voice over here stereo two microphones but in this case I've only got one one microphone out and so you'll probably just hear my voice on one side the other side is missing this is the sound just for reference this is the sound that you would usually get with this camera without using the Lark M1 lavalier type microphone now we're going to take another trip out to the beach because our friends from the Boatyard departed Progresso and left us their motorbike to use until we leave so thank you to our friends let's see how much you can hear of me when I get this back for editing wind we've got motorcycle engine dog on the motorcycle we got everything against this microphone right now so I have to say so far I'm I'm pretty impressed with it the microphone works pretty well considering and I would recommend to others who want to improve their their video quality by improving the sound quality and a shout out to Holy Land yay for sending us this free gear to test out Beach and wind test number two we have it on mono so just me talking today one microphone if you're interested in purchasing the link is located below the video the hunting this fish we're going after Mallet or something they're hunting there must be fish and then we've got apples on jet skis to try and run over the dollhouse [Music] um [Music] you've got one dolphin jumping to scare the fish towards the other friend dolphin in front Robbie made some of these dried fish strips while he was last in Baja on the disastrous trip he did manage to make some of these fish strips and he's just gone to get some olive oil these have been in his mum's freezer for the last two months to three months they're definitely ready after being in the sun now a couple days just like new just like just like fresh yes I think it comes nice and thin it just melts in your mouth um we're moving the skin in this less to put in the jar anything lasts better if you skin it I'm just putting a little olive oil slowly filling them this is where you'd like to have a nice working olive oil container a spilling oil oil everywhere no this jars are not meant to close well [Music] because they don't want them you to reuse them so let's be careful come in for storing sideways that's for sure yes these four jars of olive oil dried Bonito are probably not even going to last a week around here without being eaten these are not airtights tool which is | sailorama | UCirYAT7CafNatSyJH3-O4pQ | 2023-02-27 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en |

was fought by means other than combat politics and espionage played their roles for American operations see intelligence in the American Revolutionary War topic political action you topic France while intelligence committees of the Continental Congress were meeting in Philadelphia Arthur Lee was meeting in London with Pierre Agustin Caron de beaumarchais the successful author of lebar beer de Seville who was a French agent Lee's inflated reports of Patriot strength which either he fabricated for beaumarchais benefit or were provided by Lee's regular correspondent Samuel Adams one the Frenchman to the American cause beaumarchais repeatedly urged the French court to give immediate assistance to the Americans and On February 29 1776 addressed a memorial to louis xvi quoting lee's offer of a secret long-term Treaty of Commerce in exchange for secret aid to the War of Independence beaumarchais explained that France could grant such aid without compromising itself but urged that success of the plan depends wholly upon rapidity as well as secrecy Your Majesty knows better than anyone that secrecy is the soul of business and that in politics a project once disclosed as a project doomed to failure with the memorial beaumarchais submitted a plan proposing that he set up a commercial trading firm as a cover for the secret aid he requested and was granted 1 million livres to establish a firm called Rodrigue a Horta Lisette C for that purpose Beaumarchais memorial was followed by one of March 12 1776 by the French Minister of Foreign Affairs the compte de vergennes Royal Assent was granted and by the time Silas Dean arrived in Paris French arms and other aid was on its way to the revolutionaries Dean expanded the relationship working with Beaumarchais and other French merchants to procure ships commissioned privateers recruit French officers and purchase French military supplies declared surplus for that purpose on September 26 1776 the Congress elected three commissioners to the court of France Benjamin Franklin Thomas Jefferson and Silas Dean resolving that secrecy shall be observed until further order of Congress and that until permission be obtained from Congress to disclose the particulars of this business no member be permitted to say anything more upon this subject than that Congress have taken such steps as they judged necessary for the purpose of obtaining foreign alliance because of his wife's illness Jefferson could not serve and Arthur Lee was appointed in his stead with Franklin's arrival in France on November 29 1776 the first anniversary of the founding of the committee of secret correspondence the French mission became an intelligence and propaganda Center for Europe an unofficial diplomatic representation a coordinating facility for aid from America's secret allies and a recruiting station for such French officers as Lafayette and Johan DeKalb in October 1777 the Continental Army won a crucial victory over the British at Saratoga and on February 6 1778 the French American Treaty of Alliance was signed on March 30th 1778 Franklin Lee and Dean were received at the French Court as representatives of the United States of America and on July 7th Comte d'Estaing fleet cast anchor in the Delaware River France was now in the war the mission to Paris had succeeded topic Spain and its colonies Spain at the urging of Vergennes matched france's 1 million livres for the operation of Horta Lisette C but that was not the beginning of secret Spanish aid during the summer of 1776 luis de anza hawai amaz Agha the Governor of New Spain at New Orleans had privately delivered five tons of gunpowder out of the king's stores to Captain George Gibson and lieutenant Lynn of the Virginia Council of defense the gunpowder moved up the Mississippi River under the protection of the flag of Spain and was used to thwart British plans to capture Fort Pitt Oliver Pollock a New Orleans businessman had interceded on behalf of the Virginians when Bernardo de gálvez became governor of New Orleans Pollock who was soon appointed an agent of the secret committee there worked closely with the young officer to provide additional supplies to the Americans Galvez also agreed to grant protection to American ships while seizing British ships as smugglers and to allow American privateers to sell their seized wares at New Orleans Havana to became a focal point for dispensing secret Spanish aid to the Americans from Galvez the revolutionaries received gunpowder and supplies for the George Rogers Clark expedition and from Galvez Secret Service Fund came the funds used by Colonel Clark for the capture of Kaskaskia and Vincennes when Spain formally entered the war on the American side On June 21st 1779 Oliver Pollock who suffered bankruptcy in funding the purchase of supplies for the cause of Independence Rhoda's aide-de-camp to Galvez in the capture of Baton Rouge Natchez Mobile and Pensacola topic the Caribbean another Center of secret aid was Saint eustacia island in the West Indies a Dutch Freeport said in the midst of English French Danish and Spanish colonies Saint eustacia now Sint Eustatius became in the words of a British intelligence document of the period the rendezvous of everything and everybody meant to be clandestinely conveyed to America it was a major source of gunpowder for the American cause and perhaps the safest and quickest means of communications between American representatives and agents abroad and with the Congress and others at home topic covert action you topic Bermuda in July 1775 Benjamin Franklin and Robert Morris worked out a plan in collaboration with Colonel Henry Tucker the head of a distinguished Bermuda family to obtain the store of gunpowder in the Royal Naval Dockyard Bermuda to give Bermuda much-needed food in exchange for the powder Congress resolved on July 15th 1775 to permit the exchange of food for guns and gunpowder brought by any vessel to an American port on the night of August 14 1775 two American ships kept a rendezvous with Colonel Tucker's men off the coast of Bermuda and sent a raiding party ashore an American sailor was lowered into the Arsenal through an opening in the roof and opened the doors the barrels of gunpowder were rolled to waiting Bermudian whaleboats and transported to the American ships twelve days later half of the powder was delivered to Philadelphia and half to American forces at Charleston America's second covert action effort ended in failure General Washington hearing independently of the Bermuda powder dispatched ships to purchase or seize it lacking a centralized intelligence Authority he was unaware of the previous success when Washington's ships arrived in Bermuda in October 1775 the gunpowder had been gone for two months and British ships patrolled Bermuda waters topic Canada on the basis of information received by the secret correspondence committee on February 15 1776 Congress authorized a covert action plan to urge the Canadians to become a sister colony in the struggle against the British a French printer was dispatched to Canada to establish a free press for the frequent publication of such pieces as may be of service to the cause of the United colonies Benjamin Franklin Samuel chase and Charles Carroll were appointed from the Congress to undertake the mission and father John Carroll was invited to join the team to prevail upon the Catholic clergy of Canada the delegation was given a degree of authority over American Expeditionary Forces in Canada it was empowered to raise six companies in Canada and to offer sanctuary in the 13 colonies for all those who have adhered to us excesses against the Canadian populace by the American military forces the hostility of the clergy and the inability of American Commissioners to deliver little more than promises in exchange for Canadian defection doomed the project with the arrival of summer both military and political action in Canada had ended in failure topic foreign intelligence the first intelligence agent enlisted by the secret correspondence committee was Arthur Lee then living in London on November 30th 1775 the day after its founding the committee appointed dr. Lee as its agent in England and told him that it is considered of utmost consequence to the cause of Liberty that the committee be kept informed of developments in Europe following the first congressional appropriation for the work of the committee on December 11th 1775 200 pounds was forwarded to Lee with the urging that he find out the disposition of foreign powers towards us and the admonition that we need not hint that great circumspection and impenetrable security are necessary the next agent recruited abroad by the committee was Charles WF Duma a Swiss journalist at The Hague Duma was briefed personally by Thomas story a courier of the committee and instructed on the use of cover names and letter drops to be used for his reports to the committee and for communication with dr. Li in London he also planted stories in a dutch newspaper gazette des lied intended to give the United States a favorable rating in Dutch credit markets on March 1st 1776 the committee appointed Silas Dean a former delegate to Congress and future ambassador to France as its agent there he was instructed to pose as a Bermudian merchant dealing in Indian goods he was also charged with making secret purchases and with attempting to gain secret assistance from the French crown later both Dean and Lee would be converted from agents to commissioners to the French crown albeit secret ones until the open and formal alliance of France with the Americans other agents of the committee included William Bingham who served first in France and then in Martinique where he had once been British consul major Jonathan Loring Austin William Carmichael and William Hodge topic special-operations you topic kidnapping for a review of many episodes see Christian McBurney abductions in the American Revolution attempts to kidnap George Washington Benedict Arnold and other military and civilian leaders 2016 topic Benedict Arnold after Benedict Arnold defected several special operations none successful were mounted in an effort to capture him in September 1780 enry Light Horse Harry Lee presented to Washington a plan to return the defector to American control and execute him Washington approved the plan but insisted that Arnold not be killed or injured in carrying it out even at the risk of allowing him to escape public punishment said Washington is the sole object in view Lee Sergeant Major John champ of Loudoun County Virginia was assigned to this special mission and on the evening of October 1917 80 - the British under a hail of gunfire the official documents he carried in his cooperative attitude during interrogation convinced the British he was a genuine deserter he was appointed sergeant major of Benedict Arnold's American Legion no relation to the modern American Legion which was composed of rebel deserters and loyalists champ now wearing a British uniform and having obtained freedom of movement in British occupied New York City made contact with American agents there and laid plans for Arnold's capture Arnold's Legion embarked for Virginia on the night the operation was to take place and the plan was aborted champ accomplished his other mission namely finding out if other American officers were collaborating with the enemy he found no evidence that any were in March 1781 an attempt to capture Arnold during his daily ride to the Virginia Shore of the Chesapeake Bay was foiled by the chance anchoring of some British ships in the area yet another plan devised by Thomas Jefferson called for General John Peter Muhlenberg to send hand-picked soldiers to seize and bring off this greatest of traitors at Portsmouth Virginia unusual security precautions at the British outpost ported the attempt topic hostage-taking recognising the value of a royal hostage Washington approved in 1782 a plan to capture the son of King George the third the Prince William the future King William the fourth during the young naval officers posting to New York the operation failed after British intelligence heard about it and the prince increased security around himself after William later became monarch the American ambassador told him of the wartime plan and of Washington's edict that if the mission were successful the young prince should suffer no insult or indignity upon hearing the story William the fourth responded I am obliged to General Washington for his humanity but I'm damned glad I did not give him an opportunity of exercising it towards me topic privateering on the high seas British supply ships and troop ships often fell to American privateers operating under letters of marque and reprisal from the Continental Congress Franklin for example ran a flotilla of Irish and French privateers from the American mission in Paris success in intercepting British vessels was so great that the British accused their captains of taking bribes from the Americans to surrender their ships one privateer operating under contract to Silas Dean and a French business associate than utilising a French ship obtained by Benjamin Franklin was the BONHOMME RICHARD commanded by John Paul Jones topic sabotage only one sabotage known to have been launched in England sometime after his arrival in Paris Silas Dean was visited by a young man named James Aitken recently returned from America Aitken produced crudely drawn but accurate plans of the Royal Navy dockyards in England and proposed to sabotage them by utilising a unique incendiary device of his own design Dean engaged his services and issuedate can a passport signed by French Foreign Minister Vergennes with instructions to French officials we will in command you very expressly to let pass safely and freely mr. James Acton going to England without giving him or suffering him any hindrance but on the contrary giving every aid and assistance that he shall want or occasion for in late November 1776 Aitken landed at Dover and on December 7th he ignited a fire at the portsmouth dockyard that burned from late in the afternoon until the following morning destroying 20 tons of hemp 10 100 fathom 183 metres cables and 6 tons of ship cordage after failing to penetrate the security at Plymouth Aitken proceeded to Bristol where he destroyed two warehouses and several houses On January 16 1777 the British Cabinet met an emergency session and urged immediate measures to locate the mysterious John the painter Aitken was a house painter guards were augmented at all military facilities and Arsenal's and a reward was posted by January 20th the cabinet again in extraordinary session discussed suspending habeas corpus and placing the country under martial law five days later the reward was increased to 1,000 pounds and newspapers reported panic throughout England Aitken was soon apprehended with a pistol and in flammables in his possession he would not admit to the sabotage when interrogated but eventually confided in a friendly American visitor who was secretly in the pay of the British based on these confidences personal effects in the passport from Vergennes were located his trial was speedy and on March 10th 1777 Aitken went to the gallows at portsmouth dockyard where his exploits had begun his actions may have resulted in arson in the Royal dockyards in the time of war being added to the list of capital crimes in England which was one of the last to be repealed topic counterintelligence probably the first organization under the Articles of Confederation created for counterintelligence purposes was the committee for detecting and defeating conspiracies later the Commission it was made up of a series of groups established in New York between June 1776 and January 1778 to collect intelligence apprehend British spies and couriers and examine suspected British sympathizers in effect it was created as a secret service which had the power to arrest to convict to grant bail or parole and to imprison or to deport a company of militia was placed under its command the committee heard over 500 cases involving disloyalty and subversion John J has been called the first chief of American counterintelligence because of his role in the committee William Duer a New York planter and politician and Nathaniel Sackett an agent suggested by doer to George Washington were particularly successful in ferreting out British agents but found their greatest success in the missions of one of the dozen or so agents of their own Enoch Crosby Crosby a veteran of the Continental Army had been mistaken by a Westchester County loyalist as being someone who shared his views he confided to Crosby that a secret enemy military company was being formed and introduced him to the group Crosby reported the plot to the committee and was taken with the group he managed to escape and as directed infiltrated another secret Tory unit this unit including Crosby was also taken and escaped once more he repeated the operation at least two more times before the loyalists started to get wise to his escaping and he retired Crosby was the model for the central character in james fenimore cooper's book the spy 1821 the first espionage novel written in English another successful American agent was Captain David gray of Massachusetts posing as a deserter gray entered the service of colonel Robinson Ettore intelligence officer and became Robinson's courier as a result the contents of each of Robinson's dispatches were read by the Americans before their delivery gray eventually became the courier for major oliver de Lancie jr. the head of the British secret service in New York for two years gray as delancy's courier to Canada successfully penetrated the principal communications link of the British Secret Service upon completing his assignment gray returned to the ranks of the Continental Army and his name was struck from the deserter list where it had been placed at the beginning of the operation Colonel Benjamin Tallmadge a senior intelligence officer under Washington played a key role in the capture of Major John Andre who preceded Delancey as chief of the British Secret Service in New York although he declined to discuss the episode in his memoirs it is said that one of Talmadge's agents had reported to him that major Andre was in contact with a John Anderson who was expecting the surrender of a major installation learning that a certain John Anderson had been captured by three militiamen Tallmadge hurried to the post where Andre was being held John Paul ding Isaac Van Wert and David Williams had been on sentry trying to catch loyalist Cowboys that had been preying on people in Westchester County New York andre mistakenly assumed that the men were aligned with the British and declared himself to be a British officer then upon realizing the mistake tried to use a pass provided by Arnold they searched Andre and found papers hidden in his socks Paulding understood the papers revealed Anderson to be a spy and stated that no amount of money would be enough to let Andre go as Tallmadge arrived to the post he found that the Acting Post commander had sent Andre under guard back to general Arnold after extensive and animated lobbying by Tallmadge the commander Jameson ordered that Anderson be returned for interrogation and admitted to his true identity that he was Andre and was tried convicted and executed as a spy Arnold learning that Andre had been taken and that his own treachery was no doubt was exposed fled West Point before he could be captured and joined the British forces General Washington demanded effective counterintelligence work from his subordinates on March 24th 1776 for example he wrote there is one evil I dread and that as their spies I could wish therefore the most attentive watch be kept I wish a dozen or more of honest sensible and diligent men were employed in order to question cross question etc all such persons as are unknown and cannot give an account of themselves in a straight and satisfactory line I think that a matter of importance to prevent them from obtaining intelligence of our situation Washington occasionally had to deal with rogue intelligence officers in his own ranks who used their positions for personal gain or undertook unauthorized or illegal operations that might have compromised parts of his intelligence apparatus once Washington discovered that two of his agents who supposedly were collecting intelligence on Long Island actually were mere plundering parties he set up a special team to investigate and arrest the renegade operatives topic deception operations to offset British superiority in firepower and number of troops General Washington made frequent use of deception and disinformation he allowed fabricated documents to fall into the hands of enemy agents or be discussed in their presence he allowed couriers carrying bogus information to be captured by the British and inserted forged documents in intercepted British communications that were then permitted to continue on to their destination he had army procurement officers make false purchases of large quantities of supplies in places picked to convince the British that a sizeable rebel force was massing Washington even had fake military facilities built in all this he managed to make the British believe that his three thousand man Army outside Philadelphia was 40,000 strong after learning from the culper ring that the British planned to attack a french expedition that had just landed in newport rhode island washington planted information with known british agents indicating that he intended to move against New York City the British commander held back the troops headed for Rhode Island with elaborate deception Washington masked his movement toward Chesapeake Bay in Yorktown by convincing the British that he was moving on New York at Yorktown james Armistead a slave who had joined Lafayette service with his masters permission crossed into Cornwallis lines in the guise of an escaped slave and was recruited by Cornwallis to return to American lines as a spy Lafayette gave him a fabricated order that was destined for a large number of non-existent replacements Armistead delivered the bogus order in crumpled dirty condition to Cornwallis claiming to have found it along the road during his mission Cornwallis believed him and did not learn he had been tricked until after his surrender Armistead was granted his freedom by the Virginia General Assembly as a result of this and other wartime service another deception operation at Yorktown found Charles Morgan entering Cornwallis camp as a deserter when debriefed by the British he convinced them that Lafayette had sufficient boats to move all his troops against the British in one landing operation Cornwallis was duped by him and dug in rather than marched out of Yorktown Morgan in turn escaped in a British uniform and returned to the American lines with five British deserters and a prisoner topic propaganda upon receiving accurate intelligence that the British were hiring Hessian mercenaries for service in America Congress appointed a three-man committee to devise a plan for encouraging the Hessians and other foreigners to quit that iniquitous service the result was a resolution believed to have been drafted by Thomas Jefferson offering land grants to German deserters it was translated into German and sent among the Hessians Benjamin Franklin who joined the committee to implement the operation arranged for the leaflets to be disguised as tobacco packets to make sure they would fall into the hands of ordinary Hessian soldiers Christopher Ludwik was dispatched by Washington into the enemy camp posing as a deserter to contact the Hessians and encourage them to defect he is credited with the defection of many hundred soldiers from the German ranks in 1777 after his arrival in France Benjamin Franklin fabricated a letter purportedly sent by a German Prince to the commander of his mercenaries in America the letter disputed British casualty figures for the German troops arguing that the actual number was much higher and that he was entitled to a great amount of blood money the amount paid to the Prince for each of his men killed or wounded the Prince also encouraged the officer to be humane and to allow his wounded to die rather than try to save men who might only become cripples unfit for service to their prince between 5,000 and 6,000 Hessians deserted from the british side during the war in part because of American propaganda Franklin also produced a newspaper report purporting to describe the transmittal of scalps of soldiers settlers women and children to the royal governor of Canada by Britain's Indian allies the Indian transmittal letter indicated that a certain mark on scalps indicated they were those of women who were knocked dead or had their

quote unquote left the buying white house causing a quote-unquote blexit concern now if you new here what the [ __ ] we do here is read listen watch and we block talk break that [ __ ] down and y'all wouldn't believe that i was sitting up here thinking i was live talking in every [ __ ] thing you did until i looked at the top of that [ __ ] and it said press this big ass blue button if you want to go live so uh my bad for the little tardiness right there that's all me god damn it but anyway let's read the headline more than 20 black staffers leave the buying white house causing concerns of blexit some staffers reportedly carry feelings that black staff aren't valued and don't have advancement opportunities wow i wonder why they feel like that the black staffers y'all feel like they like

very very terrible right now god damn it it's so many words that can pop up in my head but you have to feel very terrible right now goddammit because this man been ignoring black people ever since he got in a [ __ ] white house ever since he got in the white house y'all but let's continue look at the dirty ass white house upon his tender as president joe biden promised that his staff will reflect the diversity of the nation and he did open the doors for people of all backgrounds to come in but those doors have some but but those doors for some have swung both ways according to a new report what some are claiming is a normal and expected staff turnover as 20 black staffers leave their white house jobs others have dubbed the departure blexit meaning blacks exiting the goddamn white house y'all nah my bad for the little stumbler but y'all know how to be in the beginning god damn it did you hear that people god damn it he came in talking about he don't have all kind of diversity and he been hiring them and firing them god damn it blacks come in and blacks go right the [ __ ] back out god damn it wow but quickly y'all i want y'all to take note that they said some are claiming that this is normal an expected staff turnover y'all this will not be the last time that you see that [ __ ] this will not be the last time that you see that [ __ ] in a report published by politico nine current and former white house staffers shared interviews that despite some employees leaving on good terms supposedly and for family and other personal reasons there's a climate that some other black employees find discouraging other black incur my bad other black employees find discouraging wow i wonder what that was why they didn't elaborate on what the [ __ ] they found so discouraging was they [ __ ] treating them like they wasn't valued like the people said was they uh hanging nooses around the [ __ ] white house because that's possible you know these people do all kind of terrible [ __ ] you would not believe what goes on inside that goddamn white house outside of clinton and sex and [ __ ] like that god damn it it really goes down in the white house y'all but let's continue but other black employees found this [ __ ] discouraging you are witnessing the rebel network the next block the news website quoted and unnamed staffer as saying they bought in a ton of black people generally to start without ever establishing an infrastructure to retain them or help them be successful while if there is no clear infrastructure of how to be successful you become just as invisible in this space than you would be if you were if you were not in it goddammit you become just as invisible in this space than you would be if you were not in it wow do you hear that because that's flat out [ __ ] disrespect y'all they said that the black people first of all they said they hired a ton of black people anytime i hear the word a ton of black people i really think of they trying to lighten up the them really saying they hired a gang of [ __ ] they hired a gang of [ __ ] without no infrastructure infrastructure is a key word y'all infrastructure mean white people they didn't get no white people to [ __ ] retain them y'all know what the word retain mean right matter of fact let's make sure we everybody on board this [ __ ] with a screenshot thing y'all uh my bad if i'm moving a little slow i told y'all i'm rusty with this [ __ ] chef screen go to chrome tab [ __ ] retain do y'all see that definition up there they said they had no whites to retain them god damn it keep hold on to y'all hold fast to keep back hang on to maintain wow preserve that's what black people need y'all that's what we need somebody to cuddle us y'all that's what he's saying wow black people need somebody to coddle them see that's what they [ __ ] that's where they [ __ ] up at you did they get nobody to cuddle these [ __ ] bro hold on to them holy hand because they ain't grown goddamnit they not grown men and women let's go back to the damn article as i'm beginning to get mad back to the article wow they bought in the gang of [ __ ] y'all they bought in a gang of [ __ ] without establishing white people to coddle them or to help them be successful wow so much for being hired because you qualify so much for being hired based upon your resume because if you was hired based on your resume and your qualifications that means somebody determined that you can handle this job you can be successful at this job you don't need anyone else to coddle you on this job this man resume reflects that of someone who is qualified to come in here and work inside of the [ __ ] white house of the united snakes of america people wow ain't that a [ __ ] ain't that a [ __ ] talking about you become just as invisible in this space than if you wasn't even here that's because you not there you my pet rat or my pet dog around the goddamn white house nobody gives a [ __ ] about what y'all doing y'all just walking around the white house black just like kamala god damn and she ain't even black but that's another story they just walking around the white house invisible and [ __ ] let's continue you are witnessing a rebel network some people have not had the best experiences and a lot of that has to do with the dirt aka lack of black leadership wow a former official agreed think about any workplace black folks need some person to go to strategize and be a mentor y'all and we just don't have as many folks who can be mentors to us wow ain't that a [ __ ] oh we need in any job y'all let me highlight that [ __ ] matter of fact in any job goddammit think about any workplace this dude just said any workplace ain't that a [ __ ] so no matter what job your black ass on you need some person to go to you need somebody to strategize with and be a mentor to you here you go lil [ __ ] here's how you flip that burger here you go [ __ ] here here's how you stock that shelf goddammit here's how you work at a corner store or whatever the [ __ ] they won't say about us next god damn it we need a mentor y'all ain't that a [ __ ] that they said no matter what job and first of all before we skip over this don't think y'all got away with it they have not had the best experiences y'all why they not elaborating on what the hell them experiences were what was the experiences y'all you didn't say as a good ass reporter hey what experiences that you have and look how they soften it up y'all not the best experience oh so it was a alright experience a okay experience goddammit that leaves room for any kind of uh experience god damn it talking about a dirt of black leadership that's the problem y'all a lot of this [ __ ] gotta do with ain't no black leadership in the white house the problem not joe biden y'all it's not joe biden y'all remember that the problem is not joe biden because he not the president he not he's not in control of his staffers y'all he not in control of the work environment of the white house y'all it's not his fault you know who we supposed to blame like this dude just said it has to do with the dirt aka lack of black leadership a former official agreed put your name behind it coward wow but remember y'all any workplace that your black ass in you need somebody to strategize with and go to [ __ ] i don't even be want to talk to anybody on a goddamn job but anyway that's another story let's continue y'all you are witnessing a rebel network shout out to everybody comment my bad you know when i be sitting up here reading this i don't be seeing the comments as much god damn it but you know i appreciate the support likes and all of that [ __ ] god damn it without y'all i would not be sitting up this late doing this [ __ ] let's continue though it is not uncommon let's make sure i ain't passed some [ __ ] up yeah it is not uncommon that as the first year of any administration concludes staff tends to depart this administration seems to be seems to be in keeping with that tradition my bad let me re-read y'all know i like stumbling with [ __ ] but i'm rusty as hell it is not uncommon that as the first year of any administration concludes staff staff tends to depart this administration seems to be keeping in with that tradition the white house has seen several departures across all of its staff and former press secretary jen saki left her post to join msnbc where she'll join simone sanders who left the vice president kamala harris staff to host a weekend show on msnbc wow y'all is that green of pastures by the way you leave the united states of america's white house to go do a weekend show on msnbc y'all on msnbc get the hell out of here but remember y'all that's the second time you heard that uh honest this isn't uncommon and this always happened you know and they're just keeping up with the tradition you see they just keeping up with the tradition wow that's what they doing a tradition of laying everybody off at the same [ __ ] time huh wow ain't that a [ __ ] the tradition of laying everybody off at the same time then they sit up there and name some more names y'all ain't got time for all of that [ __ ] let's continue the reality of low salaries in a city as expensive as washington dc can't be ignored as well white house staffers salaries start at around 40 ag's and the highest paid employees earned in a neighborhood of 180 g's the current administration has also made the strides to close the gender gap that exists in prior white house staff pay rates women compromise about 60 percent of the buying white house appointees and about 56 percent of its senior staff so y'all all this time they keep telling us oh this is um this is common this always happened this tradition and all of that if it's tradition and all of that why the [ __ ] y'all blaming it on black people not having no money the reality is the low salaries y'all remember you see that [ __ ] the reality of it is the low salaries you did ain't that a [ __ ] that's the real reality [ __ ] them telling you that oh this is common tradition regular turnover this is regular staff turnover well why the [ __ ] are you coming up with an excuse talking about [ __ ] too broke to live in washington dc you know they only getting 48 g's goddammit you know [ __ ] can't live off that that's why that's what the reality is god damn it then they break off into some old women's [ __ ] but we ain't even about to bite into that old distraction piece right there let's continue biden came into office pledging that the staff of the white house would look like the population of the country that elected him at this halfway point in his administration that promise seems to be a work in progress while a work in progress i barely even hear him say the word [ __ ] black god damn it i never even hear him talk about black people remember he was gonna have all this transparency with the police and all of that [ __ ] never saw it y'all what happened to the transparency body what happened to all of the only thing i saw bond do is give everybody else money he gave asians everything they needed god damn it people call him a [ __ ] for a couple weeks or whatever cursed him out for a few weeks and they got broke off god damn it the uh what they name is the latinos they could basically walk across the board or not and have the same rights as you and me god damn it i don't know how you feel about that but i ain't [ __ ] with it everybody got theirs y'all the police got uh all types of grants and [ __ ] they even got some of that kovid money off the top goddammit you see everybody got broke off remember inside of that covid uh package even the media got broke off did y'all see that even the media got broke off god dammit but let's continue talking about he he a work in progress he ain't started working yet god damn it unless you call ignoring black people working but with the departure of richmond they talking about cedric richmond someone many black staff has looked up to according to politico a gap has been left so y'all they just not told us that cedric richmond was somebody that black staffers looked up to huh oh that sounds like that leadership that charles said was missing remember they said they ain't had no black leadership well cedric richmond seemed to be the one that y'all said many black staff was looked up to you see how they lie see how people lie to you then tell you the truth with the same tongue they'll lie to you then lie to the goddamn self god dammit lie to the goddamn self let's continue y'all but richman told politico that the white house had given great opportunities to black staffers and that many were simply leaving for other jobs with more money with more paid wow so the white house so first of all if you got hired to work in a white house ain't you there for to make a cause like you know make a change my bad to make a change and [ __ ] ain't you there for justice to fight you know fight injustices and [ __ ] you mean to tell me you just gonna quit because you get 40 ag's a year for real and most blacks we come from humble beginnings goddammit so we know how to survive 48 g's ain't nothing compared to somebody who determined to come up or determined to make a change god damn it they know the payoff gonna come sooner or later so for real they just left because other places got more money i'ma leave the white house of the united states of america that's what's gonna be on your goddamn resume and you gonna leave that for a [ __ ] weekend television show a weekend television show all right for real y'all believe that [ __ ] i hope not for real and everybody if you don't know by not them people got fired fired god damn ain't no damn staff turnover this always happened it's a tradition goddammit then they start telling you about how broke black people is and it's so high to live in washington let's see what else they [ __ ] say a lot of people have been at this grind for a while and it's a hard grind richmond said so a slowing down of the work of the work pace and a better salary becomes more attractive for young african-american staffers who can make these types of salaries it don't it doesn't change their plight but their families play my bad it doesn't change they play but they family play wow wow so all of a sudden working at the white house ain't that attractive huh what happened to oh we just got jean stud pierre she's in the white house and whatever happened to all of them idiots uh with her name distraction jackson what happened to all of them kamala harris i thought it was such a occasion to work at the white house y'all now all of a sudden man [ __ ] ain't making enough money you know other people paying young black [ __ ] out you know they could go somewhere else you know think about the plight of their families and all of that [ __ ] if you black and you made it to the white house you supposed to be trying to make a god damn change if you black you know how to grind we are the grind god damn it we've been grinding what the [ __ ] is he talking about matter of fact y'all should know that they said this before every time they uh i mean fire black people they act like it was the grind that got to him matter of fact let me find that video with jinsaki stupid air let me see if i could find that talking about it was the grind that got to him you know [ __ ] be tired and [ __ ] you know come on now let me see here it is yo press play on that [ __ ] y'all see it i would say that working on a presidential campaign i'm maybe covering one too i would say to be fair and uh working in the first year of a white house is exciting and rewarding but it's also grueling and exhausting it's all of those things at once yep it's so grueling and exhausting y'all that was after simone sanders left oh it's grueling and exhausting you know [ __ ] can't handle that type of [ __ ] you know y'all [ __ ] they just hired a gang of [ __ ] and ain't putting no white people on them ain't that a [ __ ] ain't that a [ __ ] let's go back to the little article y'all know matter of fact that's the end of the article [ __ ] complete [ __ ] y'all who ends the article like that who ends the article like that oh man you know uh you got to think about the plight of these families that's why they uh sitting up there and quitting they really blaming black people the whole god damn time they blaming us the whole time man it's a lack of black leadership now it's a lack of black people who can survive the grind nah is uh man they too po to be living in washington dc ain't that a [ __ ] y'all but like i told y'all i'ma make sure that i just grind it out god damn it for lack of a better word and try to put out a video every day y'all know me i usually take my time you know and sometimes that can lead to me not dropping [ __ ] god damn just trying to be so much of a [ __ ] perfectionist sometime like this [ __ ] every time i stumbled on some word that would have been a time where i would have quickly started that video all the way over and i'm talking about from the beginning any time you heard me stumble over word during me reading this [ __ ] that's when i would have been editing my ass off god damn and that [ __ ] ain't easy when you watching that oh you just be shooting you know man you gotta really cut these little videos down and make sure you under 30 seconds of those youtube tripping and all kind of [ __ ] bruh this ain't just no easy [ __ ] then you got to think about your own life this ain't nothing safe for me to be doing like you understand me there's people who hate people who talk about [ __ ] like this on the internet bro so understand i appreciate everybody man once

-x7NNfzIG1k | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-x7NNfzIG1k | Prerequisite 3 of 3 - UNIX on Windows - Apache MAVEN Setup | I welcome back this is eric Thornton today we're going to go into installing and configuring Apache maven and running our first Java program using the Apache maven project object model approach a couple quick housekeeping things you can always get here through chameleon metadata calm click any of number of Education links there all the videos are available and posted on YouTube we have a youtube channel search chameleon metadata and I try and keep up with the useful links for things that have made my life easier as I've gone through learning how to use this open source software so for today we're going to go right into Apache maven and as with all of our course we're on the left margin are the steps of what we're going to do in this case there's going to be three steps to install it a fourth just going over some of the basics of cygwin and then a fifth one we're going to generate a maven project and run the hello world app also at the lower left side of the margin is an email to the instructor today it's me Eric Thornton at et at chameleon metadata calm and in the upper right corner is a link to the PDF one pager of the course where of whatever it is you're having to be going through at that time so let's just go right in we'll use that course where I'm going to use I like the indentation on the PDF so the first thing is to find a patchy maven we've made that a little easier for you because we've got the live link here for you so what I did was already downloaded it it's not a really big file so I'm going to go to my downloads file and then I'm going to extract it to wherever you installed cygwin in our case we installed cygwin on d so I'll extract the zip file directly to the d drive so let's go there just going into file manager downloads and there's the maven zip right clicking with Windows extract all we're going to browse go directly to the D notice that the D folder is selected nothing else we're going right to the root of D and show the extracted files when complete so it extracts and we see that a new directory called Apache maven 339 has been created so will close that person the next thing we're going to do is we're going to add the directory to the windows path as I've said before in the other videos whenever we do anything with the windows path we have to make sure we start stop any open versions of cygwin and start them and also don't remove anything from the path will only be adding because i want to add the apache may even been my preferred way to do it is i'm going to go into Apache maven the one and the bin directory that I want to add and it doesn't matter which folder I pick just right-click on any of them and hit properties do not double click it and once you hit properties you can highlight that with the mouse right mouse click and copy and so now I'll go back up to the D directory and at this point we're going to add that to the windows path from past videos we know we go control panel system advanced settings environment variables and the path in this case we want cygwin to be the fifth variable I this is why I did the properties now I know I don't have any typos and I'll move it up to position five and I'll say okay if your path variable comes up with just a long string the older Scott this is on the older style this is on Windows 10 you're looking at just make sure that the maven is the fifth entry so we're going to say ok ok and close that we've now added it to the windows path so now we're going to open a Windows cygwin window and make sure that maven is installed correctly so I go to the desktop quick note here I'm going to right-click the icon hit properties advanced always making sure run as administrator is checked when you run cygwin so we open the cygwin window I'll bring it down here where it's a little easier to see and we're going to write in the MV n which is the maven header space hyphen version and what we see here is really good news it knows that it's maven home directory set properly that's where we added it in the path it also sees that it's Java 18 points set you know update 73 which we installed this first video it knows that our Java home is correct where we made it which is great news and so all in all everything's working really nicely there and we'll go back to our instructions so we've gotten here now I'm going to open a new terminal window and show you a couple things i'll just go right through it the dollar sign is is like the command prompt the control C&V do not work in cygwin windows so i could do this and do ctrl c it will copy because i'm in the windows environment but once I'm inside cygwin these control C&V don't work you have to use mouse highlighting and a right click with copy and paste and the command CD changes your your directory there's the idea of the active directory when we run programs the Active Directory you have to first switch director or change directories so that you're at the active directory you want because everything in cygwin runs local and then this LS space minus L or I finnell and I even put it in the upper case here but you do it in the lower case is the long form and it will give you a directory listing should you see a listing with the suffix like in in this file there's the PowerPoint file you may find that that's a file itself if there's no suffix it's a directory so what we're going to do now and we'll we'll do a couple things with the copy and paste so we'll go over all of this while we do our first cygwin program so what I'm going to do is I'm going to CD to wherever you installed we did it on d so I'm going to open a new cygwin window and we need to get the active directory to the Apache so CD d colon right now if i do LS space hyphen l you know what hold on a second let me redo that again oh and here's another little trick on cygwin if i do the up arrow it does the last command i do to up arrows so and so forth if we do it this way we notice that the next thing we want to get into is where are we apache maven 339 so my point is if I go here and I hit I'm using control-c if i go into maven into cygwin i'm going to hit control V it doesn't understand what to do you have to right click and paste and that will change the directory my active directory is now d Apache maven in Windows that means we're here okay so at that point we've changed our directory and now again our active directory is the maven so we are going to create I'm copying this copy we're going to create a project called maven check it'll be inside the maven directory so we go here we right-click alone a second are going to move the little gotomeeting window right click and hit paste what this is going to do is it's going to set up a folder structure inside the apache inside a folder called maven check don't worry so much about this just copy the command and I'm hitting enter and there's going to be a whole bunch of a whole bunch of lines go by don't worry about them eventually the you'll have a bunch of downloads come down from maven and it may take you three or four minutes the first time don't worry it almost looks like it's crashing it's not but eventually you'll get to this choose a number or apply filter um I wouldn't OOP didn't mean to hit that just don't touch that and hit enter oh there we go just hit enter everything we're just going to accept the default and then we see build success that's what we want to say that means it worked so now what we've done is we have created this let's take a minute of what we just did with that statement you'll notice that we created a project called maven check and noticed calm chameleon metadata may even verify so let's look in here and you notice that now inside the Maven 39 is a maven check the palm this is how maven works that's not really for this course but it tells me even what to do and the act of generating a project like we did in this case maven check creates a basic palm which will run and if you remember back when we did the command with all of this part of it calm chameleon metadata maven dot verify if we go into the directory source main and Java now there's this is what we supplied calm chameleon metadata maven verify and there's an app java java program in there and we can just open him up real quick and all this is going to do is say hello world and every time you generate a project with maven it puts in this palm dot XML again it's not really for this class to go into it will go into it a lot going through the clear NLP but so it does that and at this point it looks like everything is working really nicely let's minimize that so we've now created our project we now know that there's a directory called maven check we're going to make sure you see we're not in that directory so CD maven check now this is very important because LS space hyphen L we need to be with that pom.xml is ok so that's where we are so this is our active directory now we'll go in and the next thing is we're going to compile the program and then we're going to run it so I'm just going to copy this right here for now so the first thing we have to do is pile and for compile it's mvn space compile and it'll buzz out a bunch of stuff it'll download some force some files if it needs them so this will be a little shorter or longer depending on if it's your first maven or not this was a new machine but I'm rerecording this so it didn't have to download as much as it did the first time but the main point we have builds success then the final part I'm going to paste OOP that's say this is where sometimes it can get a little tricky so we'll come over here and grab it again control copy will go into maven and we're going to do paste and this is the run command and at this point we'll hit enter and it may download a couple classes it needs and you notice the same bills success but this program was a hello world so at that point we now know that we have completed successfully installing java cygwin and maven with the hello world now we're in a position to really start rolling because the next set of tutorials will be the clear NLP natural language processing software it's kind of one of the foundational elements for doing data science and we're going to need a unix environment to run it so now we have that so with that this is eric thornton for chameleon metadata learning and education tutorial series reminding you check our YouTube channel just search chameleon metadata and are you to our useful links section and I will certainly look forward to seeing everybody back in the clear NLP which is coming up next Erik Thorton San bye-bye |

SDcq4KZsk90 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDcq4KZsk90 | Ghost town | Wikipedia audio article | a ghost town as an abandoned village town or city usually one that contains substantial visible remains a town often becomes a ghost town because the economic activity that supported it has failed or due to natural or human caused disasters such as floods prolonged droughts government actions uncontrolled lawlessness war pollution or nuclear disasters the term can sometimes refer to cities towns and neighborhoods that are still populated but significantly less so than in past years for example those affected by high levels of unemployment and dereliction some ghost towns especially those that preserve period-specific architecture have become tourist attractions some examples are Banach calico Centralia Oatman and south pass city in the United States barkerville in Canada Krakow in Italy Elizabeth Bay and Kolmanskop in Namibia Pripyat in Ukraine and Denis Cody in India the Town of Plymouth on the Caribbean island of Montserrat as a ghost town that is the de jure capital of Montserrat it was rendered uninhabitable by volcanic ash from an eruption topic definition the definition of a ghost town varies between individuals and between cultures some writers discount settlements that were abandoned as a result of a natural or human-made disaster or other causes using the term only to describe settlements that were deserted because they were no longer economically viable T Lindsay Baker author of ghost towns of Texas defines a ghost town as a town for which the reason for being no longer exists some believe that any settlement with visible tangible remains should not be called a ghost town others sake conversely that a ghost town should contain the tangible remains of buildings whether or not the settlement must be completely deserted or may contain a small population is also a matter for debate generally though the term is used in a looser sense encompassing any and all of these definitions the American author Lambert Florence preferred definition of a ghost town was simply a shadowy semblance of a former self topic reasons for abandonment factors leading to abandonment of towns include depleted natural resources economic activity shifting elsewhere railroads and roads bypassing are no longer accessing the town human intervention disasters massacres Wars and the shifting of politics our fall of Empires a town can also be abandoned when it is part of an exclusion zone due to natural or man-made causes topic economic activity shifting elsewhere ghost towns may result when the single activity or resource' that created a boomtown eg nearby mine mill or resort is depleted or the resource economy undergoes a bust eg catastrophic resource price collapse boom towns can often decrease in size as fast as they initially grew sometimes all or nearly the entire population can desert the town resulting in a ghost town the dismantling of a boomtown can often occur on a planned basis mining companies nowadays will create a temporary community to service a mine site building all the accommodation shops and services required and then remove them once the resource has been extracted modular buildings can be used to facilitate the process a gold rush would often bring intensive but short-lived economic activity to a remote village only to leave a ghost town once the resource was depleted in some cases multiple factors may remove the economic basis for a community some former mining towns on US Route 66 suffered both mine closures when the resources were depleted and loss of highway traffic as US 66 was diverted away from places like Oatman Arizona unto a more direct path in other cases the reason for abandonment can arise from a town's intended economic function shifting to another nearby place this happened to Collingwood Queensland in outback Australia when nearby Winton outperformed Collingwood as a regional centre for the livestock raising industry the railway reached Winton in 1899 linking it with the rest of Queensland and Collingwood was a ghost town by the following year the Middle East has many ghost towns that were created when the shifting of politics or the fall of Empires caused capital cities to be socially or economically unviable such as CTE siphon the rise of condominium investment caused for real estate bubbles also leads to a ghost town as real-estate prices rise and affordable housing becomes less available such examples include China and Canada where housing is often used as an investment rather than for habitation topic human intervention railroads and roads bypassing are no longer reaching a town can create a ghost town this was the case in many of the ghost towns along Ontario's historic Apollo line and along US Route 66 after motorists bypassed the ladder on the faster-moving highways i-44 and i-40 some ghost towns were founded along railways where steam trains would stop at periodic intervals to take on water Amboy California was part of one such a series of villages along the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad across the Mojave Desert River rerouting is another factor one example being the towns along the RLC ghost towns may be created when land is expropriated by a government and residents are required to relocate one example is the village of taina in Dorset England acquired during World War two to build an artillery range a similar situation occurred in the US when NASA acquired land to construct the John C Stennis Space Center SSC a rocket testing facility in Hancock County Mississippi on the Mississippi side of the Pearl River which is the Mississippi Louisiana state line this required NASA to acquire a large approximately 34 square mile 88 square kilometers buffer zone because of the loud noise and potential dangers associated with testing such rockets 5 thinly populated rural Mississippi communities Gainesville Logtown Napoleon Santa Rosa and whis tonyia plus the northern portion of a sixth Pearlington along with 700 families in residents had to be completely relocated off the facility sometimes the town might cease to officially exist but the physical infrastructure remains for example the five Mississippi communities that had to be abandoned to build SSC still have remnants of those communities within the facility itself these include city streets now overgrown with forest flora and fauna and a one-room schoolhouse another example of infrastructure remaining as the former town of Weston Illinois that voted itself out of existence and turned the land over for construction of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory many houses and even a few barns remain used for housing visiting scientists and storing maintenance equipment while roads that used to cross through the site have been blocked off at the edges of the property with gate houses are simply barricades to prevent unsupervised access topic flooding by dams construction of dams has produced ghost towns that have been left underwater examples include the settlement of Lewiston Tennessee us inundated by the creation of Norris dam the town was reorganized and reconstructed on nearby higher ground other examples are the lost villages of Ontario flooded by st. Lawrence Seaway construction in 1958 the Hamlet's of nether Hamlet on and middle Hamlet on in Rutland England which were flooded to create Rutland water and the villages of a shopton in Derwent England flooded during the construction of the Lady Bower reservoir Malaga in Russia was flooded by the creation of ribbons grezzo voir and in France that team a dam flooded the village of Tignes displacing 78 families many ancient villages had to be abandoned during construction of the Three Gorges Dam in China leading to displacement of many rural people in the Costa Rican province of Guanacaste the town of arenal was rebuilt to make room for the man-made lake arenal the old town now lies submerged below the lake old ad Amina B was flooded by a dam of the Snowy River scheme construction of the Aswan High Dam on the Nile River in Egypt submerged archeological sites and ancient settlements such as buin under Lake Nasser another example of towns left under water as tarry by the construction of the Tehri dam in the Indian state of Uttarakhand topic massacres some towns become deserted when their populations are massacred the original French village at oradour-sur-glane was destroyed on the 10th of June 1944 when 642 of its 663 inhabitants including women and children were killed by a German waffen-ss Company a new village was built after the war on a nearby site and the ruins of the original have been maintained as a memorial topic disasters actual and anticipated natural and man-made disasters can create ghost towns for example after being flooded more than 30 times since their town was founded in 1845 residents of Patton's burg Missouri decided to relocate after two floods in 1993 with government help the whole town was rebuilt three miles 4.8 kilometres away Krakow a medieval village in the Italian region of Basilicata was evacuated after a landslide in 1963 nowadays it is a famous filming location for many movies including The Passion of the Christ by Mel Gibson Christ stop that Eboli by Francesco Rossi the Nativity story by Catherine Hardwicke and Quantum of Solace by Marc Forster in 1984 Centralia Pennsylvania was abandoned due to an uncontainable mine fire which began in 1962 and still rages to this day eventually the fire reached an abandoned mine underneath the nearby town of Burnsville Pennsylvania which caused that mine to catch on fire too and forced the evacuation of that town as well ghost towns may also occasionally come into being due to an anticipated natural disaster for example the Canadian town of Lemieux Ontario was abandoned in 1991 after soil testing revealed that the community was built on an unstable bed of lita clay two years after the last building in Lemieux was demolished a landslide swept part of the former town site into the south nation River two decades earlier the Canadian town of st. Jean viene Quebec also constructed on a lead a clay base had been abandoned after a landslide on the 4th of May 1971 which swept away 41 homes killing 31 people following the Chernobyl disaster of 1986 dangerously high levels of nuclear radiation escaped into the surrounding area and nearly 200 towns and villages in Ukraine and neighboring Belarus were evacuated including the cities of Pripyat in Chernobyl the area was and still as so contaminated with nuclear radiation that many of the evacuation ever permitted to return to their homes Pripyat is the most famous of these abandoned towns it was built for the workers of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and had a population of almost 50,000 at the time of the disaster topic disease and contamination you significant fatality rates from epidemics have produced ghost towns some places in eastern Arkansas were abandoned after more than seven thousand are Kansans died during the Spanish flu epidemic of 1918 and 1919 several communities in Ireland particularly in the west of the country were wiped out due to the Great Famine in the latter half of the nineteenth century and the years of economic decline that followed catastrophic environmental damage caused by long-term contamination can also create a ghost town some notable examples are Times Beach Missouri whose residents were exposed to a high level of dioxins and whit Noom Western Australia which was once Australia's largest source of blue asbestos but was shut down in 1966 due to health concerns trees and pitcher twin communities straddling the Kansas Oklahoma border were once one of the United States largest sources of zinc and led but over a century of unregulated disposal of mine tailings led to groundwater contamination and lead poisoning in the towns children eventually resulting in a mandatory Environmental Protection Agency buyout and evacuation contamination due to ammunition caused by military use may also lead to the development of ghost towns rare request an area of Rarick germany had been home to a group of Soviet forces in Germany barracks during the German Democratic Republic but following German reunification it was abandoned due to ammunition contamination from the barracks located on a peninsula separated from Rarick by a small isthmus in 1992 it was turned into a restricted area while the rest of the town remained populated topic revived ghost towns a few ghost towns get a second life often due to heritage tourism generating a new economy able to support residents for example walhalla Victoria Australia became almost deserted after its gold mine ceased operation in 1914 but owing to its accessibility and proximity to other attractive locations it has had a recent economic and holiday population surge Alexandria the second largest city of Egypt was a flourishing city in the ancient era but declined during the Middle Ages it underwent a dramatic revival during the 19th century from a population of 5,000 in 1806 it grew into a city of more than 200,000 inhabitants by 1882 and is now home to more than 4 million people in Algeria many cities became Hamlet's after the end of Late Antiquity they were revived with shifts in population during an after French colonization of Algeria or on currently the nation's second largest city with 1 million people was a village of only a few thousand people before colonisation Funch eviden a village in Leon Spain that was mostly abandoned and only inhabited by a mother and son is slowly being revived owing to the ever-increasing stream of pilgrims on the road to Santiago de Compostela topic around the world you topic Africa wars and rebellions in some African countries have left many towns and villages deserted since 2003 when President Francois Bozize 8 came to power thousands of citizens of the Central African Republic have been forced to flee their homes as a result of the escalating conflict between armed rebels and government troops village is accused of supporting the rebels such as baya gombo dernier POIs are ransacked by government soldiers those who are not killed have no choice but to escape two refugee camps the instability in the region also leaves organized and well-equipped bandits free to terrorize the populace often leaving villages abandoned in their wake elsewhere in Africa the town of like Engel was burnt to the ground during tribal clashes in South Sudan before its destruction the town had a population of 20,000 the Libyan town of Tawergha had a population of around 25,000 before it was abandoned during the 2011 civil war and it has remained empty since many of the ghost towns in mineral-rich Africa are former mining towns shortly after the start of the 1908 diamond rush in German Southwest Africa now known as Namibia the German Imperial Government claimed sole mining rights by creating the spurge be it Forbidden Zone effectively criminalizing new settlement the small mining towns of this area among them Pomona Elizabeth Bay and Kolmanskop were exempt from this ban but the denial of new land claims soon rendered all of them ghost towns topic Asia China has many large urban property developments sometimes referred to as ghost cities that have remained mostly unoccupied since they were built the town of Dhanush Cody India as a ghost town many abandoned towns and settlements in the former Soviet Union were established near gulag concentration camps to supply necessary services since most of these camps were abandoned in the 1950s the towns were abandoned as well one such town is located near the former gulag camp called Buddha each AK also called lower Buddha he check other towns were deserted due to deindustrialization and the economic crises of the early 1990s attributed to post-soviet conflicts topic Antarctica the oldest ghost town in Antarctica is on deception island where in 1906 a Norwegian Chilean company set up the whaling station at whaler's bay which they used as a base for their factory ship the gobernador boris other whaling operations followed suit and by 1914 there were 13 factory ships based there the station ceased to be profitable during the Great Depression and was abandoned in 1931 in 1969 the station was partially destroyed by a volcanic eruption there are also many abandoned scientific and military bases in Antarctica especially in the Antarctic Peninsula the Antarctic island of South Georgia used to have several thriving whaling settlements during the first half of the 20th century with a combined population exceeding 2,000 in some years these included Grytviken operating 1904 264 Leith Harbor 1909 265 Ocean Harbor 1909 220 Huss Vick 1910 260 Strom nest 1912 261 and Prince Olav harbour 1917 234 the abandoned settlements have become increasingly dilapidated and remain uninhabited nowadays except for the museum curators family at Grytviken the jetty the church and dwelling and industrial buildings at Grytviken have recently been renovated by the South Georgian government becoming a popular tourist destination some historical buildings in the other settlements are being restored as well topic Europe urbanization the migration of a country's rural population into the cities has left many European towns and villages deserted an increasing number of settlements in Bulgaria are becoming ghost towns for this reason at the time of the 2011 census the country had 181 uninhabited settlements in Hungary dozens of villages are also threatened with abandonment the first village officially declared us dead was Daru Phu in the late 1970s but later it was repopulated as an eco village some other depopulated villages were successfully saved as small rural resorts such as Kahn torna kupuna chantix Gorica and rafale in Spain large zones of the mountainous iberian system and the Pyrenees have undergone heavy depopulation since the early 20th century leaving a string of ghost towns in areas such as the Solana Valley traditional agricultural practices such as sheep and goat rearing on which the mountain village economy was based were not taken over by the local youth especially after the lifestyle changes that swept over rural Spain during the second half of the 20th century in the United Kingdom thousands of villages were abandoned during the Middle Ages as a result of Black Death climate change revolts and enclosure the process by which vast amounts of farmland became privately owned since there are rarely any visible remains of these settlements they are not generally considered ghost towns instead they are referred to in archeological circles as deserted medieval villages sometimes Wars and genocide and a town's life in 1944 occupying German waffen-ss troops murdered the population of the French village oradour-sur-glane a new settlement was built nearby after the war but the old town was left depopulated on the orders of President Charles de Gaulle as a permanent memorial in Germany numerous smaller towns and villages in the former eastern territories were completely destroyed in the last two years of the war these territories later became part of Poland and the Soviet Union and many of the smaller settlements were never rebuilt or repopulated for example Clemmy no West fallen off piste raised P strands and Genoa gora Johannesburg some villages in England were also abandoned during the war but for different reasons umber and titanum along with several villages in the stanford battle area were commandeered by the War Office for use as training grounds for British and US troops although this was intended to be a temporary measure the residents were never allowed to return and the villages have been used for military training ever since disasters have played a part in the abandonment of settlements within Europe after the Chernobyl disaster of 1986 the cities of Pripyat and Chernobyl were evacuated due to dangerous radiation levels within the area as of today Pripyat remains completely abandoned and Chernobyl has around 500 remaining inhabitants topic north america you topic Canada there are ghost towns in parts of British Columbia Alberta Ontario Saskatchewan Newfoundland and Labrador in Quebec some were logging towns are dual mining and logging sites often developed at the behest of the company in Alberta and Saskatchewan most ghost towns were once farming communities that have since died off due to the removal of the railway through the town or the bypass of a highway the ghost towns in British Columbia were predominantly mining towns and prospecting camps as well as canneries and in one or two cases large smelter and pulp mill towns British Columbia has more ghost towns than any other jurisdiction on the North American continent with one estimate at the number of abandoned and semi abandoned towns and localities upwards of 1,500 among the most notable are antiox kit salt and Ocean Falls some ghost towns have revived their economies and populations due to historical and ecotourism such as barkerville Barkerville once the largest town north of Kamloops is now a year-round provincial Museum in Quebec Valjean Bert as a well-known tourist ghost town founded in 1901 around a mechanical pulp mill that became obsolete when paper mills began to break down wood fiber by chemical means it was abandoned when the mill closed in 1927 and reopened as a park in 1960 topic United States there are many ghost towns or abandoned communities in the American Great Plains the rural areas of which have lost a third of their population since 1920 thousands of communities in the northern plains states of Montana Nebraska North Dakota and South Dakota became railroad ghost towns when a rail line failed to materialize hundreds more towns were abandoned when the US highway system replaced the railroads as the favored mode of travel ghost towns are common in mining or mill towns in all the western states and many eastern and southern states as well residents are compelled to leave in search of more productive areas when the resources that had created an employment boom in these towns were eventually consumed some unincorporated towns become ghost towns due to flooding caused by dam projects that created man-made lakes such as ocut icon ghost towns are particularly numerous in the southwestern state of New Mexico sometimes a ghost town consists of many abandoned buildings as in Bodie California or standing ruins as in Rio light Nevada while elsewhere only the foundations of former buildings remain as in gray Sonia Arkansas old mining camps that have lost most of their population at some stage of their history such as Aspen Deadwood Oatman Tombstone and Virginia City are sometimes referred to as ghost towns although they are presently active towns and cities many u.s. ghost towns such as south pass city in Wyoming are listed on the National Register of Historic Places some of the earliest settlements in the u.s. though they no longer exist in any tangible sense once had the characteristics of a ghost town in 1590 map maker John White arrived at the Roanoke colony North Carolina to find it deserted its inhabitants having vanished without a trace thus one endale colony became a ghost town when every one of the colonists was massacred by Indians in 1632 jamestown the first permanent English settlement in the Americas was abandoned when Williamsburg became the new capital of the colony in 1699 starting in 2002 an attempt to declare an official ghost town in California stalled when the adherence of the town of Bodie and those of calico in Southern California could not agree on the most as serving settlement for the recognition a compromise was eventually reached Bodie became the official state goldrush ghost town while calico was named the official state silver rush ghost town topic Latin America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries a wave of European immigrants arrived in Argentina and settled in the cities which offered jobs education and other opportunities that enabled newcomers to enter the middle class many also settled in the growing small towns along the expanding railway system since the 1930s many rural workers have moved to the big cities other ghost towns were created in the aftermath of dinosaur fossil rushes a number of ghost towns throughout Latin America were once mining camps or lumber mills such as the many saltpeter mining camps that prospered in Chile from the end of the saltpeter war until the invention of synthetic saltpeter during World War one some of these towns such as the Humberstone and Santa Laura saltpeter works in the Atacama Desert have been declared UNESCO World Heritage Sites another former mining town Real de Catorce in Mexico has been used as a backdrop for Hollywood movies such as the Treasure of the Sierra Madre 1948 the Mexican 2001 and bandidas 2006 topic Oceania the boom-and-bust of gold rushes and the mining of other ores has led to a number of ghost towns in both Australia and New Zealand other towns have become abandoned whither due to natural disasters the weather or the drowning of valleys to increase the size of lakes in Australia the Victoria Gold Rush led to numerous ghost towns such as Casilla Sand Molly ogle as did the hunt for gold in Western Australia for example the towns of or abanda and Kona the mining of iron and other ores has also led to towns thriving briefly before dwindling in New Zealand the Otago Gold Rush similarly led to several ghost towns such as mace town New Zealand's ghost towns also include numerous coal mining areas in the South Island's West Coast region including Denniston and Stockton natural disasters have also led to the loss of some towns notably tewara the Buried village destroyed in the 1886 eruption of Mount Tarawera and the Otago town of Kelso abandoned after it was flooded repeatedly after heavy rainstorms early settlements on the rugged southwest coast of the South Island at Martins Bay and Port Craig were also abandoned mainly due to the inhospitable terrain equals equals see also | wikipedia tts | UCMeSYAu27EY1aslaUSaL6VA |

kAJKXja1Xac | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAJKXja1Xac | Twin Cam Series: 14 How to install Cylinder Head using torque angle procedure on a Harley Davidson | all right guys we're going to continue on we kind of blast it through this one thing that was different about the twin cam 2 is it just uses an o-ring on the bottom not a base gasket so those are new backing back in shape there there were some o-rings on some dowel pins we've talked about that plenty of times you never reuse that I'm going to revisit head gaskets here from an evolution video an old one we did a couple years ago I think this is this is really important a harley-davidson as well as other people have experimented with different gasket materials makeups how they secured them the dowel pins everything but the thing I want to start off with first common for harley-davidson have an o-ring around those dowel pins and then the gasket that's of course the right gasket here this is for an evil but look at the dowel pin arrangement you can see that it needed that o ring and the gasket to do the job it was intended or designed to do it's that makes sense yeah so when you get this is another reason I love om Harley parts for the record I love aftermarket parts sometimes as well but I just want you to think about the fact that if you do put aftermarket parts in you got to read the instructions they come with people take gaskets for granted it's just one of those things don't overlook the little details so when you get your new head gaskets they're in a package like so do not use with o-rings okay so it's it's a it's an update if you will and this is kind of stuff you're not going to find that a serviceman you are you if you go the parts fish what's the parts fish gonna show you is required here over 800 rings okay so I revisit sorry I'm revisiting that from an older evolution video but it is important in worth measuring here you can see where the part number is facing up towards you and that would be the correct installation I'm gonna go ahead here and move forward with cylinder head installation honor cylinder heads they matter front to rear you're gonna see me just duplicate the process here but we're really gonna get into Harley Davidson head torque and and what that looks like we've got four fasteners we've got some short ones and some long ones all right guys just spur this harley-davidson service manual they want us to take oil okay and you've seen this from some other videos too about torque and they want just uh you don't fill this cavity we want just a very very light amount of oil and across this bolt it also says in the manual to wipe off the excess like I said they don't want a ton on there but I want to explain what's going on here so if we have oil along here a little bit oil on the threads okay so that's a pretty nicely machined surface in it and so's this faster so like I said that oil allows the bolt to roll across there all right so I'll go ahead and do that all of them I can't stress this enough if you do not understand or comprehend the torque process of fasteners make sure you add yourself this procedure should only be used in this case check out the summary at the end of this video and I'll explain more why stated this is step two when the service manual states at a step 1 122 142 wasn't it we've talked about this before too you can use extensions this way but you cannot use an extension that goes outward or backwards if you have to use something like that because like let's say you're trying to get in here and you can't get to the spacer you want to use a crows foot you need to set it at 90 degrees watch our fastener playlist for more info on that 17 so now you have to set the tool down here on this one this way stamp one is and I want to go to that degree sign and that's going to calibrate itself that's what this little pads for so you want to set this on a level surface like that we take in we make a mark here very tightness this doesn't move I tighten that bolt that should line up there and this represents that 90 degrees between there okay so we're going to do that on all the fasteners it's a way to kind of double check if you didn't have a digital torque wrench like this that's what you do for final torque so you can use your regular old half-inch breaker bar at this point and you move that 90 degrees it's done and good to go okay I'm gonna go ahead and take advantage of the tool I want to talk about this here about comfort you can see here where this can't it won't let me have a perfect 90 here okay just from the way it ratchets but I don't care anyway because if I start here okay I know that I need to go 90 degrees that means the torque rich is gonna end up here do you see how awkward that is so I'm gonna pull it into myself mm-hmm okay so I'm gonna go ahead and since I have it marked none of this matters I'm just gonna go up here so that I could pull this over now with this tool it's gonna vibrate yeah it's gonna tell me to stop it's gonna let me know where I'm at and then I could back it up with my paint marks that I put on there so I'm going to go ahead good even pressure and if doing one shot as I wrap this video up I want you to think about a couple things here first off every single torque procedure and every single service manual expects that you have an understanding that the first step is always to kiss the fasteners can't stress that enough then the last thing is simply just know that you can own your workspace and get comfortable make things easier for yourself

auHsQqeNkKo | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=auHsQqeNkKo | The real Paradise that we may to expect.wmv | the paradise that we may expect really the perfect creation of God allows that every evil is correct the trope the same freewheel allowed to every man in fact to be himself means to suffer the same limit of his delimitation in fact the negation of every negation is not a surprise in affirmation every limit every determination every every every in good and evil spiritually and in real bodies materially is something that is in the direction movies and it's victorious against those limits this is a truth coming from the first reason that the Lord of our being is the absolute we can be absolutely convention data by this reason a word appears in a condition because the exact opposite condition the existence of these two conditions equal and the contrary one are as +1 and mews one whose edition is 0 this 0 is the proof that 0 is in absolute appears to be exists simultaneously in the negative direction of magnetism and the matter and in the positive inversely right direction of electricity and the matter the absolute love of a foundation of unity and the Trinity a senior to the Almighty God is mathematical one it is this equation 1 equal to 10 tenth that in the Christian names either Holy Spirit is equal to the Father multiplied interactive with a son the holy spirit or the fundamental unit of everything is the strength that joins together father and son otherwise said is the first kills and is first effect well we're 1 equal to 10 tenth generally is 1 equal to n divided by n we have the universe as an immense number and number of thing that is unitary existence because of the existence of the equal and the contrary and that exists as its denominator resist time there are consequences of the absolute strength of this number one is that 1/1 Dragutin brings to F n therefore since every one of us is one divided end of the end universe the almighty power of the absolute that is presenting as the force of the number one we give to every NS part the end quantity of the universal existence all this world will be given to every one of us to every its part it'll happen with the triumph of the free will of everyone the negations of today which are suffered by everyone we put in everyone the absolute will that these negations should be completely defeated in infinite victory of everyone such as everyone will have the idea to have it 12 today only one divided n where the rule is n this is a modification and everyone will win is war against that limit told the winning absolutely that limit every limit is the cross assumed by a God in every one of us and we have the divine example of Jesus that defeated is cross we will do in the same way but who will establish the limit of its personal cross will be only the holy spirit of every person therefore ooh today suffers is limited and is considering that it is is it a true and proper be lacking in a fortune with conquer the great is surprised that on the contrary those limits so badly suffered will be as themselves is immense eternal good now we have to consider a lot of different lich king of a fortune when they are referring on our sense of useless of a love of richness of spirit we appear to be defeated in our God intentions well we'll win these battles forever it is the real meaning of the sermon of the month of Jesus he told about every good leifheit of every man in paradise the greatest happy will be the men that in this wrong word as fighted the greatest fights about justice and about love but every men will win is personal battle with the difference that not all the battles are exactly details one but in the world not everything exists as be there in fact there are the bodies and their matter is not a spiritual matter well also these rare things will have their victory in paradise it'll be material and not spiritual but also with spiritual implication since then the bodies in this world are the media dedicated to GV body to every idea as regarding the spirit as regarding the bodies in their matter in fact every possible idea if not as soon as a body suffers of latch of definition the love the greatest sentiment of every spirit it needs a real body in order that it can be really existent also if in a poor and the simple figuration the lava is one only sentiment but there are a lot of different real cases in which this love can be really lived assuming all the tops of beauty even the love it needs real butters room of all types to be happy in every possible way therefore the Almighty God created all the possible real situation about body and spirit that should be searching about their concrete law it is not a fortuitous case that the greedy simples of every man is that of the sex the passion the paradise touchid in the moment of the reaching of the orgasm is at the base of the modern real world why do you think that in paradise this paradise is latching if thing is so it's better that you change your opinion teacher it is wrong paradise is the extrapolation of the last meaning of this real context and since this world is based on the sex that is the fundamental that ellos the generation in their continuation also in paradise the sex will ever its same existence and it will be the alleged system through which the souls love each other in a concrete way but with a fundamental difference here in the real world over today i am only myself and my body ematter spirit afterward in paradise every privacy material and spiritual is defeated through the general communion among all the bodies and all the souls don't you Sonny of cl say that communion is freedom these that today is impossible on our reward based on the division will exist in the other world based on the verge of the division on the multiplication so the rail concrete love that today is divided between two Pearson in paradise will be multiplied because every love that existed exists and that will exist in this world that today has been provided will elude without any personal limits will be multiplied so not only in paradise there will be the presence of the sex but the multiplication among all the sexual action that are existed among old men it'll be the true conquest of that poor deal of the free love today impossible because of the first log for himself of every man today therefore it will be the pool of the soul of every man put a condition to assume in its spirit or the other situation of loving today negated by the necessity to divide everything among old men and to privatize everything the situation will be these that we already know but that know in this real world are provided the main today suffers legend of earth is in utter Dominion in paradise will have this Dominion since in paradise the existence is the new visitation the red visitation of the same world and every soul puts in action this ray visitation only if he desires to do it Evan will be the bank of life and each one will ever as long as it likes and the is too is liking for the interest there is always a missing the need to overcome a personal cross so they who now make a plenty of good sex which is a beautiful thing that exists between a man and a woman and the borders on the vice and the unnatural love and like in Evan will have no desire for sex and the love between gay men and women will be not wanted and will disappear sex is not a game but it is for the procreation that two men and two women can not to throw their sess vice and the profession in this world there are and when it will be like in Sodom we know how the biblio has decided to incinerate this town even if all men were perverts a general perversion does not become a good rule they are not men those who make the rules of what is good and what is not the fact is that today's world is very close to that of Sodom and Gomorrah would existed before Kristen 2012 he is the same that there is in symmetry in the 2012 after Domino so the gay of today will be screwed by their paradise Sodom and Gomorrah will not have their paradise oh they will ever they just paralyzed because of the real life that is not only the eternal increas in the timeline that we today are perceiving the life of today is in its positive going on as it was for the gods people when it was living in Egypt but afterward there is the Exodus and the certification of the same life perceive it in its going back to the condition of the beginning in which every man was an innocent child not yet victim of the sexuality all the men will return in the oven trope the sets of every mother and every father the sex is really the door that carries everyone in paradise but with the in urgent condition of every innocent child again having made in positive experience of his import all about body not about the spirit when after the believeth mortal point will live everything in the Investor dynamic will correct the perversion of before in everything in the inverse dynamic in fact every perversion when it is inverted is corrected all the death-defying senses in lucid by the life that transforms a poor innocent child in a monster we be corrected by the cross said the tests proposal by the infinite system of God if not the life would be a punishment and a condemnation for everyone everyone goes toward own sin life is a perpetual debauch but these victorious that are latching are our cross and we all need our cross e who sings super the impure and those who seem perverse every man will be the only arbiter at the end of his beanery life experience with inbound and outbound he will establish its perfect balance what is is own interest each man will do as the double-entry made by the accountants the foolproof system to determinate their own interests and then in the scientists eternal in Evin everyone will have done of their proper interests and of their needs they are powerful God the Evan will appear real one like this same ward the paradise will be this same award in which anyone will be whatever he wants to be the others like they were no more themselves but himself in this way if you love a pearson's that today does not love you in paradise you can be really that apparent enemy of today enemy because he was successful in that exact love you desired at one only condition today you have not to consider as enemy whom was successful because you in the new visitation of this same situation you can live your love in in sulfur only Trog this successful character of this man this is true in everything you can be successful only drove the successful character already decided by Providence this one is the theater the world the universe we can obtain x minus summation every part every character of those that we already well no we are not put in these situations in order to have another in paradise of our reality we can have the reality that today belongs to the others like for every actor there are a lot of characters that can become own ones the important is the winning because but only paradise where there is a wheel away our free will easy to define and choose our personal wielding is that of the free election of our personal God will be the God that will love | Romano Amodeo | UC-bkWbm3lS8lhoZzV6QtI0g | 2011-06-20 | Creative Commons

xMxDhoacdN0 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMxDhoacdN0 | Jesus in comparative mythology | Wikipedia audio article | the study of Jesus in comparative mythology as the examination of the narratives of the life of Jesus in the Christian Gospels traditions and theology as they relate to Christianity and other religions although virtually all New Testament scholars and historians of the ancient Near East agree that Jesus existed as a historical figure most secular historians also agree that the Gospels contain large quantities of a historical legendary details mixed in with historical information about Jesus's life the synoptic Gospels of Mark Matthew and Luke are heavily shaped by Jewish tradition with the Gospel of Matthew deliberately portraying Jesus as a new Moses although it is highly unlikely that the authors of the synoptic Gospels directly based any of their stories on pagan mythology it is possible that they may have subtly shaped their accounts of Jesus's healing miracles to resemble familiar Greek stories about miracles associated with Asclepius the god of healing and medicine the birth narratives of Matthew and Luke are usually seen by secular historians as legends designed to fulfill Jewish expectations about the Messiah the Gospel of John bears in direct influences from Platonism via earlier Jewish deuterocanonical texts and may also have been influenced in less obvious ways by the cult of Dionysus the Greek god of wine though this possibility is still disputed later Christian traditions about Jesus were probably influenced by greco-roman religion and mythology much of Jesus's traditional iconography is apparently derived from Mediterranean deities such as Hermes Asclepius Serapis and Zeus and his traditional birth date on the 25th of December which was not declared as such until the 5th century was at one point named a holiday in honor of the Roman Sun God Sol Invictus at around the same time Christianity was expanding in the 2nd and 3rd centuries the Mithraic cult was also flourishing though the relationship between the two religions are still under dispute Christian apologists at the time noted similarities between them which some scholars have taken as evidence of borrowing but which are more likely a result of shared cultural environment more general comparisons have also been made between the stories about Jesus's birth and resurrection and stories of other divine or heroic figures from across the Mediterranean world including supposed dying and rising gods such as Tammuz Adonis Addis and Osiris while the concept of dying and rising gods has received criticism topic legendary material in the Gospels topic synoptic Gospels virtually all New Testament scholars and historians of the ancient Near East applying the standard criteria of historical investigation agree that Jesus existed as a historical figure while some scholars have criticized Jesus scholarship for religious bias and lack of methodological soundness with very few exceptions such critics generally do support the historic city of Jesus and reject the Christ myth theory that Jesus never existed there is widespread disagreement among scholars about the accuracy of details of Jesus's life as it is described in the gospel narratives and on the meaning of his teachings and the only two events subject to almost universal assent are that Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist and that he was crucified under the orders of the Roman prefect Pontius Pilate it is also generally although not universally accepted that Jesus was a Galilean Jew who called disciples and whose activities were confined to Galilee and Judea that he had a controversy in the temple and that after his crucifixion his ministry was continued by a group of his disciples several of whom were persecuted nonetheless most secular scholars generally agree that the Gospels contain large amounts of material that is not historically accurate and has better categorized as legend in a discussion of genuinely legendary episodes from the Gospels theologian Bart Ehrman mentions the birth narratives in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke in the release of Barabbas he points out however that just because these stories are not true does not mean that Jesus himself did not exist according to theologians Paul our Eddy and Gregory a Boyd there is no evidence that the portrayal of Jesus in the synoptic Gospels the three earliest Gospels of Mark Matthew and Luke was directly influenced by pagan mythology in any significant way the earliest followers of Jesus were devout Palestinian Jews who have hoard paganism and would have therefore been extremely unlikely to model stories about their founder on pagan myths despite this several scholars have noticed that some of the healing miracles of Jesus recorded in the synoptic Gospels bear similarities to Greek stories of miracles associated with Asclepius the god of healing and medicine Brennan R Hill states that Jesus's miracles are for the most part clearly told in the context of the Jewish belief in the healing of Yahweh but notes that the authors of the synoptic Gospels may have subtly borrowed from Greek literary models he states that Jesus is healing miracles chiefly differ from those of Asclepius by the fact that Jesus's are attributed to a human being on earth whereas Asclepius miracles are performed by a distant God according to classical historians Emma J Edelstein and Ludwig Edelstein the most obvious difference between Jesus and Asclepius says that Jesus extended his healing to sinners and publicans whereas Asclepius as a God refused to heal those who were ritually impure and confined his healing solely to those who thought pure thoughts scholars disagree whether the parable of the rich man and Lazarus recorded in Luke chapter 16 verses 19 to 31 originates with Jesus or if it is a later Christian invention but the story bears strong resemblances to various folk tales told throughout the Near East it is however widely agreed that the portrayal of jesus in the gospels is deeply influenced by jewish tradition according to EP sanders a leading scholar on the historical jesus the synoptic gospels contain many episodes in which jesus' described actions clearly emulate those of the prophets in the hebrew bible sanders states that in some of these cases it is impossible to know for certain whether these parallels originated from the historical Jesus himself having deliberately imitated the Hebrew prophets or from later Christians inventing mythological stories in order to portray Jesus as one of them but in many other instances the parallels are clearly the work of the Gospel writers the author of the Gospel of Matthew in particular intentionally seeks to portray Jesus as a new Moses Matthew's account of Herod's attempt to kill the infant Jesus jesus's family's flight into egypt and their subsequent return to Judea as a mythical narrative based on the account of the Exodus in the Torah in the Gospel of Matthew Jesus delivers his first public Sermon on the mountain in imitation of the giving of the law of Moses atop Mount Sinai according to New Testament scholars GERD Thyssen and Annette Merce the teachings preserved in the Sermon are statements that Jesus himself really said on different occasions that were originally recorded without context but the author of the Gospel of Matthew compiled them into an organized lecture and invented context for them in order to fit his portrayal of Jesus is a new Moses according to Sanders the birth narratives in Matthew and Luke are the clearest examples of legends in the synoptic Gospels both accounts have Jesus born in Bethlehem in accordance with Jewish salvation history and both have him growing up in Nazareth but they present two completely different in irreconcilable explanations for how that happened the accounts of the Annunciation of Jesus's conception found in matthew chapter 1 verses 18 to 22 and Luke chapter 1 verses 26 to 38 are both modeled on the stories of the Annunciations of Ishmael Isaac and Samson in the Old Testament Matthew quotes from the Septuagint translation of Isaiah chapter 7 verse 14 to support his account of the virgin birth of Jesus the Hebrew text of this verse states the hold the young woman Calma is with child and about to bear a son and she will call him Immanuel the Septuagint however translates the Hebrew word alma which literally means young woman as the Greek word Parthenos Parthenos which means virgin most secular historians therefore generally see the two separate accounts of the virgin birth from the Gospels of Matthew and Luke as independent legendary inventions designed to fulfill the mistranslated passage from Isaiah Sanders clarifies that the birth narratives are an extreme case resulting from the authors of the Gospels lack of knowledge about Jesus's birth and childhood no other part of the Gospels relies so heavily on Old Testament parallels Sanders also notes that despite the clearly intentional parallels the striking differences between Jesus and the prophets of the Old Testament are also highly significant and the Gospels accounts of Jesus's life on the whole do not closely resemble the lives of any of the figures in the Hebrew Bible although Jesus's crucifixion is one of the few events in his life that virtually all scholars of all different backgrounds agree really happened historians of religion have also compared it to Greek and Roman stories in order to gain a better understanding of how non-christians would have perceived stories of Jesus's crucifixion the German historian of religion Martin Hengel notes that the Hellenized Syrian satirist Ellucian of Sam asada the Voltaire of antiquity in his comic dialogue Prometheus written in the second century AD about 200 years after Jesus describes the god Prometheus being fastened to two rocks in the Caucasus Mountains using all the terminology of a Roman crucifixion he is nailed through the hands in such a manner as to produce a most serviceable cross epic arrow Tito's hosts Taurus the gods Hermes and Hephaestus who performed the binding are shown as slaves whose brutal masters Zeus threatens with the same punishment if they weaken unlike the crucifixion of Jesus in the synoptic Gospels Lucien's crucifixion of Prometheus as a deliberate angry mockery of the gods intended to show Zeus as a cruel and capricious tyrant undeserving of praise or adoration this is the only instance from all of classical literature in which a God is apparently crucified and the fact that the Greeks and Romans could only conceive of a God being crucified as a form of malicious parody demonstrates the kind of horror with which they would have regarded Christian stories of Jesus's crucifixion American theologian Dennis R MacDonald has argued that the Gospel of Mark is in fact a Jewish retelling of the Odyssey with its ending derived from the Iliad that uses Jesus as its central character in the place of Odysseus according to MacDonald the Gospels are primarily intended to show Jesus as superior to Greek heroes and although Jesus himself was a real historical figure the Gospels should be read as works of historical fiction centered on a real protagonist not as accurate accounts of Jesus's life MacDonald's thesis that the Gospels are modeled on the Homeric epics has been met with intense skepticism in scholarly circles due to its almost complete reliance on extremely vague and subjective parallels other scholars state that his argument is also undermined by the fact that the Gospel of Mark never directly quotes from either of the Homeric epics and uses completely dissimilar language they may perkins also notes that many of the incidents in the Gospel of Mark that MacDonald claims are derived from the Odyssey have much closer parallels in the Old Testament mcDonald's argument in a misunderstood form has nonetheless become popular in non scholarly circles mostly on the Internet where it is used to support the Christ myth theory MacDonald himself rejects this interpretation as drastic topic Gospel of John the Gospel of John the latest of the four canonical Gospels was influenced by ideas from platonism the logos described in John's prologue as originally a concept from Greek philosophy devised by the pre-socratic philosopher Heraclitus and adapted to judaism by the jewish middle plate inist filo of alexandria however the author of the Gospel of John probably did not borrow the logos theology from platonic texts directly instead these sources probably influenced earlier Jewish deuterocanonical texts which John inherited and expanded his own logos theology from in platonic terminology logos was a universal force that represented the rationality and intelligibility of the world on the other hand as adapted into judaism logos becomes a mediating divine figure between God and man and mostly owed influence from wisdom literature and by the time it was transmitted into judaism seems to have retained the concept of the universality of the platonic logos Davies and Finkelstein write this primeval and universal wisdom had at God's command found itself a home on Mount Zion in Jerusalem this mediatorial figure which in its universality can be compared with the Platonic world soul or the stoic logos is here exclusively connected with Israel God's chosen people and with his sanctuary scholars have long suspected that the Gospel of John may have also been influenced by symbolism associated with the cult of Dionysus the Greek god of wine the issue of whether the Gospel of John was truly influenced by the cult of Dionysus is hotly disputed with reputable scholars passionately defending both sides of the argument Dionysus was one of the best-known Greek deities he was worshipped throughout most of the greco-roman world and his cult is attested in Palestine Asia Minor and Italy at the same time other scholars have argued that it is highly implausible that the devout Christian author of the Gospel of John would have deliberately incorporated Dionysian imagery into his account and instead argue that the symbolism of wine in the Gospel of John is much more likely to be based on the many references to wine found throughout the Old Testament in response to this objection proponents of Dionysian influence have argued that it is possible that the author of the Gospel of John may have used Dionysian imagery and effort to show Jesus's superior to Dionysus the first instance of possible Dionysian influences Jesus's miracle of turning water into wine at the marriage at Cana in John chapter 2 verses 1 to 11 the story bears some resemblance to a number of stories that were told about Dionysus Dionysus his close associations with wine or attested as early as the writings of Plato and the second century AD Greek geographer Paz Anya's describes a ritual in which Dionysus was said to fill empty barrels that had been left locked inside a temple overnight with wine in the Greek novel Luca pian cleitophon by Achilles tatius written in the 1st or 2nd century AD the herdsman takes Dionysus into his home and offers him a meal but can only offer him the same thing to drink as his oxen miraculously Dionysus turns the drink into wine the account of turning water into wine does not occur in any of the synoptic Gospels and is only found in the Gospel of John indicating that the author of the fourth gospel may have invented it a second occurrence of possible Dionysian influences the allegory found in John chapter 15 verses 1 to 17 in which Jesus declares himself to be the true vine a title reminiscent of Dionysus who is said to have discovered the first grapevine mark SW step has argued that the Gospel of John also contains parallels with The Bacchae a tragedy written by the Athenian playwright Euripides that was first performed in 405 BC and involves Dionysus as a central character in both works the central figure is portrayed as an incarnate deity who arrives in a country where he should be known and worshipped but because he is disguised as a mortal the deity is not recognized and is instead persecuted by the ruling party in the Gospel of John Jesus is portrayed as elusive intentionally making ambiguous statements to evade capture much like Dionysus in Euripides is back I in both works the deity is supported by a group of female followers both works and with the violent death of one of the central figures in John's Gospel it is Jesus himself but in the back I it is Dionysus as cousin and adversary Pentheus the king of Thebes STIB emphasized is that two accounts are also radically different but states that they share similar themes one of the most obvious differences is that in The Bacchae Dionysus has come to advocate a philosophy of wine and hedonism whereas Jesus in the Gospel of John has come to offer his followers salvation from sin Euripides portrays Dionysus as aggressive and violent whereas the Gospel of John shows Jesus is peaceful and full of mercy furthermore The Bacchae is set within an explicitly polytheistic world but the Gospel of John admits the existence of only two gods Jesus himself and his father in heaven topic infancy Gospel of Thomas the infancy Gospel of Thomas as a short apocryphal gospel probably written in the second century AD describing Jesus's childhood it is unique is the only purported account of Jesus's childhood to survive from early Christian times it describes a variety of miracles attributed to the young Jesus it remained continuously in popular use throughout the Middle Ages up until the time of the Reformation read our Asgard has argued that the infancy gospel may have been partially intended for children and discusses how the stories in the gospel fit the genre of greco-roman fairy tales jrc coos hland argues that the infancy gospel may have been originally written for a primarily pagan audience noting that the Greeks and Romans told stories about their God's miraculous doings as children and that miracle stories were often instrumental in converting pagans to Christianity topic syncretism Zinn Late Antiquity topic Mithra ism around the same time that Christianity was expanding the cult of the god Mithras was also spreading throughout the Roman Empire very little is known for certain about the Mithraic cult because it was a mystery cult meaning its members were forbidden from disclosing what the cult believed to outsiders no Mithraic sacred texts have survived if any such writings ever existed consequently it is disputed how much influence christianity and mithra ism may have had on each other Michael patellar states that the similarities between Christianity and mithra ISM are more likely a result of their shared cultural environment rather than direct borrowing from one to the other Christianity and mithra ISM were both of oriental origin and their practices and respective Saviour figures were both shaped by the social conditions in the Roman Empire during the time period most of what is known about the legendary life of Mithras comes from archaeological excavation of Metria underground Mithraic sanctuaries of worship which were found all across the Roman world like Jesus Mithras was seen as a divine Savior but unlike Jesus Mithras was not believed to have brought his salvation by suffering and dying Mithras was believed to have been born fully grown from a rock a belief which is confirmed by a vast number of surviving sculptures showing him rising from the rock nude except for a Phrygian cap clutching a sword in his right hand and a torch in his left in many depictions the rock is also encircled by a snake in Mithraic cults primarily from the Rhine Danube region there are also representations of a myth in which Mithras shoots an arrow at a rock face causing water to gush forth this myth is one of the closest parallels between Mithras and Jesus both Christians and myth rest's used water as a symbol for their respective saviors in the New Testament Jesus is referred to as the water of life and a votive altar to Mithras from poet ovo proclaims him as the Fonz perennis the ever flowing stream in the center of every myth reom was a Torah Tony a painting or sculpture showing Mithras as a young man usually wearing a cape and Phrygian cap plunging a knife into the neck or shoulder of a bull as he turns its head towards him simultaneously turning his own head away a dog laps up the blood pouring from the Bulls wound from which emerges an ear of horn as a scorpion stings the bull scrotum human torchbearers stand on either side of the scene when holding his torch upright and other upside down a serpent is also present the exact interpretation of this scene is unclear but the image certainly depicts a narrative central to Mithra ISM and the figures in it appeared to correspond to the signs of the zodiac the closest parallel between Jesus and Mithras is the use of a ritual meal after slaying the bull Mithras was believed to have shared the Bulls meat with the sun god sol invictus a meal which is shown in Mithraic iconography and which was ritually reenacted by meat rest's as part of their liturgy manfred kloss a scholar of the Mithraic cult speculates that the similarities between Christianity and mithra ISM may have made it easier for members of the Mithraic cult to convert to Christianity without having to give up their ritual meal Sun imagery candles incense or bells a trend which might explain why as late as the 6th century the Christian Church was still trying to stamp out the stole to homens who still paid obeisance to the Sun every morning on the steps of the church itself a few Christian apologists from the 2nd and 3rd centuries who had never been members of the Mithraic cult and had never spoken to its members claimed that the practices of the Mithraic cult were copied off Christianity the 2nd century Christian apologist Justin Martyr writes in his first apology after describing the Christian Eucharist that not the wicked Devils have imitated this in the mysteries of Mithras commanding the same thing to be done for that bread and a cup of water are placed with certain incantations in the mystic rites of one who is being initiated you either know or can learn the later apologist Tertullian writes in his Despres script in herre decorum the devil is the inspirer of the heretics whose work it is to pervert the truth who with idolatrous mysteries endeavours to imitate the realities of the Divine sacraments some he himself sprinkles as though in token of faith and loyalty he promises forgiveness of sins through baptism and if my memory does not fail me marks his own soldiers with the sign of Mithra on their foreheads commemorates an offering of bread introduces a mock resurrection and with the sword opens the way to the crown moreover has he not forbidden a second marriage to the supreme priest he maintains also his virgins and his Sullivans according to airman these writers were ideologically motivated to portray Christianity and mithra ISM as similar because they wanted to persuade pagan officials that Christianity was not so different from other religious traditions so that these officials would realize that there was no reason to single Christians out for persecution these apologists therefore intentionally exaggerated similarities between Christianity and mithra ISM to support their arguments scholars are generally wary of trusting anything these sources have to say about the Mithraic cults alleged practices topic iconography in late antiquity early Christians frequently adapted pagan iconography to suit Christian purposes this does not in any way indicate that Christianity itself was derived from paganism only that early Christians made use of the pre-existing symbols that were readily available in their society sometimes Christians deliberately used pagan iconography and conscious effort to show Jesus is superior to the pagan gods in classical iconography the god Hermes was sometimes shown as a cry of forest a handsome beardless youth bearing a ram or sheep over his shoulders in late antiquity this image developed a generic association with philanthropy early Christians adapted images of this kind as representations of Jesus in his role of Isla Good Shepherd early Christians also identified Jesus with the Greek hero Orpheus who is said to have tamed wild beasts with the music of his lyre the church Father clement of alexandria writes that Orpheus and Jesus are similar in that they have both been subject to admiration on account of their songs but insists that Orpheus misused his gift of eloquence by persuading people to worship idols in tie themselves to temporal things whereas Jesus the singer of the new song brings peace to men and frees them from the bonds of the flesh the later Christian historian Eusebius drawing on clement also compares Orpheus to Jesus for having both brought peace to men one unusual possible instance of identification between Jesus and Orpheus as a hematite gem inscribed with the image of a crucified man identified as Orpheus back chicos Orpheus bat chica's the gem has long been suspected to be a forgery created in the late 17th or early 18th century but if authentic it may date to the late 2nd or early 3rd century AD if authentic the gem would represent a remarkable instance of pagans adopting Christian iconography rather than vice-versa as is generally more common the gem was formerly housed at the Altes Museum in Berlin but was lost or destroyed during world war ii early christians found it hard to criticize Asclepius because while their usual tactics were to denounce the absurdity of believing in gods who were merely personifications of nature and to accuse pagan odds of being immoral neither of these could be applied to Asclepius who has never portrayed as a personification of nature and whose stories were inscrutably moral the early Christian apologist Justin Martyr argued that believing in Jesus divinity should not be hard for pagans since it was no different from believing in the divinity of Asclepius eventually Christians adapted much of the iconography of Asclepius to suit the miracles of Jesus images of Jesus as a healer replaced images of Asclepius and hypocrites as the ideal physician Jesus who was originally shown as clean-shaven may have first been shown as bearded as a result of this syncretism with Asclepius as well as other bearded deities such as Zeus and Serapis a second century AD head of Asclepius was discovered underneath the 4th century AD Christian Church in Gerasa Jordan in some depictions from Late Antiquity Jesus was shown with the halo of the Sun God Sol Invictus images of Christ in majesty seated upon a throne were inspired by classical depictions of Zeus and other chief deities by the 4th century AD the recognizable image of Jesus as long-haired bearded and clad in long baggy sleeved clothing had fully emerged this widespread adaptation of pagan iconography to suit Jesus did not sit well with many Christians a fragment of a lost work by Theodore Lecter preserves a miracle story dated to around for 65 ad in which the Bishop gennadius of Constantinople was said to have healed an artist who had lost all strength in his hand after painting an image of Christ showing him with long curly hair parted in the same manner as traditional representations of Zeus Christians also may have adapted the iconography of the Egyptian goddess Isis nursing her son Horus and applied it to the Virgin Mary nursing her son Jesus some Christians also may have conflated stories about the Egyptian god Osiris with the resurrection of Jesus the title of cosmic ray Terra's ruler of the cosmos which was eventually applied to Jesus had previously been born by Serapis the church father Jerome records in a letter dated to the Year 395 ad that Bethlehem belonging now to us was overshadowed by a grove of Tammuz that is to say adonis and in the cave where once the infant Christ cried the lover of Venus was lamented this same cave later became the site of the Church of the Nativity the church historian Eusebius however does not mention pagans having ever worshiped in the cave nor do any other early Christian writers Peter Welton has argued that the cave was never dedicated to Tammis and that jerome misinterpreted christian mourning over the massacre of the innocence as a pagan ritual over tamás's death Joni Taylor has countered this argument by arguing that Jerome as an educated man could not have been so naive as to mistake Christian mourning over the massacre of the innocence as a pagan ritual for Tammuz during the sixth century AD some Christians in the Middle East borrowed elements from poems of Tammuz his wife Ishtar mourning over her husband's death into their own retellings of the Virgin Mary mourning over the death of her son Jesus the Syrian writers Jacob of Sarah and Romano's the mellitus both wrote lament in which the Virgin Mary describes her compassion for her son at the foot of the cross in deeply personal terms closely resembling Ishtar's laments over the death of Tammuz topic birthdate the Bible never states when Jesus was born but by late antiquity Christians had begun celebrating his birth on the 25th of December in 274 AD the Roman Emperor Aurelian had declared the 25th of December the birth date of Sol Invictus a Sun God of Syrian origin whose cult had been vigorously promoted by the earlier Emperor Elagabalus Christians may have thought that they could attract more converts to Christianity by allowing them to continue to celebrate on the same day the 25th of December also falls around the same time as the Roman festival of Saturnalia which was much older and more widely celebrated many of the customs originally associated with Saturnalia eventually became associated with Christmas early Christians may have also been influenced by the idea that Jesus had died on the anniversary of his conception because Jesus died during Passover and in the 3rd century AD Passover was celebrated on the 25th of March they may have assumed that Jesus's birthday must have come nine months later on the 25th of December topic general comparisons aspects of jesus's life as recorded in the gospels bear some similarities to various other figures both historical and mythological proponents of the Christ myth theory frequently exaggerate these similarities as part of their efforts to claim that Jesus never existed as a historical figure Maurice Casey the late emeritus professor of New Testament languages and literature at the University of Nottingham writes that these parallels do not in any way indicate that Jesus was invented based on pagan divine men but rather that he was simply not as perfectly unique as many evangelical Christians frequently claimed he was topic miraculous birth classical mythology is filled with stories of miraculous births of various kinds but in most cases of divine offspring from classical mythology the father is a God who engages in literal sexual intercourse with the mother a mortal woman causing her to give birth to a son who has literally half god and half man a possible pagan precursor to the Christian story of the virgin birth of Jesus as an Athenian legend recounted by the mythographers pseudo-apollodorus according to this account to face just the God of blacksmiths once attempted to rape Athena the virgin goddess of wisdom but she pushed him away causing him to ejaculate on her thigh Athena wiped the semen off using a tuft of wool which she tossed into the dust impregnating Gaia and causing her to give birth to Aerith odious whom Athena adopted as her own child thus Athena was able to produce a son without her losing her virginity the Roman method refer Hyginus records a similar story in which Hephaestus demanded Zeus to let him marry Athena since he was the one who had smashed open Zeus's skull allowing Athena to be born Zeus agreed to this and Hephaestus and Athena were married but when Hephaestus was about to consummate the Union Athena vanished from the bridal bed causing him to ejaculate on the floor thus impregnating Gaia with Aerith Anya's another comparable story from Greek mythology describes the conception of the hero Perseus according to the myth Zeus came to Perseus his mother Danny in the form of a shower of gold and impregnated her although no surviving Greek text ever describes this as a virgin birth the early Christian apologist Justin Martyr has his Jewish speaker trifa refer to it as such in his dialogue with trifa scholars have also compared the story of the virgin birth to the complex narratives revolving around the birth of Dionysus in most versions of the conception of Dionysus Zeus was said to have come to the mortal woman Semele disguised as a mortal and had sex with her Zeus's wife Hera disguised herself as similes nurse and persuaded her to ask Zeus to show her his true divine form Zeus eventually agreed but upon revealing his divine form Semele was instantly incinerated by his lightning Zeus rescued the unborn infant Dionysus and sewed him inside his own thigh giving birth to him himself when it was time in an alternative version of the story told by the Roman method for high genus Dionysus was actually the son of Zeus and Persephone who was torn apart by the Titans Zeus rescued Dionysus his heart grounded up and mixed it into a potion which he gave to semele to drink causing her to become pregnant with the infant who had been killed according to M david lid wa the authors of the Gospels of Matthew and Luke consciously attempt to avoid portraying Jesus's conception as anything resembling pagan accounts of divine parentage the author of the Gospel of Luke tells a similar story about the conception of John the Baptist in effort to emphasize the Jewish character of Jesus's birth nonetheless lit Wei argues that the accounts are unconsciously influenced by pagan stories of divine men despite their author's efforts to avert this other stories of virgin births similar to Jesus's are referenced by later Christian writers the 3rd century AD Christian theologian Origen retells a legend that Plato's mother parrot Dion had virginal II conceived him after the god Apollo had appeared to her husband Ariston and told him not to consummate his marriage with his wife a scene closely paralleling the account of the Annunciation to Joseph from the Gospel of Matthew Origen interpreted this story and others like it as prefiguring the reality made manifest by Jesus's virginal conception in the 4th century the bishop Epiphanius of Salamis protested that in alexandria at the temple of kor Persephone the pagans enacted a hideous mockery of the christian epiphany in which they claimed that today at this hour cor that as the virgin has given birth to ayan topic archetypal folkloric hero folklorist Alan Dundas has argued that Jesus fits all but five of the 22 narrative patterns in the rank Raglan mytha type and therefore more closely matches the archetype than many of the heroes traditionally cited to support it such as Jason Valera Finn Pelops Asclepius Joseph Elijah and Siegfried Dundas sees Jesus as a historical miracle worker or religious teacher stories of whose life were told and retold through oral tradition so many times that they became legend Dundas states that analyzing Jesus in the context of folklore helps explain some of the anomalies of the Gospels such as the fact that none of them give any information about Jesus's childhood and adolescence which Dundas explains by the fact that this is precisely the case for almost all heroes of tradition other scholars have strongly criticized Dunn disease application of the rank Ragland myth the type to Jesus pointing out that Dundas draws the narrative patterns from different texts written centuries apart without taking care to differentiate between them Dunn disease application has also been criticized due to the rank Ragland mythic types artificial nature and its lack of specificity to Hellenistic culture nonetheless Lawrence M will states that the hero paradigm in some form does applied to the earliest lives of Jesus albeit not to the extreme extent that Dundas has argued topic dying and rising God archetype the late 19th century Scottish anthropologist Sir James George Frazer wrote extensively about the existence of a dying and rising god archetype in his monumental study of comparative religion the Golden Bough the first edition of which was published in 1890 as well as in later works Frasier's main intention was to prove that all religions were fundamentally the same and that all the essential features of Christianity could be found in earlier religions although Frazer himself did not explicitly claim that Jesus was a dying and rising god of the supposedly typical Near Eastern variety he strongly implied it Frasier's claims became widely influential in late 19th and early 20th century scholarship of religion but are now mostly rejected modern scholars the main examples of dying and rising gods discussed by Frazer were the Mesopotamian God do music Tammuz his Greek equivalent Adonis the Phrygian goddess and the Egyptian god Osiris do music Tammuz was a God of Sumerian origin associated with vegetation and fertility who eventually came to be worshiped across the Near East do music was associated with springtime agricultural fertility and when the crops withered during the hot summer months women would mourn over his death tamás's categorization is a dying and rising God was based on the abbreviated Akkadian redaction of anon his descent into the underworld which was missing the ending since numerous lamentations over the death of do music had already been translated scholars filled in the missing ending by assuming that the reason for Ishtar's descent was because she was going to resurrect doom use it and that the text could therefore be assumed to end with tamás's resurrection then in the middle of the 20th century the complete unabridged original Sumerian text of an honest descent was finally translated revealing that instead of ending with doom uses resurrection as had long been assumed the text actually ended with doom use its death the discovery of the return of doom use it in 1963 briefly revived hopes that doom as it might once again be able to be categorized as a dying and rising God but the text ultimately proved disappointing in this regard because it does not describe a triumph over death as would be necessary for a true phrase Aryan erection myth and instead is precisely the opposite and affirms the unalterable power of the realm of the dead by the fact that do music can only leave the underworld when his sister takes his place Fraser and others also saw Thomas's Greek equivalent Adonis is a dying and rising God despite the fact that he has never described as rising from the dead in any extant greco-roman writings and the only possible allusions to his supposed resurrection come from late highly ambiguous statements made by Christian authors antis has never described as being resurrected either although many myths surround his death none of them ever claim that he was resurrected Osiris was never truly resurrected either in Egyptian myth Osiris his brother set was said to have murdered him chopped his body into pieces and scattered them across the land Osiris is devoted wife Isis collected his dismembered limbs and reassembled them allowing her to revive Osiris in the duet the Egyptian afterlife where he became the king of the Dead in the late 20th century scholars began to severely criticize the designation of dying and rising god altogether in 1987 jonathan z smith concluded in Mircea Eliade e's encyclopedia of religion that the category of dying and rising gods once a major topic of scholarly investigation must now be understood to have been largely a misnomer based on imaginative reconstructions and exceedingly late or highly ambiguous texts he further argued that the deities previously referred to as dying and rising would be better termed separately as dying gods and disappearing gods asserting that before christianity the two categories were distinct in gods who died did not return and those who returned never truly died by the end of the 20th century most scholars had come to agree that the notion of a dying and rising god was an invention and that the term was not a useful scholarly designation topic see also Christian mythology esoteric Christianity secular theology topic notes topic references topic bibliography

j2FPFFyTJ3o | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2FPFFyTJ3o | eds lecture 12 2020 09 25 11 49 43 | this is the 12th in a series of lectures giving an introduction to exterior differential systems in the last lecture we discussed the characteristics of systems of partial differential equations in this lecture we want to discuss the characteristics of exterior differential systems when we think of them as systems of partial differential equations so let's give a definition of the characteristic variety of an exterior differential system and i'll leave the the student to investigate why this definition corresponds to the definition we wrote down in partial differential equations to prove the equivalence of these definitions is a problem in the lecture notes and the solution is given in the back in case you can't see how to get it to work out so let's start with an integral element e which is p dimensional an integral element of an exterior differential system i a hyperplane in e is said to be characteristic if it also lies in some other integral element e p prime not equal to ep so also p dimensional but not the same one so again this is this is this is a definition which is rather different from the definition we had last time for partial differential equations which was defined in terms of of looking at that wave momenta the characteristic variety here is the set of characteristic hyperplanes and i leave you to check that that corresponds to the notion for pdes now why would we be interested in this kind of a thing here's at least some motivation some intuition for how we can think about characteristics an integral element is supposed to be thought of as something like an infinitesimal integral manifold and similarly an in a characteristic hyperplane should be thought of as something like an infinitesimal characteristic hypersurface where a characteristic hypersurface means a hyperservice in an integral manifold all of whose tangent planes are characteristic so if we had a characteristic hypersurface we would expect that there might there would be two integral manifolds each of its tangent planes lies in two different integral elements at least so we'd expect that maybe it lies in two different integral manifolds again there's no rigor behind that but it gives us some sort of expectation some some intuition for what's happening here so that means that the characteristic hyper service could be thought of as a kind of a possible non-tangential intersection of integral manifolds it might be a non-tangential intersection of integral manifolds again no rigor but some intuitive sense that we have these two different integral manifolds slicing through one another non-tangentially if you cut them along or they along their intersection you could glue one to the other along that intersection creating a kind of crease along the along that along the integral manifold you'd produce an integral manifold that wasn't very smooth it had a sharp crease along it and that gives us some sense of what characteristics represent the possibility to crease integral manifolds or to produce another it's very very uh sharp singular folds in them so integral manifolds are more flexible they fold or bend more easily along the characteristic hypersurfaces and again that's just a rough intuition we don't have any theorem to prove a thing like that after all the to make sense out of that we might have to even go outside the world of of uh smooth integral manifolds and that seems to be something we're not maybe ready to do at the moment so um so this gives us anyway some feeling for what characteristics represent a kind of flexibility an ability to bend things in those uh along those hyper hypersurfaces now we can try to state the koshikov lev scar theorem as a theorem about exterior differential systems it rather than the pde version that we had before you'll recall we had two different pde versions uh in the in the last lecture we started with the koshikova-levska theorem stated for systems in koshi form and coordinates and we ended up ultimately describing the koshikovalevska theorem for systems where we didn't really need to have some coordinates uh defined instead we just talked about being determined about the determinacy of the equation of the system of partial differential equations so we'll have a deterministic criterion here as well an integral element of an exterior differential system so some eps of a system i is determined if it contains a non-characteristic hyperplane and the dimension of the space of p forms in the ideal i evaluated at the point m is the sum of the characters s naught up to s p minus 1 for m or for any point m of our manifold which lies near the point m naught where the integral element lives those characters s naught s one and so on up to s p minus one are calculated at the integral element e p at the point m naught but we want to have make sure that the p forms everywhere nearby have the same dimension at each in each cotangent space at each point m so that's the um the criterion for being determined and recall there was a similar criterion for pdes the pdes were determined if they had a non-characteristic hyperplane and if the symbol matrix was square so you can again you can check in coordinates that square symbol matrix corresponds exactly to this particular equation on the on the the p forms this uh this is something again i leave you to check and once again it's uh it's a problem in the lecture notes and the solution is as is given in the back of the notes so that's what we will call determinacy and it corresponds uh in in coordinates to determinacy of system of the system of partial differential equations for p dimensional integral manifolds so here's the koshikov-levska theorem written in this language we take a non-characteristic integral manifold so that means that it's each tangent plane is a non-characteristic hyperplane in an integral element and therefore a unique integral element now we suppose that every tangent space is a hyperplane and a determined integral element and then um we so determinancy being this condition we've written here about the sum of the uh the sum of the characters giving the dimension of the p forms then we can apply koshikov let's get there x is a hyper surface in an integral manifold so we can fatten it up from being p minus one dimensional to being a p dimensional integral manifold as long as we have this uh condition of being non-characteristicity and and determinacy we can fatten things up and the the integral manifold of dimension p is locally unique which means that any two of them will agree near enough to x so so this gives us a version of the koshikovsky theorem which which is described in the language of exterior differential systems and we can see that it's a little bit better than the koshikovsky theorem as stated when we stated originally in koshi form we had a somewhat somewhat weaker result in that in this in this situation this this non-characteristic integral manifold xp minus 1 might be very large in some sense it might not live in a single coordinate chart there's no use of coordinates here so we don't need to worry about whether or not there's a single coordinate chart which we can write x down and that means we we aren't really working out uh an equation in cauchy form but we're saying that if you pick a point of of of this of this integral manifold x you can find some coordinates in which this construction of the cynical manifold becomes a koshy problem in koshi form and then by uniqueness by the local uniqueness property you can glue those local solutions together to produce a global solution so this means that we can allow non-characteristic integral manifold x p minus 1 which is so huge that it doesn't fit in a single coordinate chart it's so complicated that it it's it's maybe too messy to write down in any kind of formula but in any coordinates but nevertheless we can ensure that it can be used as initial data for constructing a solution so this gives us a kind of result that's kind of somewhat global at least in the initial data the initial data manifold x is is allowed to be a global object it doesn't have to be described just in a little local coordinate chart so let's tie an example see if we can apply this to an actual problem so we're not using the carton kahler theorem now we're just using koshikovska theorem as i've stated it so we've got to try to see an example where we can construct using we can construct an integral manifold using only that koshikov-levska theorem let's look at triply orthogonal webs take a surface s in euclidean three-dimensional space and let's see if we can build a tripoli orthogonal web with initial data specified along that surface let's pick an orthonormal basis e1e2e3 at each point of s analytically varying as we move along s and we'll assume that these e1 e2 and e3 are defined only along the points of the service s they've at each point of the service s they form an orthonormal basis of euclidean three-dimensional space but the the basis um can vary it can vary analytically as we move along s and it's only defined such a base is only defined at the points of s and we'll assume that neither none of e1 e2 or e3 is is anywhere tangent to s okay at any point so there's no point of s at which any one of those three vectors becomes tangent so given such an orthonormal system along s we want to claim there is a triple orthogonal web defined near s whose leaves are perpendicular to e1 e2 and e3 along s so we can use e1 e2 and e3 as initial data to be to represent the normals of of the leaves of this triple orthogonal web and any two such triple orthogonal webs agree near s so there's an existence and uniqueness result again this is different from what we proved previously about triply orthogonal webs because what we did previously was just to show that there exists a large collection of triply orthogonal webs that they depend on so many functions of so many variables in this case we're actually able to write down those functions those are the components of this of this orthonormal e1 e2e3 and they're functions of two variables the the two variables are being the the coordinates on s local coordinates on s so we're doing much better here we can not only prove the existence of large collections of typically orthogonal webs but we can see that the initial data we get to specify can be defined all the way along a surface s and the service could be very large it doesn't have to be bounded it could be any surface whatsoever so that's uh that's really a a more global result in the sense it's global along s we closely construct with global initial data to find along s but it's it's not it's not global across s it only uh it only produces a triple orthogonal web in some little thickening of s into a three-dimensional open set uh near s it does it's it's global along as where the initial data is specified but it's not global across s because it only produces a little tiny neighborhood of s maybe in which the triply orthogonal web is defined okay so we want to prove this result and we want to show this actually falls out from the koshikovalevsky theorem as we stated it let's see the proof we won't give all the details again there the details are done and more carefully in the lecture notes but we can recall that we did look at tribute orthogonal webs before and we computed out the integral elements the integral elements were given by the connection forms the gamma ijs were certain multiples these pijs of the soldering forms the omega eyes every integral element was uniquely specified by the values of these p constants these pijs so if you have two integral elements you want to see whether or not they they contain a common hypersurface these inner gloves are three-dimensional and we want to know whether or not it's possible for two of them to intersect on a hyper surface and a hyperplane in other words into an intersecting a plane so if we had two such let's write one of them as gamma as p omega where i mean by that of course the gamma ijs are the p i j omega as as in the as in the matrix that you can see there um so if gamma is p omega and another integral element is gamma is p plus q omega so then we could ask whether or not those three dimensional subspaces those three dimensional integral elements of our system happen to contain a two plane in common and that's just a question of linear algebra you can calculate out that those two have a two plane in common if and only if q vanishes along a plane that contains a coordinate axis i'll leave you to check that to work that out in detail so the characteristic variety consists of those those hyperplanes in an integral element which contain a coordinate axis in other words the hyperplanes which have psi one is zero or psi2 is zero or psi three is zero as their components and so what we're what we're looking for are characteristic characteristic hyperplanes and as long as we have e1 e2 and e3 not tangent to s this can't happen these these things can't occur there are no characteristic hyperplanes so i'll leave you to check all the linear algebra and convince yourself that that's the that's the condition we check but it's it's fairly easy at least to see that this is a linear algebra problem and it isn't particularly difficult to compute out the conditions under which these things these things are characteristics and so putting it all together we have a kosokovlevska theorem for exterior differential systems which is somewhat nicer than the koshikovska theorem in koshi form we started with it applies to a variety of different problems and what's really striking about it is it allows global initial data in that triple orthogonal web problem we picked a surface and we could pick a very very complicated surface and we don't have to have it be a service where we know how to write down some kind of local coordinate description but we only get local solutions near that initial data so we specify some initial data globally but if it only constructs local solutions when we get local solvability okay so next time we're going to try to prove the koshikov or the the cartoon kaler theorem uh using this kosher kovalevsky theorem and uh we'll we'll see then that we can get a much stronger result in the koshikovsky theorem and we can also use this variant of the koshikovsky theorem to allow ourselves to construct solutions in cartoon kaler using some non-characteristic initial data that might also be global initial data producing local solutions |

X8zBtKPOsz0 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8zBtKPOsz0 | FORMALIZED APPROACH TO SPATIAL ARCHAEOLOGY USING ALGORITHMIC MODELLING | [Music] i would like to present to you a formalized approach uh to uh establish the archaeological theoretical framework the spatial archaeology and which which enabled us to to extract new archaeological information from evidence on settlement data so just a short line out i will first talk about the data and the motivation why we started to do this research uh some something on what space what i understand or when i talk about spatial archaeology what it is then i talk about space as a chronological marker how we can use space to tell us something about the time about the modeling itself the algorithmic modeling and then a brief look at the results and the possible interpretation so first our data i worked or we worked with the data mostly from field walking which took place over a period of 20 years by the archaeological institute of the czech academy of science and covered more than 1 000 square kilometers 8294 hectare squares were walked and produced uh almost 50 000 pieces of pottery um this data was further filtered because we are only interested for now in the agricultural praise story so from the linear pottery culture to the migration period and uh also sometime at some point in the process we edit data from excavations to to enrich i will explain why shortly so we were working with 3669 hectare squares actually containing fines not not counting the ones with negative fines so to give you like a idea about that this is just part part of the data set uh the largest one uh on the left you see uh data from uh from field walking uh you see it's uh it's quite quite densely covered it's about 600 square kilometers and this was then further enriched with excavation data uh because the exploration data provides us more more precise dating so this is uh zoomed in view and you can see that the triangles they are data from from excavations uh they're not marrying and or they're scattered because of course the nature of uh the installations how they take place uh and then then we have data from surface survey and you see only only some of the points are more more precisely dated so mostly it's uh this is a time slice from the early bronze age most of the data is just dated like uh prehistory so it's a non-diagnostic uh but but we have good spatial coverage and we were wondering since the people at the institute were doing so much work to collect all those data if we can do something meaningful and what we wanted to to see was where the actual settlements were and that's that's where or the settlement course uh that's where spatial archaeology comes into play so okay we wanted to reconstruct the prehistoric settlement landscape or where the sites were the theory of community areas formulated by fgnu stupani says that human occupation of the landscape is structured into settlement areas which uh which are to a degree predictable so we have a habitation area so where the houses are surrounded by areas of different activities uh out of which for us mostly the agricultural activities are interested dagmar dressler further elaborated on that and based on different sources of evidence archaeological and ethnographical [Music] specified limits for for this [Music] agriculture or production area around the the settlement how how large it should be and that's that's our starting point so we know that some of those those areas covered in archaeological field that they most probably are not just one settlement which which was very very large we know that there's the course somewhere there's the production areas somewhere there and that that they somehow developed in time that it didn't just happen in in one one point in prehistory so we we use this uh this model this algorithmic model which i will show you shortly to assign the observed evidence of residential activities which is the shirts you find in the field to to habitation areas and then model the production areas around them and to model it so to assign them to the phases so that that those uh settlement cores do not overlap so because they they would they need to respect each other so and then on this such such a such the model created in this way we analyzed using uh errors autistic analysis approach which involves creating a sufficient amount of statistically relevant sample of possible scenarios and which you can then express in a probabilistic way um so an example so let's say we have uh some settlement evidence distributed in hectare squares and uh let's say we found some some uh some uh evidence of settlement and debating suggests that it's just one phase let's say it's early bronze age but uh we we can what we can do is model the production areas around those habitation areas so we do that and we see that the production areas overlap so it's an indication that they cannot be contemporary according to our theory so uh that's a that's a chronological marker so we can we can construct possible scenarios where those areas don't do not over our life so there's one scenario another one another one so that that would mean it's uh it actually there has to be at least three settlement phases but uh we can further reduce this result because it we need we are looking for the most simple explanation so we can just reduce it to those two scenarios which which sufficiently describe our observation in light of the theory and we see that there were minima a minimum of two settlement phases so using this approach and thanks to the metacentral which is a great computing center which is available for free to all the academic institutions in czech republic we are able to calculate this model for the whole area and to create sufficient number of solutions of spacing you can see the different solution for for just one phase cycling so of course we do not know the sequence in which those phases were happening but we know the number of the phases and we can explore this solution space in a probabilistic way so you see the expression of this many many scenarios in one probabilistic distribution map so uh one one thing uh we tried we were able to extract from the result is uh the the stability so so so it's suddenly we saw in the in the data in those large areas we saw something like course where the settlement would always return so it's uh we were able to calculate a habitation stability index based on the ratio of observation of settlement in a square and how how likely it would appear in the next or the previous phase and we see that started starting with the early bronze age there was an increased stability of settlement patterns so we have something like uh like central uh sites in the landscape which which uh over prevailed for for hundreds of hundreds of years and that's that's something that that we suspected before but it was never formally uh tested or or expressed in a in a formal way or data uh supportive um here you can see the the this is the original data so scattered evidence and here here is uh you can see those hotspots of settlement activity in the in the landscape the second result or another another of results we were able to achieve was to finally observe the those spatial patterns so how how did the settlement behave how did it develop over time and uh we used a correlation function which is a function to to express a spatial clustering of data to to analyze the the different solutions and to quantify the degree of spatial organization so we can tell whether the settlement clusters a different uh radii or or uh size levels and we see a higher order uh social organization appearing in the early bronze age and there seems to be a fluctuation of this so so there's there's a peak of uh of uh how the how the settlement was organized into groups on different levels uh in uh in like uh i think i think it's a latte or like early iron age or late iron age but this this organization declines actually so even though we we have uh uh this is the amount amount of settlements we see over time and you see the amount fluctuates but also also the the degree of organization so here we see it's the pair correlation coefficient uh shown for for uh linear quarter culture it's it's within the random random limits and here in the half step age in the early iron age we see peaks of clustering around one kilometer and three kilometers they were they were forming uh structures at a different uh like micro regeneral sub regional levels uh that's and that's an inter at but we then we see again a decline in the roman period so it is actually as if the society was in one aspect regressing um that's a that's an ah at least in my opinion an interesting find we were able to achieve uh using algorithmic modeling so i would say it's a useful tool and now we have we have the the computational capacities at our disposal to to apply it and hopefully we will be able to work more with it in the future uh we are able to to achieve a more detailed phase phasing of the of the data which we had available even though of course we were we do not know the order of the phases but if we use the proper probabilistic techniques we can we can analyze analyze this data on a more more detailed level and in the future we plan to to enhance our model by maybe economical or even ecological aspects uh there can be environmental models included probably we should we should discriminate between different or between different uh technological abilities of of the population in different times so people use different strategies in the linear potential culture analytic than in the bronze age or the roman era and also also we had to kind of close one eye when or or assume that all of the evidence we gathered was uh settlement evidence even though we know that there must have been some burial grounds in the data um but okay we assume that on a large enough scale a cemetery indicates that there must have been a settlement some somewhere in the vicinity but i think it could be uh it could be approached and that we could we could work this into our model so that's it thank you you | European Association of Archaeologists | UCDIWHHoH3kKEJJdFGjJ_KVg | 2020-11-15 | Creative Commons

