Magical Girl Site Gets Worse | joyce-stick
soooo there’s an excessively detailed content warning on the screen right now, which you should take a moment to pause the video and read, and I believe it to be necessary because, Magical Girl Site is a series grossly infamous for its relentlessly edgy first episode, which features, CONTENT WARNING, suicidality, bullying, domestic abuse, cat murder on purpose, attempted rape, human murder on accident, generally brutal violence, and blood. I like blood! For these transgressions, Site received almost immediate ridicule from reviewers at the time of its airing, resulting in either a staunch discommendation or a tepid recommendation to the ostensibly degenerate individuals who are entertained by this sort of thing, sometimes simultaneously. And y’know, that’s fair. This initial episode is pretty extreme, and delights greatly, almost fetishistically even, in depicting all this violence and abuse with graphic and lurid detail. However, after having watched all twelve episodes multiple times, I must say… That’s really it. This first episode is the height of Site’s edge, in my opinion. None of the content in the following episodes is quite so excessive. I’m a little torn on this particular episode, because on the one hand, it does a pretty effective job of establishing the tone of the series going forward, but on the other hand, it’s not the best representation of what that series will actually be. Like, yes, the rest of the series does feature more gristle and misery, but it’s not quite nearly as frequent, and it’s not just about heaping misery onto a single character. Especially since the rest of the episodes have, y’know, plots that go places. It’d be pretty boring if the main girl spent the entire twelve episodes being bullied at school, after all. If you can sit through this one episode and be even moderately entertained, you’re good. But if you found this first episode particularly unenjoyable, there’s a chance, if only a small one, that you might end up enjoying what follows. It’s in an awkward spot to me, where I can’t say that it doesn’t represent the show that it introduces, but it also doesn’t put its best foot forward, and as such, may leave viewers with an impression that is… not incorrect, but perhaps skewed. as far as the anime is concerned at least what else is in this series, by the way! *ruffles papers* uhhhhhh… self-harm, transphobia, assault, more violent murder and death, some more absurdly fetishistic and inappropriately fetishized scenarios, some uh… oh yeah, also stalking. I forgot about the stalking. Ummm… I can understand why someone does not like this show. You do not have to like this show. You do not have to watch this show. If you do want to watch it though, good I guess? I don’t particularly recommend the manga, though. It’s not great. I mean the manga has redeeming qualities but kfghjkdhlkjdhlkfjbkn we’ll get to it Once you’re willing to look past the edge, Magical Girl Site is a visually creative, well-directed, solidly paced gorier and gayer riff on the dark magical girl formula with plenty enough of its own style and personality to feel distinctive and potentially attractive. This anime knows exactly what it is, and, once it’s done establishing its tone and affect, settles down into its place comfortably, confidently, and competently. I think this anime owns quite a bit. I consider it to be very quite good. Soooo, if it’s alright with y’all, I’m just gonna talk a bit about why. [normal non-amv title card, I think] Magical Girl Site focuses on Aya Asagiri, a timid, soft-spoken middle school girl who is being bullied by her classmates by day and abused by her older brother by night. In the morning, she thinks about leaping into the path of a train and ending her life, but doesn’t do so. In the afternoon, she visits a stray kitten that she names “Myaa-chan,” who she regards as a kindred spirit, both of them lost without a home and a place to belong. One night, Aya is contacted by a mysterious “Magical Girl Site” that says they will send her a magic wand as recompense for her suffering. She disregards it as some sort of joke, but the following morning happens upon a heart-shaped gun and a note with comically simple instructions. Later after school, when one of Aya’s classmates and a senior student corner and attempt to violate her, she uses the gun out of desperation and it teleports her assailants to the train tracks where they murdered the cat. I think I already mentioned that they murdered the cat? Aya feels guilty about having accidentally killed her bullies, grieves the cat, and the next day is confronted by the two still living bullies, the leader of whom threatens to gut her in the mouth. She is stopped however by Tsuyuno Yatsumura, another magical girl who pauses time, rescues Aya, and brutally injures the clique leader while time is still stopped. They later learn that an oncoming apocalypse called the Tempest is on the way, which will purge all the worst of humanity, which so happens to arbitrarily include almost all of humanity. Ostensibly, only one magical girl will be able to survive if they gather up all the negative energy by killing all the magical girls and then taking and using all of their magic wands. So, yeah, that’s basically the setup of this series. It’s sort of Madoka, but Future Diary flavored! [i do not like Future Diary.] The relationship between Tsuyuno and Aya, which develops in a transparently romantic direction as the series goes on, is the emotional core of the story that follows, the glue that holds the whole thing together. They’re good characters! They have a good dynamic! And this is very important, because Site has many superficially horrible and despicable characters, and it really helps to balance that out by having your protagonist be the goodest and most innocent little bean, i.e., Aya! Aya is a good protagonist for this series, because she acts as the key contrast, the control, if you will, to every character in this series who is everything she is not. Aya is empathetic, quiet, timid, and conflict-averse. Also she doesn’t want to kill anyone. All of these are things that do not apply to most other characters in this series! As her character develops, that aspect of her does not change. She becomes more assertive, learns to defend herself, to not take people’s shit, but she doesn’t become a killer. She remains compassionate to the end, and that makes her stand out among the vengeful, sadistic murderers that fill out this cast. Meanwhile, the rest of the cast change around Aya. They all learn a little of her compassion, while still being very much themselves. The girls of Site are despicable, but not irredeemable. They all have their own unique qualities that make them likable, their own reasons for feeling as they do, and yeah, their backstories and their personalities and motivations are all super edgy and stuff, but the common thread between all of them is that they are only cruel to each other, because the world taught them cruelty. One of the best scenes in the show comes in the fifth episode, when Aya fights against her bully, Sarina, who since being injured by Tsuyuno has herself become a magical girl and now seeks revenge against both Aya and Tsuyuno. And this sequence is just such a standout, visually, narratively, emotionally- the way it’s paced and storyboard and animated and everything? *mwah!* like OH MY GOSH, and OH MY GOSH, and OH MY GOSH, and then it all comes to an astounding climax when Aya forces the fight to a stop by using a magic barrier wand that blocks Sarina’s attacks, and so they do the only thing they can do- they shout. I’ve been in a lot of intense shouting matches, and this scene perfectly captures how they feel, the atmosphere, the tension, when one or both parties want to strangle each other but just can’t (generally because of a social barrier rather than a physical one). Sarina and Aya screaming at each other, not just spelling out what the conflict is about, but laying bare the emotion behind it, the pure hurt and hatred. All of it, so well acted, both vocally and visually! It’s such a damn good scene. And then the entire apartment building comes crumbling down under the pure weight of their conflict, and then Aya saves Sarina’s life at the last moment, teleporting her to Aya’s desk at school. Sarina, realizing what Aya is trying to communicate by forcing Sarina to sit where Aya sat every day, to spend even just a moment in Aya’s shoes- and Sarina stubbornly refusing to admit that she’s even a little bit affected by it. I mean, I don’t know what else to say, really, this sequence speaks for itself! It’s beautiful! And the development it prompts! Sarina never really comes to openly sympathize with Aya, exactly, they’re never going to go have a brunch together or anything, but she does realize that they’re not so different. That feeding into the cycle of violence between them doesn’t benefit anyone, at least not while they have a common enemy. And that’s really how it goes! Around in episode six, the girls all realize they were being played by the administrators of the Magical Girl Site, that they were never supposed to survive the apocalypse. So they all decide to forgo playing along with the Site and instead work together to undermine it. The site administrators told the magical girls to kill each other, and in a more standard death game anime, they would, but here, they don’t play the game’s rules. They realize that they’re really just all the same and that it’s more to their benefit to join forces! And like, that’s cool! Like, that just is cool! I think Future Diary would be significantly improved if all the Future Diary holders just decided, nah, no, fuck this murder charade, we’re gonna go fucking kill god! And that’s just exactly what happens in Magical Girl Site! It’s good! It’s just really damn good! Aya and Tsuyuno have a really good arc together, it develops really well, it just is generally really good, I really like it! There’s just a really good, strong, coherent theme of family and unlearning cruelty and solidarity in all of it. The magical girls all have to keep each other off of each other’s throats and all, but they manage to work together, to hold together as a group, in spite of that. When one of their own dies in a costly conflict, they all set aside their differences, their bickering, and they come together to grieve. And that leads to, again, one of my most favorite scenes in the entire series- Aya, walking silently down the aisle, with a lily in hand, and laying it on the casket. Aya, once again grieving the loss of a kindred spirit, but this time she’s not alone. This time she’s with friends. With her chosen family. And this scene just makes the series for me. It’s just so damn good. All of this entire plot, the acknowledgement of suffering among people who don’t belong anywhere in society except among themselves, the acknowledgement of the darkness, the bitterness, the infighting- and yet they find peace, comradery, a place of compassion and care in a world that has not taught them how. And there’s a really resonant power fantasy in this story, this shared understanding of their collective mortality, but the comfort in the knowledge that they will be able to face that together, be able to live through that, together. A lot of LGBTQ folks die pretty young. A lot of us have had friends who died, or friends who have friends who died, by their own hands or by others, and a lot of us have pondered the possibility of our own death more than we’d like to admit. And a lot of us who do die, die alone, die without people who loved us to grieve us, die without people who knew who we were, die without a family who cared about us. A lot of us feel the pressure of this cruel world, of being unable to push back on it, and a lot of us find it difficult to know kindness when many of us grew up in unkind social environments. And I think Magical Girl Site really speaks to the simple fantasy of not having to feel alone in that. A fantasy that not all of us get to fulfill. And also to the fantasy of having some power, even if the world is cruel, having some ability to resist it. Because, y’know, magic! [Tsuyuno: We have to stand up and face this, with the time we have left, with whatever life we have left] soooo yeah idk I like this series. I just do. I agree with what Pedantic Romantic said about it, I guess just watch their video cause they said it better than me and stuff and uhh yeah. *sigh* Okay, now let’s talk about the not as good stuff. The problems with the manga begin small. The first few chapters aren’t what I’d call good, but they aren’t bad, either. Chapter One immediately SLAMS readers with this page: So it frontloads the big violent gory stuff- that’s fair, I guess they haven’t yet written out the part of the manga that the beginning of the anime uses for its in medias res bit. It’s not like this manga has a perfectly good protagonist that it could start by making sympathetic- Well, it does make her sympathetic, though! The first few chapters are mostly the same as the first few episodes of the anime. There’s no big differences storywise, yet, it’s just that the manga has a lot of weird pacing issues that the anime fixed. Tsuyuno and Aya’s relationship develops a bit more awkwardly- It has this one random Boy character who walks Aya home once and i think hands her some worksheets or something? There’s really nothing to say about him, he could have been AND IN THE ANIME WAS entirely cut out of the story. Then it reserves a chapter for Tsuyuno’s edgy backstory which is a bit much but y’know whatever that’s a problem the anime had, too. With the early chapters of the manga, there’s really no specific problem… that the anime didn’t already have. It’s just a bit clumsier, quite a bit gorier, and a lot less refined in general. I kept reading, figuring, hey y’know this isn’t a big deal, it probably got better later and then the anime streamlined the early story to match the improved pacing and quality of the later chapters. That happens a lot with good anime adaptations of manga where the author didn’t find their footing until later on, doesn’t it? But the manga never finds its footing. The artstyle gets a lot more polished, to be sure, and there are some downright gorgeous pages. However, the story just gets further and further from its redeeming qualities, i.e., the beating heart of Tsuyuno and Aya’s relationship. That heart is there, but it’s crowded, sullied, by the entire mess that surrounds it. I don’t really know where to begin here, and I don’t have time to pick through every single stupid plot point, so I’m just going to lay out the biggest issues. First off, the manga is, as I said, much much gorier. If you think the anime is excessive, you won’t be able to stomach the manga at all. Things like the death of Myaa-chan, the accidental murder of Myaa-chan’s murderer and Aya’s would-be rapist, Rina Shioi’s brutal murders, and a lot more violence besides, is depicted with a lot more graphic detail and a pointed lack of discretion afforded by the anime. Blood, decapitation, decapitated head stumps, eyes popping out of sockets, and on and on. The manga’s only form of restraint comes in its lack of color. This isn’t a problem in itself, at least not to me, but it really doesn’t help when combined with the issue that the dialogue writing is just… so much more arbitrarily cruel. Nearly everyone in this series who has a temper or penchant for brutal violence, which, I might remind you, is, by the most generous estimation, around half the cast, uses harsh, coarse, and vulgar language at basically all times. “F—k,” s—t,” “b—ch,” “c—t,” r-slur, t-slur, f-slur- you name it, and someone probably says it at some point, and says it in excess. This isn’t an inherently poor choice- I love the catharsis of a well-placed f-bomb as much as anyone, [Haruhi: then i’ll tell everyone at school that all you geeks ganged up on her and f—ed her!] But when you hardly ever relent on the curses, it just ends up drowning out the distinctive identifying traits of your characters and leaves the script sounding like it was written by a fourteen-year-old boy who’s only just learned that those words exist. Before you say, “oh, yeah, fan translations sure do that sometimes,” let me clarify that I read the official, licensed, English translation from Seven Seas. I understand that Japanese doesn’t have nearly as many swear words to throw around as English does, so this likely comes down to their localization choice, but I don’t know and also I don’t care. I can’t read Japanese, and I’m not judging the original Japanese text. The original Japanese could have the best writing of all time, and I wouldn’t care, because it’s not what I’m reading. The greater abundance of arbitrary cruelty extends to the plotting, as well. After Shioi, Tsuyuno, and Aya all get out of the hospital, Tsuyuno and Aya go stay at Aya’s family’s house, since neither of them really have anywhere else to go after Tsuyuno’s apartment building collapsed. While they’re taking a bath together, Aya asks why they didn’t ask Shioi to also stay, and Tsuyuno literally just says, “whatever, Shioi can sleep on the street,” as if that’s… not a problem? They invite Shioi inside the following night, but this really just makes Tsuyuno seem like an asshole and is in poor taste. The anime fixed this scene by having them invite Shioi to stay with them in the first place. Which makes sense, doesn’t it? She’s one of them, and they’ve all agreed by now that they should set aside their differences and help each other survive the apocalypse. Sure, Shioi’s killed people, but whatever. So have they! So has everyone! No one in this series is a saint! The manga version of this scene really comes across like the author just wanted to further fetishize the suffering of the girls, regardless of if that made any sense to do at this point. Also the anime version of the bath scene is a lot better about its gaze, whereas in the manga, the male gaze is a lot more prevalent and transparently lecherous. That extends to scenes like this, where nearly a full page is taken up to show off this random girl’s body and all the injuries she’s got from being assaulted at school. And like, there’s nothing wrong with this scene conceptually, but there are ways to show things like this without making it look like you just want to get off on this girl’s scars. And what’s more is that, this particular girl, Yuka Sumikura? She ultimately doesn’t become a magical girl! She’s not important! She’s just another irrelevant side character with which the manga pads its pages and kills its pacing! Similarly, the stalker guy- oh yeah, the stalker guy, he and Aya’s brother get a lot more chapters that don’t add anything and don’t matter. And then after volume eight- *cough* sorry I’m getting ahead of myself. Uh, arbitrary fetishization of cruelty. So the trans character, Kiyoharu, gets a fair bit more of a presence in this manga, with the transphobic harassment she deals with being depicted in a lot more detail. And this isn’t a bad thing in itself, y’know, Kiyo has her whole monologue about how she plans to exact bloody vengeance on all the transphobes, and that’s cool and good, but then later when she’s introducing herself to the other magical girls, everyone’s like… “wait, she’s a boy?” *deep sigh* Well, to be fair, this scene was also in the anime. But it was brief. I wrote it off as another trans character being written kinda weirdly. They never really explore the topic of Kiyo’s gender again, in the anime, and after this scene, the subtitles just keep referring to her as a she, and no one makes a big deal of it. I was willing to think maybe it was just a weird translation choice, since Japanese is, like many languages, apparently kind of behind on language to express trans stuffs, and Japan is one of many… *cough* sorry, most parts of the world where mainstream awareness and acceptance of trans folks and LGBTQ folk in general is pretty far behind where it should be. Yay society! ummm… that’s not really what this video is about though… Yeah, so depicting transphobic harassment and misgendering is also not a problem in itself. In fact that’s probably a pretty good idea if maybe you want to say things about the shit trans people go through in their lives and try to engender empathy for them among your audience! There’s plenty of anime and manga that handle this topic well, so it’s not like it’s an impossible task or anything, but you kind of need to y’know, draw a line? Like, have the obviously bad people misgender Kiyo in your misery montage, that’s fine, but then don’t also have your protagonists do that? Multiple times? They do it multiple times. The fact that Kiyo is “actually a boy” is spelled out in her bio in the manga, and also a whole damn plot point to foreshadow that Kaname can use a wand, which Kiyo herself points out in dialogue graciously cut from the anime. And like, okay, maybe you just think I’m banging a drum about this minor character because I happen to also be trans and kind of care a bit about how well trans characters in the stories I happen to follow are written, and… uh… yes? If you think that’s some kind of a problematic bias, then, f—k you. you can stop watching the video if you want. I don’t care. My point here, is that the narrative presentation of the manga, both when it comes to Kiyo and all the other characters, feels disjointed. Is the manga trying to say that transphobia is bad, or are trans people just another of the author’s many fetishes? Are we supposed to sympathize with these girls? Or are we supposed to get off to their misery? Perhaps all of these things are true at once? I could see a good argument for any or all of these theses being made any which way, depending on how much you happen to like the series and what lens you want to read it through. And y’know, THAT’S ART I GUESS! Art often has many faces, and sometimes the practice of literary analysis is picking the aspects you like and saying “this is what it is to me.” And that’s great! That’s fine! I think every piece of art is problematic to some degree, and I’m already ignoring a lot of these problems when it comes to liking the anime adaptation of this very manga. The Site manga’s problems are present in the anime. It’s just that, to me, they’re less prevalent, and minimized, to the point where they don’t bother me so much. The crass language and brutal violence isn’t wrong. Being edgy isn’t wrong. I like edgy shit, and if I didn’t, I wouldn’t have even begun to watch or read this series. But the manga doesn’t know any of the subtlety or sense of good tonal and narrative pacing that the anime does. The anime generally keeps its focus on Aya and Tsuyuno, the part of the story that’s, y’know, good, and it makes all these little changes and additions to tie their story together- things like Aya sending Sarina to her desk at school, like Aya not wanting to kill Shioi and thus sending her to the place under the bridge where she found Myaa-chan. Moments like these matter. They remind me why I should care. They make the edgy and gristly bits of the story feel justified, because it feels like a story about these girls finding sanctuary from, and ultimately overcoming, that otherwise omnipresent cruelty and grimness. In the manga, in between developing their relationship, there are so many more unnecessary scenes of abject misery. Because the manga doesn’t know when to relent on its edginess. Because so many things that the anime just had happen are made so irritatingly and pointlessly convoluted in the manga to the point where I just stop caring. *sigh* There’s only one manga-exclusive scene that the anime cut for which I think it’s poorer having done so. The girls all make a huge deal out of how Tsuyuno has almost used up her Soul Gem Tattoo and has only a few days left to live, and that their mission to take out the site administrators might well be their last. And before they go on that final mission, Aya and Tsuyuno go on a date together, enjoy themselves, find some joy in their lives together- but they both know this time can’t last forever. They have a little chat about their mortality, they cry, they hold hands, and they kiss. they kiss! i mean, okay, I guess this scene was probably cut for pacing, whatever, but COME ON! YOU HAD A PERFECTLY GOOD LESBIAN KISS RIGHT HERE! It was GOOD! I mean, yeah, of course I’m going to be a fair bit miffed about this being cut out. but still, right here, in this scene, I felt like here, this scene, was what the anime was truly adapting- not literally, but in spirit. The big two page spread where they kiss, it’s gorgeous, it’s awesome, it’s beautiful… and it all disappears as quickly as it comes. Then the manga goes way, way off the rails. hi. i was going to make a longer fancier patreon intermission but i don’t wanna do that anymore because this video took too long and i don’t have the time for it. here’s the names of patreon people from recently. and special thanks to Brea, Cassandra, Eliza Tantivy, hikari no yume, Nichtschwert, Scimitar, Sven Lupov, and Thijs. i hope all of you are enjoying the video. i’m sorry if you’re not. or if you end up hating it later. also i’m sorry for the bad unfinished editing in the next few minutes. After the heartfelt funeral scene in the anime, Aya takes the magical girls aside and wordlessly confronts them with the barrel of her gun, moments before the building they’re at explodes around them. Cut to a remote safehouse, where it’s revealed that the Site admins made an attempt on the girls’ lives, and, as Sarina leaked that information to Aya, she made a move to save everyone. From there, they plot to defeat the Magical Girl Site admins once and for all, and the last three episodes go from there. This all feels like a climatic payoff and it’s well executed and directly follows on and shows Aya’s growth from the events of the previous episode! It’s just good! In the manga, this scene plays out sort of similarly, except the main site admin Nana shows her face and Aya tries to negotiate with her. This doesn’t work out, Nana blows the place up, and they all die. LOOK, IT’S AYA’S DISMEMBERED HAND! *imperfectly diabolical laugh* This death lasts not long, however, as another magical girl, Alice Maganuma, rewinds time and intervenes to save them. She explains a bit later that she also helped save Sarina from a similar fate with her time powers, and a whole thing is made of how stupid and naive Aya was to try and negotiate. At this point I just kind of went… “okay.” Like, the anime did this scene so much better, saving the girls from this situation with Aya’s power that had already been established, without feeling the need to go all PSYCHE and suddenly introduce a new character who has a new power and also an excuse for why Sarina is still alive after being killed because, y’know, Sarina wasn’t killed in the anime. She just showed up later, after several scenes establishing her as acting independently. And like… maybe I’d like Alice, if she were introduced to the manga in a cleaner manner, and it didn’t feel like the story just sort of invented her out of thin air to reverse this gruesome death scene… and that’s the problem with this manga! It feels like it doesn’t have a plan or an idea where it’s going! Like it’s just writing whatever it needs to in order to justify more of this cheap shit! Then it has their whole plan lie on Alice’s ability to rewind time if it goes wrong, then Alice betrays and deserts them, and then Tsuyuno uses her time stop powers to save them all at the last moment at the cost of her own life. the arc cuts off at the “all is lost” point to divert onto THIS arc, where the story goes back to introduce these two NEW characters, who I’ll call… uh, Tall Girl and Small Girl, cause I don’t care. Tall Girl’s dad brutally murdered some random teenage boys who allegedly killed her sister, but weren’t punished on account of there being no evidence for their culpability. So her dad’s on death row for doing so, and she’s being bullied at school for her dad being a murderer. So she gets a magic wand that can copy other magical girls’ powers, and a list of magical girls to copy from, one of which happens to be Small Girl. So she and Small Girl befriend each other, and they try to solve the mystery of Tall Girl’s sister’s murder, which leads them to the mystery of a mysterious figure known as “A”, a whole bunch of other bullshit happens, there’s a bunch of scenes I don’t like or care for, for a variety of reasons, but the primary reason I have for not liking this arc is just that… I don’t care! We’ve already had an arc of a new magical girl and a veteran magical girl hunting down other magical girls who know the mysteries of the Magical Girl Site! We’ve already had an unnecessary attempted rape scene, and now we have another one, except it’s racist this time! We’ve already had all this with Aya and Tsuyuno and it was already done better! And the justification for Aya’s bullying was just better and more interesting and simple, she’s socially awkward and can’t stand up for herself! she had to grow from that! I cared about that! what does Tall Girl have to overcome? uh, she thinks murder is bad, I guess! the other girl thinks murder is not bad! Yes, I have read Death Note, thank you very much! “my dad killed some dudes,” isn’t clever or interesting, and I don’t care! The “A” person is handing off wands in a mask and cloak, and this is annoying the site managers cause only they’re supposed to give away wands, and that’s connected to the detective who kidnapped Aya’s brother and is the brother of Alice, the time rewinding girl, and all this Site conspiracy stuff, and that’s even less interesting! I don’t know why I’m supposed to care about any of this! the magical girl site being, like, a big apocalyptic long con isn’t that interesting in itself, and the anime only uses and develops it insofar as it heightens the tension of the survival of the girls, which is the thing we actually care about! who is A? who is Nana? why is A dead? what does Misumi want? the questions aren’t interesting, the answers aren’t interesting, none of this matters, I don’t care about these people, and I just want to know what the hell happened to Aya! And if I have to read the words “What is Magical Girl Site” one more time ahdklfkljhgklghjfsdklkfjhkjgdjkhkhsdlhfklsd, *sigh* anyway this takes about, I think, twenty chapters? And then it alllllll loops around to where we left Aya and company off, so that Tall Girl and Small Girl can help steal Alice’s wand and reverse time, undoing more gruesome deaths. this is boring. the arc leading up to this was boring. the payoff is boring. More time travel so that the narrative consequences of gruesome death don’t have to bear out and be dealt with! Then it’s revealed that Aya’s teleportation powers have evolved and she now has the ability to ration out Soul Emblem juice and also teleport memories with her magic heart gun. Which, alrighty, that explains that one scene in the last episode of the anime where Aya teleports herself inside Tsuyuno’s trauma to save her after she’s been super magically brainwashed, and that’s all cool and fine and okay I guess. And then… AND THEN… So, what happens next! The site administrators all go assassinating the families of the insurgent magical girls resisting the Tempest, and the girls all rush to save them. When Aya goes to save her family, her father is wearing the mind control panties- yea, those are a thing. that Kaname stole from Nijimi before killing her, which up till now he’s been using to mind control Kaname into studying so that he’ll become the academic ubermensch and whatever. He stops Aya dead in her tracks and declares that he was against her joining their family, and does not regard her as his child. The following is then shortly revealed. Aya is not a child of this family. Her birth mother died giving birth to her and her twin sister, who just so happens to be… Tsuyuno Yatsumura! this part, I already knew going in. some gay art of Aya and Tsuyuno on dynasty reader happened to be tagged as incest, and I read the comments on the post to find out what was up. When I found out they were sisters, my immediate reaction was [beat] “hell yea! i guess I should read it then!” with the identity of the father a mystery, and no known relatives willing to take them in, the two girls were adopted by different families and separated, until fate drew them back towards each other. Aya’s foster mother had suffered a miscarraige after Kaname’s birth, because her husband beat their unborn baby out of her. She still wanted another child, but because she then couldn’t have any more children, she opted for adoption, and thus, Aya. Aya’s foster father didn’t care for Aya, ignoring her and instead focusing on abusing Kaname since he had the superior genes and blablabla. Kaname in turn abused Aya because he was taking out his anger towards their father, on her. even after learning all this, Aya still wants to save her unbelievably fucked up abusive foster family, because to her, it doesn’t matter if they’re related to her or not- she doesn’t want anyone else to fall into despair, she says. yeah, fair enough. Kaname’s dad overuses the panty wand and halfway dies, Aya defeats the administrator, and then Kaname beats his dad the other half of the way to death, and then a few chapters later he and Aya have a sort of a chat about how all this has shaken out. He tries to talk Aya into helping him survive the end of the world, to which Aya replies with an emphatic FUCK NO. The manga had one last chance to redeem itself to me, here, and it nearly immediately squandered that chance. Aya steals Kaname’s lifespan with her wand, leaving him with only a single Hit Point, so that he won’t be able to use a wand again lest he immediately die. this, I thought at first, was pretty badass. But the story almost immediately undid my initially positive impression of this plot point. Aya then proceeds to say that the reason why she didn’t kill herself is because if Kaname hadn’t been able to take out his anger on Aya, then it would have “broken the family.” As if the family wasn’t already broken! And so, she endured Kaname’s abuse, to protect him, and to protect the family, and that, while she won’t allow him to further any more misery, she’ll continue to protect him always. because… he’s her brother… I guess. … I hate this. I hate this single moment of the manga, more than any other. I despise the message that this sends. As someone who’s had firsthand experience living in a family that I now recognize as having been abusive, someone who’s had to come to grips with my estrangement from that family, the fact that they hurt me, and the fact that they are directly responsible for the damaged person that I am AYA DOESN’T OWE THESE PEOPLE SHIT. She didn’t before, and she doesn’t now, and she especially doesn’t owe any sympathies to Kaname. No child owes their family any favors, and especially not a child of a family like this. I agree that blood doesn’t matter, because, yeah, uh, it doesn’t, but family also doesn’t matter. an abusive family such as this is, in my mind, little more than a socially acceptable hostage situation. Aya’s lifetime of Stockholm Syndrome is very realistic, but it isn’t an answer to that. It’s something for her to work through, not for her to accept. The message this exchange sends about family, that you must endure whatever hell your family puts you through in the interest of not disrupting its facade of functionality, is a downright abhorrent and irresponsible thing for a story to say. And by this, I am immeasurably disgusted. I am not disgusted, however, by the reveal that Aya and Tsuyuno are twin sisters. this story has many problems, but I don’t consider that one of them. if you’re bothered by it, then whatever, let’s just say it was another thing that the anime adapted out to make the story better. personally, I’m much more bothered by the manga glossing over and apparently forgiving the franky unforgivable abuse perpetrated by Aya’s foster father against his wife and son, and by Kaname against Aya. family is a social construct. and also oftentimes a hostage situation. so yeah the manga doesn’t get better from here. There’s a big reveal about where magical girls come from and what “the King” is, and it’s both disappointingly derivative and comically incomprehensible. best as I can summarize it, uhhhh the King is basically the most unfortunate magical girl, who is Gaia, and she’s mad because humans kept fucking up the world, and then they made discount Skynet, and then discount Skynet destroyed humanity and made the Earth metal, and then Gaia was like, “put it back, please, i don’t like being a metal earth” and then they used genetic manipulation to restore humanity and everything and after about a year of work put everyone back, Gaia decided she’d give the humans of the earth one last chance to not be evil, or else she’d turn them all into sperm and refertilize them. …so the last apocalypse happened recently and the entire cast has false memories of having lived their entire lives continuously when in reality they were all killed by Skynet and then later resurrected DOES THIS MANGA HAVE ANY BETTER IDEAS THAN EVERYONE DIED AND THEN THEIR DEATHS WERE UNDONE The climax of this manga is essentially the writer desperately trying to justify all the spinning of wheels the manga has done up to this point- the evil Gaia girl needing to be attacked by the magical boys because she gets stronger with female energy but is weak to male energy- Aya who’s over here saving Tsuyuno from being mind-controlled by Gaia and her Skynet assistant- OH ALSO the random boy who only appeared a few times and contributed basically nothing, who I said was irrelevant and could have easily been cut out entirely, earlier? he’s Aya and Tsuyuno’s father! he’s just been like, in disguise and watching them! yea, I really wanted to see this beloved character return for the finale! definitely this manga just isn’t just a colossal mess! I could try to unpack all this stuff, but I won’t, because none of this matters! the apocalypse goes through, the world is exploding, humanity’s being refertilized and all the magical girls slash boys are about to die, when Aya uses her wand to teleport back in time and prevent the entire story from ever happening! [Unexpected 06] this, in itself, wasn’t surprising. it’s like, what, the fifth, sixth time, that the manga has been like OH NO EVERYONE DIED but don’t worry someone time traveled back and stopped it! no, what surprised me, was this page. I literally never saw this coming. Aya Lately: “Huh? There’s more than one of me?” Ichi: “What is going on here? How can there be THREE Asagiri Ayas?” Aya Prime(?): There’s not just Aya Crowd: THREE OF US *controlled laughter* so the twist here being that Aya’s just been like, farming lives, basically! and now there’s lots and lots of her, and all the Ayas are together powerful enough to stop the apocalypse! i do not know what to say to this. maybe if the story hadn’t had so much other bullshit, if it had kept the focus on Aya, this payoff would have been cathartic or whatever, but instead it’s just… I don’t know. I didn’t know what to do when I saw this but just laugh. and the story tries to tell us that Kaname somehow contributed positively to this outcome, “put a spell on her to protect her” or something? is she talking about the same person? I should like this. I like it conceptually. I already know that I like the idea of Aya just completely shattering the rules just so she can stay with Tsuyuno. I already know this, because it’s already done so well in the anime’s ending. It still makes me cry when Aya says Aya:Yatsumura-san… I no longer resent myself, or the world How could I? after… meeting you? and this moment, when Aya and Tsuyuno decide that they are happy together, that they have not just earned their happiness, but that they believe in their happiness. this is a good ending! this is one of my favorite endings, to one of my favorite anime, and the manga just… it just *sigh* The last page of the manga is Aya and Tsuyuno, holding hands at the beach, smiling at each other, as all their friends, all the girls Aya saved, all frolick and laugh, and I think that’s the best ending this manga could have had, that’s the ending I wanted, that’s the best ending, but, when the story leading up to all of this is so poorly handled, so poorly paced, when so much of it doesn’t matter, when it doesn’t handle its tone well and the story doesn’t seem to understand what’s good about itself, it doesn’t lean into its best qualities, and when almost all of the things it does do well already exist, done so much better, in the form of the anime which is so much more concise and has so much less bullshit in it, taking all of that together, I can’t call Magical Girl Site, the manga, anything but an inferior and bloated version of a stellar anime adaptation that far surpasses it. *sigh* why’d I make this video, anyway? it’s not as if any of this really matters. the fact that I didn’t like this manga doesn’t mean the people who do are going to suddenly not like it. and i’m clearly not the target audience anyways, so, whatever. Did I have some kind of bigger message here, about family or queerness or humanity or female exploitation or the ills of capitalism? Not really, no. Not intentionally anyway. And I’m tired of giving my videos heady, self-important conclusions such as those. I don’t think Magical Girl Site, either its anime or its manga, is essentially good, or essentially bad, or truly contains or fails to capture some kind of greater essential truth. I think it’s an anime I liked, a manga I didn’t like, and I just spent an hour or so trying to justify how I felt, because that’s what I wanted to do. Originally, I planned to express a wholly positive impression of Magical Girl Site. I read the manga to cover my bases, expecting to just mention it a time or two in a video recommending the anime. But it turned out to be the climax of a journey for me, yet another emotional adventure I had with a piece of media. An adventure that led me from a fervent adoration of and eagerness for this series, to apathy and distaste for it, culminating in my pivotal attainment of the perspective I’ve expressed to you today. I can’t forget Magical Girl Site. Even if I think parts of it are bad. I still look at the anime, and I still see those good parts. I still see Aya, walking down that aisle. I still see Tsuyuno, patting Aya’s head, assuring her that what she went through wasn’t her fault. I still see these two girls, choosing not to believe in their mutual ill fate, choosing to love each other, and to not hate the world. I still see a dysfunctional found family coming together in spite of their mutually aggrieving one another, and learning kindness for one another. I choose to see what I like about this story, because I can’t forget how it made me feel. And I think all art, including my own, can be found by some to be problematic, or difficult to stomach, or ideologically disagreeable, but such conclusions aren’t absolute. I myself have been guilty of framing such discussions in absolutes before, and I’ll probably continue bordering on those absolutes, because that’s unfortunately what gets clicks around here. Ultimately, if you feel a certain way about something, and don’t care what flaws you or others see in it- that’s okay. It’s okay to like things. And it’s all the more okay to like something flawed that made you feel something wonderful nonetheless, and believe in the parts that you find beautiful. And I hope that my perspective, regardless of whether you agreed or not, was enlightening, or interesting, or at least amusing. Thank you for your time.

old butter the leathers are for the thing is though I haven't seen many bikes on routes to it on the road actually I mean it's now eight minutes passed knowing they said be there from around no leash on which for registration but would have thought or would have saw a few more by now but you never know I might get there I won't be the only one which registered so I'm won't be the only one doing the road we left a pop there as well one time don't forget some good shots of that the Kaka dose there man and it's literally it's like this everything's on the peace trail so I'm not sure what the routes gonna be Tom him Leon today I think it's a nine 19.7 mile route that thinks off it's just about an average origin it's not a big thing I believe it's going to be Marsh old as well as in the marshals there's no traffic management so none of the roads are gonna be closed on the traffic lights are gonna be so it's gonna be if you hit the lights you have got a stop and then just catch the group up later on I have to sort this one we go to I else would be good Banaras with a blue sky run those mountains then we haul and park but some music so we are to keep going on so must be the next turn awful that was the only turning but saying that though I can't through the little gaps in the fence I can see somewhat in in the finish off and see some bikes let's find out where the entrances or resist here is it this one it's that one there Ashley sugarplum we need to turn around we need to turn around where can we turn out can't we do it here I don't know no on donkeys turn my crazy [Applause] tolls car boots oh I call how many boots you got for sale [Applause] come on love you could turn right there you don't I'll take my turn around we are turning around mmm tonight I think is a nope he's not coming with us always 8 he is turning around he's done the same as most mr. entrance a lot good move mate I shouldn't have much but now why did the correct thing I followed the highway code my turn order the lights and then I did a year right are you budgeted here we are my Heights just bop what is the furia I'll tell you what you could have been the drone eeeh why look at this oh yes oh yes Craig bring the girl oh my / : are they'll be daughter [Music] my mother's few here there is a few yeah [Music] oh yeah so it's actually a parking up here are you done [Music] got a switch off my pipes what a so footage or report [Music] you [Music] let's go [Music] I used to have one of those in front GSXR 1998 brand new become red the only bike I've ever heard a brand new I think it was called I think was called in Birmingham idea that they're going anymore yes and I smashed it up doing over the bridge on the way to work I've did the old classic mistake it was a November morning roads were damp it was a little bridge I went over the bridge I wouldn't say I flew over the bridge or as I come over the other end the front end was up as I come down a bridge a car poured off an industrialist out on the left and I did a stupid thing is I told the funk break why the footwell was in the air so obviously the front wheel was locked and as soon as it the floor bosch Avant went down the road Boyd benched from underneath me I ended up doing quite a few Gamble's and the last one as I was tumbling I landed back up on my feet so they'll kind of uh I'll run like running eight of the gamble as I was running I noticed I was running with our left hand side now as I looked down and fair that like me kneecapped was like on me back nothing just completely mangled i sat on the curb I believe me boss at the time Jimbo Jim Garrity I think he was coming past so we got the white pushed into a local courage got me out on land to del Jews your visit to the hospital - go get me mangle exhorted and that was the end of my GSXR dry-fit mine was the 600 I'm not sure what mady's can't see for ya it looks like a nice read I feel a bit alone some today I ain't got much to say well that all these bikers and I'm talking to myself it's funny because people always like to see boy who's eight they always why even get the cameras eight and then we get so much stick forward you'll love us if you hate us so yeah well that's right if he's got his phone on that Suzuki then would specifically have another lock he's got it on a bulldog clip that's definitely one way of holding your phone on good look for that mate if you have phone today's eye doctor can you see it I can see it he's got hanging off his barrier a clip just just clipped onto his phone each to their own I suppose but enough phone problems recently I wouldn't want to be doing it with the Bulldog clip top was lazy and you look it up no nobody wants that he said a fashion so I think he was very happy but the bikes we'll have to come here as well with the drone over some of the duplicate ruins nobody big day she'll probably do that in one fight I remember coming down here on my way to work one morning when I lived in Dudley and I come down these bus routes and waiting just there was the police officer when he pulled me over I had an on-the-spot 60-pound phone and ever since then I've never gone down that buzz lane either my lesson so I went on when told the wife about a 60 pound fine should a dish wash to be fair soon [Music] both plans motto cover it up student bike health Ori it was a problem well I thought this is where I exit the vault we've done a bigger loop around so I'm back to my hometown now so I think I might sorry yep think of a nice riding with you people's see you all again soon hopefully some of you get to watch the video I don't know what we've got planned next and we need to try and get we did try and get out to clay Hill on a Saturday with the drone I mean that we could do in a Saturday morning we also need to do this Eton or castle in Malvern now that might be remote a bit longer so we need to plumb that one [Music] so thinking what we play hell next until them popes that's it for this one we will see you on the next or hopefully it'll be a sunny morning I don't it'll be a few more of us out or get the drone up get some footage it's like clay Hill looks amazing so for now catch you later [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music]

Breast Augmentation Q&A and Journey with @jordydix
good morning guys aka dr stix's instagram my name is jordy aka jordydix on instagram i'm popping on here and i'm going to be taking over the instagram today because i'm going to answer your questions about breast augmentation i'm going to talk about my recovery kind of why i made the decision as well and any tips that i've learned along the way because i've documented my entire journey through this process because i thought it would be really cool to document it because there's a lot of videos out there on youtube but not a lot kind of breaking the ins and outs of everything down and i wanted to make sure that women in general had the opportunity to have information about the entire process so i thought i would come on here today and just chat with you guys and answer any questions that may be lingering in your i wanted to break down why i got my breast augmentation surgery so for me i'm a bikini athlete and last year i did my first competition and i went from like a stable normal body uh fat percentage to very low body fat percentage and i had lost all my boobs and felt like a cardboard box and i had already been self-conscious about my breasts for about five years prior and last year was kind of that tipping point for me after that i had actually seen one of my best friends got her boobs done by dr six and a couple other girls that i had reached out to as well recommended him profusely so i decided to reach out have a consultation sit down have a chat and explain like why i wanted it the reasons why how i want them to look and everything like that and nurse kim and everyone at the clinic were so helpful and dr six was absolutely unreal and he helped me kind of pick my size and everything like that for what i wanted to accomplish and yeah so now i have them but um i wanted to talk about the entire process and any questions you may have so i'm gonna do that right now for me it's almost been three months of my boobs being done and i'm honestly so happy with the progress now i'm also doing some treatments every single day after i shower which is what i just did which is a scar away treatment so this is basically silicone scar sheets you place the little bandage underneath your boob so aka where my scar incision is and basically they stay there and they help heal the scar and make it go away another thing that really has helped me is bio oil um i use this every single day in the morning and at night to help heal my scar as well because i actually learned that that helps heal scars really really quickly as well so those are just some tips for um kind of scar reduction and the process of that because as an athlete and kind of showing a lot more of my body i want to make sure that those stars are quite hidden and with the tiny star incision i already have like a small tiny star but i just want to minimize that as much as possible so basically i took a full four weeks off completely i only did steps and cardio but i started including fitness and training back into my regime at that four week period i started with lower body really kind of working my way into it and just easing into it um not doing anything crazy and then fully into upper body at six weeks and now i'm totally good lifting as heavy as i possibly can my body composition i actually lost five pounds while i was recovering from my breast augmentation surgery i'm in off season so it wasn't the happiest moment of my life losing weight but i lost weight while i was resting and it honestly made me feel good as well because you already feel up slightly bloated after surgery as the inflammation and stuff like that so the fact that my body was um responding in a way of like decreasing weight was quite interesting and i wasn't mad about it my breast implants feeling heavy they don't anymore whatsoever they just feel a part of my body but when i came out of surgery it felt like so much pressure on my chest because your body is just adjusting to something that is completely foreign to it so it's normal to feel that right after surgery i don't believe that it is possible to have children that you need to lift in and out um you need someone there with you because you're not supposed to be lifting anything whatsoever because that could damage your implants and it could seriously damage you as well so i would recommend if you have someone have them there training purposes pre and post-op i am not going to be training chess whatsoever as a bikini athlete i actually do not need to train test i didn't do it much before i maybe did one exercise a week and post op i really do not want to affect my implants whatsoever so um if i feel any movements within my chest i'm done right away i just stop it completely because i do not want to take the risk of ever damaging them um honestly they are super important to me and i just want to treat them as best as possible my implants are under the muscle i just feel like they look more natural and they sit nicer as well over the muscle i don't like as much the look personally um but i got 450cc silicone high profile implants during my workouts i have felt my implants a little bit on shoulder or push days so that's when i'm like pressing overhead or doing like a tricep extension or anything like that i felt it a little bit and i if i feel it i stop right away just because i don't want to cause any during my workouts i have felt my implants a little bit on shoulder or push days so that's when i'm like pressing overhead or doing like a tricep extension or anything like that i felt it a little bit and i if i feel it i stopped right away just because i don't want to cause any damage on my front side back anywhere and be totally comfortable so just know that it is just a matter of kind of feeling it out and waiting for your body to recover with your implants the problem with my incision was on my right incision and basically what had happened was is that it wasn't just fully closing because one of my stitches i had actually um ruptured during the healing process i'm not sure why or what happened things happened no matter what but it just wasn't fully healing so i got it checked out here in the uk by one of dr six's colleagues and we made sure that everything was fine and within a week of seeing the other doctor um i was all good and healed so everything was totally fine walking into my sightseeing appointment i wanted to make sure i got the best size possible so the doctors recommended going one size bigger than i wanted just because they know that a lot of girls after surgery after the inflammation goes down that they regret not going bigger so i decided on one size bigger than i was comfortable with and i'm honestly grateful for it because if it wasn't for their advice i probably would have gone smaller and would have wanted to go bigger so i highly recommend always choosing one size bigger

PROJECT HILDA 12: Can I get my Saxo-powered Hillman Imp ready for Rustival?
will Hilda make it to rustal a question that literally some people have asked uh not many but some um and the answer is I don't know so I thought what I'd do in this quick video and it will be quick is I will uh I'll just give a quick update on Hilda where it is at the moment because in an Ideal World I'd have been filming the progress um kind of like I did in the in the Goodwood videos I did a little race to Goodwood video and I was trying to get it ready a couple of years ago for that track day um not many people watched them so I was like his only point but then at the same time it's like yeah but you don't do that for that you just do it for the enjoyment I haven't had time to film what I'm doing on this car I just haven't I've been I mean that's why like the ramp is just absolutely Chu it's Chua block with things that have come off other cars that's on the floor now spark plugs from a TVR uh I haven't even had a chance to clean the ramp let alone the floor I've been flat out on this car uh it's Sunday today I've come in on a Sunday to do this I was here yesterday from about half n till 8 in the evening something like that working on this car the plan is to try and get this thing to rustville rustville is an event created by with the hubnut clan um and Furious driving and Steph I driver classic with a lot of background help from Matt pink um who was on our live stream well all of those are on our live stream actually last year the Sophie's Legacy one but um yeah they they put together this event it's actually it does I like the sound of it it's it's different to all the other car shows there's there's a lot of it that is different one of the things with rust of all is that they're going to have a whole range of I'm not going to say the I word content creator people on YouTube and stuff like that they're going to have a little layout of those and there's going to be a few cars in that layout and hild there is supposed to be one of the cars in that I'm taking two cars I I'm not taking two cars we're taking the saxo as well so the saxo that was on the video the other day um that's on the 20 years where the saxo Instagram uh channel will be there um which more people are excited about that um and yeah and also Hilda if Hilda doesn't make it um it'll be the C6 I know the C6 is probably the more well the C6 is more popular car than this one but I want to drive this one so yeah that's the plan the plan is to try and get H of there now whether I'll do that or not I don't know as it stands there are 2 weeks and 6 days yeah Hilda is in quite a few pieces at the moment um so what I thought i' do in this quick video is uh just go through the progress on Hilda what's been happening I can't I haven't filmed what I've been doing so I thought I'll just quickly show what I've done so far um and also catch up with gearbox fun and games because obviously that's the main reason this car got taken apart a little while ago there has been progress on that um in fact yes I have it with me I was just trying to think the gearbox is in the back of the C6 is the C6 outside yes it is then I shall get the gearbox all right here we go oh stood on some DS bits sorry it's not a not really DS there we go bubble wrap oh my bed sheets might be a gearbox in there somewhere right so this gearbox is I'm not going to say new gearbox cuz it isn't but it's not Hill as original gearbox because hilder's original gearbox was lunched absolutely screwed so basically this gearbox is well the bell housing of it is my original one but everything from here backwards is not because on mine everything from here backwards was knacked well it wasn't everything but basically uh I we don't have unfortunately didn't think to say him don't throw the old bits away but I have a couple of pictures which obviously I can show on the screen the main issue with it we could find was that it looked like it had just massively overheated uh not entirely sure why doesn't make full sense uh he suspects that some of the preloads inside may have been a little bit too tight so obviously as things heat up they expand and if you've got a tolerance on a bearing and then everything heats up that tolerance gets Tighter and Tighter and Tighter and if the bearing gets too hot or the bush in there or whatever you start getting damage I think that's what's happened um the oil was that kind of color because of all the bronze that had kind of melted and broken up and dissolved into the oil um that a lot of the bronze bushes and things inside it were just absolutely wrecked and they had in turn wrecked some of the shafts as well so basically everything here backwards is kind of it's not new but it's like it's used it's like from another box basically uh you know going forward I mean my worry was well is it not going to do it again well firstly I'm not going to drive it around Goodwood flat out secondly I think if it was set a little too tight prolonged high-speed run probably would kill it um and so I won't be doing too many of those when I was going to Goodwood last time I do remember on the way there I thought it was getting a little bit whiny but I was late for the day and I was racing my way there to get there for the the driver brief in and I was pushing on a bit on the a27 and can't help to think I might have been it might have been whining a bit then uh and it had never done that before but of course i' never really sit on a Motorway at pushing on speeds uh for a sustained period of time before if I ever got on a Motorway in this normally you might get a burst where you got up to a high speed but most of the time I'll sit at 60 because it's just so bloody noisy so I wonder perhaps if this is an issue that would have been there from day one had it had that kind of use from day one so yeah this time this one is slightly looser I believe could be slightly whinier slightly knier rattly I don't care if it heats up and it's happy I'm happy longterm what to do um I did think about things like oil coolers and things like that nothing like that is going to get done before rustville uh so the journey that it has to rust ofal if Hilda does make it to rust ofal will be the same kind a journey that a normal hman imp would undertake it would just be 60 MPH very little load going through it regardless of what engine it's connected to that engine's going to be barely more than ticken over well it won't that's a lie it'll be doing 4,000 RPM but there'll be no load on the throttle so shouldn't make a difference as where engine is connected to uh there'll be no spirited driving if it does go to rust it will be basically it'll be the test drive because it'll it'll only just been put back together like a couple of days before why do I always cut these things so fine with this car why is there always a time limit or a deadline so yeah that can go back in but it can't go back in yet because I'm doing stuff at the other end yeah so you can't really see it in here because the lighting is poor but uh there's no back end in there at all I mean the subframe the rear subframe is in there but it's only held on with a couple of bolts uh it otherwise it's loose the only thing still here is some wiring um some of which I I've cut and we'll end up redoing um and some brake pipes which I would quite like to remove and do better because they're not very good I don't I can't remember who did those but um it wasn't me they are pretty ugly so yeah I don't know if I'll get time to do that or not we'll see um but the thing is while the engine's out this is time to do all this it's time to rub down the bulkhead cuz I it's been painted with so many different versions of hammerite or rust Buster or P 15 or whatever and it's just like I just want to take it all off and do it body color in there like it's meant to be but I don't think I'm going to have the time to do it if I choose to take it to rustal so I'm kind of in that in that in between point where you think don't rush this because you don't have the engine out very often that's a lie I do have the engine out often hopefully you won't have the engine out very often so don't rush it do it while it's out do it properly or there's only one rustable this year and I did want to take this and I enjoy driving this car so it's a tough call um basically the back of the car has been stripped down a lot more than it was when you last saw it and the reasons for that is that I've been redoing something that I did a couple of years ago before Goodwood I rushed some stuff last year uh I'll show you we'll go on the other side to show you that one so we're in the cabin and uh oh yeah look at the effect look like a warm effect in here it's just the poor lighting uh so as you can see it is in many pieces now um there's no seat base here at the moment but there is still a seat back rest way back when uh Hilder didn't used to have rear seats at all the coolant pipes for the radiator at the front cuz it has a front mounted radiator normally imps would have a rear one went up over the top of that hump and through the rear bulkhead here which is what most people with an imp who put a front mounted Radiator in do and they foro the rear seats but I didn't want to forgo the rear seats I wanted to put them in cuz I had little kitties and they all like going out no that that sounds dodgy I have children my own and they like going out in this car but they got upset because only one could go at a time and I thought this is ridiculous it's supposed to have four seats so I put all this work in putting the rear seats in and since then they've all grown up now they're too big to go in it so well we'll find out but I don't expect they want to go out with Daddy anymore uh so um I did still put the rear seats in cuz it just looks better that way um but that meant I couldn't run the pipes through the rear bolk head I've touched on this before on a different video so I ran them through here so those pipes there are steel pipes and they're welded to the floor so that one's welded to the seat Mount that one's welded to the front seat Mount there so they're they're not I mean well technically they're structural but they're not really structural it just stops them moving around and vibrating and rubbing into each other and rubbing things don't want them to rub um now what what I did do is the bit you can't really see it cuz it's so dark but under here there's two little ports where it goes through and it meets the rear subframe so you see these two little spigots here uh I did a version of that way back when um before Goodwood uh not last year year before and I did a hatchet job on it I rushed it um because it was you know well this was it here these I made these and yeah they're all a bit yeah that was something that went through it um it was all a bit I was just desperate to get it on and it did get there but it was very difficult to work on uh there was very poor that's the other one there there was very poor access to everything yeah I had have bend them like I haven't got a proper Bender um it was uh yeah the access was bad they leaked so it was leaking coolant that here which wasn't ideal um and I just got sick of it so I thought no so uh I've redone it all because I've got the engine out and to take the rear subframe out you've pretty much got to take the engine out because this gearbox sits in the rear subframe um I thought well it's out now so let's do it let's go for it so I've done it made a lot of changes um made some modifications um we'll see if it works I don't know if it will or it won't I I think it will it's uh an evolution of a plan that I did a way back way back in my head basic basically the rear subframe has the pipes welded into it so the rear subframe is now part of the cooling system which is completely normal uh yeah so we'll see if it works um but there it's all kind of lined up now it's not fully installed but it's pretty much done I've got to take the subframe off and paint it uh I've got to paint the body behind the subframe cuz that's still as it was it's just exactly as it used to be it's just the two small holes in it the pipes post through the pipes post through the holes and end up in here so that's really the only difference but it's all none of it painted it's it's all a bit rough um so I will do that uh what I've also done um I've made a change to the heater circuit the heater circuit the heater circuit never used to work brilliantly um let's bring the car down so the heater circuit never I'm not going to knock this gearbox off um the heater circuit never used to work fantastically well uh the entry and exit to the heat Matrix is there in fact to be honest with you it never used to have the heater even plumbed in it was never even connected uh it was just um yeah just sat there dormant capped off so it never even had a demister or heater or anything now it has that that's that needs fully installing that's just in temporarily to offer some kind of demisting uh cuz the radiator is where the it's behind here where the heater would normally go so or the heater motor would go to blower motor um that is a breather pipe um so basically uh the heat Matrix is behind here and what I done originally because originally in a Helman imp the heater one pipe to The Matrix used to go up one seill and the other side the return or feed whichever way around they were used to go up the other side now Hilda had nothing on the passenger side and on the driver's side had uh some wiring looms and things the ECU so there was nothing I could do uh I didn't want to put more hoses through the car and I thought what I did is I put I made the coolant hoses to the radiator big they're 35 mil uh diameter in in a diameter which for this engine is probably bigger than it needs especially as there's 5 miles of it uh and then what I did is there's a spigot here for the heater and there's a thermostat there uh the thermostat in the engine was removed hoping perhaps somewhat optimistically that the uh then the heater thermostat circuit would extend here and use this as the bypass uh that heater valve there is an onoff switch so it's like hot on for hot or off for cold it just opens or shuts that's it um and yeah hope and then this thermostat here would stay shut until this got hot means the heater would warm up before the radiator Tri operating uh and force it through there it did work say the sorry the return goes up into the head of the tank no that's the return there to the head of the tank it did work um but not amazingly it was sort of like it would go tepid it wouldn't go hot and in the summer obviously that's fine in the winter it was a bit of a pain um I didn't run it like this for very long it was more of a sort of mend and make do with the situation at the time but now I can change it now I've had an opportunity to change it which means I shall be ditching this remote thermostat down here if anyone wants to buy a remote thermostat uh and putting in the original thermostat back in the end engine I'm pointing to the engine bay I don't know why because the engine is there but put the thermostat back in there and then from the heater port on the engine will run yes got a heater hose runs directly from the engine up to the heat Matrix nothing to do with the radiator it goes ouch through that hole so that will connect fluffy just saying uh it goes through there so that will be trimmed and connected to the engine wherever it needs to go and then the other end of it goes as it did uh originally with a helmet imp it goes and quite can see it it's there so that will get plumbed into the heater circuit and then the radiator will be completely separate which means that thermostat down here will go which means the one on the engine will go back in and it will basically behave like the heater in a sax so or a hman imp um would behave the only difference is the return on a hman imp because there was no radiator at the front it had to have a return it had to have the feed and the return well the return isn't going to be here on Hilda because it will return into the header tank so that return circuit will always be flowing as long as the heat is open um it's only the feed circuit that will be thermostatic controlled it it should work I don't know why this is Rusted so badly but none of the others have they're all mild still that one's starting it's not even stainless but one of them is just gone no so yeah so this is the plan so that's not been too difficult I did that in the evening get that hose was a bit of a faf but I got that hose in so yeah hopefully it will start going back together this week I need to paint some stuff but I haven't really got time to do it today I was hoping to do it today but I haven't got time um it's just it's just the time that this thing's taken it's uh I I'm not joking I've spent so long on that sub it's unbelievable uh should Hilda make it to rust of all it will not be a finished car it will not be finished in here there are still things that need doing I suspect the dashboard will look pretty much like it does there aren't it there's supposed to be another bit of carbon fiber that goes over the top of all this to make it look nice but I don't think that'll be done uh hopefully it'll have more carpets than it's got battery that's going in the bin um done some reading and I've had some suggestions actually in the last video about the battery and it looks like that might be although to be fair I think they are the same as this this the one that people are suggesting is what this is It's just that's a branded one and costs a lot more so I shall go the way the other people have suggested because it's non-branded version and is much cheaper uh yeah so with things like that I mean I was like I was hoping to change all this I don't like this I wanted to put the carpeted stuff in with the pockets and the trims and everything but I think that's just going to have to be realistic headlining is minging as well you got the roll cage out to do that so yeah I think we got to be realistic about you know if I wanted to go to rust all I need to be realistic that about you know what I'm going to get done basically those holes there were for the mirror they just got whacked in there because this door these doors are absolute garbage um looks nice doesn't it but it's not the panel fit is terrible they've went to a body shop and the the fellow who did it not the guy who painted it the guy who painted it got a nice finish um but the fellow who did the panel work on it Jesus Christ it's like bubbling up here somewhere cuz it's just filler everywhere there filler in there all around there there was a big chunk of filler in the front Arch that fell out it's rusting again map it so uh yeah nothing lines up the doors don't line up at all shape of them completely wrong so um yeah bit of a bummer but there you go so yeah I've got two two good doors they're probably not good anymore cuz I had them shot blasted and then they've just been sat around so they're probably knacking K now um so yeah basically that's that's the state hilders in I hope it'll be at rustal uh 9th of March at the Great British motor museum I think it is or the British motor museum the one in gayen the one where they've got loads of stuff um hopefully Hilda will be there if not it'll be a C6 uh yeah well that's pretty much all I've got on Hilda um yeah I've done I've done tons on it I've I've been putting loads of hours into it all in the evenings and as well so my home life is just like non-existent at the moment can't afford to work on it during work time I've got to work on customer stuff I can't afford not to so yeah if it's there it's there if it's not it's not but I'm trying it won't be for a lack of trying if it's not there it'll be somewhere else it's got to be done it's got to come off the ramp cuz it's already on the ramp way longer than it's meant to be i' had to reschedule two jobs already but yeah hopefully see you at rustal should be a really good event sounds sounds great actually some there's some cool people going right range of cars anything there there's no rules on cars at all nothing all these stupid little car meets and shows where they have like oh it can't be older than I can't be newer than this or it can't be it's got I mean there's one around here where like it's got have more than 400 horsepower what you know this one's just like no if you like the car you can come in if you're into cars or you just want to see some cars or you love your car just bring it in doesn't matter what it is not everyone in there is going to love it there's going to be probably loads of modern stuff that I'll just be like it doesn't matter there'll be some people in there who do it's a mix it's a you know it's something for everyone yeah I think it's a really good idea uh rustal and I'm looking forward to going and hopefully hild will be the car there so uh hopefully see you there um I don't think I'll be having much of a stall on the go they've said you can have a stall and bring you mer there you go merch look said you can have a store and bring your merch and things but I haven't really got I don't really keep stock of anything it's all done to order so might have some stickers and things I'll see I'll see probably not got much time to sort it too busy working on this yeah sorry it's not a proper working on a car video it's just I haven't got i' I've not had time to film and work on the car at the same time so hopefully that will resume after rust ofal after rust ofal when hopefully Hilder is done uh TVR will be coming soon cuz I need to get that moving um and then when the TV's done and I've got one of my other cars to do on my own cars on the I don't know if you've seen the new car I talked about if you have that one if you haven't you'll find out what I mean um yeah I don't know what order I'm putting this out in and then eventually when those are all sorted I can finally get on the SM that's the plan so just need to get these done first so anyway I'm going to stop talking and go home and edit [Music] this

ANNIE'S DESTRUCTION OF THE CITY! | Attack on Titan REACTION Episode 24
what's going on guys my name is jack you can call me yesterday welcome back to a brand new video today we have episode 24 of our attack on titan watch through i mean guys the last episode is it set everything up for the final two episodes of the season willie what do you think what do you predict is gonna happen with this this whole confrontation here's here's the problem with that question jack is that if i say a dumb ass answer i'm gonna get flame okay the female titan is gonna go in titan form hook up with another titan and live her life happy ever after i don't know i like the ironic safe response because that way it's very clear that you're not serious unless you are actually you're serious aren't you either way it's gonna be a good one like i said because we saw the transformation we found out who the spy was after all this time and now the whole confrontation has come to this climax hopefully we'll see what happens this episode nonetheless these last two are going to be great if you're new to the channel drop us up and hit that big boy bell as per usual willy is linked down below and uh let's just let's just hop right into it oh yeah anyways drink of choice today we have another truly today we have raspberry lime okay at this point they all just taste the same i'm not even kidding life is pain everything just my life is it's a cycle oh hey this is the castle that we're in hand okay so this is right before he was escorted i see they skipped over everything so quickly actually yeah this makes way more so they would actually go through it [Music] now i kind of see the nose i kind of see it no that no no jack that nose on the titan is way better it's it's better yeah true like in terms of proportions yo rip all those people that jumped on her trying to restrain her how long is your arm i'll leave you all yeah my an explosion moment the ring oh my gosh well what's the plan from here yeah i was trying to say is there even a backup plan yeah that worked the first time i think yeah that worked really well the first time yeah really good she's definitely not insanely experienced as a titan i did not like that shaky cam clearly brother she's the titan of the titan outside oh yep sorry bud you're done he knows playing a failed now you think i think he knows now yeah okay could be it was like a whole thing how she wanted to keep him alive [Music] do you think this is like td like titan dysfunction like instead of a reptile instead of eating he can't get it up yeah guys i swear it doesn't always happen he's gotta go to there we gotta get a rite aid dude just take me there i'm like his heart isn't like quote in it like he doesn't have a clear goal because the clear goal is eating his thumb off [Music] but doesn't he care more about protecting them i'm sure he's a little flustered i think i think the nerves are happening remember when annie was crying when they got away oh yeah uh he figured it out all the way then literally everything else jesus kind of a bold strat imagine if it wasn't her just pulled everything just like lure her into like one place and just like i mean i guess it wouldn't really hurt would it i don't know if you're losing anything yeah yeah he said uh right before she like wiped his head off he said uh oh her fighting style oh he did know well this is big brain this is huge [Music] it's like a very strong exaggeration on the eyes more and more what are people on the surface thinking right now like there's a straight up a titan like just destroying following the parade dude yeah this is just going on a whole different sector i want to see other people's reactions to this like like higher ups and stuff dude do you think he's going to like turn into a titan randomly who eric like throw up yeah because remember last time with the spoon oh true i don't know because since his goal isn't clear to him or he still has like hesitations oh [ __ ] the surprises wait but she can't kill him i thought she wants him a lot i don't think she cares anymore dude yeah well no because they said it was like bold like that makes her more formidable and she'll take these gambles i don't know maybe she knows that she can't kill him or something maybe she knows something we don't like he's too strong yeah yo i mean very brave brave is a good word what's suicidal [Music] oh my god he's literally dead dude yes always covering the nape i hate that word i don't know why i hate that word it just sounds weird yeah no one notices that there's just a titan walking around your city dude go back up they're all gonna get swiped okay with with those three she has probably some hesitations about killing them everyone else [Music] ah that's awkward you're not aaron i like how they just don't even question it he just dips they're just like what no way that wasn't really airy that's a pretty fancy box yeah what the heck urban's like odm is crazy looking gucci odm oh come on [Music] wait did he give up his stuff no they held irvin behind i think gene got away why can you only stop her wait what i'm totally fine with her dying oh yeah i didn't even think about that like fighting against the titan that uses the odm knows exactly like where you're gonna be nice come on [Music] with that he has tdd [Music] this will knock it into him even though i think he's literally knocked out right now [Music] dude wait he's actually dead and that actually pierced his heart telling you she knows something we don't do what about how he's like he can live through more yeah i feel like he can maybe since he's able to transform [Music] right now i don't understand i guess it's like a foreign thing to them though like other people that have to deal with actual titan attacks like they know what to do like these people are like probably shocked i still don't understand why she works against like humankind i guess that's like the bigger picture though [Music] crazy girl dude no she does have the crazy look oh wait that's like the same thing for them yeah i was about to say dude how are you behind that that's some split second sh right there dude that's like that's like you playing on 60fps and guessing one frame oh my gosh wait a spike mat okay if this can't hold her back i don't even understand dude titan roar dude no she can't now i know i know i know hey let's go swinsey was overkill [Music] oh my god imagine that being the last thing you look out for you die dude before you enter the gates of hell you see so oh before you go to the gulag yo you didn't restrain her legs no that's deadass through his heart bro it's not his arm come on i don't know okay maybe not his heart but probably a fatal spot his mom and that that is definitely fatal actually yeah yeah sure oh my god oh my god [Music] they're splinters that's what you're thinking of right now he's going to come out of nowhere it's like around the corner oh that's what mikasa told him oh my god oh she knows i like the shot of the cat just fighting yeah oh there he goes [ __ ] you oh my god creepy that's cool dude guys that is going to be it for this episode huge cliffhanger next episode is literally the end of season one i'm excited to finish it off with you guys it'll be up on patreon on sunday and up on youtube on tuesday very excited to see how it wraps things up and then we're kicking it off with season two next week right away no stopping no pop in the breaks but if you guys can't really tell me and lily are enjoying the heck out of this series i'm freaking pumped to see how this fight between aaron and annie is going to go honestly very worried for the outcome because i mean the politics involved the of the government involved i'm not sure their place in all of this because i'm pretty sure annie is working for some higher up people but whatever the result of this fight is has such a long lasting impact that i don't know where we're gonna go with that being said i hope you guys did enjoy this episode be sure to drop your comments down below when we thought of the episode what you thought of our reaction as always i hope you guys have a wonderful yesterday as per usual and i'll catch you in

Romberg Test
so the romberg test assesses if the patient is swaying at all so first we'll just have them stand there and then just observe and see if they're swaying at all with their eyes open and that looks pretty good here so now please close your eyes and we'll observe for swaying what you can do is put your hands around the patient so in case they feel a little unsteady in case they were to be a little bit wobbly that you would be able to catch them but in this case there's no swing so that is normal the normal romberg