89yW3s4t1JY | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89yW3s4t1JY | Scaling to the Challenge: Corporate Procurement of Renewable Energy | Peter Freed | Energy Seminar | i'm the uh head of energy strategy at facebook uh also stanford alum so super excited to be doing this um i'm coming to you from my seven-year-old's bedroom which is also our home office hopefully we won't have any visitors today but i think everybody has uh been doing this long enough that uh that they know what to expect and um i was saying earlier if i need tech support um she's she's probably the best at using zoom in our household so uh maybe we'll we'll see her the first thing i wanted to say is that uh in spite of the fact that i signed up to do this in a lecture format i am not actually the biggest fan of lecturing uh although i'm prepared to speak uninterrupted for the duration um that said uh use that q a box i will do my best to keep an eye on it um and happy to have this be an interactive presentation or at least as interactive as we can be not being together um and you know on that note i hope that everybody out there is is staying healthy and safe um with everything going on and you know i'm certainly looking forward to a chance at some point in the future when i can meet a lot of you in person um so that said let me tell you a little bit about what i'd like to talk about today you know when when tran approached me and said hey let's talk about corporate procurement um you know that's something that i do day in day out i'm very excited to talk about it and i thought there were a couple of different things that might be interesting to all of you um the first is i'll just tell you a little bit about the facebook energy team kind of where we sit in the company and what we do um and then next we'll zoom out and talk like why do companies care about renewables why do they purchase renewables how long have they been doing it what does that look like and we'll talk a little bit about sort of what the current landscape of corporate procurement currently looks like and then from there uh we can move in and talk specifically about facebook's energy team and our energy program sort of what our energy story has been what we're doing how we do it um and we'll spend a little bit of time talking about the landscape of what comes next uh many companies are getting close or have met some of the first big goals that they've set and from that point um you know we can really think about what comes next and how do we think about it um and then at the very end because i know there are students on um trinidad asked that that maybe i spent a couple of minutes just talking about how i got to the job that i have now um so i'm gonna leave that to the end but i'll spend a couple of minutes talking um talking through some of that for you know anybody that uh might be interested in and that sort of thing so um with that uh i'm gonna go ahead and move forward uh into some of the material um so facebook small social media company you might have heard of us uh you know three point something billion people use one of uh one of our products every month um the mission of the company is to give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together and uh if you've ever used one of our products you know that that means everything from text to photos to video to three-dimensional video to ar to vr to all of this different stuff and um ultimately uh it takes a lot of computers to run facebook um and as it turns out those those computers are housed inside of something called a data center and data centers use by and large the the most significant amount of energy within facebook's global portfolio of of uh sites and operations and so the facebook energy team sits inside of our data center team so let me start by telling you a little bit more about some of that so um data center support facebook's mission we have four main apps that we call the facebook family of apps that's facebook messenger instagram facebook the main the big blue app uh that many of you are probably familiar with and whatsapp uh and as you know as i just said we've got almost three billion people or maybe just over three billion people now that use those apps uh at least once a month which is just you know a staggering number of people and it takes a huge amount of commuting computing power to do that we have a fleet of data centers that are located all over the world um this is a map of sort of where those locations are as you can see we've got a number of them that are still under construction even the ones that are operating are mostly under construction uh we tend to be a little bit uh more heavily represented by u.s deployments got a few in western europe and then that singapore facility which is really an amazing facility um a multi-story data center design which is which is super cool um and we uh i've been at the company for about six years which in facebook years is just like an absolute dinosaur um and i've seen almost all of these sites actually get rolled out uh and we just continue to add more and more data center capacity so a large and growing portfolio of data center sites around the world maybe also worth noting not a lot of companies put this information out there so there are a bunch of other companies other tech companies and other types of companies that have data centers it's usually a pretty you know sort of semi-guarded closely guarded secret of where those data centers tend to be um facebook is very out there with this information every data center has its own facebook page and a lot of this information is available on our website which i'll share some of some information about where you can find more information on our renewable energy projects but also data center information as well so data centers themselves what are they uh their warehouse is full of computers but that's that's a little bit of an understatement um they're very cool if you're into that sort of nerdy stuff like every time i go to a data center it's like this is like i'm standing in the future this is amazing um and i also like to say that they're they're really attractive buildings and sites um many data centers that aren't ours are kind of hidden away tucked behind berms they're hard to see ours ours are you know really industry-leading design um they uh they've got nice facades they've got nice landscaping and they're gigantic i mean we are talking millions of square feet of real estate um it's a little bit hard to see but in in the bottom right there's a rendering of a data center building and sort of off to the side there you can see it's kind of a square with some white squares on it that's a substation um and an electrical substation for those of you that um you know may not be in the the deepest weeds of of the energy world uh is how we interconnect uh our data centers to the grid how we plug them in and they're big these things use a lot of energy um and so we're really concerned with making sure that uh we're being responsible in the way that we use energy so these are just a couple of different pictures of sort of data centers and the life cycle of data centers um and uh you know everything from the facade through to construction another thing that i just wanted to hit on you we've got a whole bunch of different slides about the data center portfolio and what we do um one of the ones that always resonates to me because i've been very involved with with many of our site selection efforts and figuring out where to put data centers is that we think about citing a data center in a community as entering into a long-term relationship with that community and we're deeply committed to playing these very positive roles in our data center communities we work to support stem education which i know probably with this audience is something that people care passionately about and certainly those of us in the technical parts of of facebook care about that as well we offer grants to local communities around education and other community benefits and and all of our data center staff do a lot of volunteering locally so it's something that um i always just kind of highlight because uh you know you think about a data center and it's a warehouse full of computers like what but really um getting our employees out there into the community um and being a good uh partner long term with those communities is something that's really important to us so that gives you a little bit of a sense for kind of what what the data centers do um and so the the energy team with facebook sits inside of the data center team and uh the reason for that is that we've got a couple of high level objectives so the first is we have to plug these things in and make sure the lights get turned on um and that's you know that that takes a mix of things but uh it's it's an important part of our jobs um gotta make sure those lights stay on so reliability is really important um and then we need to make sure that we're serving them from an energy perspective cost effectively and that it meets all of our sustainability uh goals and objectives so serving them as cleanly as possible um so that's that's really sort of the key pillars of the team's focus and the energy team is broken down uh into three main groups of people um the first is uh the team that i lead which is sort of a commercial regulatory market design kind of group we do all of our utility relationships uh around around the country we're involved in regulatory proceedings related to our rates and then making sure that markets are functioning the way that we need them to function to serve renewable energy to our facilities in a cost-effective way um we've got another team that does program management and the program management team kind of serves as the uh the bridge between teams at local utilities and internal facebook teams that share similar functions that are responsible for working together to make sure that that will plug the thing in and turn the lights on work so maybe a design team working with the design team or electrical engineers working with their electrical engineers um turns out there's it's a very complex process to energize a significant uh load like a data center and so we we have a whole team that works just on the program management there and it's it's a really vital function and then we've got a team that does um just renewable procurements so uh they go out and they learn they look to contract with renewable energy projects around the country um and we'll talk a little bit more about how we do that later all of that said all of these folks everybody on the energy team there's 20 something of us now um touch renewable energy projects in some way um and and for a lot of people on the team it's one of the main reasons why they came to facebook was to to work on projects in that way um and i think a lot of the folks on the team here have a diversity of backgrounds in the energy market but a lot of interesting depth of experience um which is really necessary given you know you saw that map earlier the geographic spread uh of of uh facebook data centers it becomes important to have people with with the diversity of experience so that's uh that's a little bit more just on the team and kind of where we sit in the company so look big question why do companies do this why do they care and i think it's actually evolved a bit over time probably if you look back in history maybe 10 years a little bit more than 10 years ago that was kind of when you saw the earliest inklings of uh companies beginning to focus on renewable energy renewable energy projects um walmart was one of the very first i think all the way back in like 2005. facebook was an early company as well um and sometimes it was driven by pressure from the environmental community you know greenpeace has been very effective and getting people to care about this sometimes it was really part of the corporate dna you know whether it was um you know like a patagonia or something like that where there was a strong brand value and sometimes a founder a charismatic founder would care about it but it it began largely as an environmental concern and i think over time what's happened is that you had these you know sort of niche voluntary commitments becoming something that is definitely not niche anymore there is an increasing expectation from our customers and our stakeholders that will set aggressive renewable energy targets it's it almost becomes we'd like to say table stakes like it's just the thing that you have to do um and also interestingly what started really is something driven by corporations um and we're certainly talking mostly about companies today has also been taken up by universities like stanford and cities um and certainly states as well though you get into sort of bigger policy drivers there um and a variety of other large non-residential buyers who are trying to do this in increasingly large numbers and it's been really interesting to watch the evolution of procurement of renewable energy through that time and i think one of the things that has been part of that evolution is that what really began as an environmental issue is not an environmental issue by itself anymore so while the environment still certainly matters i think what a lot of buyers are finding increasingly in many parts of the country is that renewable energy turns out to be the most cost effective option for serving facilities in those locations and when we start to think about that it becomes very interesting to think about the equation and sort of the nexus for um adding renewables on to the grid and why companies might be interested in adding renewables onto the grid and as we add more and more then we start to have to grapple with other more interesting issues as well around what happens if you get a lot of renewable energy onto the grid how do you start balancing it if the sun doesn't shine all the time and the wind doesn't blow all the time um and uh it it is an interesting problem for us to begin to work on so companies have been doing this there's been an evolution of what companies have done um but from now that we know why or a little bit of the why um we can talk about the what and what companies have been doing um the next couple of slides i have stolen borrowed they gave me permission don't worry uh from a wonderful organization that i'm very very proud to sit on the board of called the renewable energy buyers alliance reba is just a a fantastic group that's been around in some form or another um gosh for five or six years now um maybe a little bit longer than that and it started off as sort of four independent uh loosely joined activities of uh four independent ngos and about two years ago those ngos essentially gave up their programs to to stand up a new trade organization focused on bringing more corporate buyers uh into the fold of renewable energy buyers um and it's just it's a great group every year they do a couple of really wonderful meetings obviously given everything going on in the world this year they're doing um a virtual meeting uh and and at the beginning of many of those virtual meetings they do what they call a state of the market so like what are companies doing in procurement of renewable energy so i i stole a couple of slides from them about that because i think it's in before we zoom into what facebook specifically is doing i think it's really interesting to see sort of where corporate procurement has gone through time so um i picked a couple of the slides that i find most interesting um certainly if uh if you're interested in this stuff go check out the reba website i think it's rebuyers.org you can find a bunch more materials you can find webinars and all sorts of really interesting stuff more generally um so the first one is let's just talk about deals like this is one of the big things like how many deals are people doing um the blow away statistic on this slide from my perspective is that 26 gigawatts over 10 years i mean this is these are very very meaningfully large numbers corporations have driven 26 gigawatts of renewable energy onto the grid over 10 years this is not a niche requirement as i'm fond of saying to policy makers um this is really something that has the potential to change the way renewable energy is bought and sold in the country and indeed has changed the way renewable energy is bought and sold in the country um 2019 was an absolute banner year uh 9.3 gigawatts it's really incredible 2020 um off to a bit of a slow start although they gave me all kinds of provisos around you know first of all uh there's some cyclicality from a month-to-month basis which i'll show you in a minute about how renewables are contracted so it wouldn't be at all surprising to see more renewables coming on later in the year i think also we've got a num there's a number of projects where uh the folks at riba know that those projects have been signed but they're in some sort of regulatory proceeding or something like that and they haven't been disclosed um so all of which is to say 1.76 not the biggest number on the chart but still a long way to go in 2020 in spite of the circumstances that we're all in i think i think we will see a number of projects continue um to move forward um slightly different view on that this is sort of the quarter by quarter view um and uh one of the things that's that's really interesting so the 26 15 have been in the last two calendar years and um i think that one of the things that this chart this chart shows is that you've got some interesting you know sort of quarter by quarter variation where you see these these interesting jumps as folks get towards the end of the year and i see actually there's a question that just came in um around some of these bumps uh that you see that was on the annual one but basically most of a lot of this is driven by deadlines associated with uh tax credits for renewable energy projects so um i'm not going to get too deep into the weeds on this but but in the u.s there are federal tax incentives for renewable energy projects or something called the production tax credit which is typically used with wind projects and something called the investment tax credit which is typically used with solar projects and those tax credits have expiration deadlines on them and there's been this cycle of uh the credits expiring and then congress renewing them and the credits expiring and congress renewing them and there is some uncertainty around uh around whether or not the credit would be renewed and so what what we have tended to see through time is that there's this rush a fire sale uh to get to get projects contracted before the credit expiration and so um you know i think i think that you what you end up seeing is that uh because of this sort of cyclical nature of the approvals and the expirations you get these bumps of project development and and also similarly through the year a lot of this outside of sort of 2019 the reason that you're seeing these like climbs through quarters is that that people are trying to get things in before the end of the year for uh for tax credit deadlines um so what about the folks buying them um the the the piece of this chart that interests me the most is the black line of course how many buyers do we have doing this um a hundred companies have transacted in the utility scale solar market i mean this is this is it's a big number um and yet at the same time you think about 26 gigawatts and it's only 100 companies so there's a there's a part of me because i've been doing this for 15 years or whatever it is that um that i'm i'm thrilled to see a hundred companies buying renewable energy um because you know that it's a number that seems massive compared to where we were back in 2008 um on the other hand uh a hundred companies isn't that many and it's not that many for 26 gigawatts and one of the things that um you know i personally believe is that if we want to see the rapid decarbonization of the electricity system we will need thousands of companies transacting and buying renewable energy and we'll talk about this a little bit more towards the end but but again this is more of a personal view just based on experience of facebook and elsewhere is that i think that that's going to be very challenging if those companies are trying to transact on that bilaterally so we'll talk a little bit more about the ways companies purchase renewable energy but most of the ways that companies buy it is from somebody else on sort of a one-to-one basis so you sign a contract with someone you buy it that way there's some complexity involved in it and it's difficult to imagine that uh it's difficult to imagine that you're gonna get thousands of companies um transacting renewable energy and yet i think getting thousands of companies transacting on renewable energy is ultimately where we need to be to see the electricity system decarbonize rapidly so for those of you that are interested in technology i'm sure we've we've certainly got uh some of those um out there the thing that is so interesting to me here is the inversion of the relationship between volume of solar and volume of wind so if you had asked me six years ago um if facebook would be signing solar contracts in some of the places where we've signed solar contracts uh virginia being an interesting example i would have been like no way the the resource isn't good enough um you know the the it'll be too expensive and really what we found is that the cost of solar has declined so rapidly that you are starting to see more and more people uh doing solar projects and indeed um at least from a corporate procurement perspective solar surpassed wind um in 2019 which i think is really interesting um and so uh [Music] and so to me this this signals a significant change um there there are also some features of solar projects that are appealing to people um from the perspective of stability of generation um and so i think uh the move to solar is is an interesting story i'll be very curious to see what the 2020 numbers look like to see if we're seeing uh this same relationship um but if you you know if you kind of go back to 2014 where almost no solar was contracted and a meaningful number of wind was then you look at where we are today um it's really a significant uh a significant change um i've seen a bunch of questions coming which is fantastic uh there's a couple that i'll try to hit on i see someone talking about some of the barriers for small companies uh and and what does it take to get uh small companies into the mix it's a super question we're gonna talk a little bit more about you know sort of the way renewable energy is bought and sold um but the short story is that um it it is difficult for uh for small companies to deal with the complexity of transacting bilaterally so you know the contracts that we use to buy renewable energy these days they're complicated um you know we've got an energy team with with 20 something people on it that do this a lot of smaller companies it's maybe half of someone's time if they're lucky maybe they're not an energy person maybe they manage a whole bunch of different facilities so um complexity is really a big part of it and one of the things that reba's super focused on is trying to figure out how to bring those small and medium-sized buyers into the marketplace um i think uh the question alludes a little bit to aggregation and maybe that aggregation is is one way to approach it it may also be that you know ultimately the direction that we end up going is trying to figure out ways where it's a much simpler system where you know you just end up on a green rate um and you don't really do any negotiating at all it meets your criteria for stringency and for quality and then you're just on a green rate and you kind of don't have to think about it um so definitely a great question and one that um that we continue to focus on um so uh moving through a little bit more of the slides on the corporate procurement landscape i also find this slide really interesting you know where are companies signing deals so some of the folks on the phone may in the back of their head have some of those great maps that like nrel generates of the the solar resources and the wind resources available in in the country um and you know definitely you look at texas and oklahoma and you're like alright well some of the best wind resources in the united states um it also so happens that they're very easy markets to transact in um they've got robust wholesale markets there's a lot of liquidity so those kind of make sense um north carolina and virginia are fascinating ones there were some incentives in north carolina many years ago that encouraged the development of a lot of small solar projects and even after those incentives uh expired what you saw was a robust network of developers on the ground there that were able to continue to put in projects um so i think i think that's really interesting virginia there's a lot of data center capacity in virginia so a lot of folks do projects there we've done a lot of projects in virginia um some of these gray states with with no deals in them um are are also pretty interesting a lot of them don't have a a wholesale market operating behind them um which can make it much harder for companies to transact we find that in parts of the west we find that in parts of the southeast um some of them may not have uh you know sort of the physical infrastructure required to interconnect renewable energy projects and then some of them just don't have the renewable energy resources so the wind doesn't blow strongly enough or the sun doesn't shine brightly enough um to support it but uh you know you can see texas is just way out there a lot of companies have done transactions in texas including facebook yeah here's another interesting one just talking about how where the renewables are located relative to the corporate facility so there's a lot of different views on that and to some extent it depends a little bit on a little bit on the company so from facebook's perspective we have always prioritized citing signing contracts with renewable energy projects which are located in the same grid region as our data centers it's one of our sort of philosophical principles of doing renewable energy projects is important to us to make sure that the renewables are um adding value to the grid and the places where we're taking energy off of the grid um for some companies that's not possible uh so if you if you have a bunch of small disaggregated locations but you're transacting with a large say wind farm you're going to aggregate the load across many jurisdictions many locations and then transact one project to essentially offset the balance with that load um so you've got a pretty wide range of things that companies do in order to meet their renewable energy objectives and you know i always think of sort of a spectrum along which a company can move and really that spectrum starts with kind of they don't have a lot of resources they want to do something and they do the minimum of what they can do and then moving along all the way up to where you kind of get up to the facebook stage where you know we we're contracting with dozens of projects we've got uh dedicated rates with utilities and all sorts of stuff um and we're really focused on that that geographic element it's been a part that's been important to us the whole time but you see a pretty wide range of things that the companies are doing out there let's now zoom back in so we zoomed out and started talking about corporate renewables and um and what what bats look like uh around the country and now you know let's let's zoom in a little bit and talk about what facebook has done and what what facebook uh is doing so um this is in one slide facebook's renewable energy journey 2011 um we became one of the first companies to make a commitment about uh about meeting a renewable energy goal um we set a 25 goal then but but maybe more importantly uh we set a 100 renewable energy goal without a time limit on it so all the way back in 2011 we're like hey someday we want to get to 100 renewable energy we don't know when we're going to do it we're going to do our best but but that's where we're headed um in 2018 we set uh we met the second goal which we had set which was 50 and we committed to hitting 100 renewable energy in 2020 um and uh without without saying definitively that we're going to do that we're absolutely moving in the right direction we feel pretty confident that we're going to be able to do that um and also important to note we've been talking about data centers some of facebook's original goals we're focused on data centers but our 100 renewable energy goal in 2020 is for all of our global operations so um by uh by the end of this year 100 of facebook global operations will be will be supported by renewable energy 2019 we this number has just recently been released we hit 86 which everybody is super proud about um we've got more than five gigawatts of contracts so 26 for corporates of which five or facebook it's it's a it's a big piece of that chunk um and we've been really busy um in 2019 facebook was the largest corporate buyer of renewable energy in the u.s at least according to rebus totals which which are pretty good uh and the second largest corporate buyer in the world and actually in 2018 we were the largest corporate buyer in the world so um the last two years have been really busy for us um certainly even before that but the last two have been really really big years for us and we're we're incredibly proud um of the amount of renewable energy that we're able to bring to the electric grid uh also just very briefly you know renewable energy is incredibly important we believe in it strongly um but the you know going back to the old adage about energy efficiency uh the best elect the best kind of electron is the one you don't use in the first place uh whether it's renewable or not and so um we spent a huge amount of time working on energy efficiency um and we believe that our data centers are 38 more energy efficient than sort of the average industry data center uh it's it's ingrained into everything our design and hardware teams do and we've done some really great stuff there we also use a lot less water than the average data center so efficiency is top of mind first and foremost it really becomes a thing on which everything else is built so i want to spend a couple of minutes talking about how we actually do this so you know how do you buy this stuff um like if one wants to go out into the market and buy renewable energy um what do you do so there's really two pathways that we use and there's you know there's as many flavors of this as there are electric markets in the united states for those of you that that are aware you know the the energy market in the us is highly balkanized you got a lot of different players you got many different regulators um so it it's um it's it's a little bit different but if if you had it bucketize it into two things these would be the buckets the first is we buy direct so we're signing power purchase agreements directly with projects we're working with the developers of those projects and uh and really it's it's a transaction which sits it's related but sort of sits off to the side from how we're serving our facility with energy the second bucket is working with a utility and many of these are actually through arrangements that we call green tariffs so there's a special rates that the utilities designed to allow customers to bring more renewable energy into their portfolio some of them kind of pair with existing utility rates some of them are are fully encompassing utility rates where um the whole thing is built around the types of renewable energy resources that are in the mix in new mexico there's a renewable energy green tariff that we did there where we're bringing wind and solar projects and the utility is looking at that and um has put a whole rate together uh which which allows us to serve the facility with those resources so um many different options in terms of how we do this but you know ultimately we're either buying directly from the project or partnering with with one of the utilities that we work with around the country some of this also depends on the market structure in in uh in the place that we're looking for renewables so um in some parts of the country we have what are called regulated energy markets where uh you have regulated monopoly utilities that are serving exclusively the customers in those markets and there we partner directly with those utilities in part because we don't have other options in other markets as we call deregulated markets or choice markets you have many more options in terms of how you how you serve facilities essentially you can choose from a list of providers and um that gives you some additional flexibility in terms of how you serve so we're probably a little bit disproportionately weighted towards regulated markets and so we we do a lot of work with with regulated utilities but we've got a number of sites and deregulated markets as well and some direct contracts in those markets too um so i've got a question here uh maybe there's a couple of them um related to you know renewables and and what does a hundred percent mean so we've got this 100 goal like what does it actually mean and and the reason that people tend to ask that question is um you know the wind doesn't blow all the time the the sun doesn't shine all the time so like how can you say that you're renewably powered sometimes we also talk about like you know it's it's not like you're plugging a wind farm into the data center so how can you guarantee um so look the the way that this works is the way that um basically all renewable energy programs around the world works which is right now what we are focused on is a volumetric match up on an annual basis the amount of renewable energy that we put onto the grid is equivalent to the amount of electricity that we pull off of the grid and this is an important concept um it's it's sort of in terms of the spectrum of renewable energy procurement it's it's pretty far along the spectrum and it's better than just uh buying a generic renewable energy credit and kind of saying that you know we're done so we're in the same grid region we're contracting with new renewable energy projects that we feel that we've made significant contributions to those projects happening and we're making sure that the volume of renewables generated matches the volume of renewables of the volume of load that we have on the system as we move beyond that and we'll talk about this a little bit later we do start to think about what what might come next how how might we think about a system where you're really thinking about a fully decarbonized system some of you that are on the call might have seen a concept note or a white paper that google put out about a year and a half ago where they introduced a concept called 24 7 renewables where they were really saying all right every hour every day if you wanted clean what would that look like how would you do that um and that concept sparked some really interesting conversations um and it's something that that we've looked at one of the things that's really interesting about facebook's portfolio is just because of the mix of resources wind and solar you know for those of you that maybe aren't familiar wind and solar tend to generate at opposing time so wind generates a little more at night solar generates a little bit obviously only during the day when the sun is shining um and what we find is if you start to sort of overlay the generation profiles we've got a significant match-up of generation hour by hour but it's it's not 100 kind of where do where do we go from there um i think one of the things that that we're interested in thinking about is is the next step moving to hour by hour for an individual company or is the next step really trying to figure out how we push the grid as a whole to greater penetration of renewables and get to an hour by hour for the grid thereby greening the grid for everybody so it's been a couple of minutes towards the end um chatting about that one um but that that's how that our goals work and and the goals of of all other companies work um so our portfolio uh i mentioned before if you go to sustainability.fb.com you can see a bunch of information uh regarding uh where our facebook data centers are so those little little blue x um every single project that we've contracted with we've got more than 50 projects it's a staggering number of projects and a very small team really when you think 20 people with data centers and and getting those plugged in and lights turned on and contracting all these renewable energy projects it's it's as much load in as many projects as a medium-sized utility and we're doing it with 20 people um 30 of those projects are operating 50 of them are under construction um it's just uh it's it's great and this this is a screenshot of a map which is interactive so you can you can go find that map you can click on it you can see all kinds of great details about the project um as you can see the projects are clustered within the grid regions of the projects of the data centers which again is is one of our one of our main priorities so um just to give you a little sense like what is this what does this look like right so this is one of those 50 projects um this is a hundred megawatt project called bancroft solar it supports uh data center site in um in georgia i believe it's got 355 000 solar panels spread across 1200 acres and uh created 675 construction jobs i mean these things are really really massive and this is one of 50. we've got we've got projects that are even larger than this we got projects that are smaller than this um but the scale of the impact like the scale of pretty much everything facebook does is is really uh quite large so uh we've made a lot of progress in our renewable energy journey through time um and uh one of the things that i always like to show is that um not only has our percentage of renewables grown through time but our load has also been growing significantly through that period as well so both increasing the amount of renewables while also seeing our load increase at a really significant rate and all of this data is on our website so you can go check it out um so the last piece of this and then i'm going to stop and the questions have been great i've been grabbing a couple as we go and then we'll we'll get a chance to bring john back and do some more of them um because i'm really looking forward to it but just to give you a little bit of a sense of what is coming next we've got a very small handful of companies that have hit 100 renewable energy goals i think google and apple have done it publicly we're getting very close this is our year so what are people starting to think about next and really this is this is one of the reasons why we love reba is because reba is helping to think about this so this is kind of a busy slide um and there were all kinds of build-up slides coming up to it that i'm not going to show but what they are focused on is figuring out how to green the grid for everybody so this kind of goes back to this thing that i was talking about before if you want a thousand customers or 10 000 customers buying and selling renewable energy they are not going to do it by signing ppas because of that great question that we had earlier about small companies like if you have 10 of a sustainability professional's time thinking about renewables they're not going to negotiate a 50-page ppa it's not possible so what we have to do is think about the ways in which the pathways that we can help move the grid towards uh decarbonized future and that's a big part of what reba is doing right now they've got something called the pathways analysis where they're looking at some of those options so some of the things that they've studied and that you can see on this chart just showing you kind of the overlay of all of the tools that we're seeing around the country um the first utility green tariffs those have been around a lot of people use it some of them are more effective than others but they do drive customers into new renewable purchases then we've got utilities that are making commitments we've got some very large utilities in the united states that have made 100 renewable energy commitments we've seen excel do that we've seen duke do that timelines and some other things i think are still interesting on that but it's meaningful it's important um we've seen the development of wholesale markets around the country we've got those big gray swaths of the country that don't have active liquid wholesale markets it makes it very difficult to get projects done um we've also got states that are setting 100 renewable energy targets it started with hawaii in 2015 and now we've seen um all the way up in virginia setting 100 renewable energy targets just in this last legislative session um you know you think about how to bring customers forward if if the state has a 100 renewable energy target then every customer is going to be on 100 renewable energy and that will drive more customers into being 100 renewable than trying to figure out how to get all those people procuring renewable energy um we've also got a number of states where uh you know the executive branch of the government has set a 100 renewable energy goal um and then also states with retail choice um there's there are some interesting questions around if you just make it easier for companies to choose renewables will they do that and in some places it seems the answer is yes in some places it seems like the design of the market makes it challenging for that to happen but you look at a state like texas and there are a number of providers like a fully deregulated state like so many things in texas they do everything their own way in terms of energy markets and um there are a bunch of providers there where if you're if you're a small mom-and-pop business or even a residential customer and you want 100 renewables very easy to find somebody to serve you with that uh with that supply option so um the the long and the short of it is you look at a chart like this and you see this this patchwork but each one of these tools has the potential to increase the amount of renewable energy that companies non-residential customers are able to buy and i think ultimately we're working with riva to try and figure out which one has the you know one or ones is going to move things forward fastest um and really uh in drive as much decarbonization and as much renewables as possible onto the grid so um i'm going to stop with the content there and uh we've got a ton of questions so actually maybe i'll i'll save a little bit about kind of how i got to where i am in renewables for the student session towards the end and um we can just jump to john and to questions great well you've done a great job answering questions already it makes my job easier there seem to be a lot of questions regarding what i would call grid integration of renewables so this ranges from when you buy direct how do you get transmission services what do they cost are they reliable do you play in grid integration inducing activities which could be buying storage renting storage you're an id company you would be probably it would be easier for you to do demand response either on the buy or sell side of that how far into that game are you or are you just kind of you're so big are you kind of market tape taker uh market price takers and all those things and just work from that way so how active and aggressive are you a lot of people seem to be worried about that there was even one question about well if you don't if you get the higher renewables aren't you going to need more fossils to do you know firm uh firm power and ancillary services and so i know that's a bunch of things hooked together but you seem like the kind of person who actually thinks in a very strategic holistic way about that part of the challenge yeah i mean so we spent a lot of time thinking about that um not lisa which because many of the utilities that we work with haven't thought about it themselves so there are jurisdictions where we're the biggest customer on the utility system by a wide margin and we're coming in we're saying hey we're gonna we're gonna do the whole thing on renewables and then it's like holy cow i hadn't even so now you're going to move a meaningful portion of my system to renewables and how are we going to deal with this um so that one of the underlying premises of everything we do with utilities is that it is important to us to have no net adverse impact on other customers we are responsible for the cost of what we're doing and we always make sure that we pay those costs we also don't want to be saddled with costs that aren't our responsibility so ultimately what we do is we have to work with utilities to understand what the integration costs are what's caused by us what's caused by other parts of the system and figure out the most equitable way to address that usually contractually but sometimes through the market and um the interest the other interesting piece of this is that we're not only dealing with it from the renewable side we also deal with with it from the load side so you know we're a transmission level load and in most places you know we're talking more than 100 megawatts and you saw in the corner of that rendering that big old substation there so you know we're plugging into the transmission part of the grid and um it the conversations aren't necessarily so different it's it's what is the most equitable way to allocate the costs which are caused by a specific customer and what parts of what parts of those costs really are a nuring benefit to the rest of the customers on the grid um but it varies every state to every state but i think we are seeing more and more places um where that's a conversation we're having i will say though and i just want to call this out because i've been hearing more and more frequently even in the folks that care about renewables talking about like hey like we gotta slow down corporate procurement because we're gonna get we're gonna get too much renewables on the system and then it's gonna drive more fossils and like there's a very small handful of markets where that's the case like california maybe just california maybe one or two other places depending on how you want to look at it but unfortunately we are not at the place or or maybe fortunately depending on how you want to think about it where we're anywhere close to having integration problems like most of the integration that i'm talking about is it's it's transmission capacity it's not it's not this other stuff like we should just be plowing as much renewables onto the grid as possible in most parts of the country and the grid can handle it we're nowhere near the penetration levels where we're going to have grid stability issues from having too much renewables so i think um none of the none of the corporate buyers should slow down like we should be so lucky is to find ourselves in a situation with the limited exception of maybe california arizona a couple other places we are starting to have to think about that and the duck curve in a meaningful way but like in most places it's just not the case and we can put a lot more renewables under the grid so we we think about it we care about it but don't let it slow you down like we have to get more renewables under the greater more customers need to be getting more renewables under the grid but just to parse that just a little bit i think that was a great answer uh do you currently own battery capacity or are you looking at that as something particularly i i don't know how this works but i imagine reliability is a big problem if the server farm goes down that's not a very good thing you hear from washington not just your customers probably yeah um so we we don't have a well i'll i'll say one interesting thing data centers are actually the biggest battery storage installations on the grid today because they've all got uninterrupted power supplies but they're not configured in a way to use those batteries productively outside of the specific purpose at the data center which is making sure that uh there's power continuity to the servers before the backup generation kicks in um maybe some like people are starting to think about this uh you know micro we know all of the data center energy teams know each other i think the microsoft team is great they do a lot of really cool like r d sort of studies and i know they've done some work thinking about using uninterrupted power supply batteries for other grid services um we haven't done that but but that's sort of interesting separate to that you know you sort of utility scale batteries we've got one uh battery on one of our projects in new mexico it's a it's a one megawatt one megawatt hour battery on a wind project it's um it's specifically addressing some of the complexities of a particular project i think we are finally just starting to see a world where the economics on batteries pencil where we might start seeing them on more projects so i always say that we are technology agnostic and cost sensitive in our contracting so very interesting to see batteries i think the other thing about batteries is the markets are struggling to catch up with the diversity of services that batteries can supply to the grid and at the same time so um you know i sort of think about like a battery needs like one and a third one and a half revenue streams to kind of work and a lot of the regulatory constructs haven't quite caught up with how to create a rate structure that accommodates that sort of revenue pancaking and so i think there's a lot of interesting things you could do with the introduction of utility scale batteries into the management of large loads um but we're not really set up with that way right now so we're we've got a lot of conversations going there i wouldn't be at all surprised if we saw large-scale storage integrated into some of our projects and the way we interconnect some of our facilities um i bet it's going to be another year before we see that though so on the demand response would you give pretty much the same answer or are you further along thinking about that or not as far as on the battery side you know demand response is really interesting in the data center community you've got some lar and the the folks out there that run data centers it's kind of a small world they jump around their facilities engineers facilities operations um and uh as you were surmising earlier reliability is king or queen and really anything that might jeopardize the overall reliability of the facility is frowned upon so you've got certain groups of folks that do facilities management for data centers that think using backup generation to do demand response uh is fine and you've got others that wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole um and and they fall into two camps and i see this across the industry across operators i won't necessarily say what camp facebook falls in but it's one of the two so good thanks uh yeah there were a range of questions regarding uh differences in procurement of renewables in the us and abroad and even one about why did you sight a big data center in singapore given the cost of land and labor there particularly land i imagine yeah um that i'll answer that one first and sort of a not an entirely specific way but um it there are hundreds if not thousands of factors that go into making data center siting decisions um even in the us like picking from state to state when you start to look internationally we are balancing so many different things to find the right places to site these facilities singapore checks a lot of boxes for a lot of people there are actually a lot of data centers in singapore um so you know you can just kind of assume what some of those boxes might be um that said uh it's a challenge to find renewables there we're working really hard on it we've got a bunch of people that are dedicated to finding enough renewables just not a lot of land to do solar and wind and so figuring out how you make that work we've been fortunate to have um a couple of projects to support the early phases of that facility but we're going to need more and we're working hard to figure that out um going back to the the first part of your question um now i'm blanking on what it was can you can you refresh me what was the first part uh how is the procurement process for renewables different outside the us all right yeah yeah yeah um yeah that's also a very interesting question um you know in some ways like taking europe as an example europe was relatively far ahead of the united states on the deployment of policy driven renewable energy programs so you know you saw a lot of countries setting these programs to deploy in the united states we had somewhat less of that and so in a sense corporate procurement sprung up to fill a void where companies wanted more renewable energy than was available to them on their local grids so they started doing their own thing like and and conversely in europe it took a it took a little while longer for companies to say hey we want to procure beyond the already aggressive targets that we're seeing in europe but also because they were so far along from a policy perspective it's actually been a little challenging to procure in europe particularly through ppas because no one ever had a contemplator they didn't contemplate it for a long time so in some sense ppa driven procurement in europe i think is a number of years behind where it is in the united states but we are getting stuff done there there are markets in europe that work um we just signed a very large wind project called burkheim um that'll support a number of our nordic facilities and so um people are figuring it out but it does it takes time um and so i think uh you know not only do we see country by country differences and market by market differences but even in the united states every single utility we work with is going to be different every market we work in is going to be different which is one of the challenges for smaller customers is like it takes expertise in 15 different markets or 20 different markets to meet a whole portfolio and that's very it's just hard great uh well peter i think we need to move on to the face-to-face no pun intended uh student session at this point because i know they're anxious and probably envious of where you are and anxious to get there as soon as possible i will say uh thanks for a terrific talk and also some good news given that this is our last seminar and it seems that the whole world sucks right now so thank you for being a a shining counter example to that dread thanks again and i hope you'll come visit us as soon as the fog lifts from the world well thank you so much for having me i love as you can tell i'm passionate about this i love to talk about it and i'm really looking forward to getting over to campus and actually meeting some of the folks over there so thanks everybody online thank you john thanks everyone great thank you all you | Stanford ENERGY | UCl61FygpQRrpphc_GKSWLJw | 2020-06-03 | Creative Commons Attribution

Xmk2u8sCjRc | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xmk2u8sCjRc | When does being overwhelmed turn to burnout? | So generally when we’re talking about burnout, we’re talking about an effect of chronic stress over time and ongoing physical, mental or emotional fatigue, as well as a generally negative outlook towards life and one’s job and the ability to do one’s job. And although it’s not a diagnosis, it is a state that does require attention. So if we think about what’s happening to us physiologically when we feel stressed, we go into a threat state. Our central nervous system will respond and put us into a fight or flight mode. So this is a production of hormones like adrenaline and other hormones, increased blood pressure, heart rate, respiration, and this is a highly helpful adaptive state to be in, if we’re faced with a difficult or dangerous situation. However, if this response if being triggered repeatedly over time as it is with chronic stress, this is highly exhausting to our system and over time can lead to burnout. When you think about gender and burnout – all genders experience stress and burnout as well, but there are some gender-related findings and research that show women are more likely to be balancing multiple roles, particularly caregiving roles – and maybe with childcare, caring for elders or others, alongside their paid work outside their home as well and this can put them in a higher risk situation for burnout over time. Also, women are more likely to be in a lower status job, so lower status jobs, there tends to be less decision-making power and less autonomy. Those are important factors, so if they are not there or there’s less of that, it can impact your job satisfaction and your efficacy in your role. So identifying burnout can actually be challenging and that’s because it’s not something you wake up feeling – you don’t wake up feeling burnt out, it’s not something that just happens but it’s the effect of an accumulation over time. And there’s also maybe some messaging and expectations from society or ourselves that can kind of get in the way of acknowledging or identifying when we’re feeling stressed or struggling. For example, maybe the ‘I have to do it myself’ expectation or making associations between asking for help or getting help and personal weakness. These are things that can be barriers to reaching out and shifting priorities around work load.

JaY7CRK-DXM | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaY7CRK-DXM | Sinusoidal signals | pretty much every signal that we'll study uh in this course and certainly in computer science by and large or computer electrical engineering for that matter is going to be a sinusoidal signal and so i want to talk a little bit about what a sinusoid looks like so here i'm showing the signal uh y which is this value over here that's y uh cos 2 pi t by t so it's cos 2 pi and small t over capital t so capital t is the period so you can see that the signal which is the sort of this u shape thing repeats itself every time period capital t so it's 3t 40 et cetera and at 0 you have cos 0 which is 1 so cos 0 equals 1 and at time t it's going to be cos t is also equal to 1. so we want to arrange things so that this function the cos is of that value over here is going to be 1. so we want this angle to be 2 pi and so if we set small t which is this axis over here uh to be equal to uh cos two pi t by t then when small t reaches capital t then that is equals 2 pi when it becomes 2 t it becomes twice 2 pi which is 4 pi which is a multiple of 2 pi and so of course we get 1 again so essentially by choosing this function y equals cos 2 pi t by t as i've shown over here then we are going to get just what we need which is a sinusoid which has a period of capital t and which has initial value of 1 and which goes down to 0 at pi by 2 and then it's going to be -1 at pi and then goes to zero again at uh three pi by four and then it goes to uh sorry this is three pi by two and it goes to 1 again at 2 pi so that's your sinusoid it's a bit confusing that we are going to call something this cosine a sinusoid but well anyway and the reason why it's important is because we can represent all sorts of signals as a sinusoid and we'll study how that's done a little bit later | S.

FoolIDaFQIc | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoolIDaFQIc | DrupalCon Amsterdam 2019: Drupal Diversity & Inclusion: Volunteer-led strategies for the community | hi everybody thanks for coming this is triple diversity inclusion it is our sort of initiative update we are Drupal diversity inclusion I am the leader of the group my name is Terra King you might know me on the Internet of sparkling robots that work for Pantheon and I'll let y'all introduce ourselves well I guess we're going to reverse order so hi I'm Ellie I currently work for open strategy partners the content of the communication marketing person or just whatever needs doing in the Google community with the Drupal diversity and inclusion leadership team and also the mentorian team don't you hi I'm Alana you can find me online at a Berg 66 on slack I'm just my name Elana Burke I'm also a slash admin if you need any help I'm a developer and also a Drupal trainer I am currently freelancing and contracting but I would very much love to have a full-time job so if you're hiring please talk to me so you look great just a little plug all right okay so when we do this presentation we usually do a land acknowledgement and in North America this is usually some kind of indigenous non-white people and when I went to do research for the Netherlands this is a little bit of a different kind of a land acknowledgement than we're used to but we wanted to do something like the same so in my research I came across the Friesians who are a minority people dating back to 700 BCE and so Frisian is their language it's a West Germanic language spoken in its west frisian form by an estimated 400,000 people who live in the province of Friesland where the total population is about 640,000 it's also spoken by another 300,000 people who left Friesland to find work elsewhere in the Netherlands and most regions are bilingual in both Frisian and Dutch I also read that Frisian is a language that is one of the most similar to English of all the the other languages out there some of the earliest settlements in Friesland date to about 700 BCE and the freezing's became a distinctive tribe in about 200 BCE they've resisted the Romans in 250 C e BC e39 was no it's C II sorry freeze land was flooded and the free lands moved to Flanders and England before actually returning and 400 and then in 1648 Friesland joined the United Republic of the Netherlands which kind of hastened the decline of their their language which was already under pressure from German and Dutch and but it marked the beginning of modern Frisian movement and culture and so today under the legal system so Frisian can be used in courts of law it's a legal official language but the official language of legal documents is is Dutch so in 2001 the Netherlands and the Frisian government signed and covenant to sort of help you know the continuation and the fostering of the the Frisian language but it sort of isn't quite up to par to how some people would like it and they feel that you know they're their culture and their language are still kind of declining and they feel like the Dutch government really isn't doing enough so I thought this was really interesting and it's still it's still kind of the same story that we see in other indigenous cultures even though we might look at these people and say like well they don't look any different it was really interesting that I found a lot of stuff about their sort of historic costumes and traditional garb that they wear so that's just a little bit about a land acknowledgement right here in the Amsterdam so today we're gonna discuss a handful of topics the first one why don't care about anything other than code Drupal's you're both software why do we care about the rest of it we're gonna talk about some common misconceptions about diversity and tec-9 things you can make do to make a difference and who are we who is DDI who is the triple diversity and inclusion so why do we care about anything other than code because software is people just like Soylent Green software is actually made of people it has our vision our values our language and even our biases built into it so who makes the software matters and there's no such thing as neutral you know we want to believe in facts and objectivity and we want to believe that you know this code that gets boiled down to zeros and ones is just neutral but it can't be we cannot help but to Center things on our own perspective can record had a fantastic talk I think last year that said that the monocultures often can't see their own biases it's like being nose blind to your own smell you can't help but but - you know everything around you is you know it's it's about you so stop trying to work towards some kind of baseline that really isn't going to be as objective as you think so we encode our values into the things that we create you know software is made by humans all humans have values all humans have biases so our software has our biases whether conscious or not built into it you know how use are things that you think are good or bad you know maybe you love certain types of music you know you love your family even though they might be problematic you appreciate your family's culture history you know maybe you hate clowns maybe you love well-documented code maybe you hate flash maybe you value fairness whatever it is nobody is truly neutral no one lives a truly neutral existence you know especially when we're surrounded by other humans these values are also vitus's and it doesn't necessarily mean it's negative you know I like kittens and guinea pigs that's a bias no one's gonna say that that's a bad thing but it's a bias I am biased towards kittens and guinea pigs but many times we grow up exposed to ideas about other people that we just take for granted you know even if we objectively learn that they are not true those patterns remain imprinted on our brains so our software has our biases whether conscious or not built into it and algorithms aren't neutral is just like our code they're built by us by humans there's a quote after an audit of the algorithm the resume screening company found that the algorithm found two factors to be the most indicative of job performance if their name was Jared and whether they played high schools across so this was an article called companies are on the hook if they're hiring algorithms are biased Amazon thought it would be smart to use neutral forms to assess job applicants instead of humans because humans are biased and machines aren't right but we put garbage on we get garbage out so they edit their existing employees and so the algorithm just reinforced stereotypes of all the humans who already work together so all the humans who had already done the hiring and all of the stereotypes that they already had were just reinforced by the algorithm that's all that happened and the word women like in women's sports would cause the algorithm to specifically rank applicants lower ouch yeah it was the whole thing so we all have our personal biases but when our history and institutions are built on top of bias this is when we get structural inequality so we encode our biases into the institutions and cultures that we create so this leads to generations of injustice and then discrimination moves from a personal issue into a systemic problem and this ensures that equality content in equality continues even without anyone actually being racist or sexist so we have a generation right now where everyone is saying you know why does this matter we're not racist and we're not sexist well maybe our parents and our grandparents and their grandparents were and the institutions that they built reflected their values and their biases and that's the world that we're living in so those are the things that we have to change and that's the reason that we have to change because of the structural inequality that was built from a world that you know a hundred years ago or whatever we don't live in that world anymore so sociologists who study inequality distinguished between individual bias which is negative beliefs about a group held by individual persons and systemic inequality which is unequal outcomes built into our institutions that will produce any quality even in the absence of biased individuals and this is sort of a we've got it an image here a you know a pyramid and showing you know we've got a you know a society here which has the Pharaoh and our government officials and our soldiers our scribe merchants in her artisans and our farmers and our sleeves and you know there's there's bias that's been built into society since you know the beginning of time I'm like there there have always been people who were thought of as as lesser as not you know the people who had to haul blocks of limestone up the pyramids to build them and you know unless you somehow reverse those inequalities and that you know a systemic injustice that was done you're not going to be able to do anything to fix it and it's just going to keep happening so these systems privilege some people whether they want it or not privilege isn't something you can choose to opt in or out of you know I didn't choose to have white privilege you know men didn't choose to have male privilege but we thought it anyway so a question that matters is that whether we have it but what are we going to do with it so it's important to understand it um really really great quote here is in the role-playing game known as the real world straight white male is the lowest difficulty setting there is you can lose planning on the lowest difficulty setting but the lowest difficulty setting is still easiest setting to win so you know privilege it's not about guilt or believe it's about recognizing but there are systems that advantage or disadvantage entire groups of people through no fault or credit of their own it doesn't mean that you've done anything wrong and it doesn't mean that you have done anything right so you know I am a woman but grew up really really poor I grew up with a single mom but I also grew up with a really really educated mom who did everything she could to get me into every class and give me every kind of education advantage you could ever imagine I nobody knew how poor we were because education you know you look at well-dressed educated kid and you never think about that so you know had advantages there so you know these things they you know your privileges they some of them might cancel each other out you know it's not you know just having one privilege doesn't mean that you're automatically you know sort of eat magically sailing through life and not having one doesn't mean that you're magically doomed it just means that there are different considerations to take into that effect how you're going to go through life so you know talking about this you know imaginary role-playing game idea of you know this life that we live you know the the default behaviors for all of the straight white male are you know the NPCs that you would run into the non player characters they're easier on you you know everything that you run into is going to be a little bit easier for you the default barriers for completions of quests are lower you know you're gonna level up faster you're gonna get more experience faster so it's just about sort of thinking about why that happens and how it happens and stop thinking about you know assigning blame or guilt or wondering why and just sort of accepting that it happens and wondering you know and then thinking you know what are you going to do about it and how are you going to you know move forward and you're thinking about other people's privilege compared to your own and and how might you use your own privilege to help other people and so the result of privilege is an uneven playing field that perpetuates itself and causes a lot of harm you know privilege tends to beget privileged rich people have privileged kids who have more privileged kids who have more privilege Cabot's underprivileged people tend to have underprivileged kids who have more underprivileged kids who have more in their garbage cans you know you can sometimes you can think of it in terms of class like it is very hard to move up in terms of class it's not a direct analogy but you can kind of think of that a little bit you know privileged kids get the good internships and they get the good jobs from the good internships and that stuff tends to perpetuate and the people who don't have that privilege tend to not have anything that helps them get more privilege so I think next is me yep all right so with that basis of sort of plot where we're coming at that perspective we're taking I'm gonna cover some well-intended attitudes that don't actually help in these discussions some of these are things I have believed in the past or they're certainly I think all of them are things I've heard in the Drupal communities for people who think that they're doing good work here and think that this is helping and I think is actually kind of consumed ties to perpetuate the systems we're talking about so you know thoughts and prayers aren't always actually what we made in this world sometimes we need action so free speech and tolerance evolve give everyone equal opportunity so we love free things in Drupal free software and all the things right but there's this thing called the paradox of tolerance turn off the targets okay there's too many notes I never knew there's too many notes Suprema tolerance was sort of coined by Karl Popper who was writing at your wedding in the lake with like 1945 and basically pointed out that if you tolerate the intolerant tolerance itself will not survive so you know I think sometimes code of conduct type things policies can say like Oh everyone's welcome which seems quite inclusive and welcoming but if you welcome someone who hates women I'm not going to feel included as one example right so I think this is something that especially these open communities we really need to be talking about a lot here's our super handicraft intolerance cannot be included inside of tolerance it is paradoxical it is strange but it is true open sources and meritocracies everyone gets a chance to contribute right like no sorry it's certainly there are many merits to people who contribute to open source and things like that but because there are so many structural barriers against some people trying to contribute to open source it just there could be the best person in the world who doesn't have internet access or the best person in the world who doesn't speak the language of the project it's running with structural barriers that actually prevent meritocracy from being really all that valuable Drees talked about this in Seattle keynote there's also a post meritocracy manifesto that some open-source contributors have put together that talks about this super recommend it it's good stuff there are no minorities available to work in tech I am trying to hire them and they don't apply to my jobs like they just don't exist this is false we're all here for a real person this is just one example I got Intel set a goal to hire 40% from underrepresented minority people in tech and they got 43% and their CEO said basically if the pipeline was the problem I would have failed but the pipeline isn't the problem there certainly could be better but in general there are plenty of people talented people for underrepresented groups already in tech already with the skills we need a lot of them work in proprietary software for a lot of reasons but they have a much better diversity than we do so we need to start sort of investing in our community now making it a safe place for people to be today so that as those people are coming in from the pipeline they have somewhere safe to be and they don't drop out of tech altogether let's just help women in tech first then we'll get to everybody else we like to talk about issues being intersectional right so a lot of diversity tactic initiatives saying oh we're gonna focus on gender and once we fix gender then we'll fix race then we'll fix whatever but it doesn't take into account the fact that all of these issues really sort of intersect and amplify right so there are six ways of being a woman and the experience of being say an immigrant and then the experience of being an immigrant moment is a totally different and unique place those two kinds of oppressions actually interact and often make it worse so we like to look at things as intersectionally as possible to bring along all people together rather than you know one group at a time but we have nice policies and good intent again intent does not equal impact this is something we talk about a lot so often like with microaggressions people aren't actually trying to be mean to you or anything they just don't realize their own internal biases but if I were to drop an anvil on a leaf yeah it hurts if I dropped it on purpose I should get fired but I dropped it accidentally it still broke her foot right like you have to actually look at the intent as well as the impact and I think often impact / intent myself we have one really smart black person let's put her in charge of diversity certainly if this person is volunteering sure but a lot of times what happens is there spike the one underrepresented person at the company and they're like Ellie will you please take on the charge of improving all of our company culture and fixing our harem and all of the things this frequently leads to burnout of that employee who's really just trying to like write this offer and it also leads to that person becoming a lightning rod for controversial issues within the company and often getting fired I've heard of that story many times you should help us hire now we're firing you it's a mess right so what you want to do is not put extra work on people just because demographic rather support them in their goals at work do that kind of thing you know makes them happy there and then like I said it's a pollen tear it's no problem but it's important to not just make it that person's problem we also wanted to use this to talk a little about the diversity diversity inclusion and equity you have that one person on your team your takes a little bit more diverse if that person is not actually included that's a problem so we want to make sure that they feel welcome and that they feel like they're part of the team and not just like a token higher and then equity is where they actually are fully participatory fully empowered member of the team that's obviously the goal right we want everyone to be fully empowered and not just like oh we hired you should have look better but we're not actually going to listen to you so I think this site does not looking the way to us to look there we go well hide it with butterflies not to Ellie about butterflies okay hi so I went looking for a quote to put on this slide and I found Susan Sontag this is actually a book of essays I really enjoyed she said that your acts of resistance cannot stop the injustice does not exempt you from acting in what you've sincerely and reflectively hold to be the best interests of your community you'll get that okay I don't have to do this like so but honestly to me this does speak to sir the moral obligations of participating in a space sorry about the fireplace no without your fault problematic today so if you are in a space and do you want to continue participating in a space and I do feel that you have an obligation to take care of that space and the other people in it it may or may not work out perfectly but you should still try so on that note some small things you can do to one say hi to new people so there are new folks in your community I haven't seen them before just saying hello how are you welcome this is really hard for me because I'm super shy you may not have noticed that because I was on stage and not here that I'm super shy so something I do personally or just say gosh this coffee line is really slow or I wish they had the coffee out longer just somebody you're standing next to just casual conversation doesn't have to be anything fancy but it does help someone feel like they are also welcomed and involvement it's a very tiny way just to conversationally less lonely in the crowd and there's also noticing who's in the room and who isn't so for example I went to a panel earlier today I noticed was fantastic the panel I think was actually a fifty-fifty representation gender wise but they looked around the room and I thought this room is not really representative of the same demographic imbalance I saw the keynote audience this morning that just stood out to me entirely certain what to do without it maybe there was another talk at that time where there were more folks I don't know but I noticed and familiarize yourself at the code of conduct for a fencing attempt this is pretty important I think Drupal has done a lot of work on our code of conduct to improve it but at the very least just reading it yourself will help you know it's expected of you and help you make any recommendations or changes that you think might help out in the future and it is pretty important to read and I know especially a lot of represented people in the community are probably reading it just today you know what's what's available to them is amazing it's also like ten feet tall hey Janelle Robbie it's bigger than I am that's good conduct all the space for and amplify the voices of others so the the image here is they scarf or someone knit during an event and they were just knitting in a different color for who's speaking so the red were all it's also really large amounts of yarn color there are male folks and less everyone in color or seen help those binary you get the idea so when you're in a space like that's something you can do is just speak up yourself if you were able to and say hey you know Tara you notice speaking do you have anything to add to this conversation that's everything be prepared to interrupt harassment and other problematic behaviors similar just speaking up for someone else if you feel safe doing zone saying eight you see that you oh great you've just used the wrong pronouns for my coworker they are they not a she or reminding folks about accessible colors talk to friends and colleagues about issues that matter to you this is difficult I think it's difficult but something I do once tomorrow is just pop a link into a water-cooler channel and say hey you know X Y & Z stood out to me in this article just do it if anybody else wants to talk about it it would be a little more bold appear not is boldness you want to be me as mild as you want to be sponsored people with less privileged than you this this is about sponsoring rather than men touring with a kind of different concept so mentoring I think it is sort one-on-one you're teaching someone showing them the ropes helping them understand the system sponsoring is more sharing a spare ticket to CTO event or maybe you have extra airline miles you can help somebody else get a ticket to the conference or just sharing some of your privilege in whatever way works and fixing your recruitment and hiring I think we already talked about the pipeline a little bit and some of the things you can do a really indent making sure you have an environment of where when the representative folks will want to be it's important but so you create a space that's welcoming and then you go out and look for people that you want to be in it and figure out how to keep them there I read an article the other day that said professional development opportunities are very helpful in that regard for a lot of underrepresented folks participate in Drupal diversity and inclusion which is a handy segue into our next section again so a little bit about us we did get a mojito yesterday so you've got to hear some of our history there so what too far into it but Niki Stevens did found a group in 2016 this is actually a successful session and then a follow-up Boff where there was just a lot of energy and a lot of people talking and sharing like very specific tips and strategies for how they're getting by in the workplace and how they're not getting by in the workplace our mandate really I think is to be a safe space in the community for women people of color religious minorities people with different abilities all the people really because we don't see a lot of these people when we say like notice within the room you don't see a lot of those folks at the events right so we want to provide support there it's hard often to like network when you're different from everyone else the event the one humbled those networks that kind of thing so some of the barriers it's so long and it's not even all of them racism sexism ableism classism transphobia homophobia ageism mental health Islamophobia and anti-semitism xenophobia language barriers discrimination based on body type our parents and other moms are questions that either are not named or invented yet we really like to try to take this intersectional approach and make sure people with all of these forms of oppression acting in their lives have a place to be I guess not anyone so this is our current leadership team so Tara is our leader and myself le Marc Alex and Alex the rest of our leadership team so these people are involved in the daily operations of GDI and help to run our initiatives so we've recently outlined online how our leadership is chosen so this is included in our drupal.org documentation which I'm also very happy that we have and then we have an advisory team which is made up of nahee our founder Greg Ruby Fatima who is our former leader net and Heather so these are folks who pop in from time to time based on their their availability and we can turn to them for advice and support and knowledge this is me these are just a few of the initiatives we're working on right now I think we might be done with Drupal Europe planning so we haven't that pressure so you can be idea we are still I think working on this deck as the standardized EDI tarp talk working on speaker training and outreach that's been a big deal is here if you didn't catch the keynote yesterday pretty nifty I think we have another slide about that video resources that's my department we have an awesome resource library is what is awesome it's very much when you want to tell someone to RTFM about anything yeah testimonial can you repeat the testimonial for the recording when you want to tell someone to RTFM that's the best place to go our website sure triple dippers e.com slash resources seriously every time I'm like I'm not a friend an article about XYZ thing it's there it's great so we have a lot of things going on and you are more than welcome to come help out oh yeah one thing that's coming up in two weeks we've got the train the trainer's workshop so following on to the speaker and diversity workshop but full initiative we've got a workshop to train you to run a speaker diversity workshop wherever you are so oh no this is you still sorry not all database we've got weekly meetings every Thursday at 9 a.m. Pacific to Eastern I lost track of daylight savings time in Europe sorry we've got the issue queue you can always find something to work on there or o'clock Amsterdam local got the resource library if you stumble across a cool article or something you want to add just go to the resource library add it it will go through a little approval process and it will be up and Twitter feel free to retweet we're tweeting the movement you've probably seen this one before I will be at the contribution lounge in the morning working on like DDI stuff if you want to come get like learn the ropes of how this works how are you key works help me figure out how to run the JavaScript dang come on over are we gonna be gender filled /od open democratic starting active putting you on the spot I've got an issue and actually has a mentor spreadsheet Oh another project that we've been working on is gender field which for those of you who have been at Drupal for longer than a year ish there used to be a gender field with four options it was are you Jesse Jesse started a gender field that was on drupal.org and then we adopted it two years ago anyway it was like a total magical DrupalCon moment where someone was like hey you should take over gender field for Drupal 8 and I was like I don't know Jesse hey Jesse do you want to give me your mulch we sprinted on attacked Nashville sure I think for the first time and might be doing more so come on down if we're timing into open demographics which is another open source project that's sort of like a nothing about us without us demographics project so rather than having like a bunch of men besides women health care not that that has ever happened in United States we have people who are represented by the demographics offering what they want to be called so our gender field list is like much more comprehensive and inclusive than any other gender field as I've ever seen anyway long story oh a one quick note I'm contributing most of the time if you ever want to work on a module it goes exactly like that you find the person who's working on the module and you're like hey can I work on your module and they're like yes please and then now you work on that module that's exactly how it happens it's five years later you repeat the cycle and you're the person who's like yes yeah this is yes so if you want to read this survey we'd love to hear your thoughts it's on the app there's also a shirt for the whole Kahn and three police atomic maybe like three minutes russian ago we can also stick around a little bit so questions thoughts yes do you mind going to the mice that we came here oh sorry just to the recording united so i can't help but notice that there's three whites reveals doing this discussion and of course if you don't have other people you're gonna have to do it like this but you do have more like diverse people in your team i saw why are there not here it's a awesome question partly because of just practical reasons like we certainly invited them and it's expensive to get to Europe and they're all from the US so that's part of it part of it is that I think one of our guiding and philosophies has been that racism is largely a white people problem and so rather than asking people of color to do the work for us we have attempted to elevate voices I would love to see more people of color on the organizing team and active interpolant everywhere like in general but I think specifically for Amsterdam it's largely funding which is totally structural in the sense that it's very easy for me to get a job because I'm a white person and it's easy for me to get a job that pays me to come here right like it's relatively speaking pretty easy that mean I don't know anything to add yeah cuz I was thinking I was thinking actually maybe I hope I'm not offending anyone here if a white male would be doing this talk with you it might get the message across even stronger because they are literally from the group that you are addressing right now so they are basically saying we can we I spent for this as a person that is part of the problem so they're basically validating your message if you could say that it that's why and there are a few men from your group here right or not a little shy and that's fine so we respect everyone in our group whether not you know not everyone on the leadership team likes to speak and that's fine and we have given this talk with other men on the team and again not everyone came to this conference not everyone's company wanted to send them to this conference and that's totally fine so this is just how it shook out this time which I think this is the first time and then a triple con that it's ever been all women now we quality oh yeah so I guess it's your pull Europe it does tend to be on women which is interesting I did recently read an article where a woman analyzed her Twitter like activi where people liked a rich we did her stuff she's a technical woman tweeted about biotech but notice that the only thing that ever got attraction was diversity in tweets and she ran a bunch of analysis on a wide variety of Twitter accounts and basically concluded that men are listened to about tech and removals to go diversity would you I'm kind of depressing an interesting I think he's don't you're doing this Tom thank you so much for all the work that you do in the channel and for the community it's amazing and so important about psyche my name's Megan something I am frustrated about is that this room is not packed and I had tried to do an initiative that didn't gain much traction as part of an apprenticeship type of group and the feedback was that kept happening was oh we care about diversity but then like no one came early companies didn't sign up or to sponsor people and so when I look around this room and I see important people doing the work and it's showing up but then I don't see as many people who have influence to make change it's really frustrating and I could I'm not going to take a picture of the room but I want to be like where the F are you like why aren't you here if you care so much about diversity can you please show up and so I wanted to ask what should we start calling people out directly like what is the next step for making the DDI group sustainable from four more years to come I think calling people in it's a little like in terms of like so the way that we got Greece to do that Keita last year was by reaching out and being like hey we'd love to work with you we want to help and yeah we want to help you and help talk to you about diversity and we wondered if you had any thoughts about like what you're gonna talk about in the tree snowed and like that evolved and and originally it was supposed to be like this little short piece of it and it wound up being sort of the focus of the Driss minute so I think as much as I would love to call people out and take a picture and be like how many tags can I fit in one tweet because I'm exactly that kind of person and I'm exactly that petty I think that it sort of a more flies with honey situation we're trying to call people in and giving them something actionable where it's like hey we'd love to do X can we get your help with doing a B and C like and it feels like telling people to show up to a session would be just that simple but maybe that doesn't feel like beneficial or like actionable enough so I feel like and I feel like your initiative was actionable enough to but like maybe just trying to get like just very specifically approaching people and asking them you know to do something and trying to think of it as like some benefit to them you know do you guys have yeah I'm gonna say one thing we're over time if you gotta go no hard feelings whatsoever also we're looking for European community members we have very few and like it's extremely difficult for us in the u.s. understand like the ground level what's going on here so like come on into the channel we have a special European channel too so just wanted to say that briefly about this question I feel like this is also I was really frustrated a little bit this morning with like we have all these in it or tracks that are proposed on for triple nine or be nine that are like going to rely on a diverse community and will fail without that like you cannot serve the global population well without having a diverse community and yet there's like zero infrastructure it's like oh the DA is gonna fix it and I like the DA but like come on that's like we all have to be involved and your apprenticeship initiative like could absolutely be a thing like JSON API now why is it not that's all just angry even ago I was exposed to something in response to related to things said about we need European members I was having one of those ad hoc conversations with a number of the community that I've known a long time earlier today and this person was like oh my gosh well you know people in Europe they're just terrified of saying the wrong thing we want to help support diversity and inclusion but we're we're afraid we're gonna say the wrong thing and it's gonna ruin our careers I'm like okay I mean yes I listening is good start just maybe just listen rather than saying anything I'm gonna kind of run around and around and around about that but I think that I'm not is there like is there a way that we can like work with like the event organizing teams here these this person was actually enough just was an American doing someone from the European Community those what's represented saying oh the all the Europeans are afraid they're all gonna swarm and break like okay anyway it's an interesting though at least issue but it is in a drought is a year that a lot of people in the air community has like they they have good intentions yeah but yeah they're great for unable to take the next step so I'm really glad I get to yeah I know I know make it work all right we should definitely stop it going on thank you also be

everybody's at the spray carwash today we're gonna hand wash it will show the water beating with the at home and then we'll wash it up and we'll see what it looks like let's do what we're gonna do to different we're gonna see what it looks like and if we're not getting a lot of beading and stuff but did we see that I think it's failing what we're gonna do is we're gonna use the Turtle Wax ceramic soap that they have there's supposed to be a booster because those products do that they put out with the Turtle Wax ceramic line throw out a pulse to be you don't work together as basically a team to a boost your ceramic spray or your polish with the ceramic in it that they have out and then what I'm gonna do is wash it with Turtle Wax soap that has no waxing and conditioner as far as I know it doesn't say that in a bottle I'm gonna try it out loud traffic just getting off work today I'm sundae and I swear no one does the tank speed limit they go under the speed limit all right I'm back and got the tire in the driveway from spray carwash I did a terrible job spraying it down and get some of this stuff off I'll clean my driveway later but uh let's look at it real quick if you see the specs again just like last time right there all right you guys can see how dirty it is you got some tires sticking to a little bit bad respond to that stuff just eat just eats away at it check it out so I bought the glare I get the Sun from the West all right well get this today is nice man it finally it's March and we got we're up to over 50 today beautiful beautiful all right I'll be doing the water test two by myself washing it up my kid left a few minutes ago to go pick up some pizza okay and plus Q if you didn't watch the other video on the one-month update last time I washed it with this right here the bowl shine and then after washing them the sheeting and beating pretty much kind of went away and after it rained for a couple days after I made that video the beating came back which is kind of weird so I'm thinking this has something in it that will mask it but it did the soap does work good but for doing a test like this it did mask it so that's what I'm thinking and that's what it looks like and then so yeah that's what we're doing for the update and then we would be doing is washing it with the Turtle Wax super foaming carwash right here I looked at it says high gloss on air shine but I looked on the back I didn't see anything if there's any wax or conditioners in it I don't think so but that's what we're gonna use and we'll do another water test before I wash it anything filthy and then what I'm gonna do - if it's showing signs of weakness and it looks weak like it's dying out on us what we're gonna do is I'm gonna rewash the car with their hybrid solution ceramic wash and wax and then if that's the case we'll see if this brings back that the ceramics break or by itself what this would this do because basically you know any time you use a ceramic even your ceiling you're gonna always want to maintain it with a drying aid you know or soap like this with waxing it or you know on the all details break like Turtle Wax I believe they're spray rash or Amex spray way stuff like that if you're using these line or your favorite kind of details break like a beatmaker stuff like that but for this test I try not to use those things I try to see how long this product will last for you guys and for me so we know how long it lasts and grant it any time you do use a booster these products are you know lasts longer for you and that's what you want anyway but this basically for the test I try to stay awake for that all right let me grab the get set up and we'll do a water test before washing all right we're gonna go flat we're gonna go on it hood like always all right makes it looks the same it's not bad really the beads are not round round got a little offshoot through it all right let me go to uh switch a different setting all right let's go to shower let me this when it's running off slowly plus the suits out of angle anyway I do have it on the windows getting a little bit of beating that could be someone that that's what I use in a washer fluid I used that rain-x it's all that's gonna help alright let's do more of a flat panel it's dead a little bit beaten on the fender seems like it always does window alright guy just chilling we do it's up to get some Sun yeah bet alright let's try it out the trunks it's pretty much flat oh man we think guys I think it's showing kind of showing that it might be failing a little bit let me try a different setting let's go flat we've granted it is the vehicle is dirty it's still there it's not as strong [Music] it's hard to say let's go missed nothing we'll wash it and then we'll go to messed again we'll do it again real quick yeah not much all right let's wash it up and then we'll do this water test again yeah Turtle Wax soap you can pick it up at advance all for $5 for that big jug that's pretty good right that Manik they clean those black sauce specs right off watch yeah no effort that's beautiful that's nice yeah right off no effort I barely have any pressure on this that is cool oh yeah this thing is hit this thing needs a detail those two guys I'm with the vehicle being this dirty I'm gonna change the water again so basically on bachelor hot water with the soap on one side and the other side I'm getting better to get a fresh some fresh water and plus to what I'll do is I'll take my mitt and I was rinse it off with the holes before I plugged in my buckets I'm only using one bucket I can figure out bringing up those tips cuz look up 30 don't stuff works great rinse it out I put in a bucket all right finally got washed up check it out it was good that's all - all cleaned up pretty good actually man it was filthy I know my tires are still dirty but it's gonna rain tomorrow night anyway I might do them anyway and clean it up and rinse it down a little bit but that's gonna rain it's gonna get filthy again in a day I mean I can do a little bit better job wash it but I came out pretty good I just do the water test and see what it looks like and see if we have to use the soap all right let's go you guys ready hmm sheep slowly right there let's do this do the door that's goal let's go to shower again see what looks like see the waterboxx mom she's enough I asked but it's not beating at all I'm the head of course the hood always takes the punishment that it's slow I think it's dying out what do you guys think will go missed over here maybe just my holes yeah you can see it let's go miss yeah I think it's pretty much it's there but not there you know I mean it's got some life into it laughs but not much let's see if we get a better angle over here for you guys we'll go missed right here no it's not b7 let's go flat it's you know it's 5050 I think it's some of it's still there but it's fading away I think maybe the way I'm looking at it and maybe it's hard to say maybe another two weeks to a month left in it I think it's done so yeah so I think what do you guys think it's not beating at all a little bit not much it's cheating but not fast yeah yeah it's dead pretty much yeah steer a little bit guys all right well like I said let's uh let's wash it yeah so let's wash it with the ceramic wash real quick and then we'll see what it looks like I might try it again and then do a lot of tests a little bit real quick but yeah I think it three months and with this harsh winter it uh it took it worked it out a little bit pretty good actually but yeah like I said though a few it still doesn't mean it's a bad product it's still a good product if you know my test I didn't use nothing to boost it but if you boost it you know once a month when you washed it every time you washed it use their the either two ceramic spray again use dirt a wash will check see if the wash helps or use their ceramic spray wax stuff like that will help boost it and keep it lasting longer this is just a real real test for my environment industrial environment and see what kind of how long it will last in my environment instead of you know they'll spray panels with may spray brake cleaner or they spray even brake fluid on there and you know stuff from the road um that's not gonna tell you how long the products gonna last I think it might give me a little idea the chemical strength of it but for if it's gonna last a month or two you know right here this is the way to go even if the product even fails on a panel test doesn't mean the products not gonna last in a real it all depends really all these tests just give us an idea of how long the products last and plus - I enjoy you don't test the stuff out like this in showing you guys all right I got the bucket empty let's wash it with this soap pretty much I'm not gonna go for the soap we'll do this and we'll do a separate video on this so right now I'm gonna add says I had three ounces your bucket I'm gonna shake it up real good and then we'll wash it we'll do a different video video on it when the vehicle is dirty and we can wash it and see how it does for cleaning and for a little bit of protection I can even do a different vehicle it has nothing on there but yeah I rather maybe put it in the foam cannon and and see how it does we'll make a couple videos on it all right let's get going all right make sure you guys need a watch with you how does fit a car that's pretty much job after this video that's pretty much be it for the ceramic spray I do want to do a detail a whole vehicle with all the products that's my plan for this vehicle since it's warm getting warm up I'm gonna for a product I'll do a video on it down be out here for a while one vehicle wanna wash the wife's deep spot the white Jeep today but make no videos just enjoy the process and then get ready to go play some hockey tonight all right I lost uh couldn't wash it up I lost the rough then won't show you to the hood hopefully you guys are out join the day getting some detailing on this I can watch it quick anyway one thing's for sure the car looks great now I mean clean wise it still has a nice cloth to it actually that's why I think so I think the product is still there it just is starting to break down pretty good so I'm thinking four months in my nasty environment you're gonna get out of it so which is fine you know for a product not expensive it works pretty decent and you can boost it all the time when you wash it and it will last longer all right well finish washing it with your other water test not a lot of test today any what the paint feel smooth I mean I don't feel no you know if I have to clean it I don't feel it I mean I can always do the bag test but man it feels nice still can't my dry it out for the second time would be three times today um what do you guys uh what are you guys getting out of it for your durability how long is it lasting for you if you guys are using this and are you using the booster products to the boost it their hybrid solution line you know there's wax and um wash and wax I'm sorry and their other sprays and stuff like that and to keep you boosted you're a ceramics break let us know or use it using a different product to keep it boosted the turtle wax for the spray yeah that's the only comments we all can read them and get some of them tips from you guys too man it does look nice still check it out it looks nice no yeah she's shining pretty good oh yeah I know that ding Sun always blocks my life right there yeah looks good got a nice shine it does look nice alright let's do that water test and see if it helped out but man it's clean and the paint's still smooth I know you're not supposed to touch it so scratched but oh yeah still smooth I'm telling you I don't feel nothing on that hood if I have to clay it I mean that's another thing too we can go by if the products still working is still there is it keeping your stuff off you know like if you got a clay it a man that's smooth and like I said that our debt was stuck on the door just washed right off with no effort I mean it was great it was awesome so I mean could be still there it's just that couple spots I feel it right here not too bad it's not that really a couple spots it's just a couple spots it needs to be clay it's not that bad actually that all so alright here we go a lot of tests from the soap that's helped it has slowed the beat in there from the bouncing shower dad is faster sheet knife now a little bit faster alright you guys think hope you guys watch the whole video to make you guys tell us what you think windows so it did help alright that's helped out so you know it's a little bit faster yeah it is she's not faster yep yeah shooting up a lot faster yeah do one more time yep all right all right yes eat it off a little faster so it did help there wash and wax Remmick washed and waxed so that's it I think that's it for the test for the ceramic spray don't make some videos on it when I do some on a detail when I use other products I want to use their own polish with the ceramic Center - cuz we have videos on using at the junkyard by hand so I'll have that manly you guys if you haven't seen it check that out hopefully I'll see you at that video you know I'll have mom at the end leaked some videos of the ceramic spray us applying it in our one month update we had two coats on it so it's been a little over three months - the first coat I put on Aaron at about two weeks after the first call two to three weeks at the first Glide put the second coat on because whether it was raining a lot and that's the results will go I'm thinking maybe you know three four months you know with not using is using a booster in my environment if you have a cleaner environment you know I mean like say if I put this on the truck you know the trucks really not exposed to that vironment once in a while um this product will last a lot longer you would get you know a lot longer than three to four months out of it that's my opinion on in anyway yeah a lot longer especially if you're using the products that are meant to be used with it to help boost that ceramic spray but this test was to see how long it lasts without it in my environment from an industrial environment that's it guys so yeah it's it's still good product for industrial vibrance not gonna last that long by itself can have to use a booster and if you're in a cleaner environment you'll get longer life out of it without the booster but always recommend that use the booster every time you use it unless you're doing stuff like this you want to test the products out and you guys come on you know do your own test and see what the results you guys getting I'm sure you guys do it and it just it's fun oops stepped on the nozzle but that's it guys alright so don't forget to comment and new here subscribe and like and comment yeah we do Auto Show videos in the Detroit area stuff videos like this a lot of detail videos car repair video some news and stuff like that but um I still got so more stuff I think when he gets trashed again filthy again we'll wash it with the ceramic wash and wax and see what it does to see if it cleans it up real well and they like if it's warm out maybe we can get it in a phone can into the same video and see how it does and then after I do that I got another product I want to test on here I'll probably do another remover and stuff like that I want to test this other product at f4 on here I want to see how long it lasts I'm there saying it lasts pretty good you know on some of the tests I guess I've seen on videos well we'll see how it lasts I want to put it on the dodge charger and see what it does for the color and mainly just to see how the gloss on it what kind of gloss I can get on that on this I want to see how long it lasts so I know I'm going on and on you guys thanks for watching this one I see that those other videos you guys have a great one later | Ouzo Lou Garage | UCM3BPuvSrGaEek3q7_RDtRg | 2020-03-15 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 3,503 | 16,938 |
Q6mtZc0hKUA | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6mtZc0hKUA | Tunnels Beneath The Great Sphinx Exposed? | hi guys so many theories have been put forward over the years as to the purpose of the pyramids this being a direct result of the lack of any real evidence for their function however what if I were to tell you that the pyramids were a sophisticated protection structure built to house a once functioning Stargate transport system a transport system or a machine that is still there I have found substantial Egyptian writings on highly developed knowledge of Earth the Stars life and death the acre Sphinx of the ancient Egyptians was a Divine leonine Beast having two symmetrical torsos each with its own head the two halves of the acre were located on opposite ends of the Horizon one lying to the East and one lying to the West according to the ancient Egyptians each breast of the acre contains a portal or Gateway leading to what they called an underworld the sun was believed to pass through the Eastern acre gate at Sunrise then at Sunset it would pass through the Western acre gate this would mean that there is another Sphinx with the use of remote controlled robots red ridings of an unknown language have been discovered within hidden tunnel systems beneath the Great Pyramids these tunnels led to four doors still with their seals interesting to note the tunnels in which these robots traversed are not big enough to fit a human yet they are scrawled in an unknown writing these markings were found in a pyramid that the egyptologists claim was built by Pharaoh Khufu almost immediately after this discovery Dr zahi hawas minister of Antiquities ordered that a wall be constructed around the pyramid complex supposedly to protect the pyramids from being damaged by the public it turns out that these tunnels may lead to the burial chamber of an Egyptian god known as Osiris it has also been reported by numerous sources that the U.S military and the CIA have been securing the pyramid complex along with the Egyptian Military the document on the Egyptian Mysteries by the 3rd Century teacher iamblicus describes the ceremony within the secret teachings into the mysteries of Osiris the science of will he states that a novice was blindfolded and led through a door in the breasts of the Sphinx through the gate that leads to a fourth place and it may have all been thanks to a deity known as Thoth who invented writing medicine magic and the Egyptian civil and religious practices and also the thing I believe they are hiding a way of communicating with a supposed dead god Osiris I suspect this was the creation of a portal he was said to have been a great magician who knew all that is hidden under the Heavenly vault with the help or teaching of another god Anubis he also created the first mummification rituals in Egypt these entities along with Thoth created something that protected the Moon and the Sun from destruction by the god Set if I'm correct in my translation then Osiris Anubis ra and many others came through a portal making them either an alien a God or dead set being a destructive Cosmic Force capable of destroying our sun and moon which Thoth managed to protect us from the physical remains of Osiris and I believe others too which could confirm my hypothesis have been found and covered up the tunnels mentioned earlier lead to Osiris's tomb however although this discovery is an astonishing one which could prove Osiris sat raw Etc to have been real beings it has been cloaked in secrecy no photographic evidence of remains exist and a military presence was immediately felt in the area after the find I now feel I have collected substantial evidence to suspect Egyptian and other authorities around the world are hiding a highly Advanced device or structure under the Pyramids of Giza and may span the African continent crisscrossing the Ley lines of Earth in the path of the sun with Egyptian secret teachings being openly accessible and telling of portals which are created with the help of gods Illustrated as non-human entities Osiris's tomb being exposed is discovered and shut away from the public unknown writings in impossible passageways it is only a matter of time before what is hidden is exposed to the world the Great Sphinx of Egypt is the largest stone monolith statue on Earth it took nearly 20 years to fully excavate the Great Sphinx since this time the Sphinx has undergone a lot of restoration no longer taking on the appearance of being unfinished or to the keeneride severely eroded why alter such an important artifact why not preserve them in their found state after all we have no idea of what the builders initially intended them to look like just how old are these statues are they even older than the pyramids I tend to suspect yes not only do they show evidence of Millennia of rainfall but also submersion under salt water but the most intriguing fact about the sphinxes is their hidden openings openings I suspect were the reason for the quote restoration one of the outcomes of these modern manipulations upon the most important ancient Monument on Earth was the concealment of hidden passages that dot the Sphinx's design many initial reports of the Sphinx included details of three or four openings around the Sphinx leading to complex tunnel systems containing tombs with alien artifacts something within these tunnel systems prompted the Egyptian government and even the CIA to step in and restrict access on the grounds of quote the nation's security what is a sphinx why choose this creature to devote such effort into creating a strange story about the Great Pyramid of Giza appeared in the March 2000 issue of the Egyptian magazine Rose L Youssef according to the article in 1988 French egyptologist Louis copperat discovered an alien mummy within a secret room found in a crystalline transparent case it was believed to be a hybrid which is a mix between an extraterrestrial race and human DNA a Papyrus found near the body tells of this being's encounter with the Pharaoh Khufu according to ancient code's anonymous source at the Egyptian Antiquities Department The Mummy of what appears to be an alien had inscriptions upon the tomb that showed that this was being a counselor to the Pharaoh and was named osserune meaning star or Sent From Heaven the body was said to have been buried with great respect and care and was accompanied by a number of strange artifacts made of a synthetic material that is not found in any other Egyptian tomb also the swords claimed it's unclear what sex it was but it had unusual reptilian type skin no external ears and overly large almond-shaped eyes The Source claimed that the discovery has caused Great controversy among Egyptian officials who want to keep it hidden until a plausible explanation for the strange mummy can be made numerous select Specialists had visited the site regardless of the wild claims there are indeed tunnels beneath the Sphinx and they have been covered up by authorities for some reason according to Author Peter Tomkin in his book secrets of the Great Pyramid some Arabian authors have reported that Alma moon found a sarcophagus with a stone statue in the shape of a man they say that within the statue lie a body wearing a breastplate of gold set with precious stones an invaluable sword on his chest and a carbuncle Ruby on his head the size of an egg which Shone like the light of day with many of the tunnels beneath the Sphinx being unexplored but according to geophysical surveys containing large unknown metal objects it is only a matter of time before Egypt's secrets are out in the open thanks for watching guys take care [Music] | Mystery History |

XQFwnxga8Eg | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQFwnxga8Eg | {BBTRL-BTSvlogs} #Vlogtober #Vlogaween Pieces of the Puzzle 4 | nine o'clock in the morning on octo Tuesday October 29th and it's time for uh this is the beginning of this is the first and it's time for the first segment of today's BTS vlog uh I just took a break from uh doing some research uh so I'm gonna do this now uh I've set things up so that uh as I was talking in the last segment before that uh I noticed as I was doing so yeah as I was doing the production notes for BTS Vlog that um and was able to kind of sort of keep track of the work that I have been doing during the day and I realized that as I was keeping track of this this work that now because it's possible to uh to actually sort of observe my schedule the things I set and really trying to sort of improve the scheduling of my work uh so that I can get more done during in other words it will get more done during the day in other words I'll be able to go back review the work that I've done and you know in a more organized fashion so uh that's what we're going to do is we're going to talk about in the first segments now the first segments is uh the first segments of every BTS Vlog we're gonna talk about the daily schedule and this is the things I plan to do today that are sort of on the schedule for today uh the first of which is uh working on innocent Vlogs insta Vlogs are the research notes that are that will be used eventually to uh create um uh documentary and it's also for other parts of the uh of of the research now this is where it gets a little um complicated not really complicated but difficult to sort of explain in more detail needs to be provided because in addition to providing notes for the for the documentaries and notes for the research uh the reason it also performs a function that because Vlogs are video logs uh they can be used in much the same way that you would write out a log or a journal if you were a scientist or or anyone who keeps a log or a journal so this is where the insta Vlogs are gonna are going to go they're going going to be in that sort of that notebook fashion so they're not going to be formalized they're not going to be really well put you know put together in such a way that uh they're going to be you know finished a Polish they're going to be a sort of a step up from uh the BTS Vlog the BTS Vlogs they're raw and unedited uh business Vlogs are gonna be wrong on edited except they're going to be more research oriented here we're talking about on the BTS Vlogs we're talking about things that are going on behind the scenes uh the scheduling um uh the progress of a particular project or or not or or the beginnings of a new project developing New Concepts uh that's all going to be here uh the actual research when we're taking our notes and this is where this uh I have open screen now is I have uh uh documentaries out there for uh the quantum psychology Quantum psychology is a Reformation of psychology based on the principles of quantum mechanics in that rather than doing uh uh theoretical uh psychology which was which is done primarily out of the universities uh uh theoretical psychology uses theory that leads uh to experimentation in other words experimentation is not done to uh create exploration but rather than answer and uh to uh demonstrate uh specific uh theories within psychology in other words uh most academics today uh are Theory driven and the experiments simply support the theory so experimentation is fit into Theory uh Quantum psychology kind of reverses this and says that experience leads theory in other words it's the experience allows you to develop Theory not the theory is supported or or theory is supported by uh uh by experimentation in other words you don't fit experimentations to the theory you fit the theory to the experimentation uh and that's sort of the way things go and then this is what we're gonna do for uh chronic psychology is fit the psychology in an observational format uh to uh uh basically an idea of quantum physics that we have we can go beyond uh our own understandings of the physical Universe into the metaphysical universe and make a connection between the metaphysics and quantum mechanics in other words quantum mechanics and quantum physics physics the observation uh uh the observational evidence from there allows us to sort of extend into this this point here and that's kind of where we're going to go with the uh is the Vlogs and research notes but instabox and research notes are going to be more than just the content that's just sort of one of the one of the uh facets of it right now we are going to get into areas like like uh news political science uh there's gonna be Oceanic or oceanographic and Atmospheric research uh there's gonna be geology in other words anything that involves the research that is going on here the different bits and pieces of the research puzzle here uh will being brought into instant Vlogs and you'll see how they end up being categorized uh as we move on Down the Line uh the next thing that's up over the schedule for today is uh work on the University I still have to work on the admissions and campus portals I finished the graphics for it so that's all done now I just have to go in and fix up the portals themselves uh that will lead into uh work on uh Academia the the Aku uh TV in other words the University's TV channel will also be sort of worked on today and in conjunction with that uh because we do have to work on the production schedules on that uh that means we'll be working on cyborg Alpha TV and so to improve the production schedule in other words let's make sure that we get our work done when we need to get it done in other words uh we I have been lagging behind in my production the production schedules haven't been as good as they should be and this is what we're going to work on now is bringing the production schedules up to the point uh where they need to be and this is sort of what will be done throughout the day and I'll come back and uh comment on things uh uh a little later on a couple hours into the day and let you know how things are going anyways it looks like we're heading out for another 12 hour date so we'll see where where we end up all right see you in the next segment what's up as I said before with uh new here comes the mistake again let's hope the battery doesn't die basically it's noon I'm going food shopping and this is the new camera I have now so go food shopping with this is why I got a new camera to do vlogging with BTS vlogs and the travel camera became that camera so anyways this is my food shopping root seen this before so now it's on but I made a bit of a mistake and that mistake was I forgot to charge the camera and the battery seems to be almost dead so we'll end up having to see what I'm able to film and for how long uh uh well anyways even get a little bit of uh filming in with the new camera that'll be kind of a good thing anyways see you at the first stop performing issues is always the case but once again I'm going to the department store here's the department store I'm going to and once I go down there to go through see what's available and go from there I just want to make sure that my uh hand isn't covering the microphone so it looks sound records this is certainly an interesting uh distraction as you as you walk one of the reasons to go to these department stores is to get things for cheap and that's exactly what I got so I'm not on my way to TNT and I should be able to remember the Vlog when I get there so I'm walking down the street here it's the church that they're building the St Mark's it's a copter Cathedral Coptic Church meaning the coptics are the uh Egyptians who were Christians way before the Muslims came so yeah so I got this uh cool little strap thing for my uh the camera this is it here is the strap thing I got this once the camera is done with the no and needs to be put away it can go into there no particular issues so I didn't check to see what time it is but the department store you know I usually every time every time I go there I always get something so I'll show you some of the stuff when I get back to the office but right now I'm heading over to TNT okay so okay I'm here at TNT now and I remembered the Vlog so this is the shopping mall I'm gonna go with the Shoppers Drug Mart first and see if they'll get anything going on here and then from shoppers drug marts I'll check out to the stores along the way here I'm on my way back home now I keep forgetting to check and see what time it is but uh nonetheless I have we'll sort of give you a view of the whole place there we go this is a nice view I think the image the image that will come out of here will be much better than what we had before and so far the batteries lasted so yay for that anyways see you back not the research desk this is an interesting shot leaves on the ground when I started walking this morning it was really cold or at least I thought it was cold because when you sit around a lot and your body gets cooled off it's cold but as you walk things start to warm up your body heats up and if you end up hot so but the good thing for the cold is that uh it's around so easy to cool yourself off when it's hot out it's almost impossible to do that so in terms of walking cold is better than hot anyways see you back in the place alrighty it's the uh last segment for uh the October 29th October 30th uh BTS Vlog it's just about eight o'clock in the morning and uh what happened yesterday yeah that's weird anyways there's another issue with the uh the timer um well so what happened um we're yeah what ended up happening when I got back from food shopping yesterday it ended up crashing so that left that uh uh I didn't get the work done on the University and I didn't get the work done on cyborg Alpha in terms of uh the playlist but I did actually work on the production schedule and try out some of the new production schedule and does seem to work better than it did before uh it's just a matter of sort of continuing on with that with president again today uh later I should say later on today as we get the day started what ended up happening and just kind of realized were some of some of the issues lie in keeping the production schedule and keeping anything on schedule and you know the daily schedule done is that sometimes the research rubbed longer than expected in other words you find a certain amount of information and as you go through and you examine the information you expect to take a certain amount of time to go through it you understand that it will take a certain amount of time and you estimate okay I will finish at 10 A.M and you know after doing two hours worth of study you'll finish at 10 A.M and you'll be able to do some of the filmmak so you schedule the filming uh unless I had done this particular filming for insta Vlogs for the cybernetics Vlog on this whole thing on Quantum psychology I said to do uh do the uh at least one segment and what happened is that 10 a.m became 11 A.M 11 A.M became 12 am 12 p.m that's when it did the first segment and after that I went food shopping so uh it wasn't exactly as planned uh there was a two hour delay because as I got to the end of uh the research that I was working on I ended up finding some more information more hidden information that I had to go out and get so and then go out and get on the research desk here I don't mean physically go out and get and going out and getting those extra bits and pieces which was well well worth it uh took that extra two hours in other words I had it had an ad on top of the two hours but I did already I already had a I had an extra two hours to do that work so uh that's where the delay comes in sometimes sometimes you know if if you're doing that research and you say okay I'm gonna give myself x amount of time to work on the research and but what happens if that research that you're doing starts to extend itself in other words you start finding more pieces of the puzzle that you have to go chase those pieces of puzzle you have to go get them while they're still in fresh in your mind while they're still there because sometimes this is this information that you have to go get isn't always there all the time sometimes it's there for a bit and it's deleted and you won't get that piece of information again so you have to go when when you see it you have to go get it and that extends your time that on your research that it extends the amount of time that you that you plan to do so if you plan to do two three hours at in a chunk and all of a sudden you start finding extra bits and pieces that you can go out and get and say oh let me go do that before I do anything else well you could you could blow six hours just like that and that's kind of what happens is that you know six hours will disappear chasing down leads chasing down bits of information that will add into what I'm working on so uh this isn't something that's kind of uh laughs uh productive if you want if you want to be working to your schedule in other words if you're a schedule a schedule schedule-minded person you want to always work at a schedule then this type of research open-ended research where you were you have no idea what's going to come in when uh really isn't this is good for your schedule so it's not gonna be uh what you need it to be uh so that's kind of what happens and then afterwards uh I said I went food shopping but the thing is if you spend uh anywhere between four to six hours straight on the research that you do you work straight and I can't remember when how much time I spent doing that research uh when you get up your days you you you're a mental fatigue that sort of sets in and then when you go walking I do food with food shopping it I left at 12 o'clock I got back around 2 30 3 o'clock that's a three hour hike uh I had food on my back in the backpack and you'll sort of see this in the you'll see this in the video video uh in today's video you'll see you you would have seen that and uh it really does take a toll on you so when I get back when I got back by four o'clock the crash set in and that was it uh and I think this is well I say that was it but more does go on during the crash and do get up in in periods and do extra things but I haven't got the reporting yet Point yet where I film these things so uh we'll see what happens if if I try to start filming them more as you can see more what happens in between these crashes uh but uh that being said uh we're gonna start the day all over again in a couple hours uh I just gotta do some cleaning up right now and then once the cleaning up is done uh the day will get started again and uh we'll see what we can accomplish today all right take it easy

CVKzznds12Y | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVKzznds12Y | Maps w/ Trent: Cold Mac & a bundle of functions | [Music] now the the breathing the breathing computer will begin today like jumping around thinking of a bunch of different things to do so the general outline that I'm thinking about is that I want to stop by kind of doing like a I'm gonna do that by like basically recreating it with fur that's the stock then I will also want to talk about the span Succot which is very similar to the internet control in some ways dress pants but specifically looking at the three sisters and how it does the moving three filters with two controls and this idea of having a small number of inputs that have the reaching and then basically in the probably in the second hour I kind of want to get into there's a couple ideas hey what have one thing I want to do is I'm sure how incredibly simple and quick it is to do implement chaotic a little algorithms okay but also I want to look at like the idea of kind of creating your own utility modules [Music] creating other sets of one or two inputs to a number of outputs because I think that there's a lot of kind of interesting things you can do there and you can make musical gestures I think a lot more accessible in a live context if there's only one or two a small number presence maybe maybe two is not enough to do the whole thing obviously but ami I think sometimes when you boil stuff down like that you can get these really interesting performative gestures [Music] tactile experience when you're performing because you're not so worried about breaking things are easier to know what turning a certain control is going to want a certain control ball just come to that's an idea so but also I wanted to say like one thing I'm really excited about with Crowe is that you can kind of make it be a lot of things so if anybody has certain kinds of if there's certain kinds of utilities there's a certain module that you're really interested in that you wish you could understand or that you wish there was like some way above exploring what it would be like to use that and that does does not be a direct module it can be kind of any processor that focuses on triggers and CV modulation yeah let me know let me know in the comments like do the at Trent Lee I'll read it and we can try and we can try and recreate some of those things I think the the very brief scripting on kro tutorial that's on in the mono got all dogs it kind of goes into creating some of the I think at least I intended it to maybe it never got yeah recreating some of the source of uncertainty Buchla module mom with her so kind of ideas like that where it's like you don't have to recreate the whole module like piece to piece but to be able to take a creative idea and kind of encapsulate it in a small small chunk of the script so if you have any ideas for later in the episode in terms of white code colemak there's so many good good reasons for it and nobody's ever got it right and there is a barking dog I have the window open today because it's nice yeah okay so at the moment this patch I'm not sure what so one thing I wish that I still use Apple computers because they have really good built in cameras which this thing bad absolutely doesn't but it's it's all I've got right now so I'm sorry that the in the video quality is not better but this patch currently is a single mangrove that's the sound generator and it's being being modulated by just friends but it's passing in two three three sisters modules in parallel which is pretty ridiculous but um then I'll just mixing into the cold Mac so I'm just using this is kind of like a volume control at the moment they're all tuned pretty close together I think we can you can demonstrate this yeah so they're all oscillating now it's just it's just the Santa band informant mode and they're all pretty much matched so I think we're gonna start doing the spam thing first because it's a really simple really simple thing to do to control it I don't know if I have enough stack cables I don't know if I have anything actually we'll try and uh we'll try and make it work with with this one month that I have basically were going to recreate the spam control with with Kroy really quickly it might already be obvious to you kind of how it works but I'm just gonna write like just write it out for the full the exercise of showing just how simple it is so let's make a new file we're gonna save this as spam obviously complain but okay so the idea is input one is going to be frequency output one two three so that's the that's the energy eight called maximum oh yeah I know and I deserve to be arrested for that okay so we're gonna start with going to knit function maybe that's all you need to do a couple things so in order to get this to work we need to plug in I'm gonna use two different cold max just as just as a big knob so input 1 appears gonna be frequency this down here is gonna do the span set them both the 0 volts for now that frequency down so in order to do this we're gonna need to basically scan both of the inputs out of control rate but we can do it with them with just a single time and the easy way for that for that is just use the input stream mode so I'm just gonna start it on the first channel we're gonna set this mode to be yeah we'll do it this way stream I'm gonna set a really fast rate so this is every 10 milliseconds you could go faster but this will this should be illustrative for our purposes it won't work an audio rate but it'll be fine for kind of turning to knobs so this lines gonna turn on the first input it's gonna like basically give it give it a timer to to trigger a reading of the input and for that to work we need to create a function to kind of receive that information so every time that 10 millisecond timer occurs we're gonna call this function which is gonna give us a voltage and then we're going to use that yeah inside of here we're gonna basically do a whole program so that's gonna mean setting the output voltage three channels so we're gonna set them to all all to zero for now and I'm just gonna have to get up here by making sure we're gonna set the slew time of each output to equal the same amount of time as the the clock in the stream and the the reason we do that is basically it should give us a continuous kind of shape for every stage so yet between each metro tick in the stream engine we'll get like a consider interpolated output so we shouldn't get kind of stepping us so we're gonna upload that and it's not gonna do anything syntax error does it not exist I think I put this in the wrong folder okay there we go so it should be running right now but it's not doing anything because we're just outputting zero volts but we need to plug in these the filters before it'll do anything pod in the cardboard box sounds so I'm just trying to figure out the most logical way to patch it all these controls are going to go straight into the frequency inputs and excuse my reach we said low center high it really doesn't matter at all we'll try and do it somewhat logically so I'm just turning the volume back up and you'll see like the ostlers haven't changed tuning and they're all still kind of pretty close together they're not perfect obviously but that should work okay I think the next step is we're basically going to use that first input to control the frequency so let's just apply the two or three outlets and now we're controlling all three modules frequency cut off with this one control [Music] so that's that's the first part now we need to somehow implement this the second control to do the spanning so rather than set up another timer we we can just directly query the input level and that's going to be we'll make a local variable to kind of capture that value and you can just do it with input it's the second input and we can just ask for the box and the really cool thing is all I think all we have to do here is output one is the low frequency so it does some tracks and output three is the high frequency so we're gonna add and [Music] one of those are the attitude [Music] Yeah right that's it that's the whole thing so now we have this control where we easily got to emulate the spam control through systems and I think if we do it what week what we can do here is like obviously on three sisters they don't all quite clean together like King precisely to each other there's no like offsetting but in here we could kind of lock it to octaves so in order to do that we can just say span equals the map for us and that'll basically lock it they're not all tracking perfectly but that's because they're coming these these are the reject modules now the fun thing here is because and this is just a little little fun extra this is kind of all I wanted to show but um because we can I'm just going to change it into basically taking the all output of all lovers [Music] shorts deciding [Music] so now we've got nine filters that is interesting [Music] like swarm of built it's fun we can turn we can turn the power of oscillation learn and just send some signals in this is Justin mangrove it's got a little bit of modulation have this giant mega [Music] anyway that's that's number one cool all right frogmen that is exactly right um so that's the first thing I guess I guess I just really wanted to show how the real magic of three sisters is just this um you know I mean the filters sound nice too but it all kind of comes down to this this idea I think at least informant mode the the cross I was a little different but it's kind of nice when it's when you realize that it's actually pretty simple how to UM kind of get that spreading effect and I think the one cool thing that you could do here is because there's four outputs on kro you could make it five bands and you probably don't have five filters in a modular case but I think it can work with all the parameters I think especially with oscillators you could do kind of detune and that's an interesting way to do that but especially doing the kind of quantization so and again that's kind of that's gonna change with the next CRO update which has the kind of in Bill scale quantizing stuff but even now you could just like wrap each of each of these in like a function but this could just be a function that quantized voltage and you know the easy easiest thing to do is just say you can just do that the floor thing again to get like even volts as we showed before is just just doing this you'll probably want to add 0.5 I was talking with Dan decks palace today how when you quantize something you first need to like offset it to the middle of well whatever you offer your window is otherwise you never know it'll be like right on the boundary of what you want and once that below it but that's for another time but I think it would be really interesting to do to do that with like a spread on oscillators where they would be all different basically scale tones and you could kind of like spread out your scale let's spread out your homes um but that's another point oh I just escaped that gave me a thought we should do maybe next week we should do a session on voicing and kind of interesting ways on voicing especially when you're not playing stuff on a keyboard I think it's one of the more under considered elements of sequencing and sounds and stuff but we'll get there next time because I'm not prepared to do that and I think that's some research required before that okay so let's make a new file does anybody know how to like make a new buffer and Bend without having to like make a new one then close the old one if you do don't tell me because I'll be embarrassed I'm just kidding okay we're gonna do we'll call it we'll call it Mac because calling it called MacOS may be like not quite true because it's only gonna do a small set of subsets of the actions emulating a small subset I'll call back SP okay I'll keep that in mind why is it SP doesn't make sense is it trough or something you all right this is good I'm gonna save all of your comments and decide who's who's who's the most correct which is really to say which one I like more um okay so with Cormac the thing I really want to talk about is the thing that made me design it in the first place which is the idea of having a like a macro control for a modular system and specifically because you know a case like this there's so many destinations for modulation that you can't possibly like have a control for every single one and know what they're all doing at the same time that feels kind of untenable to me like my brain definitely can't manage that many different things at once so one idea for kind of getting around that is to have a macro control which allows you to sweep numerous different parameters at the same time with a with a simple interface into it so I mean if you want to think of it from a computer you perspective that's like it's an abstraction over a number of a number of parameters in the same way that frequency and span are an abstraction over the frequencies of three different filters it means you can do the same with um you can do this you can't do the same thing but you can do a subset of what you can do with three knobs with two and I think you can do it in an interesting a way that would be near impossible to do with the individual knobs it would be to be able to sweep the frequency at the same time as the span I like tip yeah you couldn't use all three fingers to do that I can't imagine doing it at least so similar to that cold mac has the all the opposite on the right hand side and I'm gonna pull this whole thing apart because it doesn't really make sense what we're about to do I hope nobody's offended by the way that I pull all these cables out so one of the irony here is we're gonna use a cold Mac has the control to sweep through the different functions but we're just gonna walk through the sequential different steps in cold Mac let me bring up a I really can't even type my own website that's quite funny to me I can't find my cursor okay ooh nice high-res yeah okay so we're going to talk about kind of each output sequentially um the first output is actually exactly the same as the input to survey added with the knob but but before we do before we do this piece by piece the idea is you turn this control and each output gives you an independent curve and so it allows you to kind of do different sets of motion and they and they typically work in pairs so the idea is the first two controls are like a rise in a fall in a way that you get this kind of crossover pattern and there's a number of kind of natural ways of thinking about that it's like very natural to do panning to do cross fading [Music] also to do I mean it's essentially the fun part of the span control it's kind of the rise and the fall wrapped around a zero point so they work as app together then you have the next two which are these kind of they're called logic functions but they're analog so it's kind it's not boolean logic it's like this it's a weird subset which is I feel like analog logic is kind of a fake thing but um it's more of a maximum and a minimum and I think that's the kind of correct way to think of it rather than Endon or just fit better on the panel I think I can't remember what I was thinking four years ago when I need it um but they're really interesting because you can basically say this knob is only going to affect things above twelve o'clock and below twelve o'clock which kind of feels good so you could say like using 1/2 you know when I turn to the to the clockwise direction I'm gonna add harmonics in this certain way and when I go anti-clockwise I'm gonna do the same thing for a different voice so I'm gonna cut things away with the filter but having that 12 o'clock point be kind of a nothing zone like no modulation so that's one thing you can also do interesting stuff with it at audio rate and then the this next one is an absolute value the final one done in the first column is it's called a I call it crease it's basically just the the input map to the output but it kind of wraps around so you kind of shift everything below 5 sorry everything below 0 which is to say 12 o'clock on the dial you shift it up into the positive region whereas before it was in the negative and everything in the positive you shift it down and that gives you this discontinuity around that kind of that middle zone I think it's interesting it has a it has a kind of nice and bizarre wave shaping sound to it but I think it's also it's cool to be able to maintain the the right slope to match the kind of the traditional knob movement but to have it operate in two different zones than you would expect with just a linear range then there's also these other two outputs which are temporal which is to say that our about time the first one is a is called follow it's just an envelope follower essentially it's I just I just sold this circuit from the 2600 because it's it's a nice thing so basically just like adds some Slough to everything but it's also full wave rectified which is the same as the absolute value in this control next to it and then the final control location is an integrator right so it will take the it will basically treat the dial or the CV as as a velocity and it will kind of track it'll keep it'll move in that direction where so if it's a little bit positive it'll move slowly positive it's in a slow it's slowly hitting the gas and if it's negative you'll slowly start reversing back down and it'll be it'll be clamped at plus five and minus five so that's the general idea you can't control how fast that is that you only control it by what the voltages but I think we can recreate all of these functions in probably one line each so maybe the best way to do that let's just make a Bank of functions in the arguments an input voltage which is hmm what is it gonna be it's really just there's only one there's only one argument it's just the input and then the output is going to be some transform transform version input so we're gonna write one for each row and then let's see how far you can get with that so the first is it's called left on the panel so we'll just start with that gonna take a leaf of voltage and it's going to return surprise V so it takes in one value and it returns the exact same value so that's that's a really nice easy one next we've got right and the trick here is it's minus V so plus 1 becomes minus 1 really basic next we have or which lure doesn't like us to use capital and the thing here is already takes two two levels in as inputs but in our context with with just using the dial like this to do what I called patch surveillance it's really just treating that number the second number is zero volts so it's saying all should give us the maximum of two inputs so it'll be math.ceil which is the ceiling of volts and 0 now and it's going to be very similar and it's going to be math.floor and that's going to give us the lower of two values of the zero yeah that's correct next we get to do on the panel it's called slope which really not entirely sure why if somebody wants to inform me why I made that decision I'm all ears and in this case we get to do another fancy mathematical function which is got absolute so the absolute value we'll just basically give turn a negative into a positive value but positive stays positive so it's just going to be absolute of V and then we have priests so we want to maintain the right voltage but if we're below zero we want to add five volts and if we're above zero when I subtract five volts so we can do that with our ternary function which is to say it's kind of doing a conditional in-1 line of code and so essentially we're going to return the voltage and that's going to maintain our slope a gradient but then we want to do we want to conditionally add or subtract some offset so let's say plus and now we get to do ad tannery which is going to say if the voltage is greater than zero and then in lua you use basically and to be the first result so if the if the conditional is true then and will be true and that basically is again doing a logic thing because the conditional is true and basically says if there is any value here other than nil and will result in true if the conditional was true so we can write our value and then otherwise it'll basically evaluate through into the all section because the condition was not true therefore the thing after and never gets evaluated and we move straight on to the all path so if the voltage is above zero we're going to add negative five so that's actually going to subtract five or we're going to add five volts to a negative value and that's the crease the time-base ones are a little more difficult so that's some kind of leave them for now but um we can let's try these out just to just to make sure so let's say get an init function we're going to do the exact same thing as last time which is to treat the first input as I continuous voltage and we're going to again sample it zero point zero one which is 10 milliseconds and we're going to now define our event or the input stream just gonna give us a voltage and we're going to assign that to an output so let's do the output one to start with I'm gonna drop back off here and add the add that automatic slew time again all that setting up the sweet home so again equaling this time value am I going to set output 1 voltage to equal whatever our function we choose with voltage passed in so let's start with the left which is really just echoing the input to the other [Music] so I'm just using a mangrove here and the goal yeah so now we have this this kind of control unit which is attached to the input number one is driving output number one and it's turning up the the sorry it's turning up the air control voltage to increase the volume of this mattress so let's rather than just change it let's just add a couple extra voltages so why don't we say two three and four so we can have one B right let's do slope will decrease as well so they're all going to take that same input voltage V and they're going to apply a different function to it so volume still working next we have basically the inverse so as I turn the volume up [Music] something's not good about Maurice look at that so as I'm turning up the volume it's turning down the format control [Music] next crease isn't gonna work so we'll come back to that but slope should still work and we can use that to control I guess barrel is the obvious one why don't we change this so instead we're gonna control we're gonna take the air control out I was instead we're gonna control that with this absolute value so now twelve o'clock is gonna be zero and either direction it's gonna give us some volume I just attached left shoot the barrel good roll so we got these like two totally different Abbas on either side of the control lastly we have this issue with crease I'm curious yeah um okay let's look at this era hopefully that will help us solve the her solve the question attempt to perform arithmetic on a boolean value [Music] yeah there we go okay there's the problem so and so now we get to control users last Crees up what to do something interesting which could be [Music] why don't we attach the second mangrove as a frequency modulating input [Music] and we're going to use the crease to control the format control on this matter of here so that's gonna give us an interesting please hopefully interesting different set of characteristics [Music] so you can hear here cleaning up that discontinuity between the like crumbly low sound why hi Ralphie [Music] tah-dah okay um that's kind of all I wanted to do with the kind of emulation of cold Mac just because it's there's a lot to it but I think that's like kind of the main the main characteristic so but I mean that's what that what is what created the idea nutritional zero is asking about the genesis of cold Mac and the reality is uh I had that idea of a macro control and I started basically laying out a number of functions that I thought would be interesting and in doing that figuring out the implementation from a electronics perspective made me realize that each of these functions that I wanted to have it do were themselves interesting circuits and most of the time they only needed one or two extra jacks to enable them to be used as isolated blocks so that's where it started from it was originally it was just gonna be the the right column of jacks and then because I've been doing the the diagonal layout which is kind of it's it's how I was doing like the control voltage stuff like all the CV inputs on mangrove and three sisters they had that corrugated pattern it basically put me in a position where I had the survey input and then all these rows like this and I was like well there's one more output what should it be and that's where this idea came about of having a Mac which which really comes from the DSP concept of multiply accumulate which is kind of how you do convolution and things but it's it's very similar to how you how you make a mixer you just don't have to do it all all together so the Mac it made sense to be like well it can just be the addition about everything down the left side and that it is AC coupled which is hopefully that means that you can you can still send in control voltage signals in that left column and have them not dominate the output they weren't like completely shift everything but yeah I mean that was the idea of the Mac and it was just like well cool we can just add a BCA and now it's like a mixer even though it only has a global level it doesn't have a per channel level but yeah I mean that's the kind of genesis of it I guess the I think the follow and the location outputs the envelope follower I was really hoping to get in there because to me it's a really interesting perspective it's an interesting function to have and to enter it you don't really always need a whole module with like attacked and decay times and like everything like this to do it to do an envelope follower you really just have like a typical one and then if you want to get fancy you can use a more powerful slew generator module and there's plenty of those to choose from but this was like well I can add one jack to this module I'm already building and it can have a envelope following and I think the location came about just because I once I put the envelope follower in I was like I wanted to have some characteristic that is temporal that's more than just like a slew that is envelope following and that's kind of one thing I found really interesting about cold Mac is like using the location control and especially using it in feedback I'm still convinced that there's a way to make it oscillate with with with without just there's like there's a noisy oscillation that people are playing with in kind of some things around that I think with - it's really easy you can just plug location into the crease input and then feed that back I feed it across back the other module into survey but just wanting to have that like lots of different transfer functions and then have some element that makes it kind of structured in time so that's the kind of kind of origin [Music] the black modules that well this one they're mostly purple this is an old Google thing I was playing with it's all just like prototype he stuff it's nothing nothing that will ever be a product order of operations Oh someone's asking do I need the parentheses here please you absolutely do not I'd like to put them in whenever I'm doing an inline conditional when it's not the only thing between like an if and then just because I find it easier to kind of recognize that's what it is that's [Music] inside baseball called Mackin mult makes it awfully yeah I don't have finally I had more than one month we could we could make a tossed Elena's wait we can try that patch really quickly I think it could be fun um will do I think these ones up here work so it's gonna be location crease output of crease in degrees I hope this will all stick I'm sorry [Music] somehow these called max might not even work I'm not sure they're just perhaps I've misunderstood the patch oh because this no longer works we have to plug this I'm not sure if you can hear that it's definitely oscillating but uh I guess it's too quiet it seems surprising that it wouldn't be blisteringly loud but I guess I guess it's not anyway that was a nice idea we'll get that one day somebody will figure it out is there a way to make call back into a wave folder not in the traditional like frequency multiplication sense well like yeah when it like passes over a threshold it'll flip it back down you might be able to do something but you probably need like three of them which seems like mega overkill for doing wave folding maybe I'll do I'll do one week I'll just do like a hundred patches with callback but yeah okay well let's move on so so there's a couple things here the first is that when we look at this file in here we have this big set of functions and I think that there's something to be said about having like a number of small functional blocks like this that kind of do a category of the same thing but slightly different one thing that's really interesting is basically being able to assign them dynamically so at the moment we have to change the code down here to like apply a different function but one thing we could do instead is we could do it with a table and I think this is kind of an interesting thing where you can get into to get into how do you say you could kind of get into sequencing all the different functions and and rather than have a cold Mac that is you know it's six rows of functions that are all always gonna be the same thing one input source a mount put using a coded version there's a crow style version you can kind of dynamically reassign those things and so every you know you could put that on a timer so on or as part of a sequence where each step through you would like you could cycle or something all the different pieces so we could make a table of the different functions and well maybe better than that yeah rather than a table of the functions themselves we could have a table which are the outputs I'm still not sure this is necessary well you could have a list and now the cool thing is done we should call this a something better than list we call it F list for a function list and now we have a number here that can kind of choose and we could just do this and that'll kind of index into our value but that's just made everything more opaque which I don't think is the desire here but we could then kind of have like a mapping table where you could say the out functions again these names are not very good but and like now you could have a table that kind of like lists says as I'm typing this I'm realizing it's not actually helping us at all why don't we we could why don't we sequence it DuckTales like something more interesting so in order to do that we need to have like a some kind of time base I'm trying to decide if this is actually what we should be working so maybe you can let me know in the comments like one thing like maybe there's a couple different kind of paths we can go down one is this idea of sequencing functions which I feel like we've covered on some point in the past and another thing we can do is just kind of come up with new functions to kind of extend the extend the range of things we can do so we can do stuff that cold Mac can't we can kind of have this like big list of utility functions and then you can just kind of customize your own you can customize your script by just basically assigning the right function that you want into the output Channel having able to output its dolls be like last week's unfinished sequencing which I still haven't finished well I kind of did but uh it required a change to the firmware because of some things that were broken and I'm sorry I don't want to spend too long um extend call back yeah but I think if we just have a bunch of utility functions these are all one input one output functions but we could ostensibly try some two input one output or two input two output functions and then it's kind of it's a natural combination I think of the like synthesizer bits and the coding language you know like when you talk about code you're often thinking in functions you're thinking in you know a black box that does a thing with an input and gives you an output um so I think that is like a an interesting way to think about it so yeah why don't we think about what other functions we could have here so the question is what can we do so maybe one thing we can look at is you'll note here that a number of these functions are just just from the math library at Newark um the integrator we can do that okay so let's make a list of things were going to do so math functions time functions so integrator but we can also do the end us differentiate em and one thing I would love to touch upon is chaos functions that typically gonna be sometimes I don't even need an input but it can be like an offset so yeah we can do we can at least do one I want to look at the gingerbread man so let's look at math functions now the easiest way to do this is look at this it's it's right fodder for playing with so lots of fun stuff here so oh one thing that I think is really interesting and it's really cool that crow can do is treat trigonometry and like that's sure you'd be like oh math but just doing sine functions and cos functions and tan you can do really interesting stuff you can also do it to map Cartesian coordinates into polar coordinates which i think is perhaps a really interesting interesting task I don't know that I can do that on the fly but uh let's write it down - but is there anything else here let me know he'd see anything you want to play with division is something that's really difficult in analog so why don't we try a division function we'll do like a 1 over the input voltage wow that was so easy I love it what's a cool synth thing you could use the trig functions for that is a good question I think that one thing that it would allow you to do is use a different control interface so if you have a if you have a set of parameters that you could think about as X Y maybe that's like the frequency and span control of three sisters rather than controlling them independently as like frequency and span you could instead have them as like a polar thing where you say you basically describe a vector of like do I want to be but you could have like a magnitude and an angle and it'll just give you a different way of controlling that same set of stuff wave shaping is the most obvious you could also do wave shaping that would be cool one of the hard things about Crowe is that it's typically only operating at a control rate so it's hard to do audio rate functions that add a lot of harmonics because they're gonna get lost in the low sample rate that you're gonna be operating at but definitely wave shaping of LFOs that is very true let's listen to this division function I have no idea what it's gonna if even gonna work we'll definitely get like a divide by zero but I think I think Loula will take care of that for us so that's currently on the barrel control but I think that's let's make it something more interesting let's control the pitch that's really high [Music] this seems seems to seems to seems to not be doing the thing right oh it's because well this clearly doesn't make sense yeah okay so this is an interesting idea it's kind of like Greece so we're taking the number one and we're dividing it by the value of an input voltage so this is 1 over 5 as we approach zero it's gonna go to infinity just gonna be this like hi spawn and that's really love so if you know the the one the one over X graph can I do this with my hands it's a this one where you have this piece down here and then invert in you guys like this one up here oh my god this really doesn't work here we go it looks like this and so you can hear that with the pitch [Music] collateral that's a something I don't know if that's interesting but uh it's it's something that you'll very rarely see in a modular system because typically that stuff is um only it's not really possible in analog or if it is it's like really inaccurate and it won't do negative values like that just it it'll only give you that one quadrant at the top so that's one how what else could we do I like doing these things that are kind of not typically possible in the analog realm just because they're more interesting but we can also do other stuff so why don't we why don't we look at these time functions so let's try and write an integrator gonna give myself the luxury of more than one line because it might make it easier to think about so if you look up this is often how I like figure out how to implement something is just look at the Wikipedia page or math is fun that sounds like a good idea integration okay so area under the curve that's what you can think of it us so it's basically gonna be we're gonna be like adding more and more space under the curve so if we set so in this graph here if the input voltage was set down at this level and it stayed there the area under the curve would continue to grow you know because this graph extends out infinitely in time so the longer we stay there the more area under the curve area under the graph under the curve that phrase really doesn't make sense I don't know why they teach that to kids but in order to implement that let's let's do this DSP integration algorithm this is stuff that you like a lot of people will just know how to rack this but sometimes it's nice to know you can just search and as I say that I'm having a hard time finding a simple version but I kind of want it to I guess I can just tell you what it is even though that doesn't feel like it's as interesting why didn't one over zero throw an error because Lua just calls it infinite and I think when you send an infinite value out and it gets clamped to a value it's gonna be clipped it I think is gonna get clipped at ten by the D by the hardware so it'll it won't turn her that's a terrible explanation of something an integrator I believe is going to be we're gonna need a state in here to remember something so we could make a local value in here but I think it's gonna that's gonna get overwritten every time we call this so instead we need and and how a variable it can be local to this function letter this file um but it can't be local to this function because then it'll just get overwritten every time but um we'll just keep it global because then I don't have to worry if I'm wrong so in order to figure this out we're gonna say we're gonna return a value which is kind of what all these functions have to do which is going to be it's like one of these things where it's like the lost one lost some multiplied by the first one so if we say give it some value let's make it even smaller and well yeah we have to update this value so why don't we say lost I don't know if this is correct integrate but it it'll hopefully make some sound [Music] so I set the vault this callback knob to be as close to zero as I can that at the 12 o'clock and it's pretty much saying still it might be moving a little bit but yeah it's climbing for me but I turn it down it'll kind of track downwards until I stop it so it becomes kind of like a ball that's rolling around and a positive voltage moves it this way and a negative one moves it this way and there's no inherent clipping here which means that if we let it run off the bottom it'll take a really long time to come back up because it's now like that like negative 30 volts or something so we could add a how to clip in here and I know there's a there's probably a library function to do this but we can just say equals we use another ternary statement and now I wish I had a shorter variable name if it is greater than 5 then we should return 5 this is probably going to look easier if we just use it as an if [Music] so now we should be able to come back up really quickly [Music] math dot min no absolutely you could use that um realistically I'd just wrap it in a function anyway and call it clamp I know that no one's already has that by default which would just be like I mean this is almost another function we could use even though it's just a helper in our case so yeah we could do it like this etc but yeah you're right I think that's easier if we see if we return the maximum of the higher of the V and min and then we can basically we're gonna wrap this V value in a map min this gets a little confusing to look at but I believe I'm not even calling it [Music] okay there you go so that's the integrator is there a stats package on the line no there is not as far as I'm aware but I am likely wrong okay so I think the differentiator so all we did here for the integrator was we took kind of a running we have like a state variable that we were kind of moving each time so do a differentiator what we're looking for is the difference between well better looking at the the gradient of the input so at the most extreme that's a high pass filter it as a high pass filter that'll only let through changes so a static value will return to zero to do that we're also going to need variable state variable but I think we have to save what the last input value was rather than the last output value like butterfingers today on the keyboard [Music] so we probably need a local variable here so we're going to make an output and that's going to be basically we're gonna look at the difference between the last two stages I think so this is gonna be doing it absolutely between each state each step which is kind of one way but I think if you do it as an average it'll make it smoother and more interesting but let's just get through this so we can kind of keep going with some more fun stuff so it's gonna be the difference between the input minus the last input to the change in input so if if I turning it up V is gonna be bigger than last input so it'll be a positive value whereas if we're turning it down it's gonna be the inverse so it'll be a v will be smaller than last input so last input should dominate and because it's subtracted it'll be a negative value that seems right then we'll save a current input into last input and we will return the out [Music] there you go tada um that's me they're not very interesting I think it really needs some smoothing and it needs to have like a time constant but I think it's kind of beyond the capacity of my small brain today let's look at another state for another stateful function but this one's gonna be chaotic this is gonna use the gingerbread man map so I'm gonna call a function ginger just for simplicity we'll give it a voltage because it needs to take one but I don't know what we're gonna do with it yet but in order to do this let's look up I already had this one open so one of the cool things that I like to do is just like look at like different mathematical kind of areas and already the math you can do is really interesting like nature stuff as well which often there's like mathematical modeling of like in the in the bowery package there's a script called Boyd's which is a play on the bird flocking algorithm it's only in one dimension but um it kind of like tries to take some natural living world behavior and model it so often they do like visualizations with it but I was like oh what if we do control voltage it's really sensitive to the values and I don't think I haven't gotten quite right thumb I think it's a really interesting thing to explore but one thing that's great is there is on Wikipedia there's this category called chaotic maps and it's just a big list of all these different chaos functions so people are probably familiar with laughing map this has this like classic kind of to two different oscillation zones and it'll kind of jump between the two and there's another little Lorenz attractor is another very commonly seen one looks like this it also has a nice like butterfly looking appearance but yeah this stuff is I don't know it seems really interesting and there's a lot of like room to kind of use it musically I think most of the time this is another little list here they had this um categorized list which has these different parameters here and typically when you use there's some modules out there that do analog chaos functions and I think they're great and they're really interesting but they can be hard to model in a digital space because doing continuous time things in a discrete time which is digital model can be hard but one thing that's really hard to do an analog is stuff that is inherently discrete so if you put this time domain if you order it by that and you just skip past all this continuous stuff and you look at the discrete ones they're like really easy typically to implement in a system like crew and I really like the gingerbread man math because one it looks like a gingerbread man it's really cute but it also is cool because the the points like jump rather than like continuously moving between values and so I think it could be a really interesting jumping-off point for a sequencer and basically this is gonna be a bit hard without a without a scope I tried to plug mine in but with my camera it's like not good enough to really capture though the lines that we'll try and demonstrate it with maybe two oscillators with that pitch changing but you'll see here the equation is really simple it's just it's just this here so the y-value is just the previous x-value and the x value is 1 minus the previous y plus the absolute value of the last X so I wish I could copy and paste that straight into Lua but I'm gonna have to kind of tap back and forth well we can move it under the page okay now I'm inside of Wikipedia so we have a function ginger so let's make two local variables so and we're gonna need to save some as well so last X so this is gonna give us two dimensions of output but we only this function something really allowed to return us one right now so we'll just we'll just return one and then we might kind of refactor this stuff to be able to return multiple values so let's set the last x value oh we can't do that yet we need to local the X on the back so Y just equals last X and x equals 1 minus last Y plus that's it I think that's the whole thing then all we have to do is manage the state so last x equals x and last Y and then we should return one of them I mean we can return both it will just the second one will get ignored these need to be initialized and I know I think the value that you initialize them to UM drastically changes what their what the outputs can be but it might even say this doesn't tell you I was looking at a thing to fold it so let's just try it out to see what happens all right so it's oscillating what is a bit difficult about that as it's so fast why don't we because what that means is every time we're sampling the input value we're calculating the next stage of the chaotic now so if we just slow down let's do it 10 times a second rather than a hundred times but we're slewing between all the values [Music] you okay so that sounds like it's going 0 1 2 3 1 2 1 so it's just an oscillator right now so typically the way you control the way you control this particular oscillator is by changing the origin and so the origin for us is these these initial values for last X and last Y so if we change this to be 0.14 lost X I'm guessing it will change it very slightly well maybe it'll like totally go off and on the dispute into the distance all right so you can see like it's baby totally change the sequence one thing that we can do I think might be an interesting way to get some CB control over this is if we use the V value from the input so this is basically whatever there's knob is setting we'll just add it to the previous X value so now everywhere I turn this knob it's gonna [Music] they say have a different sequence and you'll see like this one the sequence is way longer and it's maybe not identical every time that it's pretty similar and then I think you plug this into us into a quantizer and that's I feel like that's gonna sound pretty interesting with these Kaos things though they because they're based on memory they can run away to a point where they're kind of not useful it's got a nice swing too [Music] so one thing we did here is we we're returning both the X and the y value so this is something a lot of languages can't do and it's new to me I've never really worked with a language that can do multiple return values but the way Lua treats this is it will use the first one as the return value like basically for every extra place you you give the function to put values it'll just use as many as it can so down here we call the ginger function but we only have one output to capture that which is the output number one but we can also using a comma we can do this and that's going to allow us to capture both outputs and plug them into output 1 and output 2 so this should be identical to before I turned the reader to Dan's entered let's use a second oscillator to try and demonstrate them that's right [Music] the relationship all right so these two are just tuned to match each other in frequency so we should be able to hear basically has a [Music] as a duet we'll be hearing the gingerbread man [Music] pretty strange so one thing we could do here to kind of try and constrain it a bit make a bit musical is we could when we're like sending these outputs we could add a clamp to say maintain them inside of a particular voltage range that's one thing we could do we could wrap it so that values beyond a certain octave get flipped down to a lower one and we could do that just as a shaping or we could do it as part of the algorithm which will change the gingerbread man algorithm um so to do that we would do it basically on x and y here so that would be - or down here we could just um so let's just start down here I all I want to do is basically say I think the easiest thing to do is just to do it on this value let's say let's just call it rap I'm gonna apply the same function to both that function it's gonna say if if B is greater than let's say three volts there's always a better way the equals the -1 so I'm just gonna shift it down an octave then I'm gonna say Boston we're gonna use a modular to kind of wrap it oh that's not gonna work with integers though there's always I never quite know how to implement this song if V is greater than minus else if V is less than you [Music] gloriously eternal [Music] what versions [Music] so a similar thing we could do as like a modify as we could apply a quantizer but that's let's kind of leave that for now I think it's maybe an interesting control voltage maybe more than pitch so now I've just like basically plug them in directly sorry I've attached those control voltages to that format input I was kind of hacking this back to being the way it was and then the next the other thing I want to do is be able to control the the rate about that that's updating let's not worry about that I don't know it might still be broken [Music] so it's kind of like an automatic sequence [Music] the gingerbread is coming very good this is definitely getting a little bit away from this extended callback idea maybe that's fine [Music] okay so one thing we can do let's kind of wrap this up together so what we have at the moment is a bunch of functions that can take an input and give us an output and we can do we have four outputs so we could have four of those running at once but maybe what we can try and do is basically use one knob either our input value so that could be one control voltage input as that value and then have a second one a second input which is going to be the other callback knob like like before which is going to choose which algorithm to apply and it's going to kind of cycle us through the different options and I think that that'll be a direct control with a physical not but um it'll allow us to kind of imagine what you could do with a sequence you could sequence it with control with a control voltage but you could also obviously do it in CRO but um let's just attach I'm gonna basically connect this called Mac back to input two and then use it to select the mapping of the kind of input processing function so to do that I'm gonna clean things up a little bit here I just like dumping some stuff down the bottom so we can leave we'll leave the integral and the differentiator and let's get rid of the gingerbread man for now just because it's not in this it's not really quite the same thing as the rest of them but we have this big list of functions and what we want to do is basically have a number that can choose which one of them to do oh right so the really cool way to do this is rather than rather than make a table that indexes them we can just do this my funds my functions equals we're just putting everything inside the table we're gonna have to pull these variables out there's different ways we could do that but that's kind of the quick way and that's the end of that table I think this should run yeah there we go so what we've done here it seems bizarre and maybe it is but we've taken all of these functions I mean lamp doesn't make sense let's pull that outside and we've just put them directly into a table so we've given them all that matter but because they're there aren't names for these values in this table they're just going to be given sequential indexes so this line is gonna be number one this will be number two and you can't even use them people be number three etc etc so what we can do is to make sure this is working correctly we can just print the length on the table so this should say no value did we run it Wow okay so maybe maybe this isn't possible they all have names right now which might be the issue so we could just do this which is gonna make them very opaque but maybe that was what the problem was yeah okay so unfortunately you can't do it like this and name all your functions they have to be what are called anonymous functions meaning functions without a name we could so what was happening then is they were basically given names the Nate so the names that they are accessible by are these things so I would have to say print my phone stop left still doesn't work I'm not a great Lua teacher apparently but if we allow ourselves this luxury which is to say stupidity of not having a name we can just index these directly and that's gonna make it really easy to just choose which function we will use my phones with some number we're gonna call it I for now and be and so let's say instead of the number I we're gonna use the value at the input jack that's going to be a continuous voltage and we have nine options so we kind of want to use we want to shake this a bit so we know that input voltage can be -5 to +10 volts cold max only gonna give us minus 5 to +5 so why don't we say we'll subtract 5 we'll subtract 6 actually because the indexes should start from number 1 and we're gonna go down to negative 5 so we'll take it that number we'll subtract 6 and then we will take the floor of that value so that's gonna kind of round down to the negative direction and then hopefully does this era mean attempt to call and no value oh there's nothing to compare it against floor is not what we need we need ground but that's not a function what's it cold how do I make it an integer this should be really I'm having a blank - integer let's do that math doll seal won't that be the same problem I'm trying to turn a floating point number into an integer - six oh it's because it's - I made this mistake earlier today go to be +6 okay cool so now we're currently only controlling just wanted here [Music] that should be it [Music] so one thing that I've done here [Music] I slowed down the the scanner II don't only ten times a second let's let's put it back on let's get rid of that print so we can actually see if those how the hair okay so we don't really know what function by using at the moment but we can see from like just playing with it this is the this should be the crease function I think so at decreasing until negative five and then we jump up to five plus now but if I turn this knob down here the second callback we've got a different function [Music] this is just a regular old left yeah so now I'm using this can this knob to basically choose the different functions on the fly so I'm kind of reconfiguring what this value is being applied to [Music] so that's a thing I feel like if you sequenced that that could be interesting we could try it with uh you have a just friends here so I'm going to do a sequential sequence we've got some errors because we're out of range [Music] that's only using one output so we could kind of do that same thing but just like rotate everything - this will probably have a lot of areas but that are all pretty harmless [Music] so much however you can see I guess we can just look awesome [Music] and so now we're using witness using like a basic LFO of just fans you could use anything and it's it's just choosing the sequence single functions so you can change the wave shape here to change the way that it sounds moving through those functions [Music] so again it's like a lot of this stuff you're gonna need to kind of massage it into music but the cool thing here is like this whole patch is being controlled by the two colemak knobs and and the wave shape and the speed of the just friends and I think that that kind of gives you kind of interesting like perspective into your synthesizer you know and like again like we're doing all of this with crow and with the modular synth but like you can do the same stuff in in max/msp or in supercollider it's kind of just taking that idea of like taking a small set of inputs and like how can we multiply them out and I think doing this stuff here it's like um I don't know it's like a really fun and new way I think I don't think there's a lot of people that have really been experimenting with this idea of changing a mapping in terms of functions on the fly you know it's like that's basically like repackaging through your synthesizer on the go and those things that do it in analog sense like sequential switches and stuff like that but they tend to be super low level and they're like very they have to be very low owns because they're implemented in analog it makes it very difficult to do more complex though but this this just feels like a nice way to be able to explore kind of shifting characteristics and shifting zones so I think there's I don't know it feels like there's a lot of room to explore it and kind of make it more interesting but I think that's going to kind of wrap it up for today I wish that was a more musical examples a handle maybe next time I'll have all the all the quantizing stuff finished so we can hopefully keep things a little bit more kind of tonal in some way and maybe look a bit more the music theory stuff and the voicing ideas but I hope this has been kind of illustrative in terms of the idea of using like a functional mindset and that means one thing to computer programmers but just this idea that you can take any input and dependent and you just have to process it in a certain way that's what a filter does that's what a wave folder does sort of DCA does they just have different kinds of functions but typically you know those functions are you know a VC a is just a multiplier but we don't see things like dividers and we don't see things like square root functions you know modulus in so this is kind of an interesting way to bring in a bunch of different kind of concepts around them I'm just going to read through the comments and you have any last questions or anything if there's any more like bits and pieces you want to look at we can do that before we sign up [Music] I feel like we're in a science club it's me it's me after the TX is already working I thought it was already in the main firmware but maybe it's still waiting for the next release I'm going to stop the recording but I also hang around | Trent | UC16wWT_iMCWatl_2PhB3hzw | 2020-05-07 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse

nUg3HrcrAZE | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUg3HrcrAZE | Your NEW Camp Counsellors! | ⛺ Camp EverDarling ⛺ || #1 | are you sure you're not there there oh dear here he every hey everybody its well from here and welcome to a new series I am on the camp ever darling series this is series one I am a camp counselor and this is a wonderful camp site so I thought maybe I'd show you guys around give you a little rundown of just the camp for episode one basically this is the camp site so we have little log cabins for all of our campers so I'm just really quickly going to run and get some food from the cafeteria so we've got some little sign posters you can see there was some color-coordinated didn't sound pleasant there are some color-coordinated pathways and cafeteria obviously this will all be explained in a minute Sabra oh I'm just having a good old cosy sit down I just finished my hot chocolate ready for some tacos yeah girl I didn't realize it was ice cream but now it's mine right so basically what I've done is I've had dessert first so now in full but I'm ready for when I'm hungry again oh my gosh should we take a seat you want it outside or shall we sit the picnic bench outside and just have a little bit at the view as long as [Music] yeah yay I may be home arrows in your bag and you have one in your belly I've got some maple syrup pancakes oh yeah yummy yummy okay so we've already earned our Scout badges mm-hmm so what do you think about repeating all of the quests again I think it should be easy I think that'd be a good time I mean we should be good at it considering weeds done it before but why do I have a feeling that it's just gonna go absolutely like awful and we're just gonna be terrible but that Liz yeah where's the food for me well yeah to be fair we've been around a while haven't we we're not like nice Lesley young guns we're not like the youth anymore man well I think I think we can do it I think I'm gonna be great have you already been at our cabin no I haven't actually I haven't been to the cabin yet okay well if you done to it what have you done to it um what have you done to our cabin our cabin pretty it's a little different than last year in the year before Oh God we have camp counselor status this year yep I figured you know we could just sit up a little bit and I think it is I'll be the good counselor clearly I'll be the nice one I'll be the rule enforcer clearly and I know only a few campers have made it to camp I know another bus is supposed to be coming in a few days yeah it was so great to see everybody oh it's so nice to see all the different colored cabins isn't it No also can you guess which ones are oh oh oh god what have you done oh my word well I mean at least she gave me a rabbit oh no I mean honestly yeah this is this is the life at a parasol and like some creeper Cola and my bunny see beanie in her cabin right now which cabin is Oh across the way the orange Oh rules dim dim dim come in your company's already made for you I already have my cup here oh I actually have some coffee oh my god what I'm hyper running fast yep yep I got some venison I filled a we have to keep the camper safe I suppose the poor bear okay wonder too far from the honey trap come on I have to use the potty real fast oh I'm not gonna follow you in there give me a moment it's nearly nighttime Shh that was a good party good okay now we go to bed it says it's still daytime it's 9 2009 at the minute I don't know how much longer it's gonna stay daytime I'm wondering like keep into Aarons cabins too I'm gonna I'm gonna eat some maple syrup my face you weren't supposed to eat food outside of the cafeteria oh I thought it was moot food we weren't at war I'm gonna need for the isolation cabin let's see if we can get into our bunk beds I call top man oh that's fine I prefer to sleep on the bottom anyway okay if I fall out of bed then at least it's a shorter fall rules oh good morning good morning oh my god our coffees respawned Oh coffee I have two cups now all right so ah it's very nice to see you again I'm yeah we'll be running into each other a lot we have to keep camp on lockdown make sure no one breaks pool yep and we also need make sure that we have fun isn't that what camp is all about yeah oh and yeah I have a secret Oh what's the secret I don't know where you're at I can't see you oh there you are I have a secret just come into our cabin you could you know you've got a pet haven't ya all right close the door close the door what have you done we've got a hedgehog is any cute okay we're in the clear we're good so right so what I'm supposed to keep this little yeah right okay we already have a secret room excuse you Sabra what are you what are you telling me I need you to go and turn off your mini-map how do it what are you doing we're not allowed to break camp what oh I'll let you get down first oh my word what have you done people can't find us that welcome oh my god you've made like you've made a little pet area it's our dungeon Oh done done and we can keep building down and adding more stuff that is forbidden oh okay right I'm having a I'm having a good time right now this is great it's actually a fantastic idea we will need to add in security cameras of course find out if anybody else comes down yes no can't find my little Hedgehog have you guys got a name I mean nobody you didn't have a name but now it's gone isn't he was quilt I love but it's a secret yes it is bounces ever no way I think you need to tame him to do that you need to make Hedgehog food oh he was mine though I only chains him oh and I really don't know what's happening okay so in our cabin Lucy in our secret area yeah I have some I have to go run and do the other campers you should probably do that too we should probably be good probably be a good camp counselors and actually get some stuff done shouldn't we really yes okay well alright in I'll see you later see you later girl a smell you later see you later wait no no no I'm coming out come now come now oh it's nighttime bye right well that was a fun adventure shall we very quickly get back on with the the rest of the tour everybody so I'm just gonna run all the way back to the main air riah which I will explain and show you in a sec okay so here you can see this is a good old like Town Hall almost I can't remember what the actual name of this building is so don't mind me but basically up there is the rec center and the shops and the caves and then back that way is the boss but really quickly I'll just show you around here's our camp rules restrict deed I teams the map of the actual island and then here's our color-coordinated pathways do you not think that Sabres art is beautiful her talent is going to waste so I'm really quickly going to show you everything that's in this direction but first of all up here which is where the bulk of everything is gonna be we've got a little mascot in here and it all have a little Hedgehog here is our writing facilities as the stamps and letters so that we can send that as home and keep track of our diary in such here's our mailboxes and then up here here's all different quests to get our badges all color-coordinated Green is easy read as hard and blue is medium and then in here we've got all of our heads and rows and so basically when you've completed quests you're able to take a piece of colored clay and place them alongside your head in your little cabinets if I can up if I can open them there we go and then you place them in and then once you've got all of them you become an honorary camper so let's go out the other entrance so we've come out the back and down here there's the rec classes caves and shop area as I've previously said it's obviously you just follow our little colored path listen dago's and some zombies paths could do with being a bit lighter but will I will work on that old deer yeah there needs to be a lot more so here's the rec center I won't bore you with all of the different buildings but basically this is so where we can have classes so here you can see we have a little survival class it's all very adorable and cute the build team were incredible and I absolutely adore them all their links are in the description below so caves and shop area over this way so up here as you can see by the light there's a bunch of cave systems but you won't really need to do a lot of mining but these are here prepared just in case anybody does and then up here is my favorite place it's the shop slash marketplace I made all of this so I'm like really happy and excited by it I need to add more light but basically each colored cabin gets a colored stool per person and one of the quests is to open a shop so as you can see it's all in preparation ready okay guys so that's just basically the quick guided tour of the camp and I think we'll get into things in the next episode just a nice quick short little informative first episode it will be every two weeks as well I might upload the second episode sooner just because obviously we want to get into some quests even though I'm a counselor I can do quests too but thank you all but thank you all so much for watching I hope you enjoyed like you did subscribe to come back around and don't forget it's mostly us and I'll see you again very soon [Music] |

TuE-8HeCvr4 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuE-8HeCvr4 | AXSchat with Jacqueline Rojas.Tech UK & Advisory Board of the Digital Leaders Programme. | I am welcome to access chat delighted to have Jacqueline de Royer's with us today Jacqueline is the president of tech UK amongst other things she's also involved with accelerate her and every woman and she's an ambassador for getting women into the cyber tech industry as well so as well as being part of the advisory board for digital leaders which of course is how we started this conversation because it's digitally this week this week and of course access chat has been shortlisted in the DL 100 for inclusion and digital skills so delighted to have you with us it's quite an impressive list that you've accumulated there so I'm really excited to be able to talk to you about inclusive leadership because I think in in the digital world the wit we're living in now it's not entirely inclusive and I know that there are a number of people that are making great steps to make it more inclusive but we have a long way to go so I'd love to hear your thoughts on on how we can be more inclusive in our in our leadership in the digital space yeah so I guess I would begin by saying well thank you for having me and I am delighted to to join you and also delighted to have you on the DL 100 the digital leaders 100 finalists lists so so that's great because whatever we can do to be to use digital and leverage technology to include and encourage people who I prefer to think of extraordinary versus ordinary into tech the better and I you know I really think that especially as we are beginning another what do we call it fourth Industrial Revolution where we've got the convergence of physical digital and biological sciences you know all of that should be able to enable humans humanity to reimagine reinvent and re-engineer all aspects of how we do things and that's exactly what technology can and you spoke before about we're all in different places doing our own thing and I firmly believe that work is not a place it's where you are and technology is fabulous for enabling us to be productive in our own space and I love that absolutely with you in terms of being able to work from wherever we are it's really important it's certainly when we're talking about enabling people with disabilities to work there the flexibility that comes with new remote working techies is certainly a great help it's not without its downsides of course because there are issues around isolation and and not being able to ever see anyone and I hardly go out of the house these days I did shave this morning but otherwise I could look like Rip Van Winkle because unless you're doing video calls there's a temptation to to let yourself go a little bit so I think that there's it's somewhat of a double-edged sword but there are significant benefits in terms of diversity in tech we know that there are significant pushes to get more women into leadership roles and more women into technology roles I'm engaged in diversity initiatives within my own organization but there are other areas that I think also makeup diversity particularly thinking about age and ethnicity and disability and and sometimes when I go to diversity conferences as is my want there there seems to be a great deal of concentration on one area at a time when we don't tend to look at things holistically how do you think that that senior managers can help address that yeah so it's interesting when I talk to leaders and I spend a lot of my time challenging business and poking leaders in a in the eye in a good way to make sure that that we have a culture of inclusion because I think we get lost sometimes in the tick box exercise which is we've got to have more women or we got everywhere little T or whatever whatever it is and and I and there is no succession planning to that there's no ability to sustain it and the big the big change has to come from a personal commitment to making it happen and that means that we have to I don't really know we can change the culture of an organization that's probably one to debate on Twitter but what I do think is that we can certainly enable our culture to turn up as the best version of itself and if we do that then and and couple it with the extreme pressure that we're facing in the technology industry in that we are simply creating more jobs than we can fill and if we start from there and we start from in a hit of wall the tech industry is twelve point six percent of gross domestic product and growing rapidly the pace of change is enormous and if we are having a problem filling the jobs we've got today we certainly have to look to the rest of the work force to try and fill the gap and you know you talked about women earlier we've got 16 percent of women in technology and and only 10 percent in the cyber world and you know when I look to who's out there in in the country to fill those jobs you know we've got neurodiversity as an example so Asperger's autism is a fantastic opportunity to you know really swell the tunkel in cyber as an example and and you know I really think we've got an opportunity given that that dynamic tension of more jobs created that we can fill and there's a huge potential of you know the less abled and you know when I looked at the stats I think it's something like really 12 million people registered disabled in the UK that's one in five and I think over fifty fifty seven percent I think it was our have mobility disabilities and technology can help us solve that gap and that means that we can solve the skills crisis as well as bring inclusion into the equation and that's what I spend all my time talking to leaders in business but also government to try and change policy and enable access so that we can be much more inclusive as a society but at the end of the day it's down to us as human beings to make the difference us as leaders because I hate to say it but no one's coming the cavalry is not coming on this one we have to make sure that that we are all changing the culture and making it the best version of itself as individuals today we have many young people arriving the workforce and we're graduates who came from different backgrounds philosophy biology and they realized well and I could find a job in technology I don't I'm not able it's difficult to find a job in the area that of my studies are related so and they realize oh I would like to pursue a career in tech so how can we help them to reshape their careers and you know and fill in the roles in data science in cybersecurity that that are does the number of openings across the UK and across Europe are not being filled in and these people can actually fit in those roles if a strain it totally totally agree there are some fantastic initiatives for example the FDM group in London they employ a thousand young people ex-military and women returners every year and they give them a 12-week training course and then they throw them out onto projects in you know children of the country's largest businesses and when you go from nowhere in tech - somewhere in tech in 12 weeks that's a really astonishing opportunity and you know they have no problem filling the rolls but you know we need people to apply and that's why they've created for example women returners program and mostly actually the women returners are sometimes women who have already been in tech so they're already trained we've lost the talent because of maternity break and confidence breaks down really fast and so we need to just train them sometimes I'm just getting back into commuting you know putting work clothes on and getting back out there and by the way in Turkish kingly we don't have to be quite as suited and booted as bankers for example but you know we're a bit more casual and I think for the kids and for ex-military who are maybe not as able as they once were it is a big opportunity to get really skilled very quickly in technology and be the data scientists of the future you mentioned arts actually and creative subjects I myself I'm a language and business graduate so I I definitely was not a technologist I'm still not sure I you know I'm not I'm not a coder so I'm I guess I'm in the tech industry by stealth but I am a tech leader and I have been able to use my communications capabilities I see young kids using their creative skills in the gaming industry which is really thriving here in the UK and we see lots of social marketing opportunities for people with arts based subjects and you know interestingly as the pace of Technology it increases the premium will be on collaboration skills actually and you know talking to people being able to communicate as groups and and I think that the young are super great at that and that's their opportunity to collaborate and and not work in silos that were traditionally used to in tech I think that's that's a fair comment I think that as older generations are more focused on on the silo that they're in not at all because age is an attitude after all so so I come out is my attitudes come out as millennial even though I'm a solid generation Xer when it comes to technology I like to adopt and I like to communicate and Antonia at the same we've we looked at the technology realized the benefit and taken the plunge and I think that's something that that we've really learned from doing things like access chat where we've collaborated across international boundaries and thank we managed to run this for nearly three years get to 1.7 billion impressions and not meet physically until April when we met up in Stockholm so it was the first time we've met with debra so it's it's a different world that we live in now I've got a question about we were talking about leaders and and talking about how it's incumbent upon leaders in tech to to actually initiate the change and do some of this themselves one of the things that I've noticed in in talking with senior leaders in in organizations is that they will support diversity initiatives they will support disability initiatives behind closed doors they will admit maybe having a disability why do you think it is that there there is still some fear of of coming out within the organization about your own disability because the more senior the people within the organizations the less likely they are to talk about disabilities I'm one of the most senior people within my own organization to be very open and about the disability I have a hidden disability but I'm open about it because I partly because of my role that I must be I must be prepared to talk about it and yet you know seen senior managers are under tremendous pressure there's likely to be health issues as potentially as senior managers are older and with age comes the greater likelihood that bits of you are going to start not working so well so so why do you think it is that that's such a such a taboo subject I don't know if it's this specifically but I do think we live in a very airbrushed version of our world you only have to look at Facebook Twitter and we talk about the good stuff I mean they're a bit some people that are you know 100 percent totally out there and honest but actually we do have this airbrushed version of ourselves and I think that's a societal thing I think look at the magazines that you know I you know I see models being thinner and and now actually curvier because they're going the other way as well so we all aspire or have been programmed to aspire to this airbrushed version of ourselves and actually I think that spills over into business having said that I do think that mental health week recently did make a difference in terms of when new Prince's Harry and William came out to talk about mental health I love that and really honor that because now that's really hard and and you really need people who are at the top of their game at the in places of leadership and positions of influence who can out and uncover the truth behind what's going frankly we all have stuff going on I don't know about you but you know 54 I've got stuff going on and you know I think you know sometimes we just have to surface that honesty and and I think that's the human connection piece the best leaders the most authentic leaders I've ever work with are the ones that are honest about themselves first and lead from the front in that regard you know very much like you Neil so I you know I really think that that's the way that you find the best leadership results and an outcomes are driven by leaders getting out of the way of their people but giving them space to be amazing and giving them permission to be who they are those are the best leaders and and III don't think it's true of all companies and all countries I think there are shall we say pinpricks of ecstasy when you get great leaders being able to lead you know teams to massive success and great outcomes because collaboration is authentic and honest I I'm starting at the pinpricks ecstasy because yes it does feel a bit like that if you think about our are sort of top business figures you you see maybe Richard Branson talking about openly about his dyslexia yeah what one or two more we have a history of great people STR they that the white house was adapted and made accessible because he had a wheelchair and yet you would only ever see him behind a table yeah because he was still projecting that ablest label image so I think that there is a requirement and maybe it'll come as the there is a generational shift but I think that as you say people leading by example really helps to embed that sort of feeling that people can be themselves bring their their real self to work and I think that's one of the things that enables creativity and and Trust and helps maintain those kind of relationships and it may well be that as things change because we're moving into a different way of working we hear about the gig economy a lot and that this of contracts between employer and employee will change and maybe you work for multiple and that freelancing becomes more common that that those kind of bonds of trust become more important than the contract so again how do how do you think we can encourage those kind of open declarations and and clear not just declarations of intent because it's all very well for organizations to say yes we want to be diverse they've got they've got to do it they've got to walk the talk so how do you think we can encourage more and it's not just the leaders because in how do you think we can encourage more organizations to demonstrate their intent it's interesting talking to my kids my kids they're 25 27 and 29 they're not not children but they are passionate and I've been watching them over the latest political shenanigans that are going on here in the UK and figuring out you know their reaction to what's going on and what I see Rick very large is that my kids certainly are very engaged politically they are very clear on what they want they certainly won't go and work for anybody any employer just because of a salary it's much more causal it's certainly in tech the top reason for going to work for a tech employer these days or any employer is meaningful work it isn't the money money's like number five and what I rejoice in with that is that we are creating a generation or generation is flooding in behind all of us which says you know this is how we demand to work and it's going to be driven by the employees not by the employers actually and I think it's all switching around because you know I've got feisty children I recognize that but actually they are demanding a different kind of employer and I don't think the employers are going to get away with the old way of working if you want the best talent the most passionate talent and the ones that are engaged you know in in your mission you've got to have a mission you've got to have a cause and then you'll you'll get you'll attract the best attract and retain the best talent and and I think that's the way that tech is changing let's not forget tech skills are at a premium so if they're at a premium they can choose much more where they go and I think in the gig economy you're going to see a lot more of that and that's both exciting and also means that the style of leadership and who is leading will change and that's why I say that collaboration is going to be at a premium yeah and III think it's really interesting because I didn't be a nearly a decade ago and I and I just see Antonia wants to ask a question but I've got a slight point and and that was about the shift in style of leadership so when we did the myers-briggs personality typing I came out at ENFP and that went oh you'll be never suitable to be a you know a top manager because you're too sociable I actually think that that you know that that there's a shift towards that kind of person yes within particularly within the tech industry but but because of the way that we are now living our lives and working that actually I was lucky to be born in the right time yeah as an extrovert so so I think that it you're right it is changing and that that we need to be somewhat servant leaders to look at that that to use that phrase and and to definitely engage with our staff more as peers and collaborators than minions Antonia you had a question I do know we've been talking about integrating in people in the work force about their objectives we were also talking before about people return back to work after know being mothers of off being in in in a different career path and they are back to the workforce but we are talking for collaboration for a couple of years now you know being more collaborative at work some organizations are still struggling to for example to allow flexible work not doesn't mean that you're going to work from home all the time but at least you can divide that no 50% 25% and other still so good to format from a perspective and management to somehow oh I don't see them no in the office so they probably they are not working so that's that we still face some challenges not be able to accommodate this style of working so like is when you talk with people you know where any event in the multiple events that you go what type of feedback are you able to experience from your relation with them and what type of know what type of experiences can you share with us yeah so it's a really good question to it I think we're in a transition phase so there are some well let me let me put my own personal view it forward first I strongly believe that great ideas go to die in the boardroom and thrive in a coffee shop it's just human nature which says that you know we are hugely productive when we are more sociable it's okay to have a bit of noise around us it's okay you know to be in a sort of energetic environment rather than a very sterile environment and this is being recreated in places like the Google digital Academy that I was in last week that's just been launched in London it's full of deck chairs and beach balls and designed to enable the Google team for example when they're in the office to feel like they can collaborate in a social way but they're also driven by metrics that are very outcome based so that it's not about if you're working if you clock in with your your work card you know you're you're productive because you're sat at your desk it's not that it's about the outcome of the project or the mission and that's how you're measured so new metrics of productivity need to be ingrained in leadership styles and objectives as we move forward I think there are some professions that are really good at this there are other professions and I would say something like the legal profession is quite rooted in the fact that they like to have you there that might actually also be because taking data off-site for them is a little bit nerve-wracking but you know there are industries and sectors that we'll have to catch up so you know I strongly believe that we are moving more towards you know my office people often ask me where my office is frankly it's in this big handbag that I carry around and in there I've got a couple of devices but mostly what I'm dragging around is my ability to to get power because you know I can be wherever I am but if I haven't got a plug socket I'm in trouble and you know exactly you've got your battery factor and it's fascinating isn't it so the three that are the three things that scare you which is security Wi-Fi the biggest one that's the scariest of all is that the you know your battery runs out and that's the killer but yeah I mean I think flexible working is is a transition there are there is there is a cycle of of transition that's happening there are some companies that are saying for collaborative work we need to be together and I get that because actually we do feed off each other as human beings and we do need that and then there are times and tasks that are different where you can where you need some space and you can you can work wherever you are and then there's the travel time which is just dead time and you can just flex so much more with the tech that enables us to do that so I would like to think we can solve the housing crisis the commuter crisis the pollution crisis all by saying we don't have to move everyone around into big cities all the time and I'm a big proponent of hash tag not just London or hash tag not just big cities because you know remote in rural areas are just as productive possibly as just trailing into the Big Smoke all the time I'm in a little village right now so but I chose the the sort of on the tick box list of things that that must have was a fiber connection yeah so so if you look at the digital exclusion heat map from from get on or or whatever it's been rebranded as now not everyone now you can you can see the capability you can work from from remote locations in parts of the country but it's really still quite patchy I think that also we're seeing campuses being stood back up so it's interesting to see the difference between North America and the UK and Europe in this respect in that I think North America went remote a lot earlier actually when the remote tech wasn't as good and now they're moving back into campuses and we're still we're still part of the sort of tech diaspora and we're spread out everywhere so but I think that's that's interesting to sort of observe that the differences in different countries one last one last point before we close and that is really around we've talked about people with disabilities having opportunities to contribute and of course in a diverse organization you get diversity of ideas etc but also one thing that we found is that because people with disabilities have to deal with problems it makes us naturally good both sort of early adopters of technology but also good inventors and and having the ideas to to help see how you can utilize technology so really want to try and find ways to flip disability into actually strategic advantage and and again how do you think we can best communicate that to to maybe people in the in the boardroom who are somewhat skeptical worried still that actually it's the cost to it rather than a benefit yeah and it's a really really interesting area isn't it I think for me it isn't so cards on the table my husband is is the head of a charity that delivers yoga to special needs children and you know what what I have seen up close in children young adults is once you've experienced the ability for someone to contribute in the way that for example Asperger's autism diversity can contribute to cyber you start looking at 90 you know I met 90 of the biggest cyber brains from GCHQ and I'm telling you a lot of them a lot lot lot of them are all on that scale and they are just the most magnificent version of themselves when they are solving a problem that you and I would only look at and think I have no idea what that what what that pattern could mean or that trend could mean or and the outcome when you have a leader who perceives outcome and sees mission versus the wheelchair or you know the the glasses or whatever it is when you start to see through different eyes and and I think only when you've experienced it up close and personally can you really understand the productivity benefit but that's where you organizations like tech UK like digital leaders you know that's where we poke leaders and government in the eye and say okay the country has a Productivity issue we simply don't have enough people in technology this is a great resource for us to include in that talent pool it's those kinds of conversations so we welcome you know people to join organizations like digital leaders as individuals or techy carriers as members for their companies because that creates a bigger voice for the industry to start saying we demand a change and frankly I think without this pool of people anyway we're going to lose our opportunity to become a digital nation of significance fantastic I think we'll leave it on that point that seems like a really strong point to end it thank you very much Jet Li in to Royce thank you bye | AXSChat | UCtXmNJEMGmHK9VArQNnvxAw | 2017-06-19 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en |

According to Wikipedia, the 59th street bridge opened on March 30, 1909 at a price of $18 million and 50 lives. The top level was originally only for pedestrians and railway cars with the lower deck for 4 lanes of automobiles and 2 lanes for trolleys.

Pokemon you'll find them if you want to catch your own for your collection be my guest they are some pretty cool pokémon that you know you could use for your team and yes there is that occasional Zubat right here which yeah you guys already know mice my my little history with the zoomit I despise them and the biggest prize of them all right here is Artie Cunha and would you look at slowpoke and you guys already know me I am here for the collection so I'm gonna try and capture as many Pokemon as possible right here mainly because man you don't find these Pokemon anywhere else [Music] we do have great balls in the innuendo yes that wasn't in New England great ball there you go we have another Pokemon right there which is slowpoke the dopey Pokemon incredibly slow and sluggish it core is quite content tool all about without worrying about the time pretty cool very good okay so I'm gonna nickname at all and luckily we switched boxes right here so that way we don't have to worry about you know one of the things you guys should know is that you need a Pokemon that has surf or strength surf strength because there will be boulders here that you need to move in order to you know slow down the current which is downstairs of his whole cave ranking so just be aware of that guys sir yes you will be able to surf right here and yes I know there's a lot of Pokemon right here but like I said I want to capture all these Pokemon I do and I seriously he gives me the best chance to capture focus now good thing we do have a pokemon that knows those strengths and that is tank [Music] our goal is to make it to the other side of the seafoam 5 into place our adventure will be taking us to the Cinnabar Island we will be going to cinnabar we won't be battling no gym leader right now deal is we're trying to level up our Pokemon well we're trying to level up our Pokemon to get ready for the next two gym leaders which is Sabrina and Blaine Sabrina stronger than Blaine I have in my opinion just because he has psychic pokémon they will be her pokemon will be at level 50 all three of them unless I'm wrong now Blaine does have some strong Pokemon himself but you guys got to be aware of that too [Music] hopefully it helps me out right here yes please excuse all the pokemon that aren't attacking me right here yes I know I have repels I do I'm going to use the one repel maybe two girls in the last episode but again want to capture all these Pokemon [Music] another Pokemon which one will come on Zubat leave me alone leave my people alone alright let me go back up here [Music] if I go down here there we go okay so that will actually help me out there is a zoom a bit just a one face [Music] luckily we do have a fast enough Pokemon for this whole [Music] really but it's a zoo ban no counterpart golbat yeah screw it I'm gonna beat you because okay right beach you get experience points we are moving moving [Music] there's more Pokemon down here and of course it's a few bad apology to me this is like a zoo bet infested place I have the right mind to to actually get up so I can move around right here sir as you can see there is a lot of it's calm right here and I think you get yes you get an ultra ball right here [Music] forward surf again [Music] okay so [Music] that is another Zubat I bet nope it's a gold back okay and it's level 36 okay so this is this could serve as a training session for me I guess I and he survived really you're gonna do that to me okay survival alone just at play survivor moto come hahaha and it has being attacked okay so this is probably bad come on Sparky be a man oh come on [Music] you're gonna faint aren't you he fainted Wow revenge all right Godzilla I need revenge avenge your fallen comrade [Music] Tammy mana equal that what oh come on [Music] come on you better hit him what this is really bugging me right now honestly honest to god guys I am really irritated right now Jesus hits on me God okay all right so I gotta buy this Pokemon [Music] okay so I'm not going to capture any Pokemon right you because I don't want to be bothered so let's just use those repels as you can see Articuno will be up there the only problem is keep I'm wrong yeah the current is too fast right now so we have to we actually have to put some boulders in and that's just to stop the crane just a little bit so luckily we're transporting to the right place right here and look at that okay so we could always go there right now we're just gonna have to get your Articuno let's go right here hey [Music] let's say we may have a small problem [Music] one and here is number two and that will actually help us out okay going down to this thing right here you can see the current is awesome would you look at that a legendary Pokemon so this is going to be a tough one I'm gonna have to save my my game because honest to god I really don't want it now when facing the legendary Pokemon it just be aware that this generation I don't know what for what reason it is but you can only capture these guys in pokeball life so just be aware they are at level 50 and yeah you only get one shot at these guys so here we go all right so we got the right Pokemon here we have this guy let's go Articuno look all majestic is always now I could use them as one of my team members but I don't think so let's go with a thunder wave in that pink attack not deadly at all but this actually given a bit of an advantage there let's just go okay so this oh wow we got the we're really gonna hope shoots okay so we did our first part right there so let's go to tank since it is a tank of HP let's do with that okay body's name is gonna be hit and that was a boy [Music] that right there is a very very strong attack Wow all right a Hydra [Music]

that I don't need to you know hyper potion for old to psycho because it has a recover Jesus Christ how many pokeballs does it take to capture a legendary Pokemon I wonder I really wonder why would

zKo-gONPW_8 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKo-gONPW_8 | Ozarks | Wikipedia audio article | the Ozarks also referred to as the Ozark Mountains in Ozark plateau is a physiographic region in the US states of Arkansas Missouri Oklahoma and Kansas the Ozarks cover a significant portion of northern Arkansas in southern Missouri extending from interstate 40 in Arkansas to the suburbs of st. Louis a portion of the Ozarks extends into northeastern Oklahoma and southeastern Kansas there are two mountain ranges within the Ozarks the Boston mountains of Arkansas and the Saint Francois mountains of Missouri Buffalo Lookout the highest point in the Ozarks is located in the Boston mountains geologically the area is a broad dome with the exposed core in the st. Francois Mountains the Ozarks cover nearly 47,000 square miles 120,000 square kilometres making it the most extensive highland region between the Appalachians and Rockies together with the Ouachita Mountains the area is known as the US Interior Highlands topic etymology Ozark says a toponym believed to be derived as a linguistic corruption of the French abbreviation ox arcs short for ox Arkansas or of Arkansas in English in the decades prior to the French and Indian War ox Arkansas originally referring to the trading post at Arkansas post located in wooded Arkansas delta lowland area above the confluence of the Arkansas River with the Mississippi River Arkansas seems to be the French version of what the Illinois tribe further up the Mississippi called the Quapaw who lived in eastern Arkansas in the area of the Trading Post eventually the term came to refer to all Ozark plateau drainage into the Arkansas and Missouri rivers an alternative origin for the name Ozark relates the French term ox Arc's in the later 17th and early 18th centuries French cartographers mapped the Arkansas and Mississippi rivers the large topmost arc or bend in this part of the Arkansas River was referred to as the Ox arcs the top four most northern arc in the whole of the lower Arkansas travelers arriving by boat would disembark at this top Bend of the river to explore the Ozarks the town of Ozark Arkansas is located on the north bank at this location other possible derivations include aux arcs meaning land of the arches in reference to the dozens of natural bridges formed by erosion and collapsed caves in the Ozark region these include Clifty Hollow Natural Bridge actually a series of arches in Missouri an alum Cove in the Ozark st. Francis National Forest it has even suggested ox arcs as an abbreviation of ox arcs and seal French for toward the rainbows which are a common sight in the mountainous regions after the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 American travelers in the region referred to various features of the upland areas using the term Ozark such as Ozark Mountains and Ozark forests by the early 20th century the Ozarks had become a generic and widely used term topic physiographic sub-regions the Ozarks consists of five physiographic sub-regions the busting mountains of north Arkansas in cooks and Hills of East Oklahoma the Springfield plateau of southwest Missouri northeast Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas and including Springfield Joplin and Monda in Missouri Tahlequah in Oklahoma and Fayetteville and Harrison in Arkansas the white river hills along the White River including Branson mountain home to Batesville the Salem plateau or central plateau which includes a broadband across south-central Missouri in North Central Arkansas including the Lebanon Salem and West Plains areas the Courtois hills of southeastern Missouri the Osage Gasconade hills around the Lake of the Ozarks the st. Francois mountains and the Missouri River and Mississippi River border areas along the eastern and northeastern flanks karst features such as Springs losing streams sinkholes and caves are common in the limestone's of the Springfield Plateau and abundant in the dollar stone bedrock of the Salem plateau and Boston mountains Missouri is known as the cave state with over 6,000 recorded caves the majority of these caves are found in the Ozark counties the Ozark plateaus aquifer system affects groundwater movement in all areas except the igneous core of the Saint Francois Mountains geographic features include limestone and dolomite glades which are rocky desert-like area on hilltops kept open by periodic fires that limit growth of grasses and forbs in shallow soil glades are home to collared lizards tarantulas scorpions cacti and other species more typical of the desert Southwest the Boston mountains contain the highest elevations of the Ozarks with Peaks over 2,500 feet 760 meters and forms some of the greatest relief of any formation between the Appalachian and Rocky Mountains the Washita mountains to the south rise a few hundred feet higher but are not geographically associated with the Ozarks the Boston mountains portion of the Ozarks extends north of the Arkansas River Valley 20 to 35 miles 32 to 56 kilometers and as approximately 200 miles 320 kilometers and are bordered by the Springfield in Salem plateau to the north of the white river summits can reach elevations of just over 2,500 60 feet 180 meters with valleys 500 to 1500 50 feet 472 meters deep 150 meters to 450 meters Turner Ward knob as the highest named peak located in western Newton County Arkansas its elevation as 2463 feet 751 meters nearby five unnamed Peaks have elevations that are slightly above 2,000 560 feet 780 meters drainage is primarily to the White River with the exception of the Illinois River although there also is considerable drainage from the South slopes of the Boston Mountains to the Arkansas River major streams of this type include lis Creek frog bio mulberry River spydra Creek Big Piney Creek little Piney Creek Illinois bio point removed Creek and Catherine Creek many Ozark waterways have their headwaters in the uplands of the Boston formation including the Buffalo Kings mulberry little red and white rivers topography is mostly gently rolling in the spring field in Salem plateaus whereas the st. Francois mountains are more rugged although the Springfield formations surface as primarily Mississippian limestone and chert the Salem plateau as older Ordovician dala stones limestone's and sandstones both are rife with karst topography and form long flat plains the formations are separated by steep escarpment that dramatically interrupts the rolling hills although much of the Springfield plateau has been denuded of the surface layers of the Boston mountains large remnants of these younger layers are present throughout the southern end of the formation possibly suggesting a pinna plain process the Springfield plateau drains through wide mature streams ultimately feeding the white river topic geology the Saint Francois mountains in the northeastern Ozarks are the eroded remnants of an ancient range which formed the geological core of the Highland dome the igneous and volcanic rocks of the Saint Francois mountains are the exposed remains of a Proterozoic mountain range hundreds of millions of years old the remaining Hills are the exposed portion of an extensive terrain thus pavana terrain in part of granitic and rhyolitic rocks dating from 1485 to 1350 Mya that stretches from Ohio to western Oklahoma the core of the range existed as an island in the Paleozoic seas Reef complexes occur in the sedimentary layers surrounding this ancient island these flanking reefs were points of concentration for later or bearing fluids which formed the rich lead zinc ores that have been and continued to be mined in the area the igneous and volcanic rocks extend at depth under the relatively thin veneer of Paleozoic sedimentary rocks and formed the basal crust of the entire region a major unconformity in the region attests that the Ozarks were above sea level for several hundred million years from the time of the volcanism in the Precambrian until the mid Cambrian with an erosional II produced relief of up to 1500 feet the seas encroached during the late Cambrian producing the LaMotte sandstone 200 to 300 feet 61 to 91 metres thick followed by carbonate sedimentation coral reefs formed around the granite and rhyolite islands in this Cambrian see this carbonate formation the bonnet are now mostly dolomite is exposed around the st. Francis Mountains but extends in the subsurface throughout the Ozarks and reaches a thickness of 400 to 1500 feet 120 to 460 meters the bonnet air is overland by 500 to 600 feet 150 to 180 metres of dolomite often sandy silty Archer tea forming the alvin's group and the potosí and eminence formations withdrawal of the Seas resulted in another unconformity during the latest Cambrian and early Ordovician periods hydrothermal mineralizing fluids formed the rich lead ore deposits of the lead belt during this time sedimentation resumed in the Ordovician with the deposition of the Gunter sandstone the Gasconade dolomite and the prominent Rubidoux and stone and dolomite the sandstone of the roubideaux forms prominent Bluffs along the streams eroding into the southern part of the Salem plateau the Rubidoux and Gunter sand stones serve as significant aquifers when present in the subsurface the source of the sands is considered to be the emerging Wisconsin dome to the northeast the Ozark region remained as a subsidy machello carbonate shelf environment with a significant thickness of dirty Dolomites as the Jefferson City Cotter and Powell formations portions of the Ozark plateau the Springfield Plateau of southwest Missouri and northern Arkansas are underlined by Mississippi and dirty lime stones locally referred to as boon dirt consisting of limestone and dirt layers these are eroded and formed steep hills valleys and Bluffs the Boston mountains are a high-end deeply dissected plateau the rocks of the region are essentially little disturbed flat lying sedimentary layers of Paleozoic age the highest ridges and peaks are capped by Pennsylvanian sandstone such as the basel Atoka in the middle boyd the deeply eroded valleys are cut into Mississippian limestone and below that layer Ordovician dolomite during the Pennsylvanian period the Ozark plateau was uplifted as a result of the Washita orogeny during the late Paleozoic the deep ocean basin that existed in central and southern Arkansas was lifted when South America collided with North America creating the folded Ouachita Mountains and uplifting the Ozark plateau to the north topic ecology and conservation formal conservation in the region began when the Ozark National Forest was created by proclamation of President Theodore Roosevelt in 1908 to preserve 917 thousand nine hundred forty four acres three thousand seven hundred fourteen point seven nine square kilometers across five Arkansas counties another six hundred eight thousand five hundred thirty seven acres two thousand four hundred sixty-two point six six square kilometers were added the following year the initial forests included area as far south as Mount magazine and as far east asylum or in 1939 Congress established Mark Twain National Forest at nine sites in Missouri wildlife management areas were founded in the 1920s and 30s to restore populations to viable numbers land was also added to Ozark National Forest during this period with over five hundred forty four thousand acres 2,200 square kilometers in total additions some land was reclaimed by the government through the resettlement administration during the Great Depression in 1976 Congress established Hercules glades wilderness the first of 13 designated wilderness areas in the Ozarks in 1986 Congress established the Ozark plateau National Wildlife Refuge in northeast Oklahoma protected areas ensure the recovery of endangered and threatened species of animals and plants including the Ozark big eared bat Indiana bat eastern small footed bat southeastern bat southeastern big eared bat long those darter Ozark cave fish Ozark cave crayfish Bowman's cave amphipod Ozark cave amphipod bat cave isopod and Ozark Chinquapin it is a habitat of migratory birds and contains geological archaeological historical and paleontological resources commercial farms and processing operations are known to raise levels of chemical and biological contaminants in Ozark streams threatening water supplies recreational use and endangered native species Topic lakes and streams the United States Army Corps of Engineers lakes that were created by damming the White River beginning in 1911 with Lake Taneycomo have provided a large tourist boating and fishing economy along the Missouri Arkansas border six lakes were created by dams in the White River Basin from 1911 through 1960 White River lakes include Lake Sequoia a small recreational fishing lake east of Fayetteville Arkansas formed in 1961 Sequoia is the uppermost impoundment on the White River below Sequoia northeast of Fayetteville is Beaver Lake formed in 1960 the white river continues north easterly into Table Rock Lake 1958 in Missouri which feeds directly into Taneycomo where the river zigzags southeasterly into Arkansas forming bull shoals lake along the Arkansas Missouri line completed in 1952 bull shoals is the furthest downstream lake on the white river proper Lake Moore fork was formed by damming the North Fork River a tributary of the White River in 1941 the lake of the ozarks pommes de terre Lake and Truman Lake in the northern Ozarks were formed by impounding the Osage River and its tributary the pommes de terre river in 1931 1961 and 1979 respectively Grand Lake in northeast Oklahoma was created in 1940 Stockton Lake was formed by damming the Sac River near the city of Stockton Missouri in 1969 and supplements the water supply of Springfield in nearby Greene County most of the dams were built for the dual purpose of flood control and hydropower generation the creation of the lake significantly altered the Ozark landscape and affected traditional Ozark culture through displacement the streams provided water and power to communities farms and mills concentrated in the valleys prior to impoundment many cemeteries farm roads River Ford's and railways were lost when the lakes came disrupting rural culture travel and commerce Baxter County Arkansas alone saw nearly 400 people displaced to make way for the reservoir created by Norfolk Dam the town of Forsyth Missouri was relocated in its entirety to a spot two miles three kilometers from its previous location prior to damming the white and Osage River Basins were similar to the current conditions of the Buffalo elk knee angwa Gasconade Big Piney current jacks Fork 11-point and Meramec rivers the Buffalo National River was created by an act of Congress in 1972 as the nation's first national River administered by the National Park Service the designation came after over a decade of battling a proposed Army Corps Dam in the media legislature and courts to keep the river free-flowing today the Buffalo sees approximately 800,000 visitors camping canoeing floating hiking and tubing annually in Missouri the Ozark National Scenic River ways was established in 1964 along the current and jacks Fork rivers as the first u.s. National Park based on a river system the eleven point River is included in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers system established in 1968 these River parks annually draw a combined 1.5 million recreational tourists to the least populated counties in Arkansas and Missouri many other waterways and streams have their headwaters in the Boston mountains such as the mulberry River the White River War Eagle Creek little Mulberry Creek Lee Creek Big Piney Creek and the Little Red River to the south the Arkansas River Valley separates the Boston mountains from the Ouachita Mountains Missouri Ozark rivers include the Gasconade Big Piney and the Niang Gua River in the north central region the Meramec River and it's tributaries huzzah Creek and Courtois Creek are found in the northeastern Ozarks the blackened st. Francis rivers marked the eastern Crescent of the Ozarks the James spring and North Fork rivers are in south-central Missouri forming the west central border of the Ozarks from Missouri through Kansas and into Oklahoma our Spring River and its tributary Center Creek Grand Falls Missouri's largest natural waterfall a chert outcropping includes Bluffs and glades on Shoal Creek south of Joplin all these river systems see heavy recreational use in season including the Elk River in southwest Missouri and its tributary Big Sugar Creek Ozark rivers and streams are typically clear water with base flows sustained by many seeps and springs and flow through forests to limestone and dolomite Bluffs gravel bars are common along shallow banks while deep holes are found along Bluffs except during periods of heavy rain or snowmelt when water levels rise quite rapidly their level of difficulty is suitable for most canoeing and tubing fish hatcheries are common due to the abundance of Springs and waterways the Neosho National Fish Hatchery was built in 1888 it was the first federal hatchery the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission Missouri Department of Conservation and United States Fish and Wildlife Service operate numerous warm and cold water hatcheries and trout parks private hatcheries such as Rock Bridge are found throughout the region topic regional economy topic traditional economic activity the Ozarks contain ore deposits of lead zinc iron and beright many of these deposits have been depleted by historic mining activities but much remains and is currently being mined in the lead belt of Southeast Missouri historically the lead belt around the st. Francois mountains and the tri-state district lead zinc mining area around Joplin Missouri have been very important sources of metals mining practices common in the early 20th century left significant abandoned underground mine problems and heavy metal contamination in top soil and groundwater in the tri-state district much of the area supports beef cattle ranching and dairy farming is common across the area dairy farms are usually cooperative affairs with small farms selling to a corporate wholesaler who packages product under a common brand for retail sales petroleum exploration and extraction also takes place in the Oklahoma portion of the Ozarks as well as in the East half of the Boston mountains in Arkansas logging of both softwood and hardwood timber species on both private land and in the national forests has long been an important economic activity the majority of the Ozarks is forested oak hickory is the predominant type eastern junipers are common with stands of pine often seen in the southern range less than a quarter of the region has been cleared for pasture and cropland forests that were heavily logged during the early to mid 20th century have recovered much of the remaining timber in the Ozarks a second growth forest however deforestation of frontier forests contributed through erosion to increased gravel bars along Ozark waterways in logged areas stream channels have become wider and shallower and deepwater fish habitat has been lost the numerous rivers and streams of the region saw hundreds of water powered timber and gristmills mills were important centers of culture and commerce dispersed widely throughout the region mills served local needs often thriving within a few miles of another facility few Ozark Mills relied on inefficient water wheels for power most utilized a dam mill race and water turbine during the New Deal the Civilian Conservation Corps employed hundreds in the construction of nearly 400 fire lookouts throughout the Ozarks at 121 known sites in Arkansas in 257 in Missouri of those lookouts about half remain and many of them are in use by the Forest Service a 2007 report by the National Trust for Historic Preservation deemed these fire lookouts and related structures as one of America's 11 most endangered historic places in the 1960s federal activity promoted modernization especially through better transportation and tourism the Ozarks Regional Commission sponsored numerous projects topic current economic activities tourism as the growth industry of the Ozarks as evidenced by the growth of the branson missouri entertainment center celebrating the traditional Ozark culture the rapidly growing Northwest Arkansas metropolitan area has also become a tourist hub drawing nationwide attention for Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville Arkansas poultry farming and food processing or significant industries throughout the region the Tyson Foods Corporation and ConAgra Foods each operates several hundred poultry farms and processing plants throughout the Ozarks Schreiber Foods has operations throughout southern Missouri the trucking industry is important to the regional economy with national carriers based there including JB Hunt ABF & prime Inc Springfield remains an operational hub for BNSF Railway logging and timber industries are also significant in the Ozark economy with operations ranging from small family-run sawmills to large commercial concerns fortune 500 companies such as Walmart in Bentonville Arkansas Leggett and Platt and O'Reilly Auto Parts are based in the Ozarks the area is also home to several Missouri wine regions including the Ozark Highlands and Ozark Mountain American viticultural areas topic culture Ozark also refers to the distinctive culture architecture and dialect shared by the people who live on the plateau early settlers in Missouri were American pioneers who came west from the southern Appalachians at the beginning of the 19th century followed in the 1840s and 1850s by Irish and German immigrants much of the Ozark population as of English scots-irish and German descent often including some Native American ancestry and the Ozark families from which the regional culture derived tend to have lived in the area since the 19th century early settlers relied on hunting fishing and trapping and foraging to supplement their diets and incomes today hunting and fishing for recreation are common activities in an important part of the tourist industry foraging for mushrooms especially morels and for ginseng is common and financially supported by established buyers in the area other forages include poke watercress persimmons and Papa wild berries such as blackberry black raspberry raspberry red mulberry black cherry wild strawberry and Du Barry and wild nuts such as black walnut and even acorns edible native legumes wild grasses and wildflowers are plentiful and beekeeping is common print and broadcast media have explored Ozark culture broadly books set in the Ozarks include where the Red Fern Grows the Shepherd of the hills and as a friend the 1999 film ride with the devil based on the book woe to live on depicts warfare in southwest Missouri during the Civil War Winter's Bone a novel by Daniel wood rel author of woe to live on reflects on contemporary methamphetamine culture and its impact on families on the plateau released as a feature film in 2010 Winter's Bone received the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival as well as other awards several early and influential country music television and radio programs originated from Springfield in the 1950s and 60s including ABC TV's Ozark Jubilee and the slim Wilson show on KY TV the Clampett clan of the Beverly Hillbillies TV show provide a stereotypical depiction of Ozark people Ozark musicians include Porter Wagoner and old-time fiddle or Bob holt of commercial interpretations of traditional Ozark culture include the two major family theme parks in the region Silver Dollar City and the now-defunct Dogpatch USA and the resort entertainment complex in Branson Ozark folkways in Winslow Arkansas in Ozark Folk center State Park in Mountain View Arkansas interpret regional culture through musical performance and exhibitions of Pioneer skills and crafts traditional Ozark culture includes stories and tunes passed orally between generations through community music parties and other informal gatherings many of these tunes and tales can be traced to having British origins into German folklore moreover historian vance randolph attributes the formation of much Ozark lore to individual families when backwoods parents begin by telling outrageous whoppers to their children and end by half believing the wildest of these tales themselves Randolph collected Ozark folklore and lyrics in volumes such as the national bestseller pissing in the snow and other Ozark folktales University of Illinois press 1976 Ozark folk songs

HKHq8dol5Os | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKHq8dol5Os | Celebrated Crimes by Alexandre Dumas Vol. 2: Massacres of the South Audiobook | celebrated crimes volume two the massacres of the South by Alexander Dumas chapter 1 it is possible that our readers whose Recollections May perhaps go back as far as the restoration will be surprised that the size of the frame required for the picture we are about to bring before him embracing as it does two centuries and a half but as everything has its precedent every river its source every volcano its Central fire so it is that the spot of earth on which we are going to fix our eyes has been the scene of action and reaction revenge and retaliation till the religious annals of the South resemble an account book kept by double entry in which fanaticism enters the profits of death one side being written with the blood of Catholics the other with that of Protestants in the great political and religious convulsions of the South the earthquake likee throws of which were felt even in the capital nemes has always taken the central place nemes will therefore be the pivot around which our story will revolve and though we may sometimes leave it for a moment we shall always return tither without fail nemes was reunited to France by Louis the 13th the government being taken from its vicom Bernard Aon I 6 and given to consoles in the year 1207 during the episcopa of Michelle pron the relics of St Pila were discovered and hardly were the rejoicing over this event at an end when the new doctrines began to spread over France it was in the South that the persecutions began and in 1551 several persons were publicly burnt as Heretics by order of the sena's court at nemes amongst whom was Maurice seenat a missionary from the send who was taken in the very Act of preaching thenceforth nemes rejoiced in two Martyrs and two patron saints one revered by the Catholics and one won by the Protestants St Billa after reigning as sole protector for 24 years being forced to share the honors of his guardianship with his new rival Maurice seat was followed as preacher by Pierre DEA these two names being still remembered among the crowd of obscure and forgotten Martyrs he also was put to death on the plasta salamandra all the difference being that the former was burnt and the latter hanged Pier was attended in his last moments by Dominique Deon doctor of theology but instead of as is usual the dying man being converted by the priest it was the priest who was converted by Dava and the teaching which it was desired should be suppressed burst forth again decrees were issued against Dominique Deon he was pursued and tracked down and only escaped the jibit by fleeing to the mountains the mountains are the Refuge of all rising or decaying sects God has given to the powerful on Earth City Plaine and sea but the mountains are the heritage of the oppressed persecution and prism kept pace with each other but the blood that was shed produced the usual effect it rendered the soil on which it fell fruitful and after 2 or three years of struggle during which two or 300 hugenots had been burnt or hanged nemes awoke one morning with a Protestant majority in 1556 the consuls received a sharp reprimand on account of the Leaning of the city towards the doctrines of the Reformation but in 1557 one short year after this admonition Henry II was forced to confer the office of president of the presidial court on William de calvier a Protestant at last a decision of the senior judge having declared that it was the duty of the cils to sanction the execution of Heretics by their presence the magistrates of the city protested against this decision and the power of the crown was insufficient to carry it out Henry II dying Katherine de mediis and the GES took possession of the throne in the name of Francois II there is a moment when Nations can always draw a long breath it is while their kings are awaiting burial and nemes took advantage of this moment on the death of Henry II and on September 29th 1559 Guam moay founded the first Protestant Community Guama moay came from Geneva he was the spiritual son of Calvin and came to nemes with the firm purpose of converting all the remaining Catholics or of being hanged as he was eloquent spirited and Wy too wise to be violent ever ready to give and take in the matter of consessions luck was on his side and Guama moay escaped hanging the moment moment a rising sect ceases to be downtrod and it becomes a queen and heresy already Mistress of 34s of the city began to hold up its head with boldness in the streets a householder called Guama Raymond opened his house to the calvinist missionary and allowed him to preach in it regularly to all who came and the wavering were thus confirmed in the new Faith soon the house became too narrow to contain the crowds which flocked to th to embibe the poison of the Revolutionary Doctrine and impatient glances fell on the churches meanwhile the vicont de joiz who had just been appointed governor of langued in the place of mure deers grew uneasy at the rapid progress made by the Protestants who so far from trying to conceal it boasted of it and so he summoned the cils before him admonished them sharply in the king's name and threatened to quarter a Garrison in the town which would soon put an end to these disorders the consules promised to stop the evil without the aid of outside help and to carry out their promise doubled the patrol and appointed a captain of the Town whose sole Duty was to keep order in the streets now this Captain whose office had been created solely for the repression of heresy happened to be Captain buag the most inveterate hugenot who ever existed the result of this dis discriminating Choice was that Guam moay began to preach and once when a great crowd had gathered in a garden to hear him hold forth Heavy Rain came on and it became necessary for the people either to disperse or to seek shelter under a roof as the preacher had just reached the most interesting part of his sermon the congregation did not hesitate an instant to take the latter alternative the Church of St etien de Capital was quite near someone present suggested that this building if not the most suitable as at least the most spacious for such a gathering the idea was received with acclamation the rain grew heavier the crowd invaded the church drove out the priests trampled the holy sacrament underfoot and broke the sacred images this being accomplished Gama moay entered the pulpit and resumed his sermon with such eloquence that his hearer's excitement redoubled and not satisfied with what had already been done rushed off to seize on The Franciscan Monastery where they forth with installed moay and the two women who according to Menard the historian of languedoc never left him day or night all which proceedings were regarded by Captain buag with magnificent calm the consuls being once more summoned before mure devier who had again become governor would gladly have denied the existence of disorder but finding this impossible they threw threw themselves on his Mercy he being unable to Repose confidence in them any longer sent a Garrison to the Citadel of nemes which the municipality was obliged to support appointed a governor of the city with four District captains under him and formed a body of military police which quite superseded the municipal constabulary moay was expelled from nemes and Captain buag deprived of office Francis II died in his term the usual effect was produced that is the persecution became less Fierce and moay therefore returned to nemes this was a victory and every Victory being a step forward the triumphant preacher organized a consistory and the deputies of nemes demanded from the states general of Orleans possession of the churches no notice was taken of this demand but the Protestants were at no loss how to proceed on the 21st December 1561 the churches of St eugeni St Augustine and the cordelier were taken by assault and cleared of their images in a hands turn and this time Captain buyag was not satisfied with looking on but directed the operations the cathedral was still safe and in it were entrenched the remnant of the Catholic clergy but it was apparent that at the earliest opportunity it too would be turned into a meeting house and this opportunity was not long in coming one Sunday when Bishop Bernard delen had celebrated Mass just as the regular preacher was about to begin his sermon some children who were playing in the clothes began to Hoot the beguier a name of contempt for Friars some of the faithful being disturbed in their meditations came out of the church and chastized the little hugenots whose parents considered themselves in consequence to have been insulted in the persons of their children a great commotion ensued crowds began to form and cries of to the church to the church were heard Captain buag happened to be in the neighborhood and being very methodical set about organizing the Insurrection then putting himself at its head he charged the cathedral carrying everything before him in spite of the barricades which had been hastily erected by the papists the assault was over in a few minutes the priests and their block fled by one door while the reformers entered by another the building was in the twinkling of an eye adapted to the new form of Worship the Great crucifix from above the altar was dragged about the streets at the end of a rope and scourged at every Crossroad in the evening a large fire was lighted in the place before the cathedral and The Archives of the ecclesiastical and religious houses the sacred images the relics of the Saints the decorations of the altar the sacal vest test ments even the host itself were thrown on in without any remonstrance from the consoles the very wind which blew upon nemes breathed heresy for the moment nemes was in full revolt and the spirit of organization spread moay assumed the titles of Pastor and minister of the Christian Church Captain buag melted down the sacred vessels of the Catholic churches and paid in this manner the volunteers of nemes and the German mercen iies the stones of the demolished religious houses were used in the construction of fortifications and before anyone thought of attacking it the city was ready for a Siege it was at this moment that Guama calvier who was at the head of the presidial Court moay being president of the consist and Captain buag commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces suddenly resolved to create a new Authority which while sharing the powers hitherto vested solely in the cons should be even more than they devoted to Calvin thus the office of Le Miss came into being this was neither more nor less than a Committee of Public Safety and having been formed in the stress of Revolution it acted in a revolutionary Spirit absorbing the powers of the consuls and restricting the authority of the consist to things spiritual in the meantime the Edict of ambois was promulgated and it was announced that the King Charles I 9th accompanied by Katherine deichi was going to visit his loyal provinces in the South determined as was Captain buag for once he had to give way so strong was the party against him therefore despite the murmurs of the Fanatics the city of nemes resolved not only to open its gates to its Sovereign but to give him such a reception as would a face the bad impression which Charles might have received from the history of recent events the royal procession was met at the Pont duar where young girls attired as nymphs emerged from a grotto bearing a collation which they presented to their majesties who graciously and heartily partook of it the repast at an end the illustrious Travelers resumed their progress but the imagination of the nemes authorities was not to be restrained within such narrow Bounds at the entrance to the city the king found the port dearon transformed into a mountain side covered with with vines and olive trees under which a Shepherd was tending his flock as the king approached the mountain parted as if yielding to the magic of his power the most beautiful maidens and the most noble came out to meet their Sovereign presenting him the keys of the city wreathed with flowers and singing to the accompaniment of the shepherd's pipe passing through the mountain Charles saw chained to a palm tree in the depths of a grotto a monster crocodile from whose Jaws issued Flames this was a representation of the old coat of arms granted to the City by Octavius Caesar Augustus after the battle of actium which Francis I had restored to it in exchange for a model in silver of the amphitheater presented to him by the city lastly the king found in the plasta salamanda numerous bonfires so that without waiting to ask if these fires were made from the remains of the used at the March om of Maurice seat he went to bed very much pleased with the reception accorded him by his good city of nemes and sure that all the unfavorable reports he had heard were calumnies nevertheless in order that such rumors however slight their Foundation should not again be heard the king appointed damville governor of languido installing him himself in the chief city of his government he then removed every Consul from his post post without exception and appointed in their place guy rosette doctor and lawyer Jean bodan Burgess Francois Alber Mason and Crystal leier Farm laborer all Catholics he then left for Paris where a short time after he concluded a treaty with the Calvinists which the people with this gift of Prophecy called the halting pieace of unsure seat and which in the end led to the Massacre of St Bartholomew gracious as had been the measures taken by the king to secure the Peace of his good city of nemes they had nevertheless been reactionary consequently the Catholics feeling the authorities were now on their side returned in crowds the householders reclaimed their houses the priests their churches while rendered ravenous by The Bitter bread of Exile both the clergy and the leoty pillaged the treasury their return was not however stained by Bloodshed although the Calvinists were reviled in the open Street a few stabs from a dagger or shots from an Arbus might however have been better such wounds heal while mocking words wrankle in the memory on the tomorrow of mma's day that is on the 31st September 1567 a number of conspirators might have been seen issuing from a house and spreading themselves through the street crying two arms down with the papists captain buag was taking his revenge as the Catholics were attacked unawares they did not make even a show of resistance a number of Protestants those who possess the best arms rushed to the house of guy roset the first counil and seized the keys of the city guy rosette startled by the cries of the crowds had looked out of the window and seeing a furious mob approaching his house and feeling that their rage was directed against against himself had taken Refuge with his brother greguar there recovering his courage and presence of mind he recalled the important responsibilities attached to his office and resolving to fulfill them whatever might happen hastened to consult with the other magistrates but as they all gave him very excellent reasons for not meddling he soon felt there was no dependence to be placed on such cowards and traitors he next repaired to the Episcopal Palace where he found found the bishop surrounded by the principal Catholics of the town all on their knees offering up Earnest prayers to heaven and awaiting martyrdom gy rosett joined them and the prayers were continued a few instants later fresh noises were heard in the street and the gates of the palace Court groaned under blows of Axe and crowbar hearing these alarming sounds the bishop forgetting that it was his duty to set a brave example fled through a breach in the wall of the next house but gy roett and his companions valiantly resolved not to run away but to await their fate with patience the gates soon yielded and the courtyard and Palace were filled with Protestants at their head appeared Captain buag sword in hand gy roett and those with him were seized and secured in a room under the charge of four guards and the palace was looted meantime another band of insurgents had attacked the house of the vicer general John pebo whose body pierced by seven stabs of a dagger was thrown out of a window the same fate as was Meed out to Admiral Colony 8 years later at the hands of the Catholics in the house a sum of 800 crowns was found and taken the two bands then uniting rushed to the cathedral which they sacked for the second time thus the entire day passed in murder and pillage when night came the large number of prisoners so imprudently taken began to be felt as an incumbrance by the Insurgent Chiefs who therefore resolved to take advantage of the darkness to get rid of them without causing too much excitement in the city they were therefore gathered together from the various houses in which they had been confined and were brought to a large Hall in the hotel de capable of containing from 4 to 500 persons and which was soon full an IR regular tribunal arrogating to itself powers of life and death was formed and and a clerk was appointed to register its decrees a list of all the prisoners was given him a cross placed before a name indicating that its bearer was condemned to death and list in hand he went from group to group calling out the names distinguished by the Fatal sign those thus sorted out were then conducted to a spot which had been chosen beforehand as the place of execution this was the palace Courtyard in the middle of which yawned a well 24 ft in in circumference and 50 deep the Fanatics thus found a grave ready digged as it were to their hand and to save time made use of it the unfortunate Catholics LED tither in groups were either stabbed with daggers or mutilated with axes and the bodies thrown down the well gy rosett was one of the first to be dragged up for himself he asked neither Mercy nor favor but he begged that the life of his young brother might be spared whose only crime was the bond of blood which you nited them but the Assassins paying no heed to his prayers struck down both man and boy and flung them into the well the corpse of the vicer general who had been killed the day before was in its turn dragged tither by a rope and added to the others all night The Massacre went on the crimsoned Water Rising in the well as Corpse after corpse was thrown in till at break of day it overflowed 120 bodies being then hidden in its depths next day October 1st the scenes of tumult were renewed from early Dawn Captain buag ran from Street to Street crying courage comrades Mont pelier penas aramon Boker St andiol and vua are taken and are on our side Cardinal deline is dead and the king is in our power this aroused the failing energies of the Assassins they joined the captain and demanded that the houses around the palace should be searched as it was almost certain that the bishop who had as may be remembered escaped the day before had taken refuge in one of them this being agreed to a house-to-house visitation was begun when the house of mour do sag was reached he confessed that the bishop was in his Cellar and proposed to treat with Captain buag for a ransom this proposition being considered reasonable was accepted and after a short discussion the sum of 120 crowns was agreed on the bishop laid down every penny he had about him his servants were despoiled and the sum made up by the S savag who having the bishop in his house kept him caged the pret however made no objection although under other circumstances he would have regarded this restraint as the height of impertinence but as it was he felt safer in mour De savag seller than in in the palace but the secret of the worthy prelates hiding place was but badly kept by those with whom he had treated for in a few moments a second crowd appeared hoping to obtain a second Ransom unfortunately the de saag the bishop and The Bishop's servants had stripped themselves of all their ready money to make up the first so the Master of the House fearing for his own safety having barricaded the doors got out into a lane and escaped escaped leaving the bishop to his fate the hugenots climbed in at the windows crying no quarter down with the papists The Bishop's servants were cut down the bishop himself dragged out of the cellar and thrown into the street there his rings and CER were snatched from him he was stripped of his clothes and arrayed in a grotesque and ragged garment which chanced to be at hand his miter was replaced by a peasant's cap and in this condition he was dragged back to the palace and placed on the brink of the well to be thrown in one of the Assassins Drew attention to the fact that it was already fool poo replied another they won't mind a little crowding for a bishop meantime the prelates seeing he need Expect No Mercy from man threw himself on his knees and commended his soul to God suddenly however one of those who had shown himself most ferocious during the massacre Jean kusal by name was touched as if by Miracle with a feeling of compassion at the sight of so much resignation and threw himself between the bishop and Those About to strike and declaring that Whoever touched the prelate must first overcome himself took him under his protection his comrades retreating in astonishment Jean kusol raising the bishop carried him in his arms into a neighboring house and drawing his sword took his stand on the threshold the assassins however soon recovered from their reprise and reflecting that when all was said and done they were 50 to1 considered it would be shameful to let themselves be intimidated by a single opponent so they advanced again on kusal who with a backhanded stroke cut off the head of the first Comer the cries upon this redoubled and two or three shots were fired at the obstinate defender of the poor Bishop but they all missed aim at that moment Captain buag passed by and seeing one man attack attack by 50 inquired into the cause he was told of kusen all's odd determination to save the bishop he is quite right said the captain the bishop has paid Ransom and no one has any right to touch him saying this he walked up to kusal gave him his hand and the two entered the house returning in a few moments with the bishop between them in this order they crossed the town followed by the murmuring crowd who were however afraid to do more than murmur at the gate the bishop was Prov provided with an escort and let go his Defenders remaining there till he was out of sight the massacres went on during the whole of the second day though towards evening the search for victims relaxed somewhat but still many isolated acts of murder took place during the night on the tomorrow being tired of killing the people began to destroy and this phase lasted a long time it being less fatiguing to throw stones about than corpses all the convents all the monasteries all the houses of the priests and cannons were attacked in turn nothing was spared except the cathedral before which axes and crowbars seemed to lose their power and the Church of St eugeni which was turned into a Powder Magazine the day of the great Butchery was called LA melad because it took place the day after mikas and as all this happened in the year 1567 the massacre of St Bartholomew must be regarded as a plagiarism at last however with the help of mure dville the Catholics again got the upper hand and it was the turn of the Protestants to fly they took refuge in the Sven from the beginning of the troubles the Sven had been the Asylum of those who suffered for the Protestant faith and still the plains are papist and the mountains Protestant when the Catholic party is in the ascendant at nemes the plain seeks the mountain when the Protestant come into power the mountain comes down into the plain however vanquished and fugitive though they were the Calvinists did not lose courage in Exile one day they felt sure their luck would turn the next and while the Catholics were burning or hanging them in effigy for contacy they were before a notary dividing the property of their executioners but it was not enough for them to buy or sell this property amongst each other they wanted to enter into possession they thought of nothing else and in 1569 that is in the 18th month of their Exile they attained their wish in the following manner one day the Exiles perceived a carpenter belonging to a little village called kison approaching their place of Refuge he desired to speak to mure Nicola de calvier Senor De St cosma and brother of the president who was known to be a very enterprising man to him the carpenter whose name was majaron made the following proposition in the moat of nemes close to the gates of the carites there was a grating through which the waters from a fountain found vent majaron offered to file through the bars of this grating in such a manner that some fine night it could be lifted out so as to allow a band of armed Protestants to gain access to the city Nicola de calvier approving of this plan desired that it should be carried out at once but the carpenter pointed out that it would be necessary to wait for Stormy Weather when the waters swollen by the rain would by their noise drown the sound of the file this precaution was doubly necessary as the box of the century was almost exactly above the grating mure de calvier tried to make majaron give way but the latter who was risking more than anyone else was firm so whether they liked it or not the calvier and the rest had to await his good pleasure some days later rainy weather set in and as usual the fountain became Fuller magaron seeing that the favorable moment had arrived glided at night into the moat and applied his file a friend of his who was hidden on the ramparts above pulling a cord attached to madan's arm every time the Sentinel in pacing his narrow round approached the spot before break of day the work was well begun majaron then obl iterated all traces of his file by dobing the bars with mud and wax and withdrew for three consecutive nights he returned to his task taking the same precautions and before the fourth was at an end he found that by means of a slight effort the grading could be removed that was all that was needed so he gave notice to miss Nicola de cavier that the moment had arrived everything was favorable to the undertaking as there was no moon the next night night was chosen to carry out the plan and as soon as it was dark missier Nicola de calvier set out with his men who slipping down into the moat without noise crossed the water being up to their belts climbed up the other side and crept along at the foot of the wall till they reached the grating without being perceived there majaron was waiting and as soon as he caught sight of them he gave a slight blow to the loose bars which fell and the whole party entered the drain led by De calvier and soon found themselves at the farther end that is to say in the pl de La Fontaine they immediately formed into companies 20 strong four of which hastened to the principal Gates while the others patrolled the streets shouting the city is taken down with the papists a new world hearing this the Protestants in the city recognized their co-religionists and the Catholics their opponents but whereas the former had been warned and were on the alert the latter were taken by surprise consequently they offered no resistance which however did not prevent Bloodshed mour to St Andre the governor of the Town who during his short period of office had drawn the bitter hatred of the Protestants on him was shot dead in his bed and his body being flung out of the window was torn in pieces by the populace the work of murder went on all night and on the marrow the victors in the their turn began an organized persecution which fell more heavily on the Catholics than that to which they had subjected the Protestants for as we have explained above the former could only find shelter in the plain while the latter used the Sven as a stronghold it was about this time that the peace which was called as we have said the insecurely seated was concluded two years later this name was justified by the massacre of St Bartholomew when this event took place the South strange as it may seem looked on in nemes both Catholics and Protestants stained with the others blood faced each other handon Hilt but without drawing weapon it was as if they were curious to see how the parisians would get through the massacre had one result however the union of the principal cities of the South and West Mont pelia uses Mont Aban and LA relle with NE at their head formed a civil and Military League to last as is declared in the act of federation until God should raise up a sovereign to be the defender of the Protestant faith in the year 1775 the Protestants of the South began to turn their eyes towards Henry IV as the coming Defender at that date nemes setting an example to the other cities of the league deepened her moates blew up her suburbs and added to the height of her ramparts night and day the work of perfecting the means of Defense went on the guard at every gate was doubled and knowing how often a city had been taken by surprise not a hole through which a papist could creep was left in the fortifications in dread of what the future might bring nemes even committed sacrilege against the past and partly demolished the Temple of Diana and mutilated the amphitheater of which one g gantic Stone was sufficient to form a section of the wall during one truce the crops were swn during another they were garnered in and so things went on while the rain of the Mion lasted at length the prince raised up by God whom the hugenots had waited for so long appeared Henry IV ascended the throne but once seated Henry found himself in the same difficulty as had confronted Octavius 15th centuries earlier and which confront Ed Louis Philip three centuries later that is to say having been raised to Sovereign Power by a party which was not in the majority he soon found himself obliged to separate from this party and to abjure his religious beliefs as others have abjured or will yet abjure their political beliefs consequently just as Octavius had his Anthony and Louis Philip was to have his Lafayette Henry IV was to have his is Byron when monarchs are in this position they can no longer have a will of their own or personal likes and dislikes they submit to the force of circumstances and feel compelled to rely on the masses no sooner are they freed from the ban under which they labored then they are obliged to bring others under it however before having recourse to Extreme Measures Henry IV with soldierly frankness gathered around him all those who had been his comrades of old in war and in religion he spread out before them a map of France and showed them that hardly a tenth of the immense number of its inhabitants were Protestants and that even that tenth was shut up in the mountains some in doine which had been won for them by their three principal leaders Baron DeAndre Captain Mont Brun and Leu others in the Sven which had become Protestant through their great preachers Maurice seat and Guama M and the rest in the mountains of Nar whence he himself had come he recalled to them further that whenever they ventured out of their mountains they had been beaten in every battle at jarak at Montour and at Drew he concluded by explaining how impossible it was for him such being the case to entrust the guidance of the state to their party but he offered them instead three things viav his purse to supply their present needs the Edict of Nantes to assure their future safety and fortresses to defend themselves should this edict one day be revoked for with profound Insight the grandfather divined the grandson Henry ivth feared Louie I 14th the Protestants took what they were offered but of course like all who accept benefits they went away filled with discontent because they had not been given more although the Protestants ever afterwards looked at Henry IV as a renegade his Reign nevertheless was their golden age and while it lasted nemes was quiet for strange to say the Protestants took no revenge for St Bartholomew contenting themselves with debarring the Catholics from the open exercise of their religion but leaving them free to use all its rights and ceremonies in private they even permitted the procession of the host through the streets in case of illness provided it took place at night of course death would not always wait for darkness and the host was sometimes carried to the dying during the day not without danger to the priests who however never let himself be deterred thereby from the performance of his duty indeed it is of the essence of religious Devotion to be inflexible and few soldiers however Brave have equaled the martyrs in courage during this time taking advantage of the truce to hostility ities and the impartial protection Meed out to all without distinction by the Constable damville the carites and Capuchin the Jesuits and monks of all orders and colors began by degrees to return to nemes without any display it is true rather in a surreptitious manner preferring Darkness to daylight but however this may be in the course of three or four years they had all regained foothold in the town only now they were in the position in which the Protestants had been formerly they were without churches as their enemies were in possession of all the places of worship it also happened that a Jesuit High in Authority named per costone preached with such success that the Protestants not wishing to be beaten but desirous of giving word for word summoned to their aid the Reverend Jeremy Fier of Al who at the moment was regarded as the most eloquent preacher they had needless to say was situated in the mountains that inexhaustible source of hugenot eloquence at once the controversial Spirit was aroused it did not as yet amount to war but still less could it be Called Peace people were no longer assassinated but they were anathematized the body was safe but the soul was consigned to damnation the days as they passed were used by both sides to keep their hand in in Readiness for the moment moment when the massacres should begin again end of chapter 1 chapter 2 part 1 the death of Henry ivth led to new conflicts in which although at first success was on the side of the Protestants it by degrees went over to the Catholics for with the accession of Louie the 13th velu had taken possession of the throne beside the king sat the cardinal under the purple mantle gleamed the red robe it was at this crisis that HRI Rohan Rose to Eminence in the South he was one of the most illustrious representatives of that race which Allied as it was to the Royal houses of Scotland France SEO and Lorraine had taken as their device be king I cannot Prince I will not Rohan I am HRI Rohan was at this time about 40 years of age in the prime of life in his youth in order to perfect his education he had visited England Scotland and Italy in England Elizabeth had called him her Knight in Scotland James I 6 had asked him to stand Godfather to his son afterwards Charles I in Italy he had been so deep in the confidence of the leaders of men and so thoroughly initiated into the politics of the principal cities that it was commonly said that after makavel he was the greatest Authority in these matters he had returned to France in the lifetime of Henry IV and had married the daughter of Sully and after Henri's death had commanded the Swiss and the gron regiments at the siege of julier this was the man whom the King was so imprudent as to offend by refusing him the reversion of the office of governor of puau which was then held by Sully his father-in-law in order to Revenge himself for the neglect he met with at court as he States in his memoirs with military ingenuousness he espoused the cause of K with all his heart being also drawn in this direction by his liking for K's brother and his consequent desire to help those of konda's religion from this day on Street disturbances and angry disputes assumed another aspect they took in a larger area and were not so readily appeased it was no longer an isolated band of insurgents which roused the city but rather a conflagration which spread over the whole South and a general Uprising which was almost a civil war this state of things lasted for seven or eight years and during this time Rohan abandoned by ChatOn and laforce who received as the reward of their defection the field Marshals baton pressed by K his old friend and by Mont Morenci his consistent rival performed prodigies of courage and miracles of strategy at last without soldiers without ammunition without money he still appeared to risho to be so redoutable that all the conditions of surrender he demanded were granted the maintenance of the Edict of nantis was guaranteed all the places of worship were to be restored to the reformers and a general amnesty granted to himself and his partisans furthermore he obtained what was an unheard of thing until then an Indemnity of 300,000 liver for his expenses during the rebellion of which some he allotted 240,000 liver to his co-religionists that is to say more than 34 of the entire amount and kept for the purpose of restoring his various Chateau and setting his domestic establishment which had been destroyed during the war again on foot only 60,000 liver this treaty was signed on July 27th 1629 the Duke the rishu to whom No sacrifice was too great in order to attain his ends had at last reached the goal but the peace cost him nearly 40 million liver on the other hand santong Pata and langad had submitted and the chiefs of the houses of L Troya K buan Rohan and suisi had came to terms with him organized arms opposition had disappeared and the lofty manner of viewing matters natural to the Cardinal Duke prevented him from noticing private emnity he therefore left nemes free to manage her local Affairs as she pleased and very soon the old order or rather disorder reigned once more within her walls at last risho died and Louis the 13th soon followed him and the long minority of his successor with its embarrassments left the Catholics and Protestants in the South more complete Liberty than ever to carry on the great duel which down to our own days has never never ceased but from this period each flux and reflux Bears more and more The Peculiar character of the party which for the moment is triumphant when the Protestants get the upper hand their vengeance is marked by brutality and rage when the Catholics are victorious the retaliation is full of hypocrisy and greed the Protestants pull down churches and monasteries expel the monks burn the crucifixes take the body of some criminal from The Gallows nail it on a cross Pierce its side put a crown of thorns around its temples and set it up in the marketplace in effigy of Jesus on Calvary the Catholics Levy contributions take back what they had been deprived of exact indemnities and although ruined by each reverse are richer than ever after each Victory the Protestants act in the light of day melting down the church bells to make Cannon to the sound of the drum violate agreements warm themselves with wood taken from the houses of the cathedral clergy affix their thesis to the cathedral doors beat the priests who carry the holy sacrament to the dying and to Crown all other insults turn churches into slaughter houses and sewers the Catholics on the contrary March at night and slipping in at the gates which have been left a jar for them make their Bishop president of the council put Jesuits at the head of the college buy converts with money from the Treasury and as they always have influence at court Begin by excluding the Calvinists from favor hoping soon to deprive them of justice At Last on the 31st of December 1657 a final struggle took place in which the Protestants were overcome and were only saved from destruction because from the other side of the channel Cromwell exerted himself in their favor writing with his own hand at the end of a dispatch relative to the Affairs of of Austria quote I learned that there have been popular disturbances in a town of languedoc called nemes and I beg that order may be restored with as much mildness as possible and without shedding of blood end quot as fortunately for the Protestants maeran had need of Cromwell at that moment torture was forbidden and nothing allowed but annoyances of all kinds these henceforward were not only innumerable but went on without a pause the Catholics faithful to their system of constant encroachment kept up an incessant persecution in which they were soon encouraged by the numerous ordinances issued by Louis V 14th the grandson of HRI ivth could not so far forget all ordinary respect as to destroy at once the Edict of nantis but he tore off claws after claws in 1630 that is a year after the peace with Rohan had been signed in the preceding Reign chaloner sa had resolved that no Protestant should be allowed to take any part in the manufacturers of the town in 1643 6 months after the accession of Louis the 14th the laundresses of Paris made a rule that the wives and Daughters of Protestants were unworthy to be admitted to the freedom of their respectable Guild in 1654 just one year after he attained his majority Louis the 14th consented to the imposition of a tax on the town of nemes of 4,000 Frank towards the support of the Catholic and the Protestant hospitals and instead of allowing each party to contribute to the support of its own Hospital the money was raised in one sum so that of the money paid by the Protestants who were twice as numerous as the Catholics two sixs went to their enemies on August 9th of the same year a decree of the council ordered that all the artisan cils should be Catholics on the 16th September another decree forbade Protestants to send deputations to the king lastly on the 20th of December a further decree declared that all hospitals should be administered by Catholic consules alone in 1662 Protestants were commanded to bury their dead either at dawn or after Dusk and a special Clause of the decree fixed the number of persons who might attend a funeral at 10 only in 1663 the Council of state issued decrees prohibiting the practice of their religion by the reformers in 142 communes in the dases of nemes USU and Mendes and ordering the demolition of their meeting houses in 1664 this regulation was extended to the meeting houses of alanan and mataban as well as their small place of worship in NE on the 17th July of the same year the parliament of ruen forbade the master Mercers to engage any more Protestant workmen or apprentices when the number already employed had reached the proportion of one Protestant to 15 Catholics on the 24th of the same month the Council of State declared all certificates of mastership held by a Protestant invalid from whatever Source derived and in October reduced to two the number of Protestants who might be employed at the mint in 1665 the regulation imposed on the Mercers was extended to the goldsmiths in 1666 a royal declaration revising the decrees of parliament was published an article 31 provided that the offices of clerk to the consulates or secretary to a guild of watchmakers or Porter in a municipal building could only be held by Catholics while in article 33 it was ordained that when A procession carrying the host passed a place of worship belonging to the so-called reformers the worshippers should stop their Psalms singing till the procession had gone by and lastly in article 34 it was enacted that the houses and other buildings belonging to those who were of the reformed religion might at the pleasure of the Town authorities be draped with cloth or otherwise decorated on any religious Catholic Festival in 1669 the chambers appointed by the Edict of nantis in the parliaments of Ruan and Paris were suppressed as well as the articled clerkships connected therewith and the clerk ships in the record office and in August of the same year when the immigration of Protestants was just beginning an edict was issued of which the following is a clause quote whereas many of our subjects have gone to foreign countries where they continue to follow their various trades and occupations even working as ship rights or taking Service as Sailors till at length they feel at home and determined never to return to France marrying abroad and acquiring property of every description we hereby forbid any member of the so-called Reformed Church to leave this Kingdom without our permission and we command that those who have already left France to return forth with within her boundaries end quote in 1670 the king excluded Physicians of the reformed Faith from the office of Dean of the College of Ruin and allowed only two Protestant doctors within its precincts in 1671 a decree was published commanding the arms of France to be removed from all the places of worship belonging to the pretended reformers in 1680 a proclamation from the King closed the profession of Midwife to women of the reformed faith in 1681 1 those who renounced the Protestant religion were Exempted for 2 years from all contributions toward the support of soldiers sent to their town and were for the same period relieved from the duty of giving them board and lodging in the same year the College of sedan was closed the only College remaining in the entire Kingdom at which calvinist children could receive instruction in 1682 the king commanded Protestant notaries procurators ushers and surgeons to lay down their offices declaring them unfit for such professions and in September of the same year 3 months only were allowed them for the sale of the reversions of the said offices in 1684 the Council of State extended the preceding regulations to those Protestants holding the title of honorary secretary to the king and in August of the same year Protestants were declared incapable of serving on a jury of experts in 1685 the Provost of merchants in Paris ordered all Protestant privileged merchants in that City to sell their privileges within a month and in October of the same Year the long series of persecutions of which we have omitted many reached its culminating point the revocation of the Edict of nantis HRI IV who foresaw this result had hoped that it would have occurred in another manner so that his co-religionists would have been able to retain their fortresses but what was actually done was that the strong places were first taken away and then came the revocation after which the Calvinists found themselves completely at the mercy of their mortal enemies from 1669 when Louie first threatened to aim a fatal blow at the civil rights of the hugenots by abolishing the equal partition of the chambers between the two parties several deputations had been sent to him praying him to stop the course of his persecutions and in order not to give him any fresh excuse for attacking their party these deputations addressed him in the most submissive manner as the following fragment from an address will prove quote in the name of God sire said the Protestants to the king listen to The Last Breath of our dying Liberty have pity on our sufferings have p on the great number of your poor subjects who daily water their bread with their tears they are all filled with burning Zeal and inviolable loyalty to you their love for you August person is only equaled by their respect history Bears witness that they contributed in no small degree to place your great and magnanimous ancestor on his rightful throne and since your miraculous birth they have never done anything worthy of blame they might indeed use much stronger terms but your majesty has spared their modesty by addressing to them on many occasions words of Praise which they would never have ventured to apply to themselves these your subjects Place their sole trust in your scepter for refuge and protection on Earth and their interest as well as their Duty and conscience impels them to remain attached to the service of your majesty with unalterable devotion un quote but as we have seen nothing could restrain the triumph forit which held the power Just then and thanks to the suggestions of perz and Madame deanol Louie the 14th determined to gain Heaven by means of wheel and stake as we see for the Protestants thanks to these numerous decrees persecution began at the cradle and followed them to the grave as a boy a hugenot could enter no public school as a youth no career was open to him he could become neither Mercer nor concierge neither Apothecary nor physician neither lawyer nor counil as a man he had no sacred House of Prayer no register would inscribe his marriage or the birth of his children hourly his Liberty and his conscience were ignored if he ventured to worship God by the singing of Psalms he had to be silent as theost was carried past outside when a Catholic Festival occurred he was forced not only to swallow his rage but to let his house be hung with decorations in sign of Joy if he had inherited a fortune from his fathers having neither social standing nor civil rights it slipped gradually out of his hands and went to support the schools and hospitals of his foes having reached the end of his life his deathbed was made miserable for dying in the faith of his fathers he could not be laid to rest beside them and like a parah he would be carried to his grave at night no more than 10 of those near and dear to him being allowed to follow his coffin lastly if at any age whatever he should attempt to quit the cruel soil on which he had no right to be born to live or to die he would be declared a rebel his gos would be confiscated and the greatest penalty that he had to expect if he ever fell into the hands of his enemies was to row for the rest of his life in the gys of the king chained between a murderer and a forger such a state of things was intolerable the cries of one man are lost in space but the groans of a whole population are like a storm and this time as always The Tempest gathered in the mountains and the Rumblings of the Thunder began to be heard first there were texts written by invisible hands on City walls on the signposts and Crossroads on the crosses and the cemeteries These Warnings like the men menle uph Haren of Bazar even pursued the persecutors into the midst of their feasts and orgies now it was the threat Jesus came not to send peace but a sword then this consolation for where two or three are G gathered together in my name there am I in the midst of them or perhaps it was this appeal for United action which was soon to become a summon to revolt that which we have seen and heard declare we unto you that ye Also may have fellowship with us and before these promises taken from the New Testament the persecuted paused and then went home inspired by faith in the prophets who spake as St Paul says in his first epistle to the Thessalonians not the word of men but the word of God very soon these words became incarnate and what the prophet Joel foretold came to pass your sons and your daughters shall prophesy your old men shall dream dreams your young men shall see visions and I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth blood and fire and it shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered in 1696 reports began to circulate that men had had Visions being able to see what was going on in the most distant parts and that the heavens themselves opened to their eyes while in this ecstatic State they were insensible to pain when pricked with either pin or blade and when on recovering Consciousness they were questioned they could remember nothing the first of these was a woman from VI whose origin was unknown she went about from town to town shedding tears of blood mure de bavil intendant of languido had her arrested and brought to Mont pelier there she was condemned to death and burnt at the stake her tears of blood being dried by fire after her came a second fanatic for so these popular prophets were called he was born at mezon his name was Lait and he was 20 years of age the gift of Prophecy had come to him in a strange manner this is the story told about him one day returning from languedoc where he had been engaged in the cultivation of silk worms on reaching the bottom of the hill of St Jean he found a man lying on the ground trembling in every limb moved by pity he stopped and asked what ailed him the man replied throw yourself on your knees my son and trouble not yourself about me but learn how to attain salvation and save your brethren this can only be done by the communion of the Holy Ghost who is in me and whom by the grace of God I can bestow on you approach and receive this gift in a kiss at these words the unknown kissed the young man on the mouth pressed his hand and disappeared leaving the other trembling in his turn for the spirit of God was in him and being inspired he spread the word abroad a third fanatic a prophetes raved about the parishes of St andiol de claramont and St fral de vantelon but she addressed herself principally to recent converts to whom she preached concerning the ukar IST that in swallowing the consecrated wafer they had swallowed a poison as venomous as the head of the Basilisk that they had bent the knee to ball and that no penitence on their part could be great enough to save them these doctrines inspired such profound Terror that the Reverend father L himself tells us that Satan by his efforts succeeded in nearly emptying the churches and that at the following Easter celebrations there were only half as many communicants as the preceding year such a state of license which threatened a spread father and father awoke the religious solicitude of Miss franois llad de deila PRI of Laval inspector of missions of jodon and Arch priest of the Sven he therefore resolved to leave his residence at Menda and to visit the parishes in which heresy had taken the strongest hold in order to oppose it by every means which God and the King had put in his power The Abbey daila was a younger son of the Noble House of llad and by the circumstances of his birth in spite of his soldierly instincts had been obliged to leave a poet and sword to his elder brother and himself assume cassic and stole on leaving the Seminary he espoused the cause of the church militant with all the ardor of his temperament perils to encounter foes to fight a religion to force on others were Necessities to this fiery character and as everything at the moment was quiet in France he had embarked for India with the fervent resolution of a martyr on reaching his destination the young missionary had found himself surrounded by circumstances which were wonderfully in harmony with his Celestial longings some of his predecessors had been carried so far by religious Zeal that the king of s had put several to death by torture and had forbidden any more missionaries to enter his dominions but this as we can easily imagine only excited still more the Abbey's missionary fervor evading the the watchfulness of the military and regardless of the terrible penalties imposed by the king he crossed the frontier and began to preach the Catholic religion to the Heathen many of whom were converted one day he was surprised by a party of soldiers in a little village in which he had been living for 3 months and in which nearly all the inhabitants had abjured their false faith and was brought before the governor of banan where instead of denying his faith he nobly offended Christianity and magnified the name of God he was handed over to the executioners to be subjected to torture and suffered at their hands with resignation everything that a human body can endure while yet retaining life till at length his patience exhausted their rage and seeing him become unconscious they thought he was dead and with mutilated hands his breast furrowed with wounds his limbs half worn through by heavy Fetters he was suspended by the wrists to a branch of a tree and abandoned a pariah passing by cut him down and suckered him and reports of his martyrdom having spread the French Ambassador demanded Justice with no uncertain voice so that the King of Siam rejoicing that the executioners had stopped short in time hastened to send back to mure to shaant the representative of Louis the 14th a mutilated though still living man instead of the corpse which had been demanded at the time when Louis the 14th was meditating the revocation of the Edict of nanes he felt that the services of such a man would be invaluable to him so about 1632 Abbe Dila was recalled from India and a year later was sent to Menda with the titles of arch priest of the Sven and inspector of missions soon The Abbey who had been so much persecuted became a persecutor showing himself as insensible to the suffering of others as he had been inflexible under his own his Apprentice ship to torture stood him in such good stead that he became an inventor and not only did he enrich the torture chamber by importing from India several scientifically constructed machines hither to unknown to Europe but he also designed many others people told with Terror of reads cut in the form of whistles which the Abby pitilessly forced under the nails of malignants of iron pincers for tearing out their beards eyelashes and eyebrows of wicks steeped in oil and wound around the fingers of a victim's hands and then set on fire so as to form a pair of five flamed candelabra of a case turning on a pivot in which a man who refused to be converted was sometimes shut up the case being then made to revolve rapidly till until the victim lost Consciousness and lastly a fets used when taking prisoners from one town to another and brought to such Perfection that when they were on the prisoner could neither stand nor sit even the most fervent panagaris of ab deila spoke of him with baited breath and when he himself looked into his own heart and recalled how often he had applied to the body the power to bind and loose which God had only given him over the soul he was seized with strange Tremors and falling on his knees with folded hands and bowed head he remained for hours wrapped in thought so motionless that it were not for the drops of sweat which stood on his brow he might have been taken for a marble statue of prayer over a tomb moreover this priest by virtue of the powers with which he was invested and feeling that he had the authority of mure De bavil intendant of langued and de brogle commander of the troops behind him had done other terrible things he had separated children from father and mother and had shut them up in religious houses where they had been subjected to such severe chastisement by way of making them do Penance for the heresy of their parents that many of them died under it he had forced his way into the Chamber of the dying not to bring consolation but menaces and bending over the bed as if to keep back the angel of death he had repeated the words of the terrible decree which provided that in case of the death of a hugenot without conversion his memory should be persecuted and his body denied Christian burial should be drawn on hurdles out of the city and cast on a dung Heap lastly when the pious love children tried to Shield their parents in the death Agony from his threats or dead from his his Justice by carrying them dead or dying to some refuge in which they might hope to draw their last breath in peace or to obtain Christian burial he declared that anyone who should open his doors hospitably to such Disobedience was a traitor to religion although among the Heathen such pity would have been deemed worthy of an altar such was the man raised up to punish who went on his way preceded by Terror accompanied by torture and followed by death through a country already exhausted by long and bloody oppression and where at every step he trod on half repressed religious hate which like a volcano was ever ready to burst out aresh that always prepared for martyrdom nothing held him back and years ago he had had his grave hollowed out in the Church of St Germaine choosing that church for his last long sleep because it had been built by Pope Urban IV when he was Bishop of men AB jaila extended his visitation over six months during which every day was marked by tortures and executions several prophets were burned at the stake franois de Brees she who had preached that the host contained a more venomous poison than a basilisk's head was hanged and Lao who had been confined in the Citadel of Mont pelier was on the point of being broken on the Wheel when on the eve of his execution his cell was found empty no one could ever discover how he escaped and consequently his reputation Rose higher than ever it being currently believed that led by the Holy Spirit as St Peter by the angel he had passed through the guards invisible to all leaving his Fetters behind this incomprehensible escape redoubled the severity of the arch priest till at last the prophets Fe feeling that their only chance of safety lay in getting rid of him began to preach against him as Antichrist and Advocate his death The Abbey was warned of this but nothing could Abate his Zeal in France as in India martydom was his longed for goal and with head erect and unfaltering step he pressed toward the Mark at last on the evening of the 24th of July 200 conspirators met in a wood on the top of a hill which overlooked the bridge of Mont ver near which was the arch priest residence their leader was a man named leaport a native of Alay who had become a master blacksmith in the pass of Dez he was accompanied by an inspired man a former wool Carter born at magal espr seure by name this man was after Lao the most highly regarded of the 20 or 30 prop prophets who were at that moment going up and down the Sven in every direction the whole party was armed with size howars and swords a few had even pistols and guns on the stroke of 10 the hour fixed for their departure they all knelt down and with uncovered heads began praying as fervently as if they were about to perform some ACT most pleasing to God and their prayers ended they marched down the hill to the town singing s Psalms and shouting between the verses to the town's people to keep within their homes and not to look out of door or window on pain of death The Abbey was in his oratory when he heard the mingled singing and shouting and at the same moment a servant entered in great alarm despite the strict regulation of the arch priest that he was never to be interrupted at his prayers this man announced that a body of Fanatics was coming down the hill but the Abbey felt convinced that it was only an unorganized crowd which was going to try and carry off six prisoners at that moment in the seps a terrible kind of stocks a beam split in two no notches being made for the legs the victim's legs were placed between the two pieces of wood which were then by means of a vice at each end brought gradually together translators note these prisoners were three young men and three girls in men's clothes who had been seized just as they were about to immigrate as the Abbey was always protected by a guard of soldiers he sent for the officer in command and ordered him to March against the Fanatics and disperse them but the officer was spared the trouble of obeying for the Fanatics were already at hand on reaching the Gate of the courtyard he heard them outside and perceived that they were making ready to burst it in judging of their numbers by by the sound of their voices he considered that far from attacking them he would have enough to do in preparing for defense consequently he bolted and barred the gate on the inside and hastily erected a barricade under an arch leading to the apartments of the Abbey just as these preparations were complete espr seure caught sight of a heavy beam of wood lying in a ditch this was raised by a dozen men and used as a battering ram to force in the gate which soon soon showed a breach thus encouraged the workers cheered by the chance of their comrades soon got the gate off the hinges and thus the outside Court was taken the crowd then loudly demanded the release of the prisoners using dire threats the commanding officer sent to ask the Abbey what he was to do the Abbey replied that he was to fire on the conspirators this imprudent order was carried out one of the Fanatics was killed on the spot and two two wounded men mingled their groans with the songs and threats of their comrades the barricade was next attacked some using axes others darting their swords and how Bears through the crevices and killing Those Behind as for those who had Firearms they climbed on the shoulders of others and having fired at those below saved themselves by tumbling down again at the head of the besiegers were leaport and espr sigur one of whom had a father to avenge and the other a son both of whom had been done to death by The Abbey they were not the only ones of the party who were fired by the desire of Vengeance 12 or 15 others were in the same position The Abbey in his room listened to the noise of the struggle and finding matters growing serious he gathered his household around him and making them kneel down he told them to make their confessions that he might by giving them Absolution prepare them for appearing before God the sacred words had just been pronounced when the riers Drew near having carried the barricade and driven the soldiers to take refuge in a hall on the ground floor just under the arch priest's room but suddenly the assault was stayed some of the men going to surround the house others setting out on a search for the prisoners these were easily found for judging by what they could hear that their Brethren had come to their rescue they shouted as loudly as they could the unfortunate creatures had already passed a whole week with their legs caught and pressed by the cleft beams which formed these inexpressibly painful stocks when the unfortunate victims were released the Fanatics screamed with rage at the sight of their swollen bodies and half broken bones none of the unhappy people were able to stand the attack on the soldiers was renewed and these being driven out of the lower Hall filled the staircase leading to the aby's apartments and offered with such determined resistance that their asant were twice forced to fall back leaport seeing two of his men killed and five or six wounded called out loudly children of God lay down your arms this way of going to work is too slow let us burn the Abbey and all in it to work to work the advice was good and they all hastened to follow it benches chairs and furniture of All Sorts were heaped up in the hall a Blaze thrown on the top and the pile fired in a moment the whole building was Ablaze and the arch priest yielding to the entreaties of his servants fastened his sheets to the window bars and by their help dropped into the garden the drop was so great that he broke one of his thigh bones but dragging himself Along on his hands and one knee he with one of his servants reached a recess in the wall while another servant was endeavoring to escape Through the flames thus falling into the hands of the Fanatics who carried him before their Captain then cries of the Prophet The Prophet were heard on all sides espri sigure feeling that something fresh had taken place came forward still holding in his hand the Blazing torch with which he had set fire to the pile brother asked leaport pointing to the prisoner is this man to die APR sigar fell on his knees and covered his face with his mantle like Samuel and sought the Lord in prayer asking to know his will in a short time he rose and said this man is not to Die For in as much as he has showed Mercy to our brethren we must show Mercy to him whether this fact had been miraculously revealed to sigure or whether he had gained his information from other sources the newly released prisoners confirmed its truth calling out that the man had indeed treated them with Humanity just then a Roar as of a wild beast was heard one of the Fanatics whose brother had been put to death by The Abbey had just caught sight of him the whole neighborhood being lit up by the fire he was kneeling in an angle of the wall to which he had dragged himself down with the son of bile shouted the crowd rushing towards the priest who remained kneeling and motionless like a marble statue his valet took advantage of the confusion to escape and got off easily for the the sight of him on whom the general hate was concentrated made the hugenots forget everything else espr seur was the first to reach the priest and spreading his hands over him he commanded the others to hold back God desireth not the death of a sinner said he but rather that he turn from his wickedness and live no no shouted a score of voices refusing obedience for the first time perhaps to an order from the prophet let him die without Mercy as he struck Without Pity death to the son of bile death silence exclaimed the prophet in a terrible voice and listen to the word of God from my mouth if this man will join us and take up on him the duties of a pastor let us Grant him his life that he may henceforward devote it to the spread of the true Faith rather a thousand deaths than apostasy answered the priest die then cried leaport stabbing him take that for having burnt my father in nemes and he passed on the dagger to a spre sigure tchila made neither sound nor gesture it would have seemed as if the dagger had been turned by the priest's gown as by a coat of May were it not that a thin stream of blood appeared raising his eyes to Heaven he repeated the words of the penitential Psalm out of the depths have I Cried unto thee Oh Lord Lord hear my voice then a spr seur raised his arm and struck in his turn saying take that for my son whom you broke on the wheel at Mont pelier and he passed on the dagger but this blow also was not mortal only another stream of blood appeared and the Abbey said in a failing voice Deliver Me Oh My Savior out of my well-merited sufferings and I will acknowledge their Justice far I have been a man of blood the next who sees the dagger came near and gave his blow saying take that for my brother whom you Let Die in the seps this time the dagger pierced the heart and the Abbey had only time to ejaculate have mercy on me oh God according to thy great Mercy before he fell back dead but his death did not satisfy the Vengeance of those who had not been able to strike him living one by one they drew near and stabbed each invoking the shade of some dear murdered one and pronouncing the same words of malediction in all the body of the Abbey received 52 dagger thrusts of which 24 would have been mortal thus perished at the age of 55 Miss franois delang glad da Chila prior of Laval inspector of missions in jodon an arch priest of the S and menend their Vengeance thus accomplished the murderers felt that there was no more safety for them in either City or plain and fled to the mountains but in passing near the resident of mure Dez a Catholic nobleman of the Parish of Meson one of the fugitives recollected that he had heard that a great number of firearms was kept in the house this seemed a lucky chance for the Firearms were what the hugenots needed most of all they therefore sent two envoys to mure Dez to ask him to give them at least a share of his weapons but he as a good Catholic replied that it was quite true that he had indeed a store of arms but that they were destined to the Triumph and not to the desecration of religion and that he would only give them up with his life with these words he dismissed the envoys barring his doors behind them end of chapter 2 Section 1 chapter 2 part two but while this parlay was going on the conspirators had approached the Chateau and thus received the Valiant answer to their demands sooner than mour deza had counted on resolving not to leave him time to take defensive measures they dashed at the house and by standing on each other's shoulders reached the room in which mure Dez and his entire family had taken refuge in an instant the door was forced and the Fanatics still wreaking with the lifeblood of ab decha began again their work of death no one was spared neither the Master of the House nor his brother nor his uncle nor his sister who knelt to the assassins in vain even his old mother who was 80 years of age having from her bed first witnessed the murder of all her family was at last stabbed to the heart though The Butchers might have reflected that it was hardly worthwhile thus to anticipate the arrival of death who according to the laws of nature must have been already at hand the massacre finished the Fanatics spread over the castle supplying themselves with arms and underlinen being badly in need of the latter for when they left their homes they had expected soon to return and had taken nothing with them they also carried off the copper kitchen utensils intending to turn them into bullets finally They seized on a sum of 5,000 Franks the marriage portion of mure Dez's sister who was just about to be married and thus laid the foundation of a war fund the news of these two bloody events V soon reach not only nemes but all the countryside and Rous the authorities to action m l comp de broi crossed the upper Sven and marched down to the bridge of Mont ver followed by several companies of fusiliers from another Direction mure L comp DEA brought 32 Cavalry and 350 infantry having enlisted them at marvol laog chak and saret mosure to St Paul AB dea's brother and the Marquee deila his nephew brought 80 Horsemen from the family estates the count of moranz rode in from St albal and Malu with two companies of Calvary and the town of Menda by order of its Bishop dispatched its Nobles at the head of three companies of 50 men each but the mountains had swallowed up the Fanatics and nothing was ever known of their fate except that from time to time a peasant would relate that in crossing the Sven he had heard at dawn or dusk on mountain peak or from Valley depths the sound going up to heaven of songs of praise it was The Fanatic assassins worshiping God or occasionally at night on the tops of the lofty mountains fires Shone forth which appeared to Signal one to another but on looking the next night in the same direction all was dark so mure brole concluding that nothing could be done against enemies who were invisible disbanded the troops which had come to his Aid and went back to Mont pelier leaving a company of fuselier at koay another at SS one at the bridge of Mont ver one at B and one at ppon and appointing Captain p as their Chief this choice of such a man as Chief showed that monu de brogle was a good judge of human nature and was also perfectly acquainted with the situation for Captain P was the very man to take a leading part in the coming struggle he was says per L LEL priest of the Christian doctrine and cure of St Germaine de calbera an officer of Merit and reputation born in V duar near Kasson who had when young served in Hungary and Germany and distinguished himself in Piedmont in several excursions against the barbett a name applied first to the Alpine Smugglers who lived in The Valleys later to the Insurgent peasants in the Sven translators note notably in one of the later ones when entering the tent of their Chief barban Naga he cut off his head his tall and agile figure his warlike air his love of hard work his harsh voice his fiery and austere character his carelessness in regard to dress his mature age his tried courage his taciturn habit the length and weight of his sword all combined to render him formidable therefore no one could have been chosen more suitable for putting down the Rebels for forcing their entrenchments and for putting them into flight hardly had he taken up a position in the market town of labar which was to be his headquarters then he was informed that a gathering of Fanatics had been seen on the little plane of font Mora which formed a pass between two valleys he ordered out his Spanish Steed which he was accustomed to ride in the Turkish manner that is with very short stirrups so that he could throw himself forward to the horse's ear or backward to the tail according as he wished to give or avoid a mortal blow taking with him 18 men of his own company and 25 from the town he at once set off for the place indicated not considering any larger number necessary to put to route a band of peasants however numerous the information turned out to be correct aund reformers led by a free sigure had encamped in the plain of fond Mor and about 11:00 in the morning one of their Sentinels in the Dei gave the Alarm by firing off his gun and returning back to the camp shouting two arms but Captain p with his usual impetuosity did not give the insurgents time to form but threw himself upon them to the beat of the drum not in the least deterred by their first volley as he had expected the band consisted of undisciplined peasants who once scattered were unable to Rally they were therefore completely routed P killed several with his own hand among whom were two whose heads he cut off as cleverly as the most experienced executioner could have done thanks to the marvelous temper of his Damascus blade at this sight all who had till then stood their ground took flight pull at their heels slashing with his sword unceasingly till they disappeared among the mountains he then returned to the field of battle picked up the two heads and fastening them to his saddle bow rejoined his soldiers with his bloody trophies that is to say he joined the largest group of soldiers he could find for the fight had turned into a number of single combatants every Soldier fighting for himself here he found three prisoners who were about to be shot but P ordered that they should not be touched not that he thought for an instant of sparing their lives but that he wished to reserve them for a public execution these three men were Nel a parishioner of valon M Bonet of Pier Mal and espri sigure the prophet Captain P returned to Bar carrying with him his two heads and his three prisoners and immediately reported to mon juice de bavil intendant of ladok the important capture he had made the prisoners were quickly tried Pier nuel was condemned to be burnt alive at the bridge of Mont ver MCE Bonet to be broken on the wheel at dezza and desure to be hanged at Andre delanis thus those who were amateurs in executions had a sufficient choice however muaz bouret saved himself by becoming Catholic but Pierre Nel and espri sigar died as Martyrs making profession of the new faith and praising God two days after the sentence on espri sigar had been carried out the body disappeared from The Gallows a nephew of leaport named Rolan had audaciously carried it off leaving behind a writing nailed to the jibbit this was a challenge from leaport to p and was dated from the camp of the Eternal God in the desert of Sven leaport signing himself Colonel of the children of God who seek Liberty of conscience P was about to accept the challenge when he learned that the Insurrection was spreading on every side a young man of vju 26 years of age named Solomon kudak had succeeded espr sigar in the office of profet and two young lieutenants had joined leaport one of these was his nephew Roland a man of about 30 Pock marked Fair thin cold and reserved he was not tall but very strong and of inflexible Courage the other enri castan of masak was a keeper from the mountain of leol whose skill as a marksman was so well known that it was said he never missed a shot each of these lieutenants had 50 men under him prophets and prophetesses too increased the pace so that hardly a day passed without reports being heard of fresh ones who were rousing whole Villages by their ravings in the meantime a great meeting of the Protestants of langued had been held in the fields of Al at which it had been resolved to join forces with the rebels of the Sven and to send a messenger tither to make this resolution known leaport had just returned from laan where he had been making recruits when this good news arrived he had once sent his nephew Roland to the new allies with power to pledge his word in return for theirs and to describe to them in order to attract them the country which he had chosen as the theater of the coming war and which thanks to its hamlets its Woods its defiles its valleys its precipices and its caves was capable of affording cover to as many bands of insurgents as might be employed would be a good rallying ground after repulse and contained suitable positions for ambas scads orand was so successful in his mission that these new soldiers of the Lord as they called themselves on learning that he had once been a Dron offered him the post of leader which he accepted and returned to his uncle at the head of an army being thus reinforced the reformers divided themselves into three B lands in order to spread abroad their beliefs through the entire district one went towards sustella and the neighborhood of Al Another towards St priva and the bridge of Mt ver while the third followed the mountain slope down to St ran Leu and bar the first was commanded by castan the second by Roland and the third by leaport each party ravaged the country as it passed returning death blow for death blow and conflagration for conflagration so that hearing one after another of these outrages Captain P demanded reinforcements from M de brogi and mour de bavil which were promptly dispatched as soon as Captain P found himself at the head of a sufficient number of troops he determined to attack the rebels he had received intelligence that the band Led by leaport was just about to pass through the valley of CRA below bar near talog in consequence of this information he lay in Ambush at a favorable spot on the route as soon as the reformers who were without suspicion were well within the narrow pass in which P awaited them he issued forth at the head of his soldiers and charged the rebels with such courage and impetuosity that they taken by surprise made no attempt at resistance but thoroughly demoralized spread over the mountain side putting a greater and greater distance at every instant between themselves and the enemy despite the efforts of leaport to make them stand their ground at last seeing himself deserted leaport began to think of his own safety but it was already too late for he was surrounded by drons and the only way of retreat open to him lay over a large rock this he successfully scaled but before trying to get down the other side he raised his hands in supplication to Heaven at that instant a volley was fired two bullets struck him and he fell head foremost down the precipice when the drons reached the foot of the rock they found him dead as they knew he was the chief of the rebels his body was searched 60 Louie was found in his pocket and a sacred chalice which he was in the habit of using as an ordinary drinking cup p cut off his head and the heads of 12 other reformers found dead on the field of battle and enclosing them in a wicker basket sent them to M ju B the reformers soon recovered from this defeat and death joined all their forces into one body and placed Roland at their head in the place of leaport Roland chose a young man called kudak de Matel rosada who had assumed the name of lafur as his lieutenant and the rebel forces were not only quickly reorganized but made complete by the addition of a hundred men raised by the new lieutenant and soon gave a sign that they were again on the war path by burning down the churches of bus kasna and and prune then first it was that the consoles of Menda began to realize that it was no longer an Insurrection they had on hand but a war and Menda being the capital of gon and liable to be attacked at any moment they set themselves to bring into repair their counters scarps ravins bastions Gates portcullises moates walls turrets ramparts parapets watchtowers and the gear of their Cannon and having laid in a stock of firearms powder and ball they formed eight companies each 50 strong composed of townsmen and a further band of 150 peasants drawn from the neighboring country lastly the states of the province sent an Envoy to the king praying him graciously to take measures to check the plague of heresy which was spreading from day to day the king at once sent mure Julian in answer to the petition thus th it was no longer simple governors of towns nor even Chiefs of provinces who were engaged in the struggle royalty itself had come to the rescue mure deulen born a Protestant was a member of the nobility of orange and in his youth had served against France and borne arms in England and Ireland when William of Orange succeeded James II as king of England julan was one of his pages and received as a reward reward for his Fidelity in the famous campaign of 1688 the command of a regiment which was sent to the aid of the Duke of Savoy who had begged both England and Holland to help him he bore himself so gallantly that it was in great part due to him that the French were forced to raise the siege of Ki whether it was that he expected too much from this success so that the Duke of SEO did not recognize his services at their worth He withdrew to Geneva where Louis the 14th hearing of his discontent caused overtures to be made to him with a view to drawing him into the French service he was offered the same rank in the French army as he had held in the English with a pension of 3,000 livers mure deulen accepted and feeling that his religious belief would be in the way of his advancement when he changed his master he changed his church he was given the command of the valley of barceloneta whence he made many excursions against the barbett then he was transferred to the command of the aen of the principality of orange in order to guard the passes so that the French Protestants could not pass over the frontier for the purpose of worshiping with their Dutch Protestant Brethren and after having tried this for a year he went to Versailles to report himself to the king while he was there it chance that the envoy from jalon arrived and the King being satisfied with Dean's conduct since he had entered his service made him Major General Chevalier of the military order of St Louie and commander-in-chief in the Viv and the s mour deulen from the first felt that the situation was very grave and saw that his predecessors had felt such great contempt for the Heretics that they had not realized the danger of the Revolt he immediately proceeded to inspect in person the different points where mure de broi had placed detachments of the tal and marceli regiments it is true that he arrived by the light of 30 burning Village churches Mon de broi Mon de bavil mure de julen and Captain P met together to consult as to the best means of putting an end to these disorders it was agreed that the Royal troops should be divided into two bodies one under the command of M deulen to advance on Al where it was reported large meetings of the rebels were taking taking place and the other under mour de bro to March about in the neighborhood of nemes consequently the two chiefs separated mour L comp to brogi at the head of 62 drons and some companies of foot and having under him Captain p and mure dville set out from cavar on the 12th of January at 2 a.m. and having searched without finding anything The Vineyards of nemes and L garig de Mila took the road to bridge of lunel there he was informed that those he was in search of had been seen at the chatau of cak the day before he therefore at once set out for the forest which lies around it not doubting to find the Fanatics in trench there but contrary to his expectations it was vacant he then pushed on to Val from Val to bason from bason to janak where he learned that a troop of Rebels had passed the night there and in the morning had left for auor resolved to give them no rest M broi set out at once for this Village when halfway there a member of his staff thought he could distinguish a crowd of men near a house about half a league distant mure de brogi instantly ordered sir de jber Captain Paul's Lieutenant who was riding close by at the head of his company to take eight drons and make a reconnaissance in order to ascertain who these men were while the rest of the troops would make a halt the little band Led by its officer crossed a clearing in the wood and advanced towards the Farmhouse which was called the ma de garel and which now seemed deserted but when they were within half a gunshot of the wall the charge was sounded behind it and a band of rebels rushed towards them while from a neighboring house a second troop emerged and looking round he perceived a third lying on their faces in a small wood these latter suddenly stood up and approached him singing Psalms as it was impossible for mure deeran to hold his ground against so large a force he ordered two shots to be fired as a warning to De brogue and advanced to meet him and fell back on his comrades indeed the rebels had only pursued him till they had reached a favorable position on which they took their stand Mon de bro having surveyed the whole position with the aid of a telescope held a council of war and it was decided that an attack should be made forth with they therefore Advanced on the rebels in line Captain p on the right mure dorville on the left and count brogley in the center as they got near they could see that the rebels had chosen their ground within am Mount of strategical sagacity they had never till then displayed this skill in making their dispositions was evidently due to their having found a new leader whom no one knew not even Captain P although they could see him at the head of of his men carbine in hand however these scientific preparations did not stop mour brog he gave the order to charge and adding example to precept urged his horse to a Gallop the rebels in the first rank knelt on one knee so that the rank behind could take Aim and the distance between the two bodies of troops disappeared rapidly thanks to the impetuosity of the drons but suddenly when within 30 Paces of the enemy the Royals found eles on the edge of a deep ravine which separated them from the enemy like a moat some were able to check their horses in time but others despite desperate efforts pressed upon by those behind were pushed into the Ravine and rolled helplessly to the bottom at the same moment the order to fire was given in a sonorous voice there was a rattle of musketry and several drons near M brole fell forward cried Captain P forward and putting his horse at a part of the Ravine where the sides were less steep he was soon struggling up the opposite side followed by a few drons death to the son of bile cried the same voice which had given the order to fire at that moment a single shot rang out Captain P threw up his hands letting his saber go and fell from his horse which instead of running away touched his master with its smoking nostrils then lifting its head n long and low the drons retrea so perish all the persecutors of Israel cried the leader brandishing his carbine he then dashed down into the Ravine picked up Captain P's saber and jumped upon his horse the animal faithful to its old Master showed some signs of resistance but soon felt by the pressure of its Rider's knees that it had to do with one whom it could not readily unseat nevertheless it reared and bounded but the horsemen kept his seat and as if recognized izing that it had met its match the noble animal tossed its head n once more and gave in while this was going on a party of kards a name given to the Insurgent Calvinists after the revocation of the Edict of nanes translators note and one of the drons had got down into the Ravine which had in consequence been turned into a battlefield while those who remained above on either side took advantage of their position to fire down at their enemies mour de dorville in command of the drons fought among the others like a simple Soldier and received a serious wound in the head his men beginning to lose ground mono tried to Rally them but without aail and while he was thus occupied his own troop ran away so seeing there was no Prospect of winning the battle he and a few Valiant men who had remained near him dashed forward to extricate mure duville who taking advantage of the opening thus made retreated his wound bleeding profusely on the other hand the kads perceiving at some distance bodies of infantry coming up to reinforce the Royals instead of pursuing their foes contented themselves with keeping up a thick and well- directed musketry fire from the position in which they had won such a quick and easy Victory as soon as the Royal forces were Out Of Reach of their weapons the rebel Chief knelt down and chanted the song the Israelites sang when having crossed the Red Sea in safety they saw the army of the Pharaoh swallowed up in the waters so that although no longer Within Reach of bullets their defeated troops were still pursued by songs of Victory their thanksgivings ended the Calvinists withdrew into the forest led by their new Chief who had at his first assay shown the great extent of his knowledge coolness and courage this new Chief whose superiors were soon to become his lieutenants was the famous Jean cavaler Jean caver was was then a young man of 23 of less than medium height but of great strength his face was oval with regular features his eyes sparkling and beautiful he had long chestnut hair falling on his shoulders and an expression of remarkable sweetness he was born in 1680 at rout a village in the dases of La where his father had rented a small farm which he gave up when his son was about 15 coming to live at the farm of St andol near Mena Young kav who was only a peasant and the son of a peasant began Life as a Shepherd at the sir de laas a citizen of vorra but as the lonely life dissatisfied a young man who was eager for pleasure Jean gave it up and apprenticed himself to a baker of andus there he developed a great love for everything connected with the military he spent all his free time watching the soldiers at their drill and soon became intimate with some of them among amongst others with a fencing master who gave him lessons and a draon who taught him to ride on a certain Sunday he was taking a walk with his sweetheart on his arm the young girl was insulted by a draon of the Marquee de fues regiment Jean boxed the dragon's ears who drew his sword cavier seized the sword from one of the bystanders but the combatants were prevented from fighting by Jean's friends hearing of the quarrel an officer hurried up it was the Marquee def F himself captain of the regiment which bore his name but when he arrived on the scene he found not the Arrogant peasant who had dared to attack a soldier of the king but only the young girl who had fainted the town's people having persuaded her lover to DeCamp the young girl was so beautiful that she was commonly called Lael isabo and the Marquee de florac instead of pursuing Jean caver occupied himself in Reviving isabo as it was however a serious Affair and as the entire regiment had sworn caber's death his friends advised him to leave the country for a Time Lael isabo trembling for the safety of her lover joined her inent treaties to those of his friends and Jean Kayer yielded the young girl promised him inviolable Fidelity and he relying on This Promise went to Geneva there he made the acquaintance of a Protestant gentleman called ducer who having glass works at the M aritas quite near the farm of St andiol had undertaken several times at the request of Jean's father Jerome to convey money to je for duer went very often to Geneva professedly on business Affairs but really in the interests of the reformed Faith between the outlaw and the Apostle Union was natural ducera found in caver a young man of robust nature active imagination and IR reproachable courage he confided in him his hopes of converting all langued and Viv cavier felt himself drawn back there by many ties especially by patriotism and love he crossed the frontier once more disguised as a servant in the suite of a Protestant gentleman he arrived one night at andu and immediately directed his steps to the house of isabo he was just about to knock although it was 1:00 in the morning when the door was opened from within and a handsome young man came out who took tender leave of a woman on the threshold the handsome young man was the Marquee de flak the woman was isabo the promised wife of the peasant had become the Mistress of the noble our hero was not the man to suffer such an outrage quietly he walked straight up to the Marquee and stood right in his way the Marquee tried to push him aside with his elbow but jean Cavalier letting fall the cloak in which he was wrapped drew his sword the Marquee was Brave and did not stop to inquire if he who attacked him was his equal or not sword answered sword the blades crossed and at the end of a few instants the Marquee fell Jean's sword piercing his chest cavaler felt sure that he was dead for he lay at his feet motionless he knew he had no time to lose for he had no mercy to hope for he replaced his bloody sword in the Scabbard and made for the Open Country from the Open Country he hurried into the mountains and then at break of day he was in safety The Fugitive remained the whole day in an isolated Farmhouse whose inmates offered him Hospitality as he very soon felt that he was in the house of a co-religionist he confided to his host the circumstances in which he found himself and asked where he could meet with an organized band in which he could enroll himself in order to fight for the propagation of the reformed religion the farmer mentioned jarok as being a place in which he would would probably find a hundred or so of the Brethren gathered together caver set out that same evening for this Village and arrived in the middle of the kads at the very moment when they had just caught sight of M brogi and his troops in the distance the Calvinists happening to have no leader cavaler with governing faculty which some men possess by Nature placed himself at their head and took those measures for the reception of the royal forces of which we have seen the result so that after the vict ictory to which his head and arm had contributed so much he was confirmed in the title which he had arrogated to himself by acclamation such was the famous Jean Cavalier when the royalists first learned of his existence through the repulse of their bravest troops and the death of their most Intrepid Captain the news of this Victory soon spread through the svan and fresh conflagrations lit up the mountains in sign of Joy the beacons were for formed of the Chateau de laasd the residence of the Marquee de shamona the Church of Samson and the village of grer where of 80 houses only seven were left standing thereupon M de julen wrote To The King explaining the serious turn things had taken and telling him that it was no longer a few Fanatics wandering through the mountains and flying at the sight of a draon whom they had to put down but organized companies well-led and officered which if United would form an army 12 to 1500 strong the king replied by sending mure La comp to monal Tes he was the son of the marishal de monal chaler of the order of the Holy Spirit Major General Lieutenant of the king Essa and chaet and captain of a hundred men-at-arms in their struggle against Shepherds Keepers and peasants M bro M julen and M de bavil were thus joined together with the head of the House of bone which had already at this epic produced two cardinals three archbishops two Bishops a vice Roy of Naples several Marshals of France and many governors of savoo dine and bressa he was followed by 20 pieces of ordinance 5,000 bullets 4,000 muskets and ,000 lb of powder all of which was carried down the river Ron while 600 these skillful Mountain Marksman called miket from rouson came down languid M de montravel was the bearer of terrible orders Louis the 14th was determined no matter what it cost to root out heresy and set about this work as if his eternal salvation depended on it as soon as moner de bavil had read these orders he published The Following Proclamation the king having been informed that certain people without religion bearing arms have been guilty of violence burning down churches and killing priests his majesty hereby commands all his subjects to hunt these people down and that those who are taken with arms in their hands or found amongst their bands be punished with death without any trial whatever and their houses be raised to the ground and their goods confiscated and that all buildings in which Assemblies of these people have been held be demolished the king further forbids fathers mothers brothers sisters and other relations of the Fanatics or of other Rebels to give them Refuge food stores ammunition or other assistance of any kind under any pretext whatever either directly or indirectly on pain of being reputed accessory to the rebellion and He commands the sir de bavil and whatever officers he may choose to prosecute such and pronounce senten of of death on them furthermore his majesty commands that all the inhabitants of languedoc who may be absent at the date of the issue of this Proclamation return home within a week unless their absence be caused by legitimate business in which case they shall declare the same to the commandant the de montravel or to the intendant the sir de bavil and also to the Mayors and cils of the places where they may be receiving from the latter certificate gets that there is a sufficient reason for their delay which certificates they shall forward to the above mentioned commandant or intendant and His Majesty furthermore commands that said commandant and intendant to admit no Foreigner or inhabitant of any other province into languedoc for commercial purposes or for any other reason whatsoever unless provided with certificates from the commandants or intendant of the provinces whence they come or from the judges of The Royal courts in the places when they come or from the nearest place containing such courts foreigners must be provided with passports from the ambassadors or Ministers of the king accredited to the countries to which they belong or from the commandants or intendant of the provinces or from the judges of The Royal courts of the places in which they may be at the date of this Proclamation furthermore it is his Majesty's will that those who are found in the afores said province of languedoc without such certificates be regarded as Fanatics and Rebels and that they be prosecuted as such and punished with death and that they be brought for this purpose before the afores said sir de bavil or the officers whom he may choose signed counter signed Louie Filippo given at verai the 25th day of the month of February 1703 mure de mon Trel obeyed this proclamation to to the letter for instance one day the 1st of April 1703 as he was seated at dinner it was reported to him that about 150 reformers were assembled in a mill at Karm outside neem singing Psalms although he was told at the same time that the Gathering was composed entirely of old people and children he was nonetheless Furious and rising from the table gave orders that the call to horse should be sounded putting himself at the head of his drons he Advanced on the mill and before the hugenots knew that they were about to be attacked they were surrounded on every side it was no combat which ensued for the hugenots were incapable of resistance it was simply a massacre and certain number of the drons entered the mill sword in hand stabbing all whom they could reach whilst the rest of the force stationed outside before the windows received those who jumped out on the points of their swords but soon this Butchery tired The Butchers and to get over the business more quickly the Marshall who was anxious to return to his dinner gave orders that the mill should be set on fire this being done the drons the marshals still at their head no longer exerted themselves so violently but were satisfied with pushing back into the Flames the few unfortunates who scorched and burnt rushed out begging only for a less cruel death only one victim escaped a beautiful young girl of 16 was saved by the Marshall's valet both were taken and condemned to death the young girl was hanged and the valet was on the point of being executed when some Sisters of Mercy from the town threw themselves at the Marshall's feet and begged for his life after long supplication he granted their prayer but he banished the valet not only from his service but from nemes the very same evening at supper word was brought to the Marshall that another Gathering had been discovered in a garden near The Still Smoking Mill the indefatigable Marshall again Rose from the table and taking with him his faithful Dron surrounded the garden and caught and shot on the spot all those who were assembled in it the next day it turned out that he had made a mistake Those whom he had shot were Catholics who had gathered together to Rejoice over the execution of the Calvinists it is true that they had assured the Marshall that they were Catholics but he had refused to listen to them let us however hasten to assure the reader that this mistake caused no further annoyance to the Marshal except that he received a paternal remonstrance from the bishop of nemes begging him in the future not to confound the sheep with the Wolves end of chapter 2 part two chapter 2 part three in requital of these bloody Deeds Cavalier took the Chateau of sarra occupied the town of suave formed a company of horse and advancing to nemes took forcible possession of sufficient ammunition for his purposes lastly he did something which in the eyes of the courtiers seemed the most incredible thing of all he actually wrote a long letter to Louis the 14th himself this letter was dated from the desert San and signed Cavalier commander of the troops sent by God its purpose was to prove by numerous passages from holy RIT that cavaliere and his comrades had been led to revolt solely from a sense of Duty feeling that Liberty of conscience was their right and it dilated on the subject of the persecutions under which Protestants had suffered and asserted that it was the infamous measures put in force against them which had driven them to take up arms which they were ready to lay down if his majesty would grant them that Liberty in matters of religion which they sought and if he would liberate all who were in prison for their faith If This Were accorded he assured the king his majesty would have no more faithful subjects than themselves and would henceforth be ready to shed their last drop of blood in his service and wound up by saying that if their just demands were refused they would obey God rather than the king and would defend their religion to their last breath Roland who whether mockery or Pride began now to call himself compt Roland did not lag behind his young brother either as Warrior or correspondent he had entered the town of GTH where a wonderful reception awaited him but not feeling sure that he would be equally well received at St Germaine and St Andre he had written the following letters gentlemen and officers of the king's forces and citizens of St Germaine make ready to receive 700 troops who have vowed to set Babylon on fire the Seminary and the houses of mures de frre de SAS deol de ruier Deus and desier will be burnt to the Ground God by his holy spirit has inspired My Brother cavaliere and Me with the purpose of entering your town in a few days however strongly you fortify yourselves the children of God will bear away the victory if ye doubt this come in your number ye soldiers of St eten bar and fak to the field of De we shall be there to meet you come ye Hypocrites if your hearts fail not comp Roland the second letter was no less violent it was as follows we comp Roland general of the Protestant troops of France assembled in the Sven in langued EN Joy on the inhabitants of the town of St Andre of albourne to give proper notice notice to all priests and missionaries within it that we forbid them to say mass or to preach in the aforementioned town and that if they will avoid being burnt alive with their adherence in their churches and houses they are to withdraw to some other place within 3 days compt Roland unfortunately for the cause of the king though the rebels met with some resistance in The Villages of the plain such as St Germaine and St Andre it was otherwise with those situated in the mountains in those when beaten the Protestants found cover when Victorious rest so that mure de montravel becoming aware that while these Villages existed heresy would never be extrated issued the following ordinance we governor for his most Christian Majesty in the provinces of languedoc and Viv do hereby make known that it has pleased the king to command us to reduce all the places and parishes here and after name to such a condition that they can afford no assistance to the rebel troops no inhabitants will therefore be allowed to remain in them his majesty however Desiring to provide for the subsistence of the aforementioned inhabitants orders them to conform to the following regulations he enjoins on the aforementioned inhabitants of the here and after mentioned parishes to repair instantly to the places herea appointed with their Furniture cattle and in general all their movable effects declar ing that in case of Disobedience their effects will be confiscated and taken away by the troops employed to demolish their houses and it is hereby forbidden to any other commune to receive such Rebels under pain of having their houses also raised to the ground and their goods confiscated and furthermore being regarded and treated as Rebels to the commands of his majesty to this Proclamation were appended the following instructions one the officers who may be appointed to perform the above task shall first of all make themselves acquainted with the position of the parishes in villages which are to be destroyed and depopulated in order to an effective disposition of the troops who are to guard the militia engaged in the work of Destruction two the attention of the officers is called to the following when two or more Villages or hamlets are so near together that they may be protected at the same time by the same troops then in order to save time the work is to be carried on simultaneously in such Villages or hamlets three when inhabitants are found still remaining in any of the prescribed places they are to be brought together and a list made of them as well as an inventory taken of their stock and corn four those inhabitants who are of the most consequence among them shall be selected to guide the others to the place places assigned five with regard to the livestock the persons who may be found in charge of it shall drive it to the appointed place save and accept mules and asses which shall be employed in the transport of corn to whatever places it may be needed in nevertheless asses may be given to the very old and to women with child who may be unable to walk six a regular distribution of the militia is to be made so that each house to be destroyed may have a sufficient number for the task the foundations of such houses may be undermined or any other method employed which may be most convenient and if the house can be destroyed by no other means it is to be set on fire seven no damage is to be done to the houses of former Catholics until further notice and to ensure the carrying out of this order a guard is to be placed in them and an inventory of their contents taken and sent to marishal de mantal eight the order for ab bidding the inhabitants to return to their houses is to be read to the inhabitants of each Village but if any do return they shall not be harmed but simply driven away with threats for the king does not desire that blood be shed and the said order shall be affixed to a wall or tree in each Village nine where no inhabitant are found the said order shall Simply Be affixed As Above mentioned in each Place sign marishal deont Trel under these instructions the list of the villages to be destroyed was given it was as follows 18 in the Parish of fuger five in the Parish of FR deler four in the Parish of gak 15 in the Parish of