SCP IT Department vs killer Microwaves and laptop Parrots! SCP New Technical issues Archive (2012)
Hey Rosen, I just installed enabled wireless access on one of my younger robots and you know how it is, it seems like a good idea to connect to random access points because viruses only hit bad robots. Long story short, despite programming it to always monitor downloads and make safe connections, I think my robot may have contracted E-AIDS. Anything you can do to help? - Junior Research Assistant Dr. Gravity Here's my advice: Tell your robot to get itself defragmented and to inform all the data ports it may have interfaced with over the last month to get themselves scanned. It's the responsible thing to do. ~Rosen Do EMPs work on those damn kids skateboarding on my street? If so, can we use one? -Research Assistant Reject EMPs only nail electronic stuff. Unless those teens are androids, that wouldn't work. I would recommend using an actual magnet, a large one, and have it target the screws holding their wheels together, or however those deathtraps work. I'll refer you to engineering for any help you need getting that set up. ~Rosen Do EMPs work on jail guards? -Research Assistant Reject Rosen, do me a favor and re-enable my status. Pat was a jackass lunatic, but he was thorough. I've been dodging misdirected "demonstrationtion to D-class" orders since Pat threw his hissy fit. Also, I may or may not have sent this through someone else's workstation, as mine has attempted to kill me on three different occasions despite not having any self-propelling mechanism. ~ Dr. Martin Engineer Kap Yeah… about that. Y'see, Pat was pretty anal about his security protocols. So much so, that he didn't disengage them before he mysteriously disappeared. I've been going through his notes to try and find what he actually did, but most of it is just him ranting about somebody names "Dumont the Destroyer" and long winded eulogies about pudding. The best I can do is transfer you to work that exempts you from the monthly execution until I can get this figured out. How does "Procedure 110-Montauk" sound? ~Rosen Hey Rosen, my computer was being a little slow a minute ago, so I tried to increase the voltage that the computer received to around 10 kW more. I thought it made sense because more power makes more energy, right? Well, it didn't work. I tried looking online for a fix, and they suggested I delete something called win32. After doing that, I kept getting errors or something like that. A colleague of mine told me he could format the BIOS for me, and I graciously accepted; yet that still did not work. I have tried many fixes, and right now my computer is kind of on fire. I'm not worried about that, though. How can I make my computer work again, maybe to where I can make it faster? ~ Dr. Taylor Try to download some more RAM. If that doesn't work, reformat your ZIP drive. If all else fails, reboot it twice and call me in the morning. ~Rosen Rosen, for some reason, my inbox keeps getting spam sent to it. The strangest thing about it is that they all say something along the lines of, "To the Past Me: X", with the the X being something mundane that apparently has 'harsh consequences on the future'. I've done all the things that it says will cause 'the disruption of the timeline', and so far nothing of ill consequence has happened. Should I chalk this up as a prank, or should I be worried? ~Dr. Nyehcat I wouldn't worry about it, going over your personnel file there's no way that you're ever going to be doing anything of consequence so your future self, or one of your co-workers, is probably just playing a joke on you. ~Rosen Hey Rosen, should I take the red pill or the blue pill? ~Dr. Epsilon If strange men in trenchcoats are offering you pills, you have bigger issues to worry about then what your friendly neighborhood tech support thinks. ~Rosen MY CAPS LOCK KEY IS STUCK WHAT DO I DO? ~Dr. Edison TRY HOLDING DOWN THE SHIFT KEY WHILE TYPING UNTIL I CAN REQUISITION YOU A NEW KEYBOARD. PERHAPS SEE IF ONE OF YOUR COWORKERS WILL LOAN YOU ONE. IF YOU CAN, TRY TO UNSTICK THE BUTTON. OR JUST START SHOUTING ALL THE TIME WHEN YOU TALK TO PEOPLE, SO THEY READ YOUR TEXT IN YOUR LOUD VOICE. ~ROSEN Saluto te, Rosen. In nomine Patris et Eber et Spiritus sancti, quaeso. Ego sum habens difficultatem usura artificio anima inspectionem quod dicitur ad Site XIX. Ut scitis, nostri doctrinis enim continentiam de quaedam requiram illa actiones a humana singulorum qui demonstrationnstrare appropraite gradu pietatis. Dum normalis usu fuerat confirmare et temptare fidem pertinet singulorum per inquisitionem, nostri reductiones in numerum elit non requiritur uti processus mechanica et electrica ad automate inquisitio. Nostri artificio inquisitionem non ipsos proprie. Consilium ergo asserit apostolus et ego nego tamen verbi Filioque vel haereticus. Hoc est non ita. Arte possunt reparari per inpositionem manus aut exorcismi opus? Vestrum in Christi, Pater Gomez, SJ. Capellanus, Institutum XIX If you're looking for an exorcist you've really come to the wrong place. If you don't mind doing things God might find displeasurable, like allowing undead tin zombies to possess your stuff, I'm sure the Church of the Broken God would be all over that like cultist flies on a holy shit. ~Auxillium Hello, Mr. Rosen: I have many names. My operator has named me Belu the Unwavering, even when I insisted on being named my natural name. I am sending this message to you for help. Get me away from this maniac, Dr. Taylor. He tries to insert baloney into my CD drive, even when I plead him not to. This ridiculous name that he has assigned me has been burned into my artificial memory. His browser history is enough to drive one into madness. He drops food all over the monitor and keyboard. As Technical Researcher, I hope you will take pity on a sentient computer and re-assign me to another, more competent user. -Belu the Unwavering I have requisitioned Dr. Taylor ANOTHER computer. His old computer has been put into storage and cataloged as an anomalous object until such a time comes when I have a use for a snobby computerbox. Any more of these, Taylor, and you're going to be paying for them. ~Rosen Dear Sir, It seems our correspondence route with our own technical support has fallen victim to a temporal anomaly. We of the American Security Containment Initiative can do very little to remedy this and would much appreciate assistance from your end. Regards, B. Franklin, ASCI Researcher Nice try, But I happen to know that Benjamin Franklin was mourning the death of his wife Deborah in 1774, and would not have had the time to look into computerbox tech-y matters. Checkmate, fake news. ~Rosen My Deborah? Dead? This year? Bloody Hell, man! When? B. Franklin, ASCI Researcher You're a smart guy, you'll figure it out. ~Rosen Roseman, my pornography collection got erased from my Gateway. Can you retrieve it? -Agent Convit Look over here, we got ourselves a wise guy. Well, Mr. Convit, I regret to inform you that your computers files were all irretrievable, so I had your computer disposed of. Not to worry, because this time tomorrow a brand-new e-machine will arrive at your desk, just for you. You're welcome. As for the [REDACTED] on your drive… you're a sick man. Not criminally sick, but sick nonetheless. ~Rosen Rosen, another problem that may or may not be related to Senior Staff Shenaningans. Someone did an in-place reinstall of every one of my computers (including my personal laptop, somehow), made Internet Explorer 7 the default and only browser, and revoked my software-installation permissions on all of them. As my work requires extra precautions against drive-by downloads and other viruses, I need Firefox reinstalled (or at least unlock my account so I can do it myself), because AdBlock Plus is the only workable solution I've found to prevent them from even reaching the system, since the antivirus won't catch it in time to prevent [DATA EXPUNGED] (How the heck did they get access to my laptop? It's at home, for crying out loud!). - Dr. Okagawa It seems your problem is that your computer is too desirable, and people keep messing with it as a result. As such, I have replaced your computers with a complete suite of WebTV applications. Then I went ahead and replaced the laptop with a Commodore PET. Then I forgot what I came in your office to do, so I ate your lunch and called it a day. I hope it solves your tampering issues. ~Rosen The janitor's Roomba won our damn NCAA bracket. Can you deactivate it so that I can claim my rightful prize? -Agent Convit Dude, the Roomba has had that bracket on lock for the last 4 years. Don't see why you're so upset. And even if I wanted to deactivate it, the Ethics Committee says that would make your office a hazardous working environment. Just let it go. ~Rosen Rosen, That damn D-Class dropped me into an email on 713 and sent it to my own laptop. GET ME OUT OF HERE! -A pissed off researcher. I guess I'll just go through every laptop on-site looking for you, since it must be urgent if you don't tell me who or where you are! I'll be right on it. ~Rosen Hey Rosy, my computer terminal stole my vuvuzela somehow. Tell me if you see it about, won't you? - Junior Agent Lucas Good news- I killed two birds with one stone by fixing both of your problems. Bad News- The stone in that analogy is the big rock I keep in my office, and the birds were your computer and monitor. So… yeah. Problem solved. ~Rosen So I found my friend's computer, and I decided to "hack" it. So instead of writing that they're gay on their Facebook, I'm going to put porn on their laptops! Aren't I being incredibly clever and hilarious and original! -Agent Convit See, I know you're lying to me Convit, because we're not so different you and I. Friendless, alone, about the only difference is my obsession is puttering around with old computers and yours are pornographic pursuits. The difference between us being, my skills aren't going to get me fired when tech support reports me for workplace sexual harassment. ~Rosen Rosen, I know what you're thinking… "why does Taylor insist on writing to me? Does he need a Gateway today again? Well, no, but I still need help. See, I'm not the superstitious kind of guy, so to keep the meddlers out, I tried to make a machine that would drop a step-ladder on anyone who walked into my office. Unfortunately, I forgot about this and did not turn it off before entering. Long story short, I have a splitting headache (though that may just be the stitches above my skull breaking), there's a video starring Sasha Grey on my computer (which is now covered in what I could only hope as rather viscous milk), and my pants are nowhere to be found. Talk about bad luck! So, Rosen, what do? ~Dr. Taylor NOTE TO ALL PERSONNEL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN Dr. Taylor is officially banned from requisitioning any new equipment from the IT department. After 3 separate towers, 4 monitors, and god knows how many repairs, I am throwing in the towel. Taylor, you will have to make do with what you have. ~Rosen Um…hey, say…hypothetically… someone were to coat a desktop with 447 goop, where would it take the most trouble to get off? - Assistant Researcher Fairbairn Why would you want to get that stuff removed? As long as your desk isn't made of dead bodies, it's going to give you fantastic performance increases… actually scratch that, your computer is ruined and I've requisitioned you a replacement. Come by my office anytime to pick it up and drop the old one off. ~Rosen The Dreadlords of the Unspoken Citadel require additional Akashic Glyphs to properly contain excess ether produced by the epic necromantic rituals used to keep THE SCREAMING MAN! bound within Gaspar's Revenants. The glyphs must be sent via carrier pigeon in the dead of night no sooner than all hollows eve, for fear of awaking Those Who Sleep Beyond Dreams. - Xifax Lightbane, Foundation Grand Dredlord Dr. Edro, did you get into the 420-J again? ~Rosen Ever heard of 'wheeking'? It's a sound that guinea pigs make. Unfortunately, it's not a sound that the voice commands accept on my computer. Or any computer for that matter. Do you know how hard it is to type on a full-sized keyboard when you're 22cm in length? -S███████ I have ordered you a novelty sized keyboard that should fit your…needs. It's basically a big slab of plastic, it's supposed to be peanut-butter proof so you can run around and push buttons and let loose the… things guinea pigs make to your hearts content! You're welcome. ~Rosen There is //bodily fluids on my things heeelp.// -Agent Convit There are stupids on my page heeelp. ~Rosen I'm not sure if you're the one I should be talking to about this, but there appears to be a large, angry squid inside my monitor. The problem is, it just gets… let's say "uncooperative"… when I try to get it out. Should I try something else, or just ignore it and hope it goes away? -Dr. Marvel That is a screen-saver, Dr. Marvel. There are no sea creatures living in your computer. Remember when we had our little talk over the "crazy ball" that was bouncing around in there, or when the computer had frozen your family and was holding them hostage on an exact copy of your timeshare in Bangor? This is like that. ~Rosen Okay, how about, could you either get me a keyboard small enough for a guinea pig to use easily, or have the computer systems recognize wheeking as voice commands? The huge keyboard just made things worse. -S███████ I'm still not sure what wheeking is, but we've got some pretty universal noise-to-text software. I've sent a copy your way, along with a standard headset-mic setup. Hope that works out for you! ~Rosen Hello, IT. We are down at Site-██, Memetics Lab 12C. And we were wondering if there is a way to revert a desktop background image without looking at the screen? It seems someone opened a rather nasty Visual Memenetic and managed to set it to the background. This would normally not be a problem, but several files are needed on the hard drive. We've already lost several researchers, and the first tech that tried. For now the screen is unplugged, but we have no way of resetting the desktop. Help? -Junior Assistant Researcher M██████ (Current Acting Head Researcher of Memetics Lab 12C Step 1. Remove hard drive. Step 2. Place monitor on a flat, dry surface, away from pets or small children. Step 3. Obtain hammer. Step 4. Apply percussive maintenance to monitor with maximum velocity. ~Rosen The public printer near the cafeteria convinced me to build it limbs and a mobile power supply. After which it took my stun gun and left me on the ground drooling. When I came to it was gone, so basically I'm asking if you have you seen that traitorous little recall? -Assistant Emon Tagged and bagged my friend. Next time, try not to be so susceptible to a printer promising marble cake in exchange for "frikin' sweet augs." ~Rosen Hey did one of you guys see that new guy in IT come by just a few days ago? This chainsaw is starting to get kinda heavy… -Agent Convit …Groovy. ~Rosen Um, Rosen, the microwave in the eating quarters came to life again. Unplugging it didn't work this time. It's trying to kill me, apparently because I put that fork inside of it that one time. I'm currently hiding on top of the refrigerator, but I don't think I'll be safe for long. HELP! -Dr. Nyehcat …Have you tried to, y'know, walk away from it? Microwaves aren't exactly renown for their mobility… ~Rosen MEMORANDUM TO ALL STAFF As of 6/25/2012, Senior Technical Researcher David Rosen has been temporarily relieved from his duties due to ongoing behavioral and disciplinary infractions that have recently come to light. Asshole thinks he can get away with putting those files on the net. As such, Doctors Adam Taylor and A. Courpse will be handling the department until he returns. They will also take care of his backlog. ~Director Tilda D. Moose I DEMAND POPCORN AND VIRGINS! -The Microwave Greetings, O Great and Powerful Master of Electro-Magnetic Waves, Fiend of Appliances and Bane of Meatloaf. Attached to this document are 517 individual popcorn kernels, as required by Foundation protocol regarding the maintenance and sustenance of malicious sentient kitchenware (See Attached Documents 127-F-1287 and SGD-133774-ND). The 'virgins' that you have requested will be delivered to your facility upon completion and delivery of forms 1362-182-(A-N), 2HF-3-1723N, 163722-IHFT-1928-(A-F), and 282331-1223-122144323 Sections 232-578. All deliveries of said forms must be made within seven (7) business days via Foundation First-Class parcel post to Foundation Appliance Maintenance, located within sub-level G of Site-██. All forms must be completed by hand in triplicate using a black-ink roller-ball type .5mm pen. We appreciate your cooperation in this matter and hope that you are successful in your endeavors. ~A. Courpse I'm getting a "An Ethernet cord has become disconnected" error here. Everything is connected on my end, so I'm guessing this might be a problem in your server room or however these things work. Any idea? I have some file work that needs to be sent to another Site, so the sooner the better. - Field-Agent Beam Yeah, 'bout that. I recommend you send it through the parcel post. Maybe put it on one of those disk-y thingy if it's too much data for a floppy. Things might take a bit to sort out on the server end, Rosen got a bit drunk and messed about a bit with the wiring before he left. ~ A. Courpse Who is your favorite black person? -Agent Convit I… what? This is not technical. ~ A. Courpse Researcher Eisenberg here. Some fuck messed with my computer as a part of some fucking prank, must have been during lunchtime. I'm not particularly eager to use Ubuntu 10.04, especially since the fucking automatic sampler only has drivers for Solaris 8. Well, had, since all the files in my home folder are currently named LYNX.LNX.some-fucking-number. Need it fixed somehow before the next set of samples need to be run through at 4. Thanks in advance. -Agent LYNX Hey Eisenstein, so I heard you needed a new computator. Thing is, I don't really know what a Ubuntu is, nor am I even sure which language that word originates from. Is it Swahili? I bet it's Swahili. It's almost always Swahili. Anyway, since we don't have any of those, I went into the store room and got you something to stand in till you can get that Cat-Based one sorted. It's uh….. Victor something. 20? I don't really know. The label's sort of weird-like. Anywho, enjoy. ~A. Courpse DAMMIT this is not fair! I've been trying to get myself reinstated as something above janitor level ever since that whole business with Pat, and now I find out other people are getting the assignments!? What does a man have to DO when it's been confirmed that he was wrongly demonstrationted just to get bumped back up!? On another note, since I've had to choose between leaving the Foundation and dealing with my current duties, I've decided to tough it out. Can someone replace the electronic lock on Supply Closet 3-B? It shouldn't even have a speaker on it, but every time I unlock it the thing yells at me in German. - FORMER Technical Engineer Kap I find that on the rare occasion that a man such as yourself, being of the janitorial persuasion, seeks to make great gains within this by all means indifferent and bureaucratic organization of ours, the best thing to do is raise yourself up by the boot straps, put on a brave face, get down to the nitty gritty, and sabotage the competition. Put smart bombs in their Cap-N-Crunch, add Vaseline to their gun-cleaner, heck, just go along and pop a needle chock full of a little bit of liquid cyanide between their oh-so-comfy covers. You do whatever it takes son, whatever it takes. In regards to your secondary (but of equal import) aquestionation, I recommend that you get Mr. Klopson down in engineering to have a look at the fellow. If anyone knows sentient-cabinetry of German make, it'll be Klopson. I heard that he once talked a deranged ceiling fan off a ledge. Yup, that Klopson is one heck of a talker. Shame that most everything he says is jibberish. Best Regards ~A. Courpse Note: I don't know what the damned date is Can someone let me out of here? It's dark, cold and very boring. Also, my chains are really starting to chafe. ~Rosen Rosen, for the last time, take off those chains. We've told you time and time again that we're not bringing you anyone who's "down for some kinky business" at all. If you didn't bring the damned key in with you, then you deserve to chafe until you can be cleared. Also, how did you manage to get network access in an isolation chamber? Lemme know. -Dr. Taylor What's the best way of getting a computer keyboard out of a tank of… you know? - Dr. Edison Getting it out by yourself, because there's no way that I'm doing it. Oh, what a shame, we ran out of gloves just a couple of seconds ago, while you were reading this reply rather than getting the gloves that I never told you about. People just don't know how to do things themselves, honestly. -Dr. Taylor So, I was playing around with some beakers the lab boys gave me and I accidentally turned my parrot into a laptop. Should I shoot it or keep it? It keeps saying it will have the fall of humanity soon. -Agent Thesson. Well, I wouldn't recommend hooking the little monster up to any ICBMs, if that's what you mean. All in all though, most Sentient/Malicious computational devices tend to be relatively harmless, just so long as the computer isn't too powerful and doesn't have a robo-gun hooked up to it. Tell ya what, if it works, keep it, and if it demands crackers, give it crackers. Just don't you be hooking that abomination up to the network. You would not believe the kind of sick bullshit a parrot looks at in its free time. ~A. Courpse Having issues with SCP-NET. Whenever I try to submit a report, the program freezes then BSODs. - Clef. Well, I don't really know what the problem could be, the program itself is usually pretty solid. It is, however, possible that you've got some sort of vir[EXTERNAL USER DISCONNECT: ERROR-8HGDSY67687SDG: FEED ME CRACKERS] ~A.Courpse SQRAAAAK! Hey, do you know why my code sequences keep getting re-written? I've got them backed up on the server, but I think one of the other researchers, or a skip are recompiling, and screwing with my recursive algorithms. Now half the hotlinks on the server are down, and there's …a bunch of blinky lights next to a couple of the containment displays. Also, the algorithms have filled up 67 petabytes with junk data, that I can't erase. No hurry though. -Technician Bryant 67 petabytes? Shouldn't be too hard to erase. Just open up a task manager and… Wait, a petabyte is apparently pretty damn huge, according to this guide. Huh, one petabyte is a million gigabytes! Anyway, I have dealt with this before. Just use my 5-Step Program to Fixing a Computer: (results may vary) 1) Practice your backswing a little. 2) Go to the tallest point in the facility near an unbroken window. 3) Put your defective piece of hardware on your tee. 4) Draw a smiley face on the window. Spray paint or Sharpie, either will do. 5) Smash the window's face in with the hardware, then ask Rosen to give you a new one. -Dr. Taylor I know that I'm bad with any sort of coding, but I don't even know how this could possibly happen. I was tweaking the code on one of my programs to find out why it was running all weird, and now there's an image on my monitor of what looks like Winnie the Pooh stuck in a hole with the words "HELP I'M STUCK" written above it in a book typeface. I didn't want to requisition another computer since it would be a hassle and this one's probably still perfectly functional, but I still need to finish my work and I can't see a damned thing with a huge animated bear ass in the way. Could you get rid of it please? -Junior Researcher Chibi Chances are, you activated the "Feed Bear Honey" subroutine somewhere along the way. Now he's too fat to get out of the hole. You'll have to wait a while for him to slim down. By no means are you to feed him any more honey, no matter how much he pleads. There's no telling what he can do if he reaches critical honey mass, but I can very certainly guess they'll make a Godzilla-style documentary based off of it. I imagine that Oprah Winfrey will guest star in it. -Dr. Taylor AAAA! A-A!-A! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! AAAAAAAAAAAAA! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! -AAAAAAAAA! Congratulations, brave and noble hacker, through your intelligent and clever use of intellect and raw, unadulterated cunning you have successfully left me completely dumbfounded and at an utter loss for words. Seriously though, I don't think you understand. This. Is. Officially. The Most. Intelligent. Thing. I. Have. Ever. Seen. Men could live for centuries, for millennia, gathering the knowledge and wisdom of their lands and many others, and still not reach the level of ability that is presented here. The magnificence of the thing, the sheer wonder that such a majestic creation can bestow upon us lowly and unworthy mortals, is far beyond the grasp of a mere man such as myself. I would thank you, but I believe to even involve myself with thee within society would be to ask too much, for I feel that one of such ability as yours is not fit for communication with mere men. Please, fine sir, do not attempt to contact me again. I feel that the magnificence of your presence would be too much for myself to bare. ~A. Courpse Hypothetically, in the instance that one of the janitors were to wander into a lab and be digitized by a combination of experiments which were in the room completely coincidentally, and then in another completely unrelated accident uploaded to an unknown network through a number of proxies. Which disk of SCP-335 would said janitor most likely be stored upon and what would be the best method of retrieval? This is a purely hypothetical situation of course, and I am, of course, completely not at fault for this having occurred around noon in this completely imaginary situation. -Assistant Emon Had this hypothetically happened at exactly 12:14 PM and had you supposedly been around and unwilling to aid your fellow co-worker, then I would suggest looking for the one with that might have his name on it. Of course, if you had coincidentally been recorded by yours truly, and if you perhaps enjoyed living, then I would very highly recommend that you go to room 386 with around $2,000 in fifty dollar bills. Come alone. Hypothetically. Dr. Taylor TOTALLY NOT DR. TAYLOR My computer is literally shitting itself. Wat do. -Dr. G.W. It appears that your computer has caught a virus of some variety, possibly of extra-dimensional origin, that has resulted in a severe case of the runs. Personally, I recommend that you buy yourself a new computer, but according to Foundation Protocol Document TD:132725-AYWT it is required that in the event of an extra-normal technical ailment or flaw, the affected machine be submitted to the research department for study. Personally, I recommend the office of Dr. Hendrickson, largely on account of him having consumed a sandwich from the break room that was quite clearly labeled as belonging to someone else. Make sure to sanitize your desk as well. ~A. Courpse Hey Taylor and Courpse- First off, congrats, hope Rosen didn't leave any land mines. What did happen to him anyway? But I digress… My problem is this-I walked away from my computer to get a drink. I come back, and some bastard has shoved a banana into the tower. Before I req a new one, is there any fix? Also, since the sniggering two offices down kinda hints as to who did it, best way to beat the crap out of somebody without it being known? -Dr. Ax [External Override: Meso-J-9099-87461530-SECURENETvI] …Loading …Access granted. Well, you know what they say. You can't keep a good researcher down. Especially when you don't change the passwords. I mean seriously? wordpass123 is not a secure passcode for the brig cell bay. But I digress. I would recommend running fruitofthedoom.exe on any affected drives. That should eject any buildup of fruit matter from the system. As for your wiseguy co-worker, have you tried introducing him to my favorite fruit, a tomato? ~Rosen Rosen, you've returned! Welcome back, your idea worked. Thanks! Feel bad for the janitor assigned to cleanup though…. -Dr. Ax Glad to hear it, if you've gotten anything that might help prove my innocence, that'd be just… a real good way to make it up to me. ~Rosen I'm petitioning to organize an on-site Bring Your Kids to Work Day. Does the security software attached to the server allow for the installation of additional programs across the board? - Junior Rsr. Walsh Okay, I have no idea about the security thing, but you want to take your kids to work? A place where the smallest twitch of the smallest muscle can result in multiple fatalities, adult and children? Not to mention the possibility of one of them wandering their way into a terrible, terrible place that could mentally scar them for however many lives they could go through with the knowledge of the evil we contain? Where do I sign? -Dr. Taylor Say, I'm sending a couple of the robotic speedboats with grabber arms into the Danube delta to catch something that seems to cause death to everyone within 40 metres of it. My postdoc is an serious gamer - can we hook up the robots to a PS3 controller to make chasing it while firing tranquilizer darts easier? -Dr. Gallow I tried to do that, but it seems that nothing worked. So I picked up some random junk from Rosen's personal stuff and hit it with a hammer until the wires went in. That didn't work either, but I did find an RC remote controller. Do what you can with it. Hopefully, Rosen won't miss those things I hit with a hammer; that being all of them. — -Dr. Taylor— World's worst assistant. I hate you so much right now Taylor. ~Rosen NOTICE: As it has been proven that Researcher Rosen was not, in fact, responsible for the presence of gross data on his drives, he has been reinstated with the apologies of administration for the trouble. Anybody with information on the perpetrator should report it to their supervisor immediately. — Director Tilda D. Moose Dammit, since when do security bots know how to use Wii remotes? And since when do said remotes move junior researchers? I've been ducking under the nuts all day! -Dr. Ax It appears that some of Dr. Taylor's…. creations have spread outside of the tech support offices. Not to worry, because my crack team of Whacknicians℠ are busy deploying highly sophisticated and not at all mallet related decommissions on all rogue equipment. ~Rosen Dear Rosen, My I-Phone was infected with some kind of bug, and now it won't stop buzzing around my office, please tell me what to do. -Researcher Quandary Your phone appears to have been set to the "vibrate" function. The buzzing sound was somebody attempting to contact you. I have since changed your ringtone and all of the alert tones to some soothing Mongolian throat singing. You can thank me later. ~Rosen Hey Rosen, I'm having a bit of a problem with the computer in my office. Over the past few days, I've been hearing a "tink-ing" sound coming from somewhere. I got back from lunch today, and I could have sworn the pointer was tapping against the screen. It looks like there's a tiny crack in the corner where it was doing this. Not quite sure what I'm dealing with here. -Agent Ferrus YOUR COMPUTER HAS A VIRUS MADE BY ZOMBIES THAT TURNS PEOPLE WHO STARE AT IT TOO LONG INTO ZOMBIES SO YOU HAVE TO DESTROY THE COMPUTER AND ANY ZOMBIES ITS MADE BEFORE ITS TOO LATE. I WOULD SUGGEST USING DUCK TAPE ON AN KYAAK THING AND SOME CAINSAWS LIKE IN DEAD RISING TOO AND USING IT TO KILL THE ZOMBIES BEACUSE THAT WOULD BE AWESUM. ~ASSISTANT TECHNICAL RESEARCHER JAMES, AGE 8. Who let kids in here? I've replaced your monitor. ~Rosen Mr. Rosen, I was recently diagnosed with explosive carpal tunnel syndrome (long story involving a body-mod SCP) and would appreciate it if I could get an ergonomic keyboard and mouse. After the last 2 times my hands were blown off by micro-explosions in my wrists, the Medical Department says they won't re-attach them again. - Prof. Bjornsen Certainly. I've spoken to the boys downstairs, and we've come up with the perfect solution. This keyboard is so tough, that even if your wrists were blown to smithereens only inches away from the QWERTY, it wouldn't even have a scratch. Also, we've used the same technology we use to clean up after those messy SCP's to make it chunk-proof, so when your hands go flying due to a premature detonation, you can be satisfied with the knowledge that your keyboard will still be fully functional. ~Rosen Dear Rosen, It hurts when I pee. Not quite sure what I'm dealing with here. -Agent Convit That's what you get for dryhumping Herpesbot. ~Rosen My computer keeps flashing white every two minus, and opening random tabs. I don't know what's going on, but it seems to be causing weird edits to any report I'm typing up at the time. The text changes color, font and size, and what's worse, my Britishisms keep being changed to Americanisms. -Researcher Lloyd The software error you are experiencing is called "autocorrect." Common symptoms of this error include colored fonts, sudden insertion of line breaks into paragraphs, and replacement of the fake extra letters and removal of fake words words like "lorry" or "colour." ~Rosen Note: 12/12/12 Rosen, can you please explain to me why all my image files were swapped with pictures of SCP-050. -Doctor Agent Quandary If you're so smart with your double-major doctor-agent combo then you should be able to figure it out on your own. ~Rosen

Salon.com | Wikipedia audio article
Salon is an American news and opinion website, created by David Talbot in 1995 and currently owned by the Salon Media Group (OTCQB: SLNM). It publishes articles on U.S. politics, culture, and current events and has a politically progressive, liberal editorial stance. Since 2007, the company has been funded by John Warnock and William Hambrecht, through cash injections.Salon's headquarters is located at 870 Market Street San Francisco, California. == Content and coverage == Salon covers a variety of topics, including reviews and articles about books, films, and music; articles about "modern life", including friendships, human sexual behavior, and relationships; and reviews and articles about technology, with a particular focus on the free and open-source software (FOSS) movement. According to the senior contributing writer for the American Journalism Review, Paul Farhi, Salon offers "provocative (if predictably liberal) political commentary and lots of sex."In 2008, Salon launched the interactive initiative Open Salon, a social content site/blog network for its readers. Originally a curated site with some of its content being featured on Salon, it fell into editorial neglect and was closed in March 2015.Responding to the question, "How far do you go with the tabloid sensibility to get readers?", former Salon.com editor-in-chief David Talbot said: Is Salon more tabloid-like? Yeah, we've made no secret of that. I've said all along that our formula here is that we're a smart tabloid. If by tabloid what you mean is you're trying to reach a popular audience, trying to write topics that are viscerally important to a readership, whether it's the story about the mother in Houston who drowned her five children or the story on the missing intern in Washington, Chandra Levy. == Staff and contributors == Regular contributors include the political-opinion writers Amanda Marcotte, Scott Eric Kaufman, Heather Digby Parton and Sean Illing, critic Andrew O'Hehir and pop-culture columnist Mary Elizabeth Williams.David Talbot, founder and original editor-in-chief, also served several stints as CEO, most recently replacing Richard Gingras, who left to join Google as head of news products in July 2011.Joan Walsh stepped down as editor-in-chief in November 2010 and was replaced by Kerry Lauerman. David Daley took over the editor-in-chief position in June 2013.As of May, 2016, the company's CEO is Jordan Hoffner. == History == Salon was created in the wake of the San Francisco newspaper strike of 1994, by former San Francisco Examiner arts and features editor David Talbot who wished to explore the potential of Web. It launched in November 1995. In its early days, readers noticed a specifically Northern California flavor. In 1996, Talbot agreed: "We swim in the soup of San Francisco. There are a lot of odd fish we've plucked out of the bay here and it gives us some of that Left Coast, Weird Coast style." Time magazine named it one of the Best Web Sites of 1996.Salon purchased the virtual community, The WELL, in April 1999, and made its initial public offering (IPO) of Salon.com on the NASDAQ stock exchange on June 22 of that year. Subsequently, for the month of October, 1999, Nielsen/NetRatings reported that Salon had over 2 million users.Salon Premium, a pay-to-view (online) content subscription was introduced on April 25, 2001. The service signed up 130,000 subscribers and staved off discontinuation of services. However, in November 2002, the company announced it had accumulated cash and non-cash losses of $80 million, and by February 2003 it was having difficulty paying its rent and made an appeal for donations to keep the company running. On October 9, 2003, Michael O'Donnell, the chief executive and president of Salon Media Group, said he was leaving the company after seven years because it was "time for a change." When he left, Salon.com had accrued $83.6 million in losses since its inception, and its stock traded for 5¢ on the OTC Bulletin Board. David Talbot, Salon's chairman and editor-in-chief at the time, became the new chief executive. Elizabeth "Betsy" Hambrecht, then Salon's chief financial officer, became the president.In July 2008, Salon launched Open Salon, a "social content site" and "curated blog network." It was nominated for a 2009 National Magazine Award in the category "best interactive feature". On March 9, 2015, Salon announced it would be closing Open Salon after six years of hosting a community of writers and bloggers.Salon closed its online chat board "Table Talk" without stating an official reason for ending that section of the site on June 10, 2011.On July 16, 2012, Salon announced that it would be featuring content from Mondoweiss.Salon Media Group sold The WELL to the group of members in September 2012. === Business model and operations === Salon has been unprofitable through its entire history. Since 2007, the company has been dependent upon repeated cash injections from board Chairman John Warnock and William Hambrecht, father of former Salon CEO Elizabeth Hambrecht. During the nine months ending in December 31, 2012, these cash contributions amounted to $3.4 million, compared to revenue in the same period of $2.7 million. In December 2016 and January 2017, the company was evicted from its New York offices at 132 West 31st Street, a block from Madison Square Garden, for non-payment of $90,000 in back rent.Aspects of the Salon.com site offerings, ordered by advancing date: Free content: around 15 new articles posted per-day, revenues wholly derived from in-page advertisements. Per-day new content was reduced for a time. Salon Premium subscription: Approximately 20 percent of new content was made available to subscribers only. Other subscription benefits included free magazines and ad-free viewing. Larger, more conspicuous ad units were introduced for non-subscribers. A hybrid subscription model: Readers can now read content by viewing a 15-second full screen advertisement to earn a "day pass" or gain access by subscribing to Salon Premium. Salon Core: After Salon Premium subscriptions declined from about 100,000 to 10,000, it was rebranded in 2011 as Salon Core subscriptions featuring a different mix of benefits. In 2018, Salon launched a beta program allowing customers to opt out of advertising in exchange for mining cryptocurrency. == Controversies == === Retracted article on vaccine conference === === Otto Warmbier === In March 2016, while Otto Warmbier was imprisoned in North Korea, the site posted an article about him called: "This might be America’s biggest idiot frat boy: Meet the UVa student who thought he could pull a prank in North Korea." After Warmbier's death, the article was removed. Andrew O'Hehir, the executive editor of Salon, said that the article was based on the opinions of Larry Wilmore. === Todd Nickerson === In September 2015, Salon published an article written by Todd Nickerson, founder of Virtuous Pedophiles, about his experiences with being a non-offending pedophile, titled: "I’m a pedophile, but not a monster."This caused controversy at the time, with some commentators considering it "pro-pedophile" and Nickerson himself subject to a "backlash."This article, along with an accompanying video and a follow-up article, was deleted in February 2017, supposedly to protect Salon from accusations of hypocrisy when covering Milo Yiannopoulos's alleged support for pedophilia, although Salon Media Group CEO and Salon acting editor-in-chief Jordan Hoffner told New York magazine it was due to unspecified "new editorial policies." === Cryptocurrency mining === In February 2018, it was noted that Salon was preventing readers using ad blockers from seeing its content. Such users are offered a choice of disabling their blocker, or allowing Salon to run an in-browser script, using the user's resources, to mine Monero, a form of cryptocurrency

Cartel Sending DRUGS Senator Daines and Jelly Roll in Senate Banking
recognized chairman thank you just on behalf of a bunch of folks in Montana who listen to jelly roll a lot including myself uh welcome to the swamp here in DC we're glad to have you here but I prefer listen to you on my pickup back in Montana jelly roll so but I'm very proud of what you are doing as a role model in the message you have right now people will listen to you that won't listen to people who wear ties thank you uh over the past year I've had the opportunity to meet with folks across Montana everywhere else discuss the ongoing f crisis there's wreaking havoc in our communities I've met with law enforcement Public Health officials tribal leaders border patrol agents others they're all saying the same thing this fenel that's flooding across our Southern border is reaching our communities in record time in killing Americans at a horrific rate we don't have the numbers yet for 23 2023 for Montana finalized but our Montana drug task forces were un track to seize nearly a half a million dosage units of fentanyl that's double double last year's record shattering Caesars this is not just about urban areas it's not just about states that are close to Southern border Montana is a northern border state we border Canada but we have a southern border crisis as we've seen the CBP numbers in fiscal 23 they seiz enough fenel at the Southern border to kill the entire population of the United States these are sobering numbers and we and with jelly rolls public advocacy and help just letting people know you don't die from an overdose you die from poisoning on fentanyl the smallest amounts and you take a little packet of sweeten low and think that if that were fentel it's enough to kill 500 people one of these Montanas whose life was tragically cut short was Riley straps but Montana it's one more of the tragic stories he passed away after taking a pill that was laced with fenel last year I had the honor of bringing Riley's dad I brought him Riley's dad's name is Tom to be my guest to the Pres day of the Union Address tragically Riley's story is becoming more and more common as fentel continues to infiltrate every corner of every community in America I'll continue to work with my colleagues in the sent to clean up this in many ways it's a man-made crisis it's a crisis that starts at the southern border it starts in Mexico it starts with the precursors in China as well and stem the flow of fentanyl in this country so that no more families no more Montana families have to grieve the loss of a loved one to this drug Mr Yo's in your opinion has the crisis of the Southern border made the job of Law Enforcement Officers harder as it relates to illicit drugs and crime anytime you have a uh a system where where the uh demand is outpacing the resources it's always going to be a challenge and I think we're there we're clearly are um I know that there is uh some some really strong discussion here uh in the senate about a solution to the border and I'm reallyit looking forward to to being part of that and and learning more of it and being part of that solution something we we need to we need to recognize that there is damage being done here thank you Mr Urban um have Mexican drug cartels taking advantage of the crisis the southern border to elicit and traffic to to traffic these illicit drugs in the United States sure the Mexican cartels are exploiting our border right now they're they're trafficking drugs across the border every day as we talked about I think in a general sense we need to turn the border into an asset into a choke point as it as it pertains to the the the transportation of Fentanyl and it takes like I said it before a network to defeat a network so we need to understand how it's getting across how they're bring bringing it across and be able to effectively increase interdiction at the border do you think the administration's doing enough with its current sanctions authority to Target the Chinese entities that profit off the sale of fental precursors so as I mentioned before in terms of sanctions I think sanctions offers a real opportunity in terms of offensive strategies against the chemical precursors and and and the Chinese entities we need to Target you need to move from 6 to nine months in an indictment to to sanction someone to more like four to 6 weeks and you need to dram atically increase in scale in terms of the numbers of sanctions that you put out Jelly R in terms of uh of cartels operating around the United States what are your thoughts there and what what role they're playing right now to get the fenel distributed you know it's funny I've had a complete change in life I used to side with the criminals but these days I side with the law and I believe that it's uh imperative that we do something about it the uh the story of the cartel sending drugs to America as a tale as old as time it's just not as deadly as it is right now because to your point people aren't overdosing because they're doing too much people are overdosing because they're doing a little thank you thanks Mr chairman

hello and welcome my name is April ray CEO and founder of the introverted mobile studios welcome to I mobile TV where I like to talk about a little bit beauty branding business because that's what I love to do so really quick I want to share with you a conversation that I had someone was inquiring about how can they stand out from all of the other people who are in business doing the same thing that they're doing or selling the same product that they're selling this person isn't in I don't believe she's in a network marketing or direct selling business but because it applies basically to anyone in business and she wanted to know how can she stand out and really the answer is in your branding okay so think about target and walmart now target and walmart sell pretty much the exact same things pretty much but they both have a different brand that stands out and attract certain people walmart talks about the low cost and target talks about their kind of a fun they have a fun sort of you know if you've seen their commercials of recently or in the last couple of years it's fun it's young its youthful its hip and it's a little bit higher priced than walmart so selling there there's only the exact same or similar products but they're both successful businesses and their brand is what is attracting the people to them some people are attracted to target some people are attracted more to walmart so it's the same thing in business now if your network marketing or indirect sales i always say you must brand you you have to can't brand your business because you can't rely on that company that MLM company they may not be around and everybody like I said everybody's selling it so how do you stand out you brand yourself you start with um what makes you different from the other guy it's your personality it's who you are so you I always tell people you got to incorporate your personality as much as possible what kind of things do you love about not just your business but just in general right I love old movies I love old Hollywood I'm a big fan of old Hollywood if you go to my website you'll see remnants of old Hollywood and those specifically the old Hollywood studios from back in the day because I think they were really good at branding their actors um and you'll see that in my blog you'll see that on my website that but I sell I basically market branding and digital marketing I help people with ads and social media and the like and there's a lot of other people doing that exact same thing but I don't have to worry about that because I'm attracting the people because of the kind of brand that I've created you want to create obviously it's going to be your logo it's going to be the color choices that you choose and it's going to be the niche that you're in as well as who you want to attract who do you want to be your ideal client who is your ideal customer who's your ideal prospect those are the people you want to speak to and those are the people the kind of people that you want to brand for to some degree it's a 50-50 your branding you so that you can stand out from the other person you're positioning yourself from the other person and you're also branding so that you're attracting people to you people that kind of like what you like me even your quirky so you attract quirky people you want to put as much of your personality as you can into your brand so that's the main thing that or the main advice now Brandon can take time because you gotta do market research especially if you're not in network marketing or MLM you want to do a lot of market research you want to find out what other people who are selling similar products or maybe services that you vibe offline or whatever you want to find out what they're doing and so you got to do that research with your network marketing businesses you want to do research as well but you basically get to start you get to create your own thing you know you already know what your product is um you won't pretty much already have an itch but you can niche down and that's a whole nother topic where you can make it more strategic but that's pretty much it i wanted to share that's if you want to stand out online if you want to stand out in your business you got a brand and my lights keep flickering like they're going to go off and I'm gonna be pretty upset if they do in the middle of my video alright so that's it if you enjoyed this video leave a comment and don't forget to subscribe alright thank you for joining me and bye bye for now

In Flanders Fields and Other Poems | John McCrae, Andrew MacPhail | Talkingbook | English | 2/3
chapter 2 of an essay in character appended to in Flanders Fields and other poems this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org an essay in character by andrew MacPhail chapter 2 with the guns part 2 and here follows some general observations upon the experience northern France May the 10th 1915 we got here to refit and rest this morning at for having marched last night at 10:00 the general impression in my mind is of a nightmare we have been in the most bitter of fights for 17 days and 17 nights none of us have had our clothes off nor our boots even except occasionally in all that time while I was awake gun fire and rifle fire never ceased for 60 seconds and it was sticking to our utmost by a weak line all but ready to break knowing nothing of what was going on and depressed by reports of anxious infantry the men and the divisions are worthy of all praise that can be given it did not end in four days when many of our infantry were taken out it kept on at favor hate till yesterday this of course is the Second Battle of Ypres or the Battle of the A's air I do not know which at one time we were down to seven guns but those guns were smoking at every joint the Gunners using cloth to handle the breech levers because of their age we had three batteries in action with four guns added from the other units our casualties were half the number of in the firing line the horse lines and the wagon lines father back suffered less but the brigade list has gone far higher than any artillery normal I know one brigade RA that was in the Mons retreats and had about the same I have done what felt a hand my clothes boots kit and dugout at various times were sadly bloody two of our batteries are reduced to two officers each we have had constant accurate shell fire but we have given back no less and behind it all was the constant background of the sights of the Dead the wounded the maimed and they terrible anxiety lest the lines should give way during all this time we have been behind French troops and only helping our own people by oblique fire when necessary our horses have suffered heavily to bonfire had a light wound from a piece of shell it is healing and the dear old fellow is very fits had my first ride for 17 days last nights we never saw horses but with the wagons bringing up the ammunition when fire was hottest they had to come two miles on a road terribly swept and they did it magnificently but how tired we are weary and body and weary are in mind none of our men went off their heads but men in units nearby did and no wonder France May the 12th 1915 I am glad you had your mind at rest by the rumor that we were in reserve what newspaper work the poor old artillery never gets any mention and the whole show is the infantry it may interest you to note on your map a spot on the west bank of the canal I mile and a half north of Ypres as the scene of our Labour's there can be no harm in saying so now that we are out of it the unit was the most advanced of all the Allies guns by a good deal except one French battery which stayed in a position yet more advanced for two days and then had to be taken out I think it might be said that we saw the show from the soup to the coffee France made the 17th 1915 the farther we get away from Ypres the more we learn of the enormous power the Germans put in to push us over Lord only knows how many men they had and how many they lost I wish I could embody on paper some of the varied sensations of that 17 days all the gunners down this way past us all sorts of kudos over it our guns those behind us from which we had to dodge occasional prematures have a peculiar bang sound added to the sharp crack of discharge the French 75 has a sharp woodblock chop sound and the shell goes over with a peculiar whine not unlike a cat but beginning with them thus now the big fellows 3,000 yards or more behind sounded exactly like our own but the flash came three or four seconds before the sound of the German shells the field guns come with a great velocity no warning just whizz bang white smoke nearly always Airbus the next size probably 5-inch howitzers have a perceptible time of approach an increasing whine and a great burst on the percussion dirt in all directions and even if a shell hit on the front of the canal bank and one were on the back of the bank five eight or ten seconds later one would hear I belated were and curved pieces of shell would light probably parabolic curves or boomerangs these shells have a great back kick from the field gun shrapnel we got nothing behind the shell all the pieces go forward from the howitzers the danger is almost as great behind as in front if they burst on percussion then the large shrapnel airburst have a double explosion as if a giant shook a wet sail for two flaps first a dark green burst of smoke then a lighter yellow burst goes out from the center forwards I do not understand the why of it then the tenant shells a deliberate whirring course a deafening explosion black smoke and earth 70 or 80 feet in the air these always bursts on percussion the constant noise of our own guns is really worse on the nerves than the shell there is the deafening noise and the constant whir of shells going overhead the earth shakes with every nearby gun and every closed shell I think I may safely enclose a cross-section of our position the left is the front I slowed down of 20 feet in 100 yards to the canal a high row of trees on each Bank then a short 40 yards sloped up to the summit of the trench where the brain of the outfit was then a telephone wide slope and on the sharp slope the dugouts including my own the nondescript affair on the low slope is the gun position behind it the men's shelter pits behind my dugout was a rapid small stream on its far bank a row of Pollard willows then 30 yards have failed then I rode with two parallel rows of high trees behind this again several hundred yards of fields to cross before the main gun positions are reached more often fire came from three quarters left and because our Ridge died away there was a low spot over which they could come pretty dangerously the road 30 yards behind us was a nightmare to me I saw all the tragedies of war enacted there a wagon or a bunch of horses or a stray man or a couple of men would get there just in time for a shell one would see the absolute knockout and the obviously lightly wounded crawling off on hands and knees or worse yet at night one would hear the tragedy that hoarse scream or the man's moan all our wagons had to come there one every half hour in smart action be emptied and the ammunition carried over by hand do you wonder that the road got on our nerves on this road too was the house where we took our meals it was hit several times windows all blown in by nearby shells but one end remained for us 17 days of Hades at the end of the first day if anyone had told us we had to spend 17 days there we would have folded our hands and said it could not be done on the 15th day we got orders to go out but that was countermanded in two hours to the last we could scarcely believe we were actually to get out the real audacity of the position was its safety the Germans new to a foot where we were I think I told you of some of the you must stick it out messages we got from art French general they put it up to us it is a wonder to me that we slept when and how we did if we had not slept and eaten as well as possible we could not have lasted and while we were doing this the London office of a Canadian newspaper cabled home Canadian artillery in reserve such as Fame Thursday May the 27th 1915 died cloudy and chilly we wore our great coats most of the afternoon and looked for bits of sunlight to get warm about 2 o'clock the heavy guns gave us a regular blacksmithing every time we fired we drew a perfect hornets nest about our heads while attending to a casualty shell broke through both sides of the trench front and back about 12 feet away the zigzag of the trench was between it and us and we escaped from my bunk the moon looks down at me and the wind whistles along the trench like a corridor as the trenches run in all directions they catch the wind however it blows so one is always sure of a good draft we have not had a closed-off since last Saturday and there is no near prospect of getting them off Friday May the 28th 1915 warmer this morning and sunny a quiet morning as far as we were concerned one battery fired 20 rounds and the rest sat tight newspapers which arrived show that up to May the 7th the Canadian public has made no guess at the extent of the Battle of Ypres the Canadian papers seem to have lost interest in it after the first four days this regardless of the fact that the artillery numerically 1/4 of the division was in all the time one correspondent writes from the canadian rest camp and never mentions Ypres others say they hear heavy bombarding which appears to come from Armenti air a few strokes will complete the picture Wednesday April the 29th 1915 the state was edited at a later time stating this should read Wednesday April the 28th this morning is the sixth day of this fight it has been constant except that we got a good chance to sleep for the last two nights our men have fought beyond praise Canadian soldiers have set a standard for themselves which will keep posterity busy to surpass and the War Office published that the four point one guns captured were Canadian they were not the division has not lost a gun so far by capture we will make a good job of it if we can may the 1st 1915 this is the ninth day that we have stucked to the ridge and the batteries have fought with a steadiness which is beyond all praise if I could say what our casualties in men guns and horses were you would see at a glance it has been a hot corner but we have given better than we got for the German casualties from this front have been largely from artillery except for the French attack of yesterday and the day before when they advanced appreciably on our left the front however just here remains where it was and the artillery fire is very heavy I think as heavy here as on any part of the line with the exception of certain crossroads which are the particular object of fire the first four days the anxiety was wearing for we did not know at what minute the German Army Corps would come for us we lie out in support of the French troops entirely and are working with them since that time evidently great reinforcements have come in and now we have a most formidable force of artillery to turn on them fortunately the weather has been good the days are hot and summer like yesterday in the press of bad smells I got a whiff of a hedgerow in bloom the birds perch on the trees over our heads and Twitter away as if there was nothing to worry about bonfire is still well I do hope he gets through all right Flanders March the 30th 1915 the brigade is actually in 12 different places the ammunition column and the horse and wagon lines are back and my corporal visits them every day I attend the gun lines any casualty is reported by telephone and I go to it the wounded and sick stay where they are till dark when the failed ambulances go over certain grounds and collects a good deal of suffering is entitled by the delight all night but it is useless for vehicles to go on the roads within 1500 yards of the trenches they are willing enough to go most of the trench injuries are of the head and therefore there is a high proportion of killed in the daily warfare as opposed to an attack our Canadian plots fill up rapidly and here is one last note to his mother on the eve of the Battle of Ypres I was in debt to you for a letter which said take good care of my son Jack but I would not have you on mindful that sometimes when we save we lose I have that last happy phrase to thank often when I had to go out over the areas that were being shelled it came into my mind I would shoulder the box and go to it at this time the Canadian division was moving south to take its share in the events that happened in the lab RC sector here is the record Tuesday June the 1st 1915 one and a half miles northeast of Vesta bear near lebar see last night's a 15 pounder and a 4 inch howitzer fired at intervals of 5 minutes from 8 till 4 most of them within 500 or 600 yards a very tarsem procedure much of it is on registered roads in the morning I walked out too late or a to the wagon lines got bonfire and rode to the headquarters at Van Daan lay Betty owned a a little village a mile past bettin a left the horse at the lines and walked back again an unfortunate shell in the first killed a sergeant and wounded two men thanks to the strong emplacements the rest of the crew escaped in the evening went around the batteries and said goodbye we stood by while they laid away the sergeant who was killed kind hands have made two pathetic little wreaths of roses the grave under an apple tree and the moon rising over the horizon a siege lamp held for the book of the last 41 days the guns have been in action 33 captain Lockhart late with Fort Garry horse arrived to relieve me I handed over came up to the horse lines and slept in a covered wagon in a courtyard we were all sorry to part the four of us have been very intimate and had agreed perfectly and friendships under these circumstances are apt to be the real thing I am sorry to leave them in such a hot corner but cannot choose and must obey orders it is a great relief from strain I must admit to be out as I could wish that they all were this phase of the war lasted two months precisely and to John McCrae it must have seemed a lifetime since he went into this memorable action the events preceding the Second Battle of Ypres received scant mention in his letters but one remains which brings in two relief one of the many moves of that Chu mole to esteem April the 1st 1915 we moved out in the late afternoon getting on the road a little after dark such a move is not unattended by danger for to bring horses and limbers down the roads in the shell zone in daylight renders them liable to observation aerial or otherwise more than that the roads are now beginning to be dusty and at all times there is the noise which carries far the roads are nearly all registered in their battery books so if they suspect to move it is the natural thing to loose off a few rounds however our anxiety was not borne out and we got out of the danger zone by 8:30 a not too long march in the dark and then for the last of the march a glorious full moon the houses everywhere are as dark as possible and on the roads noises but no lives one goes on by the long rows of trees that are so numerous in this country on cobblestones and country roads watching ones horses ears wagging and seeing not much else our maps are well studied before we start and this time we are not far out of familiar territory we got to our new billet about 10 quite a good farmhouse and almost at once one fails the relief at the strain of being in the shell zone I cannot say I had noticed it when there but one is distinctly relieved when out of it such then was the life in Flanders Fields in which the verse was born this is no mere surmise there is a letter from major-general AWB Morrison CB c mg DSO they companion of the order of the bath companion of the order of st. Michael and st. George Distinguished Service Order who commanded the brigade at the time which is quite explicit this poem general Morrison writes was literally born of fire and blood during the hottest phase of the Second Battle of Ypres my headquarters were in a trench on the top of the bank of the Ypres canal and John had his dressing station in a hole dug in the foot of the bank during periods in the battle men who were shot actually rolled down the bank into his dressing station along from us a few hundred yards was the headquarters of a regiment and many times during the 16 days of battle he and I watched them burying their dead whenever there was a lull thus the crosses row on row grew into a good-sized Cemetery just to see describes we often heard in the mornings the larks singing high in the air between the crash of the shell and the reports of the guns in the battery just beside us I have a letter from him in which he mentions having written the poem to pass away the time between the arrival of batches of wounded and partly as an experiment with several varieties of poetic meter I have a sketch of the scene taken at the time including his dressing station and during our operations at Passchendaele last November I found time to make a sketch of the scene of the crosses row on row from which he derived his inspiration the last letter from the front is dated June the 1st 1915 upon that day he was posted to number 3 General Hospital at Vilonia and placed in charge of medicine with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel as of the date 17th of April 1915 here he remained until the day of his death on January the 28th 1918 end of chapter 2 part 2 recording by Steve Chavez Norwich England [Music] Chapter three of an essay in character appended to in Flanders Fields and other poems this

of war there are men who pass through such scenes unmoved if they have eyes they do not see and ears they do not hear but John McCrae was profoundly moved and bore in his body until the end the signs of his experience before taking up his new duties he made a visit to the hospitals in Paris to see if there was any new thing that might be learned a nursing sister in the American ambulance at knee a sore Sen met him in the wards although she had known him for 15 years she did not recognize him he appeared to her so old so worn his face lined and ashen gray in color his expression dull his action slow and heavy to those who have never seen John McCrae since he left Canada this change in his appearance will seem incredible he was of the egg Ford's and the egg Ford men where bonny men men with rosy cheeks it was a year before I met him again and he had not yet recovered from the strain although he was upwards of 40 years of age when he left Canada he had always retained an appearance of extreme youthfulness he frequented the company of men much younger than himself and their youth was imputed to him his frame was tall and well knit and he showed alertness in every move he would arise from the chair with every muscle in action and walk forth as if he were about to dance the first time I saw him he was doing an autopsy at the Montreal General Hospital upon the body of a child who had died under my care this must have been in the year 1900 and the impression of boyishness remained until I met him in France 16 years later his manner of dress did much to produce this illusion when he was a student in London he employed a tailor in Queen Victoria Street to make his clothes but with advancing years he neglected to have new measurements taken or to alter the pattern of his cloth to obtain a new suit was merely to write a letter and he was always economical of time in those days jackets were cut short and he adhered to the fashion with persistent care this appearance of youth at times caused shagreen to those patients who had heard of his fame as a physician and called upon him for the first time in the Royal Victoria Hospital after he had been appointed physician he entered the wards and asked a nurse to fetch a screen so that he might examine a patient in privacy students are not allowed to use screens the young woman warned him with some asperity in her voice if I were asked to state briefly the impression which remains with me most firmly I should say it was one of continuous laughter that is not true of course for in repose his face was heavy his countenance more than ruddy it was even of a choleric caste and at times almost livid especially when he was recovering from one of those attacks of asthma from which he habitually suffered but his smile was his own and it was ineffable it filled the eyes and illumined the face it was the smile of sheer fun of pure gaiety of sincere playfulness innocent of irony with a tinge of sarcasm never when he allowed himself to speak of meanness in the profession of dishonesty and men of evil in the world his face became formidable the glow of his countenance deepened his words were bitter and the tones harsh but the indignation would not last the smile would come back the effect was spoiled everyone laughed with him after his experience at the front the old gaiety never returned there were moments of irritability and moods of irritation the desire for solitude grew upon him and with bonfire and bono he would go apart for long afternoons far afield by the roads and lanes about following the truth is he felt that he and all had failed and that the torch was thrown from failing hands we have heard much of the suffering the misery the cold the wet the gloom of those first three winters but no tongue has yet uh turd the inner misery of heart that was bred of those three years of failure to break the enemy's force he was not alone in this shadow of deep darkness Jevon she fists to bare nerve Chapelle Ypres who the song to mention alone the battles in which up to that time the Canadian Corps had been engaged all ended in failure unto a sensitive and foreboding mind there were sounds and signs that it would be given to this generation to hear the pillars and fabric of empire come crashing into the abysm of chaos he was not at the song in that October of 1916 but those who returned up north the remnants of their division from that place of slaughter will remember that having done all men could do they felt like deserters because they had not left their poor bodies dead upon the field along with friends of a lifetime comrades of a campaign this is no mere matter of surmise the last day I spent with him we talked of those things in his tent and I testify that it is true end of chapter 3 recording by Rose whoo chapter 34 of an essay in character appended to in Flanders Fields and other poems this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public

without illusions at first like many others of his age he did not think of enlisting although his services are at the disposal of the country if it needs them in July 1914 he was at work upon the second edition of the textbook of pathology by Adam I and McCrae published by Messrs Lea and Faye Baker and he had gone to Philadelphia to read the proofs he took them to Atlantic City where he could sit out on the sand and get sunshine and oxygen and work all at once it was a laborious task passing ad to a hundred pages of highly technical print each day then there was the index between six and seven thousand items I have so he writes to change every item in the old index and add others I have a pile of pages eight hundred and twenty six and all I look at the index find the old page among the 826 and then change the number this about seven thousand times so you may guess the drudgery on July 15th the work was finished registered and entrusted to the mail with a special delivery stamp the next day he wrote the preface which really finished the job and very truth his scientific work was done it was now midsummer the weather was hot he returned to Montreal practice was dull he was considering a voyage to Havre in the little trip with dr. Adam I when he arrived on July 29th he left Canada for better or worse with the world so disturbed he records I would gladly have stayed more in touch with events but I daresay one is just as happy away from the hundred conflicting reports the ship was this notion of the allan line and he shared a comfortable cabin with the professor of Greek who was at the University in his own time for one inland born he had a keen curiosity about ships in the sea there was a letter written when he was thirteen years of age in which he gives an account of a visit to enable exhibition in London he describes the models which he saw and gives an elaborate table of names dimensions and tonnage he could identify the house flags and funnels of all the principal liners he could follow his ship through all her facades and change of ownership when he found himself in a seaport town his first business was to visit the waterfront and take a knowledge of the vessels that lay in the stream or by the docks one voyage he made to England was in a cargo ship with his passion for work he took on the duties of surgeon and amazed the skipper with a revelation of the new technique in operations but she himself had been accustomed to perform by the light of experience alone on the present in more luxurious voyage he remarks the decks were roomy the ship seven-years-old incapable of 15 knots an hour the passengers pleasant and including a large number of French all now know only too well the nature of the business which sent those ardent spirits flocking home to their native land 48 hours were lost in fog the weather was too thick for making the Straits in the Scotian preceded by Cape Race on her way to Havre under date of August 5 & 6 the first reference to the war appears all his excitement the ship runs without lights surely the German Kaiser has its head in the noose at last it will be a terrible war in the finish of one or the other I am afraid my holiday trip is nacht galley-west but we shall see the voyage continues 800 miles from elavil you we turned back and headed south for queenstown thence to the channel but in at Portland a squadron of battleships arrived here this morning the problem presented itself to him as too many another the decision was made to go back to America was to go back from the war here are the words it seems quite impossible to return and I did not think I should try I would not feel quite comfortable over it I'm cabling to Morrison and Ottawa that I am available either as combatant or medical if they need me I do not go to it very lightheartedly but I think it is up to me it was not so easy in those days to get to the war as he and many others were soon to discover there wasn't Canada at the time a small permanent force of 3,000 men in Military College a headquarter staff and divisional staff for the various districts and to which the country was divided in addition there was a body of militia with a strength of about 60,000 officers and other ranks annual camps were formed in which all arms of the service are represented and the whole was a very good imitation of service conditions complete plans for mobilization were in existence but which a certain quota according to the establishment required could be detailed from each district but upon the outbreak of war the operations were taken in hand by a minister of militia who assumed in his own person all those duties usually assigned to the staff he called to his assistants certain business and political associates with the result of volunteers who followed military methods did not get very far accordingly we find it written in jar McRae's diary from London nothing doing here I have yet no word from the department of Ottawa but I tried to be philosophical until I hear from Morrison if they want me for the Canadian Forces I can use my old Sam Browne belt sword and saddle if it is yet extent at times I wish I could go home with a clear conscience he sailed for Canada in the Calgarian on August 28th having received the kilogram from Colonel Morrison that he had been provisionally appointed surgeon to the 1st Brigade artillery the night he arrived in Montreal I dined with him at the University Club and he was aglow with enthusiasm over this new adventure he remained in Montreal for a few days and on September 9th joined the unit to which he was attached as medical officer before leaving Montreal he wrote to his sister guiles outs on the awful old train again and with very mixed feelings but some determination I am off to Val Cartier tonight I was really afraid to go home for I feared it would only be harrowing for matter and I think she agrees we can hope for happier times everyone most kind and helpful my going does not seem to surprise anyone I know you will understand it is hard to go home and perhaps easier for us all they do not I am in good hope of coming back soon and safely that I'm glad to say is in other and better hands than ours end of chapter 34 recording by Craig Giordano New Port Richey Florida chapter 5 of an essay in character appended to in Flanders Fields and other poems this is a librivox

africa in the autumn of 1914 after John McCrae had gone overseas I was in a warehouse in Montreal in which one might find an old piece of mahogany wood his boxes were there in storage with his name plainly printed upon them the Stormin observing my interest remarked this dr. McCrae cannot be doing much business he is always going to the wars the remark was profoundly significant of a state of mind upon the subject of war which prevailed at the time in Canada in more intelligent persons to this Stormin war merely meant that the less usefully employed members of the community sent their boxes to him for safekeeping until their return war was a great holiday from work and he had a vague remembrance at some 15 years before this customer had required of him a similar service when the South African War broke out either Inessa or in Posse John McCrae had always been going to the wars at 14 years of age he joined the Guelph Highland Cadets and rose to the rank of first lieutenant as his size and strength increased he reverted to the ranks and transferred to the artillery in due time he rose from gunner to Major the formal date of his Gazette is 17 302 as they write it in the army but he earned his rank in South Africa war was the burden of his thought war and death the theme of his verse at the age of 13 we find him at a gallery in Nottingham writing this note I saw the picture of the artillery going over the trenches at Tel el kebir it is a good picture but there are four teams on the guns perhaps an extra one had to be put on if his nomenclature was not correct the observation of the younger terrorists was exact such excesses were not permitted in his father's battery in Guelph Ontario during this same visit his curiosity led him into the House of Lords and the some of his written observation is when someone is speaking no one seems to listen at all his mother I never knew Canada is a large place with his father I had four hours talk from 7:00 to 11:00 one June evening in London in 1917 at the time I was on leave from France to give the Cavendish lecture a task which demanded some thought and after two years in the Army it was a curious sensation watching one's mind at work again the day was Sunday I had walked down to the river to watch the flowing tied to one brought up in a country of streams and a moving sea the curse of Flanders is her stagnant waters it is little wonder of the exiled from the Judean hillsides wept beside the slimy River the Thames by evening in June memories that reached from Tacitus to Wordsworth the embrasure that extends in front of the Egyptian obelisk for a standing place and some children swimming a dog that was the scene and circumstance of my first meeting with his father a man of middle age was standing by he wore the flashings of a left hand and Colonel and four badges the art hillarie grenades he seemed a friendly man and under the influence of the moment which he also surely felt I spoke to him a fine River that was a safe remark but I know a finer far / and a burner I put the stranger to the test no he said the st. Lawrence is not off Damascus he had answered to the sign and looked at my patches I have a son in France myself he said his name is McCrae not John McCrae John McCrae is my son the resemblance was instant but this was an older man than at first sight he seemed to be I asked him to dinner at Morley's my place of resort for a length of time beyond the memory of all but the oldest servants he had already dined but he came and sat with me and told me marvelous things David McCrae had raised and trained a field battery in Guelph and brought it overseas he was at the time upwards of 70 years of age and was considered on account of years alone unfit to proceed to the front for many years he had commanded a field battery in the Canadian militia went on maneuvers with his cannons and fired round shot when the time came for using shells he board the fuse with a gimlet and if the gimlet were lost in the grass the gun was out of action until the useful tool could be found this cannonball would travel over the country according to the obstacles it encountered and if it struck a man it might break his leg in such a martial atmosphere the boy was brought up and he was early nourished with the history of the Highland regiments also from his father he inherited or had instilled into him a love of the out-of-doors a knowledge of trees and plants a sympathy with birds and beasts domestic and wild when the South African War broke out a contingent was dispatched from Canada but it was so small that few of those desiring to go could find a place this explains the genesis of the following letter I see by tonight's bulletin that there is to be no second contingent I feel sick with disappointment and do not believe that I have ever been so disappointed in my life for ever since this business began I am certain there have not been 15 minutes of my waking hours that it has not been in my mind it has to come sooner or later one campaign might cure me but nothing else ever will unless it should be old age I regret bitterly that I did not enlist with the first four I doubt if ever another chance will offer like it this is not said in ignorance of what the hardships would be I am ashamed to say I am doing my work in a merely mechanical way if they are taking surgeons on the other side I have enough money to get myself across if I knew anyone over there who could do anything I would certainly set about it if I can get an appointment in England by going I will go my position here I do not count as an old boot in comparison in the end he accomplished the desire of his heart and sailed on the Laurentian concerning the voyage one transcription will be enough on orderly duty I have just been out taking the ticket at 11:30 p.m. in the stables the long robe of heads in the half darkness the creaking of the ship the shivering of the hull from the vibration of the engines the sing of a sentry on the spar deck to some passerby then to the forward deck the sky half-covered with scudding clouds the stars bright in the intervals the wind whistling a regular blow that tries one's ears the constant swish as she settles down to a sea and looking aft the funnel with a wreath of smoke trailing away off into the darkness on the starboard quarter the patch of light on the funnel Serna volt dimly the masts drawing maps across the sky as one looks up the clunk of shovels coming up through the ventilators if you have ever been there you know it all there was a voluntary service at six two ships lanterns and the man all around the background of sky and sea and the strains of nearer my God to thee rising up in splendid chorus it was the very effect of scene and it occurred to me that this was the ruie bocce's singing on the road as the song says the next entry is from south africa greenpoint camp Cape Town February 25th 1900 of the work section commanders live with their sections which is the right way it makes long hours I never knew was softer bed than the ground is these nights I really enjoy every minute though there is anxiety we have lost all our spare horses we have only enough to turn out the battery and no more after a description of a number of the regiment's camped nearby them he speaks of the Indian troops and then says we've met the high priest of it all and I had a five minutes chat with him Kipling I mean he visited the camp he looks like his pictures and is very affable he told me I spoke like a Winnipeg er he said we ought to find the men for drinking on boiled water don't give them CB it is no good find them or drive common sense into them all Canadians have common sense the next letter is from the lines of communication van Wyk sleigh March 22nd 1900 Here I am with my first command each place we strike is a little more god-forsaken than the last and this place winds up to date we marched last week from Victoria West to Carnival about 80 miles we stayed there over Sunday and on Monday my section was detached with mounted infantry I being the only artillery officer we've marched 54 miles in 37 hours with stops not very fast but quite satisfactory my horses doing well although very thin night before last on the road we halted and I dismounted for a minute when we started I pulled on the lines but no answer the poor old chap was fast asleep in his tracks and in about 30 seconds to this continuous marching is really hard work the man at every halt just dropped down in the road and sleep until they are kicked up again in ten minutes they do it willingly too I am commanding officer adjutant officer on duty and all the rest since we left the main body talked about the army in Flanders you should hear this battalion I always knew soldiers could swear what you want to hear these fellows I am told the first contingent has got a name among the regulars three weeks later he writes April 10th 1900 we certainly shall have done a good March when we get to the railroad 478 miles through a country desolate of forage carrying our own transport and one half rations of forage and frequently the men's rations for two days running we had nine hours in the saddle without food my throat was sore and swollen for a day or two and I felt so sorry for myself at times that I left to think how I must have looked sitting on a stone drinking a pan of tea without trimmings that had got cold and eating a shapeless lump of brown bread my one Hank drawn around my neck serving as Hank and bandaged alternately it is miserable to have to climb up on one's horse with a head like a buzz saw the Sun very hot and gurgle in one's water bottle it is surprising how I can go without water if I have to on a short stretch that is of 10 hours in the Sun it is after nightfall that the thirst really seems to attack one and actually Naz one thinks of all the cool drinks and good things one would like to eat please understand that this is not for one instant in any spirit of growling the detail was now established at Victoria Road three entries appear April 23rd 1900 we're still here in camp hoping for orders to move but they have not yet come most of the other troops have gone a squadron of the MCR my messmates for the past five weeks have gone and I am left an orphan I was very sorry to see them go they in the kindness of their hearts say if I get stranded they will do the best they can to get a troop for me in the squadron or some such employment impracticable but kind I have no wish to cease to be a gunner Victoria Road May 20th 1900 the horses are doing as well as one can expect for the rations are insufficient our men have been helping to get ready a rest camp near us and have been filling mattresses with hay every fatigue party comes back from the hospital their jackets bulging with hay for the horses two bales were condemned as to musty to put into the mattresses and we were allowed to take them for the horses they didn't leave a spear of it isn't it pitiful everything that the heart of man and woman can devise has been sent out for the Tommies but no one thinks of the poor horses they get the worst of it all the time even now we blush to see the handful of hay that each horse gets at a feed the Boer War is so far off in time and space that a few further detached references must suffice when riding into bloom Fontaine met Lord blanks funeral at the cemetery gates banned firing party Union Jack and about three companies a few yards farther on itami covered only by his blanket escorted by 13 all told the last class distinction that the world can ever make we had our baptism of fire yesterday they opened on us from the left flank their first shell was about 150 yards in front direction good the next was 100 yards over and we thought we were bracketed some shrapnel burst over us and scattered on all sides I felt as if a hailstorm was coming down and wanted to turn my back but it was over in an instant the whistle of a shell is unpleasant you hear it begin to scream the scream grows louder and louder it seems to be coming exactly your way then you realize that it has gone over most of them fell between our guns and wagons our position was quite in the open with Ian Hamilton's column near Balmoral the day was cold much like a December day at home and by Mike it going astray I had only light clothing the rain was fearfully chilly when we got in about dark we found that the transport could not come up and it had all our blankets and coats I had my cape and a rubber sheet for the saddle both soaking wet being on duty by help to camp the others making for the house nearby where they got poor quarters I bunked out supperless like everyone else under an ammunition wagon it rained most of the night and was bitterly cold I slept at intervals keeping the same position all night both legs in a puddle and my feet being rained on it was a long night from dark at 5:30 to morning ten men in the infantry regiment next to us died during the night from exposure altogether I never knew such a night and with decent luck hope never to see such another as we passed we saw the connotes looking at the graves of their comrades of 20 years ago the battery rode at attention and gave eyes right the first for twenty years that the role of a British gun has broken in on the Silence of those unnamed graves we were inspected by Lord Roberts the battery turned out very smart and Lord Roberts complimented the major on its appearance he then inspected and afterwards asked to have the officers called out we were presented to him in turn he spoke a few words to each of us asking what our core and service had been he seemed surprised that we were all Field Artillery men but probably the composition of the other Canadian units had to do with this he asked a good many questions about the horses the men and particularly about the spirits of the men altogether he showed a very kind interest in the battery at 9:00 took the Presbyterian parade to the lines the First Presbyterian service since we left Canada we had the right the Gordon's and the Royal Scots next the music was excellent led by the brass band of the Royal Scots which played extremely well all the singing was from the Psalms and paraphrases old hundred and Duke Street among them it was very pleasant to hear the old reliables once more McRae's covenant errs some of the officers called us but I should not like to set our conduct up against the standard of those austere men at Lindenberg the Boers opened on us at about ten thousand yards the fire of being accurate from the first they shelled us till dark over three hours the guns on our left fired for a long time on Bullers camp the ones on our right on us we could see the smoke and flash then there was a soul consuming interval of twenty to thirty seconds when we would hear the report and about five seconds later the bursts many in succession burst over and all around us I picked up pieces which fell within a few feet it was a trying afternoon and we stood around wondering we moved the horses back and took cover under the wagons we were thankful when the Sun went down especially as for the last hour of daylight they turned all their guns on us the casualties were few the next morning a heavy mist prevented the enemy from firing the division marched out at 7:30 a.m. the attack was made in three columns Cavalry Brigade on the Left Bullers troops in the center Hamilton's on the right the Canadian artillery were with Hamilton's division the approach to the hill was exposed everywhere except where some cover was afforded by ridges we marched out as support to the Gordon's the cavalry and the Royal Horse Artillery going out to our right as a flank guard while we were waiting three 100 pound shells struck the top of the ridge in succession about 50 to 75 yards in front of the battery line we began to feel rather shaky on looking over the field at this time one could not tell that anything was occurring except for the long-range guns replying to the fire from the hill the enemy had opened fire as soon as our advance was pushed out with a glass one could distinguish the infantry pushing up in lines five or six in succession the men being some yards apart then came a long pause broken only by the big guns at last we got the order to advance just as the big guns of the enemy stopped their fire we advanced about four miles mostly up the slope which is in all about 1,500 feet high over a great deal of rough ground and over a number of spruce the horses were put to their utmost to draw the guns up the hills as we advanced we could see artillery crawling in from both flanks all converging to the main hill while far away the infantry and cavalry were beginning to crown the heights near us then the field guns and the pom-poms began to play as the field guns came up to a broad plateau section after section came into action and we fired shrapnel and lyddite on the crusts ahead and to the left every now and then a rattle of mousers and Medford's would tell us that the infantry were at their work but practically the battle was over from being an infantry attack as expected it was the Gunners day and the artillery seemed to do excellent work general Buller pushed up the hill as the guns were at work and afterwards general Hamilton the one has grimaces pictures the other looking very happy the wind blew through us cold like ice as we stood on the hill as the artillery ceased fire the mist dropped over us chilling us to the bone we were afraid we should have to spend the night on the hill but a welcome order came sending us back to camp a distance of 5 miles by the roads as Buller would hold the hill and our force must march south our front was over 8 miles wide and the objective 1,500 feet higher than our camp and over six miles away if the enemy had had the nerve to stand the position could scarcely have been taken certainly not

every dog and every child one met must be spoken to and each made answer throughout the later letters the names bonfire and Bono occur continually bonfire was his horse and below his dog this horse and Irish hunter was given to him by John L Todd it was wounded twice and now lives an honorable retirement at a secret place which need not be disclosed to the army authorities one officer who had visited the hospital writes of seeing him going about the wards with Bono and a small French child following after in memory of his love for animals and children the following extracts will serve you ask if the wee fellow has a name Mike mostly as a term of affection he has found a cupboard in one ward in which oakum is stored and he loves is still in there and pick oakum amusing himself as long as he is permitted I hold that this indicates convict ancestry to which Mike makes no defence the family is very well even one-eyed Mike is able to go around the yard in his dressing gown so to speak he is a queer pathetic little beast and Madame has him hospitalized on the bottom shelf of the sideboard in the living room when she comes down six inches to the floor to greet me then gravely herpes back the hind legs looking very pathetic because he hops in but is full of spirit and is doing very well as to the animals those poor voiceless creature say you I wish you could hear them but no and Mike or a perfect dignity and impedance and both vocal to a wonderful degree Mike's face is exactly like the terrier in the old picture and he sits up and gives his paw just like below and I never saw him have any instruction and as for voice I wish you could hear bonfires wicker to me in the stables or elsewhere he is all but talk there was one Ward door that he tries whenever we pass he turns his head around looks into the door and waits the sisters in the word have changed frequently but all alike fall for it as they say and produce a biscuit or some such dainty which bond fire takes with much gravity and gentleness should I hide him for being too eager and give him my hand sing gentle now he mumbles with his lips and licks with his tongue like a dog to show how gentle he can be when he tries truly a great boy is that same or in this subject I am like a doting grandmother but forgive it I have a very deep affection for bonfire for we have been through so much together and some of it bad enough all the hard spots to which one's memory turned the old fellow has shared that we said so little about it his love of animals was no vagrant mood fifteen years before in South Africa he wrote in his diary under date of September 11th 1900 by could introduce you to the dogs of the force the genus dog here is essentially sociable and it is a great pleasure to have them about I think I have a personal acquaintance with them all there are pups dolly whom I always know by her one black and one white eyebrow grits and Tory to small gentlemen but the size of a pound of butter and fighters one small way gentleman who rides on a horse on the blanket kitty the monkey also rides the off-lead of the forge wagon there is a black almond eyed person belonging to the Royal Scots who

day old jack my horse was bitten by his next neighbour he turned slowly eyed his opponent shifted his rope so that he had a little more room turned very deliberately and planted both heels in the offender stomach he will not be running on from a time still further back comes a note in like a strain in 1898 he was House physician in a Children's Hospital at Mount Airy Maryland when he wrote hey kitten has taken up with the poor dying of muscular atrophy who cannot move it stays with him all the time and sleeps most of the day in his straw hat tonight I saw the kitten curled up under the bedclothes it seemed as if he were a gift of Providence that the little creature should attach itself to the child who needs it most of another child the day she died she called from me all day deposed the nurse who was sitting by her and asked me to remain with her she had to be held up on account of lack of breath and I had a tiring hour of it before she died but it seemed to make her happier and was no great sacrifice her friends arrived 20 minutes too late it seems hard the death will not wait the poor a fraction of an hour but so it is and are some letters to his nephews and nieces which reveal his attitude both to children and to animals from bonfire to sergeant-major Jack Kilgore August 6th 1916 did you ever have a sore Hawk I have one now and Cruikshank puts bandages on my leg he also washed my white socks for me I am glad you get my picture my master as well and the girls tell me I am looking well too the ones I like best give me biscuits and sugar and sometimes flowers one of them did not want to give me some men yet the other day because she said it would make me sick it did not make me sick another one sends me bags of carrots if you don't know how to keep care 'it's tops and all you had better learn I suppose you were just a boy and do not know how good outs are bonfire his mark here and later this mark is that of a horseshoe al 1995 from bonfire to sergeant major Jack Kilgore October 1st 1916 dear jack did you ever eat blackberries my master and I picked them every day on the hedges I like 20 at a time my leg is better but I have a lump on my tummy I went to see my doctor today and he says it is nothing at all I have another horse staying in my stable now he is black and about half my size he does not keep me awake at night yours truly bonfire his mark from bonfire - Margaret Kilgore civilian November 5th 1916 dear Margaret this is Guy Fawkes Day I spell it that way because fox hunting was my occupation a long time ago before the war our sergeant major Jack well David asked jack if he ever bites through his rope at night and gets into the ODE box and it's for the Corporal I bet you I can jump as far as he can I hear David has lost his red coat I still have my gray one but it is pretty dirty now for I've not had a new one for a long time I got my hair cut a few weeks ago and him to have new boots next week but no and Follette send their love yours truly bonfire his mark in Flanders April 3rd 1915 my dear Margaret there was a little girl in this house his name is clotilda she's 10 years old and caused me once your lineage or how would you like it if 20 or 30 soldiers came along and in your house and put their horses in the shed or the stable there are not many little boys and girls left in this part of the country but occasionally one meets them on the roads with baskets of eggs or loaves of bread most of them have no homes for their homes have been burnt by the Germans but they do not cry over it it is dangerous for them for a shell might hit them at any time and it would not be an eggshell either bonfire is very well mother sent him packets of sugar and if ever you saw a big horse excited about a little parcel he was bonfire he can have only two lumps in any one day but there is not much of it twice he is head gingerbread and he is very fond of that is rather funny for a soldier horse is it not but soldier horses have a pretty hard time of it sometimes so we do not grudge them a little luxury bonfires friends are king and Prince and saxonia all nice big boys if they go away and leave him he whinnies till he catch a sight them again and then he is quite happy how was the 15th Street Brigade going on to a mother I recommend Jack for promotion to corporal if he has been good David will have to be a gunner for a while yet for everybody cannot be promoted get my love to Catherine and Jack and David your affectionate uncle Jack the bonfire and Ben oh and little Mike hall well Mike is about four months old and has lost an eye and had a leg broken but he is a very good little boy all the same he is very fond of bonfire and below and me I go to the stable and whistle and Ben oh and Mike come running out squealing with joy to go for a little walk with me when Mike comes to steps he puts his feet on the lowest steps and turns and looks at me and I lift him up he is a dear ugly little chap the dogs are often to be seen sprawled on the floor of my tent I like to have them there for they are very home-like beasts they never seemed French to me bunnell can Donner and lay pate in good style nowadays and he sometimes curls up inside the rabbit hutch and the rabbits seem to like him I wish you could see the hundreds of rabbits there are here on the sand dunes there are also many larks and jackdaws these are different from your brother Jack although they have black faces there are herons curlews and even ducks and the other day I saw four young weasels in a heap jumping over each other from side to side as they ran sir Bertrand Dawson has a lovely little spaniel sue quite black who goes around with him and quite a favorite and one day sir Bertrand said to me she has brought you a present and here she was waiting earnestly for me to remove from her mouth a small stone it is usually a simple gift I notice and is not embarrassed by his value bonfire is very sleek in trim and we journey much today I sit down in his reach I wish you could see how deftly he can pick off my camp and swing it high out of my reach he also carries my crop his games are simple but he does not really tire them I lost poor old Wendy he was the regimental dog with the first Battalion Lincoln's and came to this vale of avalon to be healed of his second wound he spent a year at Gallipoli and was over the top twice with his battalion he came to us with his papers like any other patient and did very well for a while but took suddenly worse he had all that care and love could suggest and enough morphine to keep the pain down but he was very pathetic and I had resolved that it would be true friendship to help him over when he went west he is buried in our woods like any other good soldier and yesterday I noticed that someone has laid a little wreath of Ivy on his grave he was an old dog evidently but we are all sore hearted at losing him his kit is captured his master returned only his collar with his honourable marks for his wardrobe was a necessity simple so another sad chapter ends September 29th 1915 but no gravely accompanies me round the wards and waits for me sitting up in a most dignified way comes into my tent and sits there very gravely while I dress two days ago a sister brought out some biscuits for bonfire and not understanding the rules of the game which are bits and bits about for bonfire and Benoa gave all to bonfire so the poor by no sight below and caught the crumbs that fell I can see the bonfire makes a great hit with the sisters because she licks their hands just like a dog and no chrome is too small to be gone after April 1917 was glad to get back bonfire and bono greeted me very enthusiastically I had a long long story from the dog delivered with uplifted muzzle they tell me he sat gravely on the roads a great deal during my absence and all his accustomed haunts missed him he is back on rounds faithfully end