out for I September 26th 1703 in order that the work work might be carried out under his personal supervision he was accompanied by Mur de and de Marcel Colonels of infantry two battalions of the royal compa two of the S infantry the languedoc Regiment of drons and 200 drons from the fimaron regiment mon yulen on his side set out for the Pont deont fa at the same time with two battalions from heol accompanied by the ke of kayak Colonel of infantry who brought two battalions of his own regiment which was stationed in roer with him and comp deer who brought 55 companies of militia from Javon and followed by a number of mules loaded with crowbars axes and other iron instruments necessary for pulling down houses the approach of all these troops following close on the terrible proclamations we have given above produced exactly the contrary effect to that intended the inhabitants of the proscribed districts were convinced that the order to gather together in certain places was given that they might be conveniently massacred together so that all those capable of bearing arms went deeper into the mountains and joined the forces of cavalier and Roland thus reinforcing them to the number of 1500 men also hardly had mure deulen set his hand to the work then he received information from mure De Montreal who had heard the news through a letter from fleshier that while the Royal troops were busy in the mountains the kads had come down into the plain swarmed over Lamar and had been seen in the neighborhood of St J at the same time word was sent him that two ships had been seen in the offing from set and that it was more than probable that they contained troops that England and Holland were sending to help the kads moner deont Trel leaving the further conduct of the expedition to Mur the julen and the kayak hastened to set with 800 men and 10 guns and the ships were still in sight and were really as had been surmised two vessels which had been detached from the combined fleets of England and Holland by Admiral shovel and were the bearers of money arms and ammunition to the hugenots they continued to cruise about and signal but as the rebels were forced by the presence of Mon de manreal to keep away from the coast and could therefore make no answer they put off at length into the open and rejoined the fleet as mure deont Trel feared that their Retreat might be a faint he ordered all the fishermen's Huts from ort to St Jil to be destroyed lest they should afford shelter to the kads at the same time he carried off the inhabitants of the District of Guan and shut them up in the Chateau of somz after having demolished their Villages lastly he ordered all all those who lived in homesteads Farms or hamlets to quit them and go to some large Town taking with them all the provisions they were possessed of and he forbade any Workman who went outside the town to work to take more than one day's Provisions with him these measures had the desired effect but they were terrible in their results they deprived the kads of shelter indeed but they ruined the province mure de bavil despite his well-known severity tried monstrances but they were taken in bad part by mure deont Trel who told the intendant to mind his own business which was confined to civil matters and to leave military matters in his mure deont trel's hands whereupon the commandant joined moner de julen who was carrying on the work of Destruction with indefatigable Vigor in spite of all the enthusiasm with which mure de Julien went to work to accomplish his mission and being a new convert it was of course very great material hindrances hampered him at every step almost all the doomed houses were built on vaed foundations and were therefore difficult to lay low the distance of one house from another to their almost inaccessible position either on the peak of a high mountain or in the bottom of a Rocky Valley or buried in the depths of the forest which hid then like a veil made the difficulty still greater whole days were often lost by the workmen and militia in searching for the dwellings they came to destroy the immense size of the parishes also caused delay that of St Germaine de calbera for instance was nine leagues in circumference and contained 111 hamlets inhabited by 275 families of which only nine were catholic that of St eten Deval Frances was of still greater extent and its population was a third larger so that obstacles to the work multiplied in a remarkable manner for the first few days these soldiers and workmen found food in and around the Villages but this was soon at an end and as they could hardly expect the peasants to keep up the supply and the provisions they had brought with them being all so exhausted they were soon reduced to biscuit and water and they were not even able to make it into a warm Mess by heating the water as they had no vessels moreover when their Hard Day's Work was at an end they had but a handful of straw on which to lie these privations added to their hard and laborious life brought on an endemic fever which incapacitated for work many soldiers and laborers numbers of whom had to be dismissed very soon the unfortunate men who were almost as much to be pied as Those whom they were persecuting waited no longer to be sent away but deserted in numbers m sh deulen soon saw that all his efforts would end in Failure if he could not gain the king's consent to a slight change in the original plan he therefore wrote to verai and represented to the king how long the work would take if the means employed were only iron tools and the human hand instead of fire the only true instrument employed by heaven in its Vengeance he quoted in support of his petition the case of Sodom and Gomorrah those cities ACC cursed of the Lord Louis the 14th impressed by the truth of this comparison sent him back a messenger post haste authorizing him to employ the suggested means at once says per lyel the storm burst and soon of all the happy homesteads nothing was left the hamlets with their Barns and ouses the isolated farmhouses the single huts and Cottages every species of building in short disappeared before the Swift advancing Flames as wild wild flowers weeds and Roots fall before the plow share this destruction was accompanied by horrible cruelty for instance 25 inhabitants of a certain Village took refuge in a chateau the number consisted of children and very old people and they were all that was left of the entire population pal merol in command of the miket hearing of this hastened tither seized the first eight he could lay hold of and shot them on the spot to teach them as he says in his report not to choose a shelter which was not on the list of those permitted to them the Catholics also of St Florent Sena rouson and other parishes became excited at seeing the Flames which enveloped the houses of their old enemies joined together and arming themselves with everything that could be made to serve as an instrument of death set out to hunt the conscripts down They carried off the flocks of perlot Fontes and pya burned down a dozen houses at the Kad and from there went to the Village of breno drunk with the lust of Destruction there they massacred 52 persons among them mothers with unborn children and with these babes which they tore from them impaled on their Pikes and halberts they continued their March toward the Villages of St Deni and castol very soon these volunteers organized themselves into companies and became known under the name of cadets de la from a small white cross which they wore on their coats so the poor hugenots had a new species of enemy to contend with much more bloodthirsty than the drons and the mettes for while these latter simply obeyed orders from versailes nemes or Mont pelier the former gratified a personal hate a hate which had come down to them from their fathers in which they would pass onto to their children on the other hand the young hugenot leader who every day gained more influence over his soldiers tried to make the drons and Cadets de la suffer in return everything they inflicted on the hugenots except the murders in the night from the 2 to the 3rd October about 10:00 he came down into the plane and attacked somier from two different points setting fire to the houses the inhabitants seizing their arms made a sort but Cavalier charged them at the head of the Cavalry and forced them to retreat thereupon the governor whose Garrison was too small to leave the shelter of the walls turned his guns on them and fired Less in the hope of inflicting injury on them than in that of being heard by the neighboring garrisons the kads recognizing this danger retired but not before they had burnt down the hotels of the Cheval Blanc the calor the gr Louie and the Luxembourg as well as a great number of other houses and the church and the presbyter of St amand then the commad proceeded to Kyla and Val into which they entered destroying the fortifications there they provided themselves abundantly with Provisions for man and beast in val which was almost entirely inhabited by his co-religionist Cavalier assembled the inhabitants in the marketplace and made them join with him in prayer to God that he would prevent the king from following evil counsel he also exhorted his Brethren to be ready to sacrifice their goods and their lives for the reestablishment of their religion affirming that the Holy Spirit had revealed to him that the arm of the Lord which had always come to their aid was still stretched out over them Cavalier undertook these movements in the hope of interrupting the work of Destruction going on in Upper Sven and partly obtained the desired result for mure de julier received orders to come down into the Open Country and disperse the kads the troops tried to fulfill this task but thanks to the knowledge that the rebels had of the country it was impossible to come up with them so that feser who was in the thick of the executions conflagrations and massacres but who still found time to write Latin verse and Gallant letters said in speaking of them they were never caught and did all the damage they wished to do without let or hindrance we laid their mountains waste and they laid waste our plane there are no more churches left in our dicese and not being able either to plow or sew our lands we have no revenues we dread serious revolt and desire to avoid a religious Civil War so all our efforts are relaxing we let our arms fall without knowing why and we are told you must have patience it is not possible to fight against Phantoms nevertheless from time to time these Phantoms be became visible towards the end of October Cavalier came down to USU carried off two Sentinels who were guarding the gates and hearing the Call to Arms within shouted that he would await the governor of the city mure de vato near lucon and indeed cavier accompanied by his two lieutenants ravanel and ktina took his way towards this little town between uza and bajak which stands upon an Eminence surrounded upon all sides by Cliffs which serve it as ramp parts and render it very difficult of access having arrived within three gunshots of louson cavalier sent Ravenel to demand Provisions from the inhabitants but they proud of their natural ramp parts and believing their Town impregnable not only refused to comply with the requisition but fired several shots on the envoy one of which wounded in the arm a commissar of the name of L grander who had accompanied Ravenel Ravenel withdrew supporting his wounded comrade followed by shots and the hootings of the inhabitants when they rejoined Cavalier and made their report the young Commander issued orders to his soldiers to make ready to take the town the next morning for as night was already falling he did not venture to start in the dark in the meantime the besieged sent post haste to mure deat to warn him of their situation and resolving to defend themselves as long as they could while waiting for a response to their message they set about barricading their Gates turned their sides into weapons fastened large hooks on Long poles and collected all the instruments they could find that could be used in attack or defense as to the kads they encamped for the night near an old Chateau called fan about a gunshot from lucon at break of day loud shots from the town told the kads that the expected relief was in sight and looking out they saw in the distance a troop group of soldiers advancing towards them it was mour de fatat at the head of his regiment accompanied by 40 Irish officers the Protestants prepared themselves as usual by reciting Psalms and prayers notice without taking of the shouts and threats of any of the town's people and having finished their invocations they marched out to meet the approaching column the Cavalry commanded by Kat made a detour taking a sheltered way to an unguarded bridge over a small River not far off so as to outflank the Royal forces which they were to attack in the rear as soon as Cavalier and Ravenel should have engaged them in the front mono de vot on his side continued to advance so that the Calvinists and the Catholics were soon face to face the battle began on both sides by a volley but Cavalier having seen his Cavalry emerging from a neighboring wood and Counting upon their assistance charge the Enemy at the Double quick katat judging by by the noise of the firing that his presence was necessary charged also at a Gallop falling on the flank of the Catholics in this charge one of mura vat's captains was killed by a bullet and the other by a saber cut and the grenadiers falling into disorder First lost ground and then fled pursued by katat and his Horsemen who seizing them by the hair dispatched them with their swords having tried in vain to Rally his men mure de fatoo surrounded by a few Irish was forced in his turn to fly he was hotly pursued and on the point of being taken when by good luck he reached the height of gmen with its walls of rock jumping off his horse he entered the narrow pathway which led to the top and entrenched himself with about a 100 men in this natural Fort Cavalier perceiving that further Pursuit would be dangerous resolved to rest satisfied with his victory as he knew by his own experience that neither men nor horses had eaten from for 18 hours he gave the signal for retreat and retired on San where he hoped to find Provisions this defeat mortified the Royal forces very deeply and they resolved to take their Revenge having leared by their spies that on a certain night in November cavaliere and his band intended to sleep on a mountain called nag they surrounded the mountain during the night so that at dawn Cavalier found himself shut in on every side as he wished to see with his own eyes if the investment was complete he ordered his troops to fall into rank on the top of the mountain giving the command to Ravenel and catat and with a pair of pistols in his belt and his carbine on his shoulder he glided from Bush to Bush and rock to rock determined if any weak spot existed to discover it but the information he had received was perfectly correct every issue was guarded Cavalier Now set off to rejoin his troops passing through a r but he had hardly taken 30 steps when he found himself confronted by a cornet and two drons who were lying in Ambush there was no time to run away and indeed such a thought never entered the young Commander's head he walked straight up to them on their side the drons advanced toward him and the Cornet covering him with his pistol called out halt you are Cavalier I know you it is not possible for you to escape surrender at discretion Cavalier's answer was to blow out the cornet's brains with a shot from his carbine then throwing it behind him as of no further use he drew his two pistols from his belt walked up to the two drons shot them both dead and rejoined his comrades unwounded these who had believed him lost welcomed him with cheers but Cavalier had something else to do than to celebrate his return mounting his horse he put himself at the head of his men and fell upon the Royal troops with such impetuosity that they gave way at the first onset then a strange incident occurred about 30 women who had come to the camp with Provisions Carried Away by their enthusiasm at the sight of this success threw themselves upon the enemy fighting like men one young girl of about 17 Luca guon by name distinguished herself among the others by her great Valor not content with encouraging her Brethren by The Cry Of The Sword of the Lord and of Gideon she tore Sabers from the hands of the Dead drag goons to dispatch the dying katat followed by 10 of his men pursued the flying troops as far as the plane of calison there they were able to Rally thanks to the advance of the Garrison to meet them 80 drons lay dead on the field of battle while Cavalier had only lost five men as we shall see Cavalier was not only a brave Soldier and a skillful Captain but also a just judge a few days after the deed of arms which we had just Rel ated he learned that a horrible murder had been committed by four commissars who had then retired into the forest of bouet he sent a Detachment of 20 men with orders to arrest the murderers and bring them before him the following are the details of the crime the daughter of Baron merag who was not long married to a gentleman named mure de maraman had set out on the 29th November for amboa to join her husband who was waiting for her there she was encouraged to do this by her Coachman who had often met with kads in the neighborhood and although a Catholic had never received any harm from them she occupied her own carriage and was accompanied by a maid a nurse a footman and The Coachman who had persuaded her to undertake the journey two-thirds of the way already lay safely behind them when between lucon and vadra she was stopped by four men who made her get out of her carriage and accompany them into the neighboring Forest the account of what then happened is taken from the deposition of the maid we copy it word for word these wretches having forced us says she to walk into the forest till we were at some distance from The High Road my poor mistress grew so tired that she begged the man who walked beside her to allow her to lean on his shoulder he looking round and seeing that they had reached a lonely spot replied we need hardly go any farther and made us sit down on a plot of grass which was to be the scene of our martyrdom my poor mistress began to plead with the Barbarians in the most touching Manner and so sweetly that she would have softened the heart of a demon she offered them her purse her gold waistband and a fine Diamond which she Drew from her finger but nothing could move these tigers and one of them said I am going to kill all the Catholics at once and shall be Jin with you what will you gain by my death asked my mistress SP beare my life no shut up replied he you shall die by my hand say your prayers my Good Mistress threw herself at once on her knees and prayed aloud that God would show Mercy to her and to her murderers and while she was thus praying Sheed a pistol shot in her left breast and fell a Second Assassin cut her across the face with his sword and a third dropped a large Stone on her head while the fourth killed the nurse with a shot from his pistol whether it was that they had no more loaded Firearms or that they wished to save their ammunition they were satisfied with only giving me several bayonet wounds I pretended to be dead they thought it was really the case and went away sometime after seeing that everything had become quiet and hearing no sounds I dragged myself dying as I was to where my dear mistress lay and called her as it happened she was not quite dead and she said in a faint voice Stay With Me suzan till I die she added after a short pause for she was hardly able to speak I die for my religion and I hope that God will have pity on me tell my husband that I can find our little one to his care having said this she turned her thoughts from the world praying to God in broken and tender words and Drew her last breath as the night fell in obedience to Cavalier's orders the four criminals were taken and brought before him he was then with his troops near St Maurice the cavel he called a council of war and having had the prisoners tried for their atrocious deed he summed up the evidence in as clear a manner as any lawyer could have done and called upon the judges to pronounce sentence all the judges agreed that the prisoner should be put to death but just as the sentence was made known one of the Assassins pushed aside the two men who guarded him and jumping down a Rock disappeared in the forest before any attempt could be made to stop him the three others were shot the Catholics also condemned many to be executed but the trials conducted by them were far from being as remarkable for honor and Justice as was that which we have just described we may instance the trial of a poor boy of 14 the son of a Miller of St chisto who had been broken the wheel just a month before for a moment the judges hesitated to condemn so young a boy to death but a witness presented himself who testified that the little fellow was employed by the Fanatics to strangle Catholic children although no one believed this evidence yet it was seized on as a pretext the unfortunate boy was condemned to death and hanged without Mercy an hour later a great many people from the parishes devastated by m julen had taken refuge in O in the Parish of St Andre driven by hunger and misery they went beyond the prescribed limits in search of means of subsistence plank hearing of this in his burning Zeal for the Catholic faith resolved not to leave such a crime unpunished he dispatched a Detachment of soldiers to arrest the culprits the task was easy for they were all once more inside the barrier and in their beds they were seized brought to St Andre's church and shut in then without trial of any kind they were taken five at a time and massacred some were shot some cut down with sword or axe all were killed without exception old and young women and children one of the ladder who had received three shots was still able to raise his head and cry where is Father why doesn't he come and take me away four men and a young girl who had taken refuge in the town of Lal one of the places granted to the houseless villagers as an asylum asked and received formal permission from the cap captain of the swasan regiment by name llas to go home on important private business on condition that they return the same night they promised and in the intention of keeping this promise they all met on their way back at a small farmhouse just as they reached it a terrible storm came on the men were for continuing their way in spite of the weather but the young girl besought them to wait till daylight as she did not dare to venture out in the dark during such a storm and would die a fright if left alone at the farm the men ashamed to Desert their companion who was related to one of them yielded to her entreaties and remained hoping that the storm would be a sufficient excuse for the delay as soon as it was light the five resumed their Journey but the news of their crime had reached the ears of llas before they got back they were arrested and all their excuses were of no avail llas ordered the men to be taken outside the town and shot the young girl was condemned to be hanged and the sentence was to be carried out that very day but some nuns who had been sent for to prepare her for death having vainly begged llas to show Mercy ENT treated the girl to declare that she would soon become a mother she indignantly refused to save her life at the cost of her good name so the nuns took the lie on themselves and made the necessary declaration before the captain begging him if he had no pity for the mother to spare the child at least by granting a reprieve till the should be born the captain Was Not For a Moment deceived but he sent for a midwife and ordered her to examine the young girl at the end of half an hour she declared that the assertion of the nuns was true very well said the captain let them both be kept in prison for 3 months if by the end of that time the truth of this assertion is not self-evident both shall be hanged when this decision was made known to the poor woman she was overcome by fear and asked to see the captain again again to whom she confessed that led Away by the entreaties of the nuns she had told a lie upon this the woman was sentenced to be publicly whipped and the young girl hanged on a gibbet round which were placed the corpses of the four men of whose death she was the cause as May easily be supposed the cadets of the cross vied with both Catholics and Protestants in the work of Destruction one of their bands devoted itself to destroying everything belonging to the converts from Boke to nemes they killed a woman and two children at Compu an old man of 80 at a farm near buag several persons at cure a young girl at kasar a gardener at nemes and many other persons besides carrying off all the flocks furniture and other property they could lay hands on and burning down the farmhouses of claron lube Marin Carlo keay Miran Lai and lak all near St jiz and manduel they stopped Travelers on the highway says L loyel and by way of finding out whether they were catholic or not made them say in Latin The Lord's Prayer the a Maria the symbol of the faith and the general confession and those who were unable to do this were put to the sword Inon nine corpses were found supposed to have been killed by their hands and when the body of a Shepherd who had been in the service of the sir de rier a former Minister was found hanging to a tree no one doubted who were the murderers at last they went so far that one of their bands meeting the ABY the saint Jil on the road ordered him to deliver up to them one of his servants a new convert in order to put him to death it was in vain that the Abbey remonstrated with them telling them it was a shame to put such an affront on a man of his birth and rank the they persisted nonetheless in their determination till at last the ab threw his arms around his servant and presented his own body to the blows directed at the other the author of the troubles in the Sven relates something surpassing all this which took place at monteu on the 22nd February there were a few Protestants in the place he says but they were far outnumbered by the Catholics these being roused by a kuchan from bearak formed themselves into a body of cadets of the Cross and hastened to serve their apprenticeship to the work of assassination at the cost of their countrymen they therefore entered the house of one jean berois cut off his ears and further mutilated him and then bled him to death like a pig on coming out of this house they met Jac claw and shot him in the abdomen so that his intestines obtruded pushing them back he reached his house in a terrible condition to the great alarm of his wife who was near her confinement and her children who hastened to the help of husband and father but the murderers appeared on the threshold and unmoved by the cries and tears of the unfortunate wife and the poor little children they finished the wounded man and as the wife made an effort to prevent them they murdered her also treating her dead body when they discovered her condition in a manner too revolting for description while a neighbor called Marie silio who tried to rescue the children was shot dead but in her case they did not pursue their Vengeance any further they then went into the Open Country and meeting Pierre and Jean Bernard uncle and nephew one aged 45 and the other 10 seized on them both and putting a pistol into the hands of the child forced him to shoot his uncle in the meantime the boy's father had come up and him they tried to constrain to shoot his son but finding that no threats had any effect they ended by killing both one by the sword the other by the Bayon the reason why they put an end to Father and Son so quickly was that they had noticed three young girls of banol going towards a Grove of malberry trees where they were raising silk worms The Men followed them and as it was broad daylight and the girls were therefore not afraid they soon came up with them having first violated them they hung them by the feet to a tree and put them to death in a horrible manner all this took place in the reign of Louis the Great and for the greater glory of the Catholic religion history has preserved the names of the five wretches who perpetrated these crimes they were Pierre vgo antoan Ray Jean dugong Guam and gantan end of chapter 2 Section 3 chapter 3 part 1 such crimes of which we have only disc described a few inspired Horror in the breasts of those who were neither maddened by fanaticism nor devoured by the desire of Vengeance one of these a Protestant Baron dager without stopping to consider what means he had at his command or what measures were the best to take to accomplish his object resolved to devote his life to the pacification of the Sven the first thing to be considered was that if the commissars were ever entirely destroyed by means of Catholic troops directed by deil deulen and de manreal the Protestants and especially the Protestant Nobles who had never born arms would be regarded as cowards who had been prevented by fear of death or persecution from openly taking the part of the hugenots he was therefore convinced that the only course to pursue was to get his co-religionists to put an end to the struggle themselves as the one way of pleasing his majesty and of showing him how groundless were the the suspicions aroused in the minds of men by the Catholic clergy this plan presented especially to Baron dagers two apparently insurmountable difficulties for it could only be carried out by inducing the king to relax his rigorous measures and by inducing the kads to submit now the baron had no connection with the court and was not personally acquainted with a single hugenot Chief the first thing necessary to enable the baron to begin his efforts was a passport for Paris and he felt sure that as he was a Protestant neither mure de bavil nor mure de montravel would give him one a lucky accident however relieved his embarrassment and strengthened his resolution for he thought he saw in this accident the hand of Providence Baron dager found one day at the house of a friend a mure DEET a colonel in the king's Army and who afterwards became Major General but who at the time we are speaking of was commandant at USU he was of a very impulsive disposition and so zealous in matters relating to the Catholic religion and in the service of the king that he never could find himself in the presence of a Protestant without expressing his indignation at those who had taken up arms against their prince and also those who without taking up arms encouraged the rebels in their designs mure dager understood that an illusion was meant to himself and he resolved to take advant of it so the next day he paid a visit to M de parat and instead of demanding satisfaction as the latter quite expected for the rudess of his remark on the previous day he professed himself very much obliged for what he had said which had made such a deep impression on him that he had made up his mind to give proof of his Zeal and loyalty by going to Paris and petitioning the king for a position at court dararat Charmed with what he had heard and enchanted with this convert embraced dager and gave him says the chronicler his Blessing and with the blessing a passport and wished him all the success that a father could wish for his son dager had now attained his object and furnished with the lucky safe conduct he set out for Paris without having communicated his intentions to anyone not even to his mother on reaching Paris he put up at a friend's house and Drew up a statement of his plan it was very short and very clear the undersigned has the honor to point out humbly to his majesty that the severities and the persecutions which have been employed by some of the village priests have caused many people in the country districts to take up arms and that the suspicions which new converts excited have driven a great many of them to join the insurgents in taking this step they were also impelled by the desire to avoid imprisonment or removal from their home homes which were the remedies chosen to keep them in the old Faith this being the case he thinks that the best means of putting an end to this state of things would be to take measures exactly the contrary of those which produced it such as putting an end to the persecutions and permitting a certain number of those of the reformed religion to bear arms that they might go to the rebels and tell them that far from approving of their actions the Protestants as a whole wish to bring them back back to the right way by setting them a good example or to fight against them in order to show the king in France at the risk of their lives that they disapproved of the conduct of their co-religionists and that the priests had been in the wrong in writing to the court that all those of the reformed religion were in favor of Revolt dagers hoped that the court would adopt this plan for if they did one of two things must happen either the commissars by refusing to to accept the terms offered to them would make themselves odious to their brethren for dager intended to take with him on his mission of persuasion only men of high reputation among the reformers who would be repelled by the commissars if they refused to submit or else by laying down their arms and submitting they would restore peace to the south of France obtain Liberty of worship set free their Brethren from the prisons and galleys and come to the help of the king in his war against the Allied powers by supplying him in a moment with a large body of disciplined troops ready to take the field against his enemies for Not only would the commissars if they were supplied with officers be available for this purpose but also those troops which were at the moment employed in hunting down the kards would be set free for this important duty this proposition was so clear and promised to produce such useful results that although the prejudice against the reformers was very strong Baron agier found supporters who were at once intelligent and genuine in the Duke de Chev and the Duke de mon for his son these two gentlemen brought about a meeting between the baron and kard and the latter presented him to the maral de to whom he showed his petition begging him to bring it to the notice of the king but mure devier who was well acquainted with the obstinacy of Louie who as Baron deeken says quote only saw all the reformers through the spectacles of Madame deanol told dagar that the last thing he should do would be to give the king any hint of his plans unless he wished to see them come to nothing on the contrary he advised him to go at once to Leon and wait there for him mure de VZ for he would probably be passing through that town in a few days being almost certain to be appointed governor of languedoc in place of mour De monel who who had fallen under the king's displeasure and was about to be recalled in the course of the three interviews which dager had had with mure de Villar he had become convinced that the Villar was a man capable of understanding his object he therefore followed his advice as he believed his knowledge of the king to be correct and left Paris for Leon the recall of mure De malra had been brought about in the following manner mure de mon Trel having just come to usza learned that cavali and his troops were in the neighborhood of St shat he immediately sent mure deonier with 600 picked Marines and some companies of drons from the Regiment of St San but half an hour later it having occurred to him that these forces were not sufficient he ordered mour DEA Lieutenant of the drons of fimaron to join mour de janier at St Chata with a hundred soldiers of his regiment and to remain with him if he were wanted if not to return the same night mour defa gave the necessary orders chose aund of his bravest men put himself at their head and joined mour deonier showing him his orders but the latter confiding in the courage of his soldiers and unwilling to share with anyone the glory of a victory of which he felt assured not only sent away M defa but begged him to go back to usza declaring to him that he had enough troops to fight and conquer all the k guards whom he might encounter consequently the 100 drons whom the lieutenant had brought with him were quite useless at St Chata while on the contrary they might be very necessary somewhere else M did not consider that it was his duty to insist on remaining under these circumstances and returned to usza while mour deania continued his route in order to pass the night at musak Cavalier left the town by one gate just as mour deonier entered at the other the wishes of the young Catholic Commander were thus in a fair way to be fulfilled for in all probability he would come up with his enemy the next day as the village was inhabited for the most part by new converts the night instead of being spent in Repose was devoted to pillage the next day the Catholic troops reached musak which they found deserted so they went on to lasor De gravier a little village belonging to the Barony of bukar which mure janier gave up to pillage and where he had four Protestants shot a man a woman and two young girls he then resumed his route as it had rained he soon came on the trail of the kads the terrible game which he was hunting down for 3 hours he occupied himself in this Pursuit marching at the head of his troops lest someone else less careful than he should make some mistake when suddenly raising his eyes he perceived the kards on a small Eminence called Le de W Dean this was the spot they had chosen to await attack in being eager for the approaching combat as soon as Cavalier saw the Royals advancing he ordered his men according to custom to offer up prayers to God and when these were finished he disposed his troops for battle his plan was to take up position with the greater part of his men on the other side of a ravine which would thus form a kind of moat between him and the King's soldiers he also ordered about 30 hor to make a great round thus reaching unseen a little wood about 200 yard to his left where they could conceal themselves and lastly he sent to a point on the right 60 foot soldiers chosen from his best Marksman whom he ordered not to fire until the Royal forces were engaged in the struggle with him mour de janier having approached to within a certain distance halted and sent one of his lieutenants named the sa shata to make a reconnaissance which he did advancing beyond the men in Ambush who gave no sign of their existence while the officer quietly examined the ground but St shata was an old Soldier of Fortune and not easily taken in so on his return while explaining the plan of the ground chosen by Cavalier for the disposition of his troops to mour L janier he added that he should be very much astonished if the young kamis sard had not employed the little wood on his left and the LIE of the ground on his right as cover for soldiers in Ambush but mour deania returned that the only thing of importance was to know the position of the principal body of troops in order to attack it at once St shata told him that the principal body was that which was before his eyes and that on this subject there could be no mistake for he had approached near enough to recognize kavier himself in the front rank this was enough for mure de janier he put him himself at the head of his men and rode straight to the Ravine Beyond which cavaliere and his comrades awaited him in order of battle having got within a pistol shot mour de janir gave the order to fire but he was so near that Cavalier heard the words and saw the motion made by the men as they made reply he therefore gave a rapid sign to his men who threw themselves on their faces as did their leader and the bullets passed over them without doing any harm mour deania who believed them all dead was astonished when cavaliere and his kards rose up and rushed upon the Royal troops advancing to the sound of aalm at a distance of 10 Paces they fired and then charged the Enemy at the point of the bayonet at this moment the 60 men in Ambush to the right opened fire while the 30 Horsemen to the left uttering loud shouts charged at a Gallop hearing this noise and seeing death approaching them in three different directions the Royals believed themselves surrounded and did not attempt to make a stand the men throwing away their weapons took to their heels the officers alone and a few drons whom they had succeeded in rallying making a desperate resistance Cavalier was riding over the field of battle sabering all the fugitives whom he met when he caught sight of a group composed of 10 naval officers standing close together in backto back spawn tun in hand facing the kards who surrounded them he spurred up to them passing through the ranks of his soldiers and not pausing till he was within 15 Paces of them although they raised their weapons to fire then making a sign with his hand that he wished to speak with them he said gentlemen surrender I shall give quarter and in return for the 10 lives I now spare you will ask that my father who is in prison at nemes be released for soul answer one of the officers fired and wounded the young Chief's horse in the head Cavalier drew a a pistol from his belt took aim at the officer and killed him then turning again to the others he asked gentlemen are you as obstinate as your comrade or do you accept my offer a second shot was the reply and a bullet grazed his shoulder seeing that no other answer was to be hoped for Cavalier turned to his soldiers do your duty said he and withdrew to avoid seeing the massacre the nine officers were shot mure de janier who had received a slight wound in the cheek abandoned his horse in order to climb over a wall on the other side he made a Dron Dismount and give him his horse on which he crossed the river Gardon leaving behind him on the battlefield 25 officers and 600 soldiers killed the defeat was doubly disastrous to the Royal cause depriving it of the flower of its officers almost all of those who fell belonging to the noblest families of France and also because the kads gained what they so badly needed needed muskets swords and bayonets in great quantities as well as 80 horses these latter enabling Cavalier to complete the organization of a magnificent troop of Cavalry the recall of the maral de mon tral was the consequence of this defeat and mure de vilier as he had anticipated was appointed in his place but before giving up his governorship Montreal resolved to a face the memory of the check which his Lieutenant's fool hardiness had caused but for which according to the rules of war the general had to pay the penalty its plan was by spreading false rumors and making feigned marches to draw the kads into a trap in which they in their turn would be caught this was the less difficult to accomplish as their latest Victory had made Cavalier overconfident both in himself and his men in fact since the incident connected with the naval officers the troops of cavaliere had increased enormously in numbers everyone Desiring to serve under so brave a sheath as that he had now under him over 1,000 infantry and 200 Cavalry they were furnished besides just like regular troops with a bugler for the Cavalry and eight drums and a fight for the Infantry the marishal felt sure that his departure would be the signal for some Expedition into the level country under Cavalier so it was given out that he had left for Mont pelier and had sent forward some of his baggage wagons to that place on April 15th he was informed that Cavalier deceived by the false news had set out on the 16th of April intending to pass the night at kavak a small town about a league from nemes that he might be ready next day to make a descent on laaj this news was brought to mure De manreal by a village priest called Fen who had in his pay Vigilant and faithful spies in whom he had every confidence Montreal accordingly ordered the commandant of lunel Mon de granval to set out the next day very early in the morning with the cherole regiment and five companies of the fearon and St San drons and to repair to the heights of basier where instructions would await him Sandra cor governor of nemes was at the same time directed to withdraw as many men as possible from The Garrison both Swiss and drons and send them by night towards St K and clarensac lastly he himself set out as he had said but instead of going on to Monier he stopped at somier whence he could observe the movements of Cavalier Cavalier as Mur de monal already knew was to sleep on the 15th at Cav Rock On this day Cavalier reached the turning point in his magnificent career as he entered the town with his soldiers drums beating and flags flying he was at the Zenith of his power he rode the splendid horse mour de janier had abandoned in his flight behind him serving as paig rode his young brother aged 10 followed by four Grooms he was preceded by 12 guards dressed in red and as his colleague Roland had taken the title of compt he allowed himself to be called Duke of the Sven at his approach half of the Garrison which was commanded by mure Deon took possession of the church and half of the Citadel but as Cavalier was more bent on obtaining food and rest for his soldiers than of disturbing the town he bitted his men on the town's people and placed Sentinels at the church and Fortress who exchanged shots all the night through with the Royal troops the next morning having destroyed the fortifications he marched out of the town again drums beating and flags flying as before when almost in sight of nemes he made his troops which had never before been so numerous or so brilliant perform a great many evolutions and then continued his way towards nag msh de montravel received a report at 9:00 in the morning of the direction Cavalier and his troops had taken and immediately left samier followed by six companies of fimaron drons 100 Irish freelances 300 Rank and file of the heal regiment and one company each of the swason cheret and menol regiments forming in all a core over 900 strong they took the direction of vage above clarensac but suddenly hearing the rattle of musketry behind them they wheeled and made for langada they found that granval had already encountered the commissars these being fatigued had withdrawn into a hollow between basier and the windmill at langada in order to rest the Infantry lay down their arms beside them the Cavalry placed themselves at the feet of their horses The Bridal on arm Cavalier himself Cavalier the indefatigable broken by the fatigues of the preceding days had fallen asleep with his young brother watching beside him suddenly he felt himself shaken by the arm and rousing up he heard on all sides cries of kill kill and to Arms to arms granval and his men who had been sent to find out where the commissars were had suddenly come upon them the inry formed the Cavalry sprang up to their Saddles cavaliere leaped on his horse and drawing his sword L his soldiers as usual against the drons and these as was also usual ran away leaving 12 of their number dead on the field the commissar Cavalry soon gave up the pursuit as they found themselves widely separated from the Infantry and from their leader for Cavalier had been unable to keep up with them his horse having received a bullet through its neck still they followed the flying drons for a good hour from time to time a wounded Dron falling from his horse till at last the commissar Cavalry found itself confronted by the cherole regiment drawn up in battle array and behind them the Royal drons who had taken Refuge there and were reforming carried on by the rapidity of their course the kards could not pull up till they were within a 100 yards of the enemy they fired once killing several then turned round and retreated when a third of the way back had been covered they met their Chief who had found a fresh Horse by the wayside standing beside its dead Master he arrived at full Gallop as he was anxious to unite his Cavalry and infantry at once as he had seen the forces of the maral advancing who as we have already said had turned in the direction of the firing hardly had cavaliere affected the desire Junction of his forces then he perceived that his retreat was cut off he had the Royal troops both both before and behind him the young chief saw that A desperate Dash to right or left was all that remained to him and not knowing this country as well as the Sven he asked a peasant the way from sudor to Naga that being the only one by which he could Escape there was no time to inquire whether the peasant was Catholic or Protestant he could only trust to chance and follow the road indicated but a few yards from the spot where the road from dor to nag joins the road to he found himself in face of Marisha mantel's troops under the command of meno however as they hardly outnumbered the kads these did not stop to look for another route but bending forward in their Saddles they dashed through the lines at full Gallop taking the direction of Naga hoping to reach the plane round cavison but the village the approaches the issues were all occupied by Royal troops and at the same time grandval and the marishal joined forces while Menon collected his men together and pushed forward Cavalier was completely surrounded he gave the situation a comprehensive glance his foes were 5 to one rising in his stups so that he could see over every head Cavalier shouted so loud that not only his own men heard but also those of the enemy my children if our hearts fail us now we shall be taken and broken on the wheel there is only one means of safety we must C our way at full Gallop through these people follow me and keep close order so speaking he dashed on the nearest group followed by all his men who formed a compact Mass round which The Three core of Royal troops closed then there was everywhere a hand-to-hand battle there was no time to load or fire swords flashed and fell bayonets stabbed the Royals and the commissars took each other by the throat and hair for an hour this demonic fight F lasted during which cavaliere lost 500 men and slew a thousand of the Enemy At Last he won through followed by about 200 of his troops and Drew a long breath but finding himself in the center of a large circle of soldiers he made for a bridge where alone it seemed possible to break through it being only guarded by aund drons he divided his men into two divisions one to force the bridge the other to cover the retreat then he faced his foes like a wild boar driven to Bay suddenly loud shouts behind him announced that the bridge was forced but the kads instead of keeping the passage open for their leader scattered over the plane and sought safety in flight but a child threw himself before them pistol in hand it was Cavalier's Young Brother mounted on one of the small wild horses of kar of that Arab breed which was introduced to langued by the Moors from Spain carrying a sword and carbine proportion to his size the boy addressed the flying men where are you going he cried instead of running away like cowards line the river banks and oppose the enemy to facilitate my brother's Escape ashamed of having deserted such reproaches the commissars stopped rallied lined the banks of the river and by keeping up a steady fire covered Cavalier's Retreat who crossed without having received a single wound though his horse was rittel with bullets and he had been forced to change his sword three times still the combat raged but gradually Cavalier managed to retreat a plane cut by trenches the falling Darkness a wood which afforded cover all combined to help him at last still his rear guard harassed by the enemy dotted the ground it passed over with its dead until at last both Victors and vanquished were swallowed up by the night the fight had lasted 10 hours cavaliere had lost more than 500 men in the Royals about a thousand Cavalier says moner deer in his Memoirs acted on this day in a way which astonished everyone for who could help being astonished to see a nobody inexperienced in the art of warfare bear himself in such difficult and trying circumstances like some great General at one period of the day he was followed Everywhere by a Dron cavaliere shot at him and killed his horse the draon returned the shot but missed Cavalier had two horses killed under him the first time he caught a dragon's horse the second time he made one of his own men Dismount and go on foot M de manra also showed himself to be a gallant Soldier wherever there was danger there was he encouraging officers and Soldiers by his example one Irish Captain was killed at his side another fatally wounded and a third slightly hurt granal on his part had performed Miracles his horse was shot shot under him and mour de montravel replaced it by one of Great Value on which he joined in the pursuit of the Kad after this affair mure de montravel gave up his place to mure Deer leaving word for Cavalier that it was thus he took leave of his friends although cavaliere came out of this battle with honor compelling even his enemies to regard him as a man worthy of their steal it had nevertheless destroyed the best part of his hopes he made a Al near padon to gather together the remnant of his troops and truly it was but a Remnant which remained of those who came back the greater number were without weapons for they had thrown them away in their flight many were incapacitated for service by their wounds and lastly the Cavalry could hardly be said to exist any longer as the few men who survived had been obliged to abandon their horses in order to get across the high ditches which were their only cover from the drons during the flight meantime the royalists were very active and Cavalier felt that it would be imprudent to remain long at pieron so setting out during the night and crossing the Gardon he buried himself in the forest of huse with he hoped his enemies would not venture to follow him and in fact the first two days were quiet and his troops benefited greatly by the rest especially as they were able to draw stores of all kind wheat hay arms and ammunition from an immense cave which the commissars had used for a long time as a magazine and Arsenal cavali now also employed it as a hospital and had the wounded carried there that their wounds might receive attention unfortunately Cavalier was soon obliged to quit the forest in spite of his hopes of being left in peace for one day on his way back from a visit to the wounded in the cave whose existence was a secret he came across aund miket who had penetrated thus far and and who would have taken him prisoner if he had not with his accustomed presence of mind and courage sprung from a rock 20 ft High the molet fired at him but no bullet reached him Cavalier rejoined his troops but fearing to attract the rest of the royalists to the place retreated to some distance from the cave as it was of the utmost importance that it should not be discovered since it contained all his resources cavaliere had now reached one of those moments when Fortune tired of conferring f turns her back on her favorite the royalists had often noticed an old woman from the village of he going towards the forest sometimes carrying a basket in her hand sometimes with a hamper on her head and it occurred to them that she was supplying the hidden commissars with Provisions she was arrested and brought before General Alanda who began his examination by threatening that he would have her hanged if she did not at once declare the object of her frequent Journeys to the Forest without Reserve At first she made use of all kinds of pretexts which only strengthened the suspicions of lalanda who ceasing his questions ordered her to be taken to the Gallows and hanged the old woman walked to the place of execution with such firm step that the general began to think he would get no information from her but at the foot of the ladder her courage failed she asked to be taken back before the general and having been promised her life she revealed everything end of chapter 3 section 1 chapter 3 part two mour Deanda put himself at once at the head of a strong Detachment of mettes and forced the woman to walk before them till they reached the cavern which they never would have discovered without a guide so cleverly was the entrance hidden by rocks and Brushwood on entering the first thing that met met their eye was the wounded about 30 in Number the mettes threw themselves upon them and slaughtered them this deed accomplished they went farther into the cave which to their great surprise contained a thousand things they never expected to find there heaps of grain sacks of flour barrels of wine casks of Brandy quantities of chestnuts and potatoes and besides all this chest containing ointments drugs and lint and lastly a complete arsenal of muskets swords and bayonets a quantity of powder readymade and sulfur salt peter and charcoal in short everything necessary for the manufacturer of more down to small Mills to be turned by hand Lolanda kept his word the life of an old woman was not too much to give in return for such a treasure meantime mour de v as he had promised took up Baron dagars in passing through Leon so that during the rest of the journey The Peacemaker had plenty of time to expatiate on his plans as mure de V was a man of tact and a lover of justice and desired above all things to bring a right Spirit to bear on the performance of the duties of his new office in which his two predecessors had failed he promised the baron to keep as he expressed himself his two ears open and listen to both sides and as a first proof of impartiality he refused to give any opinion until he had heard mour de julen who was coming to meet him at tal when they arrived at tal mure deulen was there to receive them and had a very different story to tell from that which mure de V had heard from dager According to him the only Pacific ration possible was the complete extermination of the commissars he felt himself very hardly treated in that he had been allowed to destroy only 400 Villages and hamlets in the upper seven assuring to V with the the confidence of a man who had studied the matter profoundly that they should all have been demolished without exception and all the peasants killed to the last man so it came to pass that mour dear arrived at boair placed like Don Juan between the spirits of Good and Evil the one advising clemency and the other murder mour de V not being able to make up his mind on reaching nemes dager assembled the principal Protestants of the town told them of his plan showing them its practicability so that also joined in the good work and Drew up a document in which they asked the marishal to allow them to take up arms and March against the rebels as they were determined either to bring them back into the good way by force of example or to fight them as a proof of their loyalty this petition which was signed by several Nobles and by almost all the lawyers and Merchants of the city of nemes was presented to mure de on Tuesday 22nd April 1704 by mour De alanas at the head of 7 or 800 persons of the reformed religion mono de V received the request kindly thanked its Bearer and those who accompanied him assuring them that he had no doubt of the sincerity of their professions and that if he were in want of help he would have recourse to them with as much confidence as if they were old Catholics he hoped however to win the rebels back by mild and he begged them to Second his efforts in this direction by spreading abroad the fact that an amnesty was offered to all those who would lay down arms and return to their houses within a week the very next day but one mour dear set out from nemes to visit all the principal towns in order to make himself acquainted with men things and places although the answer to the petition had been a delicate refusal dager was not discouraged but followed mour dears everywhere when the latter arrived at La the new governor sent for mures Deanda and de bavil in order to consult them as to the best means of inducing the commissars to lay down their arms Baron dager was summoned to this consultation and described his plan to the two gentlemen as he expected both were opposed to it however he tried to bring them over to his side by presenting to them what seemed to him to be cogent reasons for it adoption but Deanda and deav made light of all his reasons and rejected his proposals with such vehement that the marishal however much inclined to the side of dager did not venture to act quite alone and said he would not decide on any course until he reached usza dager saw clearly that until he had obtained the approbation of either the general or the intendant he would get nothing from the maral he therefore considered considered which of the two he should try to persuade and although debil was his personal enemy having several times shown his hatred for him and his family he decided to address himself to him in Consequence the next day to the great astonishment of mure De bavil dagers paid him a visit the intend all received him coldly but politely asked him to sit down and when he was seated begged to know the motive which had brought him sir replied the bar you have given my family and me such cause of offense that I had come to the firm resolution never to ask a favor of you and as perhaps you may have remarked during the journey we have taken with mure L marishal I would rather have died of thirst than accept a glass of water from you but I have come here today not upon any Private Matter to obtain my own ends but upon a matter which concerns the welfare of the state I therefore beg you to put out of your mind the dis like which you have to me and mine and I do this the more earnestly that your dislike can only have been caused by the fact that our religion is different from yours a thing which could neither have been foreseen nor prevented my in treaty is that you do not try to set mour La marishal against the course which I have proposed to him which I am convinced would bring the disorders in our Province to an end stop the occurrence of the many unfortunate events which I am sure you look on with regret and spare you much trouble and embarrassment the intendant was much touched by this calm speech and above all by the confidence which mure dager had shown him and replied that he had only offered opposition to the plan of pacification because he believed it to be impractical mour dager then warmly pressed him to try it before rejecting it forever and in the end Monsour de bavil withdrew his opposition mour dager hastened to the marishal who finding himself no longer alone in his favorable opinion made no further delay but told the baron to call together that very day all the people whom he thought suitable for the required service and desired that they should be presented to him the next morning before he set out for nemes the next day instead of the 50 men whom the maral had thought could be gathered together dager came to him followed by 80 who were almost all of good and many of noble family the meeting took place by the wish of the baron in the courtyard of the Episcopal Palace this Palace says the baron in his Memoirs which was of great magnificence surrounded by terraced Gardens and superbly furnished was occupied by monor Michelle Pon de la Rivier he was a man passionately devoted to pleasures of all kinds especially to music women and good cheer there are always to be found in his house good musicians pretty women and excellent wines these latter suited him so well that he never left the table without being in a pleasant humor and at such a moment if it came into his head that anyone in his dicese was not as good a Christian as himself he would sit down and write to mure De bavil urging that the delinquent ought to be sent into Exile he often did this honor to my late father mour dagers goes on to say that on seeing such a great number of hugenots in the court who were all declaring that they were better vants of the king than the Catholics he almost fell from his balcony with vexation and surprise this vexation increased when he saw Mon de vilier and mure de bavil who had apartments in the palace come down into the court and talk to these people one hope still remained to him it was that the marishal and the intendant had come down to send them away but this Last Hope was Cru disappointed when he heard mour deer say that he accepted their service and expected them to to obey dager in all matters concerning the service of the king but this was not all that had to be accomplished arms were necessary for the Protestants and though their numbers was not great there was a difficulty in finding them weapons the unfortunate Calvinists had been disarmed so often that even their table knives had been carried off so it was useless to search their houses for guns and Sabers dager proposed that they should take the arms of the town's people but sh V considered that it would offend the Catholics to have their arms taken from them and given to the Protestants in the end however this was the course that had to be adopted mono de paret was ordered to give 50 muskets and the same number of bayonets to mure dager who also received as the reward of his long patience from mour De Villar before the latter left for nemes the following commission we marishal de V General in the armies of the king etc etc have given permission to mure dager nobleman and Protestant of the town of usza and to 50 men chosen by him to make war on the commisars signed Villar given at usza the 4th of May 1704 hardly had mure dear set out for nemes and dager met with fresh difficulties the bishop who could not forget that his Episcopal Palace had been turned into Barracks for hugenots went from house to house threatening those who had promised to countenance dagar's plans and strictly forbidding the captains of the Town troops to deliver any weapons to the Protestants fortunately dager had not accomplished so much without having learned not to draw back when the road grew rough so he also on his side went about confirming the strong and encouraging the feeble and called on moner Deet to beg him to carry out the orders of mure dear de paret was happily an old Soldier whose one idea was that discipline should be maintained so that he gave the guns and bayonets to dager on the spot without a word of objection and thus enable the latter to start at 5:00 next morning with his little band meantime debil and danda had been reflecting what great influence dager would gain in the province should he succeed in his aims and their jealousy made them resolved to Forstall him in his work by themselves inducing Cavalier to abandon his present course they did not conceal from themselves that this would be difficult but as they could command means of corruption which were not within the power of dager they did not despair of success they therefore sent for a countryman called lome in order to enlist him on their side for Cavalier when a boy had been his Shepherd for two years and both had remained friends ever since this man undertook to try and bring about a meeting between the two gentlemen and Cavalier an Enterprise which would have been dangerous for anyone else he promised first of all to explain to Cavalier the offers of Mur debil and Deanda LOM kept his word he set off the same day and two days later appeared before Cavalier the first feeling of the young Chief was astonishment the second pleasure lome could not have chosen a better moment to speak of peace to his former Shepherd indeed says cavier in his Memoirs the loss which I had just sustained in Naga was doubly painful to me because it was irreparable I had lost at one blow not only a great number of weapons all my ammunition and all my money but also a body of men inured to danger and fatigue and capable of any undertaking besides all this I had been robbed of my stores a loss which made itself felt more than all the others put together because as long as the secret of the cavern was kept in all our misfortunes we were never without resources but from the moment it got into the the possession of our enemies we were quite destitute the country was ravaged my friends had grown cold their purses were empty a 100 towns had been sacked and burned the prisons were full of Protestants the fields were uncultivated adding to all this the long promised help from England had never arrived and the new marishal had appeared in the province accompanied by fresh troops nevertheless in spite of his desperate position Cavalier listened to the propositions laid before him by LOM with cold and halty front and his reply was that he would never lay down arms till the Protestants had obtained the right to the free exercise of their religion firm as was this answer L did not despair of inducing cavaliere to come to terms he therefore wrote him a letter with his own hand asking him for an interview and pledging his word that if they came to no agreement Cavalier should be free to retire without any harm being done him but he added that if he refused this request he should regard him as an enemy to peace and responsible for all the blood which might be shed in the future this Overture made with a soldier's frankness had a great effect on Cavalier and in order that neither his friends nor his enemies should have the least excuse for blaming him he resolved to show everyone that he was eager to seize the first chance of making peace on advantageous terms he therefore replied to Lolanda that he would come to the bridge of aen on that very day the 12th May at noon and sent his letter by konut ordering him to deliver it into the hands of the Catholic General himself konut was worthy of his mission he was a peasant from Kyla whose real name was abdia Morel he had served under Marshal katat in Italy the same who had maintained so Gallant a struggle against Prince Eugene when Morel returned home he could talk of nothing but his Marshall and his campaigns so that he soon went among his neighbors by the name of Katan he was as we have seen Cavalier's right hand who had placed him in command of his Cavalry and who now entrusted him with a still more dangerous post that of envoy to a man who had often said that he would give 2,000 livers to him who would bring him the head of cavalier and 1,000 livers each for the heads of his two lieutenants konat was quite well aware of this offer of londas yet he appeared before the general perfectly cool and calm only either from a fearing of propriety or of Pride he was dressed in full uniform The Bold and haughty expression of the man who presented Cavalier's letter astonished the general who asked him his name I am katat he answered katut exclaimed l in Surprise yes katat commander of the Cavalry of cavalier what said lilanda are you the katut who massacred so many people in boair yes I am I did it it but it was my duty well exclaimed mour Deanda you show great heyh good in daring to appear before me I came said katut proudly trusting to your honor and to the promise that brother Cavalier gave me that nothing should happen to me he was quite right returned Lolanda taking the letter having read it he said go back to Cavalier and assure him that I shall be at the bridge of aen at noon accompanied only by a few officers ERS and 30 drons I expect to find him there with a similar number of men but answered konut it is possible that brother Cavalier may not wish to come with so poor a following if so returned Lolanda then tell him that he may bring his whole Army if he likes but that I shall not take a single man with me more than I have said as Cavalier has confidence in me I have confidence in him katat reported the law 's answer to his chief it was of a kind that he understood and liked so leaving the rest of his troops at masan he chose 60 men from his infantry and eight Horsemen as escort on coming in sight of the bridge he saw Lolanda approaching from the other side he had once ordered his 60 men to Halt went a few steps farther with his eight Horsemen and then ordered them in their turn to stop and advanced alone toward the bridge L had acted in the same manner with regard to his drons and office officers and now dismounting came toward Cavalier the two met in the middle of the bridge and saluted with the courtesy of men who had learned to esteem each other on the field of battle then after a short silence during which they examined each other Lolanda spoke sir said he the king in his clemency desires to put an end to the war which is going on between his subjects and which can only result in the ruin of his kingdom as he knows that this war has been instigated and supported by the enemies of France he hopes to meet no opposition to his wishes among those of his subjects who were momentarily LED astray but to whom he now offers pardon sir answered cavaliere the war not having been begun by the Protestants they are always ready for peace but a real peace without restriction or Reserve they have no right I know to lay down conditions but I hope they will be permitted to discuss those which may be laid down for them speak openly sir and let me know what the offers are that you have been authorized to make to us that I may judge if we can accept them but how would it be said Lolanda if you were mistaken and if the king desired to know what conditions you would consider reasonable if that is so answered Cavalier I will tell you our conditions at once in order not to prolong the negotiations for every minute's delay as you know costs someone his life or Fortune then tell me what your conditions are returned lalanda well said Cavalier our demands are three first Liberty of conscience secondly the release of all prisoners who have been condemned to imprisonment or the gys because of their religion and thirdly that if we are not granted Liberty of conscience we may be at least permitted to leave the kingdom as far as I can judge replied Lolanda I do not believe that the king will accept the first proposition but it is possible that he may C to the third in that case how many Protestants would you take with you 10,000 of all ages and both sexes the number is excessive sir I believe that his majesty is not disposed to go beyond 3,000 then replied cavaliere there is nothing more to be said for I could not accept passports for any smaller number and I could accept for the 10,000 only on condition that the king would grant us 3 months in in which to dispose of our possessions and withdraw from the country without being molested should his majesty however not be pleased to allow us to leave the kingdom then we beg that our edicts be reenacted and our privileges restored whereupon we shall become once more what we were formerly his Majesty's loyal and obedient servants sir said lalanda I shall lay your conditions before mura marishal and if no satisfactory conclusion can be arrived at it will will be to me a matter of profound regret and now sir will you permit me to inspect more closely the Gallant men with whose help you have done such astounding Deeds Cavalier smiled for these Gallant men when caught had been broken on the wheel burnt at the stake or hanged like briggins his sole answer was an inclination of the head as he turned and led the way to his little escort mour Deanda followed him with perfect confidence then passing by the eight Horsemen who were were grouped on the road he walked up to the Infantry and taking out of his pocket a handful of gold he scattered it before them saying there my men that is to drink the king's Health with not a man stooped to pick up the money and one of them said shaking his head it is not money we want but Liberty of conscience my men answered Lolanda it is unfortunately not in my power to Grant your demand but I advise you to submit to the king's will and Trust in his clemency sir answered cavaliere we are all ready to obey him provided that he graciously grant us our just demands if not we shall die weapon in hand rather than expose ourselves once more to such outrages as have already been inflicted on us your demands shall be transmitted word for word to mure De V who will lay them before the king says L and you may be sure sir that my most sincere wish is that his majesty may not find them exorbitant with these words mour Deanda saluted Cavalier and turned to rejoin his escort but Cavalier wishing to return confidence with confidence crossed the bridge with him and accompanied the general to where his soldiers had halted there with another salute the two chiefs parted mure Deanda taking the road to usza while Cavalier rejoined his comrades meantime dager who as we have seen had not left usza until the 5th of May in order to join Cavalier did not come up with him until the 13th that is to say the day after his conference with Lolanda dager gives us an account of their interview and we cannot do better than quote it although it was the first time that we had met face to face we embraced each other as if we were old acquaintances my little band mixed with his and sang Psalms together while Cavalier and I talked I was very much pleased with what he said and convinced him without difficulty that he should submit for the sake of the Brethren who could then choose whichever course best suited them and either leave the kingdom or serve the king I said that I believe the last course to be the best provided we were allowed to worship God according to our consciences because I hoped that seeing their faithful service his majesty would recognize that he had been imposed upon by those who had described us as disloyal subjects and that we should thus obtain for the whole nation that Liberty of conscience which had been granted to us that in no other way as far as I could see could our deplorable condition be ameliorated for although cavier and his men might be able to exist for some time longer in the forest and mountains they would never be strong enough to save the inhabitants of towns and other enclosed places from perishing upon this he replied that although the Catholics seldom kept a promise made to those of our religion he was willing to risk his life for the welfare of his Brethren and the province but that he trusted if he confided in the clemency of the king for whom he had never ceased to pray no harm would happen to him thereupon dager delighted to find him so well- inclined begged him to give him a letter for mure dear and as Cavalier knew the marelle to be loyal and zealous and had great confidence in him he wrote without hesitation the following letter monor permit me to address your Excellency in order to beg humbly for the favor of your protection for myself and for my soldiers we are filled with the most ENT desire to repair the fault which we have committed by bearing arms not against the king as our enemies have so falsely asserted but to defend our lives against those who persecuted us attacking us so fiercely that we believed it was done by order of His Majesty we know that it was written by St Paul that subjects ought to submit themselves to their King and if in spite of these sincere protestations s our Sovereign should still demand our blood we shall soon be ready to throw ourselves on his Justice or his Mercy but we should Mia regard ourselves as happy if his majesty moved by our repentance would grant us his pardon and receive us into his service according to the example of the god of Mercy whose representative his majesty is on Earth we trust monsor by our faithfulness and Zeal to acquire the honor of your protection then we glory in the thought thought of being permitted under the command of such an illustrious and noble-minded general as yourself to shed our blood for the king this being so I hope that your Excellency will be pleased to allow me to inscribe myself with profound respect and humility monsenor your most humble and obedient servant Cavalier dager as soon as he got possession of this letter set out for nemes in the best of spirits for he felt sure that he was bringing mure de V more than he had expected and indeed as soon as the marishal saw how far things had gone in spite of everything that L could say who in his jealousy asserted that dager would spoil everything he sent him back to cavaliere with an invitation to come to nemes dager set out at once promising to bring the young Chief back with him at which L laughed loudly pretending to be very much amused at The Baron's confident way of speaking and protesting that Cavalier would not come in the meantime events were happening in the mountains which might easily have changed the State of Mind of the young Chief the comp the tan who was in command at F had encountered rolan's Army in the plane of font Mort and had lost 200 men a considerable sum of money and 80 mules loaded with Provisions the anxiety which this news caused to mure Dear was soon relieved for 6 days after the defeat he received a letter from Cavalier by the hands of LOM the same who had brought about the interview on the bridge of aen in this letter Cavalier expressed the greatest regret for what had just happened dager therefore found cavaliere in the best of humors when he joined him at Tarak the first feeling that the young Chief felt on receiving the invitation was one of stupefaction for an interview with the marishal was an honor so unexpected and so great that his impression was that some treason lay behind it but he was soon reassured when he recalled the character for loyalty which the Marisha bore and how impossible it was that dager should lend himself to treachery so Cavalier sent back word that he would obey the maral's orders and that he put himself entirely into his hands in what concerned the arrangements for the interview mour dear let him know that he would expect him on the 16th in the garden of the convent of the recol of neem which lay just outside the city between the gates of both care and the meline and that Lando would meet him Beyond kak to receive him and to bring him hostages end of chapter 3 section two chapter 4 section one on the 15th May Cavalier set out from Tarak at the head of60 ft soldiers and 50 horse he was accompanied by his young brother and by dager and LOM they all passed the night at langada the next day they set out for nemes and as had been agreed upon were met by lalanda between St CER and kak lalanda advanced to greet Cavalier and present the hostages to him these hostages were mour de detier captain of the fearon regiment a captain of infantry several other officers and 10 drons Cavalier passed them over to his Lieutenant ravanel who was in command of the Infantry and left them in his charge at St CER the Cavalry accompanied him to within a musket shot of nemes and encamped upon the heights besides this Cavalier posted Sentinels and mounted orderly at all the approaches to the camp and even as far off as the Fountain of Diana and the tennis court these precautions taken he entered the city accompanied by his brother dager lome and a bodyguard of 18 Cavalry commanded by konut Lando rolled on before to announce their arrival to the marishal whom he found waiting with Mur de bavil and Sandra Cor in the garden of the rolates dreading every moment to receive word that Cavalier had refused to come for he expected great results from this interview Lolanda however reassured him by telling him the young hugenot was behind in a few minutes a great tumult was heard it was the people hastening to welcome their hero not a Protestant except paralytic old people and infant in the Cradle remained indoors for the hugenots who had long looked on Cavalier as their Champion now considered him their savior so that men and women threw themselves under the feet of his horse in their efforts to kiss the skirts of his coat it was more like a Victor making his entry into a conquered Town than a rebel Chief coming to beg for an amnesty for himself and his adherence mour dear heard the outcry from the garden of recet and when he learned its cause his esteem for Cavalier Rose higher for every day since his arrival as Governor had showed him more and more clearly how great was the young Chief's influence the tumult increased as Cavalier came nearer and it flashed through the marisha's mind that instead of giving hostages he should have claimed them at this moment Cavalier appeared at the gate and seeing the marelle's guard drawn up in line he caused his own to form a line opposite them the Memoirs of the time tell us that he was dressed in a coffee colored coat with a very full white musin corat he wore a cross belt from which depended his sword and on his head a gold laced hat of black felt he was mounted on a magnificent bay horse the same which he had taken from mour De janier on the bloody day of viren the lieutenant of the Guard met him at the gate kavalier quickly dismounted and throwing the bridal of his horse to one of his men he entered the garden and advanced towards the expectant Group which was composed as we have said of v bavil and Sandra cor as he drew near M de V regarded him with growing astonishment for he could not believe that in the young man or rather boy before him he saw the terrible sveno Chief whose name alone made the bravest soldiers tremble Cavalier at this period had just completed his 24th year but thanks to his fair hair which fell in Long locks over his shoulders and to the gentle expression of his eyes he did not appear more than 18 Cavalier was acquainted with none of the men in whose presence he stood but he noticed M dear's Rich dress and air of command he therefore saluted him first afterwards turning towards the others he bowed to each but less profoundly then somewhat embarrassed and with downcast eyes he stood motionless and Silent the maral still continued to look at him in silent astonishment turning from time to time to bavil and Sandra Court as if to assure himself that there was no mistake and that it was really the man who they expected who stood before them at last doubting still in spite of the signs they made to reassure him he asked are you really Jean Cavalier yes monor was the reply given in an unsteady voice but I mean Jean Cavalier the commissar general he who has assumed the title of Duke of the Sven I have not assumed that title monor only some people call me so in joke the King Alone has the right to confer titles and I Rejoice exceedingly monor that he has given you that of governor of languedoc when you are speaking of the king why do you not say his majesty said mure de bavil upon my soul the king is too good to treat thus with a rebel the blood rushed to Cavalier's head his face flamed and after a moment's pause fixing his eye boldly upon mure de bavil and speaking in a voice which was now as firm as it had been tremulous a moment before he said if you have only brought me here sir to speak to me in such a manner you might better have left me in my mountains and come there yourself to take a lesson in Hospitality if I am a rebel it is not I who am answerable for it was the Tyranny and cruelty of mure De bavil which forced us to have recourse to arms and if history takes exception to anything connected with the great Monarch for whose pardon I sue today it will be I hope not that he had foes like me but friends like him mure de bavil grew pale with anger for whether Cavalier knew to whom he was speaking or not his words had the effect of a violent blow full in his face but before he could reply mon dear interposed your business is only with me sir he said attend to me alone I beg I speak in the Name of the King and the king of his clemency wishes to spare his subjects by treating them with tenderness cavali opened his mouth to reply but the intendant cut him short I should hope that that suffices he said contemptuously as pardon is more than you could have hoped for I suppose you are not going to insist on the other conditions you laid down but it is precisely those other conditions said Cavalier addressing himself to mure De V and not seeming to see that anyone else was present for which we have fought if I were alone sir I should give myself up bound hand and foot with entire confidence in your good faith demanding no assurances and exacting no conditions but I stand here to defend the interests of my brethren and friends who trust me and what is more things have gone so far that we must either die weapon in hand or obtain our rights the intendant was about to speak but the mamal stopped him with such an imperative gesture that he stepped back as if to show that he washed his hands of the whole matter what are those writes are they those which mure laand has transmitted to me by Word of Mouth yes sir it would be well to commit them to writing I have done so monor and sent a copy to mure dager I have not seen it sir make me another copy and place it in my hands I beg I shall go and set about it directly Mount sior stepping back as if about to withdraw one moment said the maral detaining him by a smile is it true that you are willing to enter the kingk Army I am more than willing I desire it with all my heart exclaimed Cavalier with the Frank enthusiasm natural to his age but I cannot do so till our demands are granted but if they were granted then sir replied cavaliere the King has never had more loyal subjects than we shall be well have a little patience and everything will be arranged I hope may God grant it said Cavalier he is my witness that we desire peace Beyond everything and he took another step backwards you will not go too far away I hope said the maral we shall remain wherever your Excellency May appoint said Cavalier very well continued mure de V halt at calison and try all you can to induce the other leaders to follow your example I shall do my best monor but while we await his Majesty's reply shall we be allowed to fulfill our religious duties unimpeded yes I shall give orders that you are to have full Liberty in that respect thanks Manor Cavalier bowed once more and was about to go but mure dear accompanied him and laland who had now joined them and who stood with his hand on Cavalier's shoulder a few steps farther katat seeing that the conference was at an end entered the garden with his men thereupon mure de V took leave saying distinctly ad do Senor Cavalier and withdrew leaving the young Chief surrounded by a dozen persons all wanting to speak to him at once for half an hour he was detained by questions to all of which he replied pleasantly on one finger was an emerald taken from a naval officer named Didier whom he had killed with his own hand in the action at devois De Martin he kept Time by a superb watch which had belonged to mure dville the second in command of the Marines and he offered his questioners from time to time perfumed snuff from a magnificent snuff box which he had found in the holsters when he took possession of mour deaner's horse he told everyone who wished to listen that he had never intended to revolt against the king and that he was now ready to shed the last drop of his blood in his service that he had several times offered to surrender on condition that Liberty of conscience be granted to those of the new Faith but that mour de montravel had always rejected his offers so that he had been obliged to remain under arms in order to deliver those who were in prison and to gain permission for those who were free to worship God in their own way he said these things in an unembarrassed and graceful manner hat in hand then passing through the crowd which had gathered outside the garden of the recet he repaired to the hotel de la poost for lunch and afterwards walked along the esplanada to the house of one GE beard a gardener who was his head prophet's father as he thus moved about he was preceded by two kamis sards with drawn swords who made way for him and several ladies were presented to him who were happy to touch his dublet the visit over he once again passed along the esplanada still preceded by his two kards and just as he passed the little Convent he and those with him struck up a Psalm tune and continued singing till they reached St CER where the hostages were these he at once sent back 500 persons from nemes were awaiting him Refreshments were offered to him which he accepted gratefully thanking all those who had gathered together to meet him at last he went off to St denois where he was to S and sleep but before going to bed he offered up supplications in a loud voice for the king for mour de varar for mour Deanda and even for mour de bavil the next morning Cavalier according to promise sent a copy of his demands to mure Dear who caused it to be laid before the king along with a full report of all that had passed at the interview at nemes as soon as the young Chief had sent off his missive he rejoined his troops at Tarak and related all that had passed to Roland urging him to follow his example that night he slept at s having passed through dfor at the head of his men a captain of drons named Mont Gro with 25 soldiers accompanying him everywhere by Mur of's orders and seeing that the villages through which they passed furnished him with all that was needed they left sa on May 16th very early in the morning in order to get to cavis Sal which as our readers may remember was the place appointed for the residence of cavalier during the truce in passing through quak where they stopped for Refreshments they were joined by castan who delivered a long sermon at which all the Protestants of the neighborhood were present the two battalions of the chero regiment which were quartered at calison had received orders on the evening of the 17th to March out next morning so as to make room for the commissars on the 18th the head of the commissary Department vincel ordered suitable accomodation to be provided for Cavalier and his troops the muster roll being in the hands of mour dager it would be sent by him were brought in the course of the day in the meantime Vans were arriving filled with all sorts of Provisions followed by droves of cattle while a commissary and several clerks charged with the distribution of rations brought up the rear on the 19th konat accompanied by 12 kads rode into town and was met at the barrier by the commandant and 80 towns people as soon as the little Band came in sight the commandant reiterated his orders that nothing should be said or done in the town on pain of corporal punishment that could offend the kads at 1:00 p.m. Baron dager arrived followed in his turn by the chief of the kamarat vinel and Captain Capone two other officers named viala and desp and six drons these were the hostages cavaliere had given at 6:00 there was heard a great noise and shouts of Cavalier Cavalier resounded on all sides the young seven all was in sight and the whole population hastened to meet him he rode at the head of his Cavalry the Infantry following and the whole number about 600 men sang Psalms in a loud voice when they reached the church Cavalier Drew up before it with all his men in review order and for some time the singing went on when it stopped a long prayer was offered up which was most edifying to all the bystanders and this being over Cavalier went to the quarters assigned him which were in the best house in cavison arrived there he sent out for a dozen loaves that he might judge how his men were going to be fed not finding them white enough he complained to mour vinel whom he sent for and who promised that in future the bread should be of a better quality having received this assurance Cavalier gave orders that the loaves in hand should be distributed for that day but probably fearing poison he first made mour de vinel and his clerks taste them in his presence these duties accomplished he visited in person all the gates of the Town placed guards and posted Sentinels at all the entrances and along all the Avenues the most advanced being 3/4s of a league from the town besides this he placed guards in the streets and a sentinel at each door of the house he occupied in addition 30 guards always slept outside the door of his bedroom and these accompanied him as an escort when he went out not that he was afraid for he was not of a mistrustful character but that he thought it politic to give people an exalted idea of his importance as to the soldiers they were Abed on the inhabitants and received each as daily rations a pound of meat a quart of wine and 2 and A2 lounds of bread the same day a convocation was held on the site of the old meeting house which had been destroyed by the Catholics it was a very numerous assembly to which crowds of people came from All Parts but on the following days it was still more numerous for as the news spread people ran with great eagerness to hear the preaching of the word of which they had been so long deprived dager tells us in his Memoirs that no one could help being touched to see a whole people just escaped from fire and sword coming together in multitudes to mingle their tears and size so famished were they for the Mana Divine that they were like people coming out of a besieged city after a long and cruel famine to whom peace has brought food in abundance and who first devouring it with their eyes then throw themselves on it devouring it bodily meat bread and fruit as it comes to hand so it was with the unfortunate habitants of lavage and even of places more distant still they saw their Brethren assembling in The Meadows and at the gates of calison gathering in crowds and pressing around anyone who started singing a Psalm until at last four or 5,000 persons singing weeping and praying were gathered together and remained there all day supplicating God with a devotion that went to every heart and made a deep impression all night the same things went on nothing was to be heard but preaching singing praying and prophesying but if it was a time of joy for the Protestants it was a time of humiliation for the Catholics certainly says a contemporary historian it was a very surprising thing and quite a novelty to see in a province like languedoc where so many troops were quartered such a large number of villains all murderers incendiaries and guilty of sacrilege gathered together in one place by permission of those in command of the troops tolerated than their eccentricities fed at the public expense flattered by everyone and courteously received by people sent specially to meet them one of those who was most indignant at this state of things was mour de bavil he was so eager to put an end to it that he went to see the governor and told him the Scandal was becoming too great in his opinion the assemblies ought to be put in end to by allowing the troops to fall upon them and disperse them but the governor thought quite otherwise and told bavil that to act according to his advice would be to set fire to the province again and to scatter forever people whom they had got together with such difficulty in any case he reminded bavil that what he objected to would be over in a few days his opinion was that debil might stifle the expression of his dissatisfaction for a little to bring about a great good more than that added the marishal the impatience of the priests is most ridiculous besides besides your remonstrances of which I hope I have now heard the last I have received numberless letters full of such complaints that it would seem as if the prayers of the commissars not only gred on the ears of the clergy but flayed them alive I should like above everything to find out the writers of these letters in order to have them flogged but they have taken good care to put no signatures I regard it as a very great impertinence for those who cause these disturbances to Grumble and express their approval at my efforts to bring them to an end after this speech mure de bavil saw there was nothing for him to do but to let things take their course the course that they took turned Cavalier's head more and more for thanks to the injunctions of mure V all the orders that Cavalier gave were obeyed as if they had been issued by the governor himself he had a court like a prince lieutenants like a general and secretaries like a Statesman it was the duty of one secretary to give leave of absence to those commissars who had business to attend to or who desired to visit their relations the following is a copy of the form used for these passports we the undersigned secretary to brother cavaliere general isimo of the hugenots permit by this order given by him to absent himself on business for 3 Days signed dupon Calis and the safe conducts were as much respected as if they had been signed m Char dear on the 22nd mour de St Pierre arrived from the court bringing the reply of the king to the proposals which cavaliere had submitted to mour Deanda what this reply was did not transpire probably it was not in harmony with the Pacific intentions of the maral at last on the 25th the answer to the demands which Cavalier had made to M dears himself arrived the original paper written by the kamad chief himself had been sent to l the 14th and he returned it with notes in his own writing thus these two hands to one of which belonged the shepherd's Crook and to the other the scepter had rested on the same sheet of paper the following is the text of the agreement as given by cavaliere in his Memoirs The Humble Petition of the reformers of languedoc to the king one that it may please the king to grant us Liberty of conscience throughout the province and to permit us to hold religious meetings in every suitable place except fortified places and walled cities granted on condition that no churches be built two that all those in prison or at the galleys who have been sent there since the revocation of the Edict of nanes because of their religion be set at Liberty within 6 weeks from the date of this petition granted three that all those who have left the kingdom because of their religion be allowed to return in Freedom and safety and that their goods and privileges be restored to them granted on condition that they take the oath of fidelity to the king four that the parliament of languedoc be reestablished on its ancient footing and with all its former privileges the king reserves decision on this point five that the province of languedoc be Exempted from the pole tax for 10 years this to apply to Catholics and Protestants alike both sides having equally suffered refused six that the cities of pan melier set and aort be assigned us As Cities of Refuge refused seven that the inhabitants of the Sven whose houses were burnt or otherwise destroyed during the war be exempt from taxes for seven years granted eight that it may please his majesty to permit cavaliere to choose 2,000 men both from among his own troops and from among those who may be delivered from the prisons and gleys to form a regiment of drons for the service of his majesty and that this regiment when formed May at once be ordered to serve his majesty in Portugal granted on condition that all the hugenots everywhere lay down their arms the king will permit them to live quietly in the free exercise of their religion I had been a week at Calis says Cavalier in his m s when I received a letter from M La maral dear ordering me to repair to nemes as he wished to see me the answer to my demands having arrived I obeyed at once and was very much displeased to find that several of my demands and in particular the one relating to the Cities of Refuge had been refused but mure L marishal assured me that the king's word was better than 20 Cities of Refuge and that after all the trouble we had given him we should regard it as showing great clemency on his part that he had granted us the greater part of what we had asked this reasoning was not entirely convincing but as there was no more time for deliberation and as I was as anxious for peace as the king himself I decided to accept gracefully what was offered all the further advantage that Cavalier could obtain from mure De varar was that the treaty should bear the date of the day on which it had been drawn up in this manner the prisoners who were to be set at Liberty in 6 weeks gained one week mure de varar wrote at the bottom of the treaty which was signed the same day by him and mure de bavil on the part of the king and by Cavalier and Danielle beard on the part of the Protestants the following ratification in virtue of the plenary powers which we have received from the King we have granted to the reformers of langued the Articles above made known mamal dears J Cavalier lonon deil Daniel Beard given at names the the 17th of May 1704 these two signatures all unworthy as they were to stand beside their own gave such great Delight to Mur de varar and de bavil that they at once sent off fresh orders to cavison that the want of the kard should be abundantly supplied until the articles of the treaty were executed that is to say until the prisoners and the galley slaves were set at Liberty which according to the article two of the treaty would be within the next 6 weeks as to Cavalier the marishal gave him on the spot a commission as Colonel with a pension of 12200 lever attached and the power of nominating the subordinate officers in his regiment at the same time he handed him a captain's commission for his young brother Cavalier Drew up the muster rle of the regiment the same day and gave it to the mamal it was to consist of 712 men forming 15 companies with 16 captains 16 lieutenants a sergeant major and a surgeon major while all this was happening Roland taking advantage of the suspension of hostilities was riding up and down the province as if he were Vice Roy of the svan and wherever he appeared he had a magnificent reception like Cavalier he gave leave of absence and furnished escorts and held himself haughtily sure that he too would soon be negotiating treaties on terms of equality with Marshals of France and governors of provinces but Roland was much mistaken mon dear had made great concessions to the popularity of cavalier but they were the last he intended to make so instead of being in his turn summoned to nemes or usza to confer with malar Roland merely received an intimation from Cavalier that he desired to speak with him on important business they met near andus and cavaliere faithful to the promise given to mour Dear neglected no argument that he could think of to induce Roland to follow his example but Roland would listen to nothing then when cavaliere saw that arguments and Promises were of no avail he raised his voice in anger but Roland laying his hand on his shoulder told him that his head was turned that he should remember that he Roland was his senior in command and therefore Bound by nothing that had been promised in His Name by his Junior and that he had registered a vow in heaven that nothing would persuade him to make peace unless complete Liberty of conscience were granted to All the Young seol who was unaccustomed to such language laid his hand on the hilt of his sword Roland stepping back drew his and the consultation would have ended in a duel if the prophets had not thrown themselves between them and succeeded in getting Roland to consent to one of their number a man much esteemed among the hugenots named Salamon going back to nemes with Cavalier to learn from mon V's own mouth what the exact terms were which Cavalier had accepted and now offered to Roland in a couple of hours Cavalier and salamol set out together and arrived at nemes on the 27th May escorted by 25 men they halted at the tower of mana and the Protestants of the city came out to meet them bringing Refreshments then after prayers and a hasty meal they Advanced to the barracks and crossed the courtyards The Concourse of people and the enthusiasm was no wit less than on Cavalier's first entry more than 300 persons kissing his hands and knees cavali year was dressed on this occasion in a dublet of gray cloth and a beaver hat laced with gold and adorned with a white feather Cavalier and his traveling companion went direct to the Garden of the recollet and hardly had they got there than Mur de vilar and de bavil accompanied by Lolanda and Sandra Court came out to meet them the conference lasted 3 hours but all that could be learned of the result was that salamol had declared that his Brethren would never lay down their arms till full Liberty of con conscience had been secured to them in consequence of this declaration it was decided that Cavalier and his regiment should be dispatched to Spain without delay in order to weaken the calvinist forces to that extent meantime salamol was sent back to Roland with a positive promise that if he would surrender as Cavalier had done he would be granted these same conditions that is to say receive a commission as Colonel have the right to name the officers of his regiment and receive a pension of 1200 lever on quitting The Garden of rolet cavalier found as great a crowd as ever waiting for him and so closely did they press on him that two of his men were obliged to ride before him withdrawn Sabers to clear a way for him till the Mont pelier Road was reached he lay that night at langada in order to rejoin his troops early next morning but during his absence things had happened among these men who had hitherto obeyed him blindly which he little expected he had left as usual Ravenel in command but hardly had he ridden away when Ravenel began to take all kinds of precautions ordering the men not to lay aside their arms the negotiations with Mur varar had made him most anxious he looked upon all the promises given as snares and he regarded the compromise favored by his chief as a defection on Cavalier's part he therefore called all the officers and Men together told them of his fears and ended by imbuing them with his suspicions this was all the more easily done as it was was very well known that Cavalier had joined the hugenots less from Devotion to the cause than to avenge a private wrong and on many occasions had given rise to the remark that he had more genius than religion so on getting back to cavison the young Chief found his principal officers renel at their head drawn up in the marketplace waiting for him as soon as he drew near they told him that they were determined to know at once what were the conditions of the treaty he had signed with the marelle they had had made up their minds to have a plain answer without delay such a way of speaking to him was so strange and unexpected that Cavalier Shrugged his shoulders and replied that such matters were no business of theirs being too high for their intelligence that it was his business to decide what course to take and theirs to take it it had always been so in the past and with the help of God and his own Cavaliers goodwi it should still be so in the future and having so spoken he told them to disperse r upon this came forward and in the name of all the others said they would not go away until they knew what orders Cavalier was about to give the troops that they might consult among themselves whether they should obey them or not this insubordination was too much for Cavaliers patience the orders are he said to put on the uniforms that are being made for you and to follow me to Portugal the effect of such words on men who were expecting nothing less than the reenactment of the Edict of nanes can be easily imagined the words coward and traitor could be distinguished above the murmurs as cavaliere noticed with increasing astonishment raising himself in his stups and glancing round with that look before which they had been used to tremble he asked in a voice as calm as if all the Demons of anger were not raging in his heart who called Jean Cavalier traitor and coward I said Ravenel Crossing his arms on his breasts Cavalier drew a pist from his holsters and striking those near him with the butt end opened way towards his Lieutenant who drew his sword but at this moment the commissary General vinel and Captain Capon threw themselves between the two and asked the cause of the quarrel the cause said ravanel is that the cadets of the Cross led by The Hermit have just knocked out the brains of two of our Brethren who are coming to join us and are hindering others from attending our meetings to worship God the conditions of the truth having been thus broken is it likely they will keep those of the treaty we refuse to accept the treaty sir said vincel if the hermit has done what you say it is against the orders of the marishal and the misdo will be punished besides the large number of strangers at present in cavison all to be sufficient proof that no attempt has been made to prevent the new converts from coming to town and it seems to me that you have been too easily led to believe everything that malicious people have told you I believe what I choose to believe said ranel impatiently but what I know and say is that I shall never lay down arms till the king grants us full Liberty of conscience permission to rebuild our places of worship and sends us back all prisoners and Exiles but judging by your tone said cavier who had till now remained silent while toying with his pistol you seem to be in command here have we changed Parts without my being aware it is possible said Ravenel Cavalier burst out laughing laughing it seems to astonish you said Ravenel but it is true make peace for yourself lay down what conditions suit you sell yourself for whatever you will bring my only reply is you are a coward and a traitor but as to the Troops they will not lay down arms except on the conditions formulated by me Cavalier tried to get at Ravenel but seeing from his pness and his smile that terrible things would happen if he reached his lieutenant vincel and Capon backed by some kamis sards threw themselves before his horse just then the whole band shouted with one voice no peace no peace no reconciliation till our temples are restored Cavalier then saw for the first time that things were more serious than he had believed but vincel Capon ble and about 20 commissars surrounding the young Chief and forced him to enter a house it was the house of vincel they had hardly got indoors when the generali was sounded resisting all int treaties Cavalier sprang to the door but was detained by Berle who said that the first thing he ought to do was to write mure de varar on account of what had happened who would then take measures to put things straight you are right said Cavalier as I have so many enemies the general might be told if I were killed that I had broken my word give me pen and ink writing materials were brought and he wrote to mure De varar here he said giving the letter unsealed to vincel set out for nemes and give this to the marishal and tell him if I am killed in the attempt I about to make I died his humble servant with these words he darted out of the house and mounted his horse being met at the door by 12 to 15 men who had remained faithful to him he asked them where Ravenel and his troops were not seeing a single kard in the streets one of the soldiers answered that they were probably still in town but that they were moving towards Lear de cavison Cavalier said off at a Gallop to overtake them end of chapter 4 Section 1 chapter 4 section 2 in crossing the marketplace he met katat walking between two prophets one called Moses and the other Daniel ghee katat was just back from a visit to the mountains so that he had taken no part in the scene of insubordination that had So lately been enacted Cavalier felt a ray of hope he was sure he could depend on katat as on himself he hurried to greet him holding out his hand but katat Drew back his what does this mean cried Cavalier the blood mounting to his forehead it means answered katat that you are a traitor and I cannot give my hand to a traitor Cavalier gave a cry of Rage in advancing on katat raised his Cane to strike him but Moses and Daniel G threw themselves between so that the blow aimed at katat fell on Moses at the same moment katat seeing Cavalier's gesture drew a pistol from his belt as it was at full it went off in his hand a bullet piercing Gee's hat without however wounding him at the noise of the report shouts were heard about a 100 yards away it was the kamis sards who had been put on the point of leaving the town but hearing the shot had turned back believing that some of their Brethren were being murdered on seeing them appear cavaliere forgot katot and rode straight towards them as soon as they caught sight of him they halted and Ravenel Advanced before them ready for every danger Brethren he cried the traitor has come once more to tempt us be gone Judas you have no business here but I have exclaimed cavaliere I have to punish a scoundrel called Ravenel if he has courage to follow me come on then cried Ravenel darting down a small side street and let us have done with it the commissars made a motion as if to follow them but Ravenel turning towards them ordered them to remain where they were they obeyed and thus Cavalier could see that insubordinate as they had been towards him they were ready to obey another just at the moment as he turned into the Narrow Street where the dispute was to be settled once for all Moses and gee came up and seizing the bridal of his Horse stopped him while the commissars who were on the side of cavalier surrounded ravanel and forced him to return to his soldiers the troops struck up a s and resumed their March while cavaliere was held back by force at last however the young seven all succeeded in breaking away from those who surrounded him and as the street by which the commissars had retired was blocked he dashed down another the two prophets suspecting his intention hurried after the troops by the most direct route and got up with them just as Cavalier who had made the Circuit of the Town came Galloping across the plane to intercept their passage the troops halted and Ravenel gave orders to fire the first rank raised their muskets and took aim thus indicating that they were ready to obey but it was not a danger of this kind that could frighten Cavalier he continued to advance then Moses seeing his Peril threw himself between the kamis sards and him stretching out his arms and shouting stop stop misguided men are you going to kill brother Cavalier like a Highwayman and Thief you must pardon him my brethren you must pardon him if he has done wrong in the past he will do better in the future then those who had taken came at Cavalier grounded their muskets and Cavalier changing Menace for entreaty begged them not to break the promise that he had made in their name whereupon the prophets struck up a Psalm and the rest of the soldiers joining in his voice was completely drowned nevertheless cavaliere did not lose heart but accompanied them on their march to St estv about a league further on unable to relinquish all hope on reaching St AEV the singing ceased for a moment and he made another attempt to recall them to obedience seeing however that it was all in vain he gave up hope and calling out at least defend yourselves as well as you can for the drons will soon be upon you he set his horse's head towards the town then turning to them for the last time he said Brethren let those who love me follow me he pronounced these words in tones so full of grief and affection that many were shaken in their resolution but Ravenel and Moses seeing the effect he had produced began to shout the sword of the Lord immediately all the troops turned their back on cavaliere except about 40 men who had joined him on his first appearance Cavalier went into a house nearby and wrote another letter to mure Dear in which he told him what had just taken place the efforts he had made to win back his troops and the conditions they demanded he ended by assuring him that he would make still further efforts and promised the marishal that he would keep him informed of everything that went on he then withdrew to cardan not venturing to return to cavison both Cavalier's letters reached mure dear at the same time in the first impulse of anger aroused by this unexpected check he issued the following order since coming to this province and taking over the government by order of the king our sole thought has been how to put an end to the disorders we found existing here by gentle measures and to restore peace and to preserve the property of those who had taken no part in the disturbances to that end we obtained his Majesty's pardon for those Rebels who had by the persuasion of their Chiefs been induced to lay down their arms the only condition exacted being that they should throw themselves on the king's clemency and beg his permission to expiate their crime by adventuring their lives in his service but being informed that instead of keeping the engagements they had made by signing petitions by writing letters and by speaking words expressing their intentions some among them have been trying to delude the the minds of the people with false hopes of full Liberty for the exercise of this so-called reformed religion which there has never been any intention of granting but which we have always declared as clearly as we could to be contrary to the will of the king and likely to bring about great evils for which it would be difficult to find a remedy it becomes necessary to prevent those who give belief to these falsehoods from expecting to escape from well-deserved chastisement we therefore declare hereby that all religious assemblies are expressly forbidden under the penalties proclaimed in the edicts and ordinances of his majesty and that these will be more strictly enforced in the future than in the past furthermore we order all the troops under our Command to break up such assemblies by force as having been always illegal and we desire to impress on the new converts of this province that they are to give their obedience where it is due and we forbid them to give any Credence to the false reports which the enemies of their Repose are spreading abroad if they let themselves be led astray they will soon find themselves involved in troubles and misfortunes such as the loss of their lands the ruin of their families and the desolation of their country and we shall take care that the true authors of these misfortunes shall receive punishment proportioned to their crime maral dear given at nemes the 27th day of May 1704 this order which put everything back upon the footing on which it had been in the time of malore De montravel had hardly been issued then dagers in despair at seeing the result of so much labor destroyed in one day set off for the mountains to try and find Cavalier he found him at card with as we have said he had retired after the day of Calis despite the resolution which Cavalier had taken never to show his face again to the maral the baron repeated to him so many times that mour de villars was thoroughly convinced that what had happened had not been his fault he having done everything that he could to prevent it that the young Chief began to feel his self-confidence and courage returning and hearing that the marishal had expressed himself as very much pleased with his conduct to which vincel had borne High testimony made up his mind to return to nemes they left card at once follow followed by the 40 men who had remained true to Cavalier 10 on horse and 30 on foot and arrived on the 31st May at St Jenny's with mure dear had come to meet them the assurances of dagers were Justified the maral received Cavalier as if he were still the chief of a powerful party and able to negotiate with him on terms of equality at Cavalier's request in order to prove to him that he stood as high in his good opinion as ever The maral Returned once more to gentlemen methods and mitigated the severity of his first Proclamation by a second granting an extension of the amnesty the principal Chiefs of the rebels with the greater number of their followers having surrendered and having received the king's pardon we declare that we give to all those who have taken up arms until next Thursday the fifth instant inclusive the opportunity of receiving the like pardon by surrendering to us at andu or to mure L Marque Deanda at Al or to sh andal at St hippo or to the commandants of usza nemes and lunel but the fifth day past we shall lay a heavy hand on all Rebels pillaging and burning all the places which have given them Refuge Provisions or help of any kind and that they may not plead ignorance of this Proclamation we order it to be publicly read and posted up in every suitable Place marel dear at St Jenny's the first June 1704 the next day in order to leave no doubt as to his good intentions the mamelle had the Jetson scaffolds taken down which until then had been permanent erections at the same time all the hugenots were ordered to make a last effort to indued the commissar Chiefs to accept the conditions offered them by mon varar the towns of La Anda St John S St hippo and Lal and the parishes of Craw St Roman mané St Felix lucer cesas Cambo konyak and VAB were ordered to send deputies to defor to confer as to the best means of bringing about that peace which everyone desired the deputies wrote at once to Mono de V to beg him to send them mour dager and to mour dager to request him to come both consented to do as they were asked and monore dager arrived at D four on the 3rd of June 1704 the deputies having first thanked him for the trouble which he had taken to serve the common cause during the past year resolved to divide their assembly into two parts one of which was to remain permanently sitting while the other went to seek Roland and Ravenel to try and obtain a cessation of hostilities the deputies charged with this task were ordered to make it quite clear to the two chiefs that if they did not accept the proposals made by mure De V the Protestants in general would take up arms and hunt them down and would cease to supply them with the means of subsistence on hearing this Roland made reply that the deputies were to go back at once to those who sent them and threatened should they ever show him their faces again to fire on them this answer put an end to the assembly the deputies dispersed and dager returned to the maral dears to make his report hardly had he done this when a letter from Roland arrived in which the commissar chief asked M dear to Grant him an interview such as he had granted to Cavalier this letter was addressed to dager who immediately communicated its contents to the Marell from whom he received orders to set out at once to find Roland and to spare no pains to bring him round dager who was always indefatigable when working for his country started the same day and went to a mountain about 3/4 of a league from Anda where Roland awaited him after a conference of 2 hours it was agreed that hostages should be exchanged and negotiations entered upon consequently mon V on his side sent Rolan Mon de manra an officer commanding a battalion of Marines and mour Deon blanch captain of the fule regiment while Roland in return sent mure dear four of his principal officers with the title of plenipotentiaries unskilled in diplomacy as these envoys were and laughable as they appeared to contemporary historian an they receive nevertheless the maral's consent to the following conditions one that Cavalier and Roland should each be placed in charge of a regiment serving abroad and that each of them should be allowed a minister two that all the prisoners should be released and the Exiles recalled three that the Protestants should be permitted to leave the kingdom taking their effects with them four that those commissars who desired to remain might do so on giving up their arms five five that those who were abroad might return six that no one should be molested on account of his religion provided everyone remained quietly at home seven that indemnities should be borne by the whole Province and not exacted specially from the Protestants eight that a general amnesty should be granted to all without Reserve these articles were laid before Roland and Ravenel by dagers Cavalier who from the day he went back to nemes had remained in the Govern Governor s asked leave to return with the baron and was permitted to do so dager and he set out together in consequence for Anda and met rohand and Ravenel about a quarter of a league from the town waiting to know the result of the negotiations they were accompanied by Monsur deont Bell and deeson blanch the Catholic hostages as soon as Cavalier and Roland met they burst out into recriminations and reproaches but through the efforts of dagers they soon became more friendly and even embraced on parting but Ravenel was made of harder stuff as soon as he caught sight of cavaliere he called him traitor saying that for his part he would never surrender till the Edict of nanes was reenacted then having warned them that the governor's promises were not to be trusted and having predicted that a day would come when they would regret their too great confidence in him he left the conference and rejoined his troops which with those of Roland were drawn up on a mountain about 3ars of a league distant the negotiators did not however despair Ravenel had gone away but Roland had debated with them at some length so they determined to speak to the Brethren that is to the Troops under Roland and Ravenel whose headquarters at the moment were at lzy in order that they might know exactly what articles had been agreed on between Roland's envoys and the maral those who made up their minds to take this step were Cavalier Roland muaz St Paul laf for Maya and we take the following account of what happened in consequence of this decision from Dag's Memoirs we are no sooner determined on this plan then anxious to carry it out we set off we followed a narrow mountain path on the face of the cliff which rose up to our right to our left flow the Gardon having gone about a league we came in sight of the troops about 3,000 strong an advanced post barred our way thinking it was placed there in our honor I was advancing unsuspicious when suddenly we found our road cut off by kamis sards to right and left who threw themselves on Roland and forced him in among their troops Maya and Mal were dragged from their horses as to Cavalier who was somewhat behind as soon as he saw people coming towards him with uplifted Sabers and shouting traitor he put Spurs to his horse and went off at full Gallop followed by some towns people from Anda who had come with us and who now that they saw the reception we met with were ready to die with fear I was too far forward to escape five or six muskets rested on my breast and a pistol pressed each ear so I made up my mind to be bold I told the Troopers to fire I was willing to die in the service of my prince my country and my religion as well as for themselves whom I was trying to benefit by procuring them the king's Good Will these words which I repeated several times in the midst of the greatest uproar gave them pause they commanded me to retire as they did not want to kill me I said I should do nothing of the kind I was going into the middle of the troops to defend Roland against the charges of treason or be put to death myself unless I could convince them that what I had proposed to him in cavaliere was for the good of the country of our religion and the Brethren and having thus expostulated at the top of my voice against 30 voices all trying to drown mine for about an hour I offered to fight the man who had induced them to oppose us at this ER they pointed their muskets at me once more but Maya mlock and some others threw themselves before me and although they were unarmed had enough influence to hinder my being insulted I was forced however to retreat in leaving I warned them that they were about to bring great misfortunes on the province whereupon a man named clar stepped out from among the troops and approached me exclaimed go on sir and God bless you we know that you mean well and we the first to be taken in but go on working for the good of the country and God will bless you dager returned to the marishal who furious at the turn things had taken resolved instantly to break off all negotiations and have recourse once more to measures of severity however before actually carrying out this determination he wrote The Following letter to the king sire it is always my glory to execute Faithfully your Majesty's orders whatever those orders may be but I should have been able on many occasions since coming here to display my Zeal for your Majesty's service and other ways if I had not had to deal with Mad Men on whom no dependence could be placed as soon as we were ready to attack them they offered to submit but a little later changed their minds again nothing could be a greater proof of Madness than their hesitation to accept a pardon of which they were unworthy and which was so generously offered by your majesty if they do not soon make up their minds I shall bring them back to the paths of Duty by force and thus restore this province to that state of Peace which has been disturbed by these fools the day after writing this letter to the king Rand sent Maya to mure Deer to beg him to wait till Saturday and Sunday the 7th and the eth June were over before resorting to severity that being the end of the truce he gave him a solemn promise that he would in the interval either bring in his troops to the last man or would himself surrender along with 150 followers the marishal consented to wait until Saturday morning but as soon as Saturday arrived he gave orders to attack the commissars and the next day led a considerable body of troops to carolle intending to take the hugenots by surprise as word had been brought that they were all gathered there they however received intelligence of his plan and evacuated The Village during the night the village had to pay dearly for its sin of hospitality it was pillaged and burnt down the m even murdered two women whom they found there and dager failed to obtain any satisfaction for this crime in this manner m v kept the Fatal promise he had given and interin War raged once more furious at having missed the commissars Deon having heard from his Scouts that Roland was to sleep next night at The Chateau de Prada went to Mono dear and asked leave to conduct an expedition against the chief he was almost sure of taking Roland by surprise having procured a guide whose knowledge of the country was minute the maral gave him cart blanch in the evening Manan set out with 200 grenadiers he had already put three qus of the way behind him without being discovered when an Englishman met them by chance this man was serving under Rolan but had been visiting his sweetheart in the neighboring Village and was on his way home when he fell among menon's grenadiers without a thought for his own safety he fired off his gun shouting fly fly the Royals are upon you the Sentinels took up the cry Roland jumped out of bed and without staying for clothes or horse ran off in his shirt escaping by a postar gate which opened on the forest just as demonon entered by another he found Roland's bed still warm and took possession of his clothes finding in a coat pocket a purse containing 35 Louie and in the Stables three superb horses the commissars answered this beginning of hostilities by a murder four of them thinking they had reason for displeasure against one of M deil's subordinates named do who was both mayor and magistrate at Levon hid in a cornfield which he had to pass on his way back from Lavalette his Country Place their measures were successful da came along just as was expected and as he had not the slightest suspicion of the impending danger he continued conversing with mour Deon darder a gentleman of the neighborhood who had asked for the hand of DA's daughter in marriage that very day suddenly he found himself surrounded by four men who up braiding him for his exactions and cruelties shot him twice through the head with a pistol they offered no violence to mour deonier except to deprive him of his laced hat and sword the day on which m v heard of its murder he set a price on the heads of Roland Ravenel and katonak still the example set by Cavalier joined to the resumption of hostilities was not without influence on the commissars every day letters arrived from single Troopers offering to lay down their arms and in one day 30 Rebels came in and put themselves into L's hands while 20 surrendered to granval these were accorded not only pardon but received a reward in hopes that they might be able to induce others to do like them and on the 15th June eight of the troops which had abandoned Cavalier at calison made submission while 12 others asked to be allowed to return to their old Chief to follow him him wherever he went this request was at once granted they were s to valre where they found 42 of their old comrades amongst whom were duplan and Cavalier's young brother who had been ordered there a few days before as they arrived they were given quarters in the barracks and received good pay the Chiefs 40 sue a day and the privates 10 so they felt as happy as possible being wellfed and well lodged and spent their time preaching praying and Psalm singing in SE season and out of season all this says labal was so disagreeable to the inhabitants of the place who were Catholics that if they had not been guarded by the king's soldiers they would have been pitched into the rone end of chapter 4 section two chapter 5 part 1 meantime the date of Cavalier's departure Drew near a town was to be named in which he was to reside at a sufficient distance from the theater of war to prevent the rebels from depending on him anymore in this town he was to organize his regiment and as soon as it was complete it was to go under his command to Spain and fight for the king m v was still on the same friendly terms with him treating him not like a rebel but according to his new rank in the French army on the 21st June he told him that he was to get ready to leave the next day and at the same time he handed him in advance on their future pay 50 Louie for himself 30 for Daniel Beard who had been made lieutenant colonel in the place of Ravenel 10 for each Captain five for each Lieutenant two for each sergeant and one for each private the number of his followers had then reached 150 only 60 of whom were armed mord vasak major in the fimaron regiment accompanied them with 50 dragons and 50 of the rank and file from hanol all along the road Cavalier and his men met with a courteous reception at Mak they found orders awaiting them to Halt Cavalier at once wrote to mure D shamard to tell him that he had things of importance to communicate to him and the minister sent a career of the cabinet called Laval to bring Cavalier to Versailles this message more than fulfilled all Cavalier's hopes he knew that he had been greatly talked about at court and in spite of his natural modesty the reception he had met with at times had given him new ideas is if not of his own Merit at least of his own importance besides he felt that his services to the king deserved some recognition the way in which Cavalier was received by shayar did not disturb these golden dreams the minister welcomed the young Colonel like a man whose worth he appreciated and told him that the great Lords and Ladies of the Court were not less favorably disposed towards him the next day shamard announced to Cavalier that the king desired to see him and that he was to keep himself prepared for a summons to court 2 Days Later Cavalier received a letter from the minister telling him to be at the palace at 4:00 in the afternoon and he would Place him on the grand staircase up which the king would pass cavaliere put on his handsomest clothes for the first time in his life perhaps taking trouble with his toilet he had fine features to which his extreme youth his long Fair hair and the gentle expression of his eyes lent much charm two years of warfare had given him a martial air in short even among the most elegant he might pass as a bow Cavalier at 3:00 he reached Versa and found shamard waiting for him all the cers of every rank were in a state of great excitement for they had learned that the great Louie had expressed a wish to meet the late Sanol Chief whose name had been pronounced so loud and so often in the mountains of languedoc that its Echoes had resounded in the halls of Versa Cavalier had not been mistaken in thinking that everyone was curious to see him only as no one one yet knew in what light the king regarded him the courtiers dared not accost him for fear of compromising their dignity the manner of his reception by his majesty would regulate the warmth of his reception by everyone else met thus by looks of curiosity and affected silence the young Colonel felt some embarrassment and this increased when shamard who had accompanied him to his appointed place left him to rejoin the king however in a few moments he did what embarrassed people so often do hid his shyness under an air of disdain and leaning on the ballustrade crossed his legs and played with the feather of his hat when half an hour had passed in this manner a great commotion Was Heard cavaliere turned in the direction from which it came and perceived the king just entering the vestibule it was the first time he had seen him but he recognized him at once Cavalier's knees knocked together and his face flushed the king mounted the stairs step by step with his usual dignity stopping from time to time to say a word or make a sign with head or hand behind him two steps lower came shamard moving and stopping as the king moved and stopped and answering the questions which his majesty put to him in a respectful but formal and precise manner reaching the level on which cavaliere stood the king stopped under pretext of pointing out to shamay Yard a new ceiling which Le Brun had just finished but really to have a good look at the singular man who had maintained a struggle against two Marshals of France and treated with a third on equal terms when he had examined him quite at his ease he turned to shamay yard pretending he had only just caught sight of the stranger and asked who is this young gentleman sire answered the minister stepping forward to present him to the King this is Colonel Jean Cavalier ah yes said the king contemptuously the former Baker of Anda and shrugging his shoulders disdainfully he passed on cavaliere on his side had like shamard taken a step forward when the scornful answer of the great king changed him into a statue for an instant he stood motionless and pale as death then instinctively he laid his hand on his sword but becoming conscious that he was lost if he remained an instant longer among these people whom not one of his motions escaped although they pretended to despise him too much to be aware of his presence he dashed down the staircase and through the hall upsetting two or three footmen who were in his way hurried into the garden ran across it at full speed and regaining his room at the hotel threw himself on the floor where he rolled like a maniac uttering cries of rage and cursing the hour when trusting to the promises of mour dear he had abandoned the mountains where he was as much a king as Louie I 14th at Versa the same evening he received orders to leave Paris and rejoin his regiment at Mak he therefore set out the next morning without seeing mour D shamard again Cavalier on arriving at Mak found that his comrades had had a visit from mour dager who had come again to Paris in the hope of obtaining more from the King than m v could or would Grant Cavalier without telling his comrades of the strange manner in which the king had received him gave them to understand that he was beginning to fear that not only would the promises they had received been broken but that some strange trick would be played upon them there upon these men whose Chief and Oracle he had been for so long asked him what they ought to do Cavalier replied that if they would follow him their best course and his would be to take the first opportunity of gaining the frontier and leaving the country they all declared themselves ready to follow him anywhere this caused cavaliere a new Pang of regret for he could not help recollecting that he had once had under his command 1500 men like these the next day Cavalier and his comrades set out on their March without knowing whether they were being taken not having been able to obtain any information as to their destination from their escort a silence which confirmed them in their resolution as soon therefore as they reached Onan Cavalier declared that he considered that the looked for opportunity had arrived asking them if they were still in the same mind they returned that they would do whatever he advised cavaliere then ordered them to hold themselves in Readiness Daniel offered up a prayer and the prayer ended the whole comp deserted in a body and Crossing Mount Bellard entered poent Troy and took the road to Luzan meantime dager in his turn arrived at Versailles with letters from M de villars for the Duke of boier president of the king's Council and for shamay yard the evening of his arrival he delivered these letters to those to whom they were addressed and both gentlemen promised to present him to the King 4 days later shamay yard sent word to dager that he was to be next day at the door of the the king's chamber at the time when the council entered dager was punctual the king appeared at the usual hour and as he paused before dager shamard came forward and said Baron dager sire I am very glad to see you sir said the king for I am very much pleased with the Zeal you have displayed in languedoc in my service very much pleased indeed sire answered dager I consider myself most unfortunate in that I have been able to accomplish nothing deserving of the gracious Words which your majesty DS to address me and I pray God of his grace to grant me in the future an opportunity of proving my Zeal and loyalty in your Majesty's service more clearly than hitherto never mind never mind said the king I repeat sir that I am very much pleased with what you have done and he entered the room where the council was waiting dager went away only half satisfied he had not come so far only to receive Commendation from the King but in the hope of obtaining some concession for his Brethren but with Louis the 14th it was impossible either to intercede or complain one could only wait the same evening shamard sent for the baron and told him that as marishal vs had mentioned in his letter that the commissars had great confidence in him dager he wished to ask him if he were willing to go once more to them and try and bring them back to the path of Duty certainly I am willing but I fear things have now got so far that there will be great difficulty in calming the general perturbation of mind but what can these people want asked shamard as if he had just heard them spoken of for the first time and by what means can we pfy them in my opinion said the baron the king should allow to all his subjects the free exercise of their religion what legalize once more the exercise of the so-called reformed religion exclaimed the minister be sure you never mention such a thing again the king would rather see his kingdom destroyed than consent to such a measure monia replied the baron if that is the case then I must say with great regret that I know of no other way to calm the discontent which will ultimately result in the ruin of one of the fairest provinces in France but that is unheard of obstinacy said the minister lost in astonishment these people will destroy themselves and drag their country down with them if they cannot conform to our religion why do they not worship God in their own way at home no one will disturb them as long as they don't insist on public worship at first that was all they wanted Manor and I am convinced that if people had not been dragged to confession and communion by force it would have been easy to keep them in that submissive frame of mind from which they were only driven by despair but at present they say that it is not enough to pray at home they want to to be married to have their children baptized and instructed and to die and be buried according to the ordinances of their own faith where may you have seen anyone who was ever made to communicate by force asked shamard dager looked at the minister in Surprise thinking he spoke in joke but seeing he was quite serious he answered alas man sior my late father and my mother who is still living are both instances of people subjected to this indignity are you then not a Catholic asked shamard no mon Senor replied dager then how did you manage to return to France to speak the truth sir I only came back to help my mother to escape but she never could make up her mind to leave France as such a step was surrounded by many difficulties which she feared she could never surmount so she asked my other relations to persuade me to remain I yielded to their importunities on condition that they would never interfere with my beliefs to accomplish this end they got a priest with whom they were intimate to say that I had changed my views once more and I did not contradict the report it was a great sin on my part and I deeply repent it I must add however that whenever anyone has asked me the question your Excellency asked me just now I have always given the same reply the minister did not seem to take The Baron's frankness in bad part only he remarked when dismissing him that he hoped he would find out some way of ridding the kingdom of those who refused to think in religious matters as his majesty commanded dager replied that it was a problem to which he had given much thought but without ever being able to find a solution but that he would think about it more earnestly in the future he then withdrew some days later shamard sent word to dager that the king would graciously give him a farewell audience the baron relates what took place at this second interview as follows his majesty says he received me in the council chamber and was so good as to repeat once more in the presence of all his ministers that he was very much pleased with my services but that there was one thing about me he should like to correct I begged his majesty to tell me what the fault was and I should try to get rid of it at the Peril of my life it is your religion said the king I should like to have you become a good Catholic so that I might be able to to Grant you favors and enable you to serve me better his majesty added that I ought to seek instruction and that then I should one day recognize what a great benefit he desired to bring within my reach I answered that I would esteem myself happy if at the cost of my life I could prove the burning Zeal with which I was filled for the service of the greatest of Earthly Kings but that I should be Unworthy of the least of his favors if I obtained it by hypocrisy or by anything of which my conscience did not approve Pro but that I was grateful for the goodness which made him anxious for my salvation I told him also that I had already taken every opportunity of receiving instruction and had tried to put aside the prejudices arising from my birth such as often hindered people from recognizing the truth with the result that I had at one time almost lost all sense of religion until God taking pity on me had opened my eyes and brought me out of that deplorable condition making me see that the faith in which I had been born was the the only one for me I can assure your majesty I added that many of the languedoc Bishops who ought it seems to me to try to make us Catholics are the instruments which Providence uses to prevent us from becoming so for instead of attracting Us by gentleness and good example they ceaselessly subject us to all kinds of persecutions as if to convince us that God is punishing us for our cowardice in giving up a religion which we know to be good by delivering us up to pastors who far from laboring to assure our Salvation use all their efforts to deprive us to despair at this the king Shrugged his shoulders and said enough do not say anymore I asked for his Blessing as the king and father of all his subjects the king burst out laughing and told me that mour Des shamard would give me his orders in virtue of this intimation dager went next day to The Minister's Country House for shamard had given him that address and there he learned that the king had granted him a pension of 800 liver the baron remarked that not having worked for money he had hoped for a better reward as far as money was concerned he desired only the reimbursement of the actual expenses of his journeys to and from but shamard answered that the king expected all that he offered and whatever he offered to be accepted with gratitude to this there was no possible reply so the same evening dager set out on his return to langued do 3 months months later shamard forwarded him an order to leave the kingdom telling him that he was to receive a pension of 400 crowns perom and enclosing the first quarter in advance as there was no means of evading this command dager set out for Geneva accompanied by 33 followers arriving there on the 23rd of September once rid of him Louie the Magnificent thought that he had done his part nobly and that he owed him nothing further so that dager waited a whole year in vain for the second quarter of his pension at the end of this time as his letters to shaayad remained unanswered and finding himself without resources in a foreign country he believed himself justified in returning to France and taking up his residence on his family estate unfortunately on his way through Leon the Provost of merchants hearing of his return had him arrested and sent word to the king who ordered him to be taken to the Chateau de after a Year's imprisonment dager who had just entered on his 35th year resolved to try and Escape preferring to die in the attempt rather than remain a prisoner for life he succeeded in getting possession of a file with which he removed one of the bars of his window and by means of knotting his sheets together he got down taking the loosened bar with him to serve in case of need as a weapon a sentinel who was near cried who goes there but dager stunned him with his bar the cry however had given the alarm a second Sentinel saw a Man flying fired at him and killed him on the spot such was the reward of the devoted patriotism of Baron dager meantime Roland's troops had increased greatly in number having been joined by the main body of those who had once been commanded by cavaliere so that he had about 800 men at his disposal some distance away another Chief named joani had 400 L Rosa to whom Castanet had transferred his command found himself at the head of 300 B zo de rosaura was followed by 100 salet De suel by 200 Louie Costa by 50 and katat by 40 so that in spite of the victory of Mont tral and the negotiations of mord De V the commissar still formed an effective force of 1890 men not to speak of many single Troopers who owned no Commander but acted each for himself and were nonetheless mischievous for that all these troops except these latter obey Roland who since the defection of cavalier had been recognized as general isimo of the forces M dear thought if he could separate Roland from his troops as he had separated Cavalier his plans would be more easy to carry out so he made use of every means within his reach to gain over Roland and as soon as one plan failed he tried another at one moment he was almost sure of obtaining his object by the help of a certain Jordan Dean a great friend of his who offered his Services as an intermediary but who failed like all the others receiving from Roland a positive refusal so that it became evident that Resort must be had to other means than those of persuasion a sum of 100 Louie had already been sent on Roland's head this sum was now doubled 3 days afterwards a young man from usza by name malara in whom Roland had every confidence wrote to murata that the commissar general intended to pass the night of the 14th of August at the show to Castle now de parat immediately made his dispositions and ordered lacasta B at the head of two companies of drons and all the officers of usza who were well-mounted to hold themselves in Readiness to start on an expedition at 8:00 in the evening but not revealing its object to them till the time came at 8:00 having been told what they had to do they set off at such a pace that they came in sight of the Chateau within an hour and were obliged to Halt and conceal themselves lest they should should appear too soon before Roland had retired for the night but they need not have been afraid the commissar chief who was accustomed to rely on all his men as on himself had gone to bed without any suspicion having full confidence in the vigilance of one of his officers named grimal who had stationed himself as Sentinel on the roof of the Chateau led by malara lost badi and his drons took a narrow covered way which led them to the foot of the walls so that when grimal saw the it was already too late the Chateau being surrounded by all sides firing off his gun he cried to Arms Roland roused by the cry and the shot leaped out of bed and taking his clothes in one hand and his sword in the other ran out of his room at the door he met grimald who instead of thinking of his own safety had come to watch over that of his chief they both ran to the Stables to get horses but three of their men Mand bordal and beo had been before them and had seized on the best ones and riding them barebacked had dashed through the front Gates before the drons could stop them the horses that were left were so wretched that Roland felt there was no chance of outdistancing the drons by their help so we resolved to fly on foot thus avoiding the open roads and being able to take refuge in every Ravine and every Bush as cover he therefore hastened with grimald and four other officers who had gathered around him towards a small black gate which opened on the fields but as there was besides the troops which entered the Chateau a ring of dra WS round it they fell at once into the hands of some men who had been placed in Ambush seeing himself surrounded Roland let fall the clothes which he had not yet had time to put on placed his back against the tree drew his sword and challenged the boldest whether officer or private to approach his features expressed such resolution that when he thus alone and half naked defied them all there was a moment's hesitation during which no one ventured to take a step forward but this pause was broken by the report of a gun the arm which Roland had stretched out against his adversaries fell to his side the sword with which he had threatened them escaped from his hand his knees gave way so that his body which was only supported by the tree against which he leaned after remaining an instant erect gradually sank to the ground collecting all his strength Rand raised his two hands to Heaven as if to call down the vengance of God upon his murderers then without having uttered a single word he fell forward dead shot through the heart the name of the Dron who killed him was subon Mahi grial curo Garin and rasol the five commissar officers seeing their chief dead let themselves be taken as if they were children without thinking of making any resistance the dead body of Roland was carried back in Triumph to usza and from there to nemes where it was put upon trial as if still alive it was sentenced to be dragged on hurdles and then burnt the execution of this sentence was was carried out with such pump as made it impossible for the one party to forget the punishment and for the other to forget the martyrdom at the end the ashes of Roland were scattered to the Four Winds of Heaven the execution of the five officers followed close on that of their Chief's body they were condemned to be broken on the wheel and the sentence was carried out on all at once but their death instead of inspiring the calvinist with Terror gave them rather fresh courage for as an eyewitness relates the five kards bore their tortures not only with fortitude but with a light-heartedness which surprised all present especially those who had never seen a commissar executed before malara received his 200 Louie but today his name is coupled with that of Judas in the minds of his countrymen from this time on Fortune ceased to smile on the kards genius had gone with Cavalier and Faith with Roland the very day of the death of the latter one of their stores containing more than 80 sacks of corn had been taken at TWRA the next day katat who with a dozen men was in hiding in a Vineyard of lavage was surprised by a Detachment of swaz 11 of his men were killed the 12 made prisoner and he himself barely escaped with a severe wound the 25th of the same month a cavern near sa which the rebels used as a store and which contained 150 sacks of fine wheat was discovered lastly Chevalier def fule had found a third hiding place near May in this which had been used not only as a store but as a hospital besides a quantity of salt beef wine and flour six wounded commissars were found who were instantly shot as they lay the only band which remained unbroken was ravenel's but since the departure of cavalier things had not gone well with his lieutenant in consequence of this and also on account of the successive checks which the other bodies of commissar troops had met with Ravenel proclaimed a solemn fast in order to intercede with God to protect the hugenot cause on Saturday the 13th September he led his entire force to the wood of St benaz intending to pass the whole of the next day with them there in prayer but treason was Rife two peasants who knew of this plan gave information to mour Lenoir mayor of lam and he sent word to the marishal and mure of savil who were at Anda nothing could have been more welcome to the governor than this important information he made the most careful disposition of his forces hoping to destroy the Rebellion at one blow he ordered mure de cortan a brigadier colonel in command at Al to take a Detachment of the troops under him and Patrol the banks of the Gardon between n and castol he was of opinion that if the commissars were attacked on the other side by a body of soldiers drawn from Anda which he had stationed during the night at dmer AR they would try to make good their Retreat toward the river the force at dmer G would almost be called a small army for it was composed of a Swiss Battalion a battalion of the henel regiment one of the cherole regiment and four companies of drons from fimaron and St s everything took place as The Peasants had said on Saturday the 13th the commissars entered as we have seen the wood of St benaz and passed the night there at break of day the Royals from doers AR began their Advance The commissar Outpost soon perceived the movement and warned Ravenel who held his little Council of War everyone was in favor of instant Retreat so they retired toward nir intending to cross the Gardon below that town just as mour dear had foreseen the commissars did everything necessary for the success of his plans and ended by walking right into the Trap set for them on emerging from the wood of St benose they caught sight of a Detachment of Royals drawn up and waiting for them between marvol and aill called the Mulan dupon seeing the rows closed in this direction they turned sharp to the left and gained a Rocky Valley which ran parallel to the Gardon this they followed till they came out below marol where they crossed the river they now thought themselves out of danger thanks to this maneuver but suddenly they saw another Detachment of Royals lying on the grass near the mill of lasi they at once halted again and then believing themselves undiscovered turned back moving as noiselessly as possible intending to recross the river inake for card but they only avoided one trap to fall into another for in this direction they were met by the heal Battalion which swooped down upon them a few of these ill-fated men rallied at the sound of ravenel's voice and made an effort to defend themselves in spite of the prevailing confusion but the danger was so imminent the foes so numerous and their numbers decreased so rapidly under the fierce assault that their example failed of effect and flight became General every man trusted a chance for guidance and caring nothing for the safety of others thought only of his own then it ceased to be a battle and became a massacre for the Royals were 10 to one and among those they encountered only 60 had Firearms the rest since the discovery of their various magazines having been reduced to arm themselves with bad swords pitchforks and bayonets attached to Sticks hardly a man survived the fry Ravenel himself only succeeded in escaping by throwing himself into the river where he remained underwater between two rocks for seven hours only coming to the surface to breathe when night fell and the drons had retired he also fled this was the last battle of the war which had lasted four years with Cavalier and Roland those two mountain Giants the power of the rebels disappeared as the news of the defeat spread the commissar Chiefs and soldiers becoming convinced that the Lord had hidden his face from them surrendered one by one the the first to set an example was castan on September 6th a week after the defeat of Ravenel he surrendered to the maral on the 19th katat and his Lieutenant francoa suara tendered their submission on the 22nd a Roland's brother came in on October 4th joani on the 9th laros valette Salamon laf for mulier Sal Abraham and Marion on the 20th fidela and on the 25th rosaura each made what terms he could in general the conditions were favorable most of those who submitted received rewards of money some more some less the smallest amount given being 200 liver they all received passports and were ordered to leave the kingdom being sent accompanied by an escort and at the king's expense to Geneva the following is the account given by Marion of the agreement he came to with the Marquee Lolanda probably all the others were of the same nature I was deputed he said says to treat with this Lieutenant General in regard to the surrender of my own troops and those of lose and to arrange terms for the inhabitants of 35 parishes who had contributed to our support during the war the result of the negotiations was that all the prisoners from our cantons should be set at Liberty and be reinstated in their possessions along with all the others the inhabitants of those parishes which had been ravaged by fire were to be exempt from land tax for 3 years and in no Parish were the inhabitants to be taunted with the past nor molested on the subject of religion but were to be free to worship God in their own houses according to their consciences these agreements were fulfilled with such punctuality that L Roa was permitted to open the prison doors of St hippo to 40 Prisoners the very day he made submission as we have said the commissars according as they came in were sent off to Geneva dagers whose fate we have anticipated arrived there on September 23rd accompanied by a Cavalier's eldest brother Malak rolan's secretary and 36 commissars katat and castan arrived there on the 8th October along with 22 other persons while lose laf for Salamon mulier Sal Marion and Fidel reached it under the escort of 40 drons from fimaron in the month of November of all the Chiefs who had turned langued do for 4 years into a vast Arena only Ravenel remained but he refused either to surrender or to leave the country on the 8th October the maral issued an order declaring he had forfeited all right to the favor of an amnesty and offering a reward of50 Louie to whoever delivered him up living and 2400 liver to whoever brought in his dead body while any Hamlet Village or town which gave him Refuge would be burnt to the ground and the inhabitants put to the sword the Revolt seemed to be at an end and peace established so the maral was recalled the court and left nemes on January the 6th before his departure he received the states of languedoc who bestowed on him not only the praise which was his due for having tempered severity with Mercy but also a purse of 12,000 liver while a sum of 8,000 liver was presented to his wife but all this was only a Prelude to the favors awaiting him at court on the day he returned to Paris the king decorated him with all the Royal orders and created him a Duke on the following day he received him and thus addressed him sir your past Services lead me to expect much of those you will render me in the future the Affairs of my kingdom would be better conducted if I had several V at my disposal having only one I must always send him where he is most needed it was for that reason I sent you to languedoc you have while there restored Tranquility to my subjects you must now defend them against their enemies for I shall send you to command my Army on the Mosel in the next campaign the Duke of barck arrived at Mont pelier on the 17th march to replace marishal V his first care was to learn from mure De bavil the exact State of Affairs Mon de told him that they were not at all settled as they appeared to be on the surface in fact England and Holland Desiring nothing so much as that an intestine War should waste France were making unceasing efforts to induce the Exiles to return home promising that this time they would really support them by lending arms ammunition and men and it was said that some were already on on their way back among the number castan and indeed the late Rebel Chief tired of in action had left Geneva in the end of February and arrived safely at Viv he had held a religious meeting in a cave near lore and had drawn to his side vet of Val and Boer of valon just as the three had determined to penetrate into the Sven they were denounced by some peasants before a Swiss officer named Müller who was in command of a Detachment of troops in the village of Rivier Müller instantly mounted his horse and guided by the informers made his way into the little wood in which the commissars had taken refuge and fell upon them quite unexpectedly Boer was killed and trying to escape castan was taken and brought to the nearest prison where he was joined the next day by valet who had also been betrayed by some peasants whom he had asked for assistance the first punishment inflicted on castan was that he was compelled to carry in his hand the head of Boer all the way from Lor to Mont he protested vehemently at first but in vain it was fastened to his wrist by the hair whereupon he kissed it on both cheeks and went through the ordeal as if it were a religious act addressing words of prayer to the head as he might have done to a relic of a martyr arrived at mon pelier castan was examined and at first persisted in saying that he had only returned from Exile because he had not the wherewithal to live abroad but when put to the torture he was made to endure such agony that despite his courage and constancy he confessed that he had formed a plan to introduce a band of hugenot soldiers with their officers into the S by way of dine or by water and while waiting for their arrival he had sent on emissaries in advance to Rous the people to revolt that he himself had also shared in this work that konat was at the moment in langued or Viv engaged in the same task and provided with a considerable sum of money sent him by Foreigners for distribution that's several persons of still greater importance would soon cross the frontier and join him castan was condemned to be broken on the wheel as he was about to be led to execution AB troni The Cure of notredam and Abbe PL Canon of the cathedral came to his cell to make a last effort to convert him but he refused to speak they therefore went on before and awaited him on the scaffold there they appeared to inspire castan with more horror than the instruments of torture and while he addressed the Executioner as a brother he called out to the priests go away out of my sight imps from the bottomless pit what are you doing here you accursed tempters I will die in the religion in which I was born leave me alone ye Hypocrites leave me alone but the two abies were unmoved and castan expired cursing not the Executioner but the two priests whose presence during his death Agony Disturbed his soul turning it away from things which should have filled it Veta was sentenced to be hanged and was executed on the same day as castan end of chapter 5 Section 1 chapter 5 Section two in spite of the admissions rung from castan in March nearly a month passed without any sign of fresh intrigues or any attempt at Rebellion but on the 17th of April about 7:00 in the evening mour de bavil received intelligence that several kamis sards had lately returned from abroad and were in hiding somewhere though their retreat was not known this information was laid before the Duke of burck and he and mure de bavil ordered certain houses to be searched whose owners were in their opinion likely to have given Refuge to the Mal contents at midnight all the forces which they could collect were divided into 12 detachments composed of archers and soldiers and at the head of each Detachment was placed a MK that could be depended upon Dain the king's Lieutenant assigned to each the districts they were to search and they all set out at once from the town hall at half 12 marching in silence and separating at signs from their leaders so anxious were they to make no noise at first all their efforts were of no avail several houses being searched without any result but at length joson the diin priest having entered one of the houses which he and Villa captain of the Town troops had had had a sign to them they found three men sleeping on mattresses laid on the floor the provos roused them by asking them who they were whence they came and what they were doing at Mont pelier and as they still half asleep did not reply quite promptly he ordered them to dress and follow him these three men were Fier gard and John Louie Fier was a deserter from the fimaron regiment he it was who knew most about the plot Gard had formerly served in the hanal regiment and Jean Louie commonly called the genevois was a deserter from the cortan regiment Fier who was the leader felt that it would be a great disgrace to let themselves be taken without resistance he therefore pretended to obey but in lifting up his clothes which lay upon a trunk he managed to secure two pistols which he cocked at the noise made by the Hammers the Provost suspicions were aroused and throwing himself on Fier he seized him around the waist from behind Fier unable to turn raised his arm and fired over his shoulder the shot missed the provos merely burning a lock of his hair but slightly wounded one of his servants who was carrying a lantern he then tried to fire a second shot but yoser seizing him by the wrist with one hand blew out his brains with the other while jerand and Fier were thus struggling Gard threw himself on Villa pinning his arms to his sides as he had no weapons he tried to push him to the wall in order to stun him by knocking his against it but when the servant being wounded let the lantern fall he took advantage of the darkness to make a dash for the door Letting Go his hold of his antagonist unfortunately for him the doors of which there were two were guarded and the guards seeing a half naked man running away at the top of his speed ran after him firing several shots he received a wound which though not dangerous impeded his flight so that he was soon overtaken and captured they brought him back a prisoner to the town hall where feser's dead body already lay meanwhile Jean Louie had had better luck while the two struggles as related above were going on he slipped unnoticed to an open window and got out into the street he ran round the corner of the house and disappeared like a shadow in the darkness before the eyes of the guards for a long time he wandered from Street to Street running down one and up another till chance brought him near La p on a here he perceived a beggar propped up against a post and fast asleep he awoke him and proposed that they should exchange clothes as John Lise suit was new and the beggars in rags the latter thought at first it was a joke soon perceiving however that the offer was made in all seriousness he agreed to The Exchange and the two separated each delighted with his bargain John Louie approached one of the gates of the town in order to be able to get out as soon as it was opened and the beggar hastened off in another Direction in order to get away from the man who had let him have so good a bargain before he had time to regret the The Exchange he had made but the knight's Adventures were far from being over the beggar was taken a prisoner Jean Lu coat being recognized and brought to the town hall where the mistake was discovered the genevois meantime got into a dark Street and lost his way seeing three men approach one of whom carried a lantern he went towards the light in order to find out where he was and saw to his surprise that one of the men was the servant whom Fier had wounded and who was now going to have his wound dressed the Genoa tried to draw back into the shade but it was too late the servant had recognized him he then tried to fly but the wounded man soon overtook him and although one of his hands was disabled he held him fast with the other so that the two men who were with him ran up and easily secured him he was also brought to the town hall where he found the Duke of burck and mure de bavil who were awaiting the result of the afay hardly had the prisoner caught sight of them then seeing himself already hanged which was no wonder considering the marvelous celarity with which executions were conducted at that epic he threw himself on his knees confessed who he was and related for what reason he had joined the Fanatics he went on to say that as he had not joined them of his own free will but had been forced to do so he would if they would spare his life reveal important secrets to them by means of which they could arrest the principal conspirators his offer was so tempting and his life of so little worth that the Duke and de did not long hesitate but pledged their word to spare his life if the revelations he was about to make proved to be of real importance the bargain being concluded the Geneva made the following statement that several letters having arrived from foreign countries containing Promises of men and money the discontented in the provinces had leagued together in order to provoke a fresh Rebellion by means of these letters and other documents which were scattered abroad hopes were raised that mour de mamal the the last Protestant Prince of the House of bourbon would bring them reinforcements five or 6,000 strong these reinforcements were to come by sea and make a descent on ort or set and 2,000 hugenots were to arrive at the same time by way of dine and join the others as they disembarked that in this hope katat Clary and Jean K had left Geneva and returned to France and having rejoined Ravenel had gone secretly through those parts of the country known to be infected with fanaticism and made all necessary arrangements such as amassing powder and lead Munitions of war and stores of all kinds as well as enrolling the names of all those who were of age to bear arms furthermore they had made an estimate of what each City town and Village ought to contribute in money or in kind to the league of the children of God so that they could count on having 8 or 10,000 men ready to rise at the First Signal they had further furore resolved that there should be risings in several places at the same time which places were already Chosen and each of those who were to take part in the movement knew his exact duty at Mont pelier aund of the most determined amongst the disaffected were to set fire in different quarters to the houses of the Catholics killing all who attempted to extinguish the fires and with the help of the hugenot inhabitants were to slaughter The Garrison Seize The Citadel and carry off the Duke of barck and mure debil the same things were to be done at nemes usza Al Anda St hippo and somier lastly he said this conspiracy had been going on for more than 3 months and the conspirators in order not to be found out had only revealed their plans to Those whom they knew to be ready to join them they had not admitted a single woman to their confidence or any man whom it was possible to suspect further they had only met at night and a few persons at a time in sech certain country houses to which admittance was gained by means of a counter sign the 25th of April was the day fixed for the general rising and the execution of these projects as may be seen the danger was imminent as there was only 6 days interval between the Revelation and the expected Outburst so the genevois was consulted under renewed Promises of safety for himself as to the best means of seizing on the principal Chiefs in the shortest possible time he replied that he saw no other way but to accompany them himself to nemes where katat and Ravenel were hiding in a house of which he did not know the number and in a street of which he did not know the name but which he was sure of recognizing when he saw them if this advice were to be of any Avail there was no time to be lost for Ravenel and katat were to leave nemes on the 20th or the 21st at the latest consequently if they did not set off at once the Chiefs would no longer be there when they arrived the the advice seemed good so the maral and the intend hastened to follow it the Informer was sent to nemes guarded by six archers the conduct of the expedition was given to barer the Provost Lieutenant a man of intellect and Common Sense and in whom the Provost had full confidence he carried letters for the Marquee of Sandra cor as they arrived late on the evening of the 19th the genevois was at once led up and down the streets of nemes and as he had promised he pointed out several houses in the district of St eugeni sandri court at once ordered the Garrison officers as well as those of the municipal and cortan regiments to put all their soldiers underarms and to station them quietly throughout the town as to surround that District at 10:00 the Marquee of Sandra core having made certain that his instructions had been carefully carried out gave orders to mour De Estrada barer Yosef Martin yusbi and the major of the Swiss regiment and several other officers along with 10 picked men to repair to the house of one Alison a silk Merchant this house having been specially pointed out by the prisoner this they did but seeing the door open they had little hope of finding the chiefs of a conspiracy in a place so badly guarded nevertheless determined to obey their instructions they glided softly into the Hall in a few moments during which silence and darkness rained they heard people speaking rather loudly in an adjoining room and by listening intently they caught the following words it is quite sure that in less than 3 weeks the king will be no longer master of dine Viv and langued I am being sought for everywhere and here I am in nemes with nothing to fear it was now quite clear to the listeners that close at hand were some at least of those for whom they were looking they ran to the door which was a jar and entered the room sword in hand they found Ravenel Jean and Villa talking together one sitting on a table another standing on the Hearth and the third Ling in a bed Jan was a young man from St Chata highly thought of among the commissars he had been it may remembered one of Cavalier's principal officers vah was the son of a doctor in St hippo he was still young though he had seen 10 years service having been Cor in England and the Galloway regiment as to ravanel he is sufficiently known to our readers to make words of introduction unnecessary D Estrada threw himself on the nearest of the three and without using his sword struck him with his fist Ravenel for it was he being half stunned fell back a step and asked the reason of this violent assault while barer exclaimed hold him fast mure de Estrada it is Ravenel well yes I am Ravenel said the commissar but that is no reason for making so much noise as he said these words he made an attempt to reach his weapons but but the Estrada and barer prevented him by throwing themselves on him and succeeded in knocking him down after a fierce struggle while this was going on his two companions were secured and the three were removed to the Fort where their guard never left them night or day the Marquee of Sandra cor immediately sent off a courier to the Duke of burck and moner de bavil to inform them of the important capture he had made they were so delighted at the news that they came next day to nemes they found the town intensely excited Soldiers with fixed bayonets at every street corner all the houses shut up and the gates of the Town closed and no one allowed to leave without written permission from Sandra core on the 20th and during the following night more than 50 persons were arrested amongst whom were Alis the merchant in whose house Ravenel vah and Jean K were found Del C Alison's brother-in-law who on hearing the noise of the struggle had hidden on the roof and was not discovered till the next day Jean La who was accused of having prepared ravenel's supper LA's mother a widow Terell the maid servant the host of The Coup door and a preacher named loness great however as was the joy felt by the Duke the Marquee and the bavil it fell short of full Perfection for the most dangerous man among the rebels was still at large in spite of every effort katan's Hiding Place had not till now been discovered accordingly the Duke issued a proclamation offering a reward of 100 louidor to whoever could take katat or caused him to be taken prisoner and granting a free pardon to anyone who had sheltered him provided that he was denounced before the house-to house visitation which was about to be made took place after the search began the Master of the House in which he might be found would be hung at his own door his family thrown into prison his Goods confiscated his house raised to the ground when without any form of trial whatever this Proclamation had the effect expected by the Duke whether the man in whose house katut was concealed grew frightened and asked him to leave or whether katut thought his best course would be to try and get away from the town instead of remaining shut up in it he dressed himself one morning in suitable clothes and went to a Barbers who shaved him cut his hair and made his face so as to give him as much the appearance of a nobleman as possible and then with wonderful Assurance he went out into the streets and pulling his hat over his eyes and holding a paper in his hand as if reading it he crossed the town to the gate of St Antoine he was almost through and Cho the captain of the Guard having his attention directed to katat by a comrade to whom he was talking stopped him suspecting he was trying to escape katat asked what he wanted with him and Sho replied that if he would enter the guardhouse he would learn as under such circumstances any examination was to be avoided katat tried to force his way out whereupon he was seized by Shero and his brother officer and katat seeing that resistance would be not only useless but harmful allowed himself to be taken to the guard room he had been there about an hour without being recognized by any of those who drawn by curiosity came to look at him when one of the visitors in going out said he bore a strong resemblance to Katan some children hearing these words began to shout katat is taken katat is taken this cry drew a l L crowd to the guard house among others a man whose name was angas who looking closely at the prisoner recognized him and called him by name instantly the guard was doubled and katut searched a pong book with a silver clasp and a letter addressed to M Morel called Katan were found on him leaving no doubt as to his identity while he himself growing impatient and Desiring to end all these investigations acknowledged that he was katat and no other he was was at once taken to the Palace where the presidial court was sitting mour de bavil and the president being occupied in trying Ravenel Villa and Jean on hearing the news of this important capture the intendant hardly daring to believe his ears Rose and went out to meet the prisoner in order to convince himself that it was really Katan from the presidial court he was brought before the Duke of Burwick who addressed several questions to him which konut answered he then told the Duke he had something of importance to impart to him and to him alone the Duke was not very anxious for a tetatet with katat however having ordered his hands to be securely Bound in telling Sandra cor not to go away he consented to hear what the prisoner had to say katat then in the presence of the Duke and Sandra Court proposed that an exchange of prisoners should be made the mamelle de who was a prisoner of war in England being accepted in his place konat added that if this offer was was not accepted the marishal would meet the same treatment from the English as might be meeted out to him katat in France the Duke full of the aristocratic ideas to which he was born found the proposal insolent and said if that is all you have to propose I can assure you that your hours are numbered thereupon katut was promptly sent back to the Palace where truly his trial did not occupy much time that of the three others was already finished and soon his was also an end and it only remained to pronounce sentence on all four katat and Ravenel as the most guilty were condemned to be burnt at the stake some of the councilors thought konat should have been torn apart by four horses but the majority were for the stake the agony lasting longer being more violent and more Exquisite than in the other case vaa and Jean were sentenced to be broken on the wheel alive the only difference between them being that Jean was to be taken while still living and thrown into the the fire lit round katat and Ravenel it was also ordered that the four condemned men before their execution should be put to the torture ordinary and extraordinary katat whose temper was fierce suffered with courage but cursed his torturers Ravenel bore all the torments that could be inflicted on him with a fortitude that was more than human so that the torturers were exhausted before he was Jean spoke little and the revelations he made were of slight importance vah confessed that the conspirators had the intention of carrying off the Duke and mure de bavil when they were out walking or driving and he added that this plot had been hatched at the house of a certain Bon to St Laurent dadra and Milad in ruer meanwhile all this torturing and questioning had taken so much time that when the stake and the scaffold were ready it was almost dark so that the Duke put off the executions until the next day instead of carrying them out by torch light BR says that this was done in order that the most disaffected amongst the Fanatics should not be able to say that it was not really konut Ravenel vah and Jan who had been executed but some other unknown men but it is more probable that the Duke and bavil were afraid of riots as was proved by their ordering the scaffold and the stake to be erected at the end of the core and opposite the glass of the Fortress so that the Garrison might be at hand in case of any disturbance katat was placed in a sell apart and could be heard cursing and complaining all night through Ravenel Villa and Jean were confined together and passed the night singing and praying the next day the 22nd April 1705 they were taken from the prison and drawn to the place of execution in two carts being unable to walk on account of the severe torture to which they had been subjected and which had crushed the bones of their legs a single pile of wood had been prepared for katat and Ravenel who were to be burn burnt together they were in one cart and vah and Jan for whom two wheels had been prepared were in the other the first operation was to bind katat and Ravenel back to back to the same stake care being taken to place katat with his face to Windward so that his Agony might last longer and then the pile was lit under ravanel as had been foreseen this precaution gave great pleasure to those people who took Delight in witnessing executions the wind being rather High blew the Flames away from katat so that at first the fire burnt his legs only a circumstance which the author of the history of the kards tells us aroused katan's impatience Ravenel however bore everything to the end with the greatest heroism only pausing in his singing to address words of encouragement to His companion in suffering whom he could not see but whose groans and curses he could hear he would then return to his Psalms which he continued to sing until his voice was stifled in the flames just as he expired Jean was removed from the wheel and carried his broken limbs dangling to the burning pile on which he was thrown from the midst of the Flames his voice was heard crying courage katat we shall soon Meet in Heaven a few moments later the stake being burnt through at the base broke and katat falling into the Flames was quickly suffocated that this accident had not been foreseen and prevented by proper precautions caused Great displeasure to spectators who found that the 3/4 of an hour which the spectacle had lasted was much too brief a Time vah lived 3 hours longer on his wheel and expired without having uttered a single complaint two days later there was another trial at which six persons were condemned to death and one to the giys these were the two alisons in whose house vah Ravenel and Jean had been found algra who was accused of having concealed konop and of having been the commissar treasurer Ruger an armorer who was found guilty of having repaired the muskets of the rebels Jean La an inkeeper who had prepared meals for Ravenel La Junes a preacher convicted of having preached sermons and sung Psalms and young deac C brother-in-law to one of the alisons the first three were condemned to be broken on the wheel their houses demolished and their goods confiscated the next three were to be hanged Jean deacro partly because of his youth but more because of the revelations he made was only sent to the galys several years later he was liberated and returned to AR and was carried off by the plague in 1720 all these sentences were carried out with the utmost rigor thus as may be seen the suppression of the Revolt preceded a pace only two young commissar chiefs were still at large both of whom had formerly served under Cavalier and katat the name of the one was Brun and of the other Fran although neither of them possessed the genius in fluence of katat and Ravenel yet they were both men to be feared the one on account of his personal strength the other for his skill and Agility indeed it was said of him that he never missed a shot and that one day being pursued by drons he had escaped by jumping over the Gardon at a spot where it was 22 ft wide for a long time all search was in vain but one day the wife of a Miller named seonil came into town ostensibly to buy Provisions but really to denounce them as being concealed with two other commissars in her husband's house this information was received with an eager gratitude which showed the importance which the governor of nemes attached to their capture the woman was promised a reward of 50 Louie if they were taken and the Chevalier de laala grandier and 50 Swiss the major of the sa San regiment a captain and 30 drons were sent off to make the capture when they were within a quarter of a league of the mill lavala who was in command of the Expedition made the woman give him all the necessary topographical information Having learned that besides the door by which they hoped to affect an entrance the mill possessed only one other which opened on a bridge over the vistra he dispatched 10 drons and five Swiss to occupy this bridge whilst he and the rest of the troops bore down on the main entrance as soon as the four commissars perceived the approach of the soldiers their first thought was to escape by the bridge but one of them having gone up to the roof to make sure that the way was clear came down exclaiming that the bridge was occupied on hearing this the four felt that they were lost but nevertheless resolved to defend themselves as valiantly and to sell their lives as dearly as possible as soon as the Royals were within musket range of the mill four shots were fired and two drons one Swiss and one horse fell while sh deah thereupon ordered the troops to charge at full Gallop but before the mill door was reached three other shots were heard and two more men killed nevertheless seeing the they could not long hold out against such numbers Fran gave this signal for retreat calling out S at the same instant he jumped out of a lattice window 20 ft from the ground followed by Brun neither of them being hurt both set off across country one trusting to his strength and the other to his fleetness of foot the two other kamis sads who had tried to escape by the door were captured the soldiers horse and foot being now free to give all their attention to Brun and Fran a wonderful race began for the two fugitives being strong and active seemed to play with their pursuers stopping every now and then when they had gained sufficient Headway to shoot at the nearest soldiers when Fran proving worthy of his reputation never missed a single shot then resuming their flight and loading their weapons as they ran they leaped rivers and ditches taking advantage of the Less Direct road which the troops were obliged to follow to stop and take breath instead of making for some cover where they might have found safety two or three times Brun was on the point of being caught but each time the draon or swiss who had got up to him fell struck by franz's uniring Bullet the chase lasted 4 hours during which time five officers 30 drons and 50 Swiss were baffled by two men one of whom Franz was almost a boy being only 20 years old then the two kards having exhausted their ammunition gave each other the name of a village as a rendevu and each taking a different direction bound it away with the lightness of a stag Frank a ran in the direction of milal with such rapidity that he gained on the drons although they put their horses at full speed he was within an inch of safety when a peasant named laasd who was hoing in a field whence he had watched the contest with interest from the moment he had first caught sight of it seeing the fugitive make for an opening in the wall ran along at the foot of the wall on the the other side and just as Frank a dashed through the opening like a flash of lightning struck him such a heavy blow on the head with his hoe that the skull was laid open and he fell bathed in blood the drons who had seen in the distance what had happened now came up and rescued Fran from the hands of his ass salant who had continued to rain blows upon Him Desiring to put an end to him the unconscious kard was carried to Milan where his wounds were bandaged and himself revived by means of strong Spirits forced into mouth and nostrils we now return to Brun at first it seemed as if he were more fortunate than his comrade for meeting with no obstacle he was soon not only Out Of Reach but out of sight of his enemies he now however felt broken by fatigue and taught caution by the treachery to which he had almost fallen a victim he dared not ask for an asylum so throwing himself down in a ditch he was soon fast asleep the drons who had not not given up the search presently Came Upon him and falling on him as he lay overpowered him before he was well awake when both kards met before the governor Fran replied to all interrogations that since the death of brother katat his sole desire had been to die a martyr's death like him while Brun said that he was proud and happy to die in the cause of the Lord along with such a brave comrade as Frank a this manner of Defense led to the application of the question both ordinary and extraordinary and to the stake and our readers already know what such a double sentence meant Fran a and Brun paid both penalties on the 30th of April betraying no secrets and uttering no complaints Bon who had been denounced by Villa when under torture and who thereby Abridged his Agony as the person in whose house the plot to carry off the Duke of burck and deil had been arranged still remained to be dealt with he was moderate in his religious views but firm and full of Faith his principles resembled those of the Quakers in that he refused to carry arms he was however willing to Aid the good cause by all other means within his reach he was at home waiting with that calm which perfect trust in God gives for the day to come which had been appointed for the execution of the plan when suddenly his house was surrounded during the night by the Royals faithful to his principles he offered no resistance but held out his hands to be bound he was taken in Triumph to EMES and from there to the Citadel of Mont pelier on the way he encountered his wife and his son who were going to the latter town to intercede for him when they met him they dismounted from their horse for the mother was riding on a Pion behind the Sun and kneeling on the high road asked for boton's blessing unfeeling though the soldiers were they yet permitted their prisoner to stop an instant while he raising his fettered hands to Heaven gave the double blessing asked for so touch tched was Baron sa shata by the scene be it remarked in passing that the baron and Boton were cousins by marriage that he permitted them to embrace one another so for a few moments they stood the husband and father clasped to the hearts of his dear ones then on a sign from ban they tore themselves away Buton commanding them to pray for mure to St shata who had given them this consolation as he resumed his March the prisoners set them the example by beginning to sing a psalm for the benefit of to St Chata the next day despite the intercession of his wife and son batan was condemned to torture both ordinary and extraordinary and then to be broken on the wheel on hearing this cruel sentence he said that he was ready to suffer every ill that God might send him in order to prove the steadfastness of his faith and indeed he endured his torture with such firmness that Mon de bavil who was present in the hope of obtaining a confession became more impatient than the sufferer and forgetting his sacred office the judge struck struck and insulted The Prisoner upon this vaton raised his eyes to heaven and cried Lord Lord how long shall the wicked Triumph how long shall innocent blood be shed how long wil thou not judge and avenge our blood with cries to thee remember thy jealousy oh Lord and thy loving kindness of old then moner de bavil withdrew giving orders that he was to be brought to the scaffold the scaffold was erected on the esplanada being as was usual when this sort of death was to be inflicted a wooden platform 5 or 6 ft high on which was fastened flat a St Andrews cross formed of two beams of wood in the form of an X in each of the four arms two square pieces were cut out to about half the depth of the beam and about a foot apart so that when the victim was bound on the cross the outstretched limbs were easy to break by a blow at these points having no support beneath lastly near The Cross at one corner of the scaffold an upright wooden post was fixed fixed on which was fastened horizontally a small carriage wheel as on a pivot the projecting part of the Nave being saw off to make it flat on this bed of pain the sufferer was laid so that the spectators might enjoy the sight of his dying convulsions when the Executioner having accomplished his part the turn of death arrived Bon was carried to execution in a cart and drums were beaten that his exhortations might not be heard but above the RO of drums his voice Rose unfalteringly as he admonished his Brethren to uphold their Fellowship in Christ halfway to the esplanada A Friend Of The Condemned man who happened to be in the street met the procession and fearing that he could not support the sight he took refuge in a shop when Bon was opposite the door he stopped the card and asked permission of the Provost to speak to his friend the request being granted he called him out and as he approached bathed in tears but said why do you run away from me is it because you see me covered with the tokens of Jesus Christ why do You Weep because he has graciously called me to himself and all unworthy though I be permits me to seal my faith with my blood then as the friend threw himself into Bon's arms and some signs of sympathetic emotion appeared among the crowd the procession was abruptly ordered to move on but though the leaking was thus roughly broken short no murmur passed the lips of baton in turning out of the First Street the scaffold came in sight The Condemned man raised his hands towards heaven and exclaimed in a cheerful voice while a smile lit up his face courage my soul I see thy place of Triumph whence released from Earthly bonds Thou shalt take flight to heaven when he got to the foot of the scaffold it was found he could not Mount without assistance for his limbs crushed in the terrible boot could no longer sustain his weight while they were preparing to carry him up he exhorted and comforted the Protestants who were all weeping round him when he reached the platform he laid himself of his own accord on the cross but hearing from the Executioner that he must first be undressed he raised himself again with a smile so that The Executioner's assistant could remove his dublet and small clothes as he wore no stockings his legs being bandaged the man also Unwound these bandages and rolled up Bon's shirt sleeves to the elbow and then ordered him to lay himself again on the cross baton did so with unbroken calm all its limbs were then bound to the beams with cords at every joint this accomplished the assistant retired and the Executioner came forward he held in his hand a square bar of iron an inch and a half thick 3 ft long and rounded at one end so as to form a handle when batan saw it he began singing a a Psalm but almost immediately the melody was interrupted by a cry the Executioner had broken a bone of Ban's right leg but the singing was at once resumed and continued without interruption till each limb had been broken in two places then the Executioner Unbound the formless but still living body from the cross and while from its lips issued words of faith in God he laid it on the wheel bending it back on the legs in such a manner that the heels and head met and never once during the completion of this atrocious performance did the voice of the sufferer cease to sound forth the Praises of the Lord no execution till then had ever produced such an effect on the crowd so that AB masila who was present seeing the general emotion hastened to call moner deil's attention to the fact that far from Bon's death inspiring the Protestants with Terror they were only encouraged to hold out as was proved by their tears and the Praises they lavished on the dying man while shab bavil recognizing the truth of this observation ordered that ban should be put out of misery this order being conveyed to the Executioner he approached the wheel to break in Bon's chest with one last blow but an Archer standing on the scaffold threw himself before the sufferer saying that the hugenot had not yet suffered half enough at this batan who had heard the Dreadful dispute going on beside him interrupted his prayers for an instant and raising his head which hung down over the edge of the wheel said friend you think I suffer and in truth I do but he for whom I suffer is beside me and gives me strength to Bear everything joyfully just then mure deil's order was repeated and the Archer no longer daring to interfere allowed the Executioner to approach then baton seeing his last moment had come said my dear friend may my death be an example to you to incite you to preserve the gospel pure be faithful testimony that I died in the religion of Christ and His Holy Apostles hardly had these words passed his lips than the death blow was given and his chest crushed a few inarticulate sounds apparently prayers were heard the head fell back the martyrdom was ended this execution ended the war in languedoc a few imprudent preachers still delivered belated sermons to the rebels listened trembling with fear and for which the preachers paid on the wheel or jibbit there were disturbances in Vives aroused by Danielle blard during which a few Catholics were found murdered on the highway there were a few fights as for instance at St Pier Ville where the commissars faithful to the old traditions which had come to them from Cavalier Katana and Ravenel fought 1 to 20 but they were all without importance they were only the last quivering of the dying civil strife the last shuttering of the Earth when the eruption of the volcano is over even cavaliere understood that the end had come for he left Holland for England there Queen Anne distinguished him by a cordial welcome she invited him to enter her service an offer which he accepted and he was placed in command of a regiment of refugees so that he actually received in England the grade of Colonel which he had been offered in France at the Battle of almanza the regiment commanded by Cavalier found itself opposed by a French regiment the old enemies recognized each other and with a howl of Rage without waiting for the word of command or executing any military Evolutions they hurled themselves at each other with such Fury that if we may believe the Duke of baric who was present they almost annihilated each other in the conflict cavaliere however survived the slaughter in which he had performed his part with energy and for his courage was made General and governor of the island of Jersey he died at Chelsea in May 17 1840 age 60 years I must confess says malerba that this soldier who without training became a great General by means of his natural gifts this kamis sard who dared in the face of fierce Troopers to punish a crime similar to those by which the Troopers existed this rude peasant who admitted into the best Society adopted its manners and gained its esteem and love this man who though accustomed to an adventurous life and who might justly have been puffed up by success and yet enough philosophy to lead for 35 years a tranquil private existence appears to me to be one of the rarest characters to be met with in the pages of History end of chapter 5 Section 2 chapter 6 at length Louis the 14th bowed beneath the weight of a reign of 60 years was summoned in his his turn to appear before God from whom as some said he looked for reward and others for pardon when nemes that city with the heart of fire was quiet like the wounded who have lost the best part of their blood she thought only with the egotism of a convalescent of being left in peace to regain the strength which had become exhausted through the terrible wounds which montravel and the Duke of bewick had dealt her for 60 years Petty ambition had taken the place of sublime self-sacrifice and disputes about etiquette succeeded mortal combats then the philosophic era dawned and the sarcasms of the encyclopedist withered the monarchical intolerance of Louis the 14th and Charles I 9th thereupon the Protestants resumed their preaching baptized their children and buried their dead Commerce flourished once more and the two religions live side by side one concealing under a peaceful exterior the memory of its Martyrs the other the memory of its Triumph such was the mood on which the Blood Red Orb of the son of 89 Rose the Protestants greeted it with cries of joy and indeed the promised Liberty gave them back their country their civil rights and the status of French citizens nevertheless whatever were the hopes of one party or the fears of the other nothing had as yet occurred to disturb the prevailing Tranquility when on the 19th and 20th of July 1789 a body of troops was formed in the capital of lagard which was to Bear the name of the nemes militia the resolution Which authorized this Act was passed by the citizens of the three orders sitting in the Hall of the palace it was as follows article 10 the nemes legion shall consist of a colonel a lieutenant colonel a major a lieutenant major and adjudant 24 captains 24 lieutenants 72 sergeants 72 corporals and 1152 privates in all 13 49 men forming 80 companies article 11 the place of general assembly shall be the esplanada article 12 the 80 companies shall be attached to the four quarters of the Town mentioned below Visa Place de la Hotel DeVille plus de laon Kare Plus St John and plus the chatau Article 13 the companies as they are formed by the permanent Council shall each choose its own cap lieutenants sergeants and corporals and from the date of his nomination the captain shall have a seat on the permanent Council the nemes militia was deliberately formed upon certain lines which brought Catholics and Protestants closely together as allies with weapons in their hands but they stood over a mine which was bound to explode someday as the slightest friction between the two parties would produce a spark this state of concealed annity lasted for nearly a year being all augmented by political antipathies for the Protestants almost to a man were Republicans and the Catholics royalists in the interval that is to say towards January 1790 a Catholic named Francois frent was entrusted by the mar of FAL with the task of raising organizing and commanding a royalist party in the South thus we learn from one of his own letters to the Marquee which was printed in Paris in 1817 he describes his mode of action in the following words it is not difficult to understand that being faithful to my religion and my king and shocked at the sedici ideas which were disseminated on all sides I should try to inspire others with the same spirit with which I myself was animated so during the year 1789 I published several articles in which I exposed the dangers which threatened Altar and Throne struck with the justice of my criticisms my countrymen displayed the most zealous ardor in their efforts efforts to restore to the king the full exercise of all his rights being anxious to take advantage of this favorable state of feeling and thinking that it would be dangerous to hold communication with the Ministers of Louis the 16th who were watched by the conspirators I went secretly to Turnin to solicit the approbation and support of the French princes there at a consultation which was held just after my arrival I showed them that if they would arm not only the partisans of the throne but those of the Altar and and Advance the interests of religion while advancing the interests of royalty it would be easy to save both my plan had for sole object to bind a party together and give it as far as I was able breath and stability as the revolutionists placed their Chief dependence on Force I felt that they could only be met by force for then as now I was convinced of this great truth that one strong passion can only be overcome by another stronger and that therefore Republic repan fanaticism could only be driven out by religious Zeal the princes being convinced of the correctness of my reasoning and the efficacy of my remedies promised me the Arms and Supplies necessary to stem the tide of faction and the comp dtoa gave me letters of recommendation to the chief Nobles in Upper languedoc that I might concert measures with them for the Nobles in that part of the country had assembled at Tula to deliberate on the best way of inducing in the other orders to unite in restoring to the Catholic religion its useful influence to the laws their power and to the king his Liberty and Authority on my return to languedoc I went from town to town in order to meet those gentlemen to whom the comp darta had written among whom were many of the most influential royalists and some members of the states of parliament having decided on a general plan and agreed on a method of carrying on secret Cor respondence with each other I went to nemes to wait for the assistance which I had been promised from Torin but which I never received while waiting I devoted myself to Awakening and sustaining the Zeal of the inhabitants who had my suggestion on the 20th April passed a resolution which was signed by 5,000 inhabitants this resolution which was at once a religious and political Manifesto was drafted by viala mour Fran's secretary and it lay for Signature in his office many of the Catholics signed it without even reading it for there was a short paragraph prefixed to the document which contained all the information they seemed to desire gentlemen the aspirations of a great number of our Catholic and patriotic fellow citizens are expressed in the resolution which we have the honor of laying before you they felt that under present circumstances such a resolution was necessary and they feel convinced that if you give it your your support as they do not doubt you will knowing your patriotism your religious Zeal and your love for our August Sovereign it will conduce to the happiness of France the maintenance of the True Religion and the rightful authority of the king we are gentlemen with respect your very humble and obedient servants the president and commissioners of the Catholic assembly of nemes signed forment commissioner laier president F president Lalu commissioner favra commissioner Mel commissioner roban commissioner vinia commissioner at the same time a number of pamphlets entitled Pierre Roman to the Catholics of nemes were distributed to the people in the streets containing among other attacks on the Protestants the following passages if the door to high positions and civil and military honors were closed to the Protestants and a powerful tribunal established at nemes to see that this rule were strictly kept you would soon see protestantism disappear the Protestants demand to share all the Privileges which you enjoy but if you grant them this their one thought will then be to dispossess you entirely and they will soon succeed like ungrateful vipers who in a torpid state were harmless they will when warmed by your benefits turn and kill you they are your born enemies your fathers only Escape as by a miracle from their bloodstained hands have you not often heard of the cruelties practiced on them it was a slight thing when the Protestants inflicted death alone unaccompanied by the most horrible tortures such as they were such they are it may easily be imagined that such attacks soon embittered Minds already disposed to find new causes for the old hatred and besides the Catholics did not long confine themselves to resolutions and pamphlets forment who had already got himself appointed receiver general of the chapter and captain of one of the Catholic companies insisted on being present at the installation of the Town Council and brought his company with him armed with pitchforks in spite of the express prohibition of the colonel of the Legion these Forks were terrible weapons and had been fabricated in a particular form for the Catholics of nemes usza and Al but frt and his company paid no attention to the prohibition and this Disobedience made a great impression on the Protestants who began to Divine the hostility of their adversaries and it is very possible that if the New Town Council had not shut their eyes to this act of insubordination Civil War might have burst forth in memes that very day the next day at roll call a sergeant of another company one alen a Cooper by trade taunted one of the men with having carried a pitchfork the day before in Disobedience to orders he replied that the men mayor had permitted him to carry it alen not believing this proposed to some of the men to go with him to the mayor's and ask if it were true when they saw mour Margarita he said that he had permitted nothing of the kind and sent the delinquent to prison half an hour later however he gave orders for his release as soon as he was free he set off to find his comrades and told them what had occurred they considering that an insult to one was an insult to the whole company determined on having satisfaction at once so about 11:00 p.m. they went to the Cooper's house carrying with them a Gallows and ropes ready greased but quietly as they approached alen heard them for his door being bolted from within had to be forced looking out of the window he saw a great crowd and as he suspected that his life was in danger he got out of a back window into the yard and so escaped the militia being thus disappointed wreaked their Vengeance on some passing Protestants whose un lucky stars had led them that way these they knocked about and even stabbed one of them three times with a knife on the 22nd April 1790 the royalists that is to say the Catholics assumed the white cockade although it was no longer the national emblem and on the 1st May some of the militia who had planted a May pole at the mayor's door were invited to lunch with him on the second the company which was on guard at the mayor's official residence shouted several times during the day long live the king up with the cross and down with the black throats this was the name which they had given to the Calvinists three cheers for the white Cade before we are done it will be read with the blood of the Protestants however on the 5th of may they ceased to wear it replacing it by a Scarlet tuft which in their pis they called the red poof which was immediately adopted as the Catholic emblem each day as it passed brought forth fresh brawl s and provocations lials were invented by the kuchan and spread abroad by three of their number meetings were held every day and at last became so numerous that the town authorities called in the aid of the militia drons to disperse them now these gatherings consisted chiefly of those tillers of the soil who are called chabet from a provincial word cab which means onion and they could easily be recognized as Catholics by their red poof which they wore both in and out of uniform on the other hand the drons were all Protestants however these latter were so very gentle in their admonitions that although the two parties found themselves so to speak constantly face to face and armed for several days the meetings were dispersed without Bloodshed but this was exactly what the cetes did not want so they began to insult the drons and turn them into ridicule consequently one morning they gathered together in great numbers mounted on asses and with with drawn swords began to patrol the city at the same time the lower classes who were nearly all Catholics joined the burlesque Patrols in complaining loudly of the drons some saying that their horses had trampled on their children and others that they had frightened their wives the Protestants contradicted them both parties grew angry swords were half drawn when the municipal authorities came on the scene and instead of apprehending the Ring leaders forbade the Dron to patrol the town anymore ordering them in future to do nothing more than send 20 men every day to mount guard at the Episcopal Palace and to undertake no other Duty except at the express request of the Town Council although it was expected that the drons would revolt against such a humiliation they submitted which was a great disappointment to the ketes who had been longing for a chance to indulge in new outrages for all that the Catholics did not consider themselves beaten they felt sure of being being able to find some other way of driving their Quarry to Bay Sunday the 13th of June arrived this day had been selected by the Catholics for a great demonstration towards 10:00 in the morning some companies wearing the red tuft under pretext of going to mass marched through the city armed and uttering threats the few drons on the other hand who were on guard at the palace had not even a sentinel posted and had only five muskets in the guardhouse at 2:00 p.m. there was a meeting held in the jacoban church consisting almost exclusively of militia wearing the red tuft the mayor pronounced a pager on those who wore it and was followed by Pierre frent who explained his mission in much the same words as those quoted above he then ordered a cask of wine to be broached and distributed among the cabetes and told them to walk about the streets in threes and to disarm all the drons whom they might meet away from their post about 6:00 in the evening a red toughed volunteer presented himself at the Gate of the palace and ordered the porter to sweep the courtyard saying that the volunteers were going to get up a ball for the drons after this piece of bravado he went away and in a few moments a note arrived couched in the following terms The Bishop's Porter is warned to let no Dron on horse or on foot enter or leave the palace this evening on pain of death 13th June 1790 this note being brought to the lieutenant he came out and reminded the volunteer that nobody but the town authorities could give orders to the servants at the palace the volunteer gave an insolent answer the lieutenant advised him to go away quietly threatening if he did not to put him out by force this altercation attracted a great many of the red tus from outside while the drons hearing the noise came down into the yard the quarrel became more lively Stones were thrown The Call to Arms was Was Heard and in a few moments about 40 cabetes who were prowling around in the neighborhood of the palace rushed into the yard carrying guns and swords the lieutenant who had only about a dozen drons at his back ordered the bugle to sound to recall those who had gone out the volunteers threw themselves upon the bugler dragged his instrument from his hands and broke it to Pieces then several shots were fired by the militia the drons returned them and a regular battle began the lieutenant soon saw saw that this was no mere Street row but a deliberate Rising planned beforehand and realizing that very serious consequences were likely to ensue he sent a dragon to the town hall by a back way to give notice to the authorities mure to St Paul major of the nees Legion hearing some noise outside opened his window and found the whole city in a tumult people were running in every direction and shouting as they ran that the drons were being killed at the palace the major rushed out into the streets at once gathered together a dozen to 15 patriotic citizens without weapons and hurried to the town hall there he found two officials of the town and begged them to go at once to the pl the laes escorted by the first company which was on guard at the Town Hall they agreed and set off on the way several shots were fired at them but no one was hit when they arrived at the square the cetes fired a volley at them with the same negative result up the three principal streets which led to the Palace numerous ous red toughs were hurrying the first company took possession of the ends of the streets and being fired at returned the fire repulsing the As salance and clearing the square with the loss of one of their men while several of the retreating cabetes were wounded while this struggle was going on at the palace the spirit of murder broke loose in the town at the Gate of meline mure De yar's house was broken into by the red toughs the unfortunate old man came out to meet them and asked what they wanted your life and and the lives of all the other dogs of Protestants was the reply whereupon he was seized and dragged through the streets 15 insurgents hacking at him with their swords at last he managed to escape from their hands but died two days later of the wounds another old man named asuk who was bowed beneath the weight of 72 years and whose white hair covered his shoulders was met as he was on his way to the gate of Karm being recognized as a Protestant he received Five Wounds from some of the famous pitchforks belonging to the company of frent he fell but the Assassins picked him up and throwing him into the moat amused themselves by flinging stones at him till one of them with more Humanity than his fellows put a bullet through his head three electors mour Mador from near Boker mour viala from the Canton of Lal and mure po of the same place were attacked by red toughs on their way home and all three seriously wounded the captain who had been in command of the Detachment on guard at the Electoral assembly was returning to his quarters accompanied by a sergeant and three volunteers of his own company when they were stopped on the peti core by frent commonly called damble who pressing the barrel of a pistol to the captain's breast said stand you rascal and give up your arms at the same time the red toughs seizing the captain from behind by the hair pulled him down forment fired his pistol but missed as he fell the captain drew his sword but it was torn from his hands and he received a cut from F men's sword upon this the captain made a great effort and getting one of his arms free drew a pistol from his pocket drove back his assassins fired at frent and missed him one of the men by his side was wounded and disarmed a patrol of the Regiment of guen attached to which was mour budong a dragon officer was passing the cier M budong was attacked by a band of red toughs and his cask and his musket carried off several shots were fired at him but none of them hit him the patrol surrounded him to save him but as he had received two bayonet wounds he desired revenge and breaking through his protectors darted forward to regain possession of his musket and was killed in a moment one of his fingers was cut off to get at a diamond ring which he wore his pockets were rifled of his purse and watch and his body was thrown into the moat meantime the plast recol the core the plastic K the ground Ru and rud de notam de espanada were filled with men armed with guns pitchforks and swords they had all come from Fran's house which overlooked that part of nemes called Le cier and the entrance to which was on the ramparts near the Dominican Towers the three leaders of the Insurrection frent F and desom took possession of these towers which formed a part of the old castle from this position the Catholics could sweep the entire Quay of Le cier and the steps of the Sal Des spectacula with their guns and if it should turn out that the Insurrection they had excited did not attain the dimensions they expected nor gain such enthusiastic adherence it would be quite feasible for them to defend themselves in such a position until relief came these Arrangements were either the result of long meditation or were the inspiration of some clever strategist the fact is that everything leads one to believe that it was a plan which had been formed with great care for the rapidity with which all the approaches to The Fortress were lined with a double row of militia men all wearing the red tuft the care which was taken to place the most eager next the barracks in which the park of artillery was stationed and lastly the manner in which the approach to the Citadel was barred by an entire company this being the only place where the Patriots could procure arms combined to prove that this plan was the result of much forethought for for while it appeared to be only defensive it enabled the insurrectionists to attack without much danger it caused others to believe that they had been first attacked it was successfully carried out before the citizens were armed and until then only a part of the foot guard and the 12 drons at the palace had offered any resistance to the conspirators the red flag round which in case of Civil War all good citizens were expected to gather and which was kept at the Town Hall and which should have been brought out at the first shot was now loudly called for the Abbey de balmont a cannon a vicer general and Municipal official was persuaded almost forced to become standard Bearer as being the most likely on account of his ecclesiastical position to all Rebels who had taken up arms in the name of religion The Abbey himself gives the following account of the manner in which he fulfilled this mandate about 7:00 in the evening I was engaged with moures portier and Fon in auditing accounts when we heard a noise in the court and going out on the lobby we saw several drons coming upstairs amongst whom was mour per they told us that fighting was going on in the plast de laes because someone or other had brought a note to the porter ordering him to admit no more drons to the palace on pain of death at this point I interrupted their Story by asking why the gates had not been closed and the bearer of the letter arrested but they replied to me that it had not been possible possible thereupon mures fand and pontier put on their scarves and went out a few instants later several drons amongst whom I recognize none but moures Leon DEET Perry Jr and budon accompanied by a great number of the militia entered demanding that the red flag should be brought out they tried to open the door of the council Hall and finding it locked they called upon me for the key I asked that one of the attendants should be sent for but they were all out then I went to the hall Porter to see if he knew where the key was he said moner baring had taken it meanwhile just as the volunteers were about to force an entrance someone ran up with the key the door was opened and the red flag seized and forced into my hands I was then dragged down into the courtyard and from then to the square it was all in vain to tell them that they ought first to get Authority and to represent to them that I was no suitable standard bear on account of my profession but but they would not listen to any objection saying that my life depended upon my obedience and that my profession would overall the disturbers of the public peace so I went on followed by a Detachment of the guen regiment part of the first company of the Legion and several dragons a young man with fixed Bay a kept always at my side rage was depicted on the faces of all those who accompanied me and they indulged in Oaths and threats to which I paid no attention in passing through the rud de gr they complained that I did not carry the red flag high enough nor unfurl it fully when we got to the guard house at the crown gate the guard turned out and the officer was commanded to follow us with his men he replied that he could not do that without a written order from a member of the Town Council thereupon those around me told me I must write such an order but I asked for a pen and ink everybody was Furious because I had none with me so offensive were the remarks indulged in by the volunteers and some soldiers of the Guan regiment and so threatening their gestures that I grew alarmed I was hustled and even received several blows but at length Mon de budon brought me paper and a pen and I wrote I require the troops to assist us to maintain order by force if necessary upon this the officer consented to accompany us we had hardly taken half a dozen steps when they all began to ask what had become of the order I had just written for it could not be found they surrounded me saying that that I had not written it at all and I was on the point of being trampled underfoot when a militia man found it all crumpled up in his pocket the threats grew louder and once more it was because I did not carry the flag high enough everyone insisting that I was quite tall enough to display it to better Advantage however at this point the militia men with the red TS made their appearance a few armed with muskets but the greater number with swords shots were exchanged and the soldiers of the line and the National Guard arranged themselves in Battle Order in a kind of recess and desired me to go forward alone which I refused to do because I should have been between two fires upon this curses threats and blows reached their height I was dragged out before the troops and struck with the butt ends of their muskets and the flat of their swords until I Advanced one blow that I received between the shoulders filled my mouth with blood all this time those of the opposite party were coming nearer and those with whom I was continued to yell at me to go on I went on until I met them I besought them to retire even throwing myself at their feet but all persuasion was in vain they swept me along with them making me enter by the carlite gate where they took the flag from me and allowed me to enter the house of a woman whose name I have never known I was spitting such a quantity of blood that she took pity on me and brought me everything she could think of as likely to do me good and as soon as I was a little revived I asked to be shown the way to m ponthier while Abbe de Belmont was carrying the red flag the militia forced the town councilors to Proclaim Marshall Law this had just been done when word was brought that the first red flag had been carried off so mure Fon deol got out another and followed by a considerable escort took the same road as his colleague AB de balal when he arrived at the cier the red toughs who still adorned the ramparts and Towers began to fire upon the procession and one of the militia was disabled the escort retreated but M faran Advanced alone to the carlite gate like mure de balmont and like him he too was taken prisoner he was brought to the tower where he found frt in a fury declaring that the council had not kept its promise having sent no relief and having delayed to give up the Citadel to him the escort however had only retreated in order to seek help they rushed tumultuously to the barracks and finding the Regiment of guen drawn up in marching order in command of Lieutenant Colonel Bon they asked him to follow them but he refused without a written order from a town counselor upon this an old Corporal shouted brave Soldiers of guen the country is in danger let us not delay to do our duty yes yes cried the soldiers let us March the lieutenant colonel no longer daring to resist gave the word of command and they set off for the esplanada as they came near the rampart with drums beating the the firing ceased but as night was coming on the newcomers did not dare to risk attacking and moreover The Silence of the guns LED them to think that the rebels had given up their Enterprise having remained an hour in the Square the troops returned to their quarters and the Patriots went to pass the night in an enclosure on the Mont pelier Road it almost seemed as if the Catholics were beginning to recognize the futility of their plot for although they had appealed to fanaticism forced the Town Council to do their will scattered so lavishly and made wine flow out of 18 companies only three had joined them 15 companies said mure alier in his report to the National Assembly although they had adopted the red tuft took no part in the struggle and did not add to the number of crimes committed either on that day or during the days that followed but although the Catholics gained few partisans among their fellow citizens they felt certain that people from the country would rally to their aid but about 10:00 in the evening the rebel r ring leaders seeing that no help arrived from that quarter either resolved to apply a stimulus to those without consequently froment wrote The Following letter to mour De banzal under commandant of the province of languedoc who was living at lunel sir up to the present all my demands that the Catholic companies should be put under arms have been of no avail in spite of the order that you gave at my request the officials of the municipality were of opinion that it would be more prudent to delay the distribution of the muskets until after the meeting of the Electoral assembly this day the Protestant drons have attacked and killed several of our unarmed Catholics and you may imagine the confusion and alarm that Prevail in the town as a good citizen and a true patriot I entreat you to send an order to the Regiment of Royal drons to repair at once to nemes to restore tranquility and put down all who break the peace the Town Council does not meet none of them dares to leave his house and if you receive no requisition from them just now it is because they go in Terror of their lives and fear to appear openly two red flags have been carried about the streets and Municipal officers without guards have been obliged to take refuge in patriotic houses although I am only a private citizen I take the liberty of asking for aid from you knowing that the Protestants have sent to laaj and LA gardoni to ask you for reinforcements and the arrival of Fanatics from these districts would expose all good Patriots to slaughter knowing as I do of your kindness and Justice I have full trust that my prayer will receive your favorable attention froment captain of company number 39 June 13th 1790 11:00 p.m. unfortunately for the Catholic party Dupre and lutal to whom his letter was entrusted for delivery and for whom passports were made out as being employed on business connected with the king and and the state were arrested at fad and their despatches laid before the Electoral assembly many other letters of the same kind were also intercepted and the red TS went about the town saying that the Catholics of nemes were being massacred the priest of corbak among others was shown a letter saying that a Capuchin monk had been murdered and that the Catholics were in need of help the agents who brought this letter to him wanted him to put his name to it that they might show it everywhere but they were met by a positive refusal at buar and manduel the toxin was sounded the two Villages joined forces and with weapons in their hands marched along the road from boair to nemes at the bridge of Court the villagers of redon and Margarita joined them thus reinforced they were able to Bar the way to all who passed and subject them to examination if a man could show he was a Catholic he was allowed to proceed but the Protestants were murdered then and there we may remind our readers that the cadets de lacro pursued the same method in 1704 meantime desier frent and F remained masters of the ramparts and the tower and when very early one morning their forces were augmented by the insurgents from The Villages about 200 men they took advantage of their strength to force a way into the house of a certain Tron from which it was easy to affect an entrance to the jacoban monastery and from there to the tower adjoining so that their line now extended from the gate at the bridge of cier to that at the end of College Street from daylight to dusk all the patriots who came within range were fired at whether they were armed or not on the 14th June at 4:00 in the morning that part of the Legion which was against the Catholics gathered together in the square of the espanada where they were joined by the Patriots from the adjacent towns and Villages who came in in small parties till they formed quite an army at 5 am Mona St pawns knowing that the windows of the Capuchin Monastery commanded the position taken up by the Patriots went there with a company and searched the house thoroughly and also the amphitheater but found nothing suspicious in either immediately after news was heard of the massacres that had taken place during the night the Country House belonging to mure and madmoizelle nogier had been broken into the furniture destroyed the owners killed in their beds and an old man of 70 who lived with them cut to pieces with a scythe a young fellow of 15 named p in passing near the guard placed at the Ponte field had been asked by a redtu if he were a Catholic or Protestant on his replying he was Protestant he was shot dead on the spot that was like killing a lamb said a comrade to the murderer poo said he I have taken a vow to kill four Protestants and he may pass for one mour magaga an old man of 82 head of one one of the most respected families in the neighborhood tried to escape from his house along with his son his daughter-in-law two grandchildren and two servants but the carriage was stopped and while the rebels were murdering him and his son the mother and her two children succeeded in escaping to an inn with the Assassins pursued them fortunately however the two fugitives having a start reached the Inn a few minutes before their pursuers and the inkeeper had enough presence of mind to conceal them and open the garden gate by which he said they had escaped the Catholics believing him scattered over the country to look for them and during their absence the mother and children were rescued by the mounted Patrol the exasperation of the Protestants Rose higher and higher as reports of these murders came in one by one till at last the desire for vengeance could no longer be repressed and they were clamorously insisting on being led against the ramparts and the towers when without warning a heavy fusel began from the windows and clock tower of the Capuchin monastery mour massan a municipal officer was killed on the spot a sapper fatally wounded and 25 of the National Guard wounded more or less severely the Protestants immediately rushed towards the monastery in a disorderly Mass but the superior instead of ordering the gates to be open appeared at the window above the entrance and addressing the asants as the vialist of the vial asked them what they wanted at the monastery we want to destroy it we want to pull it down till not one stone rests upon another they replied upon this the Reverend father ordered the alarm bells to be rung and from the mouths of bronze issued the call for help but before it could arrive the door was burst in with hatchets and five Capuchin and several of the militia who wore the red tuft were killed while all the other occupants of the monastery ran away taking refuge in the house of a Protestant called palan during this attack the church was respected a man from sere however stole a PIX which he found in the sacy but as soon as as his comrades perceived this he was arrested and sent to prison in the monastery itself however the doors were broken in the furniture smashed the library and the dispensary wrecked the sacy itself was not spared its presses being broken into its chest destroyed and two monstrances broken but nothing further was touched the storehouses and the small cloth Factory connected with the monastery remained intact like the church but still the towers held out and it was round them that the real fighting took place the resistance offered from within being all the more obstinate that the besieged expected relief from moment to moment not knowing that their letters had been intercepted by the enemy on every side the rattling of shot was heard from the esplanada from the windows from the roofs but very little effect was produced by the Protestants for desomer had told his men to put their caps with the red toughs on the top of the wall to attract the bullets while they fired from the side meantime the conspirators in order to get a better command of the besiegers reopened a passage which had been long walled up between the Tower dupad and the Tower of the Dominicans desomer accompanied by 30 men came to the door of the monastery nearest the fortifications and demanded the key of another door which led to that part of the ramparts which was opposite the plast dearm where the National Guards were stationed in spite of the remonstrances of the monks who saw that it would expose them to Great Danger The Doors were opened and fman hastened to occupy every post of Vantage and the battle began in that quarter too becoming fiercer as the conspirators remarked that every minute brought the Protestants reinforcements from gardoni and Lavon the firing began at 10:00 in the morning and at 4:00 in the afternoon it was going on with unabated Fury at 4:00 however a servant carrying a flag of truce appeared he brought a letter from desier Fremont and F who styled themselves captains commanding the towers of the castle it was couched in the following words to the commandant of the troops of the line with the request that the contents be communicated to the militia stationed in the esplanada sir we have just been informed that you are anxious for peace we also desire it and have never done anything to break it if those who have caused the frightful confusion which at present prevails in the city are willing to bring it to an end we offer to forget the past and to live with them as brothers we remain with all the frankness and loyalty of Patriots and Frenchmen your humble servants the captains of the Legion of nemes in command of the towers of the castle frent desier F nemes the 14th June 1794 p.m. on the receipt of this letter the City Herald was sent to the towers to offer the rebels terms of capitulation the three captains in command came out to discuss the terms with the commissioners of the Electoral body they were armed and followed by a great number of adherents however as the negotiators desired peace before all things they proposed that the three Chiefs should surrender and place themselves in the hands of the Electoral assembly this offer being refused the Electoral Commissioners withdrew and the rebels retired behind their fortifications about 5:00 in the evening just as the negotiations were broken off monore albre an artillery Captain who had been sent with 200 men to the depot of field artillery in the country returned with six pieces of ordinance determined to make a breach in the tower occupied by the conspirators and from which they were firing in safety at the soldiers who had no cover at 6:00 the guns being mounted their Thunder began first drowning the noise of the musketry and then silencing it all together for the cannonballs did their work quickly and before long the tower threatened to fall thereupon The Electoral Commissioners ordered the firing to cease for a moment in the hope that now the danger had become so imminent the leaders would accept the conditions which they had refused one hour before and not Desiring to drive them to desperation the Commissioners advanced again down College Street preceded by a bugler and the captains were once more summoned to a parlay frent and Des comier came out to meet them and seeing the condition of the tower they agreed to lay down their arms and send them for the palace while they themselves would proceed to the Electoral assembly and place themselves under its protection these proposals being accepted the Commissioners waved their hats as a sign that the treaty was concluded at that instant three shots were fired from the ramparts and cries of treachery treachery were heard on every side the Catholic Chiefs returned to the tower while the Protestants believing that the Commissioners were being assassinated reopened the canonade but finding that it took too long to complete the breach ladders were brought the walls scaled and the towers carried by assault some of the Catholics were killed the others gained Fran's house where encouraged by him they tried to organize a resistance but the ass salance despite the oncoming Darkness attacked the place with such Fury that doors and windows were shattered in an instant frent and his brother Pierre tried to escape by a narrow staircase which led to the roof but before they reached it Pierre was wounded in the hip and fell but frent reached the roof and sprang upon an adjacent Housetop and climbing from roof to roof reached the college and getting into it by a Garrett window took refuge in a large room which was always unoccupied at night being used during the day as a study forment remained hidden there until 11:00 it being then completely dark he got out of the window crossed the city gained the Open Country and walking all night concealed himself during the day in the house of a Catholic the next night he set off again and reached the coast where he embarked on board a vessel for Italy in order to report to those who had sent him the disastrous results of his Enterprise for three whole days the Carnage lasted the Protestants losing all control over themselves carried on the work of death not only Without Pity but with refined cruelty more than 500 Catholics lost their lives before the 17th when peace was restored for a long time recriminations went on between Catholics and Protestants each party trying to fix on the other the responsibility for those Dreadful three days but at last francoa frent put an end to all doubt on the subject by publishing a work from which are set forth many of the details just laid before our readers as well as the reward he met with when he reached Turin at a meeting of the French Nobles in Exile a resolution was passed in favor of mure pier forment and his