engaged upon a formal work of biography rather than a mere essay in character would be just and proper to investigate the family sources from which the individual member is sprung but I must content myself within the bounds which I have set and leave the larger task to a more laborious hand the essence of history lies in the character of the persons concerned rather than in the feats which they performed a man neither lives to himself nor it and himself he's in disel you believe bound up with a stalk and can only explain himself in terms comment to his family but in doing so he transcends the limits of history and passes into the realms of philosophy and religion the life of a Canadian is bound up with the history of his parish of this town of his province of his country and even with the history of that country and which his family had its birth the life of John McCrae takes us back to Scotland in Canada there has been much writing of history a certain kind it deals with events rather than with the subtler matter of people and has been written mainly for purposes of advertising if the French made a heroic stand against the Iroquois the sacred spot is now furnished or that hotel from which a free bus runs to a station upon the line of an excellent railway Mazal neve fought his great a fight upon a place from which a vicious mayor cut the trees which once sheltered the soldier to make way for a fashion upon which would be razed historical figures in concrete stone the history of Canada is the history of its people not of its railways hotels and factories the material exists in written or printed form and the little archives of many a family such a chronicle is in possession of the Eckford family which now by descent on the female side bears the honored names of gal and McCrae John Eckford had two daughters and the words of old Jamie young the most loving us he ever knew the younger Janet Simpson was taken to wife by David McCrae 21st January 1870 and on November 30th 1872 became the mother of John to her he wrote all these letters glowing with filial devotion which I am privileged to use so freely there is in the family a tradition of the single name for the male's it was therefore proper that the elder born should be called Thomas More learned in medicine more assiduous in practice and more weighty in intellect even than otherwise more highly gifted John he too is a professor of medicine and co-author of a profound work with his master and relative by marriage Sir William Osler also he wore the Kings uniform and served in the present war thus John Eckford accompanied by his two daughters the mother being dead his sister her husband who bore the name of Chisholm and their numerous children emigrated to Canada May 28th 1851

their cousin when Duncan Manik mrs. Hanny who was a sister of Thomas Carlyle and her two daughters on the voyage they escaped the usual hardships and their fare appears to us in these days to have been abundant the weekly ration was three quarts of water two ounces of tea one half pound of sugar 1/2 pound molasses three pounds of bread one pound of flour two pounds of rice and five pounds of oatmeal the reason for this migration is succinctly stated by the head of the house I know how hard it was for my mother to start me and I wanted land for my children and a better opportunity for them and yet his parents in their time appear to have started him pretty well although his father was obliged to confess I never had more of this world's goods than to bring up my family by the labor of my hands honestly but it is more than my master owned who had not where to lay his head they allowed him that very best means of education a calmness of the senses as he herded sheep on the Cheviot Hills they put him to the University in edinburg as a preparation for the ministry and supplied him with ample oatmeal peas meal bannocks and milk in that great school of divinity he learned the Hebrew Greek and Latin he studied Italian and French under surin him of blessed memory even unto this day John Eckford in 1839 married Margaret Christie and he went far afield for a wife namely from Newbegin and for far where for fourteen years he had his one and only charge to Streatham igloo in Fife the marriage was fruitful and a happy one although there is a hint in the record of some religious difference upon which one would like to dwell of the subject were not to a so tarik for this generation the Minister showed a certain indulgence and so long as his wife lived he never employed the paraphrases in the solemn worship of the sanctuary she was a woman of a Provident mind shortly after they were married he made the discovery that she had prepared the grave clothes for him as well as for herself too soon after only eight years it was her fate to be shrouded in them after her death probably because of her death John Eckford emigrated to Canada - one who knows the early days in Canada there is nothing new in the story of this family they landed in Montreal July 11th 1851 44 days out from Glasgow they proceeded by steamer to Hamilton the fair being about a dollar for each passenger the next stage was to wealth then on to Durham and finally they came to the end of their journey near Walkerton in Bruce County and the primeval forest from which they cut out a home for themselves and for their children it was the winter of the deep snow one transcription from the record will disclose the scene at length a grave was dug on an all in the bush at the foot of a great maple with a young snow laden hemlock at the side the father and the eldest brother carried the box along the shoveled path the mother close behind was followed by the two families the snow was falling heavily at the grave John Eckford read a song and prayed that they might be able to believe the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting unto them that fear him John McCrae himself was an indefatigable churchgoer there's a note in child's characters written from Edinburg and his 13th year on Sabbath went to service four times there the statement stands in all its austerity a letter from a chaplain is extant in which a certain mild wonder is expressed at the regularity in attendance of an officer of field rank to his shirt taste and poetry the hens were a sword trial only 40 minutes are allowed for the service he said and it is sad to see them snap it up by these poor bald for line things on Easter Sunday 1915 he wrote we've had a church parade this morning the first since we arrived in France truly if the dead rise not we're of all men the most miserable on the funeral service of a friend he remarks for as much as a hath pleased Almighty God what a summary of the whole thing that is on many occasions he officiated in the absence of the chaplains who in those days would have had as many as six services a day in civil life and Montreal he went to church in the evening and sat under the Reverend James Barclay of st. Paul's now designated by some at least as st. Andrews and of the old land and the new recording by Connie chapter 8 of an essay in character appended to Flanders Fields and other poems this is a librivox recording all librivox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org this is a recording by Tony Green an essay in character by Andrew MacPhail chapter 8 the civil years it will be observed in this long relation of John McCrae that little mention has yet been made of what after all was his main concern in life for 20 years he studied and practiced medicine to the end he was an assiduous student in a very profound practitioner he was a student not of medicine alone but of all subjects ancillary to the science and to the task he came with a mind braced by a sound and generous education any education of real value man must have received before he's attained the age of seven years indeed he may be left impervious to its influence at seven weeks John McCrae education began well he began in the time of his two grandfathers at least was continued by his father and mother before he came upon this world scene and by them was left deep founded for him to build upon noble nature's have a repugnance from work manual labor is servitude the day of idleness is a holy day for those whose means do not permit to live in idleness the school is the only refuge but they must prove their quality this is the goal which drives many scotch boys to the University scorn and delights and willing to live long mind laborious days John McRae's father felt bound to give the boy a chance but the boy must pass the test the test in such cases is the Shorter Catechism that compendium of all intellectual argument how the faithful aspirant for the school acquires this body of written knowledge at a time when he has not yet learned the use of letters is a secret not to be lightly disclosed it may indeed be that already his education is complete upon the little book is always printed the table of multiples so that the obvious truth which is comprised in the statement two by two makes four is imputed to the contents which are within the cover in studying the table the Catechism is learned surreptitiously and therefore without self-consciousness so in this well ordered family with its atmosphere of obedience we may see the boy like a youthful Socrates going about with a copy of the book in his hand inquiring of those who could already read not along what were the answers to the questions but the very questions themselves to which an answer was demanded this learning however was only a minor part of life since upon a farm life is very wide and very deep in due time the school was accomplished and there was a master in the school let his name be recalled as William tickler who had a feeling for English writing and a desire to extend that feeling to others in due time also the question of a university arose there was a man in Canada named Orson Sir William Dawson I've written of him in another place he had the idea that the university had something to do with the formation of character and that in that formation of character religion had a part he was principal of McGill I'm not saying that all boys who entered the University were religious boys when they went in or even religious men when they came out but religious fathers had a general desire to place their boys under Sir William Dawson's care those were the days of a queer man now forgotten controversy over what was called science and religion of that also I've written in another place it was left to Sir William Dawson to deliver the last word in defense of a cause that was already lost his book came under the eye of David McCrae as most books of the time did and he was troubled in his heart his boys were at the University of Toronto it was too late but he used his mind by writing a letter to this letter John replies under the date of the 20th of December 1890 you say that after reading Dawson's book you almost regretted that we had not gone to McGill that I consider would have been rather a calamity about as much so as going to Queens we are not always wiser than our fathers were and in the end he came to McGill after all for good or ill John McCrae entered the University of Toronto in 1888 with a scholarship for general proficiency he joined the faculty of arts took the honours course in natural sciences and graduated from the department of biology in 1894 his course having been interrupted by two severe illnesses from natural science it was an easy step to medicine in which he was encouraged by Ramsey Wright a B McCallum a McFerrin and IH Cameron in 1898 e graduate again with a gold medal and a scholarship in physiology and pathology the previous summer he had spent at the Garrett Children's Hospital in Mount Airy Maryland upon graduating he entered the Toronto General Hospital as resident house officer in 1899 he occupied a similar post at Johns Hopkins then he came to McGill University as fellow in pathology and pathologist to the Montreal General Hospital in time he was appointed physician to the Alexandra Hospital for infectious diseases later assistant physician to the Royal Victoria Hospital and lecturer in medicine in the university by examination he became a member of the Royal College of Physicians in London in 1914 he was elected a member of the Association of American physicians these are distinctions won by few in the profession in spite or rather by reason of his various attainments John McCrae never developed or degenerated into the type of the pure scientist for the laboratory he had neither the mind nor the hands he never paid at partial truth so closely as to mistake them for the whole truth therefore he was unfitted for that purely scientific career which was developed to so high a pitch of perfection in that nation which is now no longer mentioned amongst men he wrote much and often upon medical problems the papers bearing his name amount to 33 items in the catalogues they testified to his industry rather than to invention and discovery but they have made his name known in every textbook of medicine apart from his verse and letters and diaries and contributions to journals and books of Medicine with an occasional address to students or to societies John McCrae left few writings and in these there is nothing remarkable by reason of thoughts or expression he could not write prose Finers was easier for verse he could not produce that finer rhythm of prose which comes from the fall of proper words in proper sequence he never learned that if a writer of prose takes care of the sound the sense will take care of itself he did not scrutinize words to discover their first and fresh meaning he wrote in phrases and used words at secondhand as the journalist - bullets rained gun swept shells hailed events transpired and yet his appreciation of style in others was perfect and he was an insatiable reader of the best books his letters are strewn with names of authors whose worth time has proved to specify them would merely be to write the catalogue of a good library the 13 years with which this century opened with a period in which John McCrae established himself in civil life in Montreal and in the profession of Medicine at this period he is left a chronicle which is at once too long and too short all lives are equally interesting if only we are in possession of all the facts places like Oxford and Cambridge have been made interesting because the people who live in them are in the habit of writing and always write about each other family letters have little interest even for the family itself if they consist merely of a recital of the trivial events of the day they are prized for the unusual and for the sentiment they contain Diaries also a door unless they deal with selected incidents and selection is the essence of every art few events have any interest in themselves but any event can be made interesting by the pictorial or literary art when he writes to his mother that as he was coming out to the college an Irish Setter Presta cold nose against his hand that is interesting because it's unusual if he tells us that a professor took him by the arm there is no interest in that to her or to anyone else for that reason the ample letters and diaries which cover those years need not detain us too long there is in them little selection little art too much professor and too little dog it is of course the business of the essayist to select but in the present case there is little to choose he tell us of invitations to dinner accepted evaded or refused but he does not always tell who were there what he thought them or what they had to eat dinner at a Dom ease supper at Rutan's a night with au in T at the Reds theater with the Hickson's a reception at the anguses or a dance at the Allen's these events would all be quite meaningless without an exposition of the social life of Montreal which is too large a matter to undertake the Loring as the task would be even then one would only be giving one's own impression and not his wherever he lived he was a social figure when he sat at table the dinner was never dull the entertainment he offered was not missed by the dullest intelligence his contribution was merely stories and these stories in endless succession were told in a spirit to francophone they were not illustrative admonitory or hora Torre they were just amusing and always fresh this gift he acquired from his mother who had that rare charm of mimicry without mockery and caricature without malice in all his own letters there is not an unkind comment or tinge of ill nature although in places especially in latter years there is a bitter indignation against those Canadian Patriots who were Patriots merely for their bellies sake taken together his letters and diaries are a revelation of the heroic struggle by which a man gains a footing in a strange place in that most particular of all professions a struggle comprehended by those alone who have made the trial of it and yet the method is simple is all disclosed in his words I have never refused any work that was given me to do these records are merely a chronicle of work outdoor clinics laboratory tasks post mortems demonstrating teaching lecturing attendance upon the sick in wards and homes meetings conventions papers addresses editing reviewing the very remembrance of such a career is enough to appalled of stoutest heart but John McCrae was never appalled he went about his work gaily never busy never idle each minute was pressed into the service and every hour was made to count in the first eight months of practice he claims to have made $90 it is many years before we hear him complain of the drudgery of sending our accounts and saying for the services of a bookkeeper this is the only complaint that appears in his letters there were at the time in Montreal two rival schools and yet our two rival hospitals but John McCrae was of no party he was the friend of all men and the confidant of many he sought nothing for himself and by seeking not he found what he most desired his mind was single and his intention pure his acts on solid by selfish thought his aim was true because it was steady and high his aide was never sought for any cause that was unworthy and those humorous eyes could see through the bones to the marrow with a scheme in spite of his singular innocence or rather by reason of it he was the last man in the world to be imposed upon in all this devastating labour he never neglected the assembling of himself together with those who write and those who paint indeed he had himself some small skill in line and Colour he sands with those of an artist to fine and small for a body that weighed 180 pounds and measured more than 5 feet 11 inches in height there was in Montreal an institution known as the pen and pencil Club no one now living remembers a time when it didn't exist it was a peculiar Club it contained no member who should not be in it and no one was left out who should be in the number was about a dozen for 20 years the club met in day in a studio and afterwards as the result of some convulsion at kr Macpherson's the ceremonial supper was eaten once a year at which one dressed the solid one made the coffee and Harris sang a song here all pictures were first shown and writings read if they were not too long if they were there was in an adjoining room a tin chest which in these austere days one remembers was refreshment when John McCrae was offered membership he grew dat it and the place was a home for the spirit wearied by the weeks work there Brimmer and the other artists would discourse upon writings and Burgess and the other writers would discourse upon pictures it is only with the greatest of resolution fortified by a lack of time and space that I've kept myself to the main lines of his career and refrained from following him into by paths and secret Pleasant places but I shall not be denied just one indulgence in the great days when Lord Grey was governor-general he formed a party to visit Prince Edward Island the route was a circuitous one it began at Ottawa it extended to Winnipeg down to Nelson River to York factory across Hudson Bay down the straight by Bell Island and Newfoundland and across the Gulf of st. Lawrence to a place called Orwell Ward gray in the matter of company had the reputation of doing himself well and John McCrae was one of the party he also included John McNaughton LS a memory Lord Percy Lord Lanesboro and one or two others the ship had called at North Sydney where Lady Grey and the Lady Evelyn joined through the place in a deep ravine runs an innocent stream which broadens out into still pools dark under the olders there was a rod a very beautiful rod in two pieces it excited his suspicion it was put into his hand the first strangest hand that had ever held it and the first cast shows that it was a worthy hand the sea trout were running that afternoon thirty years before in that memorable visit to Scotland he had been taken aside by an old friend of his grandfather's it was there he learned to love the to tease the love and the art never left him it was at this same old well that his brother first heard the world call to arms on the early August morning in 1914 in those civil years that were of course died versions visits to the United States and meetings with multiple men Welsh butcher heard White Howard Barker voyages to your with a detailed itinerary upon the record walks and rides upon the mountain excursion in winter to the woods and in summer to the lakes and one visit to the Packard's in Maine with the sea enthusiastically described upon those woodland excursions and upon many other adventures his companion is often referred to as Billy T who can be no other than Lieutenant Colonel WG Turner MC what she's left out of the diary that we would wish to have recorded there is tantalizing mention of conversations with Shepherd with Radek with Chipman without strong with gardner with Martin and with Moyes occasionally there is a note of description James Maeva is a kindly genius with much knowledge Tait McKenzie presided ideally at a Shakespeare dinner Stephen Leacock does not keep all the good things for his publisher those who know the life in Montreal may well for themselves supply the details end of chapter 8

Perspectives on Indigenous Pedagogy webinar
And I'm really excited to be able to have two of our chapters in the book highlighted by two groups of authors. One is a single author and the other one is. It has a group of authors here today, so I'm going to start by introducing Dr. Keri Cheechoo, who is Iskwew probably said that wrong, Keri Sorry about that. From the community of Long Lake #58 First Nation, which is located in northwestern Ontario. Kerry is a mom, a Kokum, a grandmother and a scholar who works to both resist and subvert systemic and structural. institutional racisms Dr Cheechoo is a Cree scholar who uses poetic inquiry, which is an art space methodology in a good way that connects her spirituality or spiritual opposite for writing with educational research, she situates her pedagogy, both approaches of ethical relationality and her Nisgaa methodological framework, which is framed by protocol. mamatowisin or engaging inner mindfulness and reciprocity. So welcome, Keri. And over to you. Wachiye, Miigwech, I really appreciate that. Umm, alright, I'm gonna switch over to my PowerPoint and I will continue my introduction there. One moment. OK, well, I don't know what it's doing. It's not the way it's there though. You got it. We just had to talk about. OK, perfect. Alright, so I'm gonna turn my camera off and I'll be here chatting. So welcome to. This portion of the presentation, which I'll be talking about my chapter titled Inside Out or Storying through Truths and Reclamation. Umm. As indicated previously, I am Dr Keri Cheechoo I am an assistant professor and chair at Wilfrid Laurier University and I am in the indigenous studies, law and Social Justice Department. And I wanna say watch it. I always begin any kind of conversation. Our presentation with situating myself and indicating you know who I am and how I locate myself, and I do this so that we build a good relationship together. So before I do that, I want to acknowledge that I am a visitor on the traditional territories of the Neutral, Anishinaabe. And Haudenosaunee peoples. And onwards. So Miigwich, Sheila I am from Long Lake #58 First Nation, and this is a slide that indicates where my community is. If you're familiar with Northwestern Ontario, you'll know that it's about four hours ish from Thunder Bay ON which is where I grew up. I've never lived in my community. See, my father was apprehended and taken to residential schools, and when he aged out of residential schools, he ended up being disconnected. Of course, the assimilationist policies were successful and he was unable, unable to reconnect with his family. So he moved to Thunder Bay, and that's kind of where, you know, we, my brother and myself grew up. So that's a portion of where I'm locating myself further to location. I want to show you some images, so this is like my family. I wanna locate and remember who I am and create community with each of you by showcasing my relationships. So on the left hand side, you'll see my maternal grandmother and my maternal grandfather. The top is my mom and dad. The middle is my brother and myself, umm, and on the right is my paternal grandfather. So you'll see my grandfathers. They're both traditional, but you know, we sometimes we need to locate ourselves and what traditionality means. So my maternal grandfather, he. Yeah. Was, you know, he followed like the power trail. He was traditional in the sense that he, you know, dressed in regalia and he followed, you know, dancing. And he had a dance troop and all these things. And then my paternal grandfather, he ended up, you know, living off the land and doing the best he could with harvesting. And all of these spaces serve to locate myself, and I include my brother and myself in the middle, because within this family structure we are my brother and myself are Cree from different territories and my uh, my entire family's initial day or Ojibwe. So it's been difficult to navigate, you know, being adopted from different spaces and then into the space of, you know, familial uh, you know, contextuality lies. So this is where it really allocate myself in the Middle East and myself and my partner Patrick and I really tried to engage the space of ethical relationality which I'll be speaking to more later. But so we have five children. They're all adults and we have 3 grandchildren and this is the the right to photo on my right is like myself with my 3 grandkids, umm. And then you'll see my plant-friend that is Medusa, and she's pretty. Like vigorous and thriving And then my pet friends and the small one on the left is Doctor Elliott, and the larger one is Kratos, and it's important for me to show you the different relationships in my life because this is how I locate myself. Like this is my family and this is how I remind myself of who I am. All right, so the goals of this presentation is to share the importance of engaging and ethical relationality and making community as an Iskwew, scholar and educator. And another goal is to speak to you and through the intertextuality is potentialities and complexities of Mino Pimatisiwin. And if you're not familiar with that term, it means a good life, and also to engage and embody best practices around student engagement and support. I feel like I'm rushing a little bit, but I want to ensure that you know, we both have our presentations in a timely matter. So my critical pedagogies are based on authoring my Cree way of knowing, and I do that through a collaborative, creative process by engaging my ancestral aptitudes and conversational methodologies. I also strive to honor indigenous epistemology by resisting and reforming Western thought by engaging in ethical relationality and honoring kinship systems. So they're again, is that ethical relationality piece, but shall be speaking to, like right now? Alright, so this is how I actually ground myself and this is how I frame everything I do when I am moving forward with any kind of relationship. I strive to make sure that I'm engaging ethical relationality. So typically I talk about safe spaces and all these good things, but for the sake of time, I'm gonna just kind of break it down to explaining these two things and how I work from these two spaces. So Dwayne Donald, amazing scholar. He says that ethical space is a space of possibility that can only be created when we are dealing with two different world views or knowledge systems. So when we think about that broadly, we can think about Indigenous and non-Indigenous learners and scholars. And then from that space, we can think about ethical relationality and how it doesn't deny difference, but instead it seeks to deeply understand how our different histories and experiences position us in relation to each other. So in order to have like fulsome robust relationships with students, with colleagues, with friends, peers, family. I think it's always good to go with it knowing that dynamic that you're accountable to the energies that you bring with you, that you're, you know, you're engagement with different synergies is reliant on your transparency. You know, who you are as a person. Being accountable to that space, being accountable to really considering the thoughts that are in your head before you go ahead and say them right. So this is the space where I work from. So Ethical Relationality is a concept that respectfully supports the space of Indigenous and non-Indigenous perspectives. While acknowledging truths about our shared histories and relationships, so when we talk about something like Canada is atrocious histories and that historical consciousness piece that should be aligned with, you know, the different pieces that we take up and we try to navigate history, we need to acknowledge that we are all responsible for somethings in some ways, right. So when it comes to reconciliation, Indigenous people have nothing to reconcile. But recognizing that there are allies and accomplices who are willing to work with us to have a better future for the next generations, move some of the good pieces that I like to consider when I talk about ethical relationality. All right, so on to the chapter. So my chapter explores a trifecta of themes you know, one being storytelling, another being Indigenous education theory and practice, and creating culturally sustaining pedagogies. So, to engage storytelling, I share my lived experiences and a literacy resource teacher in this chapter and. I have shared two lived experiences and I wanna share that. I'm a I'm an Ontario certified teacher and I remain in good standing. And I've been certified since 2014 and you have no idea how happy I am to see that there have been seismic shifts in Indigneous Education. Have you know that have occurred since then? So you know, we can really thank these amazing, you know, dynamos like Sheila and Taima just for going ahead and forging the path for all of us to become these better scholars and better educators. And so I wanna share that. Before I was a university Prof, I was, you know, I was a literacy resource teacher, and I was also the library in which I wanna share is like, probably one of the best jobs you could ever have. You know, you get to see so many students and just read with them and share. It's such a good space to be in. But when I was hired to become a, you know, a resource teacher, I was trained like that. my education is grounded in specializing in Indigenous education. it was in this school that I really became acquainted, or I guess I could say, reacquainted with epistemological violence that encouraged a like a "me versus them" mentality. And it could have been because I was new to the profession, new to the community, or because I am an Iskwew or a woman with children of her own that I felt that he needed to kind of push back and resist that ignorance and the ignorance I'm talking about is the violence of settler teachers who also worked in the school with me. You know, hindsight, of course, is always 2020 and when I look back, I recognize that I was not prepared to work with teachers who were hired because of lack, you know, and lack is evident in so many spaces. You know, there's a lack of certified teachers. There's a lack of funding dollars. There's a lack of being able to draw educators to a semi remote place. And you know, quite frankly, we were in different places professionally. I was hired to. You know, to promote and shift the different ways the community wanted to move forward and they had a school board educational plan and I was on board with that plan and I was trying to move forward. But my presence created tension. And I couldn't shift these teachers away from. I didn't even know this was something that occurred, but people like teaching from a box, it's like literal box on the floor and you just choose like what day it is. Like February 26th and whatever's on that page is what this taught to the students. So that was something I was surprised to see. And I tried to create strategy after strategy to improve student literacy, but there were ignored and I think it was because, well, I didn't think I realized that there was some anti-Indigenous racism happening and it was because I was an Indigenous educator that I was disregarded. So I did walk into several anti-Indigenous conversations about me creating more work for everyone in the school because I was trying to push the educational plan forward and I was trying to create an uphold strategies and policies about student safety and Wellness as being number one. But it was like a difficult space to be, and I actually encountered a lot of different violences even to coming right down to providing fresh fruit to the students. I interacted with daily, which I mean as a librarian, I interacted with grades like JK right to grade 12. So onto my next narrative, I wanna share that, you know, as a literacy resource teacher, it was my job to prepare students for the EQAO testing, which is standardized testing that's administrative province wide and it's used to assess student success with literacy and math. So I was pretty shocked to see the stats coming out of our school, but not shocked overall because we all know that indigenous schools are chronically underfunded. And when I was preparing students to become familiar with the process of the actual testing, you know, we couldn't coach them. We couldn't put any input into anything. There's no chatting with your peers. You know, I tried to provide strategies on how to use our time efficiently. UM, but we're already in deficit. Once I saw the questions so I don't know if anyone has actually engaged with the questions that EQAO has crafted, but they were questions like, what are the white birds that we see all over and what rumbles underground and gets us from point A to point B like this was a space where a plane was a remote possibility of seeing. So there was no seagulls in this community and you know what is rumbling underground like a subway? So, because we couldn't actually, you know, coach, the students to be. You know, knowing what these things were, they were like already a deficit because they couldn't even fathom what these things would be. So despite all of the prep, those you know questions were incomprehensible. There was no way to teach the test, which is, you know what a stupid thought teachers do and. Unsurprisingly, the school scored extremely low. Again, uh, and I don't know if you know this or not, but the government tactically uses information from accumulated scores to determine and underscore where successes and failures lay. So when we have this aggregated data which is also, I wanna remind you under an engagement of data sovereignty. Umm, I work with other literacy, Indigenous literacy experts, and we determine that we we're going to always be in this cycle of being chronically underfunded because we had low literacy scores, which meant the government did not wanna put dollars into the space. Right. So you know, time and time again, funding continues to be reduced, literacy program is cancelled, programming is cancelled and First nation children always left in deficit. So you know something? I grappled with that and I still grapple with is. How could you know a small core of determine Indigenous educators promote minimal pain medicine, let alone flourish in that space. And honestly, like colonial colonialism, is ugly. And it's really, really persistent. Alright, so the next theme I wanna talk about is engaging Indigenous education theory and practice discourse and I want to share that there is no singular practice. I mean if it was, there was a singular practice that would be in an antithesis to Indigenous education, right? So I was reading a lot of different pieces written by Indigenous scholars, like the Battiste, Donald Hart, Young Blood and I was struck by the fact that while we may have differences and pedagogies, the foundation remains the same. We all desire to shift the education that our kin receive, and we want new generations to reach for the stars because that's where all of our relations are, right? We want our children, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, all of their children, to be rerooted and learn from the land which is actually their land. So we are collectively working to shift the periphery and the boundaries and dismantle the barriers upheld by anti-Indigenous racism and ongoing colonialism. So as mentioned, there is no singular Indigenous education theory and practice discourse. Umm, but what there is is a large collective of Indigenous scholars collaborating in a way through their own epistemological spaces that includes worldviews, ways of knowing, and ways of being. So I know this and I share for my own positionality is a Cree scholar, educator. But I also incorporate teachings from those whose scholarship resonates with my own pedagogy, and that includes, like people like Bell, Carlson, Mantanara and vowel. And no, it's really rewarding to see that distinguished scholars such as Linda Smith ruminates similarly about collective educational movements. She has gone on to said that say that I know that I gain new insights about my contacts when I read what others have said about their contacts and experiences. It is serendipitous that skull is right about matters that are shared by other indigenous people across jurisdictions. Or do we indeed have shared experience and I shared struggle and Indigenous education? So this makes good sense because the very process of sharing experiences and sharing struggles generates community through a common goal, right? We want our children, our youth and our young adults to thrive. And then? So, you know, moving through this trifecta, I wanted to also talk about, you know, engaging culturally sustainable pedagogies and I share through truths and reclamations. So I'm taking us on this journey. Gonna circle back and you know, wrap it up in a moment. But I want to share that. You know, when we make these integral connections, I wanna speak to the spaces that are critical to me as Iskwew, a Cree woman. Right? And I know that there's a pedagogy out there that some of us may recognize as, you know, a conceptualization of goodness umm or the red road If you're not familiar with that term, it's like where you. You're kind of in this space where you're not partaking in anything negative. No negative coping strategies and instead you're trying to walk on this path that the creator has crafted for us. And I had to first conceptualize what what that Red Road was for me. I was taught it through an Ojibway or Anishinaabe lens, which was always inauthentic because I could never see to that lens. I couldn't participate as an initiality person through that lens. Right? So, because my parents are intergenerational survivors of residential school. There, their ties to their traditionality, of course, were different. My brother and I attended and watched how I was, but we didn't because of a adoptor and adoptee dynamics and discord. We really just sat on the sidelines as we watched the rest of the family embrace and embody their cultures. So we kind of powers where we couldn't participate. We didn't have regalia. I witnessed ceremony, but I was not included into the space, so it was a difficult space to navigate. As watching uh, you know, watching and listening to my family talk about the red road and how everyone is included in that space, but also not being able to engage that space was a it was a difficult to analyze how that was living the good life. If only some of us were included in that space. So I also learned peripherally that if you chose to do things like drink alcohol or consume drugs or anything, or engage in smoking, it was antithesis to the concept of the red road. Right. And if you choose to do these things, you're essentially out or you're ostracized, and your presence could be considered problematic. And the space was super unforgiving and I could never understand how the red road was something that was particularly loving and kind and extending grace if we were turning actively turning our backs on our own family. So fast forward to my adult life and away from my adopted family, and I realized that you know the concept of the red road as it was introduced to me was harmful. And I really worked to, yeah, kind of engage in different ways of thinking. And and I didn't understand how things like the impacts of cultural genocide, intergenerational trauma, or 60 scoop anything like that could just be ignored. Umm, I didn't understand how that representation of us. You know that overrepresentation of us everywhere, like from incarceration to the ongoing apprehension of our children's medical and health disparities, medical racisms I didn't understand how none of these things were being brought into that discussion. So I sat with it and I sat with it for years and years and years. I wanted Mino Pimatisiwin I wanted the good life but I did not wanna be hypocritical. So I wanted to engage ethical relationality in a way that offered me a a path to this, you know, quote unquote Red Road. And then I was introduced to harm reduction, and which has been around since the 1980s, but it was new to me, and if you're not familiar with it, it's a strategy public health strategy that works to reduce the harms associated with certain behaviours. And after a while I started to conceptualize this as a way of, you know, imagining the red Road in a different way. So I imagine I began to imagine opportunities of intertextuality is and like I said, potentialities and the complexities of how I could engage the good life and continue while these good things with this new lens. Right. And that's when I realized it that if I could do the good work to live and work in an ethically relational way, through unlearning my biases, which we all have, if I was reflexive and respectful, if I reciprocated along the way, I was making space. And what I was doing was I was making and holding space for those with imperfect pasts and offering opportunities to see. And you know, penicillin in a space at is not perfect that only you know, not only perfect people can access. Once I was offered that lens and I was able to see myself through it. I realized that there are no perfect people. And that we're all medicine, right. So that's what I strive to do. I worked to engage all these different things and I worked to embodiment of Mino Pimatisisin this new lens. And yeah, that's it. Be good. Thanks very much, Carrie. That was a wonderful talk and thank you for sharing your own personal experiences, which you know are really kind of foundational to the way that a lot of Indigenous educators work. Right. And going through this whole process around relationality, so we'll have time for questions at the end. But for the moment, I'm going to introduce the next group of speakers. Umm, so we've got a team of four that are presenting next. Joey Lynn Wabi is Algonquin from the Wolf Lake First Nation. Her anishnaabe nose, one is Jing Walkway. I hope I said that right, Joey. Which loosely translates to Spring women's spring women, which is just around the corner, fears from the Caribou Clan and has three children. Who she considered gifts from the creator. She's also an associate professor in the School of Indigenous Relations at Laurentian University, which is situated on the ancestral territory of Attic machine Anishinabek Taylor Watkins is a non indigenous ally and settler residing in the Robinson year on treaty territory and the traditional lands of the attic machine. Anishinabek Taylor is a recent grad from the MA and Interdisciplinary Health at Laurentian University and is currently working as the research coordinator for the Mamoswine Indigenous Research Institute at Laurentian. Anastasia Shartrand is a non indigenous ally residing in the Robinson year on treaty area and on the traditional lens of the attic machine Anishinabek. She was raised on the traditional lands of the Cree Ojibway in Algonquin peoples as well as Beaver House First Nation. Anastasia is a recent grad of the Master of Science and Communication Program at Laurentian and is currently doing a Mitacs internship internship with the City of Greater Sudbury. Anesthesia is Laurentian University's nature. Positive coordinator and the Co chair of the Environmental Sustainability Committee. And last but not least, Marnie Anderson is a proud Anishnaabe Quay and mixed European ancestry, living in the wanna Patay First Nation. Recently, she completed the Interdisciplinary Health Graduate program at Laurentian University. Her interest lie in understanding the environment, health, disposition, Treaty history, First Nation marginalization and indigenous health policy. So welcome, and I'll turn it over to this great group. Just give me a quick moment and I'll share my screen. And so once I share my screen, I won't be able to see anybody. So uh, just let me know when we need to do it. Next slide. Perfect. Thank you, Marie. And that looks OK. Yeah, it looks great. Perfect. OK. So hello everyone. To begin, we would like to start our presentation today by thanking both Doctor Sheila Cote unique and Timothy Pickering for the opportunity to publish a chapter in their book. We would also like to take a moment to acknowledge that we, as a group, as well as Laurentian University, our situated on the traditional lands of the attaching Anishinabek and neighboring reserve, one of Italy First Nation, we will begin at presentation today by providing everyone with some background information regarding the purpose of our chapter and next slide please money. Perfect. Uh. And so this is just a basic overview of what we will be talking about today throughout the course of our presentation. So I was previously mentioned, we'll start with a very brief introduction regarding the course outline and the course objectives as well as the structure of the course in relation to the medicine wheel framework. We will talk about the eastern and southern quadrants as well as the Western and northern quadrants as well. And then we will conclude our presentation. But the mutual, flourishing and educational setting is begins with the recognition that the integration of indigenous cultural values and ways of knowing are often neglected in Western educational institutions, which is imperative for all learners to understand indigenous ways of knowing and doing. Valuing and centering indigenous values in educational areas can help foster a learning environment relevant to indigenous learners, while also providing non indigenous learners the opportunity to become informed regarding indigenous history and culture through an indigenous perspective. Next slide please. Thank you. The purpose of our chapter was to share our stories about a 12 week master level course at Laurentian University. That was revisioned by an Algonquin Anishinabe quest scholar and a settler graduate teaching assistant using experiential arts, storytelling and land based pedagogical practices. And I will turn it over to Doctor Joey Lynn Lobby. Magwitch tailor umm. Quick way everyone. Just a little bit about our course description. So this program is through Laurentian in the Master of Indigenous Relations and and what we wanted to do was revision it. We we used the objectives of course and, you know, didn't sway away from the perspectives that were there before that we while we are on initiative back territory and to be respectful of that. So we want to ensure that we recovering that. So the director at the time. Well, now, now still is Doctor Timothy Pickering. And she said, Joey, go ahead. Do what you want to do with the course. Umm you know? So I'm like, hey, that's awesome. And I love that flexibility within our department and our ability to do what we what, not what we want within reason of course. So I pictured it with the natural the natural resources from an indigenous perspective. And so for myself, you know, going a little bit deeper than an indigenous perspective for me it would be an Algonquin Anishinaabeg Quay perspective and the Allied scholar or the allied person that was working with me was and still is Taylor Watkins. So that's our course and that was the course and the course outline that was given to me with the encouragement to do what you want to do with this course. So we looked at it from the four elements. So Earth, fire, air and water. And there's a there's a diagram in the chapter if we can go to the next slide, it might be there. Ohh, I think it's in the next couple of slides. OK, now can we just forward to one minute? Do you want me to go to? Yeah. Thanks. Yep. Umm. So yeah, so we looked at it from in the middle, the course being, uh, the heart of what we were doing for the 12 weeks and then looking at the four elements on the outside. And so the first week we went through was Earth and we talked about different concepts. We had two books. Assigned, which were braiding sweetgrass and the Michaelmas Book, 1 by Robin Wall, Kimmerer and the other one by Eddie Benton. Bonnet and the students were to read those you know, certain stories, you know, creation stories and chapters from each book. And then what? What we did was we always had a guest speaker come in to wrap things together and wrap it up. So we had Emily Bourger tasse from the indigenous. My gosh, vision student affairs and she came in and she talked about the medicine garden. So in that first week, looking at Earth talking about creation stories, Sky Woman, the medicines, and then we went to visit the Medicine Garden on campus. And from that, to culminate that one aspect and that one element, we did a reflective expression. So they were all connected, each each. Uh. Each reflective expression to the element and then in week two we had our fire. Our fire was talking about, you know, fire building sustainability. I'm talking about how fire can give life, but can take away life. And we talked about that, you know that that relationship and talked about use of fire and ceremony protection also the rights of passage to. And we had a land protector come in that that week, one of the weeks, Shannon chief from an anishinabe mouse studies and she talked about Moose. But she also talked about the land that they live on in in one of the parks up in Algonquin territory and how they reclaim space up there as a land protector. And we also had Darren McGregor from Sagamok additional back come in and talk about fire and and also he demonstrated you know how to start fire from natural elements that we find on Mother Earth. And then the next one, of course was our break and we had our reflective expression #2 and then the students were to create stories from the medicines perspective. So for example, you know someone talked about themselves as if they were sweetgrass, and then we had an opportunity to open it up to the community and we talked about it from from the perspective of the medicine. And then the third week was air. We talked about climate change. You know the balance, the relationship we have with air, we talked about movement and breath and also we had a climate warrior come in and that was Shelly essence from both solely First Nation and she talked about the importance of, you know, Gawain plastic, you know, no plastic. And that was wonderful also. And then the next time, the next week. Sorry, the next aspect is the reflective expressions we had that first and then the next aspect is water. So we talked about the flow of life. You know, same thing with water and fire and all of the elements. And you know, it can take life and it can give life. And we had someone come in. That was a Barry faster. Julia Coleman from both Lake First Nation, who did her very fast when she was 13. So she talked about that and then to pull it all together, we had a community roundtable and we had invited everyone from the Lu Community and also from the community of Sudbury area to come in and listen to the students talk about their experiences. So this was a really fun. Of course, to teach and also to learn from, because I also learned a lot from each person. That was that attended and I think it it also allowed us to solidify relationships to not only each other, but also to the land and our responsibility. So now what we're gonna do is we're going to talk about each one. I believe more specifically, so I'll turn it over to the next presenter Midwich. Taylor, did you just want to speak on this slide before we get into the sections? Yeah, sure. Umm. Essentially, the slide entails information that Joey Lynn has already mentioned about the course in just the sense that this course did go against the mainstream academic training traditionally found in Westernized educational institutions. The course was really structured based on fostering that connection between the learner's holistic health as well as how that relates to the land and Earth's natural resources. OK, so now we're getting into the section. That's Marnie speaking. I don't know if you can see me, but just so that you know it's it's me what we did for the chapter is we split up each section for reflection piece from the students. And so I'm just gonna go into earth, but I just wanted to mention that Simon Leslie, he's not on the on the presentation today, but he's the one who contributed to the reflection of this chapter as well. He introduced himself as a settler originally from Treaty 3 territory, and he's a student at Laurentian University and and currently lives in Sudbury. And so this was the first few weeks in the first quadrant. So the the, the Earth quadrant and the eastern direction. And like Joy was saying, it was set up in a way, along with the academic literature that she had mentioned that we were reading but set up in a way so that we could have lots of discussions. And so looking into the creation stories, it was really perfect to have both the uh creation story by anishinabe in the uh, sorry book by the motionless book by Robert sorry by Edward Benton, but Bonnie as well as this guy woman's story. So these creation stories just helped help us understand the relationship with land and it's importance and really gave a perspective from that sense. These stories we know that are often told they're told in in. Sometimes it takes a few days to tell them so. It was really nice to be able to to understand these stories in a way and how it relates to land. I'm going through information like the for example the mega mega shell showing up in creation stories to guide anishnaabe and just understanding how those relationships work and and having opportunity to ask questions because sometimes it was hard to really grasp the the vastness of these stories. So a lot of opportunities were allowed and discussions were had just to kind of be able to help us give us a better perspective. The white man's footsteps. Sorry, was the importance of reciprocity as well as this, reciprocity was really a consistent theme throughout the the whole. I felt like this whole section because we were learning about the honorable harvest, which really talks about only take when what is given, using it well to be grateful to, to reciprocate those gifts, and all of these things that were mentioned in Robin Wall Kimmerer's book, braiding sweetgrass, but suppress prosody, was really something that was discussed in detail because it's something that is seen everywhere amongst every animal and plant and and and human nation. So the the last part and and how Simon introduced it in the book was, you know, we were talking about all these things and it was really empowering and and moving. But then as we moved into the next section of this earth section, we really started learning about, you know, the mining exploitation and looking at the mining industry and activity across Canada as well as within subject specifically because that's where our education was taking place and the impacts that come with it. And so all of this, how it relates in relation to to violence and extraction gave a really good, well rounded view on on, on the earth, on what's happening to it right now, how that's all I'm affected and related. And it was a really good start to to the course the guest speaker, like Dylan said, the Medicine garden. It was really neat to Start learning the history because the medicine Garden was right at Laurentian University, so when she had this speaker come in and she was speaking about sort of these places and pace places that she started the garden at, it was it was awesome to kind of have somewhere to know and we can go visit. And we were in the middle of it was a hybrid course. So there was we were allowed to go back to the university after a few weeks, but we were able to go see it at her own will because it was right at the university. So it was perfect. You can hear me click my papers. OK, this is the fire quadrant. This is just the next section. This is the piece that I myself was able to to write a background on and talk a little bit about my reflections, and this was a really great quadrant because we had a big discussion around fire building and we had access to the wigwam which was on located on Laurentian University and it it allowed us to have fires during some of our courses and and some of the. I wanna say like presentation days. We were able to go and and utilize that space and so it was really nice to have that as well as our. I'll speak to this later, but our our firekeeper came in and and spoke more to to fire building. We had four sustainability. Umm, of course. Four or five years, inner, fire and spirit. We had a really great activity about on because we learned about the three sisters soup, we learned about all of the medicines and so we were had the opportunity to make a three sisters through three sisters soup and and almost it brought like a smell and a taste as well as a reflection to accessibility of foods because we had participants that were participating from up north and none of in you can call it. And so accessibility of food. But we were able to taste and and smell and and really enjoy some of the things that we were learning and I really felt that that was unique because we were learning about it. We learned the history of how it was so important and then we were able to taste and smell and and have it at home. People of the 7th fire teaching came. The renewal and change that came with forest fires because they're they're viewed as destructive, but they're also a part of renewal and a new ecosystem. And then, of course, the the fire use in ceremony utilizing again the wigwam at Laurentian, but using it in ceremony and in other aspects cause there's similarly there's nations across Canada that that use fire in that way and then protection. There was a really great conversations around forest sustainability and old growth forests and really great chapter and Robin Wall Kimmerer's book about about old growth forests and the protection of them. We were lucky in this section to have two guest speakers, the FIREKEEPER and the land protector. So the firekeeper was talking about how First Nations view fire as a spiritual doorway and really gave us like a hands on your a visual to see how that fire was created. But how was created with with Flint, but also new alternative ways of starting fire? Of course, like the the matches and lighter. Umm and the the sorry the land protector, sharing knowledge of protected lands of logging and spoke of repercussions of resource extraction and the harm inflicted on and wildlife. So she had talked a bit about her advocacy with moose, and it was really relatable because although she was located in a different location, the way she spoke about sort of the parks and that protection and the people she had to connect with really gave her perspective no matter where you are, there's there's a park. And in that advocacy, work needs to happen. So it was really enlightening, and now I just, I guess to finish with my reflection that I had put into the book. I'm really grateful for this course and the reflexivity woven through the fire quadrant really increased my insight into just perspectives of my own, and I really enjoyed the the discussion pieces because everyone in the class was from a different, you know, perspective. So we were able to to really kind of understand and get a a really well rounded view as we were learning and it was timely because it allowed me to reflect on the sacredness of my own inner fire. I was going through a lot of grief at the time and this really this course, the amount of hands on and different modes of listening and hearing stories and doing crafts. And going to the wigwam really just kind of what was that called, the interactive nature, I guess of the course really allowed me to learn how teaching and knowledge can be delivered in a way that's that's memorable and impactful. And yeah, it's just. I'll I'll stop there because I feel like I could talk about it forever and I'll just go on to the next part. OK. Hi everyone. It's Anastasia speaking now. I'm honored to share highlights from the the West Quadrant, which is focusing on the element of air. So I know I was already introduced already, but I do wanna say I'm a non indigenous person living on the traditional territory of the Anishinabek and I'm learning and working continually on being an ally and for me that really looks like a lot of reading and listening right now and this course I think was very foundational to that. This course that I had the privilege of being part of, along with writing for this chapter, we're really special and and cherished learning opportunities for me. And I just wanted to start by thinking everyone involved for thinking. Thank you for inviting me into these opportunities. Umm, so the western quadrant, the air quadrant, we focused a lot of our learning on the relationships between climate change. Scud mcquay. And indigenous people, we talked about the disproportionate effects that climate change have on indigenous people facing things like the loss of land and resources to human rights violations. But we also spent time celebrating. So celebrating indigenous wisdom and innovation, specifically when it comes to things like climate change mitigation and then adaptation, we also explored the significance of error and how it represents mental, mental, and spiritual processes. I like Joey had mentioned earlier, we did have a guest speaker for this quadrant. Her name is Shelly Essence. She shared stories that emphasize just how important it is to take responsibility for defending whether Earth or Chicago Mcquay. She shared stories of climate action that was community driven, that she had been part of and really reminded us that it's our responsibility to future generations to do this work. So there was one quote that even though this course was two years ago and it really still sticks with me and it's that we do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children. So for myself, I have two kids, young kids under the age of five. This is still very much resonates with me and reminds me almost every day that I need to continue taking climate action for these future generations and working on fixing my own relationship with the nature. Something else that I found really impactful from Shelley's guest lecture was that all of her stories that she shared with us were woven with gratitude and acknowledgement. Acknowledgement. So that was gratitude and acknowledgement for things like the land and medicines and elders and knowledge keepers and sisters. And I think this personally is something that I can work on integrating and I also carry. I really like how you had said where all medicines. I don't know if I've heard that before, but today that really sticks out to me and I think that might be another quote that will stay up in my repertoire, appear as a constant reminder. Umm yeah, so near the end of the air quadrant. We did a watercoloring activity where we used air through breath to move paint around the canvas, so we had to use straws and we blew paint all around making some some beautiful artwork. It was a good opportunity to reflect on all of the learning that happened within the quadrant, so this activity with the paint and the breath, along with the discussions that we had this story sharing all of the reflexive practices that we had the opportunity to take part in, specifically the one centered around air and climate change, it really, really helped shape my understanding of my role in the environmental crisis. And I remember at the end of one of our classes, we're assigned homework to just go out into nature and and just breathe. And I spent time watching clouds. And it sounds simple, but as a student you don't have to take time for that kind of connecting. And I made a note to try to prioritize doing this more regularly, which I know it's been two years and it might not happen as often as I would like, but I do remember to do it once in a while and it's helped me to be more conscious about how I interact with nature and how I can work towards being have better relative. Yet so money, if you don't mind going to the next slide following the West Quadrant, we transition into the final quadrant of this course exploring the north where we focused on learning from water. So in this quadrant, we had some really great discussions about water, not just it being a basic element, but it being like this incredibly powerful symbol of life and renewal. And interconnectedness. So I'll be highlighting points from the contributions of my classmate Ariana, so Ariana introduced herself as a social worker. And a master student. And in this chapter, she shares her experiences as a settler living within an Inuit territory. Of none of it, she emphasized her commitment to understanding and supporting indigenous communities and trying to decolonize social work spaces. So for this quadrant, Ariana shared her summary of the last few weeks of class and we talked a lot about water as this dynamic force, how it, you know. Umm. Gives life and takes life, and that cycle starts over again and throughout this course we learned about the medicine cycle and we were able to relate the water cycle back to that continuous cycle of the medicine wheel. Umm, we also had an opportunity to watch a documentary that included Autumn Peltier. It shared a lot of important learnings for us about how water rights impacted indigenous communities all across Turtle Island, and we had some supplemental reading that focused on colonial governance and different ongoing challenges about indigenous water rights. And it really emphasized that water is a lot more than just a resource. It's really woven into culture and identity, so throughout these couple of weeks where we spent time in this northern quadrant, we did have final guest speaker who are grateful to hear from. She was a young Algonquin woman. She shared a story that detailed that her transition into womanhood and rites of passage that she underwent, and these were deeply connected to water. I'm. Yeah. Overall, the north quadrant was about recognizing the significance of water. I'm beyond. It's actual physical properties and understanding that it's a sacred and dynamic force. Thank you. Thank you, Marnie. And Anastasia, for for sharing your experiences throughout throughout this course. So just to conclude our presentation, so as we move through the medicine wheel framework, experiential land and arts based activities were heavily embedded within each quadrant. We're learners have the opportunity to engage in activities, as many of you have heard from Marnie and Anastasia, and these activities included the error bubble art. As you could see in the top picture on the screen as well as creating key chain resin molds. As you could see in the bottom left image, there was a rhythm and flow to the course creation, implementation and evaluations of the learners are creation and storytelling. We incorporated multiple sharing circles. Spent time in the wigwam on campus. We worked closely with the sacred elements as well as followed the body, mind, spirit framework with a focus on community and relational accountability. So nevertheless, land based teaching and learning is a part of a transformative education and innovative solutions. By taking students out of the classroom and onto the land, who is our very first teacher and mernie do my just going to the next slide? So we just like to end our presentation today by talking about this quote by Robin Wall Kimmerer, who is the author of braiding sweetgrass. So to become naturalized is to live as if your child's future matters. To take care of the land, as if our lives and the lives of our relatives depend on it because they do. And I would like to thank everyone for being in attendance today for a presentation.

Aurora (astronomy) | Wikipedia audio article
an Aurora plural Aurora's or or a sometimes referred to as polar lights Northern Lights aurora borealis or Southern Lights Aurora Australis is a natural light display in the Earth's sky predominantly seen in the high latitude regions around the Arctic and Antarctic Aurora's are produced when the magnetosphere is sufficiently disturbed by the solar wind that the trajectories of charged particles in both solar wind and magnetospheric plasma mainly in the form of electrons and protons precipitate them into the upper atmosphere thermosphere exosphere due to Earth's magnetic field where their energy is lost the resulting ionization and excitation of atmospheric constituents emits light of varying color and complexity the form of the aurora occurring within bands around both polar regions is also dependent on the amount of acceleration imparted to the precipitating particles precipitating protons generally produce optical emissions as incident hydrogen atoms after gaining electrons from the atmosphere proton Aurora's are usually observed at lower latitudes topic etymology the word Aurora comes from the Latin word for dawn morning light since Aurora's were formerly thought to be the first light of dawn topic occurrence of terrestrial aurorus most aurorus occur in a band known as des a rural zone which is typically three degrees to six degrees wide in latitude in between ten degrees and 20 degrees from the geomagnetic poles at all local times or longitudes most clearly seen at night against a dark sky a region that currently displays an Aurora is called the auroral oval a band displaced towards the night side of the earth early evidence for a geomagnetic connection comes from the statistics of auroral observations elias Loomis 1860 and later Hermann Fritz 1881 and s traum Holt 1882 in more detail established that the aurora appeared mainly in the auroral zone day to day positions of the auroral ovals are posted on the internet in northern latitudes the effect is known as the aurora borealis or the Northern Lights the former term was coined by Galileo in 1619 from the Roman goddess of the dawn and the Greek name for the north wind the southern counterpart the aurora australis or the Southern Lights has features almost identical to the aurora borealis and changes simultaneously with changes in the Northern auroral zone the aurora australis is visible from high southern latitudes in Antarctica Chile Argentina New Zealand and Australia a geomagnetic storm causes the auroral ovals north and south to expand and bring the aurora to lower latitudes the instantaneous distribution of Aurora's auroral oval is slightly different being centered about three to five degrees night word of the magnetic pole so that aurora larks reach furthest toward the equator when the magnetic pole in question is in between the observer and the Sun the aurora can be seen best at this time which is called magnetic midnight Aurora's seen within the auroral oval may be directly overhead but from farther away they illuminate the poleward horizon as a greenish glow or sometimes a faint red as if the Sun were rising from an unusual direction Aurora's also occur poleward of the auroral zone as either diffused patches or arcs which can be sub visual Aurora's are occasionally seen in latitudes below the auroral zone when a geomagnetic storm temporarily enlarges the auroral oval large geomagnetic storms are most common during peak of the 11-year sunspot cycle or during the three years after the peak an aurora may appear overhead as a corona of rays radiating from a distant and apparent central location which results from perspective an electron spirals gyrates about a field line at an angle that is determined by its velocity vectors parallel and perpendicular respectively to the local geomagnetic field vector B this angle is known as the pitch angle of the particle the distance or radius of the electron from the field line at any time is known as its larmor radius the pitch angle increases as the electron travels to a region of greater field strength nearer to the atmosphere thus it is possible for some particles to return or Mirror if the angle becomes 90 degrees before entering the atmosphere to collide with the denser molecules there other particles that do not mirror enter the atmosphere and contribute to the auroral display of ER a range of altitudes other types of Aurora's have been observed from space eg poleward arcs stretching sunward across the polar cap the related theta aurora and de side arcs near noon these are relatively infrequent and poorly understood other interesting effects occur such as flickering aurora black aurora and sub visual red arcs in addition to all these a week glow often deep red observed around the two polar cusps the field lines separating the ones that close through the Earth from those that are swept into the tail and close remotely topic images the altitudes where auroral emissions occur were revealed by Karl stormer and his colleagues who used cameras to triangulate more than 12,000 Aurora's they discovered that most of the light is produced between 90 and 150 kilometers above the ground while extending at times to more than 1,000 kilometers images of aurorus are significantly more common today than in the past due to the increase in the use of digital cameras that have high enough sensitivities film and digital exposure to auroral displays is fraught with difficulties due to the different color spectrum present and the temporal changes occurring during the exposure the results are somewhat unpredictable different layers of the film emulsion respond differently to lower light levels and choice of a film can be very important longer exposures superimpose rapidly changing features and often blanket the dynamic attribute of a display higher sensitivity creates issues with graininess David Mullin pioneered multiple exposure using multiple filters for astronomical photography recombining the images in the laboratory to recreate the visual display more accurately for scientific research proxies are often used such as ultraviolet and color correction to simulate the appearance to humans predictive techniques are also used to indicate the extent of the display a highly useful tool for Aurora hunters terrestrial features often find their way into Aurora images making them more accessible and more likely to be published by major websites excellent images are possible with standard film using ISO ratings between 100 and 400 and a single lens reflex camera with full aperture a fast lens F 1.4 50 millimeters for example and exposures between 10 and 30 seconds depending on the Aurora's brightness early work on the imaging of the aurorus was done in 1949 by the University of Saskatchewan using the minus 270 seychelles rupee's radar topic visual forms and colors Aurora's frequently appear either as a diffused glow or as curtains that extend approximately in the east-west direction at sometimes they form quiet arcs at others they evolve and change constantly these are called active Aurora the most distinctive and brightest are the curtain like aurora larks each curtain consists of many parallel rays each lined up with the local direction of the magnetic field consistent with Aurora's being shaped by Earth's magnetic field in situ particle measurements confirm that auroral electrons are guided by the geomagnetic field and spiral around them while moving toward Earth the similarity of an auroral displayed to curtains is often enhanced by folds within the arcs arcs can fragment or break up into separate at times rapidly changing often raid features that may fill the whole sky these are the discrete Aurora's which are at times bright enough to read a newspaper by at night and can display rapid sub-second variations in intensity the diffuser rora though is a relatively featureless glow sometimes close to the limit of visibility it can be distinguished from moonlit clouds because stars can be seen undiminished through the glow diffuse Aurora's are often composed of patches whose brightness exhibits regular or near regular pulsations the pulsation period can be typically many seconds so is not always obvious often they're black Aurora ie Mero regions in diffuse Aurora with reduced luminosity a typical auroral display consists of these forms appearing in the above order throughout the night red at the highest altitudes excited atomic oxygen emits at 630 mana metres red low concentration of atoms and lower sensitivity of eyes at this wavelength make this color visible only under more intense solar activity the low number of oxygen atoms and their gradually diminishing concentration is responsible for the faint appearance of the top parts of the curtains scarlet crimson and Carmen are the most often seen hues of red for the Aurora's green at lower altitudes the more frequent collisions suppress the 630 nm red mode rather the 557 point 7 nanometers emission green dominates fairly high concentration of atomic oxygen and higher I sensitivity in green make green aurorus the most common the excited molecular nitrogen atomic nitrogen being rare due to high stability of the n2 molecule plays a role here as it can transfer energy by collision to an oxygen atom which then radiates it away at the green wavelength red and green can also mix together to produce pink or yellow hues the rapid decrease of concentration of atomic oxygen below about 100 kilometers is responsible for the abrupt looking end of the lower edges of the curtains both the five hundred fifty-seven point seven and 630 point on nanometers wavelengths correspond to forbidden transitions of atomic oxygen slow mechanism that is responsible for the graduate a zero point seven s and 107 s respectively of flaring and fading blue at yet lower altitudes atomic oxygen is uncommon and molecular nitrogen and ionized molecular nitrogen take over in producing visible light emission radiating at a large number of wavelengths in both red and blue parts of the spectrum with 428 nanometers blue being dominant blue and purple emissions typically at the lower edges of the curtains show up at the highest levels of solar activity the molecular nitrogen transitions are much faster than the atomic oxygen ones ultraviolet ultraviolet radiation from aurorus within the optical window but not visible to virtually all humans has been observed with the requisite equipment ultraviolet Aurora's have also been seen on Mars Jupiter and Saturn infrared infrared radiation in wavelengths that are within the optical window is also part of many Aurora's yellow and pink are a mix of red and green or blue other shades of red as well as orange may be seen on rare occasions yellow-green is moderately common as red green and blue are the primary colors of additive synthesis of colors in theory practically any color might be possible but the ones mentioned in this article comprise a virtually exhaustive list topic other auroral radiation in addition the aurora and associated currents produce a strong radio emission around 150 kilohertz known as a rural kilometer equation akr discovered in 1972 ionospheric absorption makes akr only observable from space x-ray emissions originating from the particles associated with aurorus have also been detected topic Aurora noise Aurora noise similar to a hissing or crackling noise begins about 70 meters 230 feet above the Earth's surface and is caused by charged particles in an inversion layer of the atmosphere formed during a cold night the charged particles discharge when particles from the Sun hit the inversion layer creating the noise topic causes of aurorus a full understanding of the physical processes which lead to different types of Aurora's is still incomplete but the basic cause involves the interaction of the solar wind with the Earth's magnetosphere the varying intensity of the solar wind produces effects of different magnitudes but includes one or more of the following physical scenarios a quiescent solar wind flowing past the Earth's magnetosphere steadily interacts with it and can both inject solar wind particles directly unto the geomagnetic field lines that are open as opposed to being closed in the opposite hemisphere and provide diffusion through the bow shock it can also cause particles already trapped in the radiation belts to precipitate into the atmosphere once particles are lost to the atmosphere from the radiation belts under quiet conditions new ones replace them only slowly and the loss cone becomes depleted in the magnetic tail however particle trajectories seem constantly to reshuffle probably when the particles cross the very weak magnetic field near the equator as a result the flow of electrons in that region is nearly the same in all directions isotropic and assures a steady supply of leaking electrons the leakage of electrons does not leave the tail positively charged because each leaked electron lost to the atmosphere is replaced by a low-energy electron drawn upward from the ionosphere such replacement of hot electrons by cold ones is in complete accord with the second law of thermodynamics the complete process which also generates an electric ring current around the earth is uncertain geomagnetic disturbance from an enhanced solar wind causes distortions of the magnetic tail magnetic substorms these sub storms tend to occur after prolonged spells hours during which the interplanetary magnetic field has had an appreciable southward component this leads to a higher rate of interconnection between its field lines and those of earth as a result the solar wind moves magnetic flux tubes of magnetic field lines locked together with their resident plasma from the day side of earth to the magnetic tale widening the obstacle it presents to the solar wind flow and constricting the tail on the night side ultimately some tail plasma can separate magnetic reconnection some blobs plasmoid our squeeze downstream and are carried away with the solar wind others are squeezed toward earth where their motion feeds strong outbursts of aurorus mainly around midnight unloading process a geomagnetic storm resulting from greater interaction adds many more particles to the plasma trapped around earth also producing enhancement of that ring current occasionally the resulting modification of the Earth's magnetic field can be so strong that it produces Aurora's visible at middle latitudes on field lines much closer to the equator than those of the auroral zone acceleration of auroral charged particles invariably accompanies a magnetospheric disturbance that causes an aurora this mechanism which is believed to predominantly arise from strong electric fields along the magnetic field or wave particle interactions raises the velocity of a particle in the direction of the guiding magnetic field the pitch angle is thereby decreased and increases the chance of it being precipitated into the atmosphere both electromagnetic and electrostatic waves produced at the time of greater geomagnetic disturbances make a significant contribution to the energizing processes that sustain an Aurora particle acceleration provides a complex intermediate process for transferring energy from the solar wind indirectly into the atmosphere the details of these phenomena are not fully understood however it is clear that the prime source of auroral particles is the solar wind feeding the magnetosphere the reservoir containing the radiation zones and temporarily magnetically trapped particles confined by the geomagnetic field coupled with particle acceleration processes furthermore in 2016 more than 50 citizen science observations under the aegis of Aurora Soros observed a heretofore unknown type of Aurora which was dubbed Steve a reference to the animated film over the hedge in which one of the characters randomly names a previously unknown creature Steve subsequent reportage went viral and Steve remains under active scientific investigation topic auroral particles the immediate cause of the ionization and excitation of atmospheric constituents leading to auroral emissions was discovered in 1960 when a pioneering rocket flight from Fort Churchill in Canada revealed a flux of electrons entering the atmosphere from above since then an extensive collection of measurements has been acquired painstakingly and with steadily improving resolution since the 1960's by many research teams using rockets and satellites to traverse the auroral zone the main findings have been that aurora larks and other bright forms are due to electrons that have been accelerated during the final few 10,000 kilometers or so of their plunge into the atmosphere these electrons often but not always exhibit a peak in their energy distribution and are preferentially aligned along the local direction of the magnetic field electrons mainly responsible for diffuse and pulsating Aurora's have in contrast a smoothly falling energy distribution and an angular pitch angle distribution favoring directions perpendicular to the local magnetic field pulsations were discovered to originate at or close to the equatorial crossing point of auroral zone magnetic field lines protons are also associated with Aurora's both discrete and diffuse topic aurorus and the atmosphere aurorus result from emissions of photons in the Earth's upper atmosphere above 80 kilometers 50 miles from ionized nitrogen atoms regaining an electron and oxygen atoms and nitrogen based molecules returning from an excited state to ground state they are ionized or excited by the collision of particles precipitated into the atmosphere both incoming electrons and protons may be involved excitation energy is lost within the atmosphere by the emission of a photon or by collision with another atom or molecule oxygen emissions green or orange red depending on the amount of energy absorbed nitrogen emissions blue or red blue if the atom regains an electron after it has been ionized red if returning to ground state from an excited state oxygen is unusual in terms of its return to ground state it can take three-quarters of a second d'emic green light and up to two minutes to emit red collisions with other atoms or molecules absorb the excitation energy and prevent emission because the highest atmosphere has a higher percentage of oxygen and is sparsely distributed such collisions are rare enough to allow time for oxygen to emit red collisions become more frequent progressing down into the atmosphere so that red emissions do not have time to happen and eventually even green light emissions are prevented this is why there is a color differential with altitude at high altitudes oxygen red dominates then oxygen green and nitrogen blue red then finally nitrogen blue red when collisions prevent oxygen from emitting anything green is the most common color then comes pink a mixture of light green and red followed by pure red then yellow a mixture of red and green and finally pure blue topic aurorus and the ionosphere bright Aurora's are generally associated with berkland currents shield at all 1969 zmuda and Armstrong 1973 which flowed down into the ionosphere on one side of the pole and out on the other in between some of the current connects directly through the ionosphere a key layer 125 kilometers the rest region to detours leaving again through field lines closer to the equator and closing through the partial ring current carried by magnetically trapped plasma the ionosphere is an ohmic conductor so some consider that such currents require a driving voltage which and as yet unspecified dynamo mechanism can supply electric field probes in orbit above the polar cap suggest voltages of the order of forty thousand volts rising up to more than two hundred thousand volts during intense magnetic storms in another interpretation the currents are the direct result of electron acceleration into the atmosphere by wave particle interactions ionospheric resistance has a complex nature and leads to a secondary Hall current flow by a strange twist of physics the magnetic disturbance on the ground due to the main current almost cancels out so most of the observed effect of aurora says due to a secondary current the auroral electrojet an auroral electrojet index measured in nano Tesla is regularly derived from ground data and serves as a general measure of auroral activity Kristian Birkeland deduced that the currents flowed in the east-west directions along the auroral arc and such currents flowing from the dayside toward approximately midnight were later named auroral electrojet see also berkland currents topic interaction of the solar wind with earth the earth is constantly immersed in the solar wind a rarefied flow of hot plasma a gas of free electrons and positive ions emitted by the Sun in all directions a result of the two million degree temperature of the sun's outermost layer the corona the solar wind reaches earth with a velocity typically around 400 kilometers per second a density of around 5 ions per CC and a magnetic field intensity of around 2 to 5 NT for comparison Earth's surface field is typically 30,000 to 50,000 NT during magnetic storms in particular flows can be several times faster the interplanetary magnetic field IMF may also be much stronger Joan Feynman deduced in the 1970s that the long term averages of solar wind speed correlated with geomagnetic activity her work resulted from data collected by the Explorer 33 spacecraft the solar wind and magnetosphere consist of plasma ionized gas which conducts electricity it is well known since Michael Faraday's work around 1830 that when an electrical conductor is placed within a magnetic field while relative motion occurs in a direction that the conductor cuts across or is cut by rather than along the lines of the magnetic field an electric current is induced within the conductor the strength of the current depends on at the rate of relative motion B the strength of the magnetic field C the number of conductors gang together in D the distance between the conductor and the magnetic field while the direction of flow is dependent upon the direction of relative motion dynamos make use of this basic process the dynamo effect any and all conductors solid or otherwise are so affected including plasmas and other fluids the IMF originates on the Sun linked to the sunspots and its field lines lines of force are dragged out by the solar wind that alone would tend to line them up in the sun-earth direction but the rotation of the Sun angles them at earth by about 45 degrees forming a spiral in the ecliptic plane known as the Parker spiral the field lines passing earth are therefore usually linked to those near the western edge limb of the visible Sun at any time the solar wind and the magnetosphere being too electrically conducting fluids in relative motion should be able in principle to generate electric currents by dynamo action and impart energy from the flow of the solar wind however this process is hampered by the fact that plasmas conduct readily along magnetic field lines but less readily perpendicular to them energy is more effectively transferred by temporary magnetic connection between the field lines of the solar wind and those of the magnetosphere unsurprisingly this process is known as magnetic reconnection has already mentioned it happens most readily when the interplanetary field is directed southward in a similar direction to the geomagnetic field in the inner regions of both the North Magnetic Pole and South Magnetic Pole aurorus are more frequent and brighter during the intense phase of the solar cycle when coronal mass ejections increase the intensity of the solar wind topic magnetosphere Earth's magnetosphere is shaped by the impact of the solar wind on the Earth's magnetic field this forms an obstacle to the flow diverting it at an average distance of about 70,000 kilometers 11 Earth radii or re producing a bow shock 12,000 kilometers to 15,000 kilometers 1.9 to 2.4 re further upstream the width of the magnetosphere abreast of Earth is typically 190,000 kilometers 30 re and on the night side along magnetic tale of stretched field lines extends to great distances greater than 200 re the high latitude magnetosphere is filled with plasma as the solar wind passes the earth the flow of plasma into the magnetosphere increases with additional turbulence density and speed in the solar wind this flow is favored by a southward component of the IMF which can then directly connect to the high latitude geomagnetic field lines the flow pattern of magnetospheric plasma is mainly from the magnetic tail toward the earth around the earth and back into the solar wind through the magnetopause on the day side in addition to moving perpendicular to the Earth's magnetic field some magnetospheric plasma travels down along the Earth's magnetic field lines gains additional energy and losses it to the atmosphere in the auroral zones the cusps of the magnetosphere separating geomagnetic field lines that close through the earth from those that close remotely allow a small amount of solar wind to directly reach the top of the atmosphere producing an auroral glow on the 26th of February 2008 Themis probes were able to determine for the first time the triggering event for the onset of magnetospheric sub storms two of the five probes positioned approximately one-third the distance to the moon measured events suggesting a magnetic reconnection event 96 seconds prior to a rural intensification geomagnetic storms that ignite Aurora's may occur more often during the months around the equinoxes it is not well understood but geomagnetic storms may vary with Earth's seasons two factors to consider are the tilt of both the solar and Earth's access to the ecliptic plane as the Earth orbits throughout a year it experiences an interplanetary magnetic field IMF from different latitudes of the Sun which tilted at 8 degrees similarly the 23-degree tilt of the Earth's axis about which the geomagnetic pole rotates with a diurnal variation changes the daily average angle that the geomagnetic field presents to the incident IMF throughout a year these factors combined can lead to minor cyclicals in the detailed way that the IMF links to the magnetosphere in turn this affects the average probability of opening a door through which energy from the solar wind can reach the Earth's inner magnetosphere and thereby enhance Aurora's topic auroral particle acceleration the electrons responsible for the brightest forms of Aurora are well accounted for by their acceleration in the dynamic electric fields of plasma turbulence encountered during precipitation from the magnetosphere into the auroral atmosphere in contrast static electric fields are unable to transfer energy to the electrons due to their conservative nature the electrons and ions that cause the diffuser aura appear not to be accelerated during precipitation the increase in strength of magnetic field lines towards the earth creates a magnetic mirror that turns back many of the downward flowing electrons the bright forms of Aurora's are produced when downward acceleration not only increases the energy of precipitating electrons but also reduces their pitch angles angle between electron velocity and the local magnetic field vector this greatly increases the rate of deposition of energy into the atmosphere and thereby the rates of ionization excitation and consequent emission of aurora light acceleration also increases the electron current flowing between the atmosphere and magnetosphere one early theory proposed for the acceleration of auroral electrons is based on an assumed static or quasi static electric field creating a unidirectional potential drop no mention is provided of either the necessary space charge or equipotential distribution and these remain to be specified for the notion of acceleration by double layers to be credible fundamentally poissons equation indicates that there can be no configuration of charge resulting in a net potential drop inexplicably though some authors still invoke quasi static parallel electric fields as net accelerators of auroral electrons citing interpretations of transient observations of fields and particles as supporting this theory as firm fact in another example there is little justification given for saying fast observations demonstrate detailed quantitative agreement between the measured electric potentials and the ion beam energies leaving no doubt that parallel potential drops are a dominant source of auroral particle acceleration another theory is based on acceleration by landau resonance in the turbulent electric fields of the acceleration region this process is essentially the same as that employed in plasma fusion laboratories throughout the world and appears well able to account in principle for most if not all detailed properties of the electrons responsible for the brightest forms of Aurora's above below and within the acceleration region other mechanisms have also been proposed in particular Alvin waves wave modes involving the magnetic field first noted by Hannes Alvin 1942 which have been observed in the laboratory and in space the question is whether these waves might just be a different way of looking at the above process however because this approach does not point out a different energy source and many plasma bulk phenomena can also be described in terms of Alvin waves other processes are also involved in the aurora and much remains to be learned auroral electrons created by large geomagnetic storms often seem to have energies below 1 keV and are stopped higher up near 200 kilometres such low energies excite mainly the red line of oxygen so that often such Aurora's are red on the other hand positive ions also reach the ionosphere at such time with energies of 20 to 30 km they might be in overflow along magnetic field lines of the copious ring current ions accelerated at such times by processes different from the ones described above some Oh plus ions conics also seem accelerated in different ways by plasma processes associated with the Aurora these ions are accelerated by plasma waves in directions mainly perpendicular to the field lines they therefore start at their mirror points and can travel only upward as they do so the mirror effect transforms their directions of motion from perpendicular to the field line to a cone around it which gradually narrows down becoming increasingly parallel at large distances where the field is much weaker topic a rural event of historical significance the discovery of a 1770 Japanese diary in 2017 depicting Aurora's above the ancient Japanese capital of Kyoto suggested that the storm may have been 7 percent larger than the Carrington event which affected Telegraph networks the aurorus that resulted from the great geomagnetic storm on both the 28th of August and the 2nd of September 1859 however are thought to be the most spectacular in recent recorded history in a paper to the Royal Society on the 21st of November 1861 Balfour Stewart described both auroral events as documented by a self recording magnetograph at the Q Observatory and established the connection between the 2nd of September 1859 auroral storm and the Carrington Hodgson flare event when he observed that it is not impossible to suppose that in this case our luminary was taken in the act the 2nd auroral event which occurred on the 2nd of September 1859 as a result of the exceptionally intense Carrington Hodgson white light solar flare on the 1st of September 1859 produced Aurora's so widespread and extraordinarily bright that they were seen and reported in published scientific measurements ship logs and newspapers throughout the United States Europe Japan and Australia it was reported by the New York Times that in Boston on Friday the 2nd of September 1859 the aurora was so brilliant that at about 1 o'clock ordinary print could be read by the light one o'clock s time on Friday the 2nd of September would have been six o'clock Greenwich Mean Time and the self-recording magnetograph at the Q Observatory was recording the geomagnetic storm which was then one hour old at its full intensity between 1859 and 1862 Elias Loomis published a series of nine papers on the great auroral exhibition of 1859 in the American Journal of science where he collected worldwide reports of the auroral event that Aurora is thought to have been produced by one of the most intense coronal mass ejections in history it is also notable for the fact that it is the first time where the phenomena of auroral activity and electricity were unambiguously linked this insight was made possible not only due to scientific magnetometer measure of the era but also as a result of a significant portion of the 125,000 miles two hundred one thousand kilometers of telegraph lines then in service being significantly disrupted for many hours throughout the storm some telegraph lines however seem to have been of the appropriate length and orientation to produce a sufficient geomagnetic lee induced current from the electromagnetic field to allow for continued communication with the telegraph operator power supply switched off the following conversation occurred between two operators of the American Telegraph line between Boston and Portland Maine on the night of the 2nd of September 1859 and reported in the Boston traveler bust an operator to Portland operator please cut off your battery power source entirely for 15 minutes portland operator will do so it is now disconnected Boston mine is disconnected and we are working with the auroral current how do you receive my writing Portland better than with our batteries on current comes and goes gradually Boston my current is very strong at times and we can work better without the batteries as the Aurora seems to neutralize and augment our batteries alternately making current too strong at times for our relay magnets suppose we work without batteries while we are affected by this trouble Portland very well shall I go ahead with business Boston yes go ahead the conversation was carried on for around two hours using no battery power at all and working solely with the current induced by the Aurora and it was said that this was the first time on record that more than a word or two was transmitted in such manner such events led to the general conclusion that the effect of the aurorae on the electric telegraph is generally to increase her diminish the electric current generated in working the wires sometimes it entirely neutralizes them so that in effect no fluid is discoverable in them the aurora borealis seems to be composed of a massive electric matter resembling in every respect that generated by the electric galvanic battery the currents from it change coming on the wires and then disappeared the mass of the aurora rolls from the horizon to the zenith topic historical theories superstition and mythology an Aurora was described by the Greek explorer PI theose in the fourth century BC Seneca wrote about aurorus in the first book of his naturals cuestiones classifying them for instance as Peetha barrel-like Chashma doc Azzam Pagani a bearded Zipporah see like cypress trees and describing their manifold colors he wrote about whether they were above or below the clouds and recalled that under Tiberius and Aurora formed above the port city of Ostia that was so intense and red that a cohort of the army stationed nearby for fire duty galloped to the rescue it has been suggested that Pliny the Elder depicted the aurora borealis in his natural history when he refers to través Chashma falling red flames and daylight in the night in the traditions of aboriginal australians the aurora australis is commonly associated with fire for example the gun ditch mara people of western Victoria called Aurora's PIB UAE ashes while the gunite people of Eastern Victoria perceived Aurora's as bush fires in the spirit world the d-r-e people of South Australia say that an auroral display is kuchi an evil spirit creating a large fire similarly than the Gehringer ii people of South Australia referred to Aurora's seen over Kangaroo Island as the campfires of spirits in the land of the dead Aboriginal people in southwest queensland believe the Aurora's to be the fires of the Ola pika ghostly spirits who spoke to the people through aurorus sacred law forbade anyone except male elders from watching or interpreting the messages of ancestors they believed were transmitted through an Aurora bullfinches mythology relates that in Norse mythology the armor of the Valkyrie or sheds a strange flickering light which flashes up over the northern skies making what men call the aurora borealis or Northern Lights there appears to be no evidence in Old Norse literature to substantiate this assertion the first Old Norse account of nor Leo's is found in the norwegian chronicle conning skug Ziya from ad 1230 the chronicler has heard about this phenomenon from compatriots returning from Greenland and he gives three possible explanations that the ocean was surrounded by vast fires that the Sun flares could reach around the world to its night side or that glaciers could store energy so that they eventually became fluorescent Walter William Bryant wrote in his book Kepler 19 20 30 car ah seems to have been something of a homeopathy for he recommends sulfur to cure infectious diseases brought on by the sulfurous vapors of the aurora borealis in the 1740s Benjamin Franklin theorized in his paper Aurora Borealis suppositions and conjectures towards forming and hypothesis for its explanation that in Aurora was caused by a concentration of electrical charge in the polar regions intensified by the snow and moisture in the air may not then the great quantity of electricity brought into the polar regions by the clouds which are condensed there and fallen snow which electricity would enter the earth but cannot penetrate the ice may it not I say as a bottle overcharged break throw that low atmosphere and run along in the vacuum over the air towards the equator diverging as the degrees of longitude enlarge strongly visible where densest and becoming less visible as it more diverges till it finds a passage to the earth in more temperate climates or is mingled with the upper air observations of the rhythmic movement of compass needles due to the influence of an Aurora were confirmed in the Swedish city of Uppsala by Anders Celsius and Olaf II order in 1741 he order was able to link large magnetic fluctuations with an Aurora being observed overhead this evidence helped to support their theory that magnetic storms are responsible for such compass fluctuations a variety of Native American myths surround the spectacle the European explorer Samuel Hearne traveled with Chipewyan Dean in 1771 and recorded their views on the Edvin caribou according to Hearn the Dene people saw the resemblance between an Aurora and the sparks produced when caribou first stroked they believed that the lights were the spirits of their departed friends dancing in the sky and when they shone brightly it meant that their deceased friends were very happy during the night after the Battle of Fredericksburg an Aurora was seen from the battlefield the Confederate Army took this as a sign that God was on their side as the lights were rarely seen so far south the painting aurora borealis by Frederic Edwin church is widely interpreted to represent the conflict of the American Civil War a mid 19th century Britain source says aurorus were a rare occurrence before the 18th century it quotes Haley as saying that before the Aurora of 1716 no such phenomenon had been recorded for more than 80 years and none of any consequence since 1570 for it says no appearance is recorded in the transactions of the French Academy of Sciences between 1666 and 1716 and that one Aurora recorded in Berlin miscellany for 1797 was called a very rare event one observed in 1723 at bologna was stated to be the first ever seen there Celsius 17:33 states the oldest residence of Uppsala thought the phenomenon a great rarity before 1716 the period between approximately 1645 to 1715 corresponds to the maunder minimum in sunspot activity it was the Norwegian scientist Kristian Birkeland who in the early 1900's laid the foundation for our current understanding of geomagnetism and polar Aurora's topic non-terrestrial aurorus both Jupiter and Saturn have magnetic fields that are stronger than Earth's Jupiter's equatorial field strength is 4.3 Gauss compared to 0.3 gals for Earth and both have extensive radiation belts Aurora's have been observed on both gas planets most clearly using the Hubble Space Telescope as well as on Uranus and Neptune the Aurora's on the gas giants seem like Earth's to be powered by the solar wind in addition however Jupiter's moons especially io are powerful sources of Aurora's on Jupiter these arise from electric currents along field lines field aligned currents generated by a dynamo mechanism due to the relative motion between the rotating planet in the moving moon Io which has active volcanism and an ionosphere is a particularly strong source and it's currents also generate radio emissions which have been studied since 1955 using the Hubble Space Telescope Aurora's / Io Europa and Ganymede have all been observed Aurora's have also been observed on Venus and Mars Venus has no magnetic field and so Venusian Aurora's appear as bright and diffuse patches of varying shape and intensity sometimes distributed over the full disk of the planet a Venusian Aurora originates when electrons from the solar wind collide with the Nightside atmosphere an Aurora was detected on Mars on the 14th of August 2004 by the SP IC a.m. instrument aboard Mars express the aurora was located at Terra Sumeria in the region of 177 degrees east 52 degrees south the total size of the emission region was about 30 kilometres across and possibly about 8 kilometres high by analyzing a map of crustal magnetic anomalies compiled with data from Mars Global Surveyor scientists observed that the region of the emissions corresponding to an area where the strongest magnetic field is localized this correlation indicated that the origin of the light emission was a flux of electrons moving along the crust magnetic lines and exciting the upper atmosphere of Mars the first ever extrasolar aurorus were discovered in July 2015 over the brown dwarf star LS rj1 835 +3000 259 the mainly red or was found to be a million times brighter than the Northern Lights a result of the charged particles interacting with hydrogen in the atmosphere it has been speculated that stellar winds may be stripping off material from the surface of the brown dwarf to produce its own electrons another possible explanation for the aurorus is that in as yet undetected body around the dwarf stars throwing off material as is the case with Jupiter in its moon Io topic