terror which struck at all without distinction of creed 138 heads fell on the scaffold condemned by the Revolutionary tribunal of the Guard 91 of those executed were catholic and 47 Protestants so that it looked as if the Executioner in their desire for impartiality had taken a census of the population then came the consulate the Protestants being mostly Tradesmen and manufacturers were therefore richer than the Catholics and had more to lose they seemed to see more chance of stability in this form of government than in those preceding it and it was evident that it had a more powerful genius at its head so they rallied round it with confidence and sincerity the Empire followed with its inclination to Absol ISM its continental system and its increased Taxation and the Protestants Drew back somewhat for it was towards them who had hoped so much from him that Napoleon in not keeping the promises of bonapart was most perjured the first restoration therefore was greeted at nemes with a universal shout of joy and a superficial Observer might have thought that all trace of the old religious leaven had disappeared in fact for 17 years the two faiths had lived side by side in perfect peace and mutual Goodwill for 17 years men met either for business or for social purposes without inquiring about each other's religion so that NES on the surface might have been held up as an example of Union and fraternity when maner arrived at nemes his guard of Honor was drawn from the city guard which still retained its organization of 1812 being composed of citizens without distinction of creed six decorations were conferred on it three on Catholics and three on Protestants at the same time mour Don mure Olivier deont and mour Deen the first the mayor the second the president of the consist and the third a member of the prefecture all three belonging to the reformed religion received the same favor such impartiality on the part of moner almost betrayed a preference and this offended the Catholics they muttered to one another that in the past there had been a time when the fathers of those who had had just been decorated by the hand of the prince had fought against his faithful adherence hardly had mure left the town therefore than it became apparent that Perfect Harmony no longer existed the Catholics had a favorite Cafe which during the whole time the Empire lasted was also frequented by Protestants without a single dispute caused by the difference of religion ever arising but from this time forth the Catholics began to hold themselves aloof from the Protestants the latter perceiving this gave up the cafe by degrees to the Catholics being determined to keep the peace whatever it might cost and went to a cafe which had been just opened under the sign of the aisle of Elba the name was enough to cause them to be regarded as bonap partis and as to bonap partis the cry long live the king was supposed to be offensive they were saluted at every turn with these words pronounced in a tone which became every day more menacing at first they gave back the same cry long live the king but then they were called cowards who expressed with their lips a sentiment which did not come from their hearts feeling that this accusation had some truth in it they were silent but then they were accused of hating the royal family till at length the cry which at first had issued from Full Hearts in a universal chorus grew to be nothing but an expression of party hatred so that on the 21st February 185 mour Don the mayor by a decree prohibited the public from using it as a had become a means of exciting sedition party feeling had reached this height at nemes when on the 4th March the news of the landing of Napoleon arrived deep as was the impression produced the city remained calm but somewhat Sullen in any case the report wanted confirmation Napoleon who knew of the sympathy that the Mountaineers felt for him went at once to the Alps and his Eagle did not as yet take so high a flight that it could be seen hovering above mount genev on the 12th the Duke dulam arrived two proclamations calling the citizens to Arms signalized his presence the citizens answered the call with true Southern ardor an army was formed but although Protestants and Catholics presented themselves for enrollment with equal alacrity the Protestants were excluded the Catholics denying the right of defending their legitimate Sovereign to any but themselves this species of selection apparently went on without the knowledge of the Duke dulma during his stay in nemes he received Protestants and Catholics with equal cordiality and they sat at his table side by side it happened once on a Friday at dinner that a Protestant General took fish and a Catholic General helped himself to fowl the Duke being amused Drew attention to this anomaly whereupon the Catholic General replied better more chicken and less treason this attack was so direct that although the Protestant General felt that as far as he was concerned it had no point he rose from the table and left the room it was the brave General giley who was treated in this cruel manner meanwhile the news became more disastrous every day Napoleon was moving about with the rapidity of his Eagles on the 24th March it was reported in nemes that Louis VI 18th had left Paris on the 19th and that Napoleon had entered on the 20th this report was traced to its source and it was found that it had been spread abroad by mour Vincent to St Laurent a counselor of the prefecture and one of the most respected men in nemes he was summoned at once before the authorities and asked whence he had this information he replied from a letter received from mour brager producing the letter but convincing as was this proof it availed him nothing he was escorted from Brigade to Brigade till he reached the Chateau de the Protestants sided with mour v sent to St laurant the Catholics took the part of the authorities who were persecuting him and thus the two factions which had been so long quiescent found themselves once more face to face and their dormant hatred awoke to New Life for the moment however there was no explosion although the city was at fever heat and everyone felt that a crisis was at hand on the 22nd March two battalions of Catholic volunteers had already been enlisted at nemes and had formed part of the 1800 men who were sent to sa espri just before their departure Flur Dee had been distributed amongst them made of red cloth this change in the color of the monarchical emblem was a threat which the Protestants well understood the prince left nemes in due course taking with him the rest of the royal volunteers and leaving the Protestants practically masters of nemes during the absence of so many Catholics the city however continued calm and when provocations began strange to say they came from the weaker party on the 27th March six men met in a barn DED together and then agreed to make the Circuit of the Town these men were jacqu Dupont who later acquired such terrible celebrity under the name of treston trui the butcher Mor the dog sheerer horse cant and Gile they got opposite the cafe Isle of Elba the name of which indicated the opinion of those who frequented it this Cafe was faced by a guard house which was occupied by soldiers of the 67th regiment the six made a halt and in the most insulting tones raised The Cry of long live the king the disturbance that ensued was so slight that we only mentioned it in order to give an idea of the tolerance of the Protestants and to bring upon the stage the men mentioned above who were 3 months later to play such a terrible part on April 1st the mayor summoned to a meeting at his official residence the municipal Council the members of all the variously constituted administrative bodies and nemes the officers of the City Guards the priests the Protestant pastors and the chief citizens at this meeting mour trink lag advocate of the royal courts read a powerful address expressing the love of the citizens for their king and country and exhorting them to Union and peace this address was unanimously adopted and signed by all present and amongst the signatures were those of the principal Protestants of nemes but this was not all the next day it was printed and published and copies sent to all the communes in the department over which the White Flag still floated and all this happened as we have said on April and 11 days after Napoleon's return to Paris the same day word arrived at the Imperial government had been proclaimed at M pelier the next day April 3rd all the officers on half pay assembled at the fountain to be reviewed by a general and a sub inspector and as these officers were late the order of the day issued by General Ambert recognizing the Imperial government was produced and passed along the ranks causing such excitement that one of the officers drew his sword and cried long live the emperor these magic words were re-echoed from every side and they all hastened to the barracks of the 63rd regiment which had once joined the officers at this juncture Marshall pelier arrived and did not appear to welcome the turn things had taken he made an effort to restrain the enthusiasm of the crowd but was immediately arrested by his own Soldiers the officers repaired in a body to the headquarters of General BR commandant of the Garrison and asked for the official copy of the order of the day he replied that he had received none and when questioned as to which side he was on he refused to answer the officers upon this took him prisoner just as they had consigned him to the barracks for confinement a post office official arrived bringing a despatch from General General ambar learning that General BR was a prisoner the messenger carried his packet to the colonel of the 63rd regiment who was the next in seniority after the General in opening it it was found to contain the order of the day instantly the colonel ordered the ginal to sound the town guards assumed arms the troops left the barracks and formed in line the national guards in the rear of the regular troops and when they were all thus drawn up the order of the day was read it was then snatched out of the Colonel's hands printed on large placards and in less time than seemed possible it was posted up in every street and at every street corner the tricolor replaced the white Cade everyone being obliged to wear the national emblem or none at all the city was proclaimed in a state of Siege and the Military Officers formed a vigilance committee and a police force while the Duke dulma had been staying at nemes General Gilly had applied for a command in that Prince's Army but in in spite of all his efforts obtained nothing so immediately after the dinner at which he was insulted he had withdrawn to aan his place in the country he was awoke in the night of the 5ifth to 6th April by a courier from General Ambert who sent to offer him the command of the second subdivision on the sixth General Gilly went to nemes and sent in his acceptance whereby the Departments of the Guard the Lera and ardesa passed under his authority next day General Gilly received received further despatches from General Amber from which he learned that it was the General's intention in order to avoid the danger of a civil war to separate the Duke dma's Army from the Departments which sympathized with the Royal cause he had therefore decided to make Pon St espri a military post and had ordered the 10th Regiment of mounted shers the 13th artillery and a battalion of infantry to move towards this point by forced marches these troops were commanded by Colonel St laon but General Amber was anxious that if it could be done without danger General Gilly should leave nemes taking with him part of the 63rd regiment and joining the other forces under the command of Colonel St laurant should assume the chief command as the city was quite tranquil General Gilly did not hesitate to obey this order he set out from nemes on the 7th passed the night at uza and finding that town abandoned by the magistrates declared it in a state of Siege lest disturbances should should arise in the absence of authority having placed mour de brasol in command a retired chief of Battalion who was born in usza and who usually lived there he continued his march on the morning of the 8th beyond the village of Konan General Gilly met an orderly sent to him by Colonel St laurant to inform him that he the colonel had occupied pus Bri and that the Duke dangua finding himself thus caught between two fires had just sent General dalan Chief of Staff in the Royal Army to him to enter into negotiations for a surrender upon this General Gilly quickened his advance and on reaching P St espri found General dalon and Colonel St laurant conferring together at the hotel de la poost as Colonel St laurant had received his instructions directly from the commander-in-chief several points relating to the capitulation had already been agreed upon of these General Gilly slightly altered some and approved appr D of the others and the same day the following convention was signed convention concluded between General Gilly and baron Damas s monor luk dangua

the Swedish vessel Scandinavia which taking advantage of a favorable wind set sail the same day early in the morning of the 9th an officer of high rank had been sent to laod to issue safe conducts to the Troops who according to article one of the capitulation were to return home after laying down their arms but during the preceding day and night some of the royal volunteers had evaded this article by withdrawing with their arms and baggage as this infraction of the terms led to Serious consequences we propose in order to establish the fact to cite the depositions of three three Royal volunteers who afterwards gave evidence on leaving the army of the Duke dulma after the capitulation says Jean son I went with my officers and my course to St John de anel from there we marched towards usza in the middle of a forest near a village the name of which I have forgotten our general mour deog told us that we were all to return to our own houses we asked him where we should deposit the flag just then commandant Mana detached it from the staff and put it in his pocket we then asked the general where we should deposit our arms he replied that we had better keep them as we should probably find use for them before long and also to take our ammunition with us to ensure our safety on the road from that time on we all did what we thought best 64 of us remained together and took a guide to enable us to avoid usza Nicola Mari laborer deposed as follows on leaving the army of the Duke dulma after the capitulation I went with my officers in my core to St John de anel we marched toward usza but when we were in the middle of a forest near a village the name of which I have forgotten our general mour Dev Vogue told us that we were to go to our own homes as soon as we liked we saw commandant Mana loose the flag from its staff roll it up and put it in his pocket we asked the general what we were to do with our arms he replied that we were to keep both them and our ammunition as we should find them of you upon this our Chiefs left us and we all got away as best we could after the capitulation of the Duke Danga I found myself deposes Paul lber lace maker of nemes in one of several detachments under the orders of commandant mana and general Vogue in the middle of a forest near a village the name of which I do not know mure de Vogue and the other officer told us we might go home the flag was folded up and moner Mana put it in his pocket we asked our Chiefs what we were to do to do with our arms mure deog told us that we had better keep them as we should need them before very long and in any case it would be well to have them with us on the road lest anything should happen to us the three depositions are too much alike to leave room for any doubt the Royal volunteers contravened article one of the convention being thus abandoned by their Chiefs without General and without flag mure deog soldiers asked no further counsel of anyone but themselves and as one of them has already told us 64 of them joined together to hire a guide who was to show them how to get by usza without going through it for they were afraid of meeting with insult there the guide brought them as far as mm without anyone opposing their passage or taking notice of their arms suddenly a Coachman named bertran a confidential servant of ab rafan former Grand vicer of Al and of baroness arod verer for the Abbey administered the estate of orak in his own name and that of the baroness galloped into the village of Araya which was almost entirely Protestant and consequently Napoleon announcing that the molettes for after 110 years the old name given to the Royal troops was revived were on the way from monm pillaging houses murdering magistrates outraging women and then throwing them out of the windows it is easy to understand the effect of such a story the people gathered together in groups the mayor and his assistant being absent Bertrand was taken before a certain buut who on receiving his report ordered the generali to be beaten and the toxin to be rung then the consternation became General the men seized their muskets the women and children stones and pitchforks and everyone made ready to face a danger which only existed in the imagination of Bertrand for there was not a shadow of foundation for the story he had told while the village was in this state of feverish excitement the royal volunteers came in sight hardly were they seen then the cry there they are there they are arose on all sides the streets were barricaded with carts the toxin rang out with redoubled frenzy and everyone capable of carrying arms rushed to the entrance of the village the volunteers hearing the Uproar and seeing the Hostile preparations halted and to show that their intentions were peaceful put their Shackles on their musket stocks and wave them above their heads shouting that no one need fear for they would do no harm to anyone but alarmed as they were by the terrible stories told by bertron the villagers shouted back that they could not trust to such assurances that if they wanted to pass through the village they must first give up their weapons it may easily be imagined that men who had broken the convention in order to keep their weapons were not likely to give them up to these villagers in fact they obstinately refused to let them out of their hands and by doing so increased the suspicions of the people a parlay of a very very excited character took place between mour forier for the Royal Guards and mour abukar rud who was chosen spokesman by the villagers from words they came to Deeds the molettes tried to force their way through some shots were fired and two molettes calve and forier fell the others scattered followed by a lively discharge and two more molettes were slightly wounded thereupon they all took to flight through the fields on either side of the road pursued for a short Distance by the villagers but soon returned to examine the two wounded men and a report was drawn up by Antoine roban Advocate and magistrate of the Canton of usza of the events just related this accident was almost the only one of its kind which happened during the 100 days the two parties remained face to face threatening but self-controlled but let there be no mistake there was no peace they were simply awaiting a declaration of war when the colum was broken it was from Marseilles that the provocation came we shall a face ourselves for a time and let an eyewitness speak who being a Catholic cannot be suspected of partiality for the Protestants I was living in Marseilles at the time of Napoleon's landing and I was a witness of the impression which the news produced upon everyone there was one great cry the enthusiasm was Universal the National Guard wanted to join him to the last man but Marshall Masa did not give his consent until it was too late for Napoleon had already reached the mountains and was moving with such swiftness that it would have been impossible to overtake him next we heard of his triumphal entry into Leon and of his arrival in Paris during the night Marse submitted like the rest of France Prince dling was recalled to the capital and Marshall Brun who commanded the sixth core of observation fixed his headquarters at Marseilles with quite incomprehensible fickleness Marcel whose name during the terror had been as one may say the symbol of the most advanced opinions had become almost entirely royalist in 1815 nevertheless its inhabitants saw without a murmur the tricolor flag after a Year's absence floating once more above the walls no arbitrary interference on the part of the authorities no threats and no brawling between the citizens and the soldiers troubled the Peace of old fola no Revolution ever took place with such quietness and facility it must however be said that Marshall Bruno was just the man to accomplish such a transformation without friction in him the frankness and loyalty of an old Soldier were combined with other qualities more solid than brilliant tacitus in hand he looked on at modern revolutions as they passed and only interfered when the voice of his country called him to her defense the Conqueror of Harlem and bakon had been for four years forgotten in retirement or rather in Exile when the same voice which sent him away recalled him and at the summons Cincinnatus left his plow and grasped his weapons physically he was at this period a man of about 55 with a Frank and open face framed by large whiskers his head was bald except for a little grizzled hair at the temples he was tall and active and had a remarkably soldy bearing I had been brought into contact with him by a report which one of my friends and I had drawn up on the opinions of the people of the south end of which he had asked to have a copy in a long conversation with us he discussed the subject with the impartiality of a man who brings an open mind to a debate and he invited us to come often to see him we enjoyed ourselves so much in his society that we got into the habit of going to his house nearly every evening on his arrival in the south in Old calumny which had formerly pursued him again made its appearance quite rejuvenated by its long sleep a writer whose name I have forgotten in describing the massacres of the 2nd of September and the death of the unfortunate Princessa deala had said some people thought they recognized in the man who carried her head impaled on a pike General Bruna in Disguise and this accusation which had been caught up with eagerness under the consulate still followed him so relentlessly in 1815 that hardly a day passed without his receiving an anonymous letter threatening him with the same fate which had overtaken the princess one evening while we were with him such a letter arrived and having read it he passed it on to us it was as follows wretch we are acquainted with all your crimes for which you will soon receive the chastisement you well deserve it was you who During the Revolution brought about the death of the princessa deala it was you who carried her head on a pike but your head will be impaled on something longer if you are so rash as to be present at the review of the Allies it is all up with you and your head will be stuck up on the steeple of the akula farewell scoundrel we advised him to trace this calumny to its source and then to take signal Vengeance on the authors he paused an instant to reflect and then lit the letter at a candle and looking at it thoughtfully as it turned to ashes in his hand said Vengeance yes perhaps by seeking that I could silence the authors of these Slanders and preserve the public Tranquility which they constantly imp Peril but I prefer persuasion to severity my principle is that it is better to bring men's heads back to a right way of thinking than to cut them off and to be regarded as a weak man rather than as a bloodthirsty one the essence of Marshall bruna's character was contained in these words public Tranquility was indeed twice endangered at Marseilles during the 100 days and both times in the same manner The Garrison officers used to gather at a coffee house in the place necer and sing songs suggested by passing events this caused an attack by the town's people who broke the windows by Throwing Stones Some of which struck the officers these rushed out crying to Arms the town's people were not slow to respond but the commandant ordered the Gan to beat sent out numerous patrols and succeeded in calming the excitement and restoring quietness without any casualties the day of the shamp dumai orders for a general illumination were given and that the tricolor flag should be displayed from the windows the greater number of the inhabitants paid no attention to the desires of the authorities and the officers being annoyed at this neglect indulged in reprehensible excesses which however resulted in nothing more serious than some broken windows belonging to houses which had not illuminated and in some of the householders being forced to illuminate according to order in Marseilles as in the rest of France people began to despare of the success of the royal cause and those who represented this cause who were very numerous at gave up annoying the military and seemed to resign themselves to their fate Marshall Bruna had left the city to take up his post on the frontier without any of the dangers with which he was threatened having come across his path the 25th of June arrived and the news of the successes obtained at furus and at ligy seemed to justify the hopes of the soldiers when in the middle of the day muttered reports began to spread in the town the distant reverberations of the cannon of watero the Silence of the leaders the uneasiness of the soldiers the Delight of the royalists foretold the outbreak of a new struggle the results of which it was easy to anticipate about 4:00 in the afternoon a man who had probably got earlier information than his fellow towns people tore off his tricolored cockade and trampled it underfoot crying long live the king the angry soldiers seized him and were about to drag him to the guard house but the National Guards prevented them and their interference led to a fight shouts were heard on all sides a large ring was formed round the soldiers a few musket shots heard others answered three or four men fell and lay there weltering in their blood out of this confused uproar the word waterl emerged distinct and with this unfamiliar name pronounced for the first time in the resounding voice of History the news of the defeat of the French Army and the Triumph of the Allies spread a pace then General verer who held the chief command in the absence of mar Bruna tried to Harang the people but his voice was drowned by the shouts of the mob who had gathered around a coffee house where stood a bust of the emperor which they insisted should be given up to them verer hoping to calm what he took to be a simple Street row gave orders that the bust should be brought out and this concession so significant on the part of a general commanding in the emperor's name convinced the crowd that his cause was lost the fury of the populace grew greater now that they felt that they could indulge it with impunity they ran to the town hall and tearing down and burning the tricolored raised the White Flag the roll of the generale the clang of the toxin were heard the neighboring Villages poured in their populations and increased the throng in the streets single acts of violence began to occur wholesale massacres were approaching I had arrived in the town with my friend mure the very beginning of the tumult so we had seen the dangerous agitation and excitement grow under our eyes but we were still ignorant of its true cause when in the rud de NOA we met an acquaintance who although his political opinions did not coincide with ours had always shown himself very friendly to us well I said what news good for me and bad for you he answered I advise you to go away at once surprised and somewhat alarmed at these words we begged him to explain listen said he there are going to be riots in the town it is well known that you you used to go to Bruna nearly every evening and that you are in consequence no favorite with your neighbors seek safety in the country I addressed some further question to him but turning his back to me he left me without another word mure and I were still looking at each other in stupefaction when the increasing uproar roused us to a sense that if we desired to follow the advice just given we had not a moment to lose we hastened to my house which was situated in the AL de Mayan my wife was just going out but I stopped her we are not safe here I said we must get away into the country but where can we go wherever luck takes us let us start she was going to put on her Bonnet but I told her to leave it behind for it was most important that no one should think we suspected anything but were merely going for a stroll this precaution saved us for we learned the next day that if Our intention to fly had been suspected we should should have been stopped we walked at random while behind us we heard musket shots from every part of the town we met a company of soldiers who were hurrying to the relief of their comrades but heard later that they had not been allowed to pass the gate we recollected an old officer of our acquaintance who had quitted the service and withdrawn from the world some years before and had taken a place in the country near the village of St juice we directed our course toward his house captain said I to him they are murdering each other in the town we are pursued and without Asylum so we come to you that's right my children said he come in and welcome I have never meddled with political Affairs and no one can have anything against me no one will think of looking for you here the captain had friends in the town who one after another reached his house and brought us news of all that went on during that Dreadful day many soldiers had been killed and the mamalu had been annihilated a who had been in the service of these unfortunates had had been taken on The Quay cry long live the king shouted the mob no she replied to Napoleon I owe my Daily Bread Long Live Napoleon a bayonet thrust in the abdomen was the answer villains said she covering the wound with her hand to keep back the protruding entrails Long Live Napoleon a push sent her into the water she sank but rose again to the surface and waving her hand she cried for the last time long live Napoleon a bullet shot putting an end to her life several of the town's people had met with shocking deaths for instance mure Anga a neighbor of mine an old man and no inconsiderable scholar having unfortunately went at the palace some days before given utterance before witnesses to the sentiment that Napoleon was a great man learned that for his crime he was about to be arrested yielding to the prayers of his family he disguised himself and getting into a wagon set off to seek safety in the country he was however recognized and brought a prisoner to the pl du chapita where after being buffeted about and insulted for an hour by the populace he was at last murdered it may easily be imagined that although no one came to disturb us we did not sleep much that night the ladies rested on sofas or armchairs without undressing while our host mure and myself took turns in guarding the door gun in hand as soon as it was light we consulted what course we should take I was of the opinion that we ought to try to reach I by unfrequented paths having friends there we should be able to procure a carriage and get to nemes where my family lived but my wife did not agree with me I must go back to town for our things said she we have no clothes but those on our backs let us send to the Village to ask if marsel is quieter today than yesterday so we sent off a messenger the news he brought back was favorable order was completely restored I could not quite believe this and still refuse to let my wife return to the town unless I accompanied her but in that everyone was against me my presence would give rise to dangers which without me had no existence where were the miscreant cowardly enough to murder a woman of 18 who belonged to no party and had never injured anyone as for me my opinions were well known moreover my mother-in-law offered to accompany her daughter and both joined in persuading me that there was no danger At Last I was forced to consent but only on one condition I cannot say I observed whether there is any foundation for the reassuring tidings we have heard but of one thing you may be sure it is now 7:00 in the morning you can get to Marseilles in an hour pack your trunks in another hour and return in a third let us allow one hour more for unforeseen delays if you are not back by 11:00 I Shall Believe something has happened happened and take steps accordingly very well said my wife if I am not back by then you may think me dead and do whatever you think best and so she and her mother left me an hour later quite different news came to hand fugitives seeking like ourselves safety in the country told us that the rioting far from ceasing had increased the streets were encumbered with corpses and two people had been murdered with unheard of Cruelty an old man named beerus who had led a simple and blameless life and whose only crime was that he had served under the usurper anticipating that under existing circumstances this would be regarded as a capital crime made his will which was afterwards found among his papers it began with the following words as it is possible that during this revolution I may meet my death as a partisan of Napoleon although I have never loved him I give and bequeath etc etc the day before his brother-in-law knowing he had private enemies had had come to the house and spent the night trying to induce him to flee but all in vain but the next morning his house being attacked he yielded and tried to escape by the back door he was stopped by some of the National Guard and placed himself under their protection they took him to the core St Louis where being hustled by the crowd and very ineffectually defended by the guards he tried to enter the cafe meraner but the door was shut in his face being broken by fatigue breathless and covered with dust and SW wet he threw himself on one of the benches placed against the wall outside the house here he was wounded by a musket bullet but not killed at the sight of his blood shrieks of Joy were heard and then a young man with a pistol in each hand forced his way through the throng and killed the old man by Two Shots Fired point blank in the face another still more atrocious murder took place in the course of the same morning a father and son bound back to back were delivered over to the Tender Mercies of the mob stoned and beaten and covered with each other's blood for two long hours their death Agony endured and all the while those who could not get near enough to strike were dancing round them our time passed listening to such stories suddenly I saw a friend running towards the house I went to meet him he was so pale that I hardly dared to question him he came from the city and had been at my house to see what had become of me there was no one in it but a cross the door lay two corpses wrapped in a bloodstained sheet which he had not dared to lift had these terrible words nothing could hold me back I set off for marsel mure who would not consent to let me return alone accompanied me and passing through the village of St juust we encountered a crowd of armed peasants in the Main Street who appeared to belong to the free companies although this circumstance was rather alarming it would have been dangerous to turn back so we continued our way as if we were not in the the least uneasy they examined our bearing and our dress narrowly and then exchanged some sentences in a low voice of which we only caught the words aan this was the name by which the bonapartists were called by The Peasants and means Eaters of chestnuts this article of food being brought from Corsica to France however we were not molested in any way for as we were going towards a city they did not think we could be fugitives a 100 yards Beyond The Village we came up with a crowd of peasants who were like us on the way to Marseilles it was plain to see that they had just been pillaging some country house for they were Laden with Rich stuffs chandeliers and jewels it proved to be that of mour R inspector of reviews several carried muskets I pointed out to my companion a stain of Blood on the trousers of one of the men who began to laugh when he saw what we were looking at 200 yards outside the city I met a woman who had formerly been a servant in my house she was very much astonished to see me and said go away at once the massacre is horrible much worse than yesterday but my wife I cried do you know anything about her no sir she replied I was going to knock at the door but some people asked me in a threatening manner if I could tell them where the friend of that Rascal Bruno was as they were going to take away his appetite for bread so take my advice she continued and go back to where you came from this advice was the last I could make up my mind to follow so we went on but found a strong guard at the gate and saw that it would be impossible to get through without being recognized at the same time the cries and the reports of firearms from within were coming nearer it would therefore have been to court certain death to advance so we retraced our steps in passing again through the village of St juust we met once more our armed peasants but this time they burst out into threats on seeing us shouting let us kill them let us let us kill them instead of running away we approached them assuring them that we were royalists our coolness was so convincing that we got through Safe and Sound on getting back to the captains I threw myself on the sofa quite overcome by the thought that only that morning my wife had been beside me under my protection and that I had let her go back to the town to a cruel and inevitable death I felt as if my heart would break and nothing that our host and my friend could say gave me the slightest Comfort I was like a mad man unconscious of everything around me mure went out to try to pick up some news but in an instant we heard him running back and he dashed into the room calling out they are coming there they are who are coming we asked the Assassins my first feeling I confess was one of Joy I pounced upon a pair of double barreled pistols resolved not to let myself be slaughtered like a sheep through the window I could see some men climbing cling over the wall and getting down into the garden we had just sufficient time to escape by a back staircase which led to a door through which we passed shutting it behind us we found ourselves on a road at the other side of which was a Vineyard we crossed the road and crept under the vines which completely concealed us as we learned later the Captain's House had been denounced as a bonap partis nest and the Assassins had hoped to take it by surprise and indeed if they had come a little sooner we had been lost for before we had been 5 minutes in our hiding place the murderers rushed out on the road looking for us in every direction without the slightest suspicion that we were not six yards distant though they did not see us I could see them and I held my pistols ready cocked quite determined to kill the first who came near however in a short time they went away end of chapter 7 section 1 chapter 7 section 2 as soon as they were out of hearing we began to consider our situation and weigh our chances there was no use in going back to the captains for he was no longer there having also succeeded in getting away if we were to wander about the country we should be recognized as fugitives and the Fate that awaited us as such was at the moment brought home to us for a few yards away we suddenly heard the shrieks of a man who was being murdered they were the first cries of Agony I had ever heard and for few moments I confess I was Frozen with Terror but soon a violent reaction took place within me and I felt that it would be better to March straight to meet Peril than to await its coming and although I knew the danger of trying to go through St juice again I resolved to risk it and to get to Marse at all costs so turning to mure I said you can remain here without danger until the evening but I am going to Marseilles at once for I cannot endure this uncertainty any longer if I find St Jud clear I shall come back and rejoin you but if not I shall get away as best I can alone knowing the danger that we were running and our little chance there was that we should ever see each other again he held out his hand to me but I threw myself into his arms and gave him a last Embrace I started at once when I reached St ju I found the free Booter still there so I walked up to them trolling a Melody but one of them seized me by the collar and two others took aim at me with their musket if ever in my life I shouted long live the king with less enthusiasm than the cry deserves it was then to assume a ricking air to laugh with cool carelessness when there is nothing between you and death but the more or less strong pressure of a high women's finger on the trigger of a musket is no easy task but all this I accomplished and once more got through the village with a whole skin indeed but with the unalterable resolution to blow my brains out rather than again try such an experiment having now a village behind me which I had vowed never to re-enter and there being no Road available by which I could hope to get round Mars the only course open to me was to make my way into the city at that moment this was a thing of difficulty for many small bodies of troops wearing the white cockade infested the approaches I soon perceived that the danger of getting in was as great as ever so I determined to walk up and down till night hoping the darkness would come to my aid but one of the patrols soon gave me to understand that my prowling about had aroused suspicion and ordered me either to go on to the city in which by all accounts there was small chance of safety for me or back to the village where certain death awaited me a happy inspiration flashed across my mind I would get some refreshment and seeing an in nearby I went in and ordered a mug of beer sitting down near the window faintly hoping that before the necessity for a final decision arrived someone who knew me would pass by after waiting half an hour I did indeed see an acquaintance no other than mure whom I had left in the vineyard I beckoned him and he joined me he told me that being too impatient to await my return he had soon made up his mind to follow me and by joining a band of pillagers was lucky enough to get safely through St ju we consulted together as to what we had better do next and having applied to our host found he could Supply us with a trusty messenger who would carry the news of our whereabouts to my brother-in-law and after an anxious wait of 3 hours we saw him coming I was about to run out to meet him but mure held me back pointing out the danger of such a step so we sat still our eyes fixed on the approaching figure but when my brother-in-law reached the Inn I could restrain my impatience no longer but rushing out of the room met him on the stairs my wife I cried have you seen my wife she is at my house was the reply and with a cry of Joy I threw myself into his arms my wife who who had been threatened insulted and roughly treated because of my opinions had indeed found safety at my brother-in-laws night was coming on my brother-in-law who wore the uniform of the National Guard which was at the moment a safeguard took us each by an arm and we passed the barrier without anyone asking us who we were choosing quiet streets we reached his house unmolested but in fact the whole city was quiet for the Carnage was practically at an end my wife's safe this thought filled my heart with Joy almost too great to Bear her adventures were the following my wife and her mother had gone to our house as agreed upon to pack our trunks as they left their rooms having accomplished their task they found the land lady waiting on the staircase who had once overwhelmed my wife with a torrent of abuse the husband who until then had known nothing of their tenants return hearing the noise came out of his room and seizing his wife by the arm pulled her in and shut the door she however rushed to the window and just as my wife and her mother reached the street shouted to a free band who were on guard across the way fire they are bonap partis fortunately the men more merciful than the woman seeing two ladies quite alone did not hinder their passage and as just then my brother-in-law came by whose opinions were well known and whose uniform was respected he was allowed to take them under his protection and conduct them to his house in safety a young man employed at the prefecture who had called at my house the day before I having promised to help him in editing the journal de Bush Deon was not so lucky his occupation and his visit to me laid him under suspicion of possessing dangerous opinions and his friends urged him to fly but it was too late he was attacked at the corner of the rude in no and fell wounded by a stab from a dagger happily however he ultimately recovered the whole day was passed in the commission of Deeds still more bloody than those of the day before the sewers ran ran blood and every hundred yards a dead body was to be met but this sight instead of satiating the thirst for blood of the Assassins only seemed to awaken a general feeling of gayety in the evening the streets resounded with song and round delay and for many a year to come that which we looked back on as the day of the massacre lived in the memory of the royalists as the day of the farce as we felt we could not live any longer in the midst of such scenes even though as far as we were concern concerned all danger was over we set out for nemes that same evening having been offered the use of a carriage nothing worthy of note happened on the road to oron which we reached next day but the isolated detachments of troops which we passed from time to time reminded us that the Tranquility was nowhere perfect as we neared the town we saw three men going about arm in-arm this friendliness seemed strange to us after our recent experiences for one of them wore a white cockade the second a tricolor and the third none at all and yet they went about on the most brotherly terms each awaiting under a different Banner the outcome of events their wisdom impressed me much and feeling I had nothing to fear from such philosophers I went up to them and questioned them and they explained their hopes to me with the greatest innocence and above all their firm determination to belong to whatever party got the upper hand as we drove into oron we saw at a glance that the whole town was simmering with excitement everybody's face expressed anxiety a man who we were told was the mayor was Haring a group as everyone was listening with the greatest attention we drew near and asked them the cause of the excitement gentlemen said he you ought to know the news the king is in his capital and we have once more hoisted the white flag and there has not been a single dispute to Mar the Tranquility of the day one party has triumphed without violence and the other has submitted with resignation but I have just learned that a band of vagabonds numbering about 300 have assembled on the bridge over the Durant and are preparing to raid our little town tonight intending by pillage or extortion to get at what we possess I have a few guns left which I'm about to distribute and each man will watch over the safety of all although he had not enough arms to go around he offered to supply us but as I had my double barreled pistols I did not deprive him of his weapons I made the ladies go to bed and sitting at their door tried to sleep as well as I could a p in each hand but at every instant the noise of a false alarm sounded through the town and when day dawned my only consolation was that no one else in oron had slept any better than I the next day we continued our journey to tascon where new excitements awaited us as we got near the town we heard the toxin clanging and drums beating the generali we were so accustomed to the Uproar that we were not very much astonished however when we got in we asked what was going on and we were told that 12,000 th000 troops from nemes had marched on boair and laid it waste with fire and sword I insinuated that 12,000 men was a rather large number for one town to furnish but was told that that included troops from the gardoni and the Sven nemes still clung to the tricolor but boair had hoisted the white flag and it was for the purpose of pulling it down and scattering the royalists who were assembling in numbers at boair that nemes had sent forth her troops on this Expedition seeing that tarascan and boair are only separated by the rone it struck me as peculiar that such quiet should Prevail on One Bank while such Fierce conflict was raging on the other I did not doubt that something had happened but not in event of such gravity as was reported we therefore decided to push on to boair and when we got there we found the town in the most perfect order the expedition of 12,000 men was reduced to one of 200 which had been easily repulsed with the result that of the assailants one had been wounded and one made prisoner proud of this success the people of boair entrusted us with a thousand objs to deliver to their inveterate enemies the citizens of nemes if any Journey could give a correct idea of the preparations for Civil War and the confusion which already prevailed in the South I should think that without contradiction it would be that which we took that day along the four leagues which lie between boar and nemes were posted at frequent intervals detachments of troops displaying alternately the white in the tricolored Cade every village upon our route except those just outside of nemes had definitely joined either one party of the other and the soldiers who were stationed at equal distances along the road were now royalist and now bonapartist before leaving boair we had all provided ourselves taking example by The Men We had seen at oron with two cockades one white and one tricolored and by peeping out from the carriage windows we were able to see which was worn by the troops we were approaching in time to attach a similar one to our hats before we got up to them whilst we hid the other in our shoes then as we were passing we stuck our heads decorated according to the circumstances out of the windows and shouted vigorously long live the king or long live the Emperor as the case demanded thanks to this concession to political opinions on the highway and in no less degree to the money which we gave by way of tips to everybody everywhere we arrived at length at the barriers of nemes where we came up with the National Guards who had been repulsed by the towns people of bokare this is what had taken place just before we arrived in the city the National Guard of nemes and the troops of which The Garrison was composed had resolved to unite in giving a banquet on Sunday the 28th of June to celebrate the success of the French army the news of the battle of waterl traveled much more quickly to Marseilles than to nemes so the banquet took place without interrup coron a bust of Napoleon was carried in procession all over the town and then the regular soldiers and the National Guard devoted the rest of the day to rejoicings which were followed by no excess but the day was not quite finished before news came that numerous meetings were taking place at boair so although the news of the defeat at waterl reached nemes on the following Tuesday the troops which we had seen returning to the gates of the city had been dispatched on Wednesday to disperse these assemblies meantime the bonapartists under the command of General Gilly amongst whom was a regiment of Chasers beginning to despair of the success of their calls felt that their situation was becoming very critical especially as they leared that the forces at boair had assumed the offensive and were about to March upon nemes as I had had no connection with anything that had taken place in the capital of the Guard I personally had nothing to fear but Having learned by experience how easily suspicions arise I was was afraid that the ill luck which had not spared either my friends or my family might lead to their being accused of having received a refugee from Marseilles a word in which itself had small significance but which in the mouth of an enemy might be fatal fears for the future being thus aroused by my Recollections of the past I decided to give up the contemplation of a drama which might become redoutable asked to bury myself in the country with the firm intention of coming back to nemes as soon as the White Flag should once more float from its Towers an old castle in the Sven which from the days when the alenes were burnt down to the massacre of La bagara had witnessed many a revolution and counterrevolution became the Asylum of my wife my mother mure and myself as the peaceful Tranquility of our life there was Unbroken by any event of Interest I shall not pause to dwell on it but at length we grew weary for such as man of our life of calm and being left once for nearly a week without any news from outside we made that an excuse for returning to nemes in order to see with our own eyes how things were going on when we were about two leagues on our way we met the carriage of a friend a rich landed proprietor from the city seeing that he was in it I El lighted to ask him what was happening in nemes I hope you do not think of going there said he especially at this moment the excitement is intense blood has already flowed and catastrophe is imminent so back we went to our mountain castle but in a few days became again a prey to the same restlessness and not being able to overcome it decided to go at all risks and see for ourselves the condition of Affairs and this time neither advice nor warning having any effect we not only set out but we arrived at our destination the same evening we had not been misinformed phrase having already taken place in the streets which had heated public opinion one man had been killed on the esplanada by a musket shot in its seemed as if his death would be only the Forerunner of many the Catholics were awaiting with impatience the arrival of those Dy Warriors from boair on whom they placed their Chief Reliance the Protestants went about in painful silence and fear blanched every face at length the white flag was hoisted and the King proclaimed without any of the disorders which had been dreaded taking place but it was plainly visible that this calm was only a pause before a struggle and that on the slightest pre text the pent up passions would break loose again just at this time the memory of our quiet life in the mountains inspired us with a happy idea we had learned that the obstinate resolution of Marshall Bruna never to acknowledge Louis VI 18th as king had been softened and that the Marshall had been induced to Hoist the white flag at tulon while with a cade in his hat he had formally resigned the command of that place into the hands of the royal authorities henceforward in all the province there was no spot where he could live unmarked his ultimate intentions were unknown to us indeed his movements seemed to show great hesitation on his part so it occurred to us to offer him our little country house as a refuge where he could await the arrival of more peaceful times we decided that mure and another friend of ours who had just arrived from Paris should go to him and make the offer which he would at once accept all the more readily because it came from the hearts which were deeply devoted to him they set out but to my great surprise returned the same day they brought us word that Marshall Bruna had been assassinated at Aenon at first we could not believe the Dreadful news and took it for one of these ghastly rumors which circulate with such rapidity during periods of civil Strife but we were not left long in uncertainty for the details of the catastrophe arrived all too soon end of chapter 7 section two chapter 8 for for some days aan had its assassins as marel had had them and as nemes was about to have them for some days all Aenon shuted at the names of five men pantu fargus Roa for noad and Manon pantu was a perfect type of the men of the South Olive skinned and eagle-eyed with a hook nose and Teeth of ivory although he was hardly above middle height and his back was bent from bearing heavy burdens his legs bowed by the pressure of the enormous masses which he daily carried he was yet possessed of extraordinary strength and dexterity he could throw over the L gate a 48lb cannonball as easily as a child could throw its ball he could fling a stone from One Bank of the rone to the other where it was 200 yards wide and lastly he could throw a knife backwards while running at full speed with such strength and precision of aim that this new kind of parthan Arrow would go whistling through the air to hide two Ines of its iron head in a tree trunk no thicker than a man's thigh when to these accomplishments are added an equal skill with the musket the pistol and the Quarter Staff a good deal of mother wit a deep hatred for Republicans against whom he had vowed Vengeance at the foot of the scaffold on which his father and mother had perished an idea can be formed of the terrible chief of the Assassins of aanon who had for his lieutenants fargus the silk Weaver Roa for the porter noad the Baker and Manan the secondhand clothes dealer Evan yon was entirely in the power of these five men whose brutal conduct the civil and Military authorities would not or could not repress when word came that Marshall Brun who was at Luke in command of 6,000 troops had been summoned to Paris to give an account of his conduct to the new government the Marshall knowing the state of intense excitement which prevailed in the South and foreseeing the perils likely to meet him on the road asked permission to travel by water but met with an official refusal and the Duke de Rivier governor of Marseilles furnished him with a safe conduct the Cutthroats bellowed with joy when they learned that a republican of 89 who had risen to the rank of Marshall under the usurper was about to pass through Aenon at the same time Sinister reports began to run from mouth to mouth the harbingers of death once more the infamous slander which aund times had been proved to be false raised its voice with dogged persistence asserting that Bruna who did not arrive at Paris until the 5th of September 1792 had on the 2 when still at leyon carried the head of the Princess D Lala impaled on a pike soon the news came that the Marshall had just escaped assassination at I indeed he owed his safety to the fleetness of his horses pantu forgus and Roa for swore that they would manage things better at Aenon by the route which the Marshall had chosen there were only two ways open by which he could reach reach Leon he must either pass through Aon or avoid it by taking a crossroad which branched off at the pantet highway two leagues outside the town the Assassins thought that he would take the lad course and on the 2nd of August the day on which the Marshall was expected pantu Manan and nadad with four of their creatures took a carriage at 6:00 in the morning and setting out from the ran Bridge hid themselves by the side of the high road to pantet when the reached the point where the road divided having been warned of the Hostile feelings so rif in Aon he decided to take the crossroad upon which ponu and his men were awaiting him but the postilion obstinately refused to drive in this direction saying that he always changed horses at Aenon and not at pet one of the Marshalls Aid to Camp tried pistol in hand to force him to obey but the Marshall would permit no violence to be offered him and gave him orders to go on to Aenon the mar reached the town at 9:00 in the morning and alighted at the hotel de Royale which was also the post house while Fresh Horses were being put to and the passports and safe conduct examined at the lul gate the Marshall entered the hotel to take a plate of soup in less than 5 minutes A Crowd gathered around the door and mour Mulan the proprietor noticing the Sinister and threatening expression many of the faces bore went to the Marshall's room and urged him to leave instantly without waiting for his papers pledging his word that he would send a man on Horseback after him who would overtake him two or three leagues beyond the town and bring him his own safe conduct and the passports of his Aid de Camp the Marshall came downstairs and finding the horses ready got into the carriage on which loud murmurs arose from the populace amongst which could be distinguished the word Z that excited Cry of the provincal which according to the tone in which it is uttered expresses every shade of threat and which means at once in a single single syllable bite Ren kill murder the Marshall set out at a gallop and passed the town Gates unmolested except by the howlings of the populace who however made no attempt to stop him he thought he had left all his enemies behind but when he reached the rone bridge he found a group of men armed with muskets waiting there led by fargus and Roa for they all raised their guns and took aim at the Marshall who thereupon ordered the postillon to drive back the order was obeyed but when the carriage had gone about 50 yard it was met by a crowd from the pet Royale which had followed it so the postillon stopped in a moment the traces were cut whereupon the Marshall opening the door alighted followed by his valet and passing on foot through the lul gate followed by a second carriage in which were his Aid to Camp he regained the palet Royale the doors of which were open to him in his suweet and immediately secured against all others the Marshall asked to be shown to a room and mono Mulan gave him number one to the front in 10 minutes 3,000 people filled the square it was as if the population sprang up from the ground just then the carriage which the Marshall had left behind came up the postilion having tied the traces and a second time the great yard Gates were opened and in spite of the press closed again and barricaded by the porter F and monu Mulan himself both of whom were men of colossal strength the aid to Camp who had remained in the carriage until then now Al lighted and asked to be shown to the Marshall but Mulan ordered the porter to conceal them in an ouse F taking one in each hand dragged them off despite their struggles and pushing them behind some empty barrels over which he threw an old piece of carpet said to them in a voice as solemn as if he were a prophet if you move you are dead men and left them the aid to Camp remained there motionless and Silent at that moment mono to St shamon pref effect of Aon who had arrived in town at 5:00 in the morning came out into the Courtyard by this time the crowd was smashing the windows and breaking in the street door the square was full to overflowing everywhere threatening cries were heard and above all the terrible zow from which moment to moment became more full of Menace mono Mulan saw that if they could not hold out until the troops under major Lambo arrived all was lost he therefore told F to settle the business of those who were break K in the door while he would take charge of those who were trying to get in at the window thus these two men moved by a common impulse and of equal courage undertook to dispute with a howling mob the possession of the blood for which it thirsted both dashed to their posts one in the hall the other in the dining room and found door and windows already smashed and several men in the house at the sight of fa with whose immense strength they were acquainted those in the hall Drew back a step and F taking advantage of this moment succeeded in ejecting them and in securing the door once more meantime onore Mulan seizing his double barreled gun which stood in the Chimney Corner pointed it at five men who had got into the dining room and threatened to fire if they did not instantly get out again four obeyed but one refused to budge whereupon Mulan finding himself no longer outnumbered laid aside his gun and seizing his adversary round the waist lifted him as if he were a child and flung him out of the window the man died 3 weeks later not from the fall but from the squeeze Mulan then dashed to the window to secure it but as he laid his hand on it he felt his head seized from behind and pressed violently down on his left shoulder at the same instant a pain was broken into splinters and the head of a hatchet struck his right shoulder mour to St Shaman who had followed him into the room had seen the weapon thrown at mulan's head and not being able to turn aside the iron had turned aside the object at which it was aimed m seized the Hatchet by the handle and tore it out of the hands of him who had delivered the blow which fortunately had missed its aim he then finished closing the window and secured it by making Fast the inside shutters and went upstairs to see after the Marshall him he found striding up and down his room his handsome and Noble face as calm as if the voices of all those shouting men outside were not demanding his death Mulan made him leave number one for number three which being a back room and looking out on the Courtyard seemed to offer more chances of safety than the other the Marshall asked for writing materials which Mulan brought whereupon the Marshall sat down at a little table and began to write just then the cries outside became still more uproarious mour St Shaman had gone out and ordered the crowd to disperse whereupon a thousand people had answered him with one voice asking who he was that he should give such an order he announced his Rank and authority to which the answer was we only know the prefect by his clothes now it had unfortunately happened that mour de Shaman having sent his trunks by diligence they had not yet arrived and being dressed in a green coat an Keen trousers and a peak vest it could hardly be expected that in such a suit he should overall the people under the circumstances so when he got up on a bench to Harang the populace cries arose of down with the green coat we have enough of charlatans like that and he was forced to get down again as F opened the door to let him in several men took advantage of the circumstance to push in along with him but F let his fist fall three times and three men rolled at his feet like Bulls struck by a club the others withdrew a dozen Champions such as F would have saved the Marshall yet it must not be forgotten that this man was a royalist and held the same opinions as those against whom he fought for him as for them the Marshall was a mortal enemy but he had a noble heart and if the the Marshall were guilty he desired a trial and not a murder meantime a certain onlooker had heard what had been said to mure Des Shaman about his unofficial costume and had gone to put on his uniform this was mour de a handsome and venerable old man with white hair Pleasant expression and winning voice he soon came back in his mayor's robes wearing his scarf and his double cross of St Louis and the Legion of Honor but neither his age nor his dignity made the slight impression on these people they did not even allow him to get back to the hotel door but knocked him down and trampled him underfoot so that he hardly escaped with torn clothes and his white hair covered with dust and blood the fury of the mob had now reached its height at this juncture The Garrison of Aon came in sight it was composed of 400 volunteers who formed a battalion known as the Royal angula it was commanded by a man who had assumed the title of Lieutenant General of the emancipating army of vusa these forces Drew up under the windows of the palet Royale they were composed almost entirely of provino and spoke the same dialect as the people of the lower orders the crowd asked the soldiers for what they had come why they did not leave them to accomplish an act of Justice in peace and if they intended to interfere quite the contrary said one of the soldiers pitch him out of the window and we will catch him on the points of our bayonets brutal cries of Joy greeted this answer succeeded by a short silence but it was easy to see that under the apparent calm the crowd was in a state of eager expectation soon new shouts were heard but this time from the interior of the hotel a small band of men led by forgus and Roa for had separated themselves from the throng and by the help of ladders had scaled the walls and got on the roof of the house and gliding down the other side had dropped into the balcony outside the windows of the rooms where the Marshall was writing some of these dashed Through the Windows without waiting to open them others rushed in at the open door the Marshall thus taken by surprise Rose and not wishing that the letter he was writing to the Austrian commandant to claim his protection should fall into the hands of these wretches he tore it to Pieces then a man who belonged to a better class than the others and who wears today the cross of the Legion of Honor granted to him perhaps for his conduct on this occasion Advanced towards the Marshall sword in hand and told him if he had any last arrangements to make he should make them at once for he had only 10 minutes to live what are you thinking of exclaimed forgus 10 minutes did he give the princessa de Lala 10 minutes and he pointed his pistol at the Marshall's breast but the Marshall striking up the weapon the shot missed its aim and buried itself in the ceiling clumsy fellow said the Marshall shrugging his shoulders not to be able to kill a man at such a close range that's true replied rort in his patah I'll show you how to do it and receding a a step he took aim with his carbine at his victim whose back was partly towards him a report Was Heard and the Marshall fell dead on the spot the bullet which entered at the shoulder going right through his body and striking the opposite wall the two shots which had been heard in the street made the howling mob dance for joy one cowardly fellow called Catalan rushed out on one of the balconies which looked on the Square and holding a loaded pistol in each hand which he had not dared to discharge even into the dead body of the murder man he cut a caper and holding up the innocent weapons called out these have done the business but he lied the brager and boasted of a crime which was committed by braver Cutthroats than he behind him came the general of the emancipating army of bakuza who graciously saluting the crowd said the Marshall has carried out an act of Justice by taking his own life shouts of mingled Joy revenge and hatred Rose from the crowd and the King's attorney and the exam exing magistrate set about drawing up a report of the suicide now that all was over and there was no longer any question of saving the Marshall mour Mulan desired at least to save the valuables which he had in his Carriage he found in a cash boox 40,000 Franks in the pockets a snuff box set with diamonds and a pair of pistols and two swords the hilt of one of these latter was studded with precious stones a gift from the ill starred Saleem mour Mulan returned across the court carrying these things the Damascus blade was wrenched from his hands and the robber kept it 5 years as a trophy and it was not until the year 1820 that he was forced to give it up to the representative of the Marshall's Widow yet this man was an officer and kept his rank all through the restoration and was not dismissed the Army till 1830 when mono Mulan had placed the other objects in safety he requested the magistrate to have the corpse removed as he wished the crowds to disperse that he might look after to the aid to Camp while they were undressing the Marshall in order to certify the cause of death a leather and belt was found on him containing 5,536 Franks the body was carried downstairs by the grav diggers without any opposition being offered but hardly had they Advanced 10 yards into the square when shouts of to the rone to the rone resounded on all sides a police officer who tried to interfere was knocked down the bearers were ordered to turn round they obeyed and the crowd carried them off towards the wooden bridge when the 14th Arch was reached the beer was torn from the bearer's hands and the corpse was flung into the river military honors shouted someone and all who had guns fired at the dead body which was twice struck tomb of Marshall Brun was then written on the arch and the crowd withdrew and passed the rest of the day in Holiday making meanwhile the rone refusing to be an accomplice in such a crime bore away the corpse which the Assassins believed had been swallowed up forever next day it was found on the Sandy Shore at tascal but the news of the murder had preceded it and it was recognized by the wounds and pushed back again into the waters which bore it toward the sea three leagues farther on it stopped again this time by a grassy bank and was found by a man of 40 and another of 18 they also recognized it but instead of shoving it back into the current they drew it up gently on the bank and carried it to a small property belonging to one of them where they reverently interred it the Elder of the two was mour chart trusa the younger moner amade pisho the body was exhumed by order of the Marshall's Widow and brought to her castle of St Jon champagne she had it embalmed and placed in a bedroom adjoining her own where it remained covered only by a veil until the memory of the deceased was cleansed from the accusation of suicide by a solemn public trial and judgment then only it was finally interred along with the parchment containing the decision of the court of riom the Ruffians who killed Marshall Bruna although they evaded the justice of men did not escape the Vengeance of God nearly every one of them came to a miserable end roord and fargus were attacked by strange and hitherto unknown diseases recalling the plagues sent by God on the peoples whom he desired to punish in bygone ages in the case of fargus his his skin dried up and became horny causing him such intense irritation that as the only means of allaying it he had to be kept buried up to the neck while still alive the disease under which Roa for suffered seemed to have its seat in the marrow for his bones by degrees lost all solidity and power of resistance so that his limbs refused to bear his weight and he went about the streets crawling like a serpent both died in such Dreadful torture that they regretted having a