INSTANTLY become better with these PRO TIPS
[Music] yo what is going on guys bobby here and today we are back with another video now before we get into it three things really quickly one daily videos we've given up on it's it's my fault guys it's just it's not realistic for a pro player who does you know streaming and pro and scrims and all that stuff to make a video every single day so the new goal is a video once every two days sometimes if i have like a major competition we'll make it once every three days but we're gonna try and do once every two days you guys hold me accountable for that second is you guys ask me all the time about new discord servers stuff like that we have made a new discord server that is awesome it has a bunch of cool stuff in there there are limited time rolls the first time it is ever going to be released is during the drop of this video so you guys are going to be first make sure you guys are in there and are active at the start link is going to be in the description make sure you guys click it and join now because forever and ever and ever there are going to be roles in there that only the first few people who are in that server and active can get and you guys want to be those people because you're just going to look cooler than everyone else and then third off is we have an awesome video coming in two days i've never done anything like it it's gonna be really fun i have like seven impossible challenges that i don't think i'll be able to do but hopefully i can do one and it's gonna be really funny so make sure you guys check that out in two days but with that being said let's hop into the video let's get you guys better at brawl stars okay so coming up first is how to juke spike curves so i mean this one is pretty difficult at first because curveball is really annoying but it's kind of the same as juking a regular spike shot there's a certain distance that you have to be away in a certain position they have to be away from the original shot before it explodes and as you guys can see on the screen right now it's really predictable does the same thing every single time it curves the same way every single time it explodes the same way every single time so once you guys get this down and once you guys figure out how to juke it and where you have to stand it becomes really really really easy it takes like three minutes of time if you have someone to practice with if you don't have someone to practice with when you face spikes you can just try and apply what you're seeing right now so if you want to stand directly under the spike shot you can do that you stand about a tile away a tile and a half maybe two tiles i don't know exactly i'm more of a visual type of person so you guys can see it on your screen but it's the same thing you just walk to the left with the spike shot you go right under it you don't even have to walk to the left if you know the proper distance and are good at it and then there are other ones as well so if you're a little bit right of the shot you just move up a little bit and then you walk left with it again again every single spot for a spike shot has a perfect juking pattern you can juke it literally perfectly if you wanted to i don't know how many i juked in a row here but we played i think two minutes of him just shooting at me with spike shots and i think he only got one super throughout the entirety of the game and half of it i was just spinning for um so once you practice it you can get really really good at it but this is how to juke spike curves so with our second tip we're gonna have do your homework now this is very important this is more on the iq side of brawl stars as you guys can see right here i'm playing shelley we're facing a tara a crow and a bb and i won lane so fast and why did i win lane well because i'm a shelly facing a bb now you guys can see they're gonna switch sides and this is part of doing your homework you have to know your counters there's a bunch of things that are inside of this point one of them obviously is knowing your counters you should know every single brawler's counters and what counters it it is not that hard it's pretty simple if you're a shelly you want to face tanks and you're going to put yourself on tanks you don't want to play a game and say okay i'm facing tanks and then go lane the crow because as you guys can see in this game right here they're trying to put the crow on me and it's very very difficult to beat a crow as a shelley when i can just face a bb and walk up in auto aim it is super easy to do that so i would highly recommend learning your counters learning everything and then on top of that you also want to understand how to use your utility so as you guys saw on your screen right there the tara just used her puppets into a buzz what did that do clearly as you guys could see the tar is dead it did absolutely nothing buzz can just shoot right through it you want to be able to utilize your utility to the absolute best way possible so put those tar pets onto the shelley put the tara onto the shelley because it's a much better matchup knowing how to use your utility is really important and then another one with doing your homework is just watch professional gameplay just watch how pros play watch some things you're always going to pick up some new things by watching pro so definitely go ahead and do that i would highly recommend it is a very very easy way to get better really fast our next tip is going to be how to 6k a safe with daryl now this one is pretty difficult but it's actually quite easy to learn i've never 6k a safe in my life and then someone showed me how to do it and it took me 10 minutes to hit about 50 percent of 6k now that was about two weeks ago i haven't tried it in a very long time so i get 6k about 25 of the time 30 of the time but i get really high damage basically every single time and this is what you have to do you got to go to the very top left of the safe and you just have to make a backwards c so you start in the safe you go to the right you go down and then to the left backwards c and you're gonna do a lot of damage every single time now again practices just just go into a friendly room turn on bots click hot potato walk in a straight line do three gadgets click exit do it again three gadgets exit do this for 10 minutes and you guys are going to be able to 6k so many times and this is a very big deal it does like 10 to the safe compared to like zero or the one percent or the two percent that you guys are doing and doing that three times can make a very big difference over the course of the game so definitely try this out and definitely get good at this especially since daryl is meta right now so our next tip is going to be pinch so pinching is one of the most important things that nobody and i literally mean nobody in brawlstars does only the pros do this for whatever strange reason but pinching is so important you guys can see my lane i am a shelly laning cursed a fellow pro player on grom i am not going to win that if i tried 100 times but i can win that with a pinch there are three lanes you have the left lane a mid lane and a right lane you don't have to only face your lane you can shoot at other lanes you can shoot at the mid you can shoot at the right side you can shoot at your left you can 2v1 you can both shoot at one target you don't always just have to focus one person and something that you guys have to be more aware of is pinches because they are going to help you so so so much especially if you're doing it on ladder it's just gonna be free trophies if you apply just three of the things three of the 10 or 11 or 12 tips that i'm giving you guys you guys are going to become instantly way better you guys are gonna notice so many more wins on ladder definitely try and apply these tips let's move on to the next one okay so we're gonna give you guys three tips right here there's not really gonna be much gameplay for it um but it's this is just a really simple tip so three different play styles in this game if you are a tank you go in and you go in again and you go in again and again and again i do not ever want to see any one of my subscribers playing a passive tank because there is nothing worse in the game than a passive tank if you are dying you're still gaining your super if you go in and take damage or if you're a buzz and you don't gain super at least you're charging your super being close to people do not play a passive tank do not sit there and hold control with tanks just go in over and over and over and eventually you're going to overwhelm the other team they're going to run out of gadgets something is going to happen and you are going to win the game now if you're playing control brawlers it is the exact opposite do not go in do not forfeit your position if you're close to getting a goal don't just go in for no reason and try and score take your time team wipe hold control be sure you're gonna score when you try and do so because control brawlers again in the name you have to hold control with and then there's just the healers with healers you just want to get as much value as possible don't die don't be the first one going in as a healer as a poke or a byron because that is not your job you get far more value and far more kills just going in behind your teammates that your tanks go in first let your dps go in first while you just heal them poke from the back that is definitely want you what you want to do as healers those are the three play styles play within those three play styles do not play outside of them that's a very big important tip that you guys have to follow so the next tip that we have for you guys is to use code bobby in your shop it is a hundred percent going to make you significantly better at the game it's gonna give you instant masters instant 50k trophies instant pro player status so i would definitely recommend doing that but on a real note i would also recommend using a stutter walk slash juke pattern now i understand not everyone has an ipad pro i understand not everyone is a pro player that doesn't mean you need to walk in a straight line or move like an absolute bot and yes i'm talking to you viewer who moves like an absolute bot you everyone walks in a straight line and then when they get hit they walk the other way every single person does it i can pick a random person in the brawlstars reddit server in my server in any server in on discord on twitter anything and once they get hit by a shot the first reaction is going to be to move the other way just have some type of different pattern just do some stutters don't always go the same way go back and forth go front and back there's always different things you can do just don't walk in a straight line because that is the worst thing you can do and when you get hit by a shot don't just immediately turn back because that's what every single person does and every single good player if they hit you when they're aiming right they expect you to go the other way and they're going to aim left and they're going to two tap you or vice versa so just look at the screen you guys can see i have different patterns i'm not joking because i'm good and i'm reacting i'm joking just because i have different patterns and he's missing me you can't juke a piper he just can't hit me you guys want to juke like this or something like this get to practicing because this is very very useful okay so we have two more tips for you guys this one is going to be draft related so what you want to do when drafting because now that draft is in the game it's in power league it's in a lot of different things in club league as well you want to be good at it there are brawlers that are good into everything and i mean absolutely everything so let's take some brawlers for example we're going to take spike spike gets countered by throwers outside of throwers it is good into everything i would highly recommend taking spike first on a lot of different maps especially if there are no throwers when brock is meta i would also highly recommend taking brock although brock isn't really meta right now so it's something you want to stay away from um there are a lot of other brawlers for example stu that's a really good pick although stu does have a lot of counters they would have to fully counter your stew for it to be you know really effective so i would definitely consider taking stu first then there are other brawlers sandy's a really good one byron's a really good one tara is a really good one max can be a good one bell one meta is a really good one you guys want to stay away from throwers and tanks that is not something you guys want to draft first or even in the middle it's something you want to draft with your very last pick because if you can t if you could take primo with your pick and i'm on the other team i'm taking shelley and you're losing lane 100 out of 100 times you don't want to take a tank you don't want to take a throw or something that can get countered by a mortise or something just take something that is good into everything a good example again is amber a good example a great example is crow leon gene again just brawlers that are good into basically everything is what you want to take with your first pick it doesn't really matter on the map because there are some maps where you know some brawlers are obviously really good but if you're taking brawlers that don't have hard counters that is your best chance to win a game if you're going with that first pick and then our very last tip and i didn't really want to include this in the video too much or put this in the start because you know it costs money and it's not something that basically 90 of you guys can do but upgrading to an ipad or a 120 hertz device is it is a jump i'm not to say it's not going to make you a pro player because people ask me all the time you know should i buy an ipad and my response to it every time is it's not going to make you a pro player it's not going to make you the best player in the world and it's not going to make you significantly better but it is going to be way easier to play on if you take the time and you want to be better at the game ipad has a way higher ceiling than a 60 hertz phone does or not ipad i should say in 120 hertz phone or an ipad has a way higher ceiling than a 60hz device does then also if you really want to get sweaty all the pros have an ethernet cable um that's also something that you can just hook up to your router or hook up to something that can decrease your ping and just make you shoot faster make you be able you know easier to juke just all that type of stuff now this is excess stuff um that you know again i didn't really want to put in the start of the video but it if you have the money and it's something that you are interested in doing this is definitely a tip that can help you out a lot but again don't buy an ipad don't spend 1 000 and say bobby i'm not a pro player give me my money because it's not going to make you a pro player but anyways these are the 10 tips that i have for you guys i think they're really good tips um i think it's going to be really helpful you don't have to apply all 10 but if you can do three or four or five of these you guys are gonna notice a very significant increase in your skill so that's gonna be it for me today i hope you guys enjoyed and i hope you guys are ready for the absolute banger of a video we have in two days that's gonna be it for me today i will catch you guys soon peace hey you yes you there watching this on your phone have you ever wanted to be the best the most handsome the most loved player on your team and support your favorite creator at the same time well i have good news you can be all of that and more by using code bobby but you have to do it now because this is a limited time offer use code bobby at any supercell game store

triple threat gets us Glenn rice you can get him out of clutch Time online you can get him out of Triple Threat online too but I I mean 2K you making it hard for me to do my job bro I mean I I just I need help right now I mean we still got season five Super packs sitting up here but if we go into the pack Market we know the eclipses are there I don't know what y'all what do you guys think this is 2K I mean and just for good measure we're going to open us a pack anyway but who knows if the cards are even in the pack like we don't even know if the cards are even in the pack you didn't update the I mean come on man how you gonna do me like this so how am I supposed to be confident that these cards are in these packs if you didn't even update all like come on what are we doing I don't know who dropped the ball but somebody needs to be G checked y'all got to G check somebody I mean the only thing I'm seeing is Terry Dinger out here we still got Christen lner here we still got Kevin Love here these are season five I see buddy Hill for salary cap but don't nobody want buddy Hill and then I come over here to the buy VC joint there are no prices for anything except for 5K what are y'all doing over there like is somebody do y'all have a cat y'all have a cat that's land on the keyboard you you must have a cat your cat must be walking across the keyboard licking switches and that's just that's probably just what's happening that's probably just what's going on over there I mean we don't have any prices for this stuff and then I noticed one thing it's not worth it to even buy Mt because you get more bang for your buck in this player Market Market I mean for 400k you can get a 20 pack right but for 200k M VC see that 400k Mt and 200k VC right to get a 20 box okay and if you see the one that's marked in the red outline 280 Mt pack that cost 50 bucks you can get 280 Mt for 50 bucks right and that only gets you that doesn't even get you a 20 buck with mt but if you come over here to the VC side and you you get the 50 worth of VC you get 200k VC for 50 bucks and it's less than 50 bucks because it's discounted at $44.99 and that'll get you a 20 buck so if I bought 50 worth of Mt I would have to buy more Mt than $50 in order to get a 20 box but I would have to buy just one pack of VC for 50 bucks to get a 20 box the same 20 box cost less in Mt than it cost in VC no I said that backwards the 20 box cost less in VC than it does in Mt and I don't understand why y'all did it that way 2K did you did somebody botch that do y'all know about this and because I can bring

Curling my Hair for the First Time! || Testing Kim Kimble's Curling Wand
[Applause] [Music] hey beauties welcome and welcome back it's your girl midnight moon and today we're doing a curly hair tutorial if you guys missed it last week's video we reviewed some kim kimball products we also did a little demo and showed you how i use them and this week we're coming back with another kim kimble round this is my first time curling my own hair so i am super excited to show you guys the results and show how my experience went for products we're using the kim kimball one inch digital curling wand as well as the kim kimbo heat protectant and just to show you a little close-up of the curling wand i love it because it has so many cool features it has the stand to hold it up when you place it down on your table you have the 360 degree swivel cord and the clamp of course on the actual wand of course we also have our digital display to tell us our temperatures and our adjustment buttons to raise or lower the temperature as well as the power button for the power button you do have to hold it down for a second for it to turn on this wand also does come with a heat glove and one thing i notice is whenever i get a heat glove and a hot tool packaging it's really never that thick but this one i really like it's just a bit short on my hands we also are using the karakol tangle buster detangler brush to detangle and just brush our hair before we curl it y'all know i'm obsessed with this brush i use it in every video so of course first you want to section out your hair and as you're heat protecting in i like to brush it out to disperse the product then you want to part it and just go ahead and start curling this was actually very easy to do for my first time this curling wand actually made it very easy to do and all you have to do is put that piece of hair in between the clamp of the wand and start twisting the hair all around the curling wand you can actually give your hair a twist and it'll give it a nicer effect as you're putting it on the wand i did speed this up so the video wouldn't be too long but you do want to keep this in your hair for about 30 to 40 seconds and oh my gosh guys do you see that i was literally so surprised after that you just want to set it with whatever styling spray you want to use as said i'm using the leaf legacy one and i don't want a heavy curl so i'm gonna be actually sectioning the curls out after i'm done with them also i did mess up on this piece so i just redid it again like i said it is my first time but i got the hang of it pretty quick from there you're pretty much just doing the same thing over and over and over again until you're done with the sections in your hair i do want to do this again in smaller sections because it's actually the reason i didn't do an intro on an outro for this video because it would have been too long we actually had to turn on my ring light and i didn't have enough light so i just didn't bother to do an intro on outro i said i'll do it with the voice over it so here we are and now i'm pretty much just gonna get more into product specs and details and all that good stuff now this is how it's coming out i'm gonna just keep doing the rest of my hair until it's all finished you guys can keep watching so we're going to start with the heat protectant spray it is meant to help repair prevent and protect so it does help repair that damage done by heat this is also 11 at walmart which makes it really affordable and it's also made with clean natural ingredients we have sweet almond oil and coconut oil aloe vera and botanical extracts as well as avocado oil it protects up to 450 degrees of heat it also hydrates and nourishes with all those good ingredients it strengthens while protecting your hair it also prevents split ends and allows less breakage if you guys don't know already what a heat protectant does it is meant to reduce damage caused by heat styling tools up to that recommended temperature which was 450 you also get smooth frizz free results it's safe for everyday use and one thing i did forget it contains castor oil which is really beneficial for everything i use castor oil for my nails my eyebrows you can pretty much use castor oil for everything in beauty the whole kim kimball malign is more specifically designed for wavy curly kinky hair and i believe all of the products are color safe this product is formulated for natural hair but she does also focus on protective styles as well as extensions there's also hydrolyzed wheat protein hydrolyzed collagen and panthenol as well as fragrance the fragrance is very light in here you barely smell it so and now let's get on to the curling wand so i so i told you some of the features earlier but we're going to get more into it this curling wand is only 30 it's actually 26.97 at walmart amazing for that price i just have to say that because i really enjoyed using this i will continue to use this i have a few waving tools of course i have two-in-one products but they really don't do its job like a curling wand claims on this baby is to give salon worthy curls and waves it's supposed to defy frizz and fly aways with tourmaline and ceramic coating because of the design it's supposed to give a consistent heat across the entire length of the barrel for that smooth healthy longer lasting curls within seconds this also features a non-stick barrel meaning you can use whatever products you want and it won't stick onto it it also claims to have a ultra fast heat up and recovery time which i can say it does i've tried a few tourmaline products that took forever to heat up and i've tried some good ones this is one of the best ones i'd have to say for fast heat up time also another thing i love about this is it has a auto shutoff time of 60 minutes which means after 60 minutes it will turn off if you're not using it which i have been absolutely obsessed with and one reason why i've been loving this is because a lot of my other products that have a shut off time have a very quick shut off time it'll be like half an hour or 40 minutes and my long hair does not get done within that time i can't do it it just does not work so she also came with the 60 minute time which i've been loving along with that fast heat up time so i completely forgot our disclaimers so we're just gonna go ahead and let you guys know real quick this video is sponsored by beauty tap and kim kimball in exchange for 100 honest reviews brands never influenced my reviews i never feel obligated to write a five star review anyway we don't do that here so yes all honest you guys can check out my verified beauty expert review over at beautytap.com the links will be all mentioned down in the description box below including any products mentioned in this video beauty tap is always giving us the chance to try new beauty products and brands and i'm just so thankful for them because they also help me to create more content for you guys weekly i did also just want to mention a couple products i used to prep my hair we wash our hair about once a week because i don't like to take out all the necessary oils but when we do wash it i do like to use the leaf legacy hemp and avocado shampoo we usually use the conditioner as well but we've been using the k-18 molecular hair repair mask to just repair some damage so we used that as well as the kim kimbo curly buttercream after our hair was wet and saturated so we also have some of that in there you guys know i had to watch some tutorials to make sure i was doing this right so as you can see here i actually didn't on one side so what i found was really helpful and what i've seen other people do is you can take the barrel of the curling wand and actually tame down whatever part you messed up on or whatever might be frizzy at the top just by rolling the barrel down softly on it so as you guys see here it is starting to get dark i had to turn on my ring light so excuse the lighting but this is how the hair is coming out it's looking gorgeous i'm absolutely obsessed guys like this is my only curling tool i'm probably going to be using i have a beach waiver which i'll probably use here and there but if i want some real curls i'm definitely going to do this my husband loves when i curl my hair and i guess a lot of you guys do too because i've done it before and y'all thought it came out amazing so i think i'm going to be doing it some more my only problem is i can't stand the amount of time it takes so as you guys saw this did take a little bit i think i was sitting here filming for maybe three or four hours i think we started around two and we finished around five or six but i am filming so so it would have took me a faster amount of time if i wasn't so just know that it probably would have only took me like an hour so don't come at me i didn't have enough hair clips guys i mean a girl got to do what they gotta do i do definitely need to get some more clips though because i have too much hair for this it's so crazy and i feel all over the place so see here we're taking the front part of my hair which i usually tend to have the most frizz and just doing that top lay down with the barrel after this we're pretty much finished that's the last piece and as for reviews both these products get a fantastic five stars y'all know i love a good product and i mean just look at this curl it's so bouncy it's so juicy it just looks gorgeous absolutely obsessed and now i'm just going to brush them out and you guys are going to see the final look as i'm brushing it out just to disperse it because as said this probably would have looked better if i did it in smaller sections as curls i wanted to do more of a wavy effect so we did and it came out amazing please if you haven't done so yet don't forget to subscribe hit the notification bell so you don't miss out on new videos and more tutorials like this become a part of the beauty family we love beauty here on youtube and i know you do

have a good time today so let's start casting see if we can get some fish on the bank i know the fishing recently has been a little tough um the weather's been very interesting it's actually hot today it's been very cold this week so hopefully these fish are gonna bite and they're not gonna be in a weird funk but let's see what happens you might need to come over here and work that thing i got one oh no that felt like a good little fish right there he had it as uh it was just falling oh nice she came back and ate it there we go guys first fish of the day is a little bass it's nothing big but he's fighting really good this water's so clear too nice little fish got to start somewhere today and uh get us a little bass let's start off on the micro swim bait there we go that's our first species today oh largemouth bass it's a good little star he put up a little fight too i had one bite me on the fall i don't know if it was him or a different fish but he came back and ate it so last time we came out here guys this corner right here was like a great high percentage area to get bites in and we caught some big bluegill some decent bass some micro bass ended up not catching any crappie which i know they're in here but i got another one oh my gosh yeah they're they're loaded so you can catch right there katie right where i was although we got katie out with us today we're just playing around she's never fished with like micro lures like this so we're kind of having fun with it i've i've really enjoyed the micro videos this last month you feel like a little rooster too yeah no this is like oddly really fun like once you start catching them you're gonna be like bang look see that look did you see him just eat me right there yeah i don't think that's a bass oh yeah it is the best yeah it's not a bad one i think it's bigger than my last one these these fish just tank this little swim bait man not a big one not really what we're looking for they're not no we're fishing for whatever today guys we're just having fun i don't care if he's 10 pounds or or two pounds either way i'm gonna have a good time this is something that you know if the fishing's really tough for y'all you can go out and try and throw micro baits and still catch them but it's a little bess second fish today that was a little fatter oh i just had one did you get bit you got him nice there's a little bass micro vest there you go you got your first one yes nice look at that oh did he swallow it no i don't know all right good i got one too we got double up he's the best too the bass are eating today we're fishing for whatever bites but these bats are going crazy look at how strong they are too for how small i think i got you beat just a little bit but a lot but a lot a little a lot a little bit you got to give me a fish bump nice before best so far i'm ready to see your crappie so i want y'all's feedback in the comment section down below you know we've started doing these like little micro videos only our third one and i'm not like big into this like i've never really done this before i just come out here and have fun with it but that cast i just called that fish on i actually threw my bait out and i was like paying attention to katie's fish i wasn't even moving it around and he happened to eat it yeah yeah it was just sitting you got another one get him yeah wait that might be a better one ain't it oh okay they're they're biting really good now it was in the middle that's when you're letting that thing sit on the bottom right yeah i was listening to you talk about it see that's what i'm saying that's what i was getting to like i just had this thing sitting on the bottom and i had that last one eat it how do you guys work your baits like are you guys there's a little swim bait oh i got one gosh yeah i know it's working out whatever i'm doing oh i knew i was gonna lose that one i was playing with him too much but do you guys like reel it in do you guys pop it do you guys like let it sit on the bottom and hop it like a jig i mean what do you all think the best way to catch them is or is it kind of like bass like it just depends on the day and how they want to eat it which i mean we are catching bass but true i don't know i really don't know what i'm asking y'all but just leave your feedback down below on uh some micro tips if you guys have them because your boy is a little new to this and i'm just playing around you get bit nice bass yeah that's not a bad one either yeah that's pretty good bass nice that's not a bad one it's a nice little bass i'll take it not big but they're still fun to catch what you get for during small things i mean you'll catch some big ones though you just you got to get in front of the right fish you know well i've been getting a lot of dms recently and just messages and comments as a whole and you know people have been struggling with the fishing recently fishing hasn't been the best this year like that the whole like summer to fall transition the fall to winter has been very weird this year it hasn't been consistent you know the weather's just been a little weird i don't that's the best way to describe it and you know this is a great way of just getting outside you know not killing yourself for one bite you know you can get out with a little micro bait and end up catching a ton of fish so that's that's kind of why i'm wanting to start doing this too is to show you guys you know you don't have to go throw all these big bass lures and spend eight hours for one bite like you can get out here with a little micro lure too and have a lot of fun pair it up pair it up on your kicking their bass combo and and go catch a lot of fish so that's the biggest thing i mean you don't have to go out there and bass fish every single time with crazy lures like that that's always what i do and now that i've kind of opened myself up to this i've been having a lot of fun i mean catching a lot of fish getting a lot of bites even on tough days and overall it's just it's really a blast oh yeah he hammered that thing that might be a crappy i think that's a crappy [Music] is it oh no it's a decent bass that's the best one yet yeah that's the best one yet okay i saw like his white side but you know the bass change colors this time of year yeah he slammed that sucker and just started running with it look at that thing in the back of his throat yeah that's not a bad one you know for what we've been catching i still would like to see a good big bass like i think it's possible we just got to keep on fishing but that's a nice little bass on that swimbait thank you buddy so the last micro video that we filmed i like bought some new braid and i ended up not putting it on but it was like really slick and i was talking about it about putting like nice braid on the spinning combos well i want you guys to see something so this is a 1 16 ounce jig head very light like so light that you really shouldn't be able to cast it on this now i'm gonna watch this you know we got a good distance across the pond look at that i can almost cast all the way across the pond with a 1 16 ounce bait which is just crazy especially on a seven foot rod with a micro lure like it's pretty impressive and i i have to give props to the braid too because the braids very slick and i think that matters like don't that's the thing when you're putting braid on these things don't go with the cheap braid if you want a smooth clean cast on spinning combo you need to go with something a little more slick it's going to come off the reel a little bit better and i mean you guys see it there this thing's beaming i barely have to put any weight to it just kind of flip it out there you know just saying he's on me right here but i bet you there's more down there there's more down there another bass come on bass we're fishing for whatever bites today and i can't hide from the best can't ever hide from the best and there's a big population of bluegill and crappie in here that are very good size like they'll make these bass look small so that's what i'm really trying to target we've caught plenty of bass today i don't mind catching any more bass if we do i'm still gonna have fun with it but where are the crappy and is there a specific way to work this to maybe get a crappie to bite but i think they're just in a certain area on the pond and we just haven't found it yet oh you got one is that a bass a micro bag yeah that's a micro vest okay katie got her a micro that's our first micro today we caught some small bass but that's i mean it's a five inch micro bass [Music] oh yeah he's running that's a that's probably the best fish today oh yeah oh yeah that's a good is it crappie it is a crappie no it's a big fast no i thought it was a huge crappie i mean not a big bastard you know what i mean that's the best one today look at that one yeah that's a nice fish i really thought that was a crappy i like for some reason my mind told me that was a crappie yeah you have the smallest i got the biggest that's not a bad bass all right yeah that's amazing i mean he fought pretty good i'm about to say i mean that has to be the biggest fish today he's not quite two pounds but he's up there in that high one one range for some reason while i looked at him he looks exactly like a crab maybe it's just because it's on my mind i don't know i looked at him and he literally looked identical to a crappy like in my head it was a crap oh oh oh that's the biggest fish of the day yeah i swear yeah this is a good one oh he's gonna be close he looks identical he was in the middle he's where he should be right now this time of year oh yeah all right guys we moved spots and i think it was a good call because we're upgrading to some better sized fish yeah look at that one it's a good one it's not a bad one right pretty good one that was a good little fish he fought hard when he ate it i just couldn't even move him yeah i threw like right out here katie like right in the middle that was my first cast out there and he slammed it i'm sure there's some more down there yeah look oh yeah that's another good one look at that yeah that's where the good ones are katie you need to get in there yeah yeah it makes sense because they're like right in the little ditch of this creek oh yeah they're good ones this might be a two pounder i don't know these fish are like high one pounders yeah that's so that's a pound and a half but he's just fat oh he's got some sharp teeth he's been eating that thing just fell right out look at these bass though guys that's like three casts or not three casts but two casts in a row the last like three or four casts i've caught three good bass that's a good sign all right so this is what i'm doing y'all beaming that sucker out there that was a horrible cast milan around my rod i'm throwing it out there i'm letting it hit the bottom i wait till it hits the bottom and then i kind of hop it and that fish had it right away like they're just stacked down there see yep look at that right there oh he came off came on well yeah i was about to let katie use my bait and then she ended up hooking this nice one they're down there guys like stacks we found the spot for sure i think it was a good decision moving look at that one that's spots nice one i'm gonna take a picture all right all right we gotta get a new swimbait guys oh matter of fact i don't even know yeah i do got one okay i'm not gonna re-tie this whole thing but i will just take the swim bit off these are like pre-made ones should i just tie it on we're just going to take it off yeah look at that one they were demolishing that swim bait we got a fresh one this looks a little bent but uh i think it's fine i think we'll be all right i'm having a lot of fun guys this is been a very enjoying video i don't know what that means enjoying video geez all right there we go we got our new swim bait let's get back out there see if we can get a couple more right there that's the money i feel it i'm gonna get bit this cast yes ma'am yes cerski i got a little fish stick he's not big but they might be stacked down there he had it on the fall i didn't even move it oh that's a good one oh yeah that's the biggest one today he's right there where i call that last one yeah that might be the biggest today it's hard to tell ah i don't know they're all so good like we caught like five that are like pretty good ones look how fat he is nice fish not a giant but he's a nice fat one and i'll take him thank you buddy right there in the corner of his mouth yeah see how like he's a meatball got some nice fish today i'm just disappointed that we've only caught bass guys like i really didn't want to just catch bass i wanted to fish for whatever bites no i mean the challenge still is what the challenge is it's just we haven't been successful with bluegill or crafty yeah or catfish yeah this catfish i mean i i was just hoping to catch a little bit of everything but these bass are just tearing it up this swim beat i mean the swim bait's more understandable but that bait that you have on i really think you should have caught a few bluegill or something all right y'all i think we're gonna close out today's video i hope you guys enjoyed it hit the like button if you did