scavenger and faithful to his vocation as a dealer of death a poisoner of straight dogs some of these Cutthroats are still living in fill good positions wearing crosses and epolets and rejoicing in their impunity imagining they have escaped the eye of God we shall wait and see end of chapter 8 it was on Saturday that the white flag was hoisted at nees the next day a crowd of Catholic peasants from the environs marched into the city to await the arrival of the royalist Army from bokare excitement was at fever heat the desire of Revenge filled every breast the hereditary hatred which had slumbered during the Empire again awoke stronger than ever here I may pause to say that in the account which follows of the events which took place about this time I can only guarantee the facts and not the dates I relate everything as it happened but the day on which it happened May sometimes have escaped my memory for it is easier to recollect a murder to which one has been an eyewitness than to recall the exact date on which it happened the Garrison of nemes was composed of one battalion of the 13th Regiment of the line and another Battalion of the 79th regiment which not being up to its full War strength had been sent to nemes to complete its numbers by enlistment but after the battle of watero the citizens had tried to induce the soldiers to Desert so that of the two battalions even counting the officers only about 200 men remained when the news of the Proclamation of Napoleon II reached nemes Brigadier General malmont commandant of the department had him proclaimed in the city without any disturbance being caused thereby it was not until some days later that a report began to be circulated that a royal Army was gathering at boair and that the populists would take advantage of its arrival to indulge in excesses in the face of this two-fold danger General malmont had ordered the regular troops troups and a part of the National Guard of the hundred days to be drawn up under arms in the rear of the barracks upon an Eminence on which he had mounted five pieces of ordinance this disposition was maintained for two days and a night but as the populace remained quiet the troops returned to the barracks and the guards to their homes but on Monday a concourse of people who had heard that the Army from boair would arrive the next day made a hostile demonstration before the barracks demanding with shouts and threats that the five cannons should be handed over to them the general and the officers who were quartered in the town hearing of the tumult repaired at once to the barracks but soon came out again and approaching the crowd tried to persuade it to disperse to which the only answer they received was a shower of bullets convinced by this as he was well acquainted with the character of the people with whom he had to deal that the struggle had begun in Earnest and must be fought out to The Bitter End the general retreated with his officer steep by step to the barracks and having got inside the gates closed and bolted them he then decided that it was his duty to repulse Force by force for everyone was determined to defend at no matter what the cost a position which from the first moment of Revolt was fraught with such Peril so without waiting for orders the soldiers seeing that some of their Windows had been broken by shots from without returned the fire and being better Marksman than the town's people soon laid many low upon this the alarmed crowd retired out of musket range and entrenched themselves in some neighboring houses about 9:00 in the evening a man bearing something resembling a white flag approached the walls and asked to speak to the general he brought a message inquiring on what terms the troops would consent to evacuate nemes the general sent back word that the conditions were that the troops should be allowed to March out fully armed and with all their baggage the five guns alone would be left behind when the forces reached a certain Valley outside the city they would halt that the men might be supplied with means sufficient to enable them either to rejoin the regiments to which they belonged or to return to their homes at 2:00 a.m. the same Envoy returned and announced to the general that the conditions had been accepted with one alteration which was that the troops before marching out should lay down their harms the messenger also intimated that if the offer he had brought were not quickly accepted say within 2 hours the time for capitulation would have gone by and that he would not be answerable for what the people might then do in their Fury the General accepted the conditions as amended and the envoy disappeared when the troops heard of the agreement that they should be disarmed before being allowed to leave the town their first impulse was to refuse to lay down their weapons before a rabble which had run away from a few musket shots but the general succeeded in soothing their sense of humiliation ation and winning their consent by representing to them that there could be nothing dishonorable in an action which prevented the children of a common Fatherland from shedding each other's blood the jeand according to one article of the treaty were to close in at the rear of the evacuating column and thus hinder the populace from molesting the troops of which it was composed this was the only concession obtained in return for the abandoned arms and the fars in question was already drawn up in field order order apparently waiting to escort the troops out of the city at 4:00 p.m. the troops got ready each company stacking its arms in the courtyard before marching out but hardly had 40 or 50 Men passed the gates then fire was opened on them at such close range that half of them were killed or disabled at the first volley upon this those who were still within the walls closed the courtyard Gates thus cutting off all chance of retreat from their comrades in the event however it turned out that several of the the latter contrived to escape with their lives and that they lost nothing through being prevented from returning for as soon as the mob saw that 10 or 12 of their victims had slipped through their hands they made a furious attack on the barracks burst in the gates and scaled the walls with such rapidity that the soldiers had no time to repossess themselves of their muskets and even had they succeeded in seizing them they would have been of little use as the ammunition was totally wanting the barracks being thus carried by assault a horrible Massacre ensued which lasted for 3 hours some of The Wretched men being hunted from room to room jumped out of the first window they could reach without stopping to measure its height from the ground and were either impaled on the bayonets held in Readiness below or falling on the pavement broke their limbs and were pitilessly dispatched the je who had really been called out to protect the retreat of the garison seemed to imagine they were there to witness a Judicial execution and stood immovable and impassive while these horrid Deeds went on before their eyes but the penalty of this indifference was swiftly exacted for as soon as the soldiers were all done with the mob finding their thirst for blood still UNS slacked turned on the jeand the greater number of whom were wounded while all lost their horses and some their lives the populace was still engaged at its bloody task when the news came that the Army from boair was within sight of the town and the murderers hastening to dispatch some of the wounded who still showed Signs of Life went forth to meet the long expected reinforcements only those who saw the advancing army with their own eyes can form any idea of its condition and appearance the first cor is accepted this core was commanded by mure deara who had put himself at its head with the noble purpose of preventing as far as he could Massacre and pillage in this he was seconded by the officers under him who were actuated by the same philanthropic motives as their General in identifying themselves with the core owing to their exertions the men advanced in Fairly regular order and good discipline was maintained all the men carried muskets but the first core was only a kind of Vanguard to the second which was the real army and a wonderful thing to see and hear never were brought together before or since so many different kinds of howl so many threats of death so many Rags so many odd weapons from the matchlock of the time of the michelada to the steel tipped go of the bullcock Drovers of laamar so that when the memes mob which in all conscience was howling and ragged enough rushed out to offer a brotherly welcome to the strangers its first feeling was one of astonishment and dismay as it caught sight of the mly crew which held out to it the right hand of Fellowship the newcomers soon showed that it was through necessity and not choice that their outer man presented such a disreputable appearance for they were hardly well within the gates before demanding that the houses of the members of the old Protestant National Guard should be pointed out to them this being done they promptly proceeded to exact from each household a musket a coat a complete kit or a sum of money according to their humor so that before evening those who had arrived naked and penniless were provided with complete uniforms and had money in their pockets these exactions were levied under the name of a contribution but before the day was ended naked and un disguised pillage began someone asserted that during the assault on the barracks a certain individual had fired out of a certain house on the as salant the indignant people now rushed to the house indicated and soon left nothing of it in existence but its walls a little later it was clearly proved that the individual accused was quite innocent of the crime laid to his charge the house of a rich Merchant lay in the path of the advancing Army a cry arose that the owner was a bonapartist and nothing more was needed the house was broken into and pillaged and the furniture thrown out of the windows 2 days later it turned out that Not only was the merchant no bonapartist but that his son had been one of those who had accompanied the Duke dangua to set when he left the country the pillagers excused themselves by saying they had been misled by a resemblance between two names and this excuse as far as appears was accepted as valid by the authorities it was not long before the populace of nemes began to think they might as well follow the example set them by their brothers from bokare in 24 hours free companies were formed headed by treston truini graphon and mor these bands arrogated to themselves the title of National Guard and then what took place at Marseilles in the excitement of the moment was repeated at nemes with deliberation and Method inspired by hate and the desire of Vengeance a Revolt broke out which followed the ordinary course course first pillage then fire then murder laid waste the city mour V's house which stood in the middle of the town was sacked and then burnt to the ground without a hand being raised to prevent the crime mour T's house on the road to mon pelier was sacked and wrecked and a bonfire made of the furniture round which the crowd danced as if it had been an occasion of public rejoicing then cries were raised for the proprietor that he might be killed and as he could not not be found the baffled Fury of the mob vented itself on the dead a Child 3 months buried was dragged from its grave drawn by the feet through the sewers and Wayside puddles and then flung on a dung Heap and strange to say while incendiarism and sacrilege thus ran Riot the mayor of the place slept so sound that when he awoke he was quite astonished to use his own expression to hear what had taken place during the night this Expedition completed the same company which had brought this expedition to a successful issue next turned their attention to a small country house occupied by a widow whom I had often begged to take refuge with us but secure in her insignificance she had always declined our offers preferring to live solitary and retired in her own home but the free booters sought her out burst in her doors drove her away with blows and insults destroyed her house and burnt her furniture they then then proceeded to the vault in which lay the remains of her family dragged them out of their coffins and Scattered them about the fields the next day the poor woman ventured back collected the desecrated remains with Pious care and replaced them in the vault but this was counted to her as a crime the company returned once more cast forth the contents of the coffins and threatened to kill her should she dare to touch them again she was often seen in the days that followed shedding bitter tears and watching over the sacred relics as they lay Exposed on the ground the name of this Widow was pepen and the scene of the sacrilege was a small enclosure on the hill of the Mulan aamp meantime the people in the furg Des borada had invented a new sort of game or rather had resolved to vary the serious business of the drama that was being enacted by the introduction of comic scenes they had possessed themselves of a number of Beatles such as washer women use and hammered in Long Nails the points of which projected an inch on the other side in the form of a Flur every Protestant who fell

venerable priest called K bonom when the Cutthroat rushed in all covered with blood the priest Advanced and stopped him crying what will happen unhappy man when you come to the confessional with Blood Stained hands poo replied treston you must put on your your wide gown the sleeves are large enough to let everything pass to the short account given above of so many murders I will add The Narrative of one to which I was an eyewitness and which made the most terrible impression on Me of anything in my experience it was midnight I was working beside my wife's bed she was just becoming drowsy when a noise in the distance caught our attention it gradually became more distinct and drums began to beat the generali in every direction hiding my own alarm for fear of increasing hers I answered my wife who was asking what new thing was about to happen that it was probably troops marching in or out of Garrison but soon reports of firearms accompanied by an uproar with which we were so familiar that we could no longer mistake its meaning were heard outside opening my window I heard blood curdling imprecations mixed with cries of long live the king going on not being able to remain any longer in this uncertainty I woke a Captain who lived in the same house he rose took his arms and we went out together directing our course towards the point when the shouts seemed to come the moon Shone so bright that we could see everything almost as distinctly as in broad daylight a concourse of people was hurrying towards the core yelling like Mad Men the greater number of them half naked armed with muskets swords knives and clubs and swearing to exterminate everything wave their weapons above the heads of men who had evidently been torn from their houses and brought to the square to be put to death the rest of the crowd had like ourselves been drawn tither by curiosity and were asking what was going on murder is abroad was the answer several people have been killed in the environs and the patrol has been fired on while this questioning was going on the noise continued to increase as I had really no business to be on a spot where such things were going on and feeling that my place was at my wife's side to reassure her for the present and to watch over her should the riers come our way I said goodbye to the captain who went on to the barracks and took the road back to the suburb in which I lived I was not more than 50 steps from our house when I heard loud talking behind me and turning Saw gun barrels glittering in the Moonlight as the speakers seemed to be rapidly approaching me I kept close in the shadow of the houses till I reached my own door which I laid softly too behind me leaving myself a by which I could peep out and watch the movements of the group which was drawing near suddenly I felt something touch my hand it was a great corsan dog which was turned loose at night and was so Fierce that it was a great protection to our house I felt glad to have it at my side for in case of a struggle it would be no despicable Ally those approaching turned out to be three armed men leading a fourth disarmed and a prisoner they all stopped just opposite my door which I gently closed closed and locked but as I still wished to see what they were about I slipped into the garden which lay towards the street still followed by my dog contrary to his habit and as if he understood the danger he gave a low whine instead of his usual Savage growl I climbed into a fig tree the branches of which overhung the street and hidden by the leaves and resting my hands on the top of the wall I leaned far enough forward to see what the men were about they were still on the same spot but there was a change in their positions The Prisoner was now kneeling with clasped hands before the Cutthroats begging for his life for the sake of his wife and children in heart-rending accents to which his executioners replied in mocking tones we have got you at last into our hands have we you dog of a bonapartist why do you not call on your Emperor to come and help you out of this scrape the unfortunate man's entreaties became more pitiful and their mocking replies more pitiless they leveled their muskets at him several times and then lowered them saying devil take it we won't shoot yet let us give him time to see death coming till at last the poor wretch seeing there was no hope of Mercy begged to be put out of his misery drops of sweat stood on my forehead I felt my pockets to see if I had nothing on me which I could use as a weapon but I had not even a knife I looked at my dog he was lying flat at the foot of the tree and appeared to be a prey to the most abject Terror the prisoner continued his supplications and the Assassins there threats and mockery I climbed quietly down out of the Fig Tree intending to fetch my pistols my dog followed me with his eyes which seemed to be the only living things about him just as my foot touched the ground a double report rang out and my dog gave a plaintive and prolonged howl feeling that all was over and that no weapons could be of any use I climbed up again into my perch and looked out the poor wretch was lying face downwards writhing in his blood the Assassins were reloading their muskets as they walked away being anxious to see if it was too late to help the man whom I had not been able to save I went out into the street and bent over him he was Bloody disfigured dying but was yet alive uttering dismal groans I tried to lift him up but soon saw that the wounds which he had received from bullets fire at close range were both mortal one being in the head and the other in the loins just then a patrol of the National Guard turned around the corner of the street this instead of being a relief awoke me to any sense of my danger and feeling I could do nothing for the wounded man for the death rattle had already begun I entered my house half shut the door and listened quiv asked the Corporal idiot said someone else to ask quiv of a dead man he is not dead said a third voice listen to him singing and indeed the poor fellow in his Agony was giving utterance to Dreadful groans someone has tickled him well said a fourth but what does it matter we had better finish the job five or six musket shots followed and the groans ceased the name of the man who had just expired was Louie leer it was not against him but against his nephew that the Assassins had had a grudge but finding the nephew out when they burst into the house and a victim being indispensable they had torn the uncle from the arms of his wife and dragging him towards the Citadel had killed him as I have just related very early next morning I sent to three commissioners of police one after the other for permission to have the corpse carried to the hospital but these gentlemen were either not up or had already gone out so that it was not until 11:00 and after repeated applications that they condescended to give me the needed authorization thanks to this delay the whole town came to see the body of the unfortunate man indeed the day which followay Massacre was always kept as a holiday everyone leaving his work undone and coming out to stare at the slaughtered victims in this case a man wishing to amuse the crowd took his pipe out of his mouth and put it between the teeth of the corpse a joke which had a marvelous success those present shrieking with laughter many murders had been committed during the night the companies had scoured the streets singing some dogal which one of the bloody wretches being in Poetic vein had composed the chorus of which was a works well done we spare none 17 fatal outrages were committed and yet neither the reports of the Firearms nor the cries of the victims broke the peaceful Slumbers of Mur La pret and Mur laisser General de la Poli but if the Civil Authorities slept General lagarda who had shortly before come to town to take command of the City in the Name of the King was awake he had sprung from his bed at the first shot dressed himself and made a round of the posts then sure that everything was in order he had formed patrols of shur and had himself accompanied by two officers only gone wherever he heard cries for help but in spite of the strictness of his orders the small number of troops at his disposition delayed the success of his efforts and it was not until 3:00 in the morning that he succeeded in securing treston when this man was taken he was dressed as usual in the uniform of the National Guard with a cocked hat and Captain's epolets General lagarda ordered the jarms who made the capture to deprive him of his sword and carbine but it was only after a long struggle that they could carry out this order for treston protested that he would only give up his carbine with his life however he was at last obliged to yield to numbers and when disarmed was removed to the barracks but as there could be no peace in the town as long as he was in it it the general sent him to the Citadel of Mont pelier next morning before it was light the disorders did not however cease at once at 8:00 a.m. they were still going on the mob seeming to be animated by the spirit of treson for while the soldiers were occupied in a distant quarter of the Town a score of men broke into the house of a certain skon chaber who had remained hidden from his enemies for a long time but who had lately returned home on the strength of the proclamations published by General when he assumed the position of commandant of the town he had indeed been sure that the disturbances in nemes were over when they burst out with redoubled fury on the 16th of October on the morning of the 17th he was working quietly at home at his trade of a silk Weaver when alarmed by the shouts of a parcel of Cutthroats outside his house he tried to escape he succeeded in reaching the coup door but the Ruffians followed him and the first who came up thrust him through the thigh with his bayonet in consequence of this wound he fell from top to bottom of the staircase was seized and dragged to The Stables where the Assassins left him for Dead with seven wounds in his body this was however the only murder committed that day in the town thanks to the vigilance and courage of General lagarda the next day a considerable crowd gathered and a noisy deputation went to General legarda's quarters and instantly demanded that tesion should be set at Liberty the general ordered them to disperse but no attention was paid to this command whereupon he ordered his soldiers to charge and in a moment Force accomplished what long continued persuasion had failed to effect several of the Ring leaders were arrested and taken to prison thus as we shall see the struggle assumed a new phase resistance to the royal power was made in the name of the royal power and both those who broke or those who tried to maintain the public peace used the same cry long live the king the firm attitude assumed by General Garda restored nemes to a state of superficial peace beneath which however the old ennies were fermenting an occult power which betrayed Itself by a kind of passive resistance neutralized the effect of the measures taken by the military commandant he soon became cognizant of the fact that the essence of this sanguinary political Strife was in hereditary religious animosity and in order to strike a last blow at this he resolved after having received permission from the King to Grant The General request of the Protestants by reopening their places of worship which had been closed for more than 4 months and allowing the public exercise of the Protestant religion which had been entirely suspended in the city for the same length of time formerly there had been six Protestant pastors resident in nemes but four of them had fled the two who remained were MERS juliat and Olivier deal the first a young man 28 years of age the second an old man of 7 the entire weight of the ministry had fallen during this period of proscription on mour juliat who had accepted the task and religiously fulfilled it it seemed as if a special Providence had miraculously protected him in the midst of the many perils which beset his path although the other Pastor mure Deon was president of the consist his life was in much less danger for first he had reached an age which almost everywhere commands respect and then he had a son who was auten tenant in one of the royal cores Levi at boair who protected him by his name when he could not do so by his presence mour Deon had therefore little cause for anxiety as to his safety either in the streets of nemes or on the road between that and his country house but as we have said it was not so with mure juliat being young and active and having an unfaltering trust in God on him alone devolved all the sacred duties of his office from the visitation of the sick and dying to the bapti baptism of the newly born these latter were often brought to him at night to be baptized and he consented though unwillingly to make this concession feeling that if he insisted on the performance of the right by day he would compromise not only his own safety but that of others in all that concerned him personally such as consoling the dying or caring for the wounded he acted quite openly and no danger that he encountered on his way ever caused him to Flinch from the path of Duty one day as mono jul was passing through the Rue de barette on his way to the prefecture to transact some business connected with his ministry he saw several men lying in wait in a blind alley by which he had to pass they had their guns pointed at him he continued his way with tranquil step and such an air of resignation that the Assassins were over AED and lowered their weapons as he approached without firing a single shot when mour gilat reached the prefecture thinking that the prefect ought to be aware of everything connected with the public order he related this incident to mour daral jaac but the latter did not think the affair of enough importance to require any investigation it was as we be seen a difficult Enterprise to open once again the Protestant places of worship which had been so long closed in present circumstances and in face of the fact that Civil Authorities regarded such a step with disfavor but General lagarda was one of those determined characters who always act up to their conv I moreover to prepare people's minds for this stroke of religious policy he relied on the help of the Duke dangua who in the course of a tour through the South was almost immediately expected at nemes on the 5th of November the prince made his entry into the City and having read the reports of the general to the King Louis the 18th and having received positive injunctions from his uncle to pacify the unhappy provinces which he was about to visit he arrived full of the desire to display whether he felt it or not a perfect impartiality so that when the delegates from the consist were presented to him not only did he receive them most graciously but he was the first to speak of the interests of their faith assuring them that it was only a few days since he had learned with much regret that the religious Services had been suspended since the 16th of July the delegates replied that in such a time of agitation the closing of their places of worship was a measure of prudence which they had felt ought to be born and which had been born with resignation the prince expressed his approval of this attitude with regard to the past but said that his presence was a guarantee for the future and that on Thursday the 9th the two meeting houses should be reopened and restored to their proper use the Protestants were alarmed at having a favor according to them which was much more than they would have dared to ask and for which they were hardly prepared but the prince reassured them by saying that all needful measures would be taken to provide against any breach of the public peace and at the same time invited mure deont president and mour Roland lost member of the consist to dine with him the next deputation to arrive was a Catholic one and its object was to ask that treson might be set at Liberty the prince was so indignant at this request that his only answer was to turn his back on those who proferred it the next day the Duke accompanied by General leg left for on and as it was on the ladder that the Protestants placed their sole Reliance for the maintenance of those rights guaranteed for the future by the word of the prince they hesitated to take any new step in his absence and let the 9th of November go by without attempting to resume public worship preferring to wait for the return of their protector which took place on Saturday evening the 11th of November when the general got back his first thought was to ask if the commands of the prince had been carried out when he heard that they had not without waiting to hear a word on justification of the delay he sent a positive order to the president of the consist to open both places of worship the next morning upon this the president carrying self abnegation and Prudence to their extreme limits went to the General's quarters and having warmly thanked him laid before him the dangers to which he would expose himself by running counter to the opinions of those who had had their own way in the city for the last four months but General lagarda brushed all these considerations aside he had received an order from The Prince and to a man of his military cast of mind no course was open but to carry that order out nevertheless the president again expressed his doubts and fears I will answer with my head said the general that nothing happens still the president counseled Prudence asking that only one place of worship at first be opened and to this the general gave his consent this continued resistance to the reestablishment of public worship on the part of those who most eagerly desired it enabled the general at last to realize the extent of the danger which would be incurred by the carrying out of this measure and he at once took all possible precautions under the pretext that he was going to have a general review he brought the entire civil and military forces of nemes under his authority determined if necessary to use the one to suppress the other as as early as 8:00 in the morning a guard of je DARS was stationed at the doors of the meeting house while other members of the same Force took up their positions in the adjacent streets on the other hand the consist had decided that the doors were to be opened an hour sooner than usual that the bells were not to be rung and that the organ should be silent these precautions had both a good and a bad side the garms at the door of the meeting house gave if not a promise of security at least a promise of support but they showed to the citizens of the other party what was about to be done so before 9:00 groups of Catholics began to form and as it happened to be Sunday the inhabitants of the neighboring Villages arriving constantly by twos and threes soon United these groups into a little army thus the streets leading to the church being thronged the Protestants who pushed their way through were greeted with insulting remarks and even the president of the consist whose white hair and dignified expression had no effect upon the mob heard the people around him saying these brigands of Protestants are going again to their Temple but we shall soon give them enough of it the anger of the populace soon grows hot between the first bubble and the boiling point the interval is short threats spoken in a low voice were soon succeeded by noisy objurgation women children and Men break out into yells down with the broilers for this was one of the names by which the Protestants were designated down with the broilers we do not want to see them using our churches let them give us back our churches let them give us back our churches and go into the desert out with them out with them to the desert to the desert as the crowd did not go beyond words however insulting and as the Protestants were long inured to much worse things they plotted along to their meeting house humble and silent and went in undeterred by the displeasure they arose whereupon the service commenced but some Catholics went in with them and soon the same shouts which had been heard without were heard also within the general however was on the alert and as soon as the shouts arose inside the garms entered the church and arrested those who had caused the disturbance the crowds tried to rescue them on their way to prison but the general appeared at the head of imposing forces at the sight of which they desisted an apparent cam succeeded the tumult and the public worship went on without further interruption the general misled by appearances went off himself to attend a military mass and at 11:00 returned to his quarters for lunch his absence was immediately perceived and taken advantage of in the twinkling of an eye the crowds which had dispersed gathered together and even greater numbers and the Protestants seeing themselves once more in danger shut the doors from within while the jarms guarded them without the populace pressed so closely round the jarms and assumed such a threatening attitude that fearing he and his men would not be able to hold their own in such a throng the captain ordered mour delbos one of his officers to ride off and warn the general he forced his way through the crowd with great trouble and went off at a Gallop on seeing this the people felt there was no time to be lost they knew of what kind the general was and that he would be on the spot in a quarter of an hour a large crowd is Invincible through its numbers it has only to press forward and everything gives way men wood iron at this moment moment the crowd swayed by a common impulse swept forward the jeand DARS and their horses were crushed against the wall doors gave way and instantly with a tremendous Roar a living wave flooded the church cries of Terror and frightful imprecations were heard on all sides everyone made a weapon of whatever came to hand chairs and benches were hurled about the disorder was at its height it seemed as if the days of the mikada and the bagara were about to return When suddenly the news of a terrible event was spread abroad frud and as salance and ailed paused in horror General larda had just been assassinated as the crowd had foreseen no sooner did the messenger deliver his message than the general sprang on his horse and being too brave or perhaps too scornful to fear such foes he waited for no escort but accompanied by two or three officers set off at full Gallop towards the scene of the tumult he had passed through the narrow streets which led to the meeting house by pushing the crowd aside with his horse's chest when just as he got out into the open Square a young man named wasan a sergeant in the nees National Guard came up and seemed to wish to speak to him the general seeing a man in uniform bent down without a thought of danger to listen to what he had to say whereupon bason drew a pistol out and fired at him the ball broke the collarbone and lodged in the neck behind the kateed artery and the general fell from his horse the news of this crime had a strange and unexpected effect however excited and frenzied the crowd was it was instantly realized the consequences of this act it was no longer like the murder of Marshall Brun at Aenon or general raml at talo an act of Vengeance on a favorite of Napoleon but open and armed Rebellion against the king it was not a simple murder it was high treason a feeling of the utmost Terror spread through the town only a few Fanatics went on howling in the church which the Protestant fearing still greater disasters had by this time resolved to abandon the first to come out was President Olivier Deon accompanied by mure vong who had only just arrived in the city but who had immediately hurried to the spot at the Call of Duty mure juliat his two children in his arms walked behind them followed by all the other worshippers at first the crowd threatening and eful hooted and threw stones at them but at the voice of the mayor and the dignified aspect of the president they allowed them to pass during this strange Retreat over 80 Protestants were wounded but not fatally except a young girl called Janette cornellier who had been so beaten and Ill used that she died of her injuries a few days later in spite of the momentary slackening of energy which followed the assassination of General lagarda the Catholics did not remain long in a state of total inaction during the rest of the day the excited populace seemed as if shaken by an earthquake about 6:00 in the evening some of the most desperate characters in the town possessed themselves of a hatchet and taking their way to the Protestant Church smashed the doors tore the pastor's gowns rifled the POR box and pulled the books to Pieces a Detachment of troops arrived just in time to prevent their setting the building on fire the next day passed more quietly this time the disorders were of too important a nature for the prefect to ignore as he had ignored so many bloody accident in the past so in due time a full report was laid before the king it became known the same evening that General lagarda was still living and that those around him hoped that the wound would not prove mortal Dr delek Who had been summoned from Mont peler had succeeded in extracting the bullet and though he spoke no word of hope he did not expressly declare that the case was hopeless two days later everything in the town had assumed its ordinary aspect and on the 21st of November the king issued the the following edict Louie by the grace of God

Zs-j8BUt4Xo | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zs-j8BUt4Xo | Clean Sweep Ignatius (Audiobook - Short Story) by Jeffrey Archer | Clean Sweep Ignatius, a short story by Jeffrey Archer Neither the haves nor the have-nots showed much interest when Ignatius Agarbi was appointed as Nigeria’s Minister of Finance. After all, the cynics pointed out, he was the seventeenth person to hold the office in seventeen years. In Ignatius’ first major policy statement to Parliament he appealed to his fellow contrymen to tighten their belts in the face of economic problems and promised to end graft and corruption in public life and warned the electorate that no one holding an official position could feel safe unless he led a blameless life. He ended his maiden speech with the words, “I am disposed to clear out Nigeria’s Augean stables.” Such was the impact of the minister’s speech that it failed to get a mention in the Lagos Times. Perhaps the editor considered that, since the paper had covered the Speeches of the previous sixteen ministers in extenso, his readers might feel they had heard it all before. Ignatius, however, was not to be disheartened by the lack of confidence shown in him, and set about his new task with vigor and determination. Within days of his appointment he had caused a minor official at the Ministry of Food to be jailed for falsifying documents relating to the import of grain. The next to feel the bristles of Ignatius’ new broom was a leading Lebanese financier, who was deported without trial for breach of the exchange control regulations. A month later came an event which even Ignatius considered a personal coup: the arrest of the Chief of Police for accepting bribes – a perk the citizens of Lagos had in the past considered went with the job. When four months later the Police Chief was sentenced to eighteen months in jail, the new Finance Minister finally made the front page of the Lagos Times. A leader on the center page dubbed him “Clean Sweep Ignatius”, the new broom every guilty man feared. Ignatius was gaining enviable reputation as Mr. Clean as arrest followed arrest and unfounded rumours began circulating in the capital that even General Otobi, the Head of State, was under investigation by his own Finance Minister. Ignatius alone now checked, vetoed and authorized all foreign contracts worth over one hundred million dollars, making sure that the country was cutting the cloth according to its means. It wouldn’t be far-fetched to say that he was the one to hold the purse strings. And although every decision he made was meticulously scrutinized by his enemies, not a breath of scandal ever became associated with his name. When Ignatius began his second year of office as Minister of Finance even the cynics began to acknowledge his achievements. It was about this time that General Otobi felt confident enough to call Ignatius in for an unscheduled consultation. “Ignatius, I have just finished going over the latest budget report and I am alarmed by your conclusion now that most of the country is living from hand to mouth, the Exchequer is still losing millions of dollars each year in bribes paid to go-betweens by foreign companies. But have you any idea into whose pockets this money is falling? That’s what I want to know.” Ignatius sat bolt upright, his eyes never leaving the Head of State. “I suspect a great percentage of the money is ending up in private Swiss bank accounts but I am at present unable to prove it.” “Then I will give you whatever added authority you require to do so,” said General Otobi. “You can use any means you consider necessary to ferret out these villains. Start by investigating every member of my Cabinet, past and present. And show no fear or favor in your endeavors, no matter what their rank or connections.” “For such a task to have any chance of success I would need a special letter of authority signed by you, General…and the rank of Ambassador Plenipotentiary whenever I travel aboard(abroad).” “Granted.” “Thank you,” said Ignatius, rising from his own chair on the assumption that the audience was over. “You may also need this,” said the General as they walked toward the door. The Head of State handed Ignatius a small automatic pistol. “Because I suspect by now that you have almost as many enemies as I do.” Ignatius took the pistol from the soldier awkwardly, put it in his pocket and mumbled his thanks. Without the knowledge of the chairman of the State Bank in Nigeria and unhindered by any senior civil servants, Ignatius enthusiastically set about his new task. He researched alone at night, and by day discussed his findings with no one. Three months later he was ready to pounce. The Minister selected the month of August to make an unscheduled visit abroad as it was the time when most Nigerians went on holiday and his absence would therefore not be worthy of comment. He asked his permanent secretary to book him, his wife and their two children on a flight to Orlando, and to be certain that it was charged to his personal account. On the arrival the family checked into the local Marriot Hotel. He then informed his wife, without warning or explanation, that he would be spending a few days in New York on business before rejoining them for the rest of the holiday. The following morning Ignatius left his family to the mysteries of Disney World while he took a flight to New York. It was a short taxi ride from La Guardia to Kennedy, where, after a change of clothes and the purchase of a return tourist ticket for a cash, Ignatius boarded a Swissair flight for Geneva unobserved. Once in the Swiss financial capital Ignatius, either reluctant to pay through the nose for his accommodation or willing to avoid publicity, booked into an inconspicuous hotel, retired to bed and slept soundly for eight hours. Over breakfast the following morning he studied the list of banks he had so carefully drawn up after completing his research in Nigeria: each name was written out boldly in his own hand. Ignatius decided to start with Gerber et Cie whose building, he observed from the hotel bedroom, took up half the Avenue de Parchine. He checked the telephone number with the concierge before placing a call. The chairman agreed to see the Minister at twelve o’clock. Carrying only a battered briefcase, Ignatius arrived at the bank a few minutes before the appointed hour. An unusual occurrence for a Nigerian, thought the young man dressed in a smart grey suit, white shirt and grey silk tie, who was waiting in the marble hall to greet him. He bowed to the Minister, introducing himself as the chairman’s personal assistant, and explained that he would accompany Ignatius to the chairman’s office. The young executive led the Minister to a waiting lift and neither man uttered another word until they had reached the eleventh floor. A gentle tap on the chairman’s door elicited “Entrez,” which the young man obeyed. The chairman rose from behind his desk and stepped forward to greet his guest. Ignatius could not help noticing that he too wore a grey suit, white shirt and grey silk tie. “Good morning, Minister,” the chairman said. “Won’t you have a seat?” He ushered Ignatius toward a low glass table surrounded by comfortable chairs on the far side of the room. “I have ordered coffee for both of us if that is acceptable.” Ignatius nodded, placed the battered briefcase on the floor by the side of his chair and stared out of the large plate-glass window. He made some small talk about the splendid view of the magnificent fountain while a girl served all three men with coffee. Once the young woman had left the room Ignatius got down to business. “My Head of State has requested that I visit your bank with a rather unusual request,” he began. Not a flicker of surprise appeared on the face of the chairman or his young assistant. “He has honored me with the task of discovering which Nigerian citizens hold numbered accounts with your bank.” On learning this piece of information only the chairman’s lips moved. “I am not at liberty to disclose –” “Allow me to put my case,” said the Minister, raising a white palm. “First, let me assure you that I come with the absolute authority of my government.” Without another word, Ignatius extracted an envelope from his inside pocket with a flourish. He handed it to the chairman who removed the letter inside and read it slowly. Once he had finished reading, the banker cleared his throat. “This document, I fear, sir, carries no validity in my country. I am, of course,” continued the chairman, “not for one moment doubting that you have the full backing of your Head of State, as both a Minister and an Ambassador, but that does not change the bank’s rule of confidentiality in such matters. There are no circumstances in which we would release the names of any of our account holders without their authority. I’m sorry to be of so little help, but those are, and will always remain, the bank rules.” The chairman rose to his feet, as he considered the meeting was now at an end; but he had not bargained for Clean Sweep Ignatius. “My Head of State,” said Ignatius, softening his tone perceptibly, “has authorized me to approach your bank as the intermediary for all future transactions between my country and Switzerland.” “We are flattered by your confidence in us, Minister,” replied the chairman, who remained standing. “However, You cam hardly think that it can alter our attitude to our customer’s confidentiality.” Ignatius remained unperturbed. “Then I am sorry to inform you, Mr. Gerber, that our Ambassador in Bern will be instructed to make an official communiqué to the Swiss Foreign Office about the lack of cooperation your bank has shown concerning requests for information about our nationals.” He waited for his words to sink in. “You could avoid such embarrassment, of course, by simply letting me know the names of my countrymen who hold accounts with Gerber et Cie and the amounts involved. I can assure you we would not reveal the source of our information.” “You are most welcome to lodge such a communiqué, sir, and I feel sure that our Minister will explain to your Ambassador in the most courteous of diplomatic terms that it is just impossible to demand such disclosures.” “If that is the case, I shall instruct my own Ministry of Trade to halt all future dealings in Nigeria with any Swiss nationals until these names are revealed.” “That is your privilege, Minister,” replied the chairman, unmoved. “And we may also have to reconsider every contract currently being negotiated by your countrymen in Nigeria. And in addition I shall personally see to it that no penalty clauses are honored.” “Would you not consider such action a little precipitate?” “Let me assure you, Mr. Gerber, that I would not lose one moment of sleep over such a decision,” said Ignatius. “Even if my efforts to discover those names were to bring your company to its knees I would not be moved.” “So be it, Minister,” replied the chairman. “However, it still does not alter the policy or the attitude of this bank to confidentiality.” “If that remains the case, sir, this very day I shall provide our Ambassador with the instruction to close our Embassy in Bern and I shall declare your Ambassador in Lagos persona non grata.” For the first time the chairman raised his eyebrows. “Furthermore,” continued Ignatius, “I will hold a conference in London which will leave the world’s press in no doubt of my Head of State’s displeasure with the conduct of this bank. After such publicity I am sure some of your clients will close their accounts, while others who have in the past considered you a safe heaven may find it necessary to look elsewhere.” The Minister waited but still the chairman did not respond. “Then you leave me no choice,” said Ignatius, rising from his seat. The chairman stretched out his hand, assuming that at last the Minister was leaving, only to watch with horror as Ignatius placed a hand in his jacket pocket and removed a small pistol. The two Swiss bankers froze as the Nigerian Minister of Finance stepped forward and pressed the muzzle against the chairman’s temple. “I need those names, Mr. Gerber, and by now you must realize I will stop at nothing. If you don’t supply them immediately I’m going to blow your brains out. Do you understand?” The chairman gave a slight nod, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. “And he will be next,” said Ignatius, gesturing toward the young assistant, who stood speechless and paralyzed a few paces away. “Get me the names of every Nigerian who holds an account in this bank,” Ignatius said quietly, looking toward the young man, “or I’ll blow your chairman’s brains all over his soft carpet. Immediately, do you hear me?” Ignatius added sharply. The young man looked toward the chairman, who was now trembling but said quite clearly, “Non, Pierre, jamais.” “D’accord,” replied the assistant in a whisper. “You can’t say I didn’t give you every chance,” Ignatius pulled back the hammer. The sweat was now pouring down the chairman’s face and the young man had to turn his eyes away as he waited in terror for the pistol shot. “Excellent,” said Ignatius, as he removed the gun from the chairman’s head and returned to his seat. Both bankers were still trembling and quite unable to speak. The Minister picked up the battered briefcase by the side of his chair and placed it on the glass table in front of him. He pressed back the clasps and the lid flicked up. The two bankers stared down at the neatly packed rows of hundred dollar bills. Every inch of the briefcase had been taken up. The chairman quickly estimated that it probably amounted to around five million dollars. “I wonder, sir,” said Ignatius, “how I go about opening an account with your bank?” | Kenneth D'silva | UCuZWB1Rx0nYh7xYnftsVKag | 2020-04-19 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 2,364 | 13,672 |

So hyperlexia is defined by verywellfamily.com as a syndrome characterized by an intense fascination with letters or numbers and an advanced reading ability. Children who have hyperlexia read at levels far beyond their expected age. Sounds like it's pretty much all sunshine and roses, but there are a few catches to this and we're going to dive into those. So I started reading and speaking simultaneously on my own at, around the age of one and a half years old. Um, and I surprise my parents because I just started reading out signs from the backseat of the car one day and I was reading the map. And they were like, huh? I didn't know that they could do that. That's kind of interesting. Uh, I self taught myself to read because I was obsessed with words. Adults were reading to me before bed and reading books to me and putting their finger on the words as they read. And somehow, and my small little one-year-old brain thought that, Oh, because they are reading it lets them. Speak. And I was like, I'm lost master these words and that it will let me learn to speak. And I guess in my case, that actually was very true. I started to memorize the words, uh, and then I also started to speak at around the same time. As a young person I had a very. Large vocabulary, which often was delightful. It was a great parlor trick for adults. People thought, Oh gosh, they're so smart. It's so cute. Um, but there were, there were some issues with this. Uh, people often overestimated me and my maturity because, because I was a little child with an extremely large vocabulary. I sometimes would pick up and read words that I didn't actually understand or comprehend. Uh, and even now as an adult, you know, despite the fact that, you know, I was reading like 12th grade books in middle school and elementary school, and I read very very, very, very quickly now. Uh, I digest books. I digest things I read, I digest things I read so fast that I am a terrible proofreader, and this is something I struggle with in the workplace and in life even now, because when I read something, I read the words like - it's like, I can't even explain how fast I read. It's like the word - I don't, I don't read phonetically. I don't sound things out. I read, you know, like a sentence in paragraphs at a time it's just gone. Uh, I don't know many people that read as fast as I do. Um, but like, it makes, it makes proofreading really, really difficult for me. So that's like my biggest downfall is I have even taking classes. To make me a better proofreader and I'm doing my best. And I, if you see my tweets, no, my best is full of typos. Thank you so much for hanging out with me this week and learning about my personal experience, uh, as a hyperlexic autistic adult, because. Hyperlexia is something that is more common in the autistic population. I hope you found this video helpful. And if you did, please give me a thumbs up or hit share in case somebody else might also find this educational. I will talk to you guys next week.

a3Kw-GwzjTw | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3Kw-GwzjTw | Doric Greek | Wikipedia audio article | doric or durian was an ancient Greek dialect its variants were spoken in the southern and eastern Peloponnese as well as in sicily a Pyrus southern italy crete rhodes some islands in the southern Aegean Sea and some cities on the southeast coast of Anatolia together with Northwest Greek it forms the western group of classical Greek dialects by Hellenistic times under the Achaean League and Achaean Doric coin a language appeared exhibiting many peculiarities common to all Doric dialects which delayed the spread of the Attic based coin Greek to the Peloponnese until the 2nd century BC it is widely accepted that Doric originated in the mountains of Epirus in northwestern Greece the original seed of the Dorian's it was expanded to all other regions during the Dorian invasion see 1150 BC and the colonization's that followed the presence of a Doric state doris in central greece north of the gulf of corinth led to the theory that Doric had originated in northwest greece or maybe beyond in the balkans the dialect distribution towards the north extends to the Megerian colony of Byzantium and the corinthian colonies of Potidaea epidamnus Apollonia and ambrosia there it further added words to what would become the Albanian language probably via traders from a now extinct illyrian intermediary local epigraphic xi as restricted to the decrees of the EPI wrote a league and the Pella curse tablet both in the early 4th century BC as well to the Doric eponym Machado's first attested in Macedonia early 5th century BC topic variants topic Doric proper we're the Doric dialect group fits in the overall classification of ancient Greek dialects depends to some extent on the classification several views are stated under Greek dialects the prevalent theme of most views listed there as that Doric is a subgroup of West Greek some use the terms northern Greek or Northwest Greek instead the geographic distinction is only verbal and ostensibly Asmus name all of Doric was spoken south of southern Greek or southeastern Greek be that as it may northern Greek is based on a presumption that Dorian's came from the north and on the fact that Doric is closely related to Northwest Greek when the distinction began is not known all the northerners might have spoken one dialect at the time of the Dorian invasion certainly Doric could only have further differentiated into its classical dialects when the Dorian's were in place in the south thus West Greek is the most accurate name for the classical dialects Ciccone n' a descendant of laconian Doric Spartan is still spoken on the southern argillite coast of the Peloponnese in the modern prefectures of Arcadia and Laconia today it is a source of considerable interest to linguists and an endangered dialect the dialects of the doric group are as follows topic laconian laconian was spoken by the population of Laconia in the southern Peloponnese and also by its colonies teruntum in Heraclea in Magna Graecia Sparta was the seed of ancient Laconia laconian as attested in inscriptions on pottery and stone from the seventh century BC a dedication to Helen dates from the second quarter of the seventh century teruntum was founded in 706 and its founders must already have spoken laconic many documents from the

positioned on an international trade route corinth played a leading part in the resizing of greece after the centuries of disorder and isolation following the collapse of Mycenaean Greece topic northwest Greek the Northwest Greek group as closely related to Doric proper while sometimes there is no distinction between Doric and the Northwest Greek whether it is to be considered a part of the

08T4wU5PFm0 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08T4wU5PFm0 | Myths About Therapy Busted By Muslim Therapists | Ustadha Dr. Rania Awaad | a very warm welcome on behalf of madison which we're going to tell you a little bit about today inshaallah and great thanks to the mcc east bay our host masha'allah for having this open house inshallah tonight i'm really excited to tell you about this non-profit organization that we have worked very hard to build alhamdulillah as a community in this last year and a half we'll share with you a little bit about the background why what inspired us to do this work then we will talk a little bit about the logistics what exactly does madison offer to the community and then each of our therapists will spend a little bit of time introducing themselves and also talking a little bit about the topic for tonight which is myth busting relating to therapy inshallah so that is our plan for this evening before aisha comes in and then after aisha will stick around as a team to have some questions and discussion with anybody who would like to have some one-on-one discussions insha'allah so with that inshallah we'll begin i'm going to start inshallah i'm going to take us back into a little bit of history and i'll tell you that two weeks ago today i was in turkey in istanbul turkey actually the name has changed and it was doing some field research some of you may know that i have a lab at stanford university called the muslim mental health and islamic psychology lab and of the many things that we do in this lab one of the main things we research are the historical islamic understandings of mental health and psychology animo nephs or the study of the self the word psychology if you break down its greek origins psyche means the self or the spirit logia means the study of so really the original understanding of psychology was also the study of the self for me there's a long story that i we don't have time to get into today of how it is i even got into this field and how it is that i was very curious what did the early muslims have to say related to the field of psychology i grew up in a community that largely did not welcome psychology very much felt that this was a western concept that had nothing to do with us muslims and there was really no discussion about what was the muslim heritage related to this field long story short some of the research and kind of early beginnings of my own work was to pull from the early sources to understand what did the early muslims talk about related to this field did they even we know that they had advances in medicine advances in science advances in the humanities but did they really talk about psychology i had never heard anything like this growing up i don't know if any of you had but i certainly hadn't i had heard about all the other advances and so that search led to lots of searching within manuscripts islamic manuscripts to really understand the early origins and from that and this is very important because it has directly something to do with the name of our organization inshaallah and what inspires us what i found was a beautiful and it was a long journey but a beautiful one in which i found our early scholars not only discussed the concept that today we call psychology but they were so advanced in this topic they wrote extensively from multiple disciplines not just for medicine like today psychology is typically housed in the sciences in the medical sciences whereas our scholars talked about medicine and the sciences and biology and all the rest of it but they also talked about from a theological perspective they also spoke about it from a perspective of the solute or purification of the self and all of these disciplines came together to form the field that they called anunnas or the study of the self and so the islamic understanding is very holistic it talks about mind body and soul and many times people will talk about today modern psychology has lost its soul honestly we focus so much on what we can see under an fmri machine and point to and talk about hormones and biology and we no longer talk about the actual soul that sometimes need purification and so long story short all of this theory that i read which is very important led me to the next question if they had if the early scholars had all this theory what did they do with it did they build anything meaningful with it did they develop therapies and treatments or do they just theoretically write about it the beautiful thing about our scholars is that and this is i love the saying the english saying the proof is in the pudding if you really want to know if something that's theoretical actually holds its weight you have to taste the pudding and see if the recipe actually makes a good pudding so their theory their recipes if you will made a wonderful thing because they developed something called the madistans what are the madisons the longer term is called be madistan now those of you who speak farsi or speak urdu know that the word bimar means a sick person stan is the location of in arabic right same concept the location or place of what healing these were healing institutions the early islamic hospitals what was amazing to me is the greeks and the romans that came before the muslims did not have hospitals like this they had centers where they brought in people who were sick and they also sent people who were sick if you will to people of religion but they didn't have this holistic understanding that we today have in the madisons that the muslims had in the mirror stands what did they muslims do that was unique and different they talked medicine actual treatment they talked therapy yes talk therapy and that's something we're going to talk about today was really promoted by the early muslims did you know that about your own heritage subhanallah i didn't know that either at all amazing that was what we discovered and we've written about this in our papers and our research and thirdly they created healing institutions bimada stands or the latin eyes shortened word is madistan it's a little easier to say in english madistan and these madistans went wherever islam went just like anywhere islam once you find masjids places of prayer you find madrasas places of islamic learning you also find madisons everywhere islam went this concept went so whether you're in morocco or in spain whether you're in egypt or you're in turkey whether you're in bosnia yes or uzbekistan as far reaches as islam went so did the meristems yet we don't know too much about this and these healing institutions were so unique and this is what inspired us for the name they're the first in human history to have inside of their hospitals a section dedicated to the treatment of mental health and psychiatry the muslims were the first to have psychiatric treatments in their hospital systems way before europe way before this caught on anywhere else it was the muslims why that's the question that i want as a researcher to figure out what is it you look at now we go back to the scholars you look at their writings and they'll tell you why they'll quote to you the hadith of the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam in which he talks about if allah subhanahu ta'ala sends down an illness he also sends its cure or it's treatment there's two narrations they talk about how allah subhanahu wata'ana is not going to test us with more than we can bear they talk about in their writings that the thing that inspires them is the fact that the prophet muhammad sallallahu alaihi sallam himself set up the first of the madisons which is a mobile madistan anywhere the razawat or the the wars the the battles went he had a mobile clinic that went with it to help those who were injured and then they just became stable institutions and eventually they became standalone psychiatric institutions i can talk about this for ages and we probably need its own lecture for its own hour but i wanted to introduce to you the concept introduce you the name introduce you what inspired us to call our work madistan today inshallah as i passed the mic you'll hear from all the rest on my panel here in sha allah about what to how that was the history of the muslims how are we reviving it how are we reviving our heritage how are we rewriting the narrative and how are we bringing this to life inshallah here in the bay area but my goal is to really revive these medicines and the concept behind them and bridge it to modern medicine and modern psychology this is the dream insha allah i hope you'll invest with us in this dream insha allah and i hope you'll benefit from the services to offer and inshaallah i'm going to introduce to you my deputy director at madison in she's going to tell you more about what exactly we offer barakallahu thikum you can have this too thank you dr anya so now that you've had this opportunity to be rooted in what our islamic heritage and civilization has looked like i'm here to talk a little bit with you about maharastan's aramara stuns family tree and also give you a snapshot of what it looks like today in terms of our programmatic areas and what we offer to the community and so the idea behind this mara-san was conceived in early 2021 and as you can imagine it was right in the middle of the pandemic and there were two organizations one of which dr rania already mentioned the muslim mental health and islamic psychology lab at stanford university and the community advisory board which focused on muslim mental health in the bay area community both of which were directed by dr anya so there's that common denominator um and all of our board members actually uh were a part of both of those organizations so this idea was conceived in early 2021 from these two parent organizations and um and the community advisory board was essentially a kind of a consortium of different community leaders community activists and clinicians who are dedicated to the issue of muslim mental health in a variety of areas and just to give you a sense of how diverse that organization was one of our board members dr mohammed rajabali whom you all know is a dentist and then myself i'm an immigration attorney and you might ask yourselves what is an immigration attorney doing here and what i would say is that my work with asylum clients with family-based immigration cases and also with domestic violence cases often intersected with mental health and so i was continually coming up and and realizing that this was a really salient issue for my clients and that they needed someone who linguistically culturally and religiously understood their needs in order to get the mental health care that they needed to get the objective that they wanted for their legal case and then the stanford lab as many of you may know and if you haven't had a chance to take a look at that website please do is a world-class research lab that focuses on a number of very fascinating topics um some of which do overlap with what we what we do at maharastan and so i'm going to bring up the pandemic again sometimes i say when you know we were in the middle of the pandemic well it hasn't quite ended yet right so it's it was in the first year when we realized that there was such a critical mental health vacuum in the bay area many of us could feel how acute it was right mental health maybe for the first time as far as i could see was taking a real center stage at the national level and in fact uh president biden recently uh named a national mental health crisis in this country so there was a lot going on for many of us we were dealing with tests in our marriage our children were going through remote learning um and we're you know overdosing on screens and we're feeling lonely and alienated and then for many of us in the remote work setting we were also feeling um somewhat uh you know somewhat disconnected from the rest of the community and so this made the issue that much stronger for the rest of us and so a group of us came together and realized okay we need to do something about this and and help fill that void and so maharastan was born and we have a number of programmatic areas uh in maharastan and in the i think it's been 16 months which makes maraston a toddler right now so in the 16 months that marastan's been born we have a mental health clinic which we're going to be talking about tonight and um dani my colleague is going to be discussing that we also have the muslim mental health initiative which is at uc berkeley and also at stanford university and i think one i will also be covering that and then we've had healing circles and learning circles and a number of workshops and trainings and so this is the focus of the educational arm and just to give you um you know kind of a quick uh if in case you haven't seen our website it's maharastan.org but here's our mission grounded in islamic traditions those same traditions that dr rania speaks of maharastan aims to lead in professional clinical care education and research in advancing holistic spiritual and mental uh health wellness for the community so um so with the educational arms we've had so many interesting programs we started having these pop-up healing circles in which um in response to emergent crises around the world we would have clinicians and leading voices scholars and different types of like mental health professionals come together and discuss kind of what the impact is for us as a community so we've talked about crises in afghanistan crisis in palestine spiritual abuse domestic violence and race and neglect just to name a few we've had learning circles which are regular programs that kind of are community-focused psycho-educational programs again focused on the holistic and mental health needs of the community and some of the topics we've had are navigating family dynamics during the holidays the early signs of psychiatric disorders and black muslim mental health experiences and wellness and then finally we've had a number of trainings um and workshops the topics there that we've covered have been addiction and suicide and our signature training which you might have heard of is called our 500 imam training now those 500 imams includes sheikhas and ostadas they include chaplains they include board members and islamic school teachers and youth leaders basically any community gatekeeper that needs to know about suicide prevention intervention and postvention and so partnering again with the stanford lab we were able to take their years of research this 100 page manual and then digest it and make it accessible for the community ultimately to help save lives and so we've launched that training we've already had um a winter uh training which was a virtual training we've had a spring training i'm sorry a summer training which just occurred in minnesota and we have a few other trainings coming up please stay tuned and i'm going to pass the torch over to mona to discuss the clinical arms of maharastan inshallah it's not often that i get to raise the mic so that was very exciting oh that's not working okay we'll just um leave it right there okay um everybody i will um i my focus for today is to really um you know talk about our clinic that we've we did a soft launch for the clinic back in october and so it's really exciting to come kind of and be here today and talk to the community about where we've come since opening but also since october where our clinic officially had launched in its soft launch phase and then i'm going to spend some time talking about our muslim mental health initiative where we hold two contracts both with the university of california berkeley and stanford university i'll talk about mmhi first so the muslim mental health initiative i'll refer to as mmhi um so i'll start with berkeley berkeley is a contract that's been held for a while actually and meristem took over the contract and really what we offer is consultative services to the muslim student body and we tie that in with workshops support groups and then training for uni the university staff members and how to work with muslim clients the adverse experiences that muslims face um regarding their faith sometimes regarding this their you know the color of their skin and it's you know it's a really important service in that um inshallah most of us here have gone through college or you know just about and so understanding the various transitions that you might face during your college years either as a first year or a second year and really even in your last year where you're trying to figure out you know what's the next step for me um in in my educational journey or just in life there's a lot of a lot of students who are looking to you know meet a partner and navigate marriage as a student and really want support and what that looks like how to approach that conversation with their parents and that's that's really a common one so alhamdulillah through the consultative services we actually offer 24 hours a week to berkeley and you know for the most part those hours are full and so we're there's a clear need in our community and amongst our specifically our muslim student body for having these services and again these are consultative services at berkeley so they're not therapy but it's important to remember that you know anything is a gateway to getting actual um therapeutic services and you know consultative services where somebody can come in and say you know i'm not really sure if this is something that therapy might help me with and we're able to say you know definitely so you know our clinic is is up and running and able to take on referrals directly from the university so they never have to compromise uh working with a muslim clinician that is a service that we have made alhamdulillah through through tons of work and effort from everybody in the community plays a big part in that we've been able to make that um available to the muslim student body and then what we do with these consults is you know the clinicians meet we meet with the berkeley kind of team and we start to develop support groups and workshops for the student body for example around exams you know we see a lot of you know a spike in anxiety and there's just a lot of like how do i navigate this time maybe i have other stuff going on at home that's really impacting my ability to sit down and study and so we hold a support group to help navigate the emotions they're really intimate you know people kind of show up and just it's such a beautiful thing to witness because you show up and there's just students and some of them may not even know each other you know but everybody's in that room supporting one another and then we have more more workshops that are a little longer and usually have more of an objective so whereas a support group might just be a place for students to come in and kind of let off their chest workshops are more more structured and we offer like you know more outcomes for those and then like i mentioned we have caps training so um caps is the center what does cap stand for doctor counseling and psychological association i shouldn't do that um but you know so that's a it's a group of clinicians on campus that that the university has and um to date the berkeley system does not have not even one muslim therapist in their caps department so that makes our services even more you know necessary on campus for that student body and so we actually go in and we train the caps department on how to work with muslim clients you know alhamdulillah you know mayor stands here but the need is is huge in our community and so we want to make sure people have access wherever they go to a clinician um and so please of course keep mayor sound in your eyes that we continue to to grow and are able to um to kind of expand our clinical team to meet the demand of the muslim community and so we also um recently our newest contract was with stanford university and so on stanford the service has changed just a little bit we actually offer therapy to the stanford student body they are not consultative services um and so that was a really exciting switch because we saw that you know for them it was like consult therapy you know ultimately there's a need and we want our students to have that access and so alhamdulillah we offer full services to them at 10 hours eight hours a week sorry starting september and we've already had a contract with them over the last four months and so it's been i think ultimately really exciting to see even non-muslims support this initiative and just have this communal understanding of how important these services are and so i'll shift gears and kind of talk about our clinic before i hand off to to our clinicians here and so like i said our clinic soft launched in october and alhamdulillah we were able we focused a lot of our fundraising during ramadan on um you know fundraising for our clinic and raising funds to officially do a hard launch and alhamdulillah with the grace of allah and you know the generosity of the muslim community we were able to launch our clinic officially july 1st we launched um and so what does that really mean it means that we we are able to see clients in the state of california so i i say california and it's not because we don't want to see people elsewhere we are mandated by you know state laws and regulatory bodies for um for our clinicians and where they can practice so they have to be licensed in the state and registered in that state and so right now we're in california so if there is anybody that uh you know or even yourself personally that is looking for services so long as you're a resident of california we can certainly see you all of our services right now are offered online just given the pandemic and how accessible virtual therapy was for a lot of people individuals who felt like i could never seek the service i can't make the time i'm i'm a mom i'm you know i have a really hectic work schedule have found that teletherapy is actually very convenient for them they you know they never had to go out of their way to seek that service alhamdulillah and so that's been really fruitful for the community and insha allah we do hope to have an in-person space as well we know just clinically sometimes there are specific diagnoses and specific age groups where in-person services are actually going to be a little more beneficial for them um and then you know i think just in general again knowing that there's this place as a community to to turn around and and um and and go to in times of either you know crisis for you and your family or any loved ones or just you know sometimes you're at the masjid and you overhear um you know just somebody struggling and you know it's important to know who in your community offers what service and so that's really what we're here to do um i was i was i'll say you know it's it's so important to have muslim clinicians this is it's so important it's so important that we that we acknowledge this as a career path for our families and our and our children and you know our all our clinicians are professional clinicians right this is not um they're all trained at um you know top universities alhamdulillah they've all graduated with masters or doctorate level degrees and so it's important to remember that first and foremost we are offering a professional service they happen to be muslim which is a barakah for us a community that we can turn to somebody and say you know i want these services and i want them rendered by a muslim what's really important to remember is you know we kind of see two types of clients there's clients who come in and who want actively um you know god to be a part of their treatment plan you know dr rania i take this from her and she says you know god-centered people need god-centered treatment so if allah plays for us you know as muslims if allah plays a very big role in my life i can't adapt the secular mindset i've checked god at the door and this is a confidential space it's not confidential from god right god's still in therapy with you and so that treatment plan it's really important if you are somebody who wants that then that is something we can offer but then we have you know individuals who come through and they say i just kind of want the professional service i don't want the islamically integrated process i don't want hadith and quran to come up i don't you know i kind of just want to just talk through things first and then you know as treatment progresses that might change um and and i say that and i had a client call the clinic one time and she said um you know i'm facing you know all these issues blah blah blah and aid is coming up and you know i just really want to talk through some things on how to navigate you know sana talked about our our navigating family dynamics and that's exactly what she needed support with it's coming up i don't live at home and how do i navigate um this very important time of the year for muslims but also kind of like check in with myself and so i said yeah you know totally something that we can we can talk through and you know we started to set up and she paused and she said to me can i just express how nice it was that i didn't have to tell you what aid was it was something so simple you know it totally skipped my mind and i'm going and i'm typing away and she's like i didn't have to stop and tell you that and i want to emphasize that this is important for everybody i was at a soccer game with you know i was watching my husband play soccer two days ago and somebody asked me what i do and and i said oh you know we have this like clinic and this entire organization and she said i'm christian and i won't see anybody who's not christian because it is so important for me that i don't have to sit down and explain parts of my faith to somebody who couldn't be bothered whether religion played a role in my treatment or not so this is important not for us this is important for everybody to have and so alhamdulillah is able to provide that to our muslim community and insha allah we continue to expand and you know just branch out more services but i i really wanted to emphasize the importance of having a place like this that muslims in crisis and you know we'll maybe perhaps talk about uh the levels of crisis and jenna um who's our clinic coordinator and a great friend um she'll talk about you know walk everybody through what it looks like on the administrative end and then saha and hamid are going to talk about what it looks like on the clinical end as we navigate these services so with that inshallah i'll do a hand off to saha and and insha'allah we're happy to answer any questions after okay my name is saha jamshed and i'm a licensed clinical social worker can you guys all hear me here is it on i don't think it's is it on oh thank you um yeah so i'm a licensed clinical social worker um i've been with marston since it's you know start and prior to that i used to work with khalil center and i also work with nissa for those of you who are familiar with nasa which is a domestic violence organization and so at um [Music] at marathon i'm a therapist and the modalities that i focus on is basically cognitive behavior therapy um acceptance therapy and also um i have been like partially trained with emotional focused therapy which i'm in the process of complaining and inshallah and that by next year start of next year i'm going to complete emdr inshallah so um yeah and at marston i see individual clients couples some couples um children and as well as family and yeah couples too uh and so i think i'm supposed to uh i was asked to go through uh overview of a few myths that exist in our communities when it comes to mental health and i'd say one of the major areas in which there's a lot of misconceptions and admits is the areas of children right how our communities interact with kids as well as also understand kids children's behavior oftentimes when parents bring their kids to therapy their initial their expectation is to you know fix him or fix her their behavioral issues and they want that to be fixed so basically the myth is that if somebody's if a child is misbehaving then that means they're a bad child but in reality when we work with these children there are a lot of underlying issues that exist that doesn't necessarily relate to their character but rather experiences right it can be if they've experienced trauma abuse sometimes it's parenting skills that need to be improved and so often times when we work with kids it's not even directly with the child but also involving the parents and working focusing on their family dynamics and i think that's really important you know for us all especially parents to understand another myth that comes up very often is that any mental health issues are a sign of weakness and you know i that comes up very often for me at my work as far as working with clients but also family and community members right but in reality mental health shouldn't be seen any differently than any physical health issues but for example if somebody's diagnosed with diabetes there's no stigma there's no shame they're not told that you know you're not a good enough muslim maybe your connection with allah is not great and you need to work on that but unfortunately with mental health issues that's what usually individuals are told and so that you know kind of keeps them away creates a gap a barrier for them to seek mental health services um and in fact individuals who do have mental health issues are challenged with mental health symptoms and seek services and really work to overcome those challenges are actually very strong because sometimes the work that we do in therapy is not easy right so we meet with the clients for let's say 50 minutes 45 minutes and they're having to work through these steps and skills throughout the week and it's really difficult so it takes a lot of strength and i think it's really important for the community to understand that so that again we don't shame individuals who need mental health services and and we support them and encourage them into seeking services [Music] um lastly um if um this comes up a lot to where you know when i come across somebody who i think may benefit from therapy or you know just generally when the conversation comes up oftentimes the response may be well you know i have a lot of friends i talk to my friends and you know they're supportive or me and my mom are really close you know she provides me a lot of support so i don't need therapy i think what's unique about um actually being in therapy and getting supportive services to a professional is that you the the approach is very constructive and it's very objective right so in a relationship where we're personally involved your you know the emotions get in the way the relationship gets in the way and in fact even as therapists if i have a family member or let's say my daughter my sister whoever somebody i know my friend needs therapy we're actually not supposed to provide therapy for individuals with homework and personal relationships because that that relationship get becomes a barrier and really being able to uh for therapy to be effective um yeah and that's all for me um yeah and i want to thank everybody for being here and supporting this cause um because this is how again that shame and stigma is removed and um yeah switches on cloud right and i'll pass on the planet this is hamed i'm marriage and family therapist and my specialty is working especially with couples and families and um actually i'm bilingual so i'm speaking farsi and english so um doing offering service in two languages and um so the model that i've trained is emotionally focused therapy which is from the name it's mostly focuses on emotion and um also um like i've i've experienced working with um so many different um like people and um couples especially more diverse couples multicultural couples and in marsdawn especially working with muslim couples so um as far as the myth um around therapy in our community i wanna sister saw covered a lot of aspects of it but i want to cover about like uh mist around couple therapy and family therapy which is very important in some ways um the way people think about what to expect from therapy what to expect from couple therapy um some people which in my experience have confronted with is that they're thinking like couple therapists isn't the role to tell them um whether like if this relationship work or not or um this is like if they issue divorce or um they should like work on the relationship and putting this responsibility on a counselor or they think they would expect this um to be told from the therapist that um you should like leave this relationship or you should do this or um for an experience for working with premarital couples those who are thinking about whether to a married to this guy or this role is about like they're coming to the therapy and asking okay if this is a good fit or not can you tell me like um if i should marry to this guy or this girl or not and so they're thinking like um therapists can tell them and whether like they're the good fit or whether they should live their relationship or they should work on the relationship which is not a position of the therapist with not the responsibility of the therapist not only the therapist shouldn't say about these things but also we believe in humanistic approach that clients are the expert of their work so we are not expert we are the one that helping following the clients and guiding them throughout the process and so although i might as a human being i might have some idea but the client knows better and my role as a therapist is to facilitate the conversation facilitate the guiding and facilitating the communication between the couples to help them to see the things around the relationship in different angles and help them to understand help them to see their problems in a different way so that would help them to see like they are they knows better how to deal with their problems if they see the different aspect of their problems and or sometimes like um in my experience like um especially for those couples that they are like it's kind of like escalation they are coming to therapy and they think like therapists would say like whose fault is it like okay tell me about like okay i'm trying to put the blame on the other partner i'm saying like can you tell me like is this like hot tell him tell him about like what's the problem here in a relationship which is i'm saying like i'm not here to help you to see like whose fault is it because i don't believe if the relationship is there's a challenge or there's a problem in the relationship it comes from one side it's a both sided so it definitely both sided you have some responsibility but that's not the point of therapy the point of therapy is to identify your pattern and help you to see that pattern how to stop this pattern and help you guys to get out of this like negative pattern of the relationship um so these are the three um myths around hypothermia which in some people um like makes some hesitation to come to therapy because they don't want to be blamed or they don't want to feel like okay they are the problem of the relationship or sometimes they don't want someone else telling them what is good or what is bad and telling them whether like to stay in a relationship or not i heard a lot especially from the males of the community with all the respect that they are thinking like okay um that person doesn't know about my relationship and how he can tell me what to do and i'm saying like i i'm not in that position i'm not going to tell you what's good for you what's that and what i'm here to just facilitate your conversation so this is very important or for those who come to therapy even with this um understanding with this i believe they are trying to make everything fine they are trying to say like everything is good in a relationship and so while you are in a therapy like um this is not what's expected from therapy you just want to have you like authentic self of you in a therapy so these are the some myths around couple therapy but especially like not only in couple therapy but also in individual therapy is that we are as a as a therapist we are trying to help you guys to see the things around your issue and to give you a different perspective of your problems even this might be vulnerable things to say but even we as a therapist using this service and having a therapist to work on our issues because it's not about knowing the knowledge it's about like seeing the perspectives it's about like when we get stuck in our problems someone helps us to um give us a different perspective of what's going on around these things that we are struggling with so i hope that's helped you guys and i hope like this stigmas can be removed um in our community and all people can get benefit alhamdulillah with the hope of morristown we have this opportunity to offer these services to our community thank you thank you mohamed um jenna is going to join us and talk a little bit about the kind of administrative side so everybody has kind of this like 360 view of what to expect um when you when you reach out and shallow or your loved one does it hello oh there we go all right sorry come everyone my name is jenna and i am the clinic coordinator here at meristan so what that looks like my job description is pretty much all of the back end logistical admin type of work so i'm the happy face that answers all of your emails that answers all the phone calls every time we get a appointment request form or we get a call it's not just an automated response one second um it's a real human being that is reaching out to you and is responding to your questions it's really important to us that we add that human touch um often times when you're kind of standing up through bigger mental health organizations you're going to get an automated response from a robot who's just like hi so and so here's how much your therapy is going to be pay me now or we can't help you like it's it's it's a little bit lacking of that sympathy and starting therapy is scary especially if it's your very first time there can be a lot of apprehension a lot of things that you're unsure about or that you're just uncomfortable with because you've never been faced with these types of questions so it's really important to us that the first point of contact you have is a sympathetic human being who is understanding and who wants to help you and is going to be able to answer any of your questions and kind of just walk you through that process so that's what i do at maristan um so i'm gonna just walk you guys through a little bit of what the process looks like of how to actually get an appointment and what you can expect just to help alleviate some of that stress of the unknown of i don't know what this looks like i don't know what the process is so when you go to our super pretty website ameristan.org you're going to see the option to book an appointment so once you go through this form it's a really quick easy form that can be done within 10 minutes or less that just asks for a little bit of your basic information your name where you come from and just briefly what you're seeking services for so kind of under this theme of myth busting a lot of people get uncomfortable when it comes to the reason for service question and you'll see a lot of people will just put therapy or they'll just put help which is a very normal and understandable reaction to have because it is scary when someone's kind of asking you what you are looking to seek or asking you what kind of reasons for service you have but this is a really good kind of first step into learning to just explore yourself and your feelings and what it is that you're going through because it's really easy on first hand to shut down even when someone just asking you how you're doing good i'm fine chill but when you actually have to give it a little bit of flat of okay what do i actually want out of this why am i coming to therapy what is it that i'm seeking to gain from this type of service it's a good kind of just prompter to get you to start thinking a little bit deeper so after you complete that form it comes to my inbox or whoever the clinic coordinator will be at the time and we go through we read your responses we see which clinician is going to be best suited to suit your needs you can choose a specific clinician if you'd like if you've read about them and you see their bio on our website and you just you like their face you like their vibe you like their bio and it seems like it's something that kind of connects with you or if you're just like i just want to be seen by whoever has the quickest appointment or whoever's most willing to see me then my next step will be to set you up with one of our fantastic clinicians and then we go through a little bit more of the process so we'll talk about payment and fees and things like that and that's one thing that maristan really excels at is making mental health services accessible because being traumatized and having a difficult life is accessible and it happens very easily for a lot of us so getting the help that we need should also be very easy and accessible so we do a lot of work like she was saying with fundraising partnering with different organizations like mcc which has been super supportive alhamdulillah so that way we're able to have the funds to provide sliding scale financial aid and fee adjustments for our clients because money should never be a reason why someone isn't able to get the help that they need and it shouldn't be a hindrance for getting the mental health support that anyone is in need of so we work really hard to make sure that each client has a payment plan that works for them so part of that process might be filling out a few more forms just kind of getting an idea of where you are financially to make sure that your therapy isn't going to be a burden for you this shouldn't be an added stress of how am i going to pay for this it's now putting you in the red or anything like that this should be a service that alleviates a lot of that stress and that is able to provide you with the support that you need after that i pretty much hand you over to the clinicians so we'll get you scheduled and another really important part of the process is you have a couple of other forms there's a lot of just kind of paperwork in the beginning but a lot of these they call it an intake packet and this is really important because it empowers and informs you as a patient and as a client what your rights are and it also encourages you to learn about more of the process i remember the very first time that i started seeing a therapist i didn't really have any of these forms i just kind of went to her office and she kind of just told me what to do or i thought she was going to just tell me what to do and i didn't really know that this was a personal process and that this was something that i should and have been you know should have been encouraged to take more ownership of so it's with these forms it's really it's empowering because it allows you to know what your rights are to know what to expect out of your therapy service and to really understand that it's for you i really liked what brother hamid was saying about a lot of people think that a therapist is just here to tell you what to do is here to boss you around here to shame you into doing things but it's really about the process and the journey that you want to have if you come to a certain therapy session and you don't want to talk about something you don't have to talk about something if you want to talk about a particular topic you can talk about that particular topic if you wanted to sit there and cry for an hour you can sit there and cry for an hour your therapy journey is supposed to be what is what's needed for you at that time and obviously your clinician is also going to hold you accountable they're not going to let you just do whatever feels good at that moment because we also have to call each other to our best selves and our best practices but part of all of these forms is kind of just to empower you to seek the help that you need and that's going to be the best for you so then after you finish with all the annoying paperwork and going back and forth with me for a couple emails then i leave you in the hands of our clinicians and you are starting your therapy journey from there okay perfect um and so from here inshallah that kind of concludes our our kind of like pre-programmed panel um we also before coming earlier this week we actually did um an instagram poll with questions and myths that people also held um about therapy services or just psychology in general and so we'll balance between some of the questions that we got online but also wanted to make sure that we addressed our beautiful crowd here today um and so brother habit if you want to join us again um i'll kind of start perhaps in the crowd and then we'll kind of bounce back and forth between our audience here as well as um kind of the the polls and myths that other people had um dr runya is there anything you want to add before we get started all right bismillah so i'm gonna open it up we might need somebody to walk around with a microphone uh maybe i'll do that good luck thank you okay yeah sure do you um and you know actually yes that's a great point right before we kind of get started with q a um and some more myth busting with everybody i wanted to do a huge shout out to the mayor stand team that is here with us today alhamdulillah and the one that is kind of in the background that we we won't see we alhamdulillah have people all over the us joining our team and who have been a part of our team uh since we were born but um tasmir and dr saria if you guys wanted to come up here and just do a brief introduction of of yourselves and um the work that you guys do at meristen we'd love and appreciate to celebrate you my name is the smear i'm currently a graduate student doing my master's in counseling and i was blessed to find marston halfway through my first year and mental health is something that i'm super passionate about um i also have a non-profit background so this kind of like merges both of my passions um but currently with marsden i'm just kind of helping them out with their programs most recently i was working on the suicide response training that was happening in minnesota just doing stuff in the background and before that i was also just helping out fundraising throughout ramadan so i'm just here in the back trying to contribute to the success of the organization welcome everyone my name is uh dr sabi i guess or sabi adani i'm a current psychiatry resident at stanford um so have finished my medical degree currently training at stanford in my third year um long-time fan of dr rania as i'm sure most of you guys are and so have been following maristan since it started and inshallah hopefully will be seeing more of me on the forefront of maristan as a clinician to provide psychiatric services inshallah please make dua interested in cultural psychiatry psychiatry muscle mental health um psychodynamic therapy and cbt um so inshallah hoping to provide that to the community thank you both mashallah and i just want to say i'm really excited too that one thing we actually didn't mention that dr saudia mentioned is that alhamdulillah we're formalizing a relationship between stanford university and maristan beyond our student mental health our mmhi program in which our counselors go to stanford and offer the care we're also forming a relationship in which our stanford trainees and residents like dr sadia come to maristan to offer care which will be really wonderful because it'll be a rotating training opportunity for those who are at stanford doing their advanced training in psychiatry to be able to come through and be supervised under myself in order to learn the ropes of how to do this work with the muslim community and then inshallah become their own full-fledged clinicians in time so madison has a very close relationship with a couple of different places one of them is the lab the stanford muslim mental health and islamic psychology lab we pride ourselves that inherently that all of our work is backed by the research it's evidence-based it's solid it's known and it's definitely grounded in islamic understandings we're also very excited that we're having these relationships with wonderful universities and institutions in which we're able to be a training institute where we're able to bring on the next generation of folks that bring them through the training so with all of this i hope that y'all now are going to go back to your questions but i hope you'll keep us in your duas you'll continue and thank you for all of you contributed and many of you in this crowd and many of you online contributed to the opening of the clinic we couldn't have done it without this community and its generosity i hope you'll continue to be generous with us inshallah so that we can continue to offer the services and offer them to those who are the most in need in our community and underprivileged in that way to where your support actually allows them to be able to see uh seek out care insha'allah and so i hope we'll be able to have a wonderful discussion with you in this q a back and forth and for those of you online i want to remember that we remember we see you even though we don't see you we kind of know you're there and you're listening inshallah so we're going to take your questions too inshallah um so it will start with the crowd again i know there was a sister over here there's two sisters with questions brothers i want to see the hands yeah beautiful mashallah okay assalamu alaikum my name is naboo i wanted first to thank dr rania and her staff for the work you're doing i feel that we are a blessed community to simply have access to all this so mashallah and i make dua for your maristan company initiative to be a success and for allah to reward you all and your progenies for the excellent work you're doing so i do have two quick questions the first one is how do you measure success in the work we do what's your criteria for measuring success and the second question is about confidentiality because some of you are a member of our community we see you we know you you either our teacher or we know you from here how can you make us comfortable to know that the type of service we're seeking is remaining confidential and we don't get seen differently because we seeking your service mashallah confidentiality comes up a lot and it came up in the instagram poll as well so two birds with one stone um does anybody want to start us off um i'd say um i can make a comment about confidentiality when it comes to working with individuals that we run across in the like masjids and the community usually the policy is and this is something that i talk to my clients about is that if i see somebody in the masjid i usually don't approach them and say salaam and really it's up to the client if they want to actually take that initiative and greet me because again since the community knows that i'm a therapist sometimes there may be that assumption made right and i also don't want to make the client feel uncomfortable by approaching them and and recognizing them right and um and also as far as um confidentiality of course all of us as therapists were trained in confidentiality and we do take that very seriously and so um i think oftentimes you know that concept of and we're talking to individuals in the community who are not professionals sometimes they may not really adhere to certain confidentiality rules right but when it comes to an actual therapist who's actually trained and and that we take that very seriously i just want to add something here that this is the responsibility of the therapist it is really hard on us as a therapist to keep the confidentiality and not as sister sauce and not approaching when we see someone in our immunity but this is very important in the beginning of the session first session i usually bring up this issue that this might happen but this is the way i have approached to make my client sure that this is i know my responsibility and i make sure that i'm not going to break this confidentiality for you because it's very important for me this is my responsibility i will definitely take care of it um i'll i'll slightly add and then doctor if you want to address um maybe whatever you want to add of course um so jenna talked a little bit about an intake packet and that's really about knowing your rights and stuff as a client when you come through through maristan's doors and this is actually you know one of the biggest parts of informed consent and the way you consent to services is us also telling you um what are the limitations of your confidentiality and so that's a part of it you know there are times where um you know if we're subpoenaed by the law to release records or for whatever reason i mean there's a few other ones and you know we won't get into the details but um all of the clinicians who who are here are you know we're regulated by allah first right you tell somebody something in confidence and and you know there's that amana that you are not going to jeopardize the trust that that person has put in you um you know there's allah there right at the top and then we also have regulatory bodies right so saha and hamad and all practicing clinicians are mandated by a regulatory body so breaking confidentiality without like a legal reason to something that does not violate their board of ethics it jeopardizes their career like everything that they practice if they aren't regulated by a board their ability to practice is compromised and so there's a lot on the line for a clinician to kind of navigate that in so i want to emphasize that these packets i know we're we're used to just scrolling to the bottom i agree um and we just kind of submit and say bismillah it's really important to read what you are signing off on um i think one of the hardest things is navigating something when you're in the dark and so all that paperwork is really supposed to alleviate this process and confidentiality is by far the number one question we get is anybody gonna know my mom knows this person in the masjid and she goes on sunday nights at eight are you going to tell her no we're not going to tell her right so it's really really important to kind of understand that process and so this is a beautiful question um jessica's sister so all of you mentioned everything to be said about confidentiality which i think is really excellent i can't emphasize enough how serious we take this issue of confidentiality and you heard about regulatory bodies i think it's really important to know that because all of us are also bound as professionals by these boards of ethics that we adhere to anybody can have their um it can have the license i couldn't think of the word their license completely pulled from them just by one breach of something like this so it's very serious for us it's not something that's the difference between a professional and somebody who's you know you know a wonderful sister or brother in the community who gives nice advice and they'll see her hair and there we don't this is not an elsi story for us this is our profession our bread our daily living like this is something we take very seriously the other thing i would like to say is a question you brought up as well which is would we think of anybody any differently the reality is all of us need help all of our families need help all of our children need help i don't mean to offend you i need help we all need help and so if you're not going to look at me any differently i'm certainly not going to look at you any differently this is the reality and if the pandemic has taught us anything it's that we all really do need help and there's nobody that needs to look at anybody else differently because of it and different people struggle at different paces and allah subhanahu tana gives different people different struggles in their lives right he tests people with different things some with their health some with their wealth some with their knowledge some with their you know well-being somewhat they're this someone or that everybody has a different test and so who are we to judge right because we don't know if we're going to pass our own tests subhanallah so anyway i hope that helps alleviate that a little bit i would hope that everybody that you're seeing here and everybody in our extended mary stan family that you met we are all what i would like to say is this concept of humility is what really drives the work that we do and it's one of the distinguishing factors of the of the group that you see here today so please don't ever feel that there will be a sense of judgment by anybody even if you see them again somewhere in the community inshallah i'm not too sure enough about what you meant by success do you want to tell me what that means yeah okay well let's hope inshallah that we have to feel from allah to have success in all of our endeavors um i had a question regarding maybe providing a bit more detail um like i think from the professional side of like what your clinicians go through for their like psychiatry degree or um like university degree makes sense can he provide some detail as to like what islamic i guess knowledge you guys provide so that it kind of merges together i know it's probably not like an alima or olive course but it might be something that we can like click to and say like oh this is the knowledge that's provided sorry for my ignorance no not at all i think it's a beautiful question so i will answer both things if that's okay i think i heard you say two things which is that um you know what is the actual training what is the difference which we didn't clarify today you hear a lot of names i know when i first entered the field i couldn't tell the difference between what is a counselor what is a therapist what is a marriage family person what is a social worker what is it there were so many names of different people and different things these are the important things to understand there are master levels clinicians meaning after they went to college their bachelor degrees they went to a two-year master's program and then in addition this is where having a master's program as a clinician is different than having a master's program in you know the humanities let's say or the sciences if a person is a master's level social worker or marriage family therapist in addition to their theoretical coursework they did in their graduate school for two years in addition to that they also had to do supervised clinical care and that is about 3 000 hours of supervised clinical care that in itself takes about three years so in addition to their masters so that's about five years after college to become to even just be able to sit at the board test to take their licensing exam to be a fully licensed independent lead operating clinician now if you're at the doctorate level a psychologist or a psychologist meaning you have a phd in psychology or a society which is clinical psychology or a physician we won't even get to psychiatrist that's a whole other bulk we'll get to that one in a minute but the the two who are kind of at the doctorate levels that's a five-year program in addition to all their supervised hours so now you're counting all the years it takes to become to be able to sit in these seats and do this work right we're talking in the seven eight nine years of work that people do medical school is a whole other ballgame for those who are psychiatrists of course after college there's the four years of medical school then there's the four years of psychiatry residency that's eight right there and then if you do advanced subspecialty which we call fellowship that's another two years i personally went through all 10 years of that training before you even start your independent clinical practice it's intense to be able to do that work that's on the what we call in the academy western psychology and psychiatry now your second question was where does islam come in islamic teaching come in that is something we pride ourselves on inshallah is that in addition to all this training we mentioned this our therapists are kind of going through weekly didactics meaning weekly trainings that they're getting one of the books that i helped publish was a book that i hope all of you if you don't have and it's interesting to you if you're interested in the field definitely have those book on your shelf it was called it's called and you can get it on amazon it was published by rutledge called introducing islamically integrated psychotherapy or the tip model traditionally integrated islamic psychotherapy and our therapists are actually covering that model with me on a weekly basis so we kind of go through that model of how you integrate islam into the story exactly of therapy and in addition to that they're all recommended to go through their own islamic teaching like you said it's not necessarily an alima course but they're all supposed to be filling in the gaps of their islamic knowledge in their own growth because they know that they're serving the muslim community and so many of their clients ask that islam be part of the discussion so that's essentially kind of i hope it answers your question of how we bring the two worlds together um i'm gonna take a question from online and then inshallah we'll come back to to our crowd um so i i really like this question and i'm gonna kind of add something to it that uh is a myth i've personally heard is oh i've tried this before and it doesn't work and i'm like how many you know you tried it with one therapist yeah i tried it once 50 minutes didn't like it wasn't my thing i'm like okay um and so i want to ask and turn to the clinicians here how would we kind of address that situation where somebody says well i've done this before and you know i don't like it or i've been doing it and it's starting to wear off and the effects of it are starting to kind of just like you know fizzle out how would we kind of respond to somebody who comes forth to your agenda with that what i want to say here is that therapy is kind of like a relationship we call it as a therapeutic relationship imagine how hard it is to make a new friend like you can't try for one like you have to try and like experience uh friendship to find a good friend to find your best friend so it's all about that therapeutic relationship so it is really hard to find a find a good fit this is not about the experience or the license um like what kind of license that therapist had but it's what is important is if i'm if i feel connected if i feel safe with that therapist or not and it takes like a while to taste taste like so many different people to find a good fit for you and you you should you shouldn't give up for like just one try even for like it takes multiple tries to find a good fit as a because we have a lot of muslim therapists in mars now we are like three four practitioners so what is important is to feel like like even i prefer like a male therapist female therapist i want i want to like have like more experienced therapists or not but when you experience that you can feel if you feel connected to that person or not and then after you feel safe the 50 percent of the work is that relationship if you feel connected that person that goes like a 50 percent of the work and then goes to all the techniques all the process that are going through the therapy yeah so maybe i'll add a little bit to that um i remember a while back i was reading a quote that said um finding the right therapist is like buying a new pair of shoes you have to try on many you have to try many to find the right fit and sometimes that is the case so some of it may be our training and um you know the our experience and then it can also be the personality if they're able to relate um and as far as you know the comment about um i tried it it didn't work or it worked for a while and then you know it's not working anymore oftentimes in my experience i find that clients they may initially when they're in therapy they may implement the steps and the techniques and they're very motivated especially when they are in therapy and once they stop because you know in therapy we don't want clients to become dependent so gradually you know we decrease the frequency and eventually to end that relationship hoping that the client will be independent enough to implement the skills on their own but oftentimes what happens that continues for a while and then the skills are not implemented anymore right so when i work with clients who who say that it's often times when i ask them well are you still like how was the experience of last time you went to therapy and what did you learn and i'd say nine out of ten times when i ask are you still implementing those skills they say no so if you're if you're if you've learned these skills and you have these set of tools and you're not using them anymore then it's not going to be effective right therapy is not like magic where you go through it and then it changes your life forever right there is continuous hard work and it's a process it's a lifelong process um jenna do you mind taking the microphone to the sister in the back um accept the work that you do i wanted to ask a question from dr anya so i am wondering about one thing which is not clear for me islamically we are supposed to not talk about other people behind their back not talk about their private matters um not even talking about gossip but not speak about other people's affairs but when you go to therapy you will necessarily have to speak about other people who are involved in your life and who might have hurt you and you have to say things about them who which they don't want other people to know um so where is the boundary the border of where do you where is our islamic responsibility towards the other people of not sharing about them and where is my right of using that information for healing i don't know that's a wonderful question a very important one um this one comes off and i don't i'm surprised it didn't come up in our myths before because it actually comes off quite often um the question about what happens about the islamic concept of not speaking of other people um or in therapy you know inadvertently other people are going to come up in the discussion how does that go i want to just be very clear that when um we have to understand that when you speak to a therapist somebody who is a professional someone who's trained or a physician like myself who does therapy they are in this the same concept of the way you go to your physician and you're able to and if you need to with absolute necessity you may need to expose a part of your body of yourself we call this aura you know a portion of yourself that is otherwise you would never expose but for the medicinal healing purposes you need to do so and our teachers of dean of spirituality explain that it is the same concept when you go to a healer someone who it's not a physical aura but it is otherwise translates into a nakedness essentially or something you don't want exposed or seen by others but you're but you necessarily need to expose that that's not maybe not a part of the body but here it is a concept or a discussion or something about that person that is essentially a form of aura but it is done only to the person of knowledge the person who is trained the physician the therapist who is trained to do what not to just listen and go um that's all the therapist does what they do is they're going to listen carefully but then they're going to take that knowledge and help and facilitate the healing process because they are a healer that is what they do it is not all that different than our islamic concept of when you talk to somebody the same way you go to your imam or to a sheikh or sheikha or stadium and you bring them a complicated manner of your life maybe it's very embarrassing maybe it's a filthy issue that you don't want other people to know but you need untangled and what does the quran say ask the people of knowledge if you do not know and in this situation the therapist that's giving you the techniques and helping you sort through how to deal with an abusive person in your life how to deal with a trauma in your life how to deal with somebody who is narcissistic in your life how to deal with a difficult childhood that you might have had how do you deal with any of these things that is what this person is doing because they're trained to do so and them and only them again within the limits of confidentiality and they're given the extent of the knowledge they need just like the physician is is given exposed amount of the body that's needed to be able to see and heal it it's the same concept here does that make sense and so this is our islamic understanding to the amount needed but only to whom the person of knowledge if that makes sense and i hope that helps kind of help us understand how this all works inshallah so one of the myth busting on the questions was what happens when you expose sins in therapy so it's a little different question but it's related what happens about a sin right if somebody is coming forward actually this is interesting because we have been working on a new line of research related to substance abuse and you know this is probably there's many many many many sins a person can do but let's just focus on one example here's one example in this line of research that we're working on on substance abuse which we know is prohibited by stem alcohol drugs etc but certainly many people have unfortunately fallen into that track when you come to a therapist who's trained in addiction work who's trained to help you get through an addiction whatever that addiction might be maybe it's substances maybe it's pornography maybe it's whatever it may be it is an incredibly embarrassing thing to bring forward but you can't get rid of it on your own so again you're going to the person of knowledge who is trained to help you get through the addiction and with that you're going to have to reveal that this is something you went through not because we sit there and chat about our sins that's not the point here but it's the same concept of talking to the person of whom of knowledge that's actually trained in the concept you're doing so don't hold back um you know because we see this i mean i see this with my people i work with all the time they'll like the whole they'll kind of like you know will be several sessions and maybe finally they'll say actually the reason i'm actually here is x y and z right but that's okay because they have to get comfortable a little bit to kind of get to that point but if you kind of let all the sessions go and you never actually reveal what it is you need the help with your therapist quote unquote shrink they're not a mind reader let's bust that myth michelle a lot of people are like oh you're analyzing me you can read my mind no i really cannot read your mind mashallah i do need you to bring forward what it is that you need help with so that i can help you through it so i hope that helps a little bit too um is there anybody in the audience who had a question the brother okay it seems that this center was long overdue was necessary and kovit had maybe just brought it to the surface i had a couple of questions and i wanted ahead of time to forgive me if you have covered it in your previous meetings but as an institution i had a couple of questions if i may just ask you one is that the relationship that you have as mary stone first of all if you can shed some light regarding the contract you mentioned with berkeley and stanford are they just a contract that you can have access to the student or is it actually funded contracts so it does it support marista the second question i have i just go quickly through them so you can answer them and others can have some time the second questions i had was with the accept exception of the administrative people in your staff the rest of the staff is pronoble or they are also paid staff the third question i have is i looked into recently with the islamic centers around here it seems that the issue of family issues one of the aspects of therapy is the biggest issue it seems that the centers are facing especially in the family issues and the need for it is really great and it's one of the greatest challenges that seems all the islamic centers around here are facing is there any program that maybe get these institut these islamic centers together and do a good push with regard to funding a better or bigger institution for mayor's time such as as a foundation for the local the fourth question i had is you mentioned about your relationship with stanford and berkeley with the clarinations is this a program growing to the point that you can dedicate a spot in the clinic teachings of these institutions such as stand for ucsf that they can dedicate one specific spot for mary's time and and with therapeutical needs or psychiatric needs for islamic communities thank you very much you're welcome brother i'll i'll tackle inshallah two of those questions and then we'll i'm kind of maybe soda you can take on a few um so the the contracts with berkeley and stanford there is a monetary exchange um of course we we want to be able to compensate our clinicians and so alhamdulillah we are fully capable of doing so so there is a monetary exchange we offer i mentioned previously so it's eight hours to stanford a week and then we offer 24 to the university of california berkeley throughout the academic year and then the hours tend to drop a little bit in the summer just given that there's a lot of travel that students do and so the services seem to drop a little bit in the summer but there is a monetary exchange i think that was your question uh regular budget by the university towards the mayor's time oh great question so um the stanford contract is held by the markets which is um it's an islamic uh yeah it's a cultural center so the funding actually comes through the cultural center and that's what pays for this contract berkeley it's actually funded through the caps department um and so they hold the contract so at stanford it's held by the market at berkeley it's held by the the caps department they are both from the university yes um if yeah sorry if that was your question um and then brother if you can help me with this the last question that you asked is there a spot for meristem within that yes uh dr mentioned that there is a close relationship with the clinicians at the psychiatric department with stanford if this relationship is growing can it be as part of their matching program can dedicate one person if the funding for that matching program can be uh supported by the community that's an interesting concept um what what i was referring to is within um the the psychiatry residency program there are options to be able to do community clinics there's tracks within there's research tracks clinical tracks and community clinic tracks so we are a community clinic and so those who choose to do our public psychiatry or even our community clinic tracks at stanford meristem becomes one of the options for them to come and rotate through to gain that clinical experience that's what i was referring yes that's good but if if the funding is available and proposed to stanford or ucsf or anywhere in the u.s with meristem leading it can one allocation be designated for for this cause if the funding from the community is being supported so the the student or the the the residents that allocation should have that pre-selection so we could certainly talk about this but alafa it seems that we're close to aisha time so we'll just say that we'll happy to discuss a little bit more there are some preset rules in place for residency programs but there may be space for something as you're discussing we'll we'll talk about it more offline inshallah i think it seems uh and our imam is here so inshallah it's time for aisha prayers is that correct inshallah and yes we said after aisha prayer we'll stick around as a panel inshallah we'll take just kind of one-on-one questions i also just wanted to mention we have our table from madison in the back please on your way out do take a bookmark a pen any of our goodies that are on the table but stay in touch with us please and if you scan that qr code it'll add you to our mailing list so that you're aware of when we do programming inshallah we hope to see you at our upcoming programs and please do keep us in your

in north carolina i have the world's greatest parents and step parents um and i'm lucky enough to have all of them and my two brothers and grandparents all in raleigh also so lucky to have them right down the road we try to get together on a regular basis whether that's sunday dinners once a week and then recently we got really brave and started taking one international trip as a family together each year with both sets so far so good um but yeah they're awesome wow so that's like that's kind of the same thing for us we used to do um we haven't done in a while but we would do like neighborhood trips because our neighborhood was really close so we just go to like state hopping or we go to like different countries so that's kind of funny um how i know raleigh's definitely changed and it's literally changing every week but like what's the differences that you've seen like how's raleigh before and how is it now whether it's like people building environment why is like how is it changing your eyes yeah well i have to pay to park now so i'm not used to that but no raleigh is one of the most sought out places to live for a ton of different reasons um quality of living is great the cost of living is great it's easy to get around um but you do notice now that it takes a little bit longer to get from point a to point b downtown is just booming it's really small business friendly um so it's kind of like a big city vibe or a little city vibe depending on what you're looking for so it has a lot to offer exactly i feel like you have the choices too like if you're in downtown raleigh you get the downtown esque but it like if you're in the country in like youngsville then you kind of get like the best of both worlds right yeah so did you um during school when you you know were you extremely athletic were you into you know academics like who were you when you were younger and and kind of how did you go from where you were where you were kind of like where you are right now yeah totally so i like to be involved back back in the day and now i like to have my hands in everything so school and i went to ravenscroft in north raleigh which is where both of my grandparents taught which was pretty cool or my grandmothers taught so played basketball volleyball softball i swam you name it i loved it i really liked being a part of the team i liked that structure and i liked the different personality types and i liked to be challenged i was also really involved in the theater because it was a good outlet for my creative side so i just think life is all about trying as many different things figuring out what you like and keep doing those and equally as important figuring out what you don't like and don't do those exactly that's transferred into adulthood so if i love doing something i'm going to do it and if i don't like it i'm not going to do it exactly just just like uh focusing on your strengths exactly so what did you you kind of like i noticed like a little pattern of you may going out and trying things but like where did that come from was it like a push from your parents did you kind of get like you know one day you just woke up you're like you know what i'm going to do everything i think that mindset is just how just how i am i'm a natural goal setter i like to be challenged i'm super curious i want to be as well-rounded as i can be so i think that's just in my in my bones i think i was just born that way do you think that's and it's such a great topic because we learn stuff in school but i feel like some of the things will not learn is like self-awareness you know uh determination like hard work i know a lot of people think especially because of you know cell phones and everything being instant a lot of people want stuff like right now um but like what do you think is it why is it important to have that trying everything but also you have to realize you have to put in the work before you really find it yeah absolutely and that is something there's no substitution for it there is no substitution for hard work and you mentioned that people think uh people want things instantly and that's just that's that's a short term quick fix to get where you want to go um and for me trying a little bit of everything um i feel that self awareness and self self growth and actualization if you don't have that foundation figured out about yourself you are never going to be the best you can be for your you know your boss your partner your kids your spouse so i think that self-awareness is really important so you can project that on to your circle of friends colleagues family um to be the best version of yourself wow you know it's got high five right there i i i've never talked before but i love this just to hear from other people about it just because like i know it's also a topic where some people think like oh wow like you know this kate is reading books and she's trying to better herself like people kind of look at it in a way i know some people look at it in a way like they think you're trying to become honestly better than them but it's like i i feel like they realize that like you both came from one place and it's just honestly at the end of the day you have the option to either i see in the background i don't know in the background it looks like a bat but i want to give that the description like softball like everyone has a chance to swing it's whether you choose to or not at the end of the day yeah yeah so did you i know ravenscroft is a very very very great school and i have a lot of friends who've come from there a lot of great friends actually um what happened next for you to kind of go to college or or what was the next steps for that for you to really chase that next thing for you yes i always knew i wanted to go to school um i didn't know what i wanted to be when i grew up i still really don't know the answer to that but that's okay yeah so after graduation i went to unc wilmington um i love all things beach related we're still big people in our family so i went to uncw absolutely loved it and worked all through college at a marketing and public relations firm i became a communications major and marketing pr communications they all blended really well together and that transferred into life after college and then my current role at henry shine awesome so how unc wilmington is actually one of the schools i wanted to go to so you got to tell me like what were some what are the highlights i know there's probably some low lights but or some highlights low lights of the of the beach like honestly i would say that the vibe all the way around was very chill from people from a people interaction standpoint everyone was very accepting very laid back and um we didn't have a football team which i thought i would really miss i feel like that's one of the you know quintessential college experiences but that instead forced us to all hang out with each other and they're just a good group of people from diverse backgrounds and everyone got wrong it's safe and at the beach you're just chill oh and um i like that so it was just a really happy positive experience all around i've seen these shirts i can't remember when the college was created but it's like uh i think it's ncaa football champs it's like night or since et cetera like whenever the college is created and it's hilarious because it's they've never had anything yeah exactly yeah um so dentistry i know it's like a we i still get asked all the time like dude why do you work with dentists like that is such that like the weirdest niche but why you know i mean like why did that what did that niche really do for you to kind of get you in there so i stumbled into dentistry serendipitously so my background is in public relations and marketing and at the time i loved that job but there is a tremendous amount of work travel involved zero balance and i was never home and i was really tired and burned out so i came home from an event that i was working drove to my mom's house and just kind of explaining to her that i was just tired right well you know there's a guy that lives next door that sells something why don't you go talk to him have you ever considered a career in sales no the idea of selling anything to anyone it is it is ironically enough that's become my career and i still like selling things so we can talk um about that later but um so anyway so i walked over to this guy's house rang his doorbell like a girl scout and i said hey my name is my name is kate i understand that you sell something what do you sell and do you think i could sell it too he's like well come on man and um he was a rep with him and still is a wreck with henry schneider and he goes oh i sell bill supplies and i thought to myself oh you know i'm a career-oriented person i don't think that's a real thing and general supplies i don't know and he's like well look let me educate you more on on what it's really about and he was kind of sharing his story he was talking about his customers and what he did and it sounded really really appealing to me something totally different um i interviewed and got the job that was 12 years ago and wow how was the first year how was the first year of switching from like having i don't want to say uh a guaranteed like a dollar or not that's coming in to where sales it's you are i mean i always say you're working for yourself it doesn't matter where you are but like how did how is that transition from from that to that yeah i still don't have the appropriate word to articulate it i was always very grateful for the opportunity um but you start from scratch meaning they give you a list of 200 doctors with the common theme that none of those doctors are buying from your company so they give you a catalog with them best of luck and you cold call you knock on doors and you have to get the person at the front to give you a chance and the hygienist and the office manager and the doctors um all of which are mostly loyal to our competitors so it it took about three solid years just to start the genuine relationship building process so it wasn't the first year the second i mean it was a solid three years of just hustle and grit a few tears but more determination than tears and then one day it just kind of it took a turn and now i see those customers 12 years later that wouldn't talk to me my family and my friends and my most loyal customers and i just couldn't imagine my life without them in it so it was hard especially without any dental backgrounds right the point where they'd ask you a question and i'd be like i'll get back to you let me check on that right wow so you you mentioned a lot of great things and it's um but the pers yeah first of all it was the persistency part how i mean i know it's important because like even for me when for example if i'm reaching out to new people um not only emailing but also sending them a facebook what i do is like facebook videos so everybody else is sending messages why don't i just send the videos they see who i am whether it's of course i can't drop by any businesses right now and i want to do that but you know sending them letters etc but persistency like why is it important i know we touched it a little bit of it when when we talked about you know technology and how everything which is great but it's allowed us to want instant gratification why is persistency important in anything that you do because i think the end result is so genuinely fulfilling it's you know when you work hard like if you're training for a marathon or something like that and you train and you train and you train that's not easy either but then you run the race and that feeling of genuine accomplishment so worth it um plus the relationships that you make at the end of all that are just it's just really fulfilling and really really special but it's it's hard and it takes time and a lot of creativity um and hard work which i know we've talked about before but um sweet and and then you also mentioned the next thing um which is relationships which i feel like they're extremely important i i feel like relationships at the end of the day if someone i mean that is honestly stronger than any dollar amount because it opens up an unknown world of opportunities but what are some ways that you kind of tailored yourself in your own way to be able to build meaningful relationships of course some of them you might want to transaction from but what are the steps that you did that some people watching right now can be able to kind of say okay i'm a 40 plus year old person who wants to start building relationships locally or i'm a middle schooler who i want to start building relationships with people in my community what are some things that they can be able to do the great news about that is it's fairly foundational and the foundations are the most important when you do them consistently and you do them consistently well the number one bit of advice and the thing that i continue to do is to ask questions we have ears and one mouth um so think about i love that when you ask questions from a genuine place people want to be heard and people want to talk so when you ask the right questions get your pen and paper ready because they want to talk and then you take notes and then you know exactly what's important to your customer um and then it's up to you to follow up and deliver instead of coming in and trying to sell something and why you're so great or why your company is so great that might not be important to them and it's about customer it's not about me um so when you ask the right questions they will give you a very long list of answers and then you follow up customize and execute and that's where the value comes in um because if i'm not providing the value that they want that's not their fault that's that's on me so i need to figure out what is valuable to them and then do it wow that is like we're gonna make sure that cliff is saved and we're gonna run that over and over again but like you're and it's a little bit genuine like this is why these conversations are amazing because to hear someone kind of with the same thoughts that you have but tedxing them and just going off like another amazing route is just amazing because honestly for me at the end i always like watch these and i literally just take notes and i'm like okay kate said this i want to make sure i save that um so in your in your role i know you mentioned your first three year uh you know it took three years for stuff to really start getting the traction momentum um what are some highlights of that you've had i'm going to go a little bit back to the to the challenges but i want to do the highlights what are some highlights that you've had in your career that you just made some profound relationships or actions that kind of took a turn in a great way um the first thing that comes to mind so with my approach to selling um it's very consultative so it's not transactional where i'm trying to you know sell a product from a to b it's more of a consultative approach focusing on the business side of dentistry and that can be a challenging mindset for other reps to adapt and implement um but i naturally gravitate towards um here so the highlight of my career due date no question is that i got connected with the henry shine team in australia and they were trying to coach their reps to adapt to more consultative style of spelling and they said hey will you come to our national sales meeting in sydney and speak to our australia and new zealand teams they were at the same conference and it was life-changing on so many different levels i was super honored very nervous um incredible people and it was the highlight of my my career at china that is amazing oh my gosh yeah you five you had the moment when you get there you're like i'm in australia about to speak to a lot of people yeah and it's your peers you know and i enjoy public speaking and i can speak to and with dentists and their team all day long but when it's peer-to-peer they're like hey i know what i know what you do what are you gonna tell me you know who is this person and she's a rep just like me so when it's peer-to-peer i always feel like there's more um pressure in a way to deliver something that they can learn and hopefully grow from exactly i feel like that's also important especially because they kind of get the um who is the gentleman who broke the format about roger federer i think but the person was like when before he broke the four-minute mile it was impossible but then once he broke it it was just okay it can happen so it's like when they see okay kate is doing this she's doing the same exact job but in her own special way that everybody else can either follow they can follow but do it in their own special way similar to you um so with of course with everything going on and you know it's kind of it's it's crazy to think that we've been pretty much for six months um but i want to kind of touch on everything that's been going on so i want to say for you personally um this is something i've been asking my friends and kind of people there for you personally do you think you've changed throughout this yeah north carolina since march since for the past six months and if so is it positive negative and and how question um have i changed probably i mean i think it's a good lesson in um you know there's the serenity prayer uh you know help me accept the things i cannot change um don't before this part scrap that um there are things in our life that are within our control and there are things that are out of our control so with the pandemic that's out of our control and you can choose to be angry about it you can be sad you can be frustrated and you're allowed to have those days because it's been emotional it's been a little nuts for everyone you're allowed to have those days but have your day recognize that and then move on and instead focus on the things that you can control at the beginning that was more time at home with my husband and our animals and that was really nice and i could focus on the strategic planning aspect of my job so i don't know adaptability i would say the pandemic really forced myself and others to focus on what we can control focus on what we cannot control and then adapt accordingly i think we're literally the same exact way for that aspect because for me it was it was a time to where march march-ish i had and we know because you have to when you're talking to the business you don't talk directly to the dentist because dentists are doing what dentistry in the back so i remember it was supposed to be march like let's just say it was this week that i had already talked office office managers dentists were on board so the next week i was going to be on boarding like 10 to 15 clients and i remember i literally was you know we do the math and you're just like wow and then covet came and and so of course we had to stop but um i tell people at that time of course you know it's a little angry but i'm actually happy that it that didn't happen because i realized i would have had golden handcuffs and what that means is that i had the systems tailored to my business and how i could be able to deliver but out during this time since we were all kind of like grounded at home i focused on investing into getting into groups where i'm like a small sardine and a gigantic ocean and i just learned wow actually had no systems at all in my business so it's like i'm actually hot you know it's it's it's a very it's also a period of uh you know realization just realizing that some things happen they don't happen to you they happen for you um so yeah with with business side how did that really i know you mentioned um adapting how did that affect your business and what did you have to kind of do differently because i know there's no i don't know if you go to conventions or kind of anything like that so what was what were the changes so with um with my customers i feel like we had our own three phases first phase was total panic mode and i would get calls i mean 24 7 because let's face it all the days kind of blend together with with all this coded stuff and my customers were calling freaking out a little bit so i played the role of therapists just listening they weren't calling for advice necessarily they were calling to to have someone listen to their fears um which i was grateful to be in that position for them and to be that shoulder for them to lean on and then phase two once the reality kind of set in they all kicked it into planning mode which was cool but then my calls that i was getting 24 7 where hey kate you know what i want a second location i want to hire an associate i need to invest in technology to make up for my lost production so then i'm helping these people plan for their future which is very rewarding and then phase three was execution um you know the doors are open they're seeing patients how does that new dental experience look so while they were leading up to that henry shine as a company is doing an amazing job of giving their sales team the tools um to have those conversations with doctors do you need air purifiers how do you manage aerosol what is the code with testing going to look like what are you supposed to do with your waiting room how are you supposed to change your scheduling and coming to to us for that and there is a lot of value and that is what it's all about is how are we adding value to our customers day in and day out why are they choosing to work with me why are they choosing to work with henry shine and pre-covet during cove and post covid we deal with a lot of what we consider non-traditional competitors so back in the day if there were people there was a henry shine rep myself and then a competitor rep and we would compete against each other but now you have online companies such as amazon and other website only no rep competitors and usually they're a little bit cheaper than shine so how are we adding the value to where we can justify maybe not always being the least expensive option coming full circle when the pandemic hit i mean our customers going to pick up the phone and call their amazon rep for guidance whoa they're going to call me so that was a great reminder of hey there is a lot of value in this relationship and the understanding your business and genuinely wanting to help because everything i do is for for my customers from a very genuine place and they they see that sometimes they need some reminding but um but they recognize that and their relationship is super important awesome thank you so much for sharing that and that's like like again it's like you never you never know how something like you know with this and everything that's been happening can actually turn out to benefit you and i know even for me there were certain times where i was like i felt like i was not honestly benefiting but like i'm doing good but the whole world seems to be bad and then you start feeling bad you're like should i be doing bad like am i my bad for doing good um so with with kind of transitioning to that what do you think um i know you mentioned that the first your first three years of how hard that was um do you what was like a turning point apart from that that you had where you kind of had an adversity that kind of forced you to pivot in a in a new direction and become the kate who you are today yeah so um i actually used the skills i learned from my pr and marketing background to brand myself and to market myself and to network um so i created dental paint i created a website which it's basic but i think it's pretty cool i'm proud of it and a lot of reps don't have one and i made myself you know coozies and cups and pens that were branded with dental paint on there so like oh she's more than an average sales rep um and then i also have a newsletter tooth fairy talk that i've been doing since the very beginning i love speaking at study clubs i co-created a staffing platform on facebook that has over 4 500 members north carolina dentists assistants office managers hygienists and it's just a platform to connect for people that are looking for jobs or for offices that are looking to hire because staffing is always a need that every dental office is going to have until the end of time so i just differentiated myself just to be the the best so you know you're going to be a bear be a grizzly type thing i'm going to be how am i going to do that better than any other rep um i just worked really hard to do that and continue to do that because i always want to be the best i can be sweet and also for people watching that is exactly how we came across each other of and it's like i love seeing other people who are doing it and just taking it to another level because i saw her but you know kind of looking for reps online then i said look i've seen you a lot before and that's that's the great thing of the technology that we have and that's usually the main thing i'm trying to tell i mean any any business owner any person honestly it doesn't matter if you're in business even if you're looking for a job you should still be branding yourself i know it's the cliche like you know be careful what you post online which is true because at the end of the day you are your own brand you are your own walking brand it's when you walk into a room people either say oh there's kate or it's like oh my god fierce kate right um and so like it you know whatever your industry is but how i came across you is because looking for locally and then i found okay kate she has her own website then i went to facebook so it was like this spiral just kind of going but it's like yup so that's if you're watching this she just gave you a million dollar tip please but brand yourself figure out who you are what you do and make sure that it is as genuine as possible um let's uh this one is going to be a serious question okay let me know if you're ready for this one if you had a an extra 1 million dollars actually we'll do 1.5 million right now right 1.5 million how would you spend it and why i would probably approach it the same way i typically manage my finances which is looking down freeways save share splurge um what i mean by saving is i always take care of the non-fun stuff first it's a personal goal of mine to live a debt-free lifestyle so no credit card balances no debt owed take care of the it's not fun but it's the responsible stuff so put whether it's 401k contributions um i take care of that first um so that would be the same portion sharing portion i think it's really really important to give back to your community to a terrible choice that's important to you it's just part of the circle of life um it makes me feel good to help other people and i think everyone should do it um whether it's in any way whether that's volunteering it doesn't always have to be financial um but just give back in some some way to something that is important to you and then the third is splurge life is short have some fun um and for splurging for me that would 100 if you ask anyone that knows me they would say oh it would be that would be traveling for for me so i live to travel it brings me a great deal of joy and happiness so we would book a trip if not multiple trips so would you go like like right now let's just say you got a text message you're good for work you can go vacation for a month you're gonna don't worry about you're gonna get your money um you have a private jet with your name on it dental cate you can go anywhere you want get the highest you know suites etc where are you going uh we would probably go we had a trip plan to go to scandinavia this year but like many other travel fans that got uh that got axed so i had it all planned out and i want to see it come to life so we would probably go to scandinavia nice sweet um and in in your space and honestly on in any space whether you're an athlete um entrepreneur business owner academic you have to keep learning i know a lot of people think that like once you finish school that's when you stop but i feel like the day that you stopped learning is when it will all stop um what are some things that you do to make sure that you're bettering yourself so you can be able to better others um whether it's reading books or just kind of what are some things that you'd like to share with some people and they can be able to kind of take from sure kind of like what you mentioned earlier when you joined groups um i like to surround myself with other um successful goal-driven smart outgoing creative people whether they're in the dental space or not i really enjoy learning from best practices because regardless of what industry you're in theoretically you can take those foundational components and apply it to any industry whether that's creating a positive customer experience or customer service or marketing initiative so i like to be around the energy of other people to learn from them and of course i like to go to conferences and i read a lot um podcasts dental publications um a little bit of everything but the thing i enjoy the most is being around other people because that's really thrive off of their energy because sometimes we get especially in sales um we're in our own different times and it's hard to get access to oh my god that's a great that's a great idea i'm gonna try that so i like being in those environments because we don't always get access to that right what's um what's a book that you that you would you could read once or twice every single year or one or three times every year i really like a book called the pumpkin patch and that is about basically it starts out with this farmer who has the big pumpkin that wins at the fair every year for the biggest and greatest pumpkin but he only gets this prize winning pumpkin by getting rid of all of the lousy pumpkins that have like disease beads and they're too small they're not the ideal pumpkin and like you and i talked about earlier focus on the things you love and enjoy and do it and then get rid of the bad pumpkins goodness things is the more the more emphasis you put on that prize-winning pumpkin and get rid of all the other dumpy pumpkins that aren't winning um i think they're more streamlined in your vision you will become so i like the pumpkin patch it's focus on what you want focus on your ideal customer and don't focus on anything else and what you're trying to be trying to accomplish wow is it on uh amazon yes oh that will definitely be the book but i'll be getting awesome awesome um so as we as we finish up want to make sure we're respectful of your time uh the next three things i wanted to ask you is of course with the podcast what or who influenced you to influence others the first person that comes to mind is tim sullivan and when i started at henry shine he was the president of henry shine dental and i think true leaders are almost leaders in disguise in a way and what i mean by that is anytime i would speak with tim he was so engaged on how are you how can i help what do you need from us as a company what are you struggling with how can i help and he always made you feel like you're the most important person in the room and he would listen he would remember he would follow up super nice guy but he's also the president of or was was the president of the company so he was very respectful in getting his messaging across but he was also very clear of expectations that he had and henry shine had as a company for their reps um and very much would lead by example and all of those traits combined um was the reason then and still is a very big reason why today i am so fiercely loyal to henry shine is because tim and a few other members of our leadership team did a really great job of creating a culture and a company environment that i wanted to follow and still want to follow and we'll continue to follow so i owe a lot to him and have a ton of respect for him awesome and you mentioned culture can you just kind of talk about in your own words why to me culture is usually one of the most important things like you could have the the the best skills and etc but if your culture fit is not if your culture just does not fit it's it's going to break everything so why is that important no matter what you're doing i think it's important that our company explains its culture to its teams so we're all although we're very different with different uh selling styles personalities of course that's that's normal but we all understand the foundational culture as a company and that is our customers come first we have a very ethical approach to providing solutions um to help our customers achieve their goals which i know that sounds very basic but that's at the core of what we all do and we we love what we do and we love our customers and i think that that shows and i know that they know that awesome sweet and uh what are some words of advice for the people watching this whether they're younger whether they're older younger um what are some advice you can kind of give them whether it's for work family or just from kate what are some words of advice that you can kind of give out to them yeah i saw something the other day that just i loved it and it stuck with me um and it said there are not a lot of roadblocks when you're going the extra mile and it like gives me chills it sounds a little cheesy but i'm like that's what it's all about um so not a lot of roadblocks when you're going the extra mile and that's what i i hope everyone if you want to be the best at what you do go the extra mile put in the extra work put in the extra time get to work early stay late make make the life of your customer easier if you can even though it takes it might take a little more of your time um so yeah so that would be that would be a bit of advice and for younger people or older people any people really work hard and investing in yourself and the type of life that you want to create and live and then go for it i firmly believe that within reason anything is achievable it's not going to be easy necessarily but is it doable totally but you need to figure out first what that looks like for you and then then put a plan together to get there she is dropping knowledge knowledge knowledge knowledge the invoices will be sent to everyone watching this i'll make sure on that um so lastly what's next for you um where can people you know if it's okay where can people reach out to you find out more about um if they want to ask you any questions or just kind of learn more who you are um so yeah go ahead yeah of course you can find me at dentalkate.com i'm blissfully accessible 24 7. i love to learn from other people speak with other people um i'll probably be in the dental world in this role uh hopefully till the end of time i love what i do but i want to continue to function as a sales rep on an accelerated level uh whether that be speaking engagements focusing on the staff platform that i talked about called triangle dental solutions mentoring other young reps who are going to suffer through those first three years just like i did and help giving them support and mentorship along the way and then i also have a very strong focus with the dental students that graduate and are looking to start their practices for the first time so really focusing on helping them with that process because it can be a little daunting awesome sweet awesome so everybody watching you heard her uh re-watch this again and again and again um and also i would like to give you advice that people watching is like take action when i when i saw you know all her information i remember i told myself i was like let me just send her an email but then like i literally thought to myself i'm like what and i at this time i have no idea who she is i have not talked to her but i've seen her everywhere online and i'm like in my head what would she do and i was like i feel like she would call i was like oh okay might as well i was like no again the worst thing someone can do is not pick up but i'll just keep following up um but yeah so i just went ahead and just straight called her and i remember i was in the car and everything um so yeah just take action and you literally never know what can happen um and so i just want to say thank you for coming on and sharing your story and your wisdom to everyone thank you this is wonderful i appreciate your time so thank you so much | Emmanuel Kamau | UCfII76DixITJABI7j0XXjfA | 2020-09-05 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en |

OKe5Pa23JrI | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKe5Pa23JrI | C-Beam® XLarge Linear Actuator Build | [Applause] so in today's build video we are going to be showing you a step-by-step build along video for our nema 23 lead screw actuator with our xl gantry plate so as you can see this is a super nice actuator definitely have a rigid design here with our extra large plate it's perfect for any type of building project as you can see this basically consists of our modular designs with our machines so any type of cnc machine is going to be made up of different actuators so this is a perfect example of what you can do with open builds modular system the sky's the limit with this stuff guys it's definitely super fascinating once you get into it you're going to learn more and more about how these systems work and how these different parts go together to create whatever you can dream of so definitely looking forward to starting this build with you guys let's go ahead and get started all right so on this first step we are going to be assembling our extreme wheel so we're going to need our extreme wheel shell along with two of our open builds bearings two of our precision shims and one of our nylon hex nuts this will all be included in the kit so go ahead and empty out the contents and we're gonna go ahead and assemble this wheel taking one of your open builds bearings we're gonna place it in the top snap it into place rotate the wheel and add your precision shim and then take your additional open builds bearing and close it in just like so so now we're going to assemble our additional three wheels and once we get that done we'll move on to the next step guys all right guys moving forward here we are going to be assembling our anti-backlash nut block to our extra large gantry plate of course we're going to need our extra large gantry plate one of our anti-backlash nut blocks two of our nylon hex nuts two of our three millimeter aluminum spacers two of our precision shims and two of our 20 millimeter screws so first we're going to go ahead and take notice to our center holes here and where we're going to be placing our anti-backlash nut block so in this case we're actually going to be placing them in these two holes so we're going to go ahead and run both of our 20 millimeter screws through the plate just go ahead and rotate this around we're going to go ahead and take our three millimeter aluminum spacers and place them on top of the screws along with our precision shims we're going to take our anti-backlash nut block we're going to place it on top with our hex design holes facing upwards towards us this is where our hex nuts will fit in place all right so go ahead and take your nylon hex nuts and we're going to go ahead and place them into the grooved holes here then we're going to go ahead and tighten the system down all right now once you have that tightened down we're going to go ahead and put this system to the side for now and we'll move on to our next step all right guys moving on to the next step here we are going to be assembling our wheels to our extra large gantry plate so in this step we are going to take our screws and place them into each each one of these holes here on the ends of the plate we're also going to need four of our extreme wheels four of our precision shims four of our nylon hex nuts two of our six millimeter eccentric spacers two of our six millimeter aluminum spacers four of our 27 millimeter screws and of course our ball driver so to get started here guys we're gonna go ahead and place our screws into each one of these holes noticing that the top three holes here are gonna be for our centrics so we're gonna go ahead and place one more screw here on this top left corner and then the bottom two holes here for our fixed side which will be for the aluminum spacers two more on each corner let's go ahead and rotate the plate around now that we have our screws in place here we're gonna go ahead and start our stacking configuration working on the fixed side first we're gonna go ahead and take our six millimeter aluminum spacers and place them on the screws followed by our precision shims and then we're gonna go ahead and add our extreme wheels if you have a situation like this where your precision shim is caught in the middle of the wheel all you have to do is simply roll it onto the screw and the center of gravity will find its place all right so now we're going to go ahead and cap it with our nylon hex nuts here all right so now that side's done we're going to go ahead and move on to our centric side so let's go ahead and take our centric spacers taking notice to our stamp portion here that has the six millimeter sign here we're basically going to point that away from our fixed side because it works as a cam as you adjust it so it's going to tighten the wheels to the track so make sure that you place that away from the fixed side all right we're going to go ahead and add our precision shims next and our extreme wheels and once again we're gonna go ahead and cap these with our nylon hex nuts that way we can turn this assembly to the side and tighten it down properly all right so now let's go ahead and tilt this system to the side and let's go ahead and grab our ball driver and spanner wrench and let's tighten the system down guys all right perfect that looks great guys so it's coming along nicely we have our gantry plate pretty much assembled so we're going to go ahead and put this to the side for now and we'll move on to our next step all right guys moving forward here to the next step on this step we are going to be adjusting our eccentric spacers to our 500 millimeter c beam so in this step we're gonna go ahead and grab our assembly that we have thus far and our 500 millimeter c beam along with our spanner wrench so we're gonna go ahead and take our c beam along with our gantry system that we have and we're gonna go ahead and run this onto the track with our anti-backlash nut block in the middle here so it's gonna run in between the channel here of your c beam as you can see so go ahead and slide that on if you have any resistance and you're gonna have to adjust your eccentrics so we're gonna go ahead and adjust those now i have a little too much preload so now that's gonna slide right onto the c beam and as you can see we have movement in our gantry system we don't want that so we're going to go ahead and adjust our eccentrics and tighten these wheels down to our tracks let's go ahead and grab our spanner wrench and tighten down these eccentrics rotating them all in the same direction that's nice and tight all right that's perfect so once you actually get the wheels tightened to the track you should have enough rigidity to keep the wheel in place but also have movement on your track so as you can see i can spin this out a little bit that's exactly what you want it's still a little bit stiff but not too tight you definitely don't want to put too much torque on there guys you can mess up your wheels so that's perfect guys as you can see this moves nice and smooth that's looking really sharp guys good job so far so let's go ahead and put this to the side and we'll move on to our next step alright guys so on this step we are going to be assembling our c-beam end mounts to our assembly that we have thus far so we're going to need our assembly as well as two of our c beam end mounts eight of our 20 millimeter screws and our ball driver so let's go ahead and get started taking one of our c beam end mounts i'm going to go ahead and place it here on the end of the c beam making sure that the recessed side is facing inward that'll be for placement of the bearing for our lead screw so let's go ahead and place that taking our 20 millimeter screws we're gonna go ahead and thread those into the c beam all right so we're gonna go ahead and tighten that down now all right perfect so now we're going to go ahead and rotate this assembly around and we're going to do the same process for this other side so let's go ahead and get that done guys all right excellent so that's looking really sharp guys we have our inbounds in place here so our system is coming along great we're going to go ahead and put this to the side for now and move on to our next steps all right guys moving on to the final step here we are going to be assembling our lead screw to our actuator as well as mounting our motor to our actuator so in this step we're going to need our 500 millimeter lead screw one of our nema 23 motors two of our 40 millimeter aluminum spacers two of our 50 millimeter screws one of our flexible couplings with a quarter inch bore two of our eight millimeter shims two of our eight millimeter lock collars and two of our eight millimeter bearings in addition to that we're going to need our tooling which is our ball driver set here which you can purchase on open builds parts store definitely recommend it guys very useful tool set you can use on all kinds of your builds so definitely recommend it guys all right so let's go ahead and get started here taking our motor we're going to go ahead and attach our flexible coupling paying attention to the quarter inch bore this is going to attach to our motor shaft and the opposite end which is slightly larger it's gonna be for our lead screw so let's go ahead and place this on top making sure that our set screws align with the flat part of the motor shaft we're gonna go ahead and tighten those down all right we're gonna go ahead and rotate this back around and then we're gonna tighten down these additional screws here on the flexible coupling we're gonna leave this top screw here loose because this is gonna attach to our lead screw all right so that looks great guys so let's go ahead and mount this to our c beam end mount as you can see we have two threaded holes here on the bottom for the purpose of mounting our motor so we're going to go ahead and take our two 50 millimeter screws and place them here on our bottom corners of the motor then we're going to take our 40 millimeter aluminum spacers and place them on top of the screw like a sleeve and what i generally do is i'll line each screw with the holes here and i'll tighten one down first and then work on the other all right perfect that looks great guys our motor is secure onto our c beam end mount as you can see it is rigid definitely a good design so we're going to go ahead and take our lead screw which we're going to feed through on the opposite side of the actuator so let's go ahead and rotate the system around and we're simply going to feed the lead screw through the end of the cb c beam end mount and we're going to add our additional parts starting with our eight millimeter bearing our eight millimeter shim and our lock collar all right so now we're going to go ahead and make sure that these parts all stay towards the end of the c-beam end mount and we're going to feed the lead screw through to our anti-backlash nut block and we're going to rotate our lead screw through the anti-backlash nut block to the other side all right so as you're feeding it through we're going to pay attention to the other end of the lead screw because we're going to add additional parts to the opposite end of the actuator just continue to rotate that through all right perfect so now we're going to go ahead and add our additional parts starting with our lock collar our eight millimeter shim and our eight millimeter bearing all right so let's go ahead and rotate this all the way to the opposite end of the actuator all right so now i'm gonna go ahead and turn this system to the side here so the lead screw is going to attach to our flexible coupling here as you can see it's protruding out of the end mount now we're going to continue to rotate that until it gets into the flexible coupling you want to make sure it locks into place and you'll see the flexible coupling rotate that's exactly what we want guys so on the opposite end here you can see that the lead screw is flush to the c beam end mount that looks great so let's go ahead and take our parts and lock them into place remember our recessed hole here on the cbm mount is going to accept the eight millimeter bearing so now all we have to do is tighten down our lock collar all right perfect so now we're gonna do the same thing on the opposite side here make sure it's nice and tight and if you get any movement on your lock collar it could be because of the pitch of the threads on the lead screw so just adjust it around and tighten it down and it'll find its place to seat so you can see there's no movement here in my lock collar that's exactly what we want guys now let's go ahead and tighten down our flexible coupling all right that's perfect guys we have rotation in our gantry system as you can see that looks awesome guys so now you have a nema 23 lead screw actuator with our extra large gantry plate that looks excellent guys great job [Music] | OpenBuilds | UCw80fFdoAlQzERoYxWPeI1w | 2018-07-30 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en |

nlrAUGqJ6Rg | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlrAUGqJ6Rg | Antony Beevor and Clive Myrie. Russia: Revolution and Civil War 1917–1921 | foreign [Music] good afternoon thank you so much for joining us today on this sunny Saturday afternoon thank you for everybody in person for joining and a big hello to those online joining wherever you are around the world um before I introduce my speakers I just want to go through some housekeeping apologies if some of you heard this before um we'll be taking questions towards the end of the session for those here in person there'll be a mic roving around for our online audience do submit questions on the question box it's below your video online audiences can also use the tabs above the video to buy and have a browse of speaker books the event will also have live captioning and there'll be BSL interpretation for those who need it for those online look at the tabs below the video on the morning of the 24th of February last year all of us witnessed something that had not been seen for Generations war on European soil when Russia invaded Ukraine I use the term witness deliberately because history is not confined confined to textbooks we experience history as it unfolds whether it's on live blogs on our phones or watching our news anchors on television my name is Shafi and I'm a journalist and I like to think of my job as similar to that of a historians we observe we interpret and we report and for many years I covered British politics in the Comforts of that here in London but two months ago I swapped life in London to live in Estonia where I'm now just a two-hour drive from the Russian border and I've been observing the spillover effects of Russia on its European Neighbors and like many of its neighbors Estonia was annexed into the Soviet Union and re-emerged as independent in 1991 weirdly the year of my birth and you speak to anyone above 32 and they will tell you this in fluent English and these are direct quotes I've had do not be so naive about Russia indeed you Western Europeans are incredibly naive about Russia's past as well as its present so here's a chance to rectify some of those concerns today what you're about to hear is not a talk about Vladimir Putin or the KGB rather it's an attempt to understand modern day Russia at its embryonic stages because to understand Russia as it is today we must understand its beginnings so our two guests each bring their own set of expertise we have science niba his books include Stalingrad Berlin D-Day the battle for Spain and second World War so Anthony's a historian of War and he's received major prizes in the UK and abroad and he sold more than eight and a half million copies so far and we have Clive MYRY the BBC's Chief news correspondents he's had a career spanning more than 30 years across the globe from Africa Asia Europe and was the former Washington correspondence I'm sure many of you remember watching Clive at the onset of the Russian invasion in Kiev last year and I'm informed that Clive won a royal television Society award for that recently so before I hand over to both Sir Anthony and Clive please could you give our guests a warm Round of Applause [Applause] thank you so much for that introduction um so Anthony I'm a fan I've been for a long time so it's a pleasure collaboration we'll Pat each other um congratulations on a wonderful book full of Rich detail as to be expected from Sir Anthony vividly bringing to life this momentous moment in 20th century history most people I think are aware of who the reds are and the whites maybe even the blacks the anarchists in all of this who eventually fell out with the Reds then there are the greens the local militias opposed to the Reds and land requisitioning at the time opposed to the whites and foreigners um who were involved in the conflict the British the French the Americans and so on this was a global conflagration which is something I think we should remember you make brilliant use of course of diaries for coffee Vladimir dimitrivich Nabokov the great righteous dad to one of tolsto's daughters then of course the archive search across Russia and of course you dedicate the book to Luba vinogradova the Russian historian who helped put all this together so this might sound like a weird question to begin with but I'm going to ask it anyway how do you decide what are you going to put in and what you're going to leave out um good question and not an easy one necessary to answer you're always conscious especially when you're dealing with such Horrors as one's leading with here um you know do you run the risk of writing what some people would describe almost just War pornography because of the Horrors on the other hand I would follow Wesley Grossman's reaction when he wrote about Treblinka he said it's the duty of the writer to write it and it is the civilian duty of the reader to read it now whether I'm not suggesting that people are obliged to read it by any means but um I think that you really do have to present it and there's a particularly important reason why one needs to bring out these Horrors because and it was also in many ways the reason why I wrote the book in the first place not because of the heartless but because all historians I think now have more or less recognized that the first world war was the original catastrophe of the 20th century but it was the Russian Civil War with this it's very Horrors it's destruction it's cruelties on sadism in many cases created such a vicious circle of fear between left and right that we saw rarely the way that it dominated or at least led to uh the 20th century where's the Spanish Civil War and then the second world war and really the split between left and right the fear are on the right of the middle classes that they were going to be annihilated as Lenin had promised or the fair on the left was that the white counter-reaction would crush liberalism and socialism uh in every form um this sort of manicurean split which was created really did affect Europe and Beyond um and that is why I think one really does have to emphasize those Horrors um I mean obviously there are one one or two which I say ghastly that you feel you've done enough anyway in terms of signaling uh what it is but it also links in with something which I'm sure we'll talk about which is I'm trying to understand why it should have been so much more horrific for example in the Russian Civil War than in the Spanish Civil War where yes they will put people up against a wall from the other side and shoot them um but that was partly out of fear but also to prevent them coming back to shoot them uh in Russia there was an element really of as I say sadism um and one needs in a way to understand where all this comes from because obviously it is not just a question of the Russian Civil War but we saw it in 1945 or in the Revenge of the Red Army uh as it Advanced into Germany um and of course we are seeing it in Ukraine as well yeah we'll get into the horrors a little bit later on but how difficult is it telling this particular story without getting bogged down in political ideology trotskyism leninism stalinism and and so on how important is it to try to keep the aims of the protagonists simple and straightforward again I think it is important to try to to clarify things a little I mean virtually every book on the subject of the Russian Revolution has usually come from political historians emphasizing the ideological splits whether within the Central Committee of the Bolshevik party or whatever it might be because that's their expertise well I came early from a different direction actually Orlando who's a video friend um said you know it is about time that somebody actually read it from a military point of view because we haven't really seen that at all uh so that was that that encouraged me as you might imagine very much from the in the early early days um I think the the thing to do is I think one can I hope I haven't oversimplified it but I think one's got to be able to explain how Lenin out of his simple Brilliance I mean Lenin's Brilliance uh was his ability to spot the weaknesses in others and in the situations and he showed incredible foresight when it was the question of the Treaty of brexitosk with the Germans uh in March 1918 which um for the Germans it was the biggest success of the whole of the first World War uh suddenly they were occupying almost a third of um of European Russia if not more and the whole of Ukraine um but Lenin realized it was worth the humiliation when everybody else in the bolsh rate party refused to do it so one's got to understand what Lenin's real identity and real objectives were and how he achieved it and he certainly he certainly managed it but he when you got somebody who knows exactly what they want to do and everybody else is sort of rather confused and worrying about sort of democratic niceties or whatever I'm afraid the person who knows where they want to go has a distinct Advantage indeed I mean was there a sense that in writing this book you were perhaps demystifying communist mythology surrounding the revolution to to an extent the storming of the winter palaces is is a good example I think I think most of that have been done already it really actually started um in sort of 91 92 I mean General volcagonos biography of Lenin was the very first which actually showed that lenient was just as ghastly as Stalin and all of the horrors that we always associate with Stalin whether the secret police the gulag or whatever actually it all started underlying it um so linen has had a very easy ride um usually uh of course supported by Soviet mythology during all of the there's Cold War years um but it didn't take very long for people to realize that actually that was uh um that that really was mythology rather than reality I mean you capture very profoundly I think the chaos and Oddities and black humor sometimes of War um your description of the panic before the Red Army arrived in Odessa for instance the Panic of trying to to get out of the city on the last evacuation ship just reminds me of Sudan now those Left Behind hiding their spectacles so that they don't look like they're intellectuals um dressing you like peasants you know hiding books growing beards there is an absurdity to war isn't there to to conflict that that is is part of the experience of conflict yes an experience is really what one needs to do I mean I think we always think that the duty of the historian is to understand and to try to sort of pass on that understanding and for that you've really got to give a flavor of what it's like at the time I mean you're absolutely right to Signal the whole thing about spectacles um you know that uh as far as uh The Peasants the workers um who'd had absolutely nothing have been so badly treated um they needed some sort of symbol in a way for identifying what they thought with their class enemies and for many of them of course you didn't wear a tie um that would have been too much of a giveaway or a hat um but spectacles too uh would basically uh put you in the category of what Lenin described as basically the uh sort of liberal bourgeoisie of the Intelligentsia um which meant you were also on the on the killing list scary stuff yes but I mean one's got to understand the sort of the the really deep deep divide and the effects that it might have because we from our position today cannot imagine it otherwise how difficult is it to get under the skin of the peasantry ah very very hard I mean you know you can uh I mean there are some there have been some wonderful books I mean obviously you can imagine but not just uh history books but obviously some of the great some of the great novels of the past uh to understand how for many of the peasantry uh the idea of the tsar and autocracy and the Orthodox Church um we're sort of you know permanent fixtures which uh they could never imagine doing without uh until the opportunity started to come which was really in sort of 1917 and the the disintegration of the Russian of the tsarist army Uh Russian history had shown how there was an incredible forbearance amongst the peasantry of the suffering that they absorbed the suffering that they went through um and um and then they would explode uh in Anger when one had the sort of Puka Chef Rebellion or whatever it might be and this is very much Alexander Pushkin described as you know Russian Revolt uh senseless and merciless but it is getting that perspective from writers yes um from others because of course you know the presence necessarily perhaps you know illiterate wouldn't have written stuff down they wouldn't have left their own personal records of what's going but then in the 19th century Century I mean you had the sort of um many of the young um students sort of went to the country they went to the pleasantry right um and they would turn up uh with tremendous um idealism and uh in in in The Villages um and the peasants in many cases would actually chase them out or uh basically um denote them to the police because they knew that they were going to be troubled uh if they started if they started listening to them but also because um to be suddenly told well actually uh we should all do away with the existing structure um was something which was too much for them um to imagine and they found that distinctly alarming but you know they had so many reasons for uh resentment but unfortunately this turned into sort of massive destruction in all directions whether it was the burning of manor houses and even the sort of um destruction of uh of livestock but when when it wasn't necessarily a stolen yeah yeah I mean breast liftoffs you've mentioned that a little bit um the treaty 1918 Russia withdraws from World War One um how interesting to talk talking about trying to find comedy in in all of this yeah I'm afraid that's tough I'm at the conference with the uh with the Germans to discuss terms things like you know where I'm going with this one and the Russian delegation included intellectuals soldiers but they forgot to include any peasants um so they weighlay a random chap off a farm I don't know how they get him on Route and they persuade him to come along to the conference and uh he's at the Grand dinner at the end of the day and he's asked whether he wants red wine or white wine and he says whichever is strongest I wonder breasts litowsk that treaty is that the beginning of everything that we're seeing today in Ukraine is it the beginning of the Russians trying to desperately to get back those territories that they lost as a result of that treaty in the Second World War is that the original sin to a degree of what we're seeing now in Ukraine um I don't think it had it had a big effect at the time what one has to remember was that unlike the Finns uh who were able to seize the opportunity um and the opportunity came where when we've heard I mean it's ridiculous but Putin Blends Lenin uh for having offered the possibility of self-determination uh to the different um populations or nationalities of the Russian Empire and uh what he didn't realize was that actually The Finnish white uh were going to be far better organized and actually have the military experience because they'd sent a lot of their guys to Germany and they've been serving in Jaeger regiments and so they were able to form themselves into a very effective force and that's where the Soviet Union lost Finland um Ukraine I mean particular uh and the Ukrainian nationalists were very small in terms of numbers on the ground and they had really no forces at all very very few um and the few troops they had when they marched through Kiev uh were all dressed in um costumes from the Opera um from the Opera of those operations uh which sort of reproduced of course uh rather contemptuous laughter amongst the uh great Russians of course they called themselves um who looked down on the little Russians um Ukraine didn't really have a chance for a very long time but it's um culture um still sort of kept going thank goodness under in a way almost underground but I think that it was let's face it it was the uh the whole or the uh famines of the 30s um started by scarlin um which really I think created this sort of angry political nationalism rather than just the cultural nationalism which on the whole had sort of existed up until there and Ukraine did have a distinct culture oh yes it did it certainly did I mean you know it had it had some of its great poets it had painters and so forth um but of course they were sort of seen just as sort of you know local Regional uh Regional characters uh from a perspective from Moscow hmm and as a result then what Putin is saying today is incorrect it's not it's owned in distinct culture it's not got its own distinct Heritage that's all nonsense well it is I mean what I find ironic in a way is that um uh Putin um goes on about sort of that Kiev was the origin of Russian culture um well I mean from that point of view then uh Russia should be part of Ukraine I mean you know it's a ludicrous it's a ludicrous argument and we've had one ludicrous argument from him after another I mean as for his lecture the year before the uh uh the year before the invasion a lot of that written written by midinsky the former culture Minister uh who's an idiot of the first water um I am I mean I'll do a very quick example um Putin is desperate to get Kazakhstan back so he spent a fortune making this film called Pantry law for his 28 men and this is a a an extravaganza war movie uh showing how just 28 soldiers under the command of a Russian they were all kazakhs of course um managed to hold up a German Panzer Division will the head of the National Archives of Garth uh said well we know this a total rubbish because in our archives um we've got this report from a journalist with Christina the Red Army newspaper uh saying how this whole story was invented for propaganda reasons medinsky immediately said anybody who doubts the story even if it's untrue is below slime I mean that gives you an idea if you feel like the intellectual quality uh of some of the people surrounding but the I think the interesting thing we most always forget uh which is another Paradox of course is that Putin is an inheritor of the white Russian tradition not the Reds there were the White Russian Exiles and they were the ones who came up with this the whole idea of holy slav Orthodox Russia which has the right to dominate the whole of the Eurasian land mass as Dugan said you know from Vladivostok to Dublin um because of their spiritual superiority um but as I say this came from the whites and you've only got to look at the Kremlin which has not a single symbol of the Soviet Union really left in it uh just statues of SARS and of course Putin's Palace on the Black Sea which is entirely uh gold double-headed Eagles and that sort of ties into the suggestion that it's the Russian Empire he's trying to constitute not the Soviet Union um I mentioned a little bit about the Americans and the Canadians and the French and the serbs I mean this is a global conflict isn't it just just talk a little bit about that well it wasn't I mean most of them didn't really do any fighting um I mean the British the only people who really did any fighting on say for example the British which was quite a large uh contribution purely in material terms I.E uh Churchill to help the whites uh were giving them the the spare ammunition and uniforms and guns or whatever left over from the first world war because one has to remember that up until uh the end of um more or less of 1918 um we couldn't get into the Black Sea because of the Turks and so it was any really with the Turkish surrender that that was possible but the Japanese landed 84 000 troops all together in Vladivostok uh because they wanted to take over part of the maritime region in the Far East nowadays what are we seeing we're saying we know that she wants to get Vladivostok back um you know as which quite rightly one can understand you know getting back to the unequal treaties of the of the 19th 19th century um so I mean if you like Putin Putin is um having sitting down to tea with a tiger uh when he's dealing with uh she but he's got no option and it's interesting because you talk about there's there's a a section of the book called the Fatal compromise um and that is where all these Outsiders are trying to sort of you know uh influence events yes um do you see any parallels between that outside influence and now in the sense that some weapons are being sent moral support is being sent but there are troops on the ground and as a result you end up with this well we might win we might not win we're not sure situation well you're once never shown especially not in a civil war um but I think on the whole one can say that actually um NATO and Jen stoltenberg the Secretary General have actually handled things pretty well considering the complications of the circumstances um you know that they have not gone too far too fast uh when it's a question of provoking all the to avoid the danger of provoking uh the the Russians too far but at the same time um at least enabling uh Ukraine to defend itself where we go next will rather depend on obviously the Ukrainian counter-offensive coming in the uh in the spring um but I I think that actually the coordination now is far far better than in say in 1919 uh which was really was the sort of the crucial year of the of the Russian Civil War I mean the the community indications were ridiculous I mean you have Admiral Kolchak in Siberia you have General danikin down in the South and the Caucasus uh and udonic in the Baltic um and quite often it took three weeks for any message to pass between them and this is why Churchill was getting it wrong so often was because something he didn't have the information at the time and of course should we say a certain amount of a certain amount of uh over optimism on Churchill's part um as Lloyd George put it he said Churchill is the grandson of the Duke um was about a grandson of the Duke which of course uh rather bound to be opposed to those who were killing Grand Dukes in their interactions you know but I just but I just wonder if that I mean you you believe then that the the pace of Western support for Ukraine at the moment um you know taking eight nine months before they decide they're going to send them leopard tanks for instance you know that um weariness makes sense or is it simply creating and continuing the war in a way that means that the Russians are simply not being dealt with as quickly as possible well you're quite right one can I argue it both ways um and there's certainly an element of uh money should say even moral code is um you know for Germany having got it so badly wrong in the past in terms of the threat coming from the East and the belief I mean it's amazing how we keep repeating the same mistakes before the first world war the Greek bestseller was Norman hell's book which argued that um war in Europe was absolutely impossible this was coming out in 1910 uh and republished in the beginning of 1914. um war in Europe was Unthinkable because we were so integrated through Commerce and Communications well we hear Angela Merkel doing exactly making exactly the same mistake we don't get dictators we then get dictator syndrome um the British and the French in the 30s could not believe that anybody would be stupid enough to want another war in Europe after the first world war and they totally underestimated Hitler and that again is why um we underestimated Putin's determination to take back Ukraine by force um you mentioned at the beginning um atrocities and the way that the war was prosecuted um the Revolution and then the Civil War the violence in your book is is is graphic and it's from all sides yes that needs to be acknowledged routine hacking of men women and children to death mutilations eye gouging castration nailing epaulettes to men's shoulders raping nurses um people roasted over fires putting blast furnaces strung up by their limbs Mass starvation yes yes um I was in uh butcher um this would be exactly a year ago and we saw the masquerades and one wonders if what I saw is simply the continuation of a Russian way of Prosecuting Wars or it's just War prosecuted by anybody horrible anyway well war is never certainly never Pleasant it's only a question of degrees of horror but one does need to get looked back into Russian history to try to understand why uh Russian forces uh do not follow the same sort of uh code of conduct as say Western European or American forces uh I mean obviously you know they we've known of an American and even the old British atrocity and so forth citizen question I'm trying to pretend that it never happens but on the whole question of whether it's the uh General run of things or whether it's exceptional in the case of Russia um I think that a number of historians not all agree but would go back to the 13th century and the Mongol invasions which a gave the Russians the impression that the world was again them that um they were surrounded and this mentality uh of sort of rush Contra mundum um but it was also the fact that the uh Mongol way of war was a war of Terror which meant uh mass murder of civilians Mass rape Mass uh destruction of towns and cities um as if that was the only and the most uh cost effective method of warfare so um where where do the changes come well I mean let's face it uh it was pretty horrific through most of the Middle Ages where uh if a city was put to the store it was soared after um um after being captured or um even worse in the uh 17th century the wars of religion in Europe uh were just as horrific as anything which the Russians are perpetrated but there was one particular difference I think and that was that in Europe we did have the enlightenment uh which started to change ideas and of course there were many more humanitarian developments in the 19th century like the invention of the Red Cross and a whole lot of other other aspects I mean what we do have tended to under wrestling is also how badly the Russians treat their own people we've seen this in Ukraine I remember in the early 90s um when I was in Russia the way that um of the conscripts for the Russian army um there were up to 5 000 suicides a year because course of the way they've been bullied and treated and all the rest of it and Russian generals just thought this was funny I mean they simply laughed at any idea of that and what do we see in Ukraine we see mobile uh um crematoria so to be able to conceal the number of soldiers uh Mass Graves without their bodies being returned to families um and I mean you know when you get to pregocian and Wagner and the idea of sort of you know uh you you beat your um you beat any deserted to death with sledgehammers well I mean that comes actually out straight out of the SS Playbook um where the SS had this idea that uh Cameron which meant a lesson in comrade meant that anybody who deserted um had to be beaten to death by their own comrades um and and it is that sort of mentality it will also explain perhaps why for example a British or a French or an American Army would never have survived at Stalingrad um but well it worked I mean that's the bottom line it worked it that brutal it it was that brutal but I mean in many cases it was also genuine self-sacrifice uh as well as uh total Terror of uh the consequences if you did uh run away yeah so um I mean you know when you have an army which is prepared to shoot down for example Russian children the snipers were ordered to shoot down Russian children at Stalingrad uh because they were being bribed I mean they were starving they'd been trapped behind German lines um they were being bribed with a Krust of bread by a cell just simply to fill their water bottle in the vulgar um so well well civilians were targeted by snipers in in Sarajevo yes um that happened there too I also wonder if the the the extreme level of violence it's sort of tied in with everything you've said but also tied in with the fact that this was an ideological war the Revolution and the Civil War it was about ideas so you were not just defeating another human being you were defeating an ideology and to a degree that makes it even more important to crush it and to crush it violently um lenient relies right from the start don't mess with ideas as far as talking to the general population um he just used sound bites and in fact in the book I mean to describe the way that uh young uh Carter's young Bosch ricardas are being taught sunbite sunbite Sun bites um don't get involved in any discussion um and it was far more effective in that particular way and it was the way that um Lenin dehumanized his opponents you know they were they were lice they were Vermin they were rats they deserved to be crushed um which was so effective um the whites actually had no ideology really apart from getting back restoring the old ways and that's why Red Terror and white Terror were rather different I mean white Terror actually was just bitter resentment and having had their Estates burned down on their things stolen from their houses or whatever it might be um and but you know know Red Terror was in many cases like also in the Spanish Civil War when you are in an area where you know you're not actually an affirm majority um and then people will adopt methods of Terror simply to cow the population I mean when you come across some of these characters um vividly are we onto the Psychopaths uh um yeah I mean you know the sun goes down the Checker Madman yes um uh slashov um you know he and I love this description Anthony he had the air of an overgrown and corrupt cherub an eccentric General cocaine addict um who took his pet crow in a cage into battle yes when you come across these characters do you just think this is gonna be a great book where did they be amazing where do they come from exactly I mean I when you come across them what do you think what goes through your mind well you know that war and especially Civil War will always bring the most violent and often quite often the maddest to the surface because they're the ones who stand out I mean not just slash off but I mean scorer um who with his with his wolfner of uh yeah the psycho Cossack the psycho Cossacks I mean you know the contacts were terrifying I mean literally a terrible things no doubt about it I probably still are today but anyway um and um he actually was handed over by the British handed back to Stalin uh along with a lot of the Cross hacks at the end of 1945 and of course was uh executed then and most of them didn't survive umstein bag I had a whole other chapter on unground Sternberg who was the worst of the lot I mean totally mad he was basically a Buddhist but at the same time um he was such a ferocious anti-semite he made he made Himmler look look an absolute choir boy in comparison um I mean something as you say I mean some of these characters are simply astonishing was I mean some of them were brilliant Cavalry commanders um but I mean they should have been locked up at the moment though well in fact they should have been locked up before the war started but in fact they should certainly be locked up as soon as the war ended but in most cases they were arrested and then executed yeah I mean is there anyone that comes out of the book where you think you know this is this is this is a person who's honorable who's decent who who was trying to do something well yes General couple who was one of the few white generals who really was I think uh an admirable man he was not uh one of the hard lines artist officers I mean he was he was basically a right socialist revolutionary which meant basically he was sort of a moderate socialist um who was literally loved by the soldiers and above by everybody else uh and Putin had his body returned to Russia and um reburied as well as danikin who was the great commander in the science so again this was the thing of um Putin's admiration really for uh the White Court it took about the white course was it was it doomed to failure yes because it's such there you go let's move on um group of you know anti-red anti this anti that but not really working together no you're quite right I mean the uh question of the the wake uh Alliance is we're going to describe it it's a sort of three basic elements to it uh one were the uh there was what's called komuch which was basically the uh those uh Associates revolutionaries who still believed in the constituent assembly assembly never forget to forgive the Bolsheviks uh for having destroyed uh their one chance of democracy in Russia um but they of course were in a minority and when it came to military Affairs they were bound to be out voted out commanded if you like by all of the white generals um who had joined up with the uh with janiki you know or with with Kolchak um so you have the zorist officers in general the most militant actually were the young lieutenants or whatever who'd seen their livelihoods destroyed taken away their inheritance from their families and all the rest of it and they were the sort of really angry uh bitter ones the old generals tended to be to thoroughly corrupt uh they were just trying to make enough money during the war so as to pay for their Exile because I think most of them knew that they weren't gonna win um and then the third number of course is the cost act well the Cossacks were actually the most ferocious uh and in many ways the most effective a lot but they weren't interested really in fighting outside Cossack territory uh so whether in Siberia or whether in uh the Caucasus and the Don Basin um you know they weren't very reliable from that point of view so you have this basically uh Alliance which is in many ways incompatible uh the irony is but there's a lesson to it of course if you look at the Spanish Civil War you have total Unity on the white nationalist side under Franco which of course is far more effective in military Affairs um but you don't get that on the uh on the red side because they were all quarreling amongst each other in the Russian Civil War it's exactly the opposite way around yeah that's a really interesting comparison I mean do you see any are there any connections between Tsar Nicholas Putin um in the sense that they are surrounded by their own Echo chip that they're being given information that they want to hear that they're not necessarily fully aware of what is going outside well I'm sorry Nicholas II frankly it was um I mean he was somebody with so many complexes I mean it went even before becoming Czar um he was short and all of the other Grand Dukes in the romanovs were all incredibly tall um and he he actually said in a pathetic way to one of his cousins who's going to take orders from a dwarf um he had no confidence at all and the terrifying thing was of course that his uh wife the empress Alexandra uh of course was um you know a far stronger character and dominated him um completely um but that's or should we say that's really another story around Putin and this is actually in a way I think I'd compare it slightly with the Soviet Union and it's actually one of the frightening things it's that even in the Soviet Union um you may have had a big boss uh whether Stalin or whoever or britishness later on or whatever but there was always a line of succession if things were going to go wrong uh there is no line of succession here I mean yes we may see a palace Palace coup or a vote uh do we see Patricia for even more Savers from uh pregosian um but the thing is that Putin has created so many different organizations um on the basis of divide and Rule so you didn't have just have the gru Military Intelligence or the FSB or the svr which is foreign intelligence um you also have the Wagner group uh who's increasingly uh unpredictable and its leader Immortal uh you have the Army um and you ought to have the National Guard which it responds directly to Putin himself so he's his only interest is actually staying in power which does make negotiation of any form uh almost impossible and I mean I was discussing actually with a sort of a big strip of that from a couple of days ago um about the one of the real dangers is that in Cold War one we could usually trust what Chinese and Russian communist leaders had said when they had made given their word on something they were they usually stuck to it we're now in Cold War too and you cannot count on that anymore they are prepared to break their word at any moment and this is actually making conventional diplomacy almost impossible and as a geopolitical change that is deeply scary and it makes concluding the war necessarily potentially around a negotiating table very hard yes I mean I thought that uh solenski was going to threaten Crimea so to use that as a bargaining chip I was ticked off by another British Ambassador who'd been Ambassador in Ukraine before it was extremely impressive and she said to me listen um you're wrong in fact zelinski is so angry about the atrocities so angry about the hurdle of setup and I'm sure this is probably corresponds with what you discovered in your time in Ukraine um that um he's not going to stop until he's got every single soldier out of crime yeah now he can do it by cutting off Crimea both pericop and the coach bridge and then the water and all the rest of it um but you know will that still be a basis because Putin and actually I'm also most Russians not just Putin um see Crimea as sort of existential Russia uh and I'm not sure that they would ever accept it at the same time zelenski has also got his own constituency of his people and they have been through all manner of privations yes and to hand over Crimea would be rewarding aggression wouldn't it well that would be a game back to 1904 that's right to 2014 um you're you're right I mean say rewarding is it's difficult the Russians wouldn't see it in that way well no we have to see we have to see there are two totally incompatible perspectives yeah uh you know on the status of Crimea and as far as the Russians are concerned you know Catherine the Great potemkin uh sevastopol or whatever um that you know Crimea was always Uh Russian and just because uh Khrushchev decided on a whim to hand it over to Ukraine um they didn't regard us as relevant um and there is an element of Truth in that I mean not that um I believe that actually the only way to end the war in fact is for zelinski to take Crimea because for Putin that would be uh the the worst disaster imaginable because his his popularity rating went right up over to the went into the 90s as you will remember uh when they did occupy Ukraine and got away with it uh to lose it would be but also at the same time again that is very much of a a risk in terms of escalation yeah all right I think I think we should uh we should we should uh we should get a few a few questions questions and we've got quite a few actually I'm going to start here right um because I know uh lots of people have been in touch uh who've been listening in and watching online okay this is from uh Penelope Blake yep and she says could a revolution ever happen in the UK interesting point I would have said and I think sort of you know to a certain degree tockfield was sort of made a uh made the observation uh which I think is absolutely right he said the uh the most dangerous moment for any regime uh which has been autocratic is when it starts to liberalize and that's absolutely true there's no doubt about it but as we saw in the February revolution in 1917 in Russia um a revolution will then you really work when the ruling regime has completely lost confidence in itself so for the to be a for for a revolution in this country or in any country frankly uh it would have to depend upon the complete collapse in confidence of the uh of the existing of the existing regime and system so uh uh I think it I I think stand at the moment as we can see from um the polls even though you know republicanism obviously is uh has has crept up since the uh Queen Elizabeth's death um but I think that was all predicted in a well in advance and everybody imagined that would be the case um I don't think we're gonna I don't think we're gonna I'm very supposed to see it here sure all right so sorry Penelope it ain't happening girl it ain't happening right okay we're going to take some questions from the fall now uh there is a gentleman up we'll go with a chat with the stripy shirt on there um forget a microphone to him thank you and then the lady in pink will go to you and in the front and in the front lady in yellow it's a front there okay so thank you very much um do you think there was a meaningful chance that the provisional government could have lasted and it created an actual democracy in Russia or was a doomed from the start I think it was doomed from the start one remembers the great Alexander Hudson's uh remark about the pregnant Widow and the idea that there is this moment of well not moment actually period of total uh danger for any form of reform in between the collapse of the old regime and the creation of a new regime and this was the trouble in Russia um you have the obviously the sort of the intellectuals most of the politicians even the conservatives uh were all desperate to have a constituent assembly there um what would eventually become their sort of Duma uh or a new version of the Duma um through universal suffrage but the problem is that with the destruction of the police and of the whole of the governmental mechanism of the tsara state um you have ministers in the provisional government who are called ministers there it's sitting in ministries or whatever but they have no control whatsoever over events I mean they have levers which thank frankly aren't aren't attached to anything and this was one of the problems so they lost control in the countryside the person said well are we taking over the land or aren't we you know and then they were told by even the leaders the uh left socialist revolutionaries right socialist revolutionaries who were the main political parties for the peasantry uh they're saying listen you've got to wait until the Constitutional assembly is ready and then we've got to make a decision based on that well not surprisingly they became very impatient and they didn't see why they should hang around and that was why I also it was very easy for Lenin and the Bolsheviks to sabotage the creation of the constituent assembly and then in January 1918 they were able to uh basically allow the deputies in and then they had them all chased out by uh construct Sailors uh soon after midnight so it existed for a matter of hours only thank you very much okay um the lady in pink just just there Oh no just just here there you go lovely thank you hello thank you for being here this afternoon um sort of an offshoot of Penelope's question um you mentioned in the context of the Revolution the ever the institutions that people thought they could absolutely not do without that suddenly well changed what are the modern institutions that are at risk and what can they do to Salvage themselves governmental packs perhaps monarchy perhaps even press so here in in this country you mean I would say UK but if there's anything outstanding globally as well okay okay well what they could what can they do to uh well I mean I think your essential point is absolutely right about the whole question of Institutions um I was very struck by the fact that uh David from one of the sort of political commentators in America when the queen died he pointed it out very uh clearly I think what a paradox it was that the Americans had created a constitution using the best brains that have ever been assembled in a single room uh back in 1776. um and yet they had failed to prevent basically what was going to be an elective dictatorship uh um well he said in here in Britain you know you have a chaotic totally unpredictable system where which depends on hereditary uh and yet there is no real um threat or has been no real threat of a military coup or an overthrow uh of of the system I think the point here is very much that if you have a republic and I think this is something which would be interesting to discuss today with Australians who of course want to have their own head of state but they just they know what to choose um the vital Quest thing is don't have a politician as head of state because that is what's so dangerous uh and this is in a way the unintended Brilliance or defensive nature of the British regime if you give uh the symbols uh of Pomp and panoplay of all that sort of stuff and in a way also command of the Armed Forces To The Head of the State but allow them no political power whatsoever it is much more democratic in the sense it's much less likely to create or to provide that sort of pre-revolutionary situation which you might get otherwise um as soon as you start having a politician up there who can move from being say prime minister to president uh if you take say America and Trump uh I mean that's let's let's face it is still a very scary possibility or even in France I mean the fifth um the fifth Republic's Constitution um gives far too much power to the president but that is a problem when you have the president as the commander-in-chief and also as the uh as a political leader um and this is why institutions are so important because unless you can defend things like the Supreme Court as we're seeing battles in Poland were seeing a certain um should we say pressure even in this country uh of resentment of the present government against what they think is the excessive power of judges and certainly was saying it in the United States institutions are vital if you are going to defend democracy without them then I think you're extremely vulnerable and I think when it comes to my own profession the Press um we are in a very very difficult situation now given social media and how that can undermine um uh us as an institution um because of all kinds of Nefarious and um frankly incredible actors who can bash out stuff on a keyboard yes um I'm going to go to a question here and we'll go to the lady in yellow there and then I want someone on the left on the left on the red side that's the white side that the red side the greens like we didn't want to start having a Civil War in a British Library that's not a civil war I'm gonna go with um oh I'm gonna go with Bandit Queen how can we ever hope to teach Russia about the terrible long-term effects of conflict and warfare especially the psychological effects on survivors of War on both civilians and soldiers alike well I'm a very good point I mean already we're getting reports from Russia as you know any too well um of the psychological damage I mean many of them were actually deliberately recruited particularly of uh prig Ocean's Wagner a lot um because they were psychological damaged in the first place um and they were returning home and I mean there are many towns where people are literally terrorized and afraid to go out on the streets because they know that these guys have got nothing to lose because even if they were arrested um they'd immediately be released um by you know the the former bosses so uh yes the psychological consequences of this war and of course for ukrainians as well I mean when one sees uh the results of many of the atrocities where the book joined a whole lot with others um you know no Society can survive Untouched by by that sort of Horror okay so yes hi you mentioned about the fact that you know there were so many repercussions of this kind of origin story of conflict between the left and the right and the in the revolution and going on to the Spanish Civil War and onwards do you feel like there's anything that we can actually learn or benefit from now when we have such an incredibly heightened state of conflict between kind of different positions across you know in the UK and the us but really across the world uh well when it comes to something as extreme obviously a Civil War uh that is well beyond uh well beyond what we're seeing uh the question will we see um will we see that sort of uh conflict developing particularly in the United States I mean there have been numerous articles about the way that some of the extreme right want to set up their own communities even States uh within United within the United States um I mean that actually has more Echoes more Echoes of the 1860s um than of anything recently um I think the only lessons we can learn are are the dangers uh and what we have seen it goes back slightly to what I was saying in one answer to Clive um when you get this vicious circle of rhetoric um it's almost impossible to stop and this is really what created um this terrifying split in the 20th century which basically still to a certain degree dominates our lives today I mean that split between left and right red and white communist and fascist and so forth um has slightly changed access because it's now between much more between authoritarianism and and democracy um but it still comes from the same stem all the way uh all the way through um what can you do to stop it well I mean I remember arguments with sort of uh Spanish historians who are friends uh they were saying oh but Anthony you exaggerate or whatever words don't kill well actually words do kill um I mean there we had in 1935 and 1936 uh Lago Caballero the um who later became the uh leader of the Socialist Party in the French who was talking about he he was very proud I mean suddenly being called the Spanish Lenin when he was talking about the complete annihilation of the bourgeoisie in Spain well I mean you know it's not surprising then there's a large part of the bourgeoisie then go to support Franco because they become terrorized at the same time the left is terrified because they see the horrors purpose traded by Franco and his legionnaires and Moroccan riguraris in 34 in the astorias and the appalling torture and all the rest of it was carried out afterwards so when you get this sort of the circle of fear it's very very hard to stop um and again we can learn a lesson which will teach us on really how to stop it unless you can somehow stop it earlier on I mean my solution would be banned social media but I mean I know I can imagine how popular I would be if I came out with that are you on Instagram I'm on Instagram yes but you're on Instagram I've only just joined myself seriously I do one or two silly little photographs which might amuse people but they're more than that right I want a question on the left gentleman down here let me got one more up on the right and I think that's going to be and then that's it that's ours right sure how inevitable do you think the Bolshevik rise to power was because of course during the July days which wasn't necessarily led by the Bolsheviks but was very heavily influenced and linked to the Bolsheviks they lost a lot of power then of course they gained a lot of support as well do you think it was necessarily the blundering by the provisional government that led to their rise not necessarily just the state in Russia well in a curious paradoxical way I think it helped them because it meant they were still underestimated you know the fact karinsky was unbelievably arrogant and um unimaginative because uh he kept even right up to the very very end uh he was telling the British rainbow so for goodness sake don't worry I mean you know the bolsh fix a new threat whatsoever um and this was only a few days before um only a few days before really the what I would call the October coup d'etat and there by then they'd already infiltrated the security services the communications the telephone exchanges and all the rest of it um but the July days uh yes they were a disaster but the very fact that Millennium had to go underground and that they all had to hide and new Trotsky was locked up um but that actually was not really a disadvantage I mean it was simply again re-emphasizing the uh prejudices against them by fellow socialists by the other socialist parties as well as of course by the right um thinking that they didn't actually pose a real threat so um you know one can one can certainly see it and see it in both ways and then we got one one more question yeah there we go there we go if we could get the microphone now to her thank you very much indeed lovely um how do you think that Lennon and the Communist Party were able to so effectively suppress Rebellion against grain requisitioning and the constant Sailors was it all down to military force or I think when it comes to the construction world I think that one can only say um share brutality and um total ruthlessness um and of course when it came to the other revolts of 1921 Tomball Western Siberia and all the others um we've got no idea really about the numbers who were killed and all the rest of it um when I when I was in Helsinki and I mean actually it was any justice I was leaving I heard that many of the people involved in the contract revoked their grandchildren are still living in Helsinki um they escaped over the ice some of them are barefoot running a running across the ice to get away but uh you know Trotsky and um saying that he was going to shoot him down like partridges um and then when we came to tambov and all the rest of it I mean I think they were actually using poisonous gas against some of the revolting peasants in uh and the sort of revolts during um 1921. so um you know if you have got uh and you have taken power uh at the end of a civil war like that you still have the troops in place uh and you still have the armaments um I suppose you know an expert in military power would say well you've got to use them um but my God they were used in uh as I say in a in an utterly utterly brutal way it was appalling the uh some of the accounts I mean I'm afraid by the end it was right at the end of my book but I mean I'm I bring it in but I mean there have been many have been other books really describing that particular period and it will also say deeply shocking well on that cheery note I know I'm afraid she'll bring this to an end so thank you Madi thank you thank you very much thank you [Applause] thank you very much for that that was really really intriguing and hopefully we all learned something and uh Vladimir if you're watching I hope you learned something too as well um so I think Santa's gonna be doing some book signings outside there are books outside available so feel free to have a look um for anyone who was watching online thank you for joining and hopefully we'll see you all soon thank you very much good [Applause] [Music] |

xg_k1p7l8h4 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xg_k1p7l8h4 | The ‘Soul of Our Nation’: Restitution of Khmer Antiquities | thank you all um I hope that gives you something of an introduction to uh to the team and to the work that they are doing I'll say a few more words uh first of all welcome to his Excellency the ambassador of Cambodia to the United Kingdom we are particularly honored to have you here with us today um welcome to all of the students who are here it's really incredible to see to see the interest and the excitement to our colleagues and to our friends um we I think you have a sense of it from watching from watching the video we are we are living a quite extraordinary moment in the history of Cambodia um this is of course the history of its art but also and I think inseparably from that the history of its very identity um the title of today's event the soul of the nation is meant to convey this particular convergence of histories between an art and a collective identity between individual living breathing feeling people as you can see and those objects in which they establish and sustain Collective life it's a phrase the soul of our nation it's a phrase which is itself imbued as much with the history of the Modern Nation building on and Beyond the colonial model as it is with the pre-modern and still very Dynamic Cambodian Paradigm of personal Integrity Consciousness and good health the Cambodian palang that's the word for the souls they keep people going in good times and in bad when you lose them the expression in Khmer is as they say for example when you faint so when you lose your palung you are weakened and others come to your Aid to call them back into your body the soul of the nation the phrase may sound like propaganda and it certainly is at the heart of Cambodian governmental strategies in securing the return of stolen Antiquities but it draws from deeply ingrained cultural constructs while channeling those constructs to today's experiences and today's needs is it not extraordinary that stones from the crude Rock to the worn down fragment of a sculpted baw relief to the full-bodied sculpture of Shiva that is these Stones just like people can also be experienced as embodying consciousness of an ancestor and of a God but also at the same time of all of those people who interact with them and all of the collective that they make up these processes of managing individual and communal well-being and interacting with precious objects processes which are always and I insist on that are always at work with cambodia's traditional object caretakers I count amongst those people lay people monks ritual officiants mediums nuns and Museum curators these processes have burst onto the international stage through the extraordinary work of Cambodian governmental restitution team first in the lead up to in the long lead up to and then in the wake of the 2019 indictment by U.S authorities of Douglas latchford for the trafficking of looted Cambodian Antiquities for over four decades this interdisciplinary team has combed jungles and Villages across Cambodia in search of the sites where objects were stolen in search of the fragments left behind and the people who ripped the materials from the earth off of the temples or out of the hands of their caretakers and ultimately or perhaps penultimately as we see the returns now out of Cambodia this team has calmed archival records across Australia the U.S the United Kingdom Thailand Singapore and the internet family records dealer records Museum records divorce court records you name it they have interviewed dozens of looters in their offspring they have met with dozens of curators dealers and collectors they have sought out the people who stole the materials with their bare hands and oftentimes with lethal weapons to probe the origins of the materials to probe the methods of their locating pillaging and even authenticating themselves to understand the gang organization to understand the trading networks the shifting historical context and also the rationale of every Link in the Cambodian chain they've also sought out the international players to the same ends they have tried to track the circuitous Pathways that have brought the objects to where they are today they've tried to understand the methods the gang organization also on the international side the networks and rationales of those people and institutions buying and selling Cambodia stolen art that is those producing the demand leading to the supply which is to say the pillaging of the country's very soul they have studied the economics of tax systems encouraging trafficking and have picked apart the arguments so often proffered that the International Market has effectively saved Heritage from what would have been destruction in the chaos of War this they have proven was destruction exploiting the chaos of war and perpetuating the harm done in its aftermath and in the process this interdisciplinary team has developed an extraordinarily Rich knowledge of the Ancient Art and the land and the people of Cambodia as importantly perhaps they have developed an understanding of the ways in which people have long organized their individual and their communal identities through relations to Precious objects and in so doing it strikes me that they have each honed their own identities personal and Collective it's much more than projecting an identity of oneself or one's country onto a symbolic work of art that would be the limited nationalistic gesture of claiming Antiquities to Harbor the soul of a Nation it is rather through the process of carrying out this process of carrying out very meticulous research and developing very deep care for the materials and for the people related to the materials that the members of this team have honed their work at the Vanguard of object restitution globally and they have honed their complex identity as the Cambodian restitution team at the heart of their success has been the forging of a remarkable relationship with one of cambodia's Master looters somehow and I hope to learn more about this today their work their care and I insist on that term has cultivated a transformation in this man lion as you heard him refer to was an exceedingly violent man responsible on the ground for so much of the destruction under their care he became deeply repentant he became a key witness to his own crimes and a unique source of provenancing trafficked Cambodian Antiquities that is this team enabled his transformation by working through his deep connections to the land and the objects he once ripped from it no one they say knew the lay of the land like lion no one knew the objects down to the very Taste of the stones in his mouth his identity was Inseparable from the objects he stole and the sights he stole them from but that knowledge which at one time fed and grew on pillaging they managed to turn back on itself to instead feed restitution and along the way the person of lion himself was transformed the co-leaders of the team are his Excellency Secretary of State in the ministry of culture and Fine Arts and Bradley Gordon the lawyer representing the Cambodian Ministry in this restitution work his Excellency a trained art historian and a previous director of the national museum of Cambodia has unfortunately had to delay his arrival here in London so he is unable to join to join us for our conversations today Brad Gordon comes to the work with a law

the the chair of Southeast Asian art in the department of history of Art and the School of Arts here at psoas um my co-host for the session today are doctors Heidi tan Stephen Murphy and panga ariansha you will be meeting them shortly this is a wonderful team of Southeast Asian art archeology Museum and Heritage Specialists and they will be running the discussion forum this will be followed by a short break those of us here in person will then reconvene and we warmly welcome you to reconvene after our short break for a screening of when Trinity's video essay titled letters from pandoranga this is a film which responds to an early iconic denunciation of how Colonial structures of appreciation in quotes of non-western art sounded the death Knoll of that very art and which speaks poetically and politically to relations between people stones and ancestral lands and cambodians and cambodia's neighboring Chum communities of Vietnam so let me begin Now by asking Brad Gordon to give us a window onto his work today for soas we feel very connected to psoas because several members of our team are are from the schools and um you know we know about Professor Thompson's work for many years and it's a great honor for us to be here today we're very much members of a team no one can stand alone on somebody like this this is probably the largest one of the largest art crimes in history um we're talking multiple crime sites you know Cambodia has maybe more than 4 000 temples um you know we're talking a huge number of temples that were ravaged by looting um and I think you're gonna find it incredible today to meet members who are here who can tell you about the work on the ground you know I I feel that one of the most important contributions we're making is the relationships we have with the former looters um and the discoveries we're making in Cambodia about Cambodian history as we look at specific objects and we talk to the leaders um you know I had the experience experience of going across the country 10 years ago and trying to find members of the team I had a Cambodian woman with me her name is Narin and we went um house the house in certain Villages trying to find out who was involved and in the beginning nobody really wanted to talk to us very much um it took a lot of um meeting people asking them kind of starting to build up the trust following leads we finally heard we started hearing one Nate again and again and um we went out to one Temple during pajam Ben which is uh the ceremony for honoring the ancestors of Cambodia and we went to the temple we knew we started to learn ways of finding information ways of finding out people who were in their 60s and 70s and 80s who maybe had memories of what had happened we knew that we could find them at pagodas and we went to a one Pagoda during pajama Ben and one man turned to me he was about 70 years old and he whispered the name he said you have to look for data you have to talk to data he's he's the one who knows and I was like where does he live what what you know where can he find him over there somewhere so we went and we walked down a reaction drive for some distance when has the house like nothing we went to one house I was with norin and we knocked on the door um and we had stumbled on Beethoven's house and dadok was there in in the front the front um it's called a living room it was in the front room of the house we walked in we sat on the floor uh within the Riverside okay we sat on the floor and um Narin said said to him oh my God my you know this this guy wants to buy some land I'm like what and so he starts talking about land and she said so he's very interested in Antiquities and we pulled out the latchford book he had never seen latchford's first book in adoration and Glory we put it on on the on the floor of the room and he got he just could not let go of it he grabbed it he started going into it Page by Page he kept flipping back to the front cover the front cover is the Shiva and skanda statue that you saw in the video Eddie Eddie tapped and he said he said to his wife this this one look at this one and we had no idea I I at the time we were working for the Department of Justice doing research for the Sotheby's case that was going on and we rode back to New York that night it was like October 6 2012. you know it's it's 10 years ago and I said I think we found someone who knows a lot we didn't know his role we didn't understand until later that he was the head of a gang of about 450 people and he he was talking to us but I could see that he was agitated you know we didn't know who we're dealing with and there were a lot of large pickup trucks outside he had been in in the vlogging business there were a lot of men walking around it was not a friendly atmosphere um but I kept coming back to him and I kept going even when my assignment my six months with Department of Justice ended our team continued talking to him and collecting information and we became very close friends very unusual experience for me um but what happened was our team and some um so many members that the Cambodia team get the credit for building that relationship because I speak America I've been in in Cambodia for 15 years I'm not fluent I cannot do this by myself I need cambodians with me they're the ones who know their language they know how to talk to someone like this they know how to calm him he was a very aggressive individual um but we became very very close and you know it was heartbreaking that a year ago he died of pancreatic get pancreatic cancer and he got coven and and he died um he touched us in a way that I just can't explain and and it was something we we feel he thanked us for what we're doing that's all we needed I don't know how to you know everything else doesn't really matter other than to bring back to the statute but the fact that he changed his way of thinking and he was willing to take us to Temple ziluted and we went to and we started bringing him to meet with archaeologists and he brought me to one temple in particular you'll hear from Russia in a couple minutes but he pointed to a place and he said this is where I dug this is where I found it and that was founded Shiva that's where they found the arm and the air when they died so we know that he wasn't making up things and we have heard from many other people about his leadership silence and the Terrible Things and we we know that and we we see this very much as a path of reduction for what our work is in Cambodia path of healing and we told him again again you're not going to go to jail and he said you know I don't care I just I I did something wrong I need those statues so you know I I think for the group now what you know you've heard that we are doing um extensive researchers sporting people involved there's you know I have to say I could not do this work without the minister of uh culture Finance Minister sapona has been working with me side by side throughout this and she's courageous she's Brave she's articulate and she understands this situation very clearly and she's taught me a lot about diplomacy and about how to work with International institutions and so on so this you know her she she does there's a lot of credit how to see how tuchi's on his way um has been remarkable and he had personal relationships with douglasford with Emma bunker he was he met them he he he was struck by how interested they were in Cambodian history committing sculpture I think now that he knows much of the truth because we have a huge amount of records from the Lesser family I think it's it's it's been deeply a deeply sad story that these were people that he looked up to that he respected and now he sees the truth what was going on um but I think with his quiet console behind the scenes we've been able to do so much and the one other person I just want to mention is um the son-in-law the prime minister so pretty what um is a very close personal friend and he um he he has been amazing and he has not been in the newspapers he's not you won't see his picture but behind the scenes he's helping us with funding he's helping us he shows up to Gokey to the temples he he really I think personally I went to him six years ago seven years ago I said there's a dealer out there a trafficker he's got a huge collection we should get it back we can go to litigation or we can try to negotiate the family he said Brad I trust you I believe you he brought me to the minister I was appointed officially to negotiate for three years I led the negotiation team to to negotiate with the lashford the return of the statue is amazing there's a lot more to that I'm one of many people who are involved but the fact that these statues are not coming home but the more important thing is the information on top of that that the information we got we got all the records we have invoices we have receipts we have emails to collectors all over the world we have an enormous amount of information and what you're seeing in the United States right now with a lot of the successes some of that is definitely tied to that information so I I think that it's it's been an extraordinary experience and I I really want you know the cambodians to share with you the importance of why they want these statutes back and to tell you about the methods we've come up with in terms of working with former looters and in the field because we are in an area that this hasn't been done before this this has taken it's taken a lot of people to think about how to deal with this and a lot of trial and error and trying to figure out how do we deal with these institutions that many of them don't want to discuss this or they they want us to go away please stop asking us um but I think you're gonna see you know we're lucky right now to some extent because we're part of a trend okay I think that in the next couple years you're going to see more and more uh Antiquities to a home and it's not just going to be Cambodia it's going to be India it's going to be other countries for sure and I I hope that other countries who've suffered this state can learn from what we've done and hopefully get get some value out of it and I I think the fact that we were able to work with not just one former leader but we have many informants working with us many you know they're they're more like team members than than informants but I would say that the community work we're doing in Cambodia is incredible and we have you know the prosecutors have said to me so the prosecution I'm working with they say you only have one witness I'm like we have a witness one witness we have a whole entrance we have many many people who know about what happened this this was not completely done in secret there's many people who were aware and once you get out of Cambodia there's many many people who are complicit in what happened it was not Douglas latchford alone he was not doing this just one man it took people who repaired statues auction houses people who did catalogs uh logistics companies there's a lot of people aware of the National Treasures of Cambodia that move through this country and move through opposite and I'll turn electricity yeah I think let's go on to the Q a yeah yeah to the to your questions yeah great hi everybody yeah I'm just gonna ask some questions uh to one of the team members uh come to you here she's got a very interesting background because she actually is a wildlife specialist so uh that's a wildlife and conservation and so I just maybe you could start by telling us um how did you get involved and how does that skill set of being a wildlife having that Wildlife background how does that Aid you and what and what you've done so far yes um and I also like some guys I'm all dance in series here so I am a expert fighter guys in Cambodia so my word I have given a tool around Cambodia in the Cambodia birthday Association so I will be I will be the local NGO that we have we do a continuation project in Cambodia so yes so my my work I have a lot of episodes I my historian educated in the community that the protect wildlife so it is very important for Cambodia or everywhere for perfect wildlife and a example in Cambodia we have one word that it is a symbol of Cambodia it is very rare for the global population about 3 100 individuals only so in one Community have this disease resident so in the community that I will feed them that this community the people who needs in this community they are Hunter so actually her conservation project happens or behave after the people living there so the people are accustomed to eat violence so so my team trained them to to stop time change we motivate them to understand about how to be to live on nature to love Island to people like and they we try to make the other thing to make them happy nicer we're watching tool to visit their community and also my experience I have done a lot of tour around in Cambodia I learned about the nature environments education and anyway in three years ago I come to teach on to work with the ministry and eventually Asia for the restitution for our team to collect the information from former Luther so my education while education very important that when I met the former leader they are they most of them they have Hunter but they are how to say they they have the wildlife so it is very useful for me to deal with the former leader for do the communicate with the former leader my history yeah it's really interesting that you have one skill set um that can then be applied you know quite quite effectively to this this new new form of hunting or hunting that neuters um yeah I I wonder could you tell us a bit more then about uh maybe you could talk a bit more if we get a bit more specific about the lion in general and we've heard a lot about hair these are the sculptures and if you're not familiar this is one of the major archaeological sites that literally returned from but um maybe you could tell us a bit more about about that case and his involvement with cochair and and how that that played out yes so Lions he is a Camaro Soldier so he's very clever he will begin with the medicine people on many old people so he have knowledgeable and he he is a head of Gary Luther so he worked across around Cambodia and the people worked for him about 400 people to 450 people both men and women they would as a YouTube for for him but for his activity his main activity in got a complete so he told me or he took our team to to see everywhere in country especially he showed us about the temple that he looked at so while we've been there he also shared his experience to me or to the team heating about history about oh he is the temple this name and then this Temple he had been looted during this big time and he also mentioned about this area was visited by Tiger also so during that time I also have time to learn from him about how to protect myself while I meet the tiger so he is he is also the Earth he he was the top one Hampton so he shared the experience when when I see the Tiger in front so need to stay in the uh the step of uh how to say Stanford and look at to the tiger which way the tiger will be the girl so actually the tiger around to to hit us to buy us so we need to stay in the low position and clip Stills don't move keep quiet so the tiger will run and across us he have experience and the other one about the wild Born so actually while I was in the forest leaving the two my client who would like to see everything so sometimes we saw the next of the wild balls and then just around everyone be careful the Whiteboard also Dentures with the male one it is aggressive so when this is the one more he he he shared he taught me even when I saw the one more just keep sending and then prepare my my legs if I use her we left one look like stand up like this before let me be prepared to walk to inform to lead us so how to how how Barbie uh to make a protected something attention has become they need to run to him so we just step ahead like this keep walking we just we saw the world Hit come we just moved back we take our leg our leg go bye let me return a bit over body so we can protect our body safe from barking dangers and they also share some more about the wild elephants so I am a while I die so I need to learn everything I connected to the wildlife education so how uh for he he said while he walked in the forest keep listening to the Sound Outside if like how to say the the forest sound like like the tree fall down or what happened with the assumed noise thinking about the elements so by the way the years he said how to connect uh what would like to see the elephant he have also used the horn but I never seen how how he used it he just made like a sample he used the whole like make a sound so the elephant thinking about a couple thinking about the family thinking about the toddler so it comes close so the other one is the technique how he hands the the the wild rice as a bunting balance or elephants so he needs to see this guy is how about the cloud today is the to that or Samsung so actually the wind during the afternoon come from Southwest and he needs to thinking about the way the wind comes from Southwest and we need to focus out about the part where the ponds so he just keep a bit away from the point about 400 meters today they open area so why are the worst memory to you with my mom not feeling in very close to the the pump and in very deep forest in the everyday Forest you need a bit away from the extra performance so we need to to go there for hands so I learned a lot from him and it is very useful my uh Wildlife education my right eye is the knowledge it is very useful when I met the formula I I easy to do the communicate with them they while I understand and they feel more comfortable to talk with me right yeah I think it's really interesting like building that those relationships yeah with leaders and winning over that trust but also you've given us I think a really yeah quite good indication of the environments you have to work in and actually the the challenges and maybe the dangers as well so it's really tight I think yeah it brings a whole other element to I think when we think of object restitution museums or maybe archaeological sites but actually a lot of what you're doing is is Right Out is quite remote areas um I just want to ask you one last question um we've heard we heard um from Brad about you know lion and how this process has been quite transformative for him but you at the end of the Bloomberg video um you know you've talked as well about the emotional side of the fact about we receive these statues that makes them feel so could you maybe just talk a little bit about what it means to be doing this work yes so how to say what what it means what the how well for my feeling yeah like from a personal level for my personal I can say uh Ted talk about my personal when I meet lion people before before I mean lion I know nothing I I I I can say no nothing because of the uh I never have a time to see many Statue while I've also went to visit the the temple so while I had I stepped in I go with him and he shared a lot of experience a lot of his knowledge and especially he went while he he brought us to inside it's Temple that he has been so especially one Temple that the uh in nearby Kool-Aid mountains because he called Congo Temple so it's look like a man only color my bamboo forest so it I I didn't meet him I don't know it is how it looked like before and what it is inside before so he told he made a map like mini cheaper in size and then the the bamboo was Crow on the the top he said oh he is a mansion bar I came here and I get I found the the uh the one Pig home so very important that when he found something in the temple he knows it is the magic the market it is a simple to be for the Romantic so why he got it he he divided in the small pieces and he shared to his team everyone needs to to hold that one with them everywhere all the time to protect the body and then he he when he his plan to me and said oh it is very important the temple has made that she will sign in labor or he he go he draw how he look like to set you first I said oh it is very important and I asked where are you gone he said oh it's all of those he brought to a broker at every exactly but should be a thousand three thousand or four thousand and I spent I am bread we give up with uh people with him even in the field and in the uh in the office so when we have time to go in the field well we make we discuss with him he always made a map for us I went to this Temple this this location so some temples it is seemed like nobody know so we brought uh he brought us to there to visit there seem like some places uh since our ecology is not yet explore that place so I think it is how how I uh how high feeling about if I can see all the statues come back I am so happy and I think it is very winful for my life that I for my level my generation is the most of the people no time to see the real statue in my country we expect to see the session in the Pagoda but some statue in the pergola is made by semen not the original one but because of the uh our culture we believe in the God we go to the Pagoda and we always bring something some food or some fruit or sunflower to offering our God we pray what we want like even me I before I build somewhere I always said please our ancestors bring black to me again the way it's a good way to me good thinking with doing good luck so one I know many statues when my feeling really want those things will come back home because it is good for my new generation to say to learn how okay yeah foreign [Applause] uh far away from a story or archeology or the LPA or international relations so and then uh we also hope that you work uh with the field leaders giving them to them and take their stories firstly perhaps tell us more how you get involved uh in the work with the team and uh when you can expand in details what kind of works that you are doing with the villagers so first of all I would like to thank and good afternoon everyone especially I respect to um and uh this is my great honor to be here as well so I am that I studied in international relations and like I learned a lot about them policy implementation palliative economic collection or social issues Social Development and so on so um in like in this kind of subjects I can like return them to solve any issue like being like any effectively in effective ways so I in practice I worked I've been working on the legal Advisory Board called eventbridge exam um for bread for seven years and I had a meeting with like the government official and on the regulatory work and also uh when I visited the United States for last month we had a meeting with like home and security um Department of State curators and directors I'm going to see them so um today I I love International relation like helped me a lot to understand about the world complex to find a way to go like to get out get our solar Network and security staff so then uh I involved in the project of recovery and secretly like around for five years and I met the um the former rulers and interviewed them and developed as a team to either researcher and for our work we like we divided into teammate or to take like a more about 15 members we have divided into two or three things and it's been something or two or three members and we have our own goal one is when you take care of one is the second one is the um interviewer and the other one because the interviews or Motors then um we also collected the information from virus Museum around the world and put it in a database and he also have scanned into black Labor's book and Amazon first book including other amazing glories uh my bronze and Michael and click here in a folder of those photographs and shows and hormones Case by Page and uh when we visited the site we we always went house to house and to check for religions around Apex foreign [Music] oh yeah it's very interesting to hear about the grade of divorce you've done behind the scenes maybe you could explain more a bit more a deeper uh understanding for us um how long gives me take to introduce yourself they would open up about their um so actually we need like really busy take the site or we went to see the religions of formula like many times to check whether they are okay to open this and we don't force them to tell us wants to get their true feelings natural love on our history our statues because it's not only the sculpture not on the stone but their teach statue of structure content of Soul content of separate so that's why they fear impressed and started to join us as well and once you cut the testimonies from the stories from how then you move your Works to actually improve the original statues they are probably loaded or they heard about the rooting yeah thank you Paul um we like we record the Power of each culture that we developing our very best and we read it in a very good quality to show them exactly like look clearly whether they recognize that process that sculpture and we did not leave the question to them we just show them and they said oh this one I took it I know about it so they start telling us more um yeah uh yeah so maybe you can tell us about your feelings be one of the teams but also I want to know about the feelings of the Philadelphia tips as well whether you ask them uh their attitudes toward this story whether they want them to come back to Cambodia and is there any specific business for them where this stat used to be placed um in the Statue so he hit that section that generation to see how this facing part of the body of life so we like only the set to cancel us like how those things are working and our ancestors like and example like one of the former rulers she cry and when you asked her about she said absolutely I want I want to set you that because um see surprise he said that even though at times you know that the statue contain of the spirit the secrets are accepted by three skills forced herself to dilute it because of the like the silver ball like happened during the time in the country and forced her to to do it to get money to support her family so and now she referred and she just sits like this kind of cataries of her life together but since that it is what you want to get and uh now um we also want to get the statue back uh it doesn't matter if you keep in the original Temple the first time of the temple will not destroyed and some going on so if our 10 party spiritual condition we prefer to display our return stolen statue to those to their original homes people will praise unfair and put the Jasmine flower on their neck on their hands and like whatever we want to that success and uh also the other um like in in the setup room they have many empty chambers and now are ready to get our stolen and they get it back to the store and have that Temple and also if any example were destroyed by by the wall we can display the the structure into the museum thank you okay and so to round off before we take a break I'd like to introduce my colleague [Music] um [Music] in this very interesting kind of position at the national museum of being a curator Who's involved in putting exhibitions together and long-term loans together traveling exhibitions with the Museum's collection it's a very interesting position mediating between the ground on the one hand and The Villages and the looters and all this research that's going on around very interested research project and liaising with the outside world and the museums that want to see more of this kind of material traveling so my question to you I just give you a couple of uh questions um can you just share with us a little bit more as we were talking yesterday um quite specific in terms of quite interesting about how you went out to the team meeting the leaders talking to them in detail about traveling over the landscape looking for evidence and signs of sites attention sites that uh knowledge of how did you tap into the Lotus knowledge what did they teach you about looking for evidence okay okay guys [Music] first of all that my why is not that high enough and I try my best to deliver my spirit to everybody and I would confess that I'm a little bit shaking especially in front of people in particular sitting on the room which is used to be my former class people I'm so excited um back to the question of it thank you very much for the question is how how I engage with the looters from the confused and to share with the Luther how we learn from each other but um I would begin with um or Scholars right most I have learned it from mapping books reading or edit articles and have apparently I'm involved with the Practical practices with the looter to see the side from the jungle to the house of the Lutheran to get involved to to to to to to build trust build relationship with the looters and in contrast the knowledge of the looters is different from me what I have learned they never experience at school at all what I have learned from the experience the side that they they they they they they used to know from the um villagers or from the parents from the other friend so far is different from us of course we do have data from Mr culture for that we bring together with the um with the maps that all of the um that all has been done I would say the University from a French dollar and then later on Bruno David at the Cambodian Scholars and they do have a existed in the list but the local people that if they don't didn't call it temporary because something else what what is that and they will start to share and this one is supposed to be this Tempo this is right no this one as um my team country has mentioned that is very different his argument like no this Temple okay okay and then uh I start to compare start to bring all the information that he has transferred to our team to compare with the landscape of the temple if it is accurate or not example like I discovered this this capture this capture in this uh uh Temple and this capture the style is from this Century on what had but what have he learned he told us oh this style from the statue this Century against the century and I wrote take this through versus with the landscape of our project but this Temple is exactly from that that period or not does it fit with what he has done or not this money and to consider further I hope this I couldn't answer your question thank you were there any surprising thing or their way of thinking about how to identify the temple you know their local knowledge their names they gave to the temples because it's surprising to you that it could be quite different from Temple a or whatever the French archaeologist said had identified them as yeah um but they have some some places would be surprisingly and and it seemed like but no very well although he like and although he never experienced the school but he's saying like know very well about it how to read them same site example like you see that man there's someone yeah do you see something on the earth yeah and and those what I have learned from the surface uh survey study in my class but as like we try to get information from him right uh try to pretend that if you don't know anything and let him explain to me oh do you see that this is a break the structure of the remain architecture remain at the temple on the mound and it's like this is a temporary that what we recognize the model is the temple and we would begin our um digging around that temple in particular in the top which that he considered as a main chamber of the temple where the statues supposed to place the things like that [Music] okay and um can you say a bit more about how you're documenting some of this work and how you are integrating this this kind of data that we collect from polluters into your your work collecting creating a database in effect uh okay I'm sorry um my colleague he has she has introduced them about that and and I can repeat it again try to repeat again it's like um the Gathering of document and they have team to work on that Gathering of all put it in that office and we currently on the process of doing that and with uh we would welcome to especially the officer sister and Scholar to get access to study about those objects and until now we do have 105 Museum in our database and we do have information of each object of the camera that we do have on that and yeah that will be working on that and there will be a process later in the future it's a long complicated non-complicated basis yeah and I mean there is this ongoing you know debate about whether the museums how far museums can uh extend their reach if you like to incorporate such diverse kinds of work and data on these internet in the right place or so what we call intangible Heritage cultural heritage data like the knowledge of people on the ground they have developed themselves um they have um also memorized and kept within their own Traditions right because they don't have recent documentation they can draw you make drawings but they don't keep written accounts or drawings right they just know it they remember lion had an incredible memory he wants the living database for the sites right um and an understanding of how risky it is to be expert sites as well about the fact that many of these places in the jungle are still mined right so it's incredibly risky going out there and doing this work I just wonder how you're going to manage it now without Ryan you don't have to answer that right now we can talk about that over dinner um okay and I'm really happy that the incoming Masters cohort for Asia I'm going to display you're all here today and so it's great that you hopefully experienced firsthand what's happening in the field so for the first few questions I want to prioritize our students first and and then we can move on to whether other guests and if there's people online as well so this is your chance you've got one curator here is working in the National Museum and you've got two address for three other experts so this is your chance I know it's the first seminar first literally personally to turn but we've heard a lot of interesting ideas about and the importance of these statues and actually towards the end of the discussion how how they should respect and where they should be sustained so if any of you got questions that you've thought of that you'd like to ask yeah right but this thing that I wanted to know from all of you that um how long did it take and how do you guys find a way to inspire those in the government to support this because this is such a large scale uh exercise so any insights on that so yeah they're look this this process of trying to deal with the epic looting that took place in the in the 80s and 90s started even before I got involved 10 years ago so there was already a number of people working with the Cambodian government with UNESCO was working with the Cambodian government um the U.S uh attorney's office in New York um and I think it's the very beginning there was if you talk to cambodians privately you will hear from every single one of them how strong you would feel about this no question but I think to get cambodians to stand up and talk in public like this this is a huge this is a new development of a new case that you can hear clearly the Cambodian course but I think what has happened I think because the minister got more and more confidence and how to teach that more and more confidence and they saw because we saw statues coming back I think and with the support of you know we actually have I would say support across all political lines okay so we we have support this is not something that has been sort of supported just by part of the Cambodian Society so we have um we have the government supporting us we have the role of families supporting us we have opposition supporting us all across the board for cambodians they are and we have their Rouge former rich people giving us information and openness so I think this issue um it hasn't taken some time for the cambodians to speak loudly and publicly but privately these feelings have been there for a long time and so I don't think I think um getting some of those key people across the board you know sometimes we had to you know I had to call different people to to let certain things certain support but I I you know I'm not the only one there's a whole group of people working on this and I think the Cambodian government now sees the successes and they're and they're now you know across the board very supportive yeah I'm talking about successes I want to know how many uh I mean artifacts will return that's why the success rate second I hear that you know well some of the works are given back and then restore to the original Tempo but for those that are not restored to the original Temple how do you intend to display that 'd be great so we haven't um the ministry does have statistics on the exact number that have come back I would say for our team we're talking several hundred statues now um so it's not one and there's a lot more to come that's not been publicly announced so I think in the next six months next year you're gonna continue to see headlines about what's coming back um and I you know overall you know I think it's over a thousand statues or something maybe you know if you add the national museum keeps statistics it's it's probably over a thousand have been returned in various different ways but in terms of our work just gathering this this evidence and and testimony you know so much is has come back in terms of what's going to happen um the the initiative that we're working on now so we are thinking a lot about where this tattoo should come back and where they should be placed when they come back and and there's a lot of sentiment among the cambodians put them back in the temples they should be exactly now as as Lita said many temples have been destroyed there's structural issues there's many many issues about that so we're talking about what would new a new Museum space looks like and what should that you know it should be Cambodia it shouldn't necessarily follow uh what's here in the UK or what's in the U.S but what we recognize is that there's a great moment now for collaboration so we've talked to um a number of national museums uh to come together so museums like the Smithsonian um and a couple other museums we're discussions with who are very happy to work with the cambodians together and bring their expertise and let's create something incredible in Cambodia that would honor this honor the statues and at the same time bring tourists help it's a ripple effect it can create so many positive things for the country and then the other thing we're talking a lot about is an epic for many epic traveling exhibitions so that in the future all the information we're discovering can be shared with the world and and the world will have more is more information more understanding about Cambodia system so I think that that's a very exciting phase that we're starting to enter into and we can't do it alone we just need help we this this is going to take a lot of brainstorming a lot of thinking and of course it eventually will take funds and so on but I I think it's a 10 to 15 year plan it's not something you do tomorrow it's something that we have to put I realized as we were starting to talk a lot about potential mitigation and going into negotiations and stuff then we we can't have everyone as our enemies that's not going to work so we need to build a number of friends of Cambodia to work alongside Cambodia to think about okay I mean the cambodians will take care of these objects don't worry they're going to be taken care of but in terms of creating facilities with incredibly good conservation techniques and so on Cambodia wants that how do we do that how do we get there 10 years from now 15 now okay [Music] from my idea uh Cambodia is a bit of cultural like we can see on call one and we have another like the water cap size into that 1992 and we have another around four or five thousand tampons across the country so this kind of cultural wealth of Cambodia right now so it doesn't matter if like the stolen can take care is like return back so I like my my message to all the museum like um Cambodia all all of the return statues so whenever we have all those other my statue back if you plan to display in like a well condition and build up more museums to attract them and to see three of my career culture your second question our strategy has new Museum to display that we have resources to taking care of our own cultural heritage we do have policy because I want to withdraw is what I'm doing right now it's traveling International traveling exhibition it should be a good idea that both that is the good case that we have been taught with that from the DNA museum is coming it's come to my brain it's like the the the the the temporary exhibition of the seop objects and the dialysis is a good case and I hope that in the future that maybe there will be a possibility of travel exhibition of the returning object [Music] s great thank you and yeah so it seems like because a lot of stakeholders um from the losers and the organized climate works and stuff as a curator when you displaying or when you are thinking about this thing these objects do you find places or spaces for people like science to be represented in those or like is there relevance to speak about from very many people who are involved probably by coercence foreign [Music] but in another case we also um the concern of securing their security as well and there will be another cases and we we're still working on that animal s yeah I would say that um but I I have to choose Secretary of State he gave a talk a couple weeks ago when I first went to him about lion he was a bit reluctant you know he's a Khmer root victim he's a I mean his family we're victim to the camera version and I said to him we're working with a commemorative Child Soldier and his his game are you okay with that and he didn't you know he he was like ah if we have to um but he probably supported it and he gave a speech a couple weeks ago and he talked about Lion's knowledge he acknowledged publicly that because of lying we knew exactly where the shebons got attempt from so I I think that there's definitely room in any any exhibitions we do in the future to tell and and lions only one committee right there's many stories to be told here and I think but Roxane touched in a really good input endpoint which is this is a live investigation but we're not we can't just celebrate and say it's all over this is ongoing and we are we use code names um we ask each and each person each former lunar what if they're comfortable with the name that we're going to use as a code name you know if we give their full names there is some concern that in Cambodia um some of these individuals could face violence they could face arrest they could face all kinds of things so you know I I personally have done a lot of support from the Minister of Justice of Cambodia I think he's very happy about what we're doing and the minister of culture and and many people in the cabinet recognize that there's a lot of good coming out of this information sharing that's going on so hopefully we can give them to you know give them some acknowledgment and I would have I would say there's one woman that the team worked with we call her iron Princess um she's so brave and she said to us use my name I don't care BBC came and they filmed her and they wanted to film her in the dark and all this kind of stuff and keep right then she's like I don't care okay I I so I think in the future their stories need to be told in exhibitions so that when people visit they understand the complexity of the history of the object yeah that's I think it's a really great question for my class I would keep that in mind throughout what we do over the next 10 weeks and we look at because this is really getting to the heart of things all right we have one more question and then we'll go um you mentioned the video that some museums are very open I'm wondering the ones that aren't do they give you a reason do they claim legality and they're just so warning you what is your kind of action for those or is there any kind of legal consequences for them to just he said that they said there's there's one Museum in New York City very famous [Music] and we keep saying to them we you know look I'm I'm uh I'm a lawyer but I recognize that in this sort of campaign that we're doing um maybe the laws that are on the books are not are not sufficient to really protect a country like this that went through war and genocide and lost so much and I think on the Nazi looting Nazi art there's a lot of thinking about this I think for Cambodia in the future something similar because the museums are saying some museums are saying great you know we went to see Victorian Albert they were they were phenomenal they opened up their provenance documents to us they showed us the whole collection they were extremely welcoming um other museums are saying to us no you show us evidence um and uh that that Museum in New York keeps saying to me um you haven't shown us the evidence of each of these statues and we keep saying to them no you show us your profits you prove it to us we know you don't have an export permit for all those statues show us your export permit and they're refusing to do that and we're saying the burden's on you and my lawyer colleagues are saying to me I'm right you better go check but we are making taking the position that from a moral point of view these museums for many countries but especially Cambodia I think when we think about the context and the history they need to be helping us they need to be sharing the information we can't guess one particular Museum here in your country keep saying to me well what do you want to see now I don't know what's in their collection how do we know what they have we say if anything's Cambodian show it to us no you have to identify what you want to see so this is the kind of thing that we're up against and how are we dealing with it many ways but media is one um John Oliver is another there's there's many ways and we need we need in the future public opinion to switch to shift to the point where public opinion is that's shameful you should not Museum you know I've met many Museum professionals we can have very beautiful conversations very constructive very very positive and I think many Museum professionals don't want to be associated with this sort of needed so it's you know I think these you know the public has to say to these institutions no that's not a proper way of acting the cambodians came all the way to the UK they came they came here they want to see their Cambodian collections do whatever you can to help DNA perfect beautiful with the way they treated us so another Museum not so far from here [Laughter] of the uh maybe we'll look at this is an interesting one so we've been talking about objects looted in this trade you know post 1970s or yeah say 1970s up to 1990s but of course there's large Colonial Collections and there's actually Colonial collections in France for example with the Cambodian material so yeah the question here and I think it is probably the appropriate one is are you looking at that material too it's you know is there movement in terms of that because yeah if we look at defending bronzes that a lot of them are going back now so from Germany and and a lot of the UK museums you know they're Colonial collections and so there's movement there but have you started to look at that or is that just in the whole other bowl game right now yeah so um we have we have had some informal discussions we know that you know there are 300 statues in a museum in Paris and they were taken out in 1874. yeah 1878 and the 1920s and so on and I went and met the chief curator and had a very uh very positive conversation and and I think you know um for the cambodians uh that collection extremely important it is some of the most um significant statues um we are treating that as a separate um I would say we're looking at it at the same time right now but we're treating it as a almost you know a separate body of work that we have to do um but I I would say we're not ignoring what's in Paris and so we've gone and we've had some preliminary discussions you know I I think that there's a very good relationship between France and Cambodia in many ways on the cultural side and I think that there's there's lots of promise for some extraordinary collaborations and and returns in the future so I I think it's also it's you know you know we are watching what's going on with the um with the Netherlands with Germany and we're good so obviously as students who are at soas we are very interested in a certain part of the world and um presenting museums with a very um with with exhibitions that really speak to the sort of genuine and like I think authentic um cultures that are represented things like that um I was just wondering you know for us as people going into this what would we need to sort of prepare for I guess like if we wanted to get involved and stuff like what would you suggest you sort of think about as we I guess complete this master's program but also like go into the professional world as well in terms of repatriation not just with you guys but just like in general too um yeah someone who's very curious look I think you're you're at an excellent institution in terms of you know the the professors I know and the location and the knowledge here are just tremendous you know I I think it's just good to to be sensitive to to each society and culture around the world but you know what what is authentic what's not and to really understand how a complete everything is at the moment and there's so much more work that needs to be done and I think that the community right now is actually very small who is involved so I would encourage you to reach out to other professionals working in this area and and I wouldn't it's cross-disciplinary as you see we have Wildlife experts and we have international relations we have archaeologists we art historians you know I think what I've learned from this is that we can't do it alone and we need many different skills and we need ambassadors we need Ministries the government officials we need private sector there's a lot of people but when you look at Who's involved right now the leaders in the field you know this it's a fairly small group but I think all of them are very passionate and they would be willing to give you some advice and and I think it depends what angle you're coming at but you know for us we go to museums and we have allies no question there are many surveys Japanese you know but it's going to be if you're going into the museum environment it's you know you're not going to be alone there's there's definitely people who are very interesting right we'll draw it to a book you want us yeah is that a thing yeah is this the end of the Q a and I know for my students to our slots so if you have to leave that's fine but the reasons are there part to this yeah that's great I just wanted to um first of all to well to respond quickly to that question I I am I was in Miami classic my first my first Sunday class this morning it was a student um there were a bunch of students from Martin archeology students from social anthropology a student a couple of students from um from from the curating Ma and it seems to me that that kind of interdisciplinary work and really understanding the intersections between our history between between the museum or the legal profession right and putting at the heart of that ethics right thinking that you're an art history you're in you're in museum studies you think ethical you're in Social Anthology I think that's something that parents so ask we can really really push and really sort of push ourselves individually but also as you know as teachers and as a collective and that seems to me to be what something that I really get out of this team's work but that's that's front and center for them and they're moving with their different disciplines but all with the kind of shared ethical understanding of where we are in the world today so I don't know that that seems something that's really wonderful um that you all are sort of showing us and we really appreciate it um I just wanted to say that um before we we thank them um we will be we have a 15-minute break and we're coming back together to to screen a film um and I hope that you all can can join us for that I want to thank our online attendees as well because they won't be um able to be a part of that um so yes thank you to my to my colleagues at soas um for joining in and really working with the team to think about how we might present the materials today and a deep deep thank you to all of you for for sharing with us and uh and his Excellency the Ambassador would like to have a word of of um to to close the session as well thank you well first of all I would like to thanks uh Ashley Thompson's and Omi speaker here I'm waiting to listen what happened and what's been said by him that we would like to follow people to receive I have one word to say and also like to appeal and what being said by Prince here you know she's crying when we talk about the soul of the Year status and I have one a word that I have experienced when I was um Indonesia and I usually work to negotiate to bring outside back to Cambodia I might be it much better computer I said we cure the Willy you know how a civil war so we have not ruled it so to return the study back to Cambodian it's a kind of you know very amazing uh Not For Tourists like a kind of thing that can cure you know the people doing it because they lost their you know status they lost their spirit so we would like to explain our multitude back to Cambodia so I think through this uh for um once again we're trying to express my addiction to Thompson as well click the whole sponsor I give you Indonesia Indonesia you have us you know between government do our best between authority and authority to do our best but we need you know it's important people like we do not want to touch any illegal thing that more or less like to bring our soul back to Cambodia it can be cruel uh continue not to cry again thank you foreign [Music] yeah we've had amazing memories of we remember everything about this video about the location and from decide if you have been asked them about the location it's very important as many defense also we want to know which time for exactly that they took out like why are they mostly paid your own type of buffet and mostly like 79 people and see my Instagram and after the location we did ask them about how did you move and how did we transport that and how how methods that did you remove the or to find the Statue like sometimes they use most most of the formal organizations imagine characters to find the Statue but like an anonymous so and then we also asked them like don't be questions or like how did the session go how many people involved so it is a question that our team came up in to get all information and like to prepare like a report or something excuse me [Laughter] yes for my cupcake my cupcake is to hit my hands so why I will be lion I pay my attention to my house too much the coffee are crazy take my little people here anyway I try on my bike my attention because I really I can say I can't wait to get all information from him and I also have one person that I know he is at the end of his life have I stay with him I think he's here I checked everything as him what or when as possible I can get all information from him so while we talk about the the session talk about lion make me hit my hands but anyway about the or the statue what I know information from him I believe what those get back home because of it is those that you very important for my country for Cambodian people and those sent you most of them get out during the war and I know I got information from some Library during the war during my people got killed very very bad situation and the new generation actor did nothing now the people right now they don't know how is that you look like like pick up pick up and stand up they don't know it be done to this project Cameron people know trying to see if the pickup in summer so it is very important and it is his Cambodian hands when we talk about cameras that you that because Cambodian statues symbol of our assistant we offer us overcome yes foreign | SOAS

vu2M7lNhQvg | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vu2M7lNhQvg | 170927 Recollection of the Buddha \ \ Thanissaro Bhikkhu \ \ Dhamma Talk | in the buddha's description of the factors of the path the factors that are associated with concentration of three right effort right mindfulness and right concentration and they interpenetrate right effort becomes ardency when you practice mindfulness and the establishments of mindfulness of the topics of concentration and it's in the fourth jhana the mindfulness becomes purer so they're very closely connected and when you're doing concentration it's important that you work on all three now one of the important elements of right effort is your motivation in Pali this is called Chandan Jannetty generating desire and sometimes when you sit down to meditate the desire is there it's no problem and get right to the breath as it john lee says the breath is our home base in meditation but there other meditation themes that are they said places where the line goes foraging and these are mainly for motivation there times when it you don't want to settle them with the path you don't feel up to it you get discouraged or you're lazy or other moods invaded your mind and it's the times like that when you need other meditation themes to help you convince yourself that yes you do want to be with the breath there's a set of four meditations you call the Guardian meditations and the first one is recollection of the Buddha this is a theme that's good for times when you're feeling discouraged or your conviction is weak you ramp up your conviction by contemplating what kind of person the Buddha was and the fact that we live in a world where someone has found true happiness through his own efforts that it was willing to teach that those lessons he learned from that why did what he had done did everyone who was willing to listen he fought them for free we walked all over India where was someone needed to learn the lesson he went there and as he said the qualities that made him able to find that to happiness are qualities that we all have in potential form some of that we need to develop them and develop and them is something we can do on our own those facts have lots of implications for all of us both in terms of the sense of the world in which we live in our sense of ourselves in size ourselves of course is that we have it within us to find true happiness so when you think about that you wonder about the other things you might be pursuing the other pleasures you might be pursuing and what are they in comparison to the the happiness of the deathless something that doesn't change some of their acquired or ignoble and pursuing it of course in the sense of the world given the range of the different kinds of happiness we can go for why don't we go for the best because the best is possible those are the main features of what it means to think about the Buddha but you can also go into more details to read up on his life see the inspiring example he said and you realize that this Dharma that we're practicing comes from a really good person Gary was a prince destined to rule with all kinds of wealth all kinds of pleasures they gave it all away abandoned it you gonna get rich and famous people nowadays how many people would do what the Buddha did I can't think of anybody people are too easily intoxicated by the wealth where the good looks by the possibility of power and here was someone who saw through all of that his life is marked by three main qualities those his wisdom his compassion and his purity and so I the way he found happiness involves those three qualities and those are the qualities that he then used in his in his teaching you think about how many different kinds of happiness in the world wouldn't involve those three qualities that something that would be have to be wise you have to be compassionate and you would have to be pure to find them they're not that many all too often the kinds of happiness we search for in the world involve things are not wise not compassionate and not pure so you can think about the Buddha as an inspiring example to remind yourself this is a good path it's founded by a good person and it makes us good people in the pursuit of it because what is that wisdom begins with a question what when I do it will leave the long-term girlfriend happiness the wisdom lying and one realizing that true happiness has to come from your actions you can't just wait for it to come floating by and then to long-term is better than short-term it's a simple principle but it has lots of implications one in terms of the compassion if your happiness depends on the suffering of other people they're not going to stand for it it's not going to last if you want a lasting happiness you have to think about the well-being of others that's compassion then you really have to carry through you look at your actions again and again and again to make sure they don't harm yourself don't harm others before you do the action you ask us up what do you anticipate will be the result if you anticipate any harm yukl don't do it while you're doing it you check to see if any harm is coming up immediately it's not all actions wait until the next lifetime in order to give the results something spit into the wind it comes right back at you you stick your finger in a fire it burns right away so if you see that you're doing something that's having bad consequences stop don't see any bad consequences go ahead keep with it and finally when it's done you look at the long-term results if you realize that you did in spite of your anticipation caused harm you talk it over with someone who's more advanced on the path and you resolved not to repeat the mistake if you don't see any harm you can take joy in the fact that you're progressing on the path that the Buddha said is how you find purity so the Buddha was a person of wisdom compassion and purity both in the way he'd looked for the happiness and then as a result of the happiness he found that's what he compelled him to teach marked as teachings and those were the qualities he teaches to us it's when your conviction of the Panthers beginning to fly against good to stop a thing about him and the darlin that he taught consistent the example that he sets for us we live in a world where someone has done this it's possible there were people who can do that if you find an example on the board a little too far out of reach in other words you don't feel that you're up to this you can also reflect on the Sangha their stories in the Canon about monks and nuns who were desperate had lots of difficulties in the practice as one month was going to commit suicide people had all kinds of difficulties in the practice but they were all able to overcome them you can think about that if the Buddha seems to be superhuman some of these monks a nun seemed all too human and yet they were all able to gain awakening reflect on the fact that you're not nearly as bad off as they are if they can do it so can you that kind of reflection helps you overcome doubt about yourself so if you find that one of the problems in your practice is doubt either about the practice or about yourself reflect on the Buddha reflect on the Sangha reflect on the Dharma then you find that you can actually get the mind to settle down as what I said these reflections can actually lead to the first jhana which is the first level of right concentration especially after you've been thinking discursively about the Buddha you can boil everything down it is one word butoh means awake just repeat that to yourself but QWOP that's the quality you want to develop in the mind and you think of every cell in your body saying Bhutan Bhutto if your distractions are really insistent you can pump it in rapid-fire like a machine gun really fast boot Oberto Bhutto there are lots of ways you can vary this practice they find the mine settles down by thinking about these things look and then you can finally put thoughts aside and get back to the breath with a much greater sense of energy a much greater sense of confidence and conviction having generated a desire to do what the Buddha did after all he came to wakening while focusing on his breath and that's the technique he taught more than any other but even if you do find it easy to settle down with the path that's good to stop and reflect every now and then just on the Buddha the Dhamma the psyche as a way of maintaining your energy keeping her pure practice up not only when you're doing formal meditation but I should go through the day we live in the world brother was a Buddha there's a store in the Canon about under none depending on who eventually became one of the Buddha's main lay disciples he's visiting a friend and the friend is engaged in getting ready for a meal that he's going to present to the board in the song of the next day I never but comes and asked him what's going on you have a wedding what's the big were all the big preparations and the front says presenting a meal to the Buddha tomorrow morning enemy was on hearing the word Buddha it's like lightning bolts trucks and then Abednego this is very rare to find that in the world someone who's really a Buddha someone who's really awake and for those of us we've heard his name many times it's good to stop and think how amazing it is we live in a world well someone has found awakening through his efforts and teaches that path to everybody for free so why not take advantage of the path that he taught | Dhamma Talks by Thanissaro Bhikkhu | UC6FSq_ptJ-I6aTHT-XA_e0Q | 2017-10-02 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 1,770 | 9,417 |

2WyEqiMILyY | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WyEqiMILyY | Raffles, Archaeology, and the British in Indonesia - Part 4 of 4 | they have these 15th century vietnamese wall decorations so it is a 15th century structure for that to bond he mentions cuba um there's another tomb of one of the the nine saints there's wally and he visited this tomb he also mentions a car door and i think he mixed up that one with this one in potting which is nearby and which is probably a major quiet period door you should go to pati to see it however it's still in the village now he mentions all the way to bolingo almost eastern indonesia covered almost the whole area um this is what that particular site looks like today pretty well preserved and this is one of the smaller temples there at tanzania again it's lost a little bit of the roof more or less like grapples depicted within callahan up there and again there are more temples he saw than exist today there are these drawings of other sites just called unidentified temples we have no idea where they were some of them are not specifically labeled as so where they came from they don't exist anymore they just give an idea of the range of archaeological sites which raffles was visiting at that time now of course in 1816 raffles leaves java not to take over he goes back to london publishes his book against his knighthood and then wants to come back to the indies and he's of course this is well people think of say the dutch east indies is covering all indonesia in 1800 he was very small outside of most of the north coast of java it did not include the sultanates of atari it only included padang not the rest of sumatra only included makassar and the southern tip of sulawesi just a few outposts in the lucas of course and then there was a portuguese where the rest of indonesia was still independent at this time that was basically what raffles was in charge of was just these little outposts here and there and then of course we have the coolant down here bridge and so that was the only foothold the british had other than of course penang up here and um so we were in malacca also they've given it back to the dutch so bakulan is where raffles went back to to try to expand the british foothold in southeast asia and uh this is the cooler this is the sugarloaf mountain that's what the british call that mountain there and that's where the first british fort was over here built in 1685 and as you can see it's basically just a long strip that's all um 500 kilometers long it's not small actually it's a 500 kilometer long strip of land along the west coast there's a little narrow wedge of flat land and then a lot of mountains and basically the british got there when the ducks were kicking a lot of bonte because it was a big source of pepper and this is how it looked in 1980 so you can imagine that having changed about spring raffles time the main method of transport was still things like box carts rafts on the rivers um bamboo is still the container of everyday use for things like water um shifting cultivation in the highlands that was um if no one could imagine easily what was like in raffle's time it was remote because during the southwest monsoon no ships could be in or out of there it was just the open indian ocean huge waves come in now there are no good harbors along the coast mostly rocky shingling gravelly beaches this is how they would land they were bringing in things like agricultural supplies just my boat just have to land through the surf to get them on the shore except right around uh one place there's a very beautiful long beach of about uh five kilometer long pure white sand and that's where fort lauderdale was and that's where raffles was sent back to in 1918 to 1817 and he was set off and was on the way there of course also in england he had remarried he married sophia so he was uh planning that he had his first child he never had any children with olivia first child charlotte was born on the way to coolant on the boat just like raffles he was born on a boat and so she was one month old and this is the one cooling that's where raffles lived in this house and there was a basically other than that were a couple houses and there was a big fort and the raffles was extremely depressed when he got here he says the house was basically uh then just destroyed by a series of earthquakes it was only he only had whole cats living in it he said and he said that one could not imagine anywhere anymore and then the coolant um so that's the way the board looked um now that big tower is not there anymore so that sometimes that disappeared but it was quite a sizable fortification that was built in 1715. and that's the way it looks today the british council that put some money into fixing it up it was uh under for when i was there it was actually the police department was there but now it's been given to the museum the local museum to maintain it and uh together it's still in relatively good condition has a pretty good it was a rather strong fort this is a kind of a plan for setting up some kind they gave me some kind of a park around it so it's right next to the seashore and it's one of these very elaborate ones are four bastions that had an hour look here and they go into it through a drawbridge over the weld and so on and there's some old british braves in there little tombstones and so forth still in place that's when the police were still in charge there and that was the the first president of this coast there was uh the first governor of the site and there was still other british period structures this old warehouse here right in front of the fort and there's uh um so this probably they put the pepper which the company at least in the company was buying when they shipped it out and there's another old house with a kind of similar architecture which was just abandoned when i was living there and there was a monument to a captain hamilton who was at one time in charge of the troops a few of the british monuments are still there and so may 1818 just a few months after arriving ralph was set off down to the south southern end of his uh remains about 250 kilometers away a place called mana with joseph arnold and that's where he found the ecclesia the famous flower which is known known as the freezium or molding after these two guys is giant flower it's more of a meter across it's a parasitic flower and this is the mama area and you imagine having to travel down there 200 years ago crossing the rivers there is a little british period structure still there which they say was the treasury right well event so they set up a there was a round residency there during the british period um and then okay this is a dutch period picture of one of the residents near the culture lure and the local chiefs one it was quite important actually for several reasons now this was the culture of ghana in the area in the early 20th century it was not way it was quite a different much more tribal calling the culture at that time malays basically lived around the port and that was it the rest of the province was all various other kinds of groups who called themselves and so on and as you can see they're um their guard their features are quite different from what you normally think of sumatra this is a bridal costume and this is in and this is up in the this is in padanguchi that's in the mana area you can see there's a lot of gold in that area as well so it's a quite unique area to visit and the raffles didn't know but actually there are two thousand year old remains in that same area bronze drums also there were gold stone artifacts there's a kind of a probably a buddha pod of rudolph footprint now in the local museum and there was quite a strong chinese influence at some point the bridal beds are kind of like from um you know it's very importantly directed textiles and so on this is all in the pool of the museum and now raffles went all the way up into pasama that's what it was imported for mona was the gateway into the hapa highlights the south sumatra which was the center of a 2500 year old civilization way up in the mountains there are still these prehistoric megalithic type statues up there there even remains of paintings on the interiors and some of these tombs like these slab graves pictures of warriors carrying gloves on drums riding on elephants long dimples in the background very messy area so raffles went all the way up here to the highlands he was exploring all that he could in the sumatra region not too much later he went up north all the way to near kabob again way up into the highlands of the central sponsor that crossed over the lake sincarra saw subarusso very important areas in malay mythology too because that's supposedly where one of the three kings who appeared on buddhism utah went up here you know in the story of the founding of singapore there's a story how there were three kings who appeared on buddhism the eldest one went here became the king of yakuba the middle one went to the town um and the youngest one ended up coming to singapore so this is seen by the malays at this time is still the most historical lake kingdom that's one reason raffles was interested he saw the typical neon historical houses he would have seen the transportation of things this is a period where most transport in this area is still on the back so raffles and olivia sorry sophia so feeling all the way up in the mountains with him so she explored a lot of these areas with him at this time this is the area this is nick um this is the passama highlands very fertile grapefruit was very impressed by this these parts of sumatra too also 1818 raffles goes back to calcutta to discuss setting up the settlement which is a better location than cool and uh 1818 you send her back to penang january serving 18 my team should be seen as work uh so that's when raffles doesn't follow in singapore raffles finds that there's an authority here and makes a treaty with the singaporeans then march his first son is born leopold back sophia is back in vancouver all this time where her husband's running around and april he signs this treaty with the sultan of acharya may he visits singapore for the second time on the way back to hokkula where he finds the nepetis ecclesiana so he found this in singapore and he named it of course uh partly after himself and that's when these maps then got drawn sometime on this time that's some these plans were made for laying out see the area on the paddle we're laying out the battery down here that's when the zereng's house was still right there now with the snap we know exactly where it was finally we know how big it was too was huge and he had also set up an idea for building a ford up here already on before this time of course he never got killed stanford guardian rappers and the next year again the fourth child second water ella was born by this time raffles are living 12 miles 18 kilometers out of the countryside way away from the fort he set up his own plantation basically and this is a painting of his house in a place called hill of the dove rafaela the bedroom alone was 32 by 22 feet it was a nice big bungalow and a veranda ran all the way around the house and you grew coffee nut bags and cloves had 200 cal and rice fields salah so i've been looking for the side of this house ever since basically and i found more or less where it is now right near it there's a fort so we also had a kind of outport built nearby and there's still remains of the old mold and ramparts going around it several cannon still lying there in the in the jungle and then now nearby there are even some old portuguese cattle well i don't think the portuguese are right here but the cool people were in contact with bantam uh it was important not hard for pepper export but it was not visited by foreigners very much so i think that when i went here um there were a lot of remains of potsherds lying on of course nothing left to the bungalow but there was a pool nearby and there was a local legend that's of the the mem the memphis who used to date in the pool in other words there had been a white woman who used to bathe in this particular pot it was probably sophia they didn't know her name they said there's a mensie who used to lulu mandy de koamini that's what they said so their memory of that they still had this memory of them having been there but it wasn't specifically attached to raffles okay then okay raffles has another kind of good period but then his children start dying leopold dies in june in july the commander raffle ship dies after climbing the sugar old contest um 1822 january stafford and turner died he's left with only one child on four and he sends her back to england right away and then another child is born at this country house prophet muhammad and she lived only about two months and then she died so four out of five of bradford's children alive in a very short time into the pooling and so this rainbow line that raffles goes back to singapore for the third and last time um okay so he um went to there and if he uh then very recently returns to hulu in june arriving back in july and in 1924 he wants to retire he just had enough of life basically he has no more strength he wants to go home and of course on the way up the ship sinks with all his stuff on board all his collections that he picked up in these four or five years and some of the like peninsula singapore sumatra down to the bottom of the ocean the ship burned it didn't just sink it burned so unlucky there's anything left over so he had to wait for another few months to get a ship to go back again and um so he gets back to london 1826 in april he becomes president of the zoological society and then about three months later he dies this is guru mogul and this is a turbine upgrade unfortunately i didn't die that's the view from the top of the sugar hole very beautiful site and this is one of raffle's letters which actually reports that last six months i've been so completely unheard that i have scarcely written to any of my friends at home we've hardly hardly recovered the life of sophie's carried off after a few days illness talks this is a contemporary kind of cartoon or graphical spain going down and then take life cults back to the land now the end of the history of java had an advertisement for another book antiquities installment but apparently he planned to write something more on the archaeology and he was also going to do a second edition of the history um so it's really unfortunate that raffles died before he could complete a lot of his um recordings projects but uh as he said in one of his last in one of his letters my object as you know was ready to collect the raw materials than to establish any system of my own he was not a theoretician he always bemoaned the fact that he never really he left school at 14. and so most of the rest of his education he had to get on his own informally um but he committed himself more to be a collector of data and then that's basically what he's trying to do record as much as he could to bring back artifacts again for study this is a one of these paintings probably showing raffle's house on top of fort canning especially the bengals house uh this says to lingo's house and uh and he shows his very high heels a bit higher than the volcanic really is but um you know basically raffles did have an extremely trying existence and i think maybe his uh scientific and archaeological historical endeavors were maybe what kept him going as long as they did so he did collect a lot of data off the water that has still not even been processed like these drawings in the british museum so even 200 years later the wrath was his work the collections he made are still of some significance to us today in part because no one will ever be able to recover all the things that he saw okay i think that um in the middle idea of raffles we can study the archaeology of raffles both from the terms lahinda targeology and what archaeological research we can do on rifles itself thank you very much | Archaeology Unit | UC2HQjnUB8CHAwB1VYnixfOQ | 2012-11-27 | Creative Commons Attribution license

C-yYRHw0x7w | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-yYRHw0x7w | Feminism Now Symposium: Saisha Grayson | So, I'm here today to talk about the work of Lucy Orta. The social power and importance of restoring communal bonds, and the belief that this can be done through an artistic practice, is at the heart of Orta's oeuvre. Her impulse to begin creating works of art did not originate in an individualistic notion of self expression, but as an empathetic response to a crisis. Trained and working in the fashion field, it was the suffering and displacement caused by the Gulf War and ensuing economic recession that inspired her first series of artistic works. Using her fashion background, she began sketching ideas for multi purpose garments that would address the needs of the homeless and marginalized victims impacted by the conflict. The first work of the series, Refuge Wear, Habitent, as its name implies, is a weatherproof outer garment that transforms into a tent, providing a habitat, a semblance of private space, protection, and sanctuary to those suddenly deprived of such basic comforts. Later clothing based works expanded quickly from this first effort, becoming more interventionist, placing individuals and pairs in Refuge Wear in public places to disrupt the complacency of the urban street, and then developing into conjoined outfit known as Nexus Architecture, worn by large groups of participants parading through cities, deserts, and political protests, connected by linked garments. Beginning with All in One Basket from 1997, through her ongoing 70 x 7 The Meal projects, Orta, like many feminist artists of the past, returned to the traditional maternal role of providing nourishment and encouraging familial bonding through the shared meal, to provide a direct political engagement with the real world. The first 70 x 7 meal was held in 2000 in the galleries of Kunstraum Innsbruck for 14 invited guests. The second was arranged in the small village of Dieuze where 1,950 of the town's citizens, or two thirds, were seated at one table which stretched from the salt mines to the town hall. Almost 30 such events, over almost 20 years, of various sizes and in various locales, have been presented since then. Each becomes its own unique work, with specially designed Royal Limoges plates and printed tablecloths modulating the theme and iconography, while the placement in town squares, galleries, or an open field, alters the institutional context. Orta's work is often praised for its graceful bridging of disparate fields such as fashion and art, art and performance, performance and activism. Yet its specific similarities, particularly in these food based works, to feminist art projects that also worked in this liminal space seems to have been missed. Her communal works are most often associated with the social situation making theorized by Nicolas Bourriaud's relational aesthetics, rather than as a performance history that would link Orta with collaborative production and performance structures of pioneering feminist artists like Judy Chicago, Suzanne Lacy, Leslie Leibowitz, and the interventionist histories of Adrian Piper, Eleanor Antin, and Valie Export. Yet, while the critical images for this kind of collaborative and performative work is first defined in Suzanne Lacy's own book, Mapping the Terrain, New Genre Public Art, from 1995, which lays out a history of communal art from marginal groups like feminism and other racial groups, this Bourriaud's theory is not based on a defined trajectory, but it does mention past projects with what he deems a similar relational character, focusing on conceptual artists such as On Kawara, Daniel Buren, Dan Graham, and Gordon Matta Clark. He does not include a single female artist from that period, and mentions art developed from such purposely marginal positions only to pronounce, social utopias and revolutionary hopes of the 1960s and 70s have given way to everyday micro utopias and imitative strategies. Any stance that is directly critical of society is futile if based on the illusion of marginality that is nowadays impossible, not to say regressive. As a result, relational aesthetics' proposed political strategies stay very much within the art world, with aspirations focused on changing the model of reception and interaction within the art context, so that it can then model micro utopian interactions outside of that context. Therefore, the inclusion of feminist work in Orta's lineage is important for framing the performative in a politically appropriate way. For while there has been no shortage of critical attention for her artistic projects, it seems to me that the reluctance on the part of the artists and critics to identify aspects of her process, modes of medium and production, and even the works' empathetic inspiration, with feminism, threatens to diminish the degree to which the work is read as aiming towards real social change. Again, one is forced to interrogate history in the making, and wonder what is lost, and who gains, if feminism becomes just one instance of postmodern thought, as Clive Owens once claimed, rather than as its own defining critique. Focusing on the 70 x 7 project provides an interesting case study, then, to see how returning the direct political intentions of early feminist interventions of meals as art offers a way around some recent critiques of the communities produced in relational contemporary art. At the same time, it shows Orta creatively rethinking the identity politics of the previous generations for the era of globalization, using feminist strategies without focusing on exclusively women's issues. The dinner table as a symbol of dialogic relationships, conversations, and conviviality was a key part of Judy Chicago's famous Dinner Party installation, one of the most iconic works of feminist art, and now housed here at the Sackler Center. Also central to Chicago's project was the elevation of traditional feminine crafts to high art through the work's focus on the place settings with their individually designed porcelain places and embroidered runners, which we see echoed in Orta's use of these very same design elements to create an aesthetic and political coherence for each iteration of the 70 x 7 meal. Less well known is Suzanne Lacy's International Dinner Party from 1979, which was 200 actual dinners with thousands of participants from around the world, which were held in coordination with the San Francisco opening of Chicago's Dinner Party, and her river meetings and 1980 potluck dinner for a racially and economically diverse group of 500 women in New Orleans. Later, more formal public performative dinners highlight the voices of the participants, bringing private conversations into the public sphere, for example in Crystal Quilt of 1987, where older women seated around tables speak about aging and death. Orta's 70 x 7 project takes aspects of each, combining the permutational potluck model with the formal aesthetic design of carefully crafted table settings. However, Orta doesn't intend for her pieces to cohere into a traditional performance with selected dialogue or choreographed movements, or a static installation that is reinstalled in new locations. Instead, the artistic product is the event itself and the relationships that evolve between participants, and the particular context and conversations that they produce. In addition to nourishing the social, in a casual sense, Orta also calls upon our social responsibility, in regards to the physical survival of individuals and the planet itself, by reimagining food distribution and preservation. Like her first artistic venture, Refuge Wear, 70 x 7 The Meal was an artistic response to a specific event. To protest European Union trade laws, French farmers would annually dump tons of fruit on the highways, a scene that Orta witnessed in the news in 1996 and identified as part of a much larger system that wastes food while millions go hungry. Observing the Parisian farmer's markets, Orta found that at the end of every day, thousands of bruised, dented, or simply unsold fruit and vegetables were thrown onto the sidewalks and washed into the sewers at night. To her surprise, she also discovered regular scavengers who would come in the evening to pick through produce, and realized that they were, consciously or unconsciously creating a pocket of urban environmental equilibrium. She joined their ranks, collecting fruit every Saturday, and returning home to create jams, preserves, and syrups from her finds, and reporting interviews with her fellow scavengers. All in One Basket, then, was an open air buffet of dishes made entirely out of Orta's preserve leftovers, presented in the historic Parisian markets of Les Halles. While serving, Orta engaged in conversation about the project and the problem of food and ecological waste with the 1,300 people who stopped to taste her dishes. Visitors were also encouraged to see the related exhibition in a nearby gallery, in which the jars labeled with photos of the discarded food were on display, and collecting carts had Walkmans attached, playing the scavenger interviews recorded at the markets. Gallery goers were then filmed as well, talking about the issues raised by the project, extending the cycle of participation and integration. By pushing an engagement, not only between individuals, but with the issue of food, where it comes from, how it gets to some and not others, Orta ensured that the meal, and not just the social situations it allowed, remained a central concern of the work. Orta considers All in One Basket to be act one of the 70 x 7 project, and many of the later sit down meals also use recycled food and local produce as their main ingredients. The topical focus derived from All in One Basket is also present in the design elements of each 70 x 7 iteration. Editions of porcelain plates are individually designed featuring symbols of both hope and global crisis, and tables are often attached to the beds of military vehicles or juxtaposed with other signs of emergency, as we saw earlier. And I realize these will be impossible to read, so the plate on the left says, In truth, the story of water almost always involves abuse, waste, and even tragedy. And the plate on the right has words such as participation, communication, heart, network, survive, determination, abundance, belong, written in alternating German, French, and Italian. The point is not to proselytize for a specific solution, but to remind us that we need to repair communities and reestablish lines of communication, not only for our own comfort and enjoyment, but as the only possible basis from which to achieve political alliances and communal action in a postmodern micro political age. It is here that Orta's evolving conception of community needs to be examined as it pertains to concerns that have been raised around the two other models of seemingly similar practices, those understood as relational aesthetics, and those identified with new genre public art. In Untitled Still, Rirkrit Tiravanija's now legendary first solo show at 303 Gallery in New York, he set up a makeshift kitchen in the office and storeroom of the gallery, and cooked curry for visitors who were then encouraged to stay and socialize. One of the most well known examples of relational aesthetics, this piece formed a major part of Bourriaud's book on the subject. In its simplicity, it showcases the characteristics of a dematerialized relational practice particularly well. Critic Claire Bishop therefore used this piece in particular to critique relational aesthetics in her essay, Antagonism and Relational Aesthetics. She incisively analyzed the politics inherent in such models of communication and community, arguing that democracy is not demonstrated through harmonious togetherness, but through the ability to sustain antagonism and contestation. She points out that the community in the 303 Gallery was predominantly art world insiders. Citing a newspaper quote that the related installation, Tomorrow is Another Day, which reconstructed Tiravanija's apartment replete with the kitchen to cook in, offered an asylum for everyone. Bishop writes, But who is everyone here? This may be a micro utopia, but like utopia, it is still predicated on the exclusion of those who hinder or prevent its realization. His installation reflects Bourriaud's understanding of relations produced through relational works as fundamentally harmonious because they are addressed to a community of viewing subjects with something in common. This is why Tiravanija's works are political only in the loosest sense of advocating dialogue over monologue. Tiravanija's micro utopias give up on the idea of transformation in public culture, and reduces its scope to the pleasures of a private group who identify with one another as gallery goers. I have quoted Bishop at length as she has presented the most important and common critique of the utopian tinged participatory practices, but also because she points to a number of directions where nuanced differences could lead to a more politically significant effort. Bishop takes her argument in one specific direction, one that is extremely critical of any positivistic notion of community as holistic and unifying, supporting artists instead who disrupt community to highlight its exclusions. However, I believe that Orta's 70 x 7 project presents a surprising alternative answer that refuses to negate the potentiality of community, but is still able to answer the critique posed by Bishop and others of its exclusionary nature. For the communities that Orta posits through the realization of the ongoing 70 x 7 acts seems to operate on three ontological levels. First, those who are actually seated around a table and participate in a particular meal together eating food in the same space, second, the larger community formed by those around the world, who, at different times and places, have participated in one of these collective meals, and finally, those who are addressed by, and connected to, the issues of the project, and who could potentially be part of it in the future. In 70 x 7, the rhizomatic structure of the project is such that while some meals have been in and of themselves limited to a small group, those invitees have been then asked to invite seven guests of their own to the next dinner implying a continual chain that could extend forever. At the same time, some meals have been planned to include the entire population of a given locale. Taking the definition of a community at its word and working to reinforce it beyond the physical sharing of a space. Each of these is a first degree community, but taken together they form a second degree as well. As we've become more attuned to the overwhelming presence of delocalized communities in the internet age, we can certainly recognize the importance of such social articulations. Those who have contributed and participated in the umbrella project of all the 70 x 7 iterations, while never having met, share a similar connection to each other through the artwork as a friend of a friend on a social networking site. This chain of relationships in conjunction with the actual events in turn constitutes a critical part of the artwork in its fullest sense. But what of the third level community? Who are they and why are they important to conceive of as a community relevant to the project? This brings us to the thorny questions of issues which underlines critiques of both relational aesthetics and new genre public art. In Antagonism and Relational Aesthetics, Bishop observes, Communication is fine to an extent but it is not in and of itself emblematic of democracy. To be fair, I think Bourriaud recognizes this problem but he does not raise it in relation to the artist he promotes, Connecting people, creating interactive community experiences, he says, What for? If you forget with the, what for, I'm afraid you are left with simple Nokia art producing interpersonal relationships for their own sake and not addressing the political aspects. Bourriaud's championed artists however are very rarely willing to commit to a, what for. Direct political work seems to have gone out of favor as either naive, utopian, or aggressive. Discursively open and ambiguous projects are far more prevalent, strategies of aesthetic participation preferred over strategies of political participation. This sense that oblique references to oppressive capitalistic forces are safer than taking up specific issues is well founded, as evidenced by the intense criticism levelled at so many artists who misstep in an attempt to negotiate this terrain with politically explicit or activist agendas. Accusations of opportunism, exploitation, exclusion, cultural insensitivity, theoretical simplicity, and ignorance accompany charges of aesthetic failings, propagandistic tendencies, overly positivistic representation, and or objectifications of the other leveled at artists that, if nothing else, are generally well meaning in their goals. Whether these critiques are fair, the risk is obvious. To be specifically political is to endanger one's artistic standing. Much of the artwork taken to task for these transgressions is critically framed within Suzanne Lacy's New Genre Public Art, one of the few recent theories that explicitly supports artists addressing social issues through their practice. Critic Miwon Kwon in her 2002 book on site and community specific art one place after another, however, criticizes the conflation between issues, identities, and communities in many such practices. For Kwon the lurking danger behind this participatory turn is that the interest in creating structures for positive self expression and community unification suppresses the actuality of the alienated fragmented subjects so carefully articulated by advanced postmodern theory. Kwon specifically critiques Lacy's project full circle in urban intervention which honored the service of Chicago women and culminated in a large dinner ceremony for, orchestrating a conceptually coherent unity of women that celebrated an abstract gender unity delimited in this case by a set of service oriented characteristics. This universalizing common denominator of woman is seen as automatically trumping all other aspects of identity, individual specificity, and subjective instability and is therefore deemed false and regressive. As the other side of the coin, Kwon points to community based public art in which artists identify a contentious issue and then narrowly match it with a related community. For example, an artist who's black is presumed to be an appropriate delegate to address inner city race conflicts in partnership with an African American cultural organization. In general, the communities in this type of project are disenfranchised, marginalized, and again defined by a similar identity that serves as a fixed common denominator to mark out a specific limited community. Without entering fully into this debate, we can see that the primary arguments in relation to community practices seem to circle around the conflation of social issues with specific communities, and or the suppression of difference and exclusion. However, I would argue that the relationships between communities, issues, and identities in Orta's work breaks with these models in key ways by challenging some of the assumptions that underlie the above arguments. I'm almost out of time so I'm going to speed up. By organizing the 70 x 7 project around pressing issues of food politics, globalization, and emergency support for those in need, the work has a clear articulated content that addresses the, what for, indicated by Bourriaud. At the same time the community that is related to them, the community of those who need food to survive, has no outside for the human community. Therefore, those who are related to issues of food quality and distribution are not only those at one end of the spectrum, the undernourished for example, but equally it is a challenge to the over nourished, the subsistence farmer, and international seed corporation. For each and every person who could be seated at the table would always already have been part of this community and does, whether they participate or not, have a stake at the issue's resolution. This is a return to perhaps an overly idealistic notion of the interconnected global community, but now recognized as neither intrinsically good nor bad, but simply a practical reality with potential for either. Therefore, the community that Orta posits is not presumed harmonious, but to whatever degree an increased recognition of interdependence can inspire us towards more equitable, more civil, more empathetic alliances, they should be supported rather than denigrated as naive or utopian. The community and communication available through the medium of food moves her project ever closer to the improbable but hypothetically imaginable goal of global collective care and action, and what could be a better goal for feminism and feminist art practices both now and in the future.

has also been closed and despite Russian government promises to retaliate against a White House ordered to also expel 35 of its diplomats Russian President Vladimir Putin instead put out a tweet inviting the children of us diplomats to the Kremlin to enjoy New Year's festivities in an official statement he said we will not create problems for American diplomats we will not expel anyone while adding he would be reserving the right to retaliatory measures we will be planning our next steps in restoring the US Russian relations based on the policies pursued by the administration of President Donald Trump with less than 3 weeks until he takes off as president-elect Donald Trump has responded on Twitter he applauded Putin's response to the Obama sanctions writing great move on delay I always knew he was very smart but members of his own Republican party feel differently there are many sanctions we could take financial institutions for one the believe it or not the Russians have a very weak economy we could do a lot more damage there individuals could be sanctioned organizations should could be sanctions when you attack a country it's an act of war and so we have to make sure that there is a price to pay Russia has cautioned the us against adopting new anti- Moscow measures over allegations that the Kremlin sought to influence the November's race for the White House I would like to add that it is necessary for the people in the White House to clearly understand that if Washington undertakes new hostile steps STS it will get a response it concerns any actions against Russian diplomatic missions in the US which will immediately Rush the American diplomats in Russia maybe Obama's administration doesn't care what will happen to the bilateral relations Israel

20th of January when he takes office a speech by US Secretary of State John Kerry brought on the r he criticized Israel accusing its government of undermining the chances of a peace agreement with the Palestinians we have to be clear about what is happening in the West Bank the Israeli Prime Minister publicly supports a two-state solution but his current Coalition is the most right-wing in Israeli history with an agenda gender driven by the most extreme elements this was after last week's un Security Council resolution calling for Israel to stop building Jewish homes on occupied Palestinian land the US didn't use its veto power to protect Israel as it usually does and here in Israel they're worried that in the very last days of the Obama Administration it could take another diplomatic stand laying out the framework for a peace deal at an International Conference the Palestinians might welcome that but Israeli leaders would see it as another attempt to tie the hands of Donald Trump who's promising them strong support secretary Kerrie paid lip service to the unremitting campaign of terrorism that has been waged by the Palestinians against the Jewish state for nearly a century what he did was to spend most of his speech blaming Israel for the lack of Peace by passionately condemning a policy of enabling willing Jews to live in their historic Homeland and in their Eternal

YX-WFhDuwHU | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YX-WFhDuwHU | 6 Signs You Are Love Sick | [Music] hi there psych2goers before we begin we'd like to thank you for your support on our channel we aim to create psychology and mental health content for you in an accessible way and we hope you learned something new from our videos let's begin have you ever had an intense crush on someone before maybe you couldn't stop thinking about them or you felt giddy every time they texted you back according to psychologist dr balfour awa the average length of a crush is four months but these feelings of infatuation can last anywhere from a few hours to a few years if your crush lasts longer than a couple of years it may be a sign of limerence a term used to describe an addiction to the feeling of being in love but limerence is rare only five to ten percent of the us population will ever experience it love sickness is a more common less intense form of limerence that occurs when our brain releases feel-good chemicals like dopamine serotonin oxytocin and vasopressin as the reaction to the person we have a crush on so are you suffering from lovesickness here are six signs you're lovesick 1. you fantasize about them do you make up detailed scenarios about your crush in your head if you often find yourself daydreaming about them or having imaginary conversations with them this may be a sign of lovesickness when you're infatuated with someone there's a level of uncertainty surrounding them that makes you giddy and excited imagining a chance encounter with your crush or future with them is one way of processing your feelings but if these daydreams persist and interfere with your productivity you may be dealing with love sickness rather than a simple crush two you idealize them according to the american psychological association idealization is exaggerating someone's positive traits without seeing or acknowledging their negative ones when you're lovesick over someone it can be easy to imagine them in a perfect light because you feel good around them when this happens you might not notice or might ignore your crush's flaws even if your friends point their flaws out if you find yourself talking and thinking only positive things about your crush even if you know deep down that they're not perfect you're still in the infatuation phase if these feelings persist it could turn into lovesickness three you can't stop thinking about them it's normal to have your crush on your mind especially when you first realize your feelings for them but if you can't get them out of your head even when you really need to focus on other things you may be experiencing love sickness albert watkin a psychologist and professor at sacred heart university compares brain processes of those experiencing limerence to those in people with ocd because love sickness is not as extreme as limerence if you're dealing with love sickness you might still have repeated intrusive or distracting thoughts about your crush that may interfere with your daily routine but you can usually overcome them with effort 4. you read into everything they do do you reread every text your crush sends you looking for a hidden meaning do you catch yourself paying closer attention to the slight changes in their tone of voice rather than what they're actually saying if so this could be a sign of love sickness in the same way that you might idealize someone you're infatuated with if you obsess over your crush's every word in action you can quickly become attached to the idea of them rather than their actual personality if your crush is sending you mixed signals or you don't know them well enough to read them yet you may feel especially giddy or on edge riding the roller coaster of happiness and disappointment which is a symptom of love sickness 5. you're extremely nervous around them you experience increased heart rate flushing shaking and sweating when your crush is nearby with love sickness these feelings are more intense if you are lovesick you might also experience heart palpitations heightened anxiety and nervousness a strong fear of rejection can also come with love sickness which might make you feel afraid to be yourself around your crush so if you feel weak in the knees whenever your crush walks by or speaks to you you may be dealing with love sickness and six you get a rush when they message you back an emotional rush or sudden feelings of euphoria are signs that your brain has released high levels of dopamine into the body do you feel a rush of excitement and nerves every time you think about your crush or get a notification that they've replied when you crush on someone new there's an element of unpredictability because you don't know much about them when you learn something new about your crush or think about how little you know about them the uncertainty is linked with positive feelings of newness and excitement so you might be experiencing love sickness if you feel happier every time you're reminded of your crush if you feel like your crush on someone is unhealthy or lasts longer than a few years it's important to seek guidance from a licensed mental health professional have you ever been left sick what have your experiences with love sickness being like we'd love to hear your thoughts leave your comments below and

subscribe we're trying to get to 20k so please subscribe apart from that let's get into this reaction oh my god oh she was sick at this already she was already sick of this yeah she died she's always had a potential anyways wait he didn't even know no i think she's cheating oh yeah wait who's that wait wait who is i thought she died is this back in the day i think it must be because she definitely when that guy had shimmer um she got demolished [Music] but people don't think that's bad you do not want to go there damn she can't you do not want to go there it's for her today she lied because she's not he's not a castle yet eat i mean he might be but you definitely using that he definitely wouldn't approve this why would he do that he would never i'm getting ready bro she's going straight to the gym you've got a mustache oh who was this daddy oh yeah that's your partner wait he's the guy the guy that's sold out yeah what's his favorite you've accomplished a lot together [Music] this you bro and that's why he doesn't have time he wants to heal himself with this power i don't think only i mean he's probably the guy he wants to see he wants to hear himself cyborg no no one said anything about cyborgs he just wants to use the same way that guy used the magic to save his mum he probably wants to use magic to probably have an immense diet there's nothing he can do because no one will risk so much you know what i need to get to the leg i don't care what he's gonna see the blood he's gonna see the blood is he gonna see the blood come on see the blood man it's literally i think what it tells me if you see someone bleeding just out of nowhere bro that's sauce man yeah you should tell straight away something's wrong yeah here we go let's go jinx what's going on she's gonna make me vicey she know what she's gonna meet vicene oh oh no wait what did she say oh she's trying to read yo this is not looking good this this wall she's able to harness when this what happens she's gonna be on this it too much explosion oh no no need to show us that though she never throw that actually even though she asked she doesn't care i can't tell she does like every night she's probably thinking about that that's crazy what's she doing i can't lie when she's back she's going to break down too risky damn let's go through the hood you got to keep up bro hey you did not have to block that flip you didn't have to flex yeah [Music] now you know hanks bro yeah she's done it she's done it bro you know look at that parkour man bro she's already gone she's already lost you ro the second assassin is my dream hey yo she's like i own this place bro son i can't like home just go home you already love them just go keep long gone this is my home how many years has it been though who are you nice jacket she wants it she's ready just by being a better person i think she's doing his job so i'll just buy i mean jinx here true she has to be like 12 13. what she did now the girls they're going to meet each other i think they are this is how all places are yeah yeah yeah this is the old place in it advice back in town as well bye that's the advice high school did how under she is done whoa whoa whoa whoa okay okay okay okay okay okay i she said bow don't disturb me again she said nobody don't you stop me again she must know she's still alive all she knows is that she disappeared basically [Music] okay let's get it let's get it what should i get the highest as well oh imagine vendor because you're a dream enter she's triggering her in a hate chat damn oh hey you he's gonna get how sick she is bro damn but she's kicking as well but your drink sponges is different it's more it's more wild yeah more angry yeah you still can't beat her it's high it's not forever it's a tough one to take oh haters gonna now that looks tough man well she can't see sorry she ain't getting through there i'm guessing that's their club that's the old club she they used to go to and as a supporter you know you have to say yes you kind of you can't reject that offer you actually can't come on you actually can't say this is exactly what him and his partner said they weren't going to do yeah this is just that politics no he wants him to plant some evidence fireflies this guy doesn't understand that he's gonna die if it doesn't hurt he's seen yourself he's not gonna do it [Music] what it's not gonna be good wait what wait was that what are you waiting for yeah don't do that man i know you i knew there's nobody's going to see you're like wrapped around his finger as well it's just people getting wrapped up bro that's corrupt ptsd ptsd indeed man so what are you gonna do that's why you are you gonna convince her are you gonna this water thing is gonna happen sooner or later i'm actually just waiting for it [Music] this guy fighting for his life and then you're kissing so you're gonna find something [Music] imagine imagine if this guy takes over takes over he finds then he keeps saying he keeps it i feel like if you think that he's gonna disclose something and then like not send him a barrier oh yeah i'm getting married yeah that could happen ah even people are going in okay we get it there show us the magic and you are sleeping out making moves [Music] oh yeah yeah oh that's what we're doing your assistant is about to die oh that's what we're doing it worked oh it's working it's working oh wait whoa what does that do i think that's got something i don't know what i don't know [Music] oh it turns out it turns bad i'm imagine he becomes a magician because this is what magic becomes is to control oh and he becomes a magician wait that means you can create magic look at this was he outside i was in those it wasn't those man [Music] this link is left two days you better move you gotta walk fine bro you have no chance you have no chance she wasn't blessed bro oh oh wait what what the [ __ ] oh wait mechanical oh we're juicing it oh

dp-Eg3ks22Q | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dp-Eg3ks22Q | Many body effects in transition metal oxygen transport with dynamical mean-field theory | Oh all right so I think we are on perfect thank you matter but I would like to start by thanking the organizer and to give me the opportunity to present our work on dynamical mean field theory applied on molecules it's a slightly different topic so I'm aware that we are moving from entanglement quantum solids to molecules but I'd like to introduce the topic as an opportunity to present a recent method we've been developing and you can see that as a beginning of something that can be applied to a wide class of a white class of systems so my name is Cedric Weber I am at King's College Oh one second is dr. carrion all right apologies for technical issues so this would be outline of the talk so I'll start by discussing and explain a bit where I come from which is my background and as you will see actually I'm a condensed matter physicist I come from the field of superconductivity and we got interested in the field of transition metal system and I'll explain a little bit the motivations why we started to look at a molecular system and when I'll link with the introduction of the Chairman Kevin actually mentioned quantum entanglement and I'll discuss briefly the role of quantum fluctuations and quantum physics in molecular system and I'll highlight two example if we have time one is myoglobin which we all know and the other one is homogeneous of course we were all aware in this room at the FT has had a tremendous success it has been applied to all kinds of system with a very simple idea that we are dealing with a wave function which is a complicated object with Rhian coordinates variables and it can be tremendously simplified if we just map that problem to a simple prime which depends only on the density and okay my slide stops here at 2003 but the number of citations with DFT in the abstract F you know steadily increase whose a year since the implementation of DFT has been done in in most of the available codes and up to the point where we can ask ourself is there any limiting cases where DFT is failing is there anything left to do and the short answer is yes of course so we're still on plans with DFT and need for improvement in the case of transition metal system and F system so especially any system which is involving G of F atoms so essentially we are looking at the center of the periodic table with many possible examples which are known in solids such as for example copper oxide superconductor so we're interesting with very interesting applications with vanadium oxides which are interesting because of a metal insulator transition and so on and so forth echo birthdays are nice thermoelectrics so which time you look at a free D or D element and you combine it with ligands with oxygens usually you get interesting properties by the same times you get into trouble because DFT predicts qualitatively wrong properties such as for example you get a metal instead of an insulator and so on and so forth and in our community and canonical or standard here is a Hubble model which is very simplified picture where you have electrons hopping on a lattice with an interaction term U which is the effect that is missing in DFT but when states are very localized with narrow bandwidth electrons feel each other strongly interacting and that leads to very interesting physics which is also difficult to treat at the same time although this is a very simple theory because of the size of the Hilbert space that grows exponentially we are still struggling to get an exact answer to a simple problem we do however know a little bit the physics and what we expect from that types of theory so if you start from mu equals 0 so when you have weak interaction and you have typically density of states in a metallic state as you increase you as a strength of correlations you will end up in a situation which we expect that we open a Mott gap which essentially is associated with a concept that we all know she's called localization but essentially when electrons or objects are correlated they tend to behave with emergent and collective properties one of them is a picture from I think suggested by Anton jaws which I find quite striking which is a effect we all know in the morning at 8:00 in the morning we get traffic jams on the highway we all behave in the same way so we all collide we have a like a direct appreciation of one effect of localization mostly - in Paris and London probably but what is less known maybe is what happens in between so when you are in the intermediate range of correlation you actually have a additional structure called quasi particles these are fermions that excitations that behave like fermions which as mass but essentially those are quite important because you can see there is a sharp resonance a sharp increase of the density of states as a family level so this will dramatically affect most of the properties you are interested in and this is the exact effect that is missing in the F G so the FG will capture very nicely the two limits it might would you have to to see you might open a gap you might get a matter but what is in between is essentially the with quasi particle excitations that are missing at in your theory so progress has been made and we had a few talks this morning about possible approach that can capture this one of them is dynamical mean field theory and we had very nice introductions already so I can skip the details but maybe just to link with what I'm going to discuss next essentially one simple idea is that you have a complicated problem to solve where you have a lattice and the idea of mean feel that you simplify it so you take you replace that complicated program by your simpler one where you have taken out one side of the lattice and you connect it with a bar for reservoir and that bar for reservoir mimics the effect of the rest of the lattice so you have now a quantum correlated problem but which is much simpler because it is a zero dimensional problem and the only question left is how can you describe the bath what defines above such that you can recover the effect with the rest of your solids and I won't say much more on the MFT and besides that one thing that wasn't mentioned may be yet is that if you look at your solids and think of yourself it as a potato with a few correlated atoms if you want to go to DMF g which is defining an auxiliary problem which is called the understand impurity problem you will have to do a mapping from a crystal to this impurity problem and that involves an operation called projection or projectors so you can think of it as your conscience space and you will have to go from your conscience space to the understand impurity model we have this projection operation and this projection operation is essentially dependent on your DFT codes which use a plain wave code for example you will have a plain wave say kmu and you will want to go to a local correlated problem but typically would be your d-orbitals so yeah but that's also plant and this is essentially the many for subspace that is correlated specifically F or D and this is an arbitrary choice so you have already one choice to make here but once this choice is made essentially you can define these projectiles as we evolve as of your plane waves and your hydrogenic orbitals and let's define once and for all and that will allow you to go from the conscience face to the your understand impurity model and I don't want to upset anyone here this is just a small selection of application of G M ft and the only purpose is to show that DM f G has been applied to a wide range of systems we have was a mod transition in the Hubble model superconductors recognize F materials called atoms when adays also molecular systems such as nano contacts and again the list goes on and on may be my only point here was to highlight that in all the applications of GM FG usually people look at solids which are periodic system so the one category of typical system but has been a bit overlooked in the past by our community is molecular system at the same time this systems have been covered question details by both the DFT community and the quantum chemistry community which traditionally has looked at these problems and again I cannot mention everyone but the Kurama there is a pioneer of that for example with TFT press you Jana John has recently started an activity on DMF G coming from the quantum chemistry side what was left is from our community to step in and to see if we can bring something new to this type of approaches so that's what we have to do to go from a periodic system to a gamma system and well there are many many applications most of them have in common that Union not to the DFT and EMA on a system that has between a thousand to a few thousand atoms so that's now the difficulty and to do that we first need to do a DFT calculation which is quite difficult in itself how do you do DFT when you have two thousand three thousand atoms I mean we you probably know that DFT scales like the cube of the number of orbitals so that's a challenge in itself and at the same time there's been recent development in the DFT community regarding DFT approaches that are able to do that we have proximation was a called linear scaling DFT approach one is called one tab developed in the UK and we have some of the developers in the audience the project started with Mike Payne Peter Haines Arash Mustafa Nicholas Hine and with very active I would say and sparks developers community and user community as well so I won't say much about one tab besides that the approximation is relatively well defined you essentially will assume that you look at insulator or molecule and electron sitting on one end of the molecule might not feel or not know about the electrons on the other side of the molecule this is called the nearsighted approximation more formally what you are doing is a truncation of the density car now you will choose and impose a cut-off in the density car now it's one approximation beaba we say is more of an optimization you will use a compact basis set which is optimized during the DFT procedure to do that of course if you want to optimize your basis set you need support functions to write your basis set in the first place which is in one tab cardinal sign function basis that she localized basis so you both optimize the basis at the same time as you truncate correlation on large distances and if you do that essentially you can recover linear scaling in terms of computer time versus the number of atoms as we can see here this has gone up to 7,000 atoms and here's a blue curve is a traditional gfg scaling so it's a very powerful method but you know unlocks a lot of problems that we might be interested in at the cost of these two approximation which aren't quite but breaks down for metallic systems of course this is good for molecules on what insulators not so good for good metals which is not so same here if you want to do the MFT once you have done the one tap calculation things are at you well defined so I will just spend a couple of minutes here before moving to the results so in DMF TV main object is a green's function which is essentially just the inverse of animal italian so you have the universe here times the scaling factor which is a matsuba frequency or real frequency as is another lab matrix because you are now dealing with an optimized basis set which is non orthogonal and Sigma is yourself an energy that contains information about many body effects so essentially what you have to do is inverting a big matrix and once you have the big matrix in the column space define with understand impurity model which is obtained by projecting the greens function we have this project house but I just introduced a few minutes ago and once you project for the greens function you obtain and I will skip here some of the math one function for the ablation that defines once and for all you understand impurity model which is again coming from its projected greens function the math so a bit rapid I'm happy to discuss with anyone more in details some of these equations but the idea is really simple define and greens function in a conscience face projected you can then define this understand impurity model Java stabilization function and the last step is to solve that problem and get a self energy and this was already discussed in some of the earlier talk essentially you have now all the ingredients to apply this to a system of wretchedly large size that contains transition metal ions so here we were interested in oxygen transport and there are mostly four molecules responsible were linked to the role of oxygen transport so we know all of one of them have more globin which is based on Iran which is negating to oxygen and there are three others MOC onion is based on copper and all of these molecules of course is over at the very important functions and have been extensively studied and if I start now jazz with hammer globe I know him which is a kernel of hemoglobin containing the iron Center which is also Lee gating or binding to oxygen to essentially beth's system is very important and people have been interested to understand how it can bind to oxygen - or carbon monoxide which has a two main candidate for for binding to him and the very first time except you could do is apply DFT to that system and this has been done a long time ago and unfortunately you get a slightly disappointing answer that DFT predicts that the binding to carbon monoxide is one electron volt larger than the binding to oxygen - meaning that the affinity of binding to carbon monoxide is thousands of times larger than oxygen - it's a bit disappointing because we all know it's not possible in reality actually we there is a very slight imbalance to ask about monoxide on the order of one kilo Cal per mole which is about 0.02 electron volts this way carbon oxide is toxic because it sticks to him but definitely not with one electron volt larger affinity so that's what we get with DFT and many things have been tried and what we have been doing is not the only answer to that problem but we were interested in looking if electronic coalition's might be responsible for that failure of DFT so can we solve a problem with GM FG and essentially recover more realistic and possible binding energies so this is your heme molecule I run in the center about two hundred and forty orbitals it's quite last we saw with quantum Monte Carlo so even for such a small system you are entering the regime of challenging problems to solve exactly however it is system that is very similar to our understanding purity model so an impurity I Ron connected to above so we can use these projectiles that we introduce a bit earlier to do this mapping between bad problem to that one and we know how to solve this one with any choice of interaction vertex that we want and let's have a look at the results and before I go to the result which is designed for undergrad students so this is as we effect of the rule what is the wounds were coupling and in England we do this analogy with a bad feeling rule that if you enter in any bus in London people tend to occupy seat one city at a time you have singly occupied seats in the bus so that's what our electrons are doing if you introduce a hoon's rule essentially you want to occupy one orbital at a time to create a magnetic moment so that's something that wasn't done so far stated in him so we start here to look at him by choosing our interaction vertex so the value of U was mentioned before the value of the ones coupling was not so much discussed so the wounds rule is another of the coefficient of its later cost of interaction so here on the horizontal axis you have the hoons coupling when the one's coupling is large you want to align the electron in the same direction and create a large magnetic moment on the other axis you have here the occupation of your iron at one so the iron atom is inside him and of course if you want to create a large magnetic moment ideally you would like to have five electrons that's what you get in the limit of very large wounds coupling we create the largest possible moment which we can make so you have here a high spin limit when you don't include the hoons coupling when j is equal to zero you get a low spin regime where you have a larger number of electrons and of course you have somewhere in between a transition between low spin to high spin now in reality in him you have I wrong and there's only one value sensible value of the un's coupling it's not something you can share I run as a screen value for its interactions and if you do some calculation you would find that it is somewhere around 0.7 which places him in this regime here which is interestingly just as a transition between the high spin to low spin system so most studied I would have mentioned that a lot of studies have been done at j equals 0 and u equal 4 actually not so much has been done with the ones coupling so we found this interesting and carrying on you might you also will find what surprised that if you increase the runes coupling you increase the magnetic moment going for different steps and here this place is actually our him somewhere in between the triplet and the quartet quite interestingly here i should say one thing is that in DMF t you are not actually breaking by hand the spin symmetry so you are not polarizing your electrons we are doing the full calculation with the same number of up and down electrons which is quite realistic molecule is not a magnet somehow you have a freak waiting moment but you are not breaking the spin symmetry so this we can do in the MFT because you are looking at a ground state which is in a quantum superposition of all the possible contribution to the multiplet so you are building a multiplied by not breaking the spin symmetry this is why you have to think a little bit how to define the magnetic moment but in this case is defined by the fluctuations of the s operator you have to skip a few things so since we have now this transition between low spin to high spin another quantity you might want to look at is the quantum entanglement of this quantum entropy so Assoc the question is do you have only one state for him is it a pure classical state or is the true quantum state that is in a superposition of many different contribution this can be defined formally and calculated and measured by what we call the four normal entropy which is essentially simply the entropy coming from the density matrix but because now you want to look at your iron atom it contains the information about this the magnetic moment you have first to trace out the buff degrees of freedom so here what we are doing is a trace overall the buff quantum states and we are left with a density matrix that only contains the information about your D orbitals from this density matrix you can obtain the eigen values and define the entropy in the usual way which is called the form at the phone no man anchovy and looking at what we get here again the same thing so we have now this transition as you increase the hoons coupling and what you were to realize is that we entropy the entanglement quantum entropy which is a maximum just that is a physical regime where you would actually have the heme molecule at 0.7 and the entropy is smaller on yon on either side which makes sense when the very high spin limit entropy goes down again in the low spin limits the entropy is lower as well so in some way we are placing him some in this transition and thinking of it a little bit as a Schrodinger cut rather than a pure state however we have to rethink a bit be careful about what we call and think I'm not an entropy the reason why we have the two contribution to be entanglement one is the accumulation of possible quantum states we are building multiplet multiplet as many different contribution and you might have different multi-plate which are all contributing to the partition function however these numbers we are looking at of a magnetic moment and charge of the iron atom which is in itself those are not quantum number the iron at home is hybridized to the rest of the molecule so a contribution to this of valence fluctuations comes from the hybridization between the iron and the rest of the molecule and that's not coming from a pure quantum effect or just coming from the definition itself of what we call valence fluctuations or entropy however still it holds that the system is somewhere in this transition to a maximum entropy and now the last question is did we solve the problem so did i hi with DMF to solve this imbalance of binding energies and here you have the difference of binding energies between carbon monoxide and oxygen to you can see that when the ones coupling is small essentially the molecule has a very large tendency to bind to co actually five electrons more so it's actually even worse when GFT but if you increase the ones capping it goes down and somewhere near the value of 0.7 you are around one Evy and it stays there it saturates before for large values so essentially we have not solved the problem so Jim oft does not bring you towards the point where we can explain why carbon monoxide and all two binds in the same way to to him so what is missing here what did we miss in this calculation well obviously things are in life more complicated I did show you a very small model of his heme molecule and a question in biology of quantum chemistry is actually what model shall we consider so what I just showed you is just this little portion of him and you can see now here the rest of the molecule a few more residues actually the full molecule is much larger than that this contains now 53 residues about a thousand atoms but we did essentially look at a larger model this larger model as you can see is important because it links him here to the rest of the molecule and there is a fifth was a histidine group for the fifth ligand but is pushed up just under the iron at all and many people claim but actually that fifth ligand and the stress tensor in the molecule itself are actually important to capture correctly the electronic properties of of in this case myoglobin so long story short we extended the calculation with the same method to a larger system and we looked if we could find any differences interestingly one of the main resolve it came out is that this time when you look at the season of the charge of the iron at home for oxygen - and Co we solve it actually the wounds coupling at very little effect for the binding to carbon monoxide system for the bound system to carbon monoxide actually conceived is the iron atom keeps the same charge for a TV large values of the moon's coupling and actually that makes sense this is coming from the fact that carbon monoxide is having a strong covalent bond with Iran so we expect to have quite a large gap in this case and for the case of oxygen to actually is a charge of Iran the charge transfer is changing gradually as you increase the hoons coupling and that come from the fact that you affect the charge transfer between the iron and oxygen to ligand so we we obtained in some way now a binding discrimination but actually was missing in the previous was not observed in the previous calculation and looking now at the energy you have now the binding energies for carbon monoxide in o2 the blue curve is carbon monoxide so you can see that when the ones coupling is zero you still buy into carbon monoxide but now you can see by the red curve crosses the blue curve at around 0.7 and then I say we enter in a different regime where the binding is much more in favor of o2 so sorry if it's quite interesting picture it tells you that in this heme molecule just looking the interaction vertex there are not so many choices of the interaction but Rose actually reasonable binding so that was a little bit to a philosophical question why did nature choose iron in hemoglobin one simple example if you would go down I Ron you would find raffinate which has the same valence electrons but we for UN's coupling twice as small twice more and indeed so this the molecule exists with raffinate instead of iron but does not bind to oxygen - so there are some crew where this might not be completely wrong or situation is more complex for sure and I am not reaching my time so it's a good time to conclude I did not have time to mention emotional let me just say one last thing is that I did mention about the magnetic properties if you want to understand how the magnetic properties of this molecule because you are looking at a quantum system you have to actually do a histogram and here in this case you have the histogram of the multiplet component which contribute to the reduced density matrix so if you ask me what is the spin of him so he molecule I would have to tell you why it depends on your measurement and he is a statistic so you see that for the carbon monoxide which have is light marble colors the dominant contribution is a singlet but you see but very large a contribution from the doublet and triplet for oxygen to the larger component is a triplet but you have satellites as well so although we are not breaking the spin symmetry in the MFT the new challenge is when after to understand your problem you have to do an analysis in terms of distributions which is actually probably realistic the system is the state of argon atom is not necessarily entirely defined as a pure state so I will conclude here I will have to skip the emotional topic but let me just finish by listing my collaborators so mohammed al battery at KCl did most of the calculation for the homogeny and edward Linscott in cambridge for myoglobin of course in the theory part many people were involved but the project started in collaboration with Mike Payne or an alien' untoned Josh and Daniel : Nick Hine very much contributed to the design of the project and especially Danny's rehab biological expert so I will leave you with my conclusion thank you [Applause] | ICTP Condensed Matter and Statistical Physics | UCcW7z2pE37Z4I1koTwahBfA |

NwCL1Y-ffao | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwCL1Y-ffao | Grim Tales - The little peasant | [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] there was once a village where everyone was rich well everyone except one little man who was astonishingly poor all the rich people laughed at him and called him the stupid little peasant and threw bits of large and rubbish at him because they didn't like poor people and in fact the village was called horrid on see rich peasants had beautiful houses fields full of cows as far as the eye could see and they have kicked it loose with jam on for breakfast that's six the peasants was so poor he had to eat twigs with no Jan yeah and when he and his wife had eaten all the twigs for miles around they had to start eating the floor of their heart race floorboards bit chewy said his wife likes nice change though oh it was sad to see his wife getting mouthfuls of splinters every night because he loved her very much it's sad one night instead of eating his floorboard he decided to make her a special present from it and as she had always wanted to have some cows he made the floorboard into a little calf well it wasn't big enough to make into a cow it looks completely real hey why don't we put it out to graze with all the other calves and the next morning when all the calves from the village are being driven out to the fields the little peasant call that to the cow herd hey I've got a little cough to take him along and be sure you look after him well Wow righty-ho said the cow herd and he took the wooden calf to the top of a cliff and chucked it in the sea splosh serving right for being up poor peasant but the poor peasant saw him doing it and grabbed him by the nose and took him to the mayor he threw my only car over the top of the cliff your worship war was an accident it wasn't an accident if it was an accident why did you shout you glory mo where's the speech impediment both of you shut up [ __ ] [ __ ] either way were very careless said the mayor right Cowherd you'll give the little peasant a cow to replace his lost calf hey we don't worry because I'll pick which one you have to give him you naughty girl nice one because the mayor didn't like the little peasant either he picked the most sickly manky ten thousand year old cow and gave him that little peasant rushed home look why we got a real cow bunk Oh No it's dead there's last longer they these farmers are locking it I won't never mind it can't be helped said his wife take it skin off let's see what you can get for it down the market what is it you get much for a cow with those skins no I mean seller skin you dope oh right little peasant set off to town with his cow skin under his arm and Wow now it's started pouring with rain like all the clouds were tipping out there paddling pools well no and up ahead he saw a rich farmers house so he ran and he knocked on the door there's no one home please let me in are you Lich no get lost then please let me know I'm soaking wet now alright come on easy door open the bastard come in quickly and take little attorney are you hungry oh yes I am very hungry well tough there's no food and would you like a comfortable bed for the night oh yes please well you can't have one lie down over there in that puddle and make sure you roll around a bit and soak up all the water save me getting a mob at little peasant lay down in the puddle and pretended to fall asleep the sneaky brother said the little stinking poor person is asleep then out of the corner of his eye the little peasant saw the sneaky brother go into the cupboard and bring out a huge roast turkey a bucket of ice cream a bag of sweets as big as my bottom and a gallon of lemonade and he just said there wasn't any food he was a liar two spoons in each everyone's food go boss everyone around and they all have to smile at me even when I was pinching cuz I'd be the mayor suddenly he heard my good brother I must hide the food and the sneaky brother was in such a panic and hid all the food in the bed dear brother thank goodness you're back again and I was so worried well the good farmer saw the peasant lying on the floor was that lion in the puddle Oh well laughs well you know me that's a matter some poor person is their kind too well that's very good said the farmer we must all be very kind to poor people now could I have something to eat please buy I'm starving oh no you can't oh dear I think I've given all the food away to poor people and there's only this bit of moldy bread left but the good farmer went over to the little peasant woke him up and said hello little poor parson I've got a piece of moldy bread would you like half of us and you can't be comfortable on the floor get up and go and lie in the bed no no no not the bed and because he absolutely insisted on lying on the floor you love it down there don't you well it's not much room in the bed said the peasant with all this food in it and the good farmer gasped with amazement when he saw the feast under the quilt goodness gracious he said why is all that food in the bed oh I don't know maybe it was tired and the sneaky brother had to sit at the table and share out his secret food with the other two this is delicious said the good farmer well done little peasant here's a present and he lifted up a floorboard oh thank you to the wife and I'll enjoy that said the little peasant taking the floorboard no no not that you're silly Billy said the farmer have all this money that I keep in the floor and he gave him three hundred pieces of gold oh thanks said the little peasant and ran all the way home to his wife and straight away they spent all the money building a fantastic house with seventy bedrooms boating lake six tennis courts its own fun fair and that was just in the kitchen [Music] no can't have that I mean the peasant was dragged before the lair he said yesterday you were poor now you have the biggest dousing shower you must have stolen some money oh no said the depending you see there was this farmer yeah and you stole all his money don't you argue with me I'm the mayor who's the mayor and the mayor I'm the mayor cuz I'm so hard watch Oh see hard right where's he gone oh there is and that's for you you're a thief i sentence you to be put in a barrel full of holes and roll into the sea to drown so that's what the villagers did and we ruled him right up to the top of the cliff that justice division the edge of the lip the mayor said hang on time for lunch back in an hour everyone and as they were all very greedy they forgot what they were doing and ran home for lunch as he sat in his barrel through one of the little holes the peasants sought the sleeky brother walking past with a huge herd of sheep that he just stolen from the good farmer his own brother and remembering that horrid sneaky man wanted to be mayor the little peasant hit upon a plan and started to shout no I will not do it if the whole world insists on it I will not do it hey what's the matter in there sneaky brother they want to make me the mayor of the whole village if I stay in this barrel for an hour but I'm fed up with it and I don't want to do it hey I'll be the mayor and he got straight into the barrel the little peasant shot the top down on him and went home to his wife taking the big herd of sheep with him the villagers came back to the barrel after lunch and rolled it straight into the sea glug glug glug down it went on they all went home ah ha ha ha laughing but when they got back there in the middle of the village was the little peasant looking quite happy with a huge flock of sheep beside him how did you get there weren't you in the sea oh yes the peasant and at the bottom of the sea there are hundreds of sheep so I brought a few come back with me unbelievable said the villagers let's go go and get some free shape for ourselves haha male first said the mayor so the mayor and the whole village jumped over the edge of the cliff splash splish in one sports Beach and the whole village was drowned because as we know that's what happens at the bottom of the sea so the little peasant was left in charge of everything he wrote to all his cousin's were even poorer than he was and they came to live in the rich people's houses he made the good farmer the mayor and they changed the name of the village to extremely lovely uncie [Music] [Applause] [Music] | Classic Toonz | UCq0yDJFe5RFd0x0mk9h9ETg | 2020-01-19 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en |

z1rNdU8DMUQ | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1rNdU8DMUQ | Net Worth By Age (2021) | what's happening it's shane here and in today's video we are going to be talking about the average net worth by age and actually we're going to be talking about the median net worth by age but i had to title this video average because the youtube algorithm but anyways we are going to be going over what people make on average by their age and then we're also going to talk about a couple other important demographics as well and you are probably going to be shocked at what the average net worth of somebody who say 25 or 30 years old is in fact i kind of want you to come up with a figure in your head right now what do you think the average net worth of a 30 year old is or in this case actually median net worth what is the median net worth of a 30 year old but before we get into that make sure to gently tap the like button goal for this video is going to be 2 000 likes also hit that subscribe button and ring the notification bell so that you never miss out on a video all right so what was your prediction for the median net worth of a 30 year old in the united states was it fifty thousand dollars was it eighty thousand dollars was it a hundred thousand dollars how about negative one thousand nine hundred and eighty nine dollars that's right the median net worth of somebody who's in that range is in the negatives you actually do not have a positive medium net worth until you are 31 years old yikes now what is the reason for this well one of the obvious reasons is because of the fact that people go to college and they get in ridiculous amounts of student loan debt they also take out car loans credit card loans etc but of course the main reason for this is because people are taking out so much debt now it is a little bit difficult to calculate the average or median net worth of all people under the age of 35 just because people take drastically different life paths and they make you know huge life decisions that are completely different so for instance you know somebody might go into the workforce right away right after high school maybe they start a trade career they become an apprentice something like that and so they're making money right away and maybe they're also very frugal they buy a cheap car they start investing right away and you know they don't spend very much money whereas somebody else might go deep into debt and it might not even be a bad decision right so if you are going deep into debt to become a doctor or you're going deep into debt start a business that ends up becoming successful then that could eventually end up being a very good thing now according to federal reserve data it actually does not go under the age of 35 because like i said this is very difficult to calculate but according to their data the average net worth of people under the age of 35 is 76 000 and the median net worth is 14 000. so again pretty close to zero especially if you calculate the median which does tend to be more accurate because of the fact that you know average you're gonna have somebody who has like a hundred billion dollars they're just like a statistical flyer and they're gonna mess everything up so the more accurate one is going to be the median which is fourteen thousand 000 for those who are younger than 35 years old now one thing that i've talked about before is on average uh people who get a bachelor's degree it takes them 20 years to pay it off so if you get a bachelor's degree at 22 years old you're probably not going to pay it off until you're 42. and this is of course for people who take out student loans people go on average almost 40 000 in student loan debt but yeah i guess it's nice to know that uh you know compared to other people who are your age if you have a net worth of one dollar then you're probably better off than most people under the age of 30. now i have two really good resources for you the first one is going to help you to figure out what exactly your net worth is and it's nerd wallet which is a great resource great website they come out with a lot of great stuff and net worth is very simply stated just assets minus liabilities so assets are things that you own most of the time assets are going to be appreciating in value so a few examples of assets would be the money you have in your checking account your savings account uh different investment accounts your house your car etc a few example of liabilities would be credit card debt student loan debt auto loans mortgage loans etc basically anything that is in the negative and so nerd wallet has a really cool little calculator that you can use to basically quickly figure out what your net worth is and you can check that out uh down in the description below and then once you know what your net worth is you can compare it to all of the charts that are out there on the internet um there's even net worth calculators that'll tell you what your net worth is compared to others but this is only if you're just curious about it if you're young from the ages of 18 to 35 it's going to be completely different depending on the life path that you choose but anyways hope you enjoyed the video go ahead check out my other videos right here make sure to gently tap that like button hit the subscribe button ring the notification bell and comment down below any thoughts comments criticisms etc that you have on the video and i will see you next time | Shane Hummus | UCLKZ20yD2tNMBOkSDZo4FeQ | 2021-11-19 | Creative Commons Attribution

qRD_er3EIl0 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRD_er3EIl0 | Orbital maneuver | Wikipedia audio article | in spaceflight an orbital maneuver otherwise known as a burn is the use of propulsion systems to change the orbit of a spacecraft for spacecraft far from Earth for example those in orbits around the Sun an orbital maneuver as called a deep space maneuver dsm the rest of the flight especially in a transfer orbit is called coasting topic general topic rocket equation the seal Kowski rocket equation or ideal rocket equation as an equation that is useful for considering vehicles that follow the basic principle of a rocket where a device that can apply acceleration to itself a thrust by expelling part of its mass with high speed and moving due to the conservation of momentum specifically it is a mathematical equation that relates the Delta V the maximum change of speed of the rocket if no other external forces act with the effective exhaust velocity and the initial and final mass of a rocket or other reaction engine for any such maneuver or journey involving a number of such maneuvers Delta V equals laine m0 m1 display style Delta V equals V underscore text e lane frac M underscore 0 M underscore 1 where m 0 display style M underscore 0 is the initial total mass including propellant M 1 display style M underscore one is the final total mass v ii display style v underscore text e is the effective exhaust velocity v equals high SP g0 display style v underscore text e equals i underscore text SP CD OTG underscore zero where I SP display style i underscore text SP is the specific impulse expressed as a time period ng0 display style g underscore zero is the gravitational constant delta v display style Delta V is Delta V the maximum change of speed of the vehicle with no external forces acting topic delta-v the applied change in speed of each maneuver is referred to as Delta V Delta V display style Delta math bfv topic delta-v budget the total Delta V for all and each manoeuvre is estimated for a mission and is called a Delta V budget with a good approximation of the Delta V budget designers can estimate the fuel to payload requirements of the spacecraft using the rocket equation topic impulsive maneuvers impulsive maneuver is the mathematical model of a maneuver as an instantaneous change in the spacecraft's velocity magnitude and/or direction as illustrated in Figure one it is the limit case of a burn to generate a particular amount of Delta V as the burn time tends to zero in the physical world no truly instantaneous change in velocity is possible as this would require an infinite force applied during an infinitely short time but as a mathematical model it in most cases describes the effect of a maneuver on the orbit very well the offset of the velocity vector after the end of real burn from the velocity vector at the same time resulting from the theoretical impulsive maneuver as only caused by the difference in gravitational force along the two paths red and black in Figure one which in general as small in the planning phase of space missions designers will first approximate their intended orbital changes using impulsive maneuvers that greatly reduces the complexity of finding the correct orbital transitions topic applying a low thrust over a longer period of time applying a low thrust over a longer period of time as referred to as a non impulsive maneuver where non impulsive refers to the manoeuvre not being of a short time period rather than not involving impulse change in momentum which clearly must take place another term as finite burn where the word finite is used to mean non zero or practically again over a longer period for a few space missions such as those including a space rendezvous high fidelity models of the trajectories are required to meet the mission goals calculating a finite burn requires a detailed model of the spacecraft and its thrusters the most important of details include mass center of mass moment of inertia thruster positions thrust vectors thrust curves specific impulse thrust centroid offsets and fuel consumption topic assists topic Oberth effect in astronautics the Oberth effect as where the use of a rocket engine when traveling at high speed generates much more useful energy than one at low speed Oberth effect occurs because the propellant has more usable energy due to its kinetic energy on top of its chemical potential energy and it turns out that the vehicle is able to employ this kinetic energy to generate more mechanical power it is named after Hermann Oberth the austro-hungarian born german physicist and a founder of modern rocketry who apparently first described the effect Oberth effect is used in a powered fly by or Oberth maneuver where the application of an impulse typically from the use of a rocket engine close to a gravitational body where the gravity potential is low and the speed is high can give much more change in kinetic energy and final speed ie higher specific energy than the same impulse applied further from the body for the same initial orbit since the Oberth maneuver happens in a very limited time while still at low altitude to generate a high impulse the engine necessarily needs to achieve high thrust impulses by definition the time multiplied by thrust thus the Oberth effect is far less useful for low thrust engines such as ion thrusters historically a lack of understanding of this effect led investigators to conclude that interplanetary travel would require completely impractical amounts of propellant as without it enormous amounts of energy are needed topic gravitational assist in orbital mechanics and aerospace engineering a gravitational slingshot gravity assist maneuver or swing by as the use of the relative movement and gravity of a planet or other celestial body to alter the path and speed of a spacecraft typically in order to save propellant time and expense gravity assistance can be used to accelerate decelerate and/or redirect the path of a spacecraft the assist is provided by the motion orbital angular momentum of the gravitating body as it pulls on the spacecraft the technique was first proposed as a mid-course maneuver in 1961 and used by interplanetary probes from Mariner 10 onwards including the two Voyager probes notable flybys of Jupiter and Saturn topic transfer Orbitz orbit insertion as a general term for a maneuver that is more than a small correction it may be used for a manoeuvre to change a transfer orbit or an ascent orbit into a stable one but also to change a stable orbit into a descent descent orbit insertion also the term orbit injection is used especially for changing a stable orbit into a transfer orbit eg translunar injection tli trans-mars injection TMI and trans Earth injection teh topic Hohmann transfer in orbital mechanics the Hohmann transfer orbit as an elliptical orbit used to transfer between two circular orbits of different altitudes in the same plane the orbital maneuver to perform the Hohmann transfer uses two engine impulses which move a spacecraft onto and off the transfer orbit this maneuver was named after Walter Holman the German scientist who published a description of it in his 1925 book diorite barky der himmel scooper the accessibility of celestial bodies Holman was influenced in part by the German science fiction author Kurt la wits and his 1897 book two planets topic by elliptic transfer in astronautics and aerospace engineering the BI elliptic transfer as an orbital maneuver that moves a spacecraft from one orbit to another and may in certain situations require less delta v than a Hohmann transfer maneuver the BI elliptic transfer consists of two half elliptic orbits from the initial orbit a Delta V is applied boosting the spacecraft into the first transfer orbit with an ax Pope's isatis play-style are underscore be away from the central body at this point a second Delta V is applied sending the spacecraft into the second elliptical orbit with periapsis at the radius of the final desired orbit where a third Delta V is performed injecting the spacecraft into the desired orbit while they require one more engine burn than a Hohmann transfer and generally requires a greater travel time some bi elliptic transfers require a lower amount of total Delta V than a Hohmann transfer when the ratio of final two initial semi-major axis as 11.9 4 or greater depending on the intermediate semi-major axis chosen the idea of the BI elliptical transfer trajectory was first published by air Eastern felled in 1934 topic low energy transfer a low energy transfer or low energy trajectory is a route in space which allows spacecraft to change orbits using very little fuel these routes work in the earth-moon system and also in other systems such as traveling between the satellites of Jupiter the drawback of such trajectories as that they take much longer to complete than higher energy more fuel transfers such as Hohmann transfer orbits low energy transfer are also known as weak stability boundary trajectories or ballistic capture trajectories low energy transfers follow special pathways in space sometimes referred to as the interplanetary transport network following these pathways allows for long distances to be traversed for little expenditure of Delta V topic orbital inclination change orbital inclination changes an orbital maneuver and at changing the inclination of an orbiting bodies orbit this maneuver is also known as an orbital plane change as the plane of the orbit is tipped this maneuver requires a change in the orbital velocity vector Delta V at the orbital nodes ie the point where the initial and desired orbits intersect the line of orbital nodes as defined by the intersection of the two orbital planes in general inclination changes can require a great deal of Delta V to perform and most mission planners try to avoid them whenever possible to conserve fuel this is typically achieved by launching a spacecraft directly into the desired inclination or as close to it as possible so as to minimize any inclination change required over the duration of the spacecraft life maximum efficiency of inclination change is achieved at a Pope's as' or Apogee where orbital velocity V display style V is the lowest in some cases it may require less total Delta V to raise the satellite into a higher orbit change the orbit plane at the higher Apogee and then lower the satellite to its original altitude topic constant thrust trajectory constant thrust and constant acceleration trajectories involve the spacecraft firing its engine in a prolonged constant burn in the limiting case where the vehicle acceleration is high compared to the local gravitational acceleration the spacecraft points straight toward the target accounting for target motion and remains accelerating constantly under high thrust until it reaches its target in this high thrust case the trajectory approaches a straight line if it is required that the spacecraft rendezvous with the target rather than performing a flyby then the spacecraft must flip its orientation halfway through the journey and decelerate the rest of the way in the constant thrust trajectory the vehicles acceleration increases during thrusting period since the fuel use means the vehicle mass decreases if instead of constant thrust the vehicle has constant acceleration the engine thrust must decrease during the trajectory this trajectory requires that the spacecraft maintain a high acceleration for long durations for interplanetary transfers days weeks or months of constant thrusting may be required as a result there are no currently available spacecraft propulsion systems capable of using this trajectory it has been suggested that some forms of nuclear fission or fusion based or antimatter powered rockets would be capable of this trajectory more practically this type of maneuver is used in low thrust maneuvers for example with ion engines hall-effect engines and others these types of engines have very high specific impulse fuel efficiency but currently are only available with fairly low absolute thrust topic rendezvous and docking topic orbit phasing in astrodynamics orbit phasing is the adjustment of the time position of spacecraft along its orbit usually described as adjusting the orbiting spacecrafts true anomaly topic space rendezvous and docking a space rendezvous as an orbital maneuvering which two spacecraft one of which is often a space station arrive at the same orbit and approach to a very close distance eg within visual contact rendezvous requires a precise match of the orbital velocities of the two spacecraft allowing them to remain at a constant distance through orbital station-keeping rendezvous may or may not be followed by docking or berthing procedures which bring the spacecraft into physical contact and create a link between them topic see also

T7nIljbbLzI | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7nIljbbLzI | 1792 United States presidential election | Wikipedia audio article | the United States presidential election of 1792 was the second quadrennial presidential election it was held from Friday November 2nd to Wednesday December 5th 1792 incumbent President George Washington was elected to a second term by a unanimous vote in the electoral college while John Adams was re-elected as vice president Washington was essentially unopposed but Adams faced a competitive reelection against governor George Clinton of New York Washington was widely popular and no one made a serious attempt to oppose his reelection electoral rules of the time required each presidential elector to cast two votes without distinguishing which was for president and which for Vice President the recipient of the most votes would then become president and the runner-up vice president the Democratic Republican Party which had organized in opposition to the policies of Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton supported Clinton for the position of vice president Adams meanwhile was backed by the Federalist Party in his bid for another term neither party had fully organized and partisan divisions had not yet solidified Washington received one hundred thirty two electoral votes one from each elector Adams 177 electoral votes enough to win re-election Clinton finished in third place with 50 electoral votes taking his home state of New York as well as three southern states two other candidates won the five remaining electoral votes this election was the first in which each of the original thirteen states appointed electors as did the newly added states of Kentucky and Vermont it was also the only presidential election that was not held exactly four years after the previous election although part of the previous election was held four years prior topic candidates in 1792 presidential elections were still conducted according to the original method established under the US Constitution under this system each elector cast two votes the candidate who received the greatest number of votes so long as they won a majority became president while the runner-up became vice president the twelfth amendment would eventually replace this system requiring electors to cast one vote for president and one vote for vice president but this change did not take effect until 1804 because of this it is difficult to use modern-day terminology to describe the relationship among the candidates in this election Washington is generally held by historians to have run unopposed indeed the incumbent president enjoyed bipartisan support and received one vote from every elector the choice for Vice President was more divisive the Federalist Party threw its support behind the incumbent vice president John Adams of Massachusetts while the Democratic Republican Party backed the candidacy of New York Governor George Clinton because few doubted that Washington would receive the greatest number of votes Adams and Clinton were effectively competing for the vice presidency under the letter of the law however they were technically candidates for president competing against Washington topic Federalists nomination George Washington President of the United States from Virginia John Adams vice president of the United States from Massachusetts topic Democratic Republican nomination George Washington President of the United States from Virginia George Clinton governor of New York born out of the anti-federalists faction that had opposed the Constitution in 1788 the Democratic Republican Party was the main opposition to the agenda of Treasury secretary Alexander Hamilton they had no chance of unseating Washington but hope to win the vice presidency by defeating the incumbent Adams many Democratic Republicans would have preferred to nominate Thomas Jefferson their ideological leader in Washington Secretary of State however this would have cost them the state of Virginia as electors were not permitted to vote for two candidates from their home state and Washington was also a Virginian Clinton the Governor of New York and a former anti federalists leader became the party's nominee after he won the backing of Jefferson and James Madison Clinton was from an electoral II important swing state and he convinced party leaders that he would be a stronger candidate than another New Yorker senator Aaron Burr a group of Democratic Republican leaders met in Philadelphia in October 1792 and selected Clinton as the party's vice presidential candidate topic campaign by 1792 a Party division had emerged between Federalists led by Treasury secretary Alexander Hamilton who desired a stronger federal government with a leading role in the economy and the Democratic Republicans led by Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson and representative James Madison of Virginia who favored states rights and opposed Hamilton's economic program Madison was at first a Federalists until he opposed the establishment of Hamilton's first bank of the United States in 1791 he formed the Democratic Republican Party along with anti-federalists Thomas Jefferson in 1792 the elections of 1792 were the first ones in the United States to be contested on anything resembling a partisan basis in most states the congressional elections were recognized in some senses a struggle between the Treasury Department and the Republican interest to use the words of Jefferson strategist John Beckley in New York the race for governor was fought along these lines the candidates were Chief Justice John Jay a Hamiltonian an incumbent George Clinton the party's vice presidential nominee although Washington had been considering retiring both sides encouraged him to remain in office to bridge factional differences Washington was supported by practically all sides throughout his presidency and gained more popularity with the passage of the Bill of Rights however the Democratic Republicans and the Federalists contested the vice presidency with incumbent John Adams as the Federalist nominee and George Clinton as the Democratic Republican nominee Federalists attacked Clinton for his past association with the anti-federalists with some Democratic Republican electors voting against their nominee George Clinton

Tcvk4BfY7ao | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tcvk4BfY7ao | Shannon Easter White - Investing in Flint | INSIGHT | [Music] welcome to insight today we're chatting with sean and easter white trustee of the flint institute of arts who has generously agreed to share some of her experience with us in flint and shannon thank you so much for coming today thank you it's just great to have you you work with so many different organizations across this community you've lived in this community you have a business in this community let's talk a little bit about flint and let's create a setting for this wonderful institution the flint institute of arts but within flint and amongst other great institutions could you talk a little bit about your perspective of how you see flint uh your the cultural landscape that you have and the educational landscape that you have here sure um well i would say i'm just a kid from flint and i was born and raised here i went to high school here i went to the university of michigan and have my bachelor's and my master's in architecture and said i would never come back to flint and here i am um i'm 44 years old and have two kids that i love raising in this community we come frequently here to the flint institute of arts for art classes they've been playing clay since they were two i've taken a lot of classes in glass blowing and acrylics and loom weaving and all kinds of stuff with a group of friends that uh sort of come and go whenever they can you're in a creative profession talk about how that idea of art and the idea of business actually meld together because flint you know with its renowned history as sort of the center of general motors for a very long time and then we had the departure general motors and the reinvention of this area yeah now it really is about design it is about design thinking isn't it yeah i mean i always say to my clients um and to my kids uh the design matters so i mean you can't separate general motors from design right everybody wants their car to be the the most efficient the most safe but you're not going to buy it if it's really ugly and i would say the same is true of architecture in our landscape and the community that we live in so i mean my professional career is very much focused on making things that are well designed quite frankly and i think that flint has a lot to offer in the surrounding communities in terms of cultural institutions i would say ours is world class describe the campus around here because it's it's really fascinating you have a dialogue between these different institutions you have the flynn institute of arts yeah um and and you have not only a museum but you also have an art school yeah and then around here there are other institutions could you describe some of those yeah you betcha so i think probably one of our most hidden gems is the is uh applewood estate which is right next door a plethora of learning opportunities about agriculture and science about art technology engineering it was the birth plate or the uh the uh homestead and gentlemen's working farm for charles stuart ma who is the founder of general motors one of one of the early chairmans of the board um we have whiting which is a an amazing performance arts venue seats about 2 500. i think 2 300 more than 2 000 more than 2 000. this and 25 somewhere in always broadway musicals we have a really robust symphony following the flint symphony orchestra performs there um in addition to many many other programs charlie and the chocolate factory is coming next week so so we're excited about that and then you have the sloan museum that is that is undergoing a museum of real reconstruction yeah science and innovation and discovery which is great they will have um showcasing buick gallery which was another institute uh within the community campus but now we'll have even better exhibit space and i think sloane is going to be much more of a hands-on museum than a um the historical component will still be there but just really bang up cool stuff uh for kids and families alike and then the flint public library which is next door uh to the south is spectacular also under going um you know over 20 million in renovation and construction re-branding and re-envisioning itself as a new um media and and uh libraries and a superb planetarium you also have you have that facility and then around the i think it's the second largest geodesic dome in in maybe in the world and we were second only to london in our uh digital technology the shows that are spectacular it's amazing it's amazing and and and then around there built around there there are all these educational institutions well flynn is too too to music too we forgot about that so talk a little bit about the flinders yeah so i mean the fluency of music has also the flint school of performing arts um coupled with the flint cultural center academy which is also on this campus the kids are learning um i mean two days a week they're learning violin or piano they're doing uh improv comedy which we didn't talk about that which is at uh the theater next door um so that's super exciting called the rap and it's a performing arts theater uh the flynn student music also has had the joffrey ballet it has summertime camps with the best of the best in singing and dance and all kinds of performing arts um have really we've really developed some amazing art artists and musicians and then around that you have this whole educational architecture for young kids preschool a k-12 uh you have a fantastic group of of higher education organizations from community colleges to four-year colleges to master and doctorate degrees basketball around that and as an architect as somebody who's in the creative elements do you feel like there is um a dialogue between the creative side and these various educational institutions that are educating the future leaders of this region of the united states yeah i mean i think simply by the the geographic closeness of uh kettering university the university of michigan-flint uh michigan state university all which have presence in campus right in downtown in fact michigan state's investing another 40 million in their public health uh school which is located right on the same campus as our flint farmer's market school of public health and college of human medicine fellows and residents go through a program which is located at the top it's the the hurley children's uh pediatric um office is on at the on the second floor of the flint farmers market building and so during the flint water crisis they were literally prescribing fruits and vegetables and dairy products that they knew mitigated lead so it was just a really wonderful collaborative and then that with nutrition is you know they're doing all kinds of cool cooking classes in collaboration with college campuses with businesses um elga credit unionism the cultural the cultural center academy which is which is a charter school yeah um and and they're giving classes here uh being taught by members of the flynn institute of arts faculty the premise of that academy curriculum is that they use the cultural center institutions for their art for anything steam related so they're doing their science and their technology in partnership with sloan they're doing their art here at the art institute they're doing their music like i said a couple of days a week the kids are learning aside from general music instruction they're all they're learning violin and piano lessons um it's really an amazing they're um when my kids were attending there they were doing improv comedy i mean things that were really just building character of of the individual is this the thing that made flint for you a special place that that caused you to make your home here yeah so let's talk a little bit about about flint is a home a flint is a place to invest a life in well i mean we always joke joke that you know if you really wanted to there's there's a literally dozens of things happening every single day your calendar could be totally full of there's there's not a lack of things to do here and specifically at the art institute i think our programming has really evolved over time to have been historically about my husband laughs and says about old brown paintings and the art institute has a lot of old brown paintings but wow i mean we have uh art series lectures we have a film series we have in the evenings things that raise money for animal causes and their cocktail parties we have a variety of different parties and celebrations throughout the year whether they're cultural or having to do with a particular opening or exhibition the exhibition that i walked through just now which is photographs of african-american men flint sons all from flint yeah and it starts off with this astounding gallery of just the faces suspended in a sea of of a black background they're just faces everybody is just the face and then the stories start to unfold could you talk a little bit about that exhibition yeah i mean the stories are what makes makes flint such an amazing place the people are the fabric of this community and so um that exhibition speaks volumes you you see the face and and in a room of faces if you don't know anything about any of those people you you might just chalk it up to a gallery of portraits or something but when you read the amazing stories of the individuals who are in the exhibition it's really it really talks about history and past and present and where we're going as a community and hope for the future i think that it's really remarkable and the artist creating those portraits is is just amazing when i look at them i feel like the portrait is speaking with me and then as i go into the next gallery where the the next portrait of that same person is in their street clothes or the clothes that they choose to be identifiers of themselves and then they then there are interviews and those interviews are recorded where they talk about their experience as black men yeah and the racism that they have experienced and how they've dealt with it their own lives right what they're doing is they're sharing with me a white guy who comes from outside of flint their story they're giving me a journey and that is just just amazing that is just an amazing accomplishment to have to have presented this and the artist is from flint yeah and i think that the the art institute does a really remarkable job of um like what i love about that particular this particular exhibition currently is that it's marrying film with portrait photography with the art of the individual and so it's storytelling it's it's photography and then the personality as well and it's as if they're really speaking to you and i think the art institute does a nice job of doing a lot of mixed media events as well um you know a sculpture but that looks like some something else or or that appears like a still life and the arctic fox sculpture was in these star wars movies the one where they're on the frozen moon and and so it was the inspiration for the characters in the movie and i just i i love that sort of blending of um mixed media right we're talking about change we're talking about these institutions promoting change in a region another cool part for me so we're i think the second largest or third largest art school in america affiliated with a museum in little old flint i love it i love telling people that and so another it's generationally changing even for the generation that is retired so we have some really incredible skilled trade welders and guess what we have like the most amazing welding studio and they come in and now they're no longer working to weld something in the shop but they're welding to make garden stakes really amazing sculptures um they're putting their creative use um and it's being facilitated by this institution which is so cool they're they're using a really particular skill um in a really artful and innovative way and i think that that's really cool a maker region yeah for sure the makers of the past helping to educate the makers of the future what a great great way to to cap the uh this discussion sean and easter white thank you so much for sharing your experience as a trustee of the flynn institute of arts and as a phrase of other organizations here thank you for sharing the wonderful wonderful experiences that you've had with flint my pleasure sharing is caring and i really i care deeply about this community |

be able to stream or shoot any video upload any videos for a full week i was basically in youtube prison and the video was the type 2 rta that had no links or anything in the description and the reason that this community guidelines strike is like a thing is because back in 2019 like towards the end of 2019 youtube was really cracking down on links in descriptions if you were a vape youtuber and you had a link in your description to buy a recoil to buy anything that's it strike and you're struck and once you get three strikes your channel is gone is gonzo and that's exactly what happened to dash vapes dash rapes had links all over his youtube dash vapes was the shop dave was the guy dave dash vapes dash vapes was the store they had a bunch of links they got their whole youtube taken down mike vapes is going through a similar situation right now although i know that he follows the rules and i know there can't possibly be any links to vendors or anything in his descriptions because i follow the rules as well and i haven't had links in my descriptions forever so when i got this strike i was confident that i could appeal it and get it taken away confident so on monday i made the decision well if i'm in youtube jail for a week let's go on twitch let's stream the vlog on twitch radical problem solved problem solved i appealed my youtube strike it ended up getting dropped off just uh tuesday and then i was able to upload a video on tuesday and i thought you know what we're still doing the stream on twitch instead of youtube i've committed to twitch already you know i've committed i've committed to twitch and so we're going to go with twitch and then i wake up this morning all pumped for the first twitchings all pumped for the first uh twitchings and the such as i'm getting ready setting stuff up pulling you know retro whatever liquids power goes out two hours before the stream is supposed to start power goes out so i instantly panic i instantly freak out i call a los angeles power company they're like yep the power's out probably won't be back on till like 5 30 6 o'clock so i think okay how do i still stream if i have no power i then spent the next two hours setting up this stream in my living room because there was still natural light and i was going to grab my phone and have a tripod and have lighting and grab all of my vape gear like my coffee table was covered in vape gear and i had my beer out there and i had lighting and a microphone and everything in my phone and i was getting ready to stream on youtube at 4 30 from my iphone that was going to be the plan i'm like no i'm streaming today this is going to be a thing dammit i was going to stream from my living room on my iphone with like my terrible little led panels i was gonna have like candles and try to get some ambient lighting in there that was the plan i was all set up ready to go all set up ready to go in my living room power came back on so i went okay pivot again pivot again grim green get all of this [ __ ] out of your living room put it all back in the office put this back in the office get all of your tripods get your beer get all your vapes and throw it back in the office and that's what you saw at the beginning was me scrambling get back in the office do the stream on twitch like you had originally planned when you were in youtube jail at the beginning of this week so that's the story that's the story of this week and that's why we're here right now and we almost ended up back on youtube from my phone and i think look and i wasn't like upset about that i was kind of like i'm cool with that i would have been cool with streaming uh streaming from my uh living room so i don't have a super chat bumper or i have a i don't have a mega chat bumper but uh kex berlin mega chatted appreciate that take my money and get yourself some german beer listen kex i like german beer as much as the next guy i love a good brow you know i love it i'll go get some uh i'll

sure that i can go back and see them but look screenshotting them seems to be uh working for me at least right now you know when i first started streaming oh thank you dabrewski when i first started streaming on youtube i had no idea like i was trying to screenshot my phone to create the timestamps i would start my timer at the beginning of the vlog and when i started a new segment i just take a screenshot and that was the time stamp for this and that was the time stamp for that and that's how i was like trying to keep track of time stamps craster image what this do that gave me a dollar and

video then grimm's profile will come up click on nick's avatar picture then go to the about section oh good lord twitch is complicated you know on youtube all you have to do is press the all you have to do is press the super chat button so the kirsch that's right ranger rusty that's right the kirsch i apologize the curse is the curse can be really really good i have a curse that hasn't been getting a lot of use i'm sorry it's pronounced kirch with a hard ch kerch i got a kirch right now it doesn't get a ton of use but when i do use it i really really do enjoy it it's a little bit wonky to build on and you have to be careful like i had to be careful with that center post but if you can get a little build in there it's a nice little banger it is real real real easy to wick it and it does vape real nice it's a very restricted that's what i would say it's a very restricted [Laughter] yeah slightly buzzed the the replays will be on youtube replays will be on youtube so the kirch flavor's banging there's some jubbies in there where you are derek jebby's 20 24. oh see there you go that's easier to read that's much easier to read but andy dwyer is so much smaller and it's just so much less entertaining i appreciate that duchess before we get to that duchess super chat mega chatted let's review a band and i don't have a bumper for this but this is kind of going to replace for this week the uh that one favorite thing there's still an assignment america out there and i'm looking for videos of your favorite setups i just want to see them i want to see a video pictures are

gonna put it out there you know that that that takes a lot of balls it takes a lot of balls to do that with that said i think turkey terra i see a lot of potential in turkey terror i notice uh as soon as we got to that chorus look mr turkey terror isn't the strongest singer like vocally you can tell he's not like the strongest singer he's trying pretty hard but it sounds a little bit off sometimes you know on that chorus you're like [ __ ] [Music] it's like kind of a chorusy effect i liked it that it wasn't you remember opposite the shipwreck i like that it wasn't just uh one solid tempo like opposite the shipwreck was he he mixed it up a lot there was some you know some skank and ska beats there at the beginning you know it's like southern california got a little bit punky look this is leaps and bounds better than any of the early music that i ever recorded so that counts for something turkey tear that sounds that counts for something turkey terror so if you're into it go find a turkey tear out there out there on the interwebs i'm sure maybe they're on spotify you want to check and see if they're on spotify turkey turkey terror uh it's on spotify there you go this whole ep is

right i'm gonna start using that instantly i'm gonna start using that today nord pro nord pro we got a package here from uh steven stephen stephen p.a uh tribal buddha steven stefan steve i'm just waiting for the one day when someone's like hey can i get your address i'm like yeah and they send me just a giant box of just packing peanuts kind of half expecting this in here what what what what what is this i knew it i knew it tribal buddha i knew it yo nick he says i have taken it upon myself to start a cool kid's line of juice the inspiration has been the nonsensical topics and conversations we get into on the ig streams hopefully the sheer insanity of this will brighten your day and bring a smile and chuckle to you the first juice we have is the soon to be famous lube darm lubriderm vape lubrider moisturize your lungs fig bread pudding the second one is the already infamous preparation h this is an iced lychee you get smacked with lychee fruit up front and intense cooling on the back end on the back end that's comedy that's co that's funny the third juice is the one i promised a while ago barbed berry pie strawberry rhubarb pie enjoy holy crap steve steve tribal buddha thank you uh so much i like look you i'm a sentimental son of a [ __ ] barbed berry pie wow blue buddha what do we got here preparation h lubriderm i can't believe i have a liquid bottle now that says lubed our lubricant vape it vape lubridor moisturizer lugs moisturize your throat with lubricated vipe [Laughter] luba derm tribal buddha [ __ ] a steve thanks steve but wait there's more but wait there's more and let's see i'm assuming after this i'll probably do a little bit of news and then after that you guys i need help i need help with e-liquids oh i don't know what i saw i saw nothing i saw the edge of something round and i was like oh what's that what could that be in there feels good on the hole oh tauren oh [ __ ] tauren i got some torrent i got some hot tauren action i'm not sure what's on here thunderhead creations sorry thunderhead creations thunderhead creations these can't uh max rota okay let's see what's in here from thunderhead creations the first thing i saw was just air flows so i'm assuming that these airflows need to go somewhere i'm going to venture a guess that one of these is a topper and one of these could be a mod i'm glad they tie them like this and looks like an rdta actually that might not be an rdta i was just guessing thunderheads elite holy [ __ ] it is an rdta so this is the elite rdta is that an rdta it's a mouth to lung rta okay it seems to be to do restricted direct lung or all the way down to a mouth to lung i wish i knew how the airflow was working in there because oh i see i see it's one of those graduated air flows wow i wonder if that's actually going to be good for mouth to lung though because it's not closing your airflow down under your coil it's closing the airflow down on the outside of the rta just as a mouth to lung vapor for so long i know that that's not ideal that ain't ideal all right well there's two of these rtas here i think you know what i'm gonna have to end up opening all of these separately because i have a feeling each one is gonna be a slightly different thing uh it's also super helpful that none of the bags are labeled in any way as to what's inside all right oh this is something else okay this is something else this is the tauren max rdta rdta there's an actual rdta rdta too much rip trippers all right actual rdta look at that little reservoir down there look at that what is this deck look at this deck what is that what are those look at that deck maybe i'm just out of the loop with tauren's stuff but that deck looks bonkers i'm assuming you put a coil in this way and a coil in that way like they just your coils are leads will be facing up then it sits down in a little cradle and then you have four holes that go down into that little tiny tiny tiny tiny little reservoir dang all right look i'm uh i've i've never like loved loved in rdta but that doesn't mean that i may not love this because i told snowcap mods the same thing i said oh i've never really loved squonker and now it's going to be my [ __ ] setup of the year so who knows you know what i could be completely blown away blown away by an rdta it's the why rdta okay this one just says gun it's in a completely different packaging than everything else that's fine oh this is the same rta all right this is the same rta in a completely different packaging well if at least they're nothing else they're consistent i guess different packaging for every product i'm assuming that these air flows are for that rta and if that's the case then that's much better because this is an actual one millimeter 0.8 li 0.8 not the real gerard butler 0.8 0.8 miles to long and then wait there's one more thing in here there could theoretically be five different products here and i've only opened a few of them because again nothing's labeled uh this looks to be the same thing that i just opened in stainless okay so i have two black ones maybe two stainless ones and an rdta interesting interesting little how do you say it smorgasbord smorgasbord of vape stuff from tauren it's honestly nice to see some torn stuff again i haven't i haven't got to review anything of theirs in a while i think uh tribal buddha we might have to make a very special exemption and vape this lubiderm tonight we might have to vape the lubriderm in addition to the super goods we might have to vape the luba derm might have to vape the lubriderm so there was okay i want to make sure right now that i didn't miss any super chats have i missed some chats you guys would tell me right sue rug was the last one to super to mega chat sorry mega chat heard it through the sewer line what was wrong to [Music] yeah there doesn't seem to be a way to go back and see these chats flits on you let's see there's legion i see you there legion vapes what's up brother what's up jake scrap wood nope all i can do is reply to you first time chat from viewer frank gundry i was wondering where the vlog was this is crazy everything good nick listen we're we're as good as we can be today we are on twitch and we are uh enjoying literally every second of it i like the boxer v2 rdta i did i really like that one a lot that was a really good rdta but that was you know that's kind of like a i don't know billet box i don't know if i would consider that i guess it is still technically an rdta isn't it it's still technically an rdta all right well if i didn't actually miss any mega chats then that's spectacular because i would just like to throw a little bit of news and advocacy at you news and advocacy yeah here so again look this week there's two things that i really care about and that is this and that is this the bottom qr code which i'll have linked to in the description i believe adi tuni is putting the link in the chat as we go here this is for the the nicotine tax this is for the nicotine tax there are people that currently want this nicotine tax gone people in congress are actively wanting to help us there are there are three people if you're in new mexico or if you're in arizona nevada or west virginia contact your senators immediately because they're they're kind of already on board with hating this nicotine tax this nicotine tax is horrible it's regressive i feel like i'm beating a dead horse into the ground now it will only raise prices on nicotine for vaping it does not raise the price of cigarettes it does not raise the price of combusted tobacco this only raises the price of safer nicotine products and that is [ __ ] bananas that in the united states listen to this you want some rage sweat new wave dave in the united states the food and drug administration has said appropriate for the protection of public health the views so low vaping product is appropriate for the protection of public health based on our obscenely rigorous standards the fda has already said that vaping is appropriate for the protection of public health it's out there so now that we have this known appropriate for the protection of public health how on earth do we still have politicians pushing for nicotine bands to make vaping more expensive than smoking what's what sense does that make does that make any sense in any capacity any capacity at all that's like buying a car and then oh but if you want seat belts that is you're going to get taxed more if you want to drive safely i've used that analogy before but it still works oh you want to drive your car okay you can drive your car oh wait wait you want to do it in a reduced harm manner what you want airbags okay that's going to cost you that's you're going to be taxed harder if you have airbags you'd be taxed less if you drove a motorcycle with no helmet then you'll pay no taxes but if you want to drive safely in a car with airbags and a seat belt taxes we're going to tax the [ __ ] out of it we're going to make vaping more expensive than smoking we're going to de-incentivize what fda has already said is appropriate for the protection of public health we're going to de-incentivize what the united kingdom is prescribing already to the smokers in their country incredible welcome to america where [ __ ] nothing makes sense so please do this cassaw call to action that's all i care about that's literally all i care about is this casa call to action fight this tax this tax where's my gandalf staff this tax shall not pass it cannot pass can not pass goodbye diy goodbye every vendor goodbye vaping goodbye everything this this cannot pass tribal but uh there's a new new juice ready to drop it's named the youtube jail drink it's black cherry lime cola cherry lime cola sounds amazing that sounds amazing tribal buddha i like cherry colas the youtube prison it's a terrible place to be it's a terrible place to be because i felt instantly like cut off from everybody i was like oh no i can't communicate with any of my subscribers right now if they follow me on twitter they'll see this if they're friends with me on facebook they'll see this if they're on instagram they'll see this but there was no way for me to go hey youtube they messed me up and i can't talk to you guys powerbomb the nicotine tax power bomb it into the ground um coming up next week if i want to throw this in the news and advocacy as well coming up next week uh charles gardner charles gardner phd is going to be joining me on uh tbn yeah we're going to talk about mike bloomberg the world health organization we're going to talk about how exponentially different the united kingdom and the united states are treating less harmful vapor products we're going to talk about the tides changing uh should be really really fun in fact let me tease you with a oh no never mind i thought i had a thumbnail oh there i do next week charles gardner's back draw rolls char rolls tuesday tuesday tuesday tuesday uh we're going to be chatting and uh should be uh real good times and the week after colin mendelson's joining us on tbn there's just a just a whole slew of guests for the tbn show it's gonna be good other than that other than this there's not much i care about this is the e-cig intelligence consumer survey if you really wanted to do me a favor you would fill out this survey if you're a vape consumer this goes for literally anybody in the chat can do this it's a little involved it's going to take you some time it's going to you're going to go okay i'm gonna do this it's gonna take about 15 minutes it's it's information it's everything about your buying habits your vaping habits how you use your vape nicotine strengths this is a this is done every year and it's always incredible incredible information credible information so please do that please do both of these please do both of those and that's really all i care about this week i want to give a shout out to um this fella matt felderman posted this in the grim army fear-mongering click bait with a new twist that's right so there was a headline that's been circulating around the news cycle recently where the sheriff in this town said that he was exposed to fentanyl through a vape pen that's the headline students vape pen had fentanyl in it tennessee sheriff says three school workers were exposed so a that's not how fentanyl works and two you can't put fentanyl in a vape pen that's not a possibility that you just can't it's not a thing that is physically possible to do and then and two that's not how fentanyl works and then you'll notice in the actual article if you disregard the headline the share the school resource officer who wasn't exposed to fentanyl said the opioid was not contained in the vape pen cartridge so the sheriff said there was fentanyl in a vape pen which there wasn't and then a representative from the school the school resource officer said no no there was no fentanyl or opioids in a vape pen okay so now that's out there in the public narrative now the goddamn karens who think that vaping is worse than smoking for you now they have another thing in their hat to go well now you can put fentanyl in it you can't you can't and that is misleading and it's just wrong and bad and you can tell anybody posting that read the article read the article because all you have to do is read the article where it says it was not contained in the vape cartridge fentanyl and opioid was not in the vape pen cartridge you know how i know that because it's not possible it's not possible it's weird i was driving my car and it was acting weird and i looked in my gas tank was full of bullets somehow i was driving with bullets no you weren't that's not possible that sounds [ __ ] ridiculous to a rational person oh my god okay so apart from that i had one last thing to say this is my new enemy i've had a lot of enemies stanton glance scott gottlieb gerald harmon gerald harmon is the president of the american medical association president of the american medical association and he made a blog post recently as president of the american medical association saying that the decision of the food and drug administration to allow an e-cigarette on the market was a terrible idea he said it was the wrong choice harm reduction is the wrong choice gerald e harman md president of the american medical association is just a science denier i couldn't believe what i was reading i felt like i was an alt in an alternate universe where this was like satire but it's not it's not he says that by the fda acknowledging this it's just going to cause more people to smoke cigarettes he says that the cdc estimates that there's more than two million youths still vaping i mean i'm not going to say that he's wrong but that's after a year over year 60 drop in youth vaping sure wasn't it listen wasn't it kenneth warner uh dean emeritus the university of michigan school of public health it's no big deal who said that if we keep focusing on preventing youth vaping that we're gonna stop adults from transitioning away from combustible tobacco cigarettes this guy doesn't even believe that science so i have a little bit of a vendetta now with gerald e harman science denier president of the american medical association science denier denies the science that fda has said that these are appropriate for the protection of public health tom sharrow says he looks like frodo baggins here's the thing i'm not sure i'm trying really really difficult to not make fun of his appearance because that is not a real legitimate argument to have and it just kind of makes me look dumb he honestly looks like one of the nicest guys ever on earth he looks like a guy that would just offer you butterscotch candies and might know how to like fix your timing belt you know it looks like he'd be wearing overalls and he just come out going something wrong with your timing belt we can get that taken care of right now no no charge of course here take these butterscotch candies with you have a great day he seems like that guy when i look at him i'm like i like you i want to be friends with you why are you a science denier how can you pos how can how can the president of the american medical association go oh fda is wrong for following the science and approving a less harmful alternative to cigarettes that is are already all over you know multitude of other countries we have the lowest youth vaping and smoking and adult smoking levels in the history of recorded time in america but gerald thinks that the fda was wrong to approve an e-cig gerald is a science denier and that upsets me it upsets me that the president of the american medical association is a science denier so doesn't matter vaping didn't help me it didn't help you it didn't help anybody you're all just fooling yourselves that you're quit smoking for this long i know it's been almost 13 years for me but we don't really know if this is an effective alternative to cigarettes there's no evidence except for all of us that vaping works in any capacity unbelievable i haven't had a cigarette in 13 years [Music] so look that's it i hit that i hit that a little too a little too aggressively and i tried to talk through my vapor which is never a good thing sorry just wanted to have a you know taste right there okay so there's two things that i want to happen right now i don't think there were any more mega chats have i been missing them or has nobody been sending them like i'm not trying to say what the hell happened to the mega chats i'm just saying i'm living in terror of missing them and i don't want to miss them or maybe it's that i've missed too many and billy's like no i'm not i was going to send a mega chat but now i'm not because i know that nick won't read it so there you go there is one last last vape mail package that we are going to open right [Music] shirts off in the pit shirts off in the pit i don't know why i always say that it's because i went when i saw there was a hardcore band i saw one time and uh they played an indoor like an indoor it was like a barn you know like one of those venues where it's like dirt on the floor and it's just hot and it's like a barn and it's not sealed on the bottom there's like air coming in through the bottom you know it was like that type of venue and it was just really hot in there so at first they had everybody spitting on the ground to keep the dust down which is disgusting and then through one of the songs the singer started shouting shirts off in the pit shirts off in the pit and so everybody all these hot and sweaty dudes just started taking all their shirts off look hardcore shows are weird man i have to give a huge shout out to the reluctant pancakes pss pam i owe you so tremendously i could never repay you for this she was critical critical in getting this across the finish line as all of you will be critical critical in getting these across the finish line and what i'm talking about oh wait i got a little note from pam maybe this is about to make my day ah thank you pam pam always sends me when she signs her name pam the p is a big smiley face and you just can't not smile when you get when you get the note from pam i'm so excited for this so i guess this some of the beans have been spilled some of the beans have been spilled there sexy king phil i am actively oh thank you scotty h appreciate that i am actively actively actively actively actively working on a liquid line for the uk i'd like to take more credit for this than i can because all of the credit really needs to go to the flavor wizardry people at super good in the united kingdom now this is going to sound like a sales pitch and it kind of is but it also kind of isn't i've vaped a lot of liquids loads gallons of liquids i am continuously impressed with super good and their line and even the ones that i don't like from super good are still good like i think this flavor is amazing i just don't want to vape it this flavor is amazing i just don't want to vape it i love super good liquids and when the idea came into my head that i wanted to do a uk e-liquid line not you know to celebrate the united kingdom there was no one else i wanted to do it with other than super good there was no one else i wanted to do it with other than super good so these are the final super grim come on super grim these are the the final super grim flavors i need to add nicotine to them which i have i'm going to end up you know obviously tasting all of these but for now oh this is gonna be too difficult oh my god this is gonna be too difficult i don't know how i'm gonna narrow this down okay so [Music] that one oh man this is too difficult this is too difficult this is way too difficult so uh let's pick i'm gonna pick three of these and you guys are gonna decide which one i try first i can't wait i'm so excited oh my god i'm so excited so in fact we're going to do two liquid tastings because not only do i want to try the very first super grim flavor i also want to try luba derm i desperately want to try luba derm a little bit of vapor plugs so um i have no way to do a pole in this uh stream do i just realize that let me let me text my tech support

accurate this is this is these are like the final versions these are like the final final versions of these liquids final final versions there were some tweaks and look there's like one two three four five six seven eight nine liquids here that i'm gonna hopefully narrow down to like four or five for like the final final release um short fills so these require nicotine i'm just gonna put uh you know make this a three milligram so you know the uk the uk even has short fills like dang mix your mix your liquid at home we we support vaping but we're gonna make laws so that you have to mix your liquid at home oh okay does that make sense for the consumer i don't know this is this is a this was a diff rhubarb orange strawberry custard uh speculos so cookie butter so there's a good chance this could be a rhubarb a rhubarb orange custard strawberry cookie butter and i don't know if it if if man i don't know if there's anything better than that i want to eat that as a dessert like i would like to eat that right now cookie butter rhubarb orange strawberry custard are you kidding me are you kidding me well what we're going to be tasting this out of is a tm 24 pro series with a crystal

well i'm still not confident with this i'm going to shake this just a little bit more just a hair more just a few more seconds these aren't the god coils but i've vaped the god coils since the god coil vlog they're still god coils i mean i call them the god coil i actually think i actually think like kent's staggertons are uh a better vape than the god coil the god coil just takes the god coil

vape this for a second then we'll talk about it okay i don't even need a bio break that's how good i am right now [Music] hydration that was hydration that's what needed to happen right there was hydration um this orange kind of rules okay the the orange on the rhubarb on the strawberry gives me like a very satisfying level of throatiness even with a lung like throatiness is something i'm looking forward to in a mouth to lung for sure but there hasn't been a liquid since like good god the old gaslight vapor uh lane cove my e used to it was my all-day vape for like well over a year but it gave me that similar throat hitti i think it's coming from the citrus i think it's coming from the orange it's upfront sweet it goes almost in order on this label of how you taste this liquid i get rhubarb and orange right out of the gate you get like custard strawberry it's almost like cheesecakey exhale the cookie butter kind of adds to the like the crustiness of it it's like a i don't even know how i would what i would label this as rhubarb orange custard strawberry it's so good it's like a rubery rhubarb orange strawberry cheesecake that's the best way that i can describe it holy crap see now we need to think of a name at it we need to think of a name for it okay this is good uh it wasn't i wasn't expecting anything less but rhubarb orange custard strawberry cookie butter is kind of amazing right now i get strong like the strong cookie butter on the exhale and just so much orange and rhubarb up front yeah crustiness crustiness oh glue back bills here i said bidet i said bidet sir could be from the next shot i'm i'm using this nicotine nick nick i believe this is a uk product nick nick that's what i'm using it's a 70 vg uh salt nick salt nick nick that throat actually that's a really good point that's a really excellent point that could be coming from the nick money that throat could be coming from the nick dude well i'm vaping this all weekend i'm vaping this all weekend for damn sure okay that's kick ass let's kick ass level 8000 let's kick ass level 9000 even super grim i am uh really looking forward to this super grim with super good has been in the works almost since vapor expo uk 2019 almost since then i went to the vapor expo uk 2019 with the express intentions of a liquid line i wanted to do a uk short fill kick-ass liquid line and i talked to a multitude of liquid vendors and i met i met him there i met super good i met the guys from super good at that show and we sort of exchanged information fast forward two years and i think i have the last final samples of super grim i think i got him i think i got him i'm gonna let this steep i'm gonna let it steep as i vape it though you know i don't think steeping's overhyped i think people are convinced that steeping is overhyped but it's not steeping is a real thing and i'm going to use this as an example um my patron sifu mustache makes an excellent liquid called the poor kids of discord and i love it when i first got it from him it was perfectly perfectly clear i got a little bit of strawberry from it but it overall felt you know a little bit rounded and very very clear that was in houston what was that two months ago it's steeped up into a nice golden color and now all of the flavors are coming through like much more pronounced the strawberry is crispy the champagne is crispy i believe in steeping steeping is absolutely a thing don't let people tell you steeping isn't a thing steeping is a thing especially with traditional nick it's not as much of a thing with with salts as it is with traditional nick anyway anyway now where is it let's get out let's do the next let's do the last liquid tasting here let's get out an aegis uh aegis legend 2 we'll put an asgard mini on top

me tell you that that is not going to be an easy task your best bet honestly is probably the black market your second best bet might be a reservation i know on reservation land uh there's something in new york state let me google real quick uh vape shops have opened up on reservation land in new york yeah native american reservations are a haven for new york vape shops this is an old article from filtermag but uh i'll read the whole thing to you right now around thanksgiving 2019 two months after governor andrew cuomo signed an executive order that banned the sales of flavored vaping products in new york tobi sylvia thought he'd give the vape business another shot fluid vapor has opened up a bunch of shops with native americans on native american reservations in new york state that's an option that is an option for you lots of vape shops can i say the word titties will twitch kick me off listen i was on here the other night and i was watching amaranth walk around in a bra licking a ear doing asmr and i thought well if she can do that i can go on you i can go on twitch and talk about vaping okay i'm gonna i'm gonna spend a little bit of time with this liquid and i will be right [Music] that was some pretty good damn perfect timing there with the song ending like that and everything now here's what i'm going to say about this uh tribal buddha you could have told me that lubriderm was uh like a smooth tobacco or like a mild tobacco and i would have been like this is the best mild tobacco i've ever had in my life this vapes like a sweet good tobacco fig is a weird flavor to begin with fig and bread pudding the bread pudding does give me like a little bit of a bakery kind of backbone on this liquid but man tobacco this vapes like a tobacco tribal buddha i don't know if you intended it to vape like a fishy fishy and with the mega chat the app the mobile app absolutely blows but i finally made it to the vlog party i'm sorry fishy i'm so sorry i'm sorry that the mobile app blows i'm sorry look it's my intention to stream on uh multiple platforms fishy so the vlog's going back to youtube next week and in the coming weeks it's going to be youtube and twitch it's going to be it's going to be a double double jammer i'm happy you're here fishy don't worry we'll hang out later now back to the tobacco fig you could call this smooth ass tobacco and i would go this is a smooth ass tobacco it vapes like a tobacco it feels like a tobacco it's smooth it's sweet it's got this like slight bakery backbone but it has this like ambiguous to fig tobacco flavor really like it i really like this a lot and it i like it because it vapes like a tobacco this is a tobacco tribal buddha i will not accept this as a fig pudding as a fig bread pudding [Laughter] this is pure pure tobacco pure tobacco that is delicious that is a delicious liquid tribal buddha yes very tasty yes like a tobacco [Music] it's really good tribal buddha if you said this was a fig bread pudding i go i could see that but if you told me this was a tobacco i go [ __ ] yeah that's a banging tobacco lubrider vapor legs moisturizer lugs will you vape lubridor all right you guys uh let's

get mixed with met with really weird reactions like really gwar your favorite man won't swim like i really got into guar guar was like my metallica i loved gwar beyond reason and it's funny i got into a conversation the other night with my wife casey pickle as we do sometimes and uh you know we're just sitting around talking we were talking about music and we were talking about this idea that there's uh oh there there'll be some jon stewart barbara this is coming up this is coming up bombs away dream babies is coming up but gwar i love guar big fan of guar i have them tattooed on me i have odorous visage tattooed on me i have balzac the jaws of death he's tattooed on me i really like this band and i got to you know like i was saying my wife and i were having a conversation about music not too long ago yes rest in peace odorous rest in power you scumdog were talking about you know who are those like artists in your life that like have been there your whole life that you've just loved your whole life and you know you names start coming up like bruce springsteen you know people just got into bruce springsteen and just love bruce springsteen and it's like this this epic you know person in their life this like legacy musician or and you know casey it's with casey it's with barry manilow it's like she got into barry manilow and barry manilow's just like this legendary prolific musician just respected the world over and and things like this and i'm and i'm thinking [ __ ] i don't really have any like that i don't have i don't have that and that's sad because it was kurt cobain until he killed himself and then it was odorous urungus until he died of a heroin overdose and that was just made me really sad that i don't have that like long lifetime love of one artist who's like this legendary prolific artist that you just love and respect into the ground because it was going to be dave brocky from gwar odorous jurungus he was my barry manilow like he was my bruce springsteen and he died of a heroin overdose and that's sad and it was going to be you know i i i was a freshman in high school when smells like teen spirit came out i loved kurt cobain i loved nirvana all my like prolific lifetime achievement award-winning musicians are dead and that is sad i mean that is really very sad bruce oh bruce springsteen doesn't suck come on i mean kiss is one of those bands but it's like i love kiss but it's not on that level of like people that love bruce springsteen or people that love barry manilow or people that love certain artists like i love kiss you know ozzy osbourne could have been that musician for me as well but i wasn't like crazy into him like crazy obsessed with him i was that way with gwar i loved dave brocky i loved odorous i listened to all of his music all of his bands i read his blog i was like fascinated by his personal life he was just a musical artist that i was like you're my guy you're my legacy artist and i want to be listening to dave brocky songs when i'm like 80 years old that's just not going to happen but i will be listening to dave brocky songs when i'm 80 years old because of this right here now this is gwar's lust in space album this is a particularly banging album there's some really good songs on this album and if you notice the cover of this album there's any kiss fans in the house kiss fans in the house this is kind of a gwar's play on slash homage to the love gun cover kiss released an album love gun let's see if can i get it up here get it up here real quick doo doo brown i appreciate that doo doo brown let's see kiss love gun [Music] jam bin kiss love gun looked like this and gwar's lust in space looks like this standing between the pillars with the women and you know and they're the band and they're standing triumphantly this was the kind of their homage to kiss uh the kiss love gun album and i and i very much appreciate that of course when you flip it to the back you see that all the women of course are horribly disfigured disgusting sort of cronenberg monsters on the back as you do as guard does you know asgoire does i've been trying to get all of my favorite guar albums on vinyl i saw this one for sale wasn't about to sleep on it because because a it's guar lust in space this album is really sentimental to me because this was the last time i saw dave on tour with gwar and it was an incredible show incredible i was smoking cigarettes at the time this was pre-quit vapings no no i was not smoking cigarettes at the time this album came out in 2009 and i went saguar in 2009 so that means i was vaping the last time i saw dave play with gwar come on clear pink and purple spatter vinyl i wasn't gonna sleep on this i love this band i love this album i love their aesthetic i love everything about gwar and i know i've talked about why i like guar so much well one of the reasons that i love gwar and i loved odorous so much i loved dave brocky so much was he just had like they had this artistic vision and they're kind of like [ __ ] you we're gonna do this and i love that and i love that they didn't ever waver from that they're like no we're intergalactic space aliens and we're here to enslave and destroy humanity that's our shtick and we're sticking with it and they are still intergalactic aliens who are here to enslave and destroy humanity and all of their songs are horribly offensive you know and that's just the way it is because if you if you were listening to a band that was actually made up of intergalactic alien warlords then their lyrics would probably be pretty offensive to you since you're the race that they're trying to you know destroy and enslave all of humanity they had an artistic vision and they just executed it unapologetically and i love it i love it it doesn't matter how many people they pissed off it doesn't matter how many people they offended they went on the joan rivers show you know they go on the jerry springer show i love that i love uh i love an artistic vision you know and it upsets me that stupid dave brocky was dabbling with some with some heroin sad i was i cried i sobbed greatly when dave brocky died it felt like my buddy had died you know it felt like my friend had died and that's why i love gwar and i'll always love guar and so let's put uh the second song the second track off this uh let us slay is a great song great album great great great song great video because gwar sometimes changed their costumes and it's all part of the guar mythology it's all part of the guar mythos like for a few albums uh balzac the jaws of death had like a triceratops head on his thing and that was like worked into the story of why his costume changed and dave odorous eurongas he had gone through a few costume changes but usually the costume changes were live it's kind of like how ghost now does you know papa emeritus the ghost uh singer he's been a bunch of different like incarnations of himself according to the ghost storyline like he's gone from old to young long hair short hair he's like it's part of the mythology of the band you know all these things used to happen at live shows so dave would change his costume live show and it would be part of the story but for the fan who's just sitting at home buying the cds i don't get to see the you know the costume changes or why the story changed to dave's costume and in the lettuce slay video there's a whole little scene where he pulls off the top of his head and exposes some more horns in the back and you can see in his exposed brain and i was like whoa you got to see a dave brocky like odorous huronga's costume change on a video that's just really [ __ ] cool and then when i saw them live he had the new updated mask with the new horns and the brain exposed and i just thought that was really really cool really really cool so let us slay here's the thing everybody wants me to put metal metal land on here because that was the song that was on the radio flits on you metal metal land the problem is i don't really like the song metal metal land so we're gonna put lords and masters on here let us slay and lords and masters are two bangers on this album bangers on this album this wasn't the last album with dave brocky odorous urungus but this was the last tour that i got to see and this was the year i started vaping so i heavily associate this album what the [ __ ] was that this album and that song let us slay with like with vaping i've played this album in my early days of vaping when it was like you had 15 ego you know clearomizers all lined up or like five atomizers all lined up and you're used to take hot water through a syringe and like pump it through these atomizers to like clean them out and this was like a weekly process of doing this gwar i was listening to guar i was listening to lust in space and uh i just really really really really like it i had them tattooed on me guar is uh gwar is an acquired taste and if you're not into intergalactic warlords who want to you know enslave and destroy humanity and they sing about terrible things it's an acquired taste so i don't think anybody everybody's gonna be into it but i'll tell you there wouldn't be i wouldn't be the person that i am without without gwar in my life like the the creativity and like i said the artistic vision of guar was very very inspiring to me and uh i still i still hold uh dave brocky as one of my like heroes you know despite his overdose he's still one of my heroes for many other for many other other reasons many other reasons and now look and now i'm a guar fan that doesn't care about guar anymore don't care about blowthar i'm glad they're still going but i have no real no real interest in seeing guar or listening to the new records gwar was odorous to me and i get it like black sabbath was aussie to a lot of people and when ronnie james dio started singing for black sabbath people like it's not the same black sabbath you know black sabbath to me was ozzy osbourne or van halen i don't like van hagar van halen to me was david lee roth and only david lee roth i understand that now because to me guar was odorous urungus and only odorous urungus with without odorus the rest of the band is kind of like i don't care as much you know but that's just me listen i'm not going to tell you how to live your life that's just me let's finish up this beer [Music] it was a terrible idea there was literally almost beer snot all over my computer all over my camera all over my vape stuff what did i ever do to you beer nothing except enjoyed you and consumed you deliciously what was that all about you jerk all right you guys uh oh look at that i guess we're down to the end of the stream here uh i guess we're down to the end of the stream i i want to remind you guys of a few things these calls to action and the e-cig intelligence survey that's literally all i care about i'm not gonna throw a thousand news and advocacy things at you because this is all the focus needs to be right now this here can i get it better boop boop cassaw call to action please do it please get everyone you can to do it please get everybody in the world to do it look the dawn i agree with you where's the dawn i agree with you sami hagar was awesome oh thank you daryl uh i agree with you i like van hagar i like van hagar a lot in fact i got into van halen when it was van hagar i didn't know when i first heard van halen that david lee roth used to be the singer that's actually not true i heard 1984. okay i like van hagar i like van hagar as much as i like van halen with david lee roth i like sabbath with ronnie james dio a little bit more than i like sabbath with ozzy osbourne then i definitely love gwar with odorous urungus only don't care about blowthar glad he's there glad he was whatever his storyline is glad he was awakened from the arctic ice with a p boner i think that's what i think that's what his storyline was um and then corey smoot when corey smoot died in gore that was a that was a horribly sad thing he's one of the reasons i really love that band too his metal riffing made gwar awesome again after they released the worst album in the history of albums which is we kill everything terrible terrible album and then they got corey smoot on guitar and it's like oh we're a metal band again and i was like [ __ ] yeah and i got so back on board with guar when they died when when corey smoot died that was sad sad right okay thank you the don i loved love love ronnie james dio sabbath era like it to me that was an upgrade when dio started singing for sabbath i was like boom upgrade that is a huge upgrade what are you kidding me i'm doing good daryl doing good i think we're gonna wrap this up i think we're there i think we're there i'm gonna really really really try to let's see oh that's right oh we did sing birthdays randy randy it was your birthday or it's gonna be your birthday oh it's gonna be your birthday um i wanted to give a shout out to two subscribers um mike burr mike burr are you here tonight mike bruh and blueflash 717. they had a little

plan my overall plan that i would like to happen here i'm going to put this link in the chat can i do that does this count can i do it here yeah that's the one about the the native american new york vape shops for the fella that was asking about uh getting vape stuff in uh in new york in new york uh knife fighter okay that's right i got knife fighter oh we got uh sabon uh i would recommend listening to greta van fleet oh oh i'm hip i have loved them since they started back in 2012 highly recommended yeah uh yes greta van fleet i don't listen to a lot of greta van fleet but i'm familiar with them you know i know who they are it's like uh you know there's just some bands can't really think of an example right now i can't really think of an example right now finn lizzie i guess would be an example it's like i know a few thin lizzy songs but i'm not a big thin lizzy fan but i appreciate thin lizzy and and what they've done for rock and roll and i and i i can see the fandom of finn lizzy and go yeah like these guys are obviously a good band they have a huge fan base greta van fleet is one of those like i'm familiar with them i just i don't i couldn't sing a greta van fleet song you know and it's something i've been trying to do it's something i've been trying to do is go like bob dylan bob dylan right legendary musician legendary musical artist i don't really know much bob dylan and so i've been trying to go and just listen to a bunch of bob dylan lately like see what the fuss is all about why does why do people why do legions of people love bob dylan oh it's because bob dylan's really really talented and writes really tremendously good songs you know so i've been trying to get into some of those like legendary artists it's like i grew up with the doors and the who and led zeppelin and my dad was a big classic rock guy and like we'll talk about jon stewart a little bit later on and you know he's like a folk rock guy but i've been trying to go back and listen to like bob dylan you know greta van fleet we're throwing greta van fleet in there a fleetwood mac like fleetwood mac is one of those legendary bands fleetwood mac we're going to talk a little bit about fleetwood mac next week just uh you know yeah the boys are back in town it's like yeah i know that song i know maybe like two other finn lizzy songs but it's like when you talk to any rock guitarist or musician it's like oh thin lizzy then lizzy you know legend legendary thin lizzy you know just never got into him deep purple yeah i'm a big deep purple fan yeah i know and you know i see that's important earn i like that you said that that's that i appreciate that what did you say bob dylan legendary artist horrible in concert live now that he's ancient yeah here's the thing i i think that's important you know i think the aging uh a a musician singer is a very very important part of their career i don't like it when bands stop playing at the peak of their career i want no no keep going be bad i want like remember frank sinatra performing into his 80s up in lake tahoe and he just sounded not great he sounded not great you kind of go oh frank that doesn't sound great but it's still frank [ __ ] sinatra you know and hearing frank sinatra later in life sound not great is important that really puts how great he used to sound into perspective it makes how great he used to sound all that much more impressive you know i think that's important i think it's important if you hear bob dylan now and you go oh bob it doesn't sound so great but you go back and listen to bob dylan you go wow that really like it really makes you appreciate how great he used to sound i think it's good perspective i think it's good perspective for a band that's why i'm going to keep doing grim grain until i'm dead i think it's important yeah johnny cash yeah same thing with johnny cash you know at the end of his life johnny cash did not sound great let's see let's be real honest johnny cash was never a great singer okay [Laughter] he didn't have tremendous vocal range right you know johnny cash kind of always talked through his songs and that is genius and even at the end of his life johnny cash wasn't sounding good that even that nine inch nails cover he sounds old he sounds like an old johnny cash and it really just makes you appreciate all that johnny cash is and that you know at whatever age he was when he did that nine-ish nails cover you're just like [ __ ] that's cool [ __ ] that's cool that was one of the coolest covers literally of all time yeah sinatra for getting his lyrics rolling stones are still going i know i don't know how i don't know how the rolling stones are still going yeah here's the thing johnny cash's voice is amazing but a singer he is not he he he's a crooner at best and even some of his stuff is just talking you know just talking but i agree look legend legend i'm not here to [ __ ] on johnny cash in any way no way johnny cash is a legend the man in black are you kidding me are you kidding me johnny cash is a legend derek rhodes no need to end your patronage but a singer he is not he's a talented guitar player he can talk his way through a song but he's not a singer i wouldn't say he ever sang anything he was a storyteller exactly he was a storyteller a hundred percent legend absolute legend uh undeniably legend unquestionably a legend tom jones yeah look that's important too tom jones uh wayne newton i think wayne newton is still performing in las vegas okay dolly parton absolute legend dolly parton is honestly like a [ __ ] personal hero dolly parton has the greatest scam sh not scam sorry dolly parton just lives a normal life because nobody knows that she's dolly parton because she wears a big blonde wig and she goes out in public with just natural brunette hair and maybe a pair of glasses and just lives her life goes grocery shopping and nobody knows that it's dolly parton but she's a goddamn superstar you know superstar there's not a lot of artists and musicians that i'm gonna like really truly [ __ ] on scott stapp maybe from creed but that's about it you know that's about it i can find redeeming qualities and appreciate like i'm not a big wayne newton fan i'm not gonna rock a wayne newton t-shirt and i'm not gonna buy any wayne newton vinyl but wayne newton is a goddamned legend legend are you kidding me wayne newton you want to try to talk [ __ ] on wayne [ __ ] newton you're crazy he's a legend the man's a legend the man is prolific dolly parton you know same way