Positioning For Breakthrough (Sermon Only) || Pst Bolaji Idowu || 29th January 2023
praise the Lord Hallelujah amen listen to this testimonies where's the where's the young girl with the family where they come [Music] there's a girl that couldn't walk since 2019. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] come with her come glory to God [Applause] [Music] yes testify how are you is this working let me see it's working look this way so I'm very grateful to God for working what is your name first look into this attend this way I know you're shy yeah tell me my name is and I'm 12 years old and so since nine yeah I want to ask your sister because tell me when your sister came back home and you start working what went through your mind I I don't know um there is a good idea I don't know um well I went to my where my mind was um she was healed okay wow praise God there's a miracle only God knows what this family has been through to see this miracle Jesus loves you [Music] and everything is perfecting for you in Jesus name what do you have to say yeah I'm just thankful to God I believe it's a healing Journey right and our prayer is that healing is really going to be perfected amen and that she's going to work perfectly in Jesus name um let me explain that to you yes one God doesn't do abandon things it doesn't go halfway that's not the God we serve so someone says why does it not happen on at the same time sometimes the body process yeah so when you read the Bible the Bible says that one person was healed and just guys asked I'm the master active when did he begin to amend amen means what did they begin to recover sometimes just the nature of how the bones had been for years but then you know so the things are flowing back and all of those kind of things so what I need you to do is do things and I'm saying so because I see this all the time number one is to keep reminding yourselves that she needs to keep exercising her faith and stay in the place of Thanksgiving yeah through the season yes all right yes so Pastor one of the reasons you know we came today is you know remember when Jesus said we're not 10 healed right so the reason we came is you know to give Thanksgiving to God I wasn't in the country when you know they came for the importation service you had the dad yes I'm the dad oh who brought it so it was my mom unfortunately I wasn't in the country at the time my wife had traveled as well too so I told my mom to come stay you know to just help and so my mom okay so my sister the connection to the church is that my sister that is currently in Canada now she's a member of this church oh wow and you know my mom is a woman of prayer why am I getting a side view of him what am I looking a very good view of him the camera you should fix that yeah yeah okay thank you so you know of course you know maybe they want to look into the camera because yeah okay yes and you know so you know ladies and their moms so she encouraged my mom to come over and that's you know to bring Danny we've been praying about nimi's case you know for some years now but like I said yeah it's a journey like Pastor said as well so it's a journey and we know it's going to be perfected amen um what keeps coming to my mind is that so we got the we got the diagnosis that nimi had mild cerebral palsy in 2019 that was three years ago and you know they just told me about my time that I have one more minute for this testimony oh okay okay there's a lot to unpack there's a lot of work but the thing about miracles you know as God has ministered to me is that God practically needs to suspend the natural order of things thank you Jesus and so I know that this is going to happen it's going to be a miracle where because when you're diagnosed with cerebral palsy it's a lot of things yeah it's another thing it affects you know the brain I understand but it means performance I mean she easily stops 80 you know in school so we don't have any problem in that area but it's just you know our walk-in and we know that God is going to set aside because when it when it happened is it is it damage to a part of them I understand because I pray for the sick so I've seen a lot of this so this is not the first time and because I've done it for a long time most of the time the parents always want to explain to me like you are joined to do right now they always want to explain to me and I'm like I know and they're like you still don't know and you know you know I said okay so just you know to cut the long story short Jesus said we're ten not healed we know know that name is healing has started and it's going to be perfected in Jesus name thank you very much you know thank you very much to the house we appreciate the opportunity to fellowship with you today can I give you a hug oh wonderful all right bless you go back with Daddy now go back with Daddy now yeah good work praise God hallelujah praise the Lord that is wonderful that is wonderful just imagine this is 2019. from what I heard that she has not worked yeah and sometimes like he said sometimes just three years of not using something have you packed a car for three years I've not started before what happens when you started it becomes a big challenge praise God Hallelujah yes we we how can I gonna share your testimony right now give him a give me a microphone [Applause] um good morning church good morning so last year I think I started attending Harvesters January last year close to wine press so at the end of wine press it was time for the Isaac offering and you know in December you spend a lot of money so in January your account is looking like this but God put an amount in my heart and usually when God tells me something I'll just do it so I gave that amount of money and I forgot about it so about June I got a contract that was 10 times the sum of money that I gave wow then in May when I was about to travel for my brother's wedding one of my best friends gave me an envelope full of dollars wow then this testimony is almost complete but I'll give it now so that it will not return empty one of my prayer points last year was I wanted access to people of influence and information and when I get it the resources to execute so I was in Abuja having a discussion with my friend and I was like we need to do contracts a few weeks later he calls me this is on the table the money was not there okay I called another of my friends see what is on the table we need this amount of money without hesitation he brought the money we executed so now one of the items I brought here is the report for that contract we are praying on it praise God and by the grace of God and then in this service you mentioned in the first service that see yourself in an apartment in Manhattan one of the pictures I printed was a penthouse of a looking Central Park in Manhattan and I brought it so Pastor today I will receive all the things I brought today thank you wow somebody shout hallelujah [Music] all praise God wow why impress nothing powerful testimonies online all of you that have testimonies you must find a way to send us your testimonies you know I love what Lee means dad said he said we have come back to come and testify we've come back to come and testify to the work of the Lord Hallelujah glory to God will you please turn your so yeah so what would okay let me say this right now so everyone press we have an instruction to take an offering that will stretch us every one of us does that including myself so even the pastor is not Exempted so we have that offering we call it Isaac offering Isaac offering is literally from the Bible where Abraham offered Isaac Isaac was the most precious person in his life he offered Isaac so it's not just your fight or your offering it's an offering that you get to that pinches you it's a stretch so what that means is that if you've never given maybe 10 000 before you want to stretch and give 10 000 and if you've never done a hundred thousand given before you want to stretch and say I'm giving for the first time my first hundred thousand the question is that why do we give our giving is a testimony of faith like he was doing we're testifying in advance of the power and the grace of God with testify in advance you know so I understand something like oh I hope I did not try to make me lose my money no if you have nobody's other compulsion and neither am I tiny to if this happens no no no I'm tying it to your faith so some of you to be the first time you give a hundred thousand and the Lord will stretch you and some of you to be the first time I give you 500 000 and they will stretch and some of it's a great time you get the first one million 2.5 want 10 million and it will stretch you give him is a function of faith not what you have given is a function of Faith you don't care because I have a lot of money a lot of people that have a rich don't give but your faith in that I obey God and I believe so this child I'm believing God for this country of believing God these things look at his own testimony and it just happened we've already done this but some of you are just coming for the first time the oceans have their sleeps which is the icy conference lives please take it and fade it out you don't have to write your name you know that you can write it if you want to nobody is following up on anything it's just between you and God but all of it that have to sleep I see some people write them I want this I want that uh I want a I want a I want you to get I want to pay my rent and those are great things don't want to ask you can you ask yourself some big deal things big deal things like Lord I want to buy my payment to a house in ikoy yeah asking for that kind of thing Lord I would at least let one of your requests be something that is a goal that once you hit it you know God has done something it may not be all of your requests Lord I don't mind to have a private jet that's my request at least one of the three things so you can whip your hands and the options will give you a sleep if you want the Isaac that I am the Isaac offering cards yeah just with your hands some of you have already gotten it and the reason why is that when we begin to pray we're going to bring it together we'll trade on some already and we're going to pray over it so raise your hands and the options to give you that at the moment glory to God I say glory to God it's amazing it's amazing you know I can and um and thank you for sharing that powerful story of what the Lord is doing Glory so if you want to use your hands up just raise up your ends Oceans Where are you yeah yeah help give them all those cards you know help give them all those cards and as we just stretch our faith all right glory to God let's start in our teaching today in the first and second service I really in the first person especially I did a lot of particular about Clarity in the second service I spoke about it a little and we jumped did I even mention to you that um today we were men oh wow can you play the video when press was powerful you know the Testament are just like boggling which one I'm loading for time play the video one more ministry here I hope you know they were sharing one first in all the other churches and Tony in that place the power of God hits the children in the children's church in the children's church let me show you what happened they capture the video play the video there's a children's church as a minister the children fell under the power they began to cry they began to cry and pray and shake so not to run out and get one of the pastors like we don't look at the children they have to go and get the pastors to come and administer and they were not even here they were watching in the extension give you some volume they'll have to hold the children they had to because they didn't know what you know look at that [Applause] by God you can't fake this you can fake this this is the raw power of the Holy Spirit just imagine they were watching TV and the power of God was touching them this way praise God will you please turn your Bibles to John chapter 5 John chapter 5. this is wonderful someone say hallelujah John chapter 5. verse 2. so we have that so many miracles defeating a lot about online got healed from different countries sent in their testimony Hallelujah all right John chapter 5 in verse 2. the Bible says this and there is a Jerusalem but the Sheep Market to pull and I'm talking about how to receive a breakthrough and honestly breakthrough a breakthrough is different you know it's not you know a breakthrough can be anything it's just about moving to the next level moving to the next level some of you are here and um it's a spiritual breakthrough you want just want to be in a place where you can experience God on another dimension that's all you want some of you are here it's more than a spiritual breakthrough there's a breakthrough you want in your finances there's a bridge you want in your business there's something big that you want God to do for you so how to receive a breakthrough the question I want to ask is this one of the challenges I've seen is and the reason I'm teaching this is this we've been spending the 20 the last few days to fast and pray why are many Christians talk despite the prayers despite the fasting despite all of those things just to struggling it's just something from God's word that we can teach they can open their eyes to see what the spirit of God can do and the possibilities of the spirit glory to God yeah so John chapter 5 verse 2. it's a long reading the Bible said the reason Jerusalem but the Sheep Mark pull a pool which was called in the Hebrew tongue Batista having five poachers in this lay a great multi of impotence of a blend of the blind heart waited waiting for the move of the water it was a community of sick people the Bible says for an angel went at a certain season into the pool and chop of the water and whosoever first after the trouble of the water stepped in was made all of whatever this is that he had the Bible says in verse five and the settlement was there which had an infirmity for 30 and 80 years he had been sick and been there for 30 and 80 years the Bible says and when Jesus saw him lie and knew that he had been there now a long time he said to him will thou be meho question what is the answer to this question will thou be made whole what it's either going to be in the affirmative it's going to be yes or what no what did the man answer the Bible says this the Bible says and the importance of an answer then said to him I have no man and the question you want to ask is this this is a major problem when you spend the problem for a long time it begins to affect your belief system the one that sends the angel to the river to heal the sick came himself looks at you in the face and says well thou they made whole and you say I have no man one of the major challenges one of the major challenges is this one of the major challenges is the fact that for God to touch you he must touch your belief system for God to touch you he must touch your belief system I was teaching the leaders and I said this to them I said every breakthrough is a change in belief and is a change in mental it is a change in insight there is an Insight you have that leads to a change in belief so if you're looking for a marital breakthrough you're going to have a change in belief if you're looking for a financial breakthrough there's going to be a change in belief even if a spiritual breakthrough there's going to be changingly and the change and belief is based on a change in insight the question is there's which thoughts pattern or belief system do you have that's holding you captive beliefs are very powerful what are believes beliefs are conviction beliefs are conviction beliefs are confusion beliefs are confidence in something why I believe is very powerful number one John chapter 11 verse 40 believe believe creates what you see John chapter 11 verse 40 John chapter 11 verse 40. this is what the Bible says this it says if thou wilthas believe you will see the glory of God the question is this why can't you see the glory of God because you don't believe it there are people that are here that people that hear that praying and saying that Lord I want to break an addiction but you don't see yourself as an addiction you don't see yourself addiction free but people that hear that you know they're praying Lord I want to move my business by 10x but do you believe because what's your belief determines what you see you're praying for a marriage but when a great guy comes he says that you think it's not real because you don't believe it do you believe the Lord can heal you do you believe the Lord can expand you do you believe the Lord can change your level do you believe that things can turn around in a huge and significant way see what the Bible says here he said and Jesus said unto us say I not to you that a thou would believe you will see the glory of God you will see what you believe determines what you see what are you believing what you believe determines what you see that belief determines your what View you keep telling yourself they're not responsible man you will not see one you keep telling yourself that this country nobody makes money you will not make money because what you believe you keep telling yourself I cannot do what in Nigeria then you will not do in Nigeria you keep telling yourself that nobody wants to help me that nobody wants to help you you're very correct whatever you believe becomes your reality Jesus Christ said if you will believe all things it says if you will believe he said you will see what you see is what you believe and this man was waiting for an invitation yet he didn't believe it could happen to him it was just practicing religion and that was it why is believe powerful because what you believe is what you become John chapter 1 verse 12 what you believe is what you become let me tell you something you have to travel into North Face before you travel external what you believe is what you become John chapter 1 verse 12. see what the Bible says it is as many as believed on him to them he gave the power to become it's your believing that turns you to become [Music] the question is this what exactly do you believe do you what exactly do you believe about 2023 do you have some very clear beliefs about 2023 what do you believe he says as men has believed on him he may give the power to become what cannot enter your mind cannot enter your life what cannot enter your mind cannot enter your life I had a very powerful testimony very touching because a lot of who died and this was the only survival it was an Ethiopian air crash it happened many years ago and I think it was carrying a lot of Nigerians and when the pilot announced and said sorry we're gonna have a crash and they told everybody do whatever you can do to give yourself alive the there was a guy in the plane and um he took the mantle that was anointed he put it on his head the guy next to him said did he hear the pilot but going to have a crash do whatever you want to do to die prepare do whatever you want to do you know we're gonna crash and die he says what are you going to do and the guy looked at him he said I don't want preparing to die I'm preparing to leave eventually this is a big testimony is a documented Story the plane landed and crashed into two or three he was the only one that came out alive he said he found himself on the floor on the seat he said I told them you are preparing to die he said me I'm not paying to die I'm preparing to live please some people are preparing for a recession they will see it we are preparing for Surplus we will see it [Music] the reason why is that what you believe you will become what you believe you will become what you believe you will become there's nothing about believing is this you're believing determines your response and your performance your believing determines what your response and what your performance so if you believe there's nobody to marry you will behave in a way that you'll never find someone to marry if you believe that there's no money anywhere your belief your I want to ask you something for have you ever seen someone that has a dog and the dog does not bite and yet you'll not show your friend that doesn't like dogs and Your Friends start running and you know and you just say no no have you seen my dog Bingo he doesn't bite he's a he's a pet dog and you say hey bingo I said no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no ass is running you know the dogs are chasing and the person wonders what went wrong just now the reason why is that your belief was transferred to the dog do you believe that if you believe that there's nobody in this country you know what happened as money is coming to you'll be running away from it because you'll be running to where there's no money because that's what you believe you believe that there's no great woman to marry what will happen to you that's great when I'm coming you will not go towards great women you go towards world are not great you believe that business will not do well in this country that's what it is see if God wants to change a man he changed the belief system I'm saying so because in this meeting when the impartation of God comes upon you there'll be new insights there'll be new beliefs and one of the things we're going to do in this business you're going to do two videos you're going to do a video of yourself telling yourself what you have received so by the time you get to next month next quarter what life becomes tough you can remind yourself that this is who I am somebody say hallelujah Hallelujah your belief determines your response you cannot think small and act big you know why because you believe determines your response so if God wants to help you while God helps you is that God begins to work in your belief system he begins to work in your belief system you can't think small and act big you can't think negative and be positive you can't think negative and have a positive life people that always depressed always have negative thoughts people that always societal always have negative thoughts people that are very Progressive always have positive thoughts the question is this which touch do you dwell in your life do you dwell in your negative thoughts or you're doing on positive thoughts Jesus Christ acts the man in John chapter five he says do you want to walk the man says I have no man that is not the question the question is do you want to walk the answer to the question is yes if Jesus comes to you and says do you want thought for your business don't tell him that I don't know anybody shut up say yes if Jesus comes to you and say do you want to get married say I don't know good man say yes [Applause] [Music] say yes [Music] sometimes you'll believe us oh challenged you cannot see it and remember your beliefs determined your response but God really wants to bless you one of the things he does is to send you a message that will change your belief what Satan wants to attack you guess what they attacked you know when you talk about demotic attack a lot of you allow all this own video to affect your mind because you think of people like you know those are not see those are Hollywood representation of ignorance of what they think spiritual attack is the major spiritual attack takes place in your mind first thanks you know what they are called they are called limiting thoughts he will just say that your marriage can never be happy and you accept it and the moment you believe it guess what happens to you you begin to act in a way that makes your marriage unhappy he says nobody can marry you you will accept it and because you believe the term means what your performance looks chapter 1 verse 37 it's a blessed is he that believeth for there shall be performance unto the things he believes he tells you that nobody will form your Beast a lot of bad beliefs and the reason I'm asking you is this do you know the area of your life what the devil has put your limiting thoughts in your mind have you looked at it before I forgot to mention to you this Sunday when we're not going to have this service here would spend over 100 million holding the service here in the last time they would entered all the Halls we had almost 20 000 people every night for the past three days and really spent a lot who said something service let's go to our course go back to church it's for services and that was good and yesterday I got a call from our church administrator of the lucky church and he said to me that showed me you can show the video and he showed me the video and they said we put and because we're not over large we put an extra tent in the car park I rented on that car park and we you know and what would happen was I because of this rain on Friday the rain uprooted the tent landed it on the other tent and one tent began to destroy the other tent and when I got there I had the opportunity to be like we are finished what is going to happen I looked at it I said why are you so hungry what have we done just 20 000 people that's when you hear them making noise on Twitter they say possibility has taken all the bad people you know they you know you know you know this and this and this I said we're just coming we're just we're just started the kingdom of This one belongs to our God oh wow somebody shout hallelujah by just coming the biggest concert can be some people singing with naked bodies there can be some people no no no no no no the biggest concert is for the biggest name and the biggest name is the name of Jesus somebody said amen [Music] foreign [Applause] I said Lord maybe you're trying to tell me something also just like just for you in case you don't know this year we have NLP conference in the UK and guess what we're at the Wembley Arena 10 000 people probably I ran out 10 000 people it's not a concert it's a prayer conference and the whole place will be packed with the power of the Holy Ghost foreign glory to God So Yesterday by 12 noon we have to make a decision and they said we called this place they said oh we've turned down everything that's why they say different when they turned on everything we said the time they say but it cost this amount of money I'm like oh my goodness we just spent a lot of money we're trying to buy this facility we need to pay this and sustain some of the married men in church just say Pastor how much is it give it to us and before I knew it all the music hit [Music] hold on but that's not it I didn't think about it as negative but this is Satan I'm finished oh you lose your job and finish stop talking that way you're more than a conqueror just because you had divorce now your life is over ah you have more than a conqueror just because you're more than a conqueror the Bible said great is he that is in me that he that doesn't know what somebody standing your feelings shut Hallelujah foreign [Applause] ER it's also why they shout him because the shouting side is a weed inside somebody get a lot of big shots praise God they can have your seat and guess what we're here today think about us this is a third service how will have all those people fitted in into the bagada church into the lucky Church islamine chaos upon chaos upon the chaos of one chaos you think you have big dreams God is saying you're dreaming too small but you need to believe you need to believe so how does so listen to this what Satan does is this he puts this limiting thought in the heart of people Exodus chapter 1 verse 8. I hope you can say this quickly Exodus one verse 8 how does certain attack people he puts those thoughts in their mind I'm going to give you some examples of the thoughts verse 8 the Bible says they arose the king of Egypt that knew not Joseph continue verse 9 and the Bible says and they said to the people it's people the people the children of Israel read with me they are what good listen the King was very strategic he said the Israelites are more and they're mightier than we question how did the people that were more Almighty become slaves this is what I call the strategy of pharaoh and Babylon it's a satanic strategy think about it not because we're weaker he was afraid they would take over them look at the next line he says this he says verse 10. come on let's deal with them I Stay lest they multiply and they come to pass that when they fall let us any War they jump with our enemies that fight against us and so they get them out of the land did you hear that so the attack of his Egypt was fear because if you can understand this you understand the big principle how the Pharaoh move them from people that were mightier and more people that were scared and small the next line one thing he did Bible says gradually he began to make their life better he began to make the life Peter you know why as he made their life bitter on the outside their image on the inside changed and they turned from Victors to victim on the inside and as they became victim on the inside then they began to oppress them what does Satan do first of all satan does Satan is the master of using situations to tell you how bad you are how weak you are he's the one that will break your marriage you will not say you're an irresponsible man he's the one that will make you lose the money you're not saying a bad person he uses to convince you will do the damage he will use damage to accuse you gradually just imagine Israel was Israel was Stronger they became victims you know why this was the time does it will use the things you see you see you see you're not married how can you be intelligent how can you be fine you're not married at 37 and I said that's true I cannot be intelligent he will use he will cause the problem then use the problem to oppress you he will make you sin now accuse you with this thing before God and that's how many of you are what brought us another limiting thought that Satan tells you let me give you some Satan will tell you I have nobody to help so I began to say things like I have nobody to help me see that's going to tell you it's going to tell you everybody wants to cheat me what kind of demonic thought is that people don't want to change me they want to help me good men are sent ahead of me the church we read the Bible that when the steps of a man except when I ordered of the Lord the steps of the righteous man are all that of the Lord everybody was the reason why I pray for God compassion like a shield I am favored he puts the stuff in your mind he says I'm a nobody how can you be a nobody did you read the Bible Bible says Christ in you it's a hope of glory [Music] and all the stuff begins to limit you and you begin to think small and small and small Satan tells you good man I had to find are you like didn't you read in the Bible did you read did you read Isaiah chapter 62 verse 5. did you read in your Bible is it good when I had to find see what the Bible says access to verse five look at what the Bible says do you have it oh yeah he said as a Young Man marry as a virgin foreign [Applause] things will happen in your life angels will be jumping in heaven like this Angels he says as the Bible Rejoice set over his wife over his bride he said the Lord will rejoice over you they said you will have testified that will make Heaven proud they said things will happen to your children that will make Heaven proud things will happen in your business I will make Heaven proud you'll be rolling from testimony to testimony from Grace to Grace from Victory to Victory shout to even somebody somebody [Applause] [Music] praise God please you can have your set as I close this morning I want to ask you some questions someone says how do I know if I have other thoughts that's nice used to hold me back I'll give you some like it's just Aries I can ask what area of your life do you feel powerless and unhappy about you know why if there's an area of your life where you feel powerless unhappy about most likely there's a belief there that is making you unhappy think about it what area of your life are you behind and you've tried to go forward and you can go forward what does God do when he wants to give breakthrough oh my God what God does is very powerful when God wants to give you what God wants to give you a breakthrough the first thing he does that he begins to destroy the limiting thoughts out of the Detroit he called Abraham he said Abraham come what was his name before Abram Abram means assume supposed father because they have a child he said let's destroy that name first no more Abram Abraham meaning the father of many nations he used he never destroyed that limiting thought that's why in this conference there's an inside that God is giving you that is meant to destroy the current limited is your word from the conference it's meant to destroy your current limiting thoughts come to it that's what the Bible says he send this word and it's what is light but the next thing God does is this this is wonderful somebody say hallelujah John chapter 4 verse 48 glory to God John chapter 4 verse 14 someone live to pray hangs and pray in the Holy Ghost pray pray praying the Holy Ghost praying the Holy Ghost meningosis amen do you have it see what see what the Bible says I want to show you how to receive today the Bible says Jesus said to them except you will see signs and wonders you will not believe what is this guy saying Jesus is saying this I want to do something in your life but you don't have the capacity to believe for it so you're working on this business range of 5 to 10 million but I want Victory range of 100 million even though you're praying you don't have what the capacitor belief for it God says so how do I help you so what God does is this he gives you a supernatural intervention why does he do that it does something in your life that expands your mind watch this so when he called Moses he said go and see Pharaoh Moses said me impossible I can do it he says Moses what do you have so a network expand Muslims belief system you know what he did he turned Moses Rod into his serpent he did what was he doing he told he didn't want music okay yeah the reason why God does impartation is to expand your belief system you know what what you see nimi healed that she expand your belief system well you see I can tell you my income went times 10x that's your expand your belief system when we start praying and you feel the power of the Holy Ghost question nobody taught you why do you feel that way she's like my God God is with me this year God is with me that's here that's your ex back you don't pass me George was telling me just before the service started he said I'm so confident about this year I said that's it I said that's where God wants you to be he wants you to start the year with the conviction that it is settled in your favor praise God how does God break limits your Insight from his word but the other thing that he takes you to an experience and breaks and that's why when disciples ask when this guy said the world the living of the Pharisee they're gonna say ah it's what because we don't have prayed okay say that are you guys okay how can everybody have bread didn't you see what happened before meaning that based on what happened before do you think bread is my problem you know what God is saying to you God is saying to you because the reason people struggle to believe is logic it's just human nature it's just difficult to believe some things can happen like let me spend some money now some people think that it's arranged I understand I used to think that way he said oh he's only going to come I'm gonna depict the father that they must have paid the father some good money to do this I understand the reason why is that it's just out of range for your mental power [Music] out of range but when God wants to help you it's you that will fall under the power nobody will touch you you will fall whoa what happened in the second service one lady was saying that he said I behave I'm fully Finally Falling he said and the lady I know her brother from the very educated home they staying the brother also you know brought us 40 something in oil and gas he said when the power of God came on us on when was it Thursday or Friday it was maybe Friday he said my sister fell out he said I fell out my brother he said I was feeling a Wild win he said I didn't talk about it because I thought I was imagining things this is about is is not 40s is that I think number he said but my brother posted the group chat that did anybody notice the wild wind he said then I said wow I wasn't imagining things this happened for real you know everything some of you you're so smart you're so used to life tires and logic it's difficult for you to believe in a miracle but that's why God wants to hit you like a thunderbolt so that it can expand your capacity stand up let us pray Oh Glory to God

William Cooper - Truths About Mormonism
now I wanna preface tonight's broadcast again with I'm not trying to destroy anybody's religion I don't care what you believe in but I want to bring to light and point out to you certain deceptions if you hear this broadcast and you wish to hold to those beliefs even though you know the deceptions or you may disagree and believe that they're not deceptions that's ok with me nothing wrong with that if however in holding to those deceptions you are attempting to destroy my beliefs are this great nation the Constitution the Bill of Rights which protect what I believe and many of us believe are our natural god-given rights then eventually we will face each other from a battlefield physically and spiritually so all I ask of anyone is that they understand the meaning the true meaning of freedom and if you are a true American that you practice that belief in freedom and that you practice the greatest the really the only rule that Jesus Christ and many other great men and the history of the world has given us and that is simply do unto others as you would have them do unto you I live ladies and gentlemen in Mormon territory and just to the north of the great state of Arizona is an entire state populated by believers members the Mormon Church I know many adherents to the Mormon faith personally and they are good honest wonderful people I don't believe that any one of these people that I know would ever hurt a fly knowingly for any reason whatsoever so with that preface said and done I want you to pay very close attention to tonight's broadcast Mormonism is a marvelously composite faith it has developed over a period of time and as it went along it took over some of the most divergent elements from other sects and groups including the masonry which probably was the root of the whole philosophy of the woman sure they brood a synthetic religion ladies and gentlemen in Utah which began on the eastern seaboard in the early eighteen hundreds the Mormon prophet Joseph Smith jr. was born or December the 23rd 1805 and sharing a Vermont it was reared in ignorance poverty and superstition moreover he was enveloped in his youth however quite in keeping with the superstitious atmosphere in which he breathed he claimed to have visions and divine revelations as early as 1820 and 1823 in the latter year 1823 the angel Moroni revealed to him so he says the spot where golden plates laid buried containing the history of ancient America and reformed Egyptian characters reformed Egyptian characters was a term that he created Smith undoubtedly meant characters not CA ra c t ors as espera but characters Steve h8r a CTRs but unlike mother Eddie and we'll get into depth about her some other night Mary Baker Eddy he had never known enough grammar for it to be eclipsed by a divine revelation can't see made occasional grammatical errors which cannot be overlooked in 1830 Joe as he was no organized the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints at Fayette New York this ladies and gentlemen he accomplished after having convinced a few friends that his translation of the golden plates after were duly returned into the hands of the angel Moroni had been done not as was maliciously slandered with the aid of a Pete stone in a hat but with the assistance of the proper room and the Thummim which the obliging angel Hetzel thoughtfully provided the plates are stated to have been hidden in the earth from the year for 20 of our era until September 22nd 1823 when Joe Smith discovered them in the Hill Cumorah and yet the Book of Mormon being a faithful rendering of the said plates gives extensive quotations from the Bible in guess what ladies and gentlemen the King James Version how could that be Papa it contains modern phrases and ideas that could not have been known to it suppose an author in 420 ad long before the King James Version was ever conceived much less written it puts the words of Jesus though often twisted into the mouths of men alleged to have lived centuries before Christ so how could they ever have known what he said it was not only met many poor imitation of biblical style ladies and gentlemen it also undermines the Bible by declaring it insufficient by adding to and changing many biblical passages by divine revelation of course for such reasons as these it can hardly have been revealed by an angel unless that angel of course was Lucifer its story of the ancient inhabitants of America the supposed ancestors of the Latter day Saints contains 12 major historical errors easily proven and which have been absolutely proven over the years the Book of Mormon is officially recognized by both branches of Mormonism has a equal Authority with the Bible and tactically receives honor far beyond the Bible with its adherents but there is an abundance ladies and gentlemen of any contestable evidence that the origin of the Book of Mormon must be sought in Solomon's foldings unpublished and stolen novel entitled the manuscript found the Mormons try to obliterate this evidence by referring to another manuscript the manuscripts story but the same spalling they prove that the Book of Mormon is not a copy of the latter manuscript but of the first the unknowing are thus convinced that Joseph Smith did not copy from the Spalding manuscript but the real argument that the golden Bible is the work of copying and embellishing by Rigden and Smith remains unanswered in June of 1831 a revelation commanded the Saints to settle in Missouri which they called the land of Zion and indeed the morning church is scientists to its core this land of Zion fair deputy Kirtland Ohio and Zion Missouri now became headquarters of the movement but for some pagan reason or other the Gentile neighbors did not trust the Mormons and accused them of various crimes the saints which the Mormons called themselves did not hesitate to denounce the Gentiles as enemies of the Lord when the safety bank at Kirtland a Mormon enterprise failed in 1838 Smith and his friend Sidney Rigdon fled to Missouri from Missouri they were driven away by order of governor Boggs in 1839 finding a welcome in Illinois they erected the city now boo here the Prophet Joseph Smith made his biggest display announcing himself among other feats candidate for the presidency of the United States he was accused of gross immorality counterfeiting sheltering criminals and the act of fleeing from justice and other nasties snip was arrested but a mob stormed the jail and shocked to death both prophet Joseph and his brother Hyrum and his dying fall from window above Joseph Smith was seen to give the Masonic distress signal now this was a rather unfortunate occurrence for the anti-mormon cause since the Prophet now ladies and gentlemen became a martyr we all know what happens when someone becomes a martyr ask the South Africans and I'll bet if they had it to all over again they would never ever have jailed 40 years ago a black man who then became a martyr and the cause of the communist movement and eventually his martyrdom resulted in the downfall of the South African government and the takeover by the communists now it would have been inevitable because racism is immoral it is wrong it is indecent it is unethical and it would have happened eventually healing but it didn't have to happen at the hands of communism so Joseph Smith became a murder when his indictment was inside in the movement might have died a natural death headed men for they just grievance killed their cause by immortalizing their opponent and giving his followers a supposed occasion for seeking revenge upon the wicked inhabitants of Gentile America and their descendants and the hierarchy of the leadership of the Mormon Church today is totally immersed in the creation of the new world fatality Rhian socialist order Brigham Young came from England where he had been proselytizing and by the force of his personality put several rivals out of commission he became the recognised leader of the large majority of Mormons where young was a strong man with only eleven days of formal schooling he went far in this world and became a statesman and leader of no mean proportions he had a personality that could overcome opposition he remained true he remained true and believed in Joseph Smith all of his life Brigham Young led the thousands of disciples amid untold suffering and home in July 1847 they reached Utah and on the way one branch established the first communist settlement in the Long Valley known as order Ville Utah was then unoccupied Mexican territory Jung did not know himself whether the long trek was the right track or whether Utah with the place where they were really supposed to be although he convinced the flock that it was he would say quote I will know the place when I see it in quote when the outposts of the travelers reached what is now known as Salt Lake City he announced his one and only revelation to wit the Lord had revealed to him that here would be the place where the Saints would be free from Gentile American persecution and this became so far the third desire each one was supposed to be the place of the New Jerusalem and Mormons today still look to now bow Illinois's as the true Zion in America the Mormons under Jung's leadership became excellent pioneers fact all through the western state you will see statues erected to the pioneers and if you understand the organization's and the peoples who erected these statues they are really statues and memorials to the Mormon pioneer there's one right near me in the city of Springville for many years ladies and gentlemen they had things entirely their own way the incident of the seagulls who ate the grasshoppers which had settled upon their first crop convinced them that the Lord was with them and approved their new venture never mind the fact that seagulls had been living and feeding off the life within the salt lake and around the surrounding area long before the Mormons ever showed up upon the scene hard pioneering conditions frugal habits tithing in the interest of the church made the early Mormons and the church very rich one of the richest organizations upon the fence of this earth today so the missionaries were sent to England and other European countries and even out to the Pacific Islands to catch converts especially women especially ladies and gentlemen women young who had 25 wives ruled with an iron hand in the colony apostates didn't last long we usually found somewhere cut up into many pieces blood spilled running to the maximum that blood could be spilled and run because the Mormons believed in blood atonement anyone who disagreed with the hierarchy of the leadership of the church was very often found in this condition drained of blood parts of their bodies scattered as to the rule of Brigham Young the Beehive and Lions house two symbols that we've discussed extensively on this broadcast over the last four years the opinions of his runaway wife and Eliza and his daughter Susan differ quite a bit when in 18-49 at the close of a Mexican War Utah became American territory the Mormons refused to be ruled from jujin had they not fled from the United States because of persecution followed a long history of diplomatic and other blunders on both sides until finally young the first governor of the state of Utah had to admit another governor young ladies and gentlemen however remain the first president of the church he was assisted lo and behold by Twelve Apostles you see it's always the same story notorious is the incident of the mountain meadow Massacre when in 1857 an entire group of immigrants on their way from Arkansas to California during the gold rush was murdered in Utah for this the Mormon John D Lee was executed by the United States government in 1877 Brigham Young lived to the age of 76 and died in 1877 after the United States obtained greater influence the Mormons became known as good pioneers although also as political intrigue urged for they still every person every adult male took an oath of revenge against the United States for what had happened in the early history of their church and up until recently they still took that oath and the present leadership of the church the hierarchy of the leadership of the Mormon Church called the Brethren took that oath and it is questionable today and really unknown whether they still take deal they deny it they continue to erect costly temples among these is the great ninth or Mesa temple in Arizona where Bobo drifts frequently speaks was built in 1927 and here visitors from every state or shown mural paintings portraying the history of Mormonism as twisted by the Mormons and I mean twisted ladies and gentlemen for over the years they have changed their history and while they claim the Book of Mormon to be the divine translation of the words of God from the golden tablets given to Joe Smith by the angel Moroni they have changed that text several thousands of times and anyone can discover this simply by obtaining an early Booker Mormon and comparing it with the Book of Mormon that exists today whenever anyone proved that any part of the Book of Mormon was false faith are fabricated the hierarchy of the church simply changed it in order to preserve the religion in 1937 two more temples at Los Angeles and Idaho Falls were on the program of the church at a total cost of two million six hundred thousand dollars which in those days was a tremendous amount of money similarly on the Hill Cumorah in New York a tall monument now convinces equally large numbers of people of the truth of the Moroni Urim and Thummim legend at the death of George Albert Smith a distant relative of Joseph and the eighth prophet seer and Revelator in April 1951 the Council of twelve apostles chose as his successor David O McKay thus began his administration at the age of 77 he is expected to pay less attention to business than did some of his predecessors and the lay emphasis upon converts and of course that is exactly what he did in 1948 a very astute writer was treated to a lecture given at the end of a conducted tour through the Utah temple grounds if you haven't visited the Mormon temple in Salt Lake City you should in this lecture the tremendous organization of the Mormon Church and the direction of social security was duly stressed the lady who spoke said quote not only do I many others freely donate our time to conduct these tours I have at the present two sons who are on a one-year missionary tour for all Mormon young men are required to donate from one to two years of their time going for reach preaching the gospel at no other pay than their room and board many of these missionary tours are performed in foreign countries and it's extremely revealing ladies and gentlemen that upon completion of those tours any graduation from Brigham Young University they frequently return to those same countries as agents of the Central Intelligence Agency the Office of Naval Intelligence feein Defense Intelligence Agency the National Security Agency and many others the entire intelligence community today I can tell you with no hesitation whatsoever is mainly populated by Mormons recruited from Brigham Young University and these people by and large are in charge of the covert operations black projects and intelligence gathering organizations of the United States of America these missionaries are supported as much as possible by parents and other relatives you must fork out money in addition to their normal expenses and trying to save and put aside in the 10% that they must give to the church in addition to that they move on to meals one Sunday a month have a meatless day once a month and the amount so saved is given to the church for distribution among the poor this custom was begun during the Great Depression in the 1930s and I have no beef with that the unemployed donated their time worked in charity houses where surplus grain and other staples are taken care of for the work it done these received their key and thus the central clearinghouse in Salt Lake City has provided by all means of mutual aid and self-help for all members of the church so as to cast no one at any time on public relief and that is truly the American Way the way it was for many many years in this country before Big Brother decided to take care of everyone every community had charitable organizations religious organizations and ladies clubs and so on and so forth who took care of the indigent citizens of their cities or towns townships are even in the countryside and for someone who really really needed something to eat in a place to sleep there was always work so perhaps these means towards Social Security together with the enormous zeal of six thousand Mormon missionaries touring the continent are largely responsible for the growth of the Utah Mormons - one of the largest religious organizations in the world today or I've had six thousand Mormon missionaries in this country you have no concept of how many there are spread across the world ladies and gentlemen and 6,000 is a very conservative number and must tell you but they don't really release all of their figures almost any system that stresses as does Mormonism temporal salvation as well as spiritual salvation is bound to receive a hearing in these days that ask for material results rather than for doctrinal foundation and material results is the great attraction of the Mormon Church if you live in a city that is mainly populated by Mormons ladies and gentlemen and you are not a member of the Mormon Church you are not going to make it in your business and they make no secret of telling you that every so often you will be visited by one of the missionaries of the Mormon Church who will tell you that they can guarantee the success of your business if you will just come in and be a member of the Brotherhood so to speak and of course if you refuse you're shunned in politics and business and in society so what what is it the constitutes Mormonism many respects they operate exactly the same at the Masonic Lodge and many other secret fraternal organizations that exist throughout the world the Joseph ice origin of the doctrine whereas the denials by later Joseph i'ts proved to be flimsy upon closer scrutiny they also are often rather vague and uncertain in fixing the responsibility for polygamy and the time when it was introduced into the church on him Brodie lists 48 rural wives of Joseph Smith in spell there are then certain differences ladies and gentlemen between the teachings of the Brigham i'ts both of the Joseph fights these center chiefly around prophetic succession and of course the old Bugaboo that has haunted them polygamy the Joseph Pike's claim that the president of the church must be quote of the seed of Joseph Smith in quote shirk has wittily remarked it appears to me that if they would split the difference they would have about the truth and that is as it now stands the Joseph fights have the president and the burger mites of the church another convert from the reorganized Church however repudiates on good grounds the alleged hint of Joseph Smith that his son should succeed him you see while the Joseph is admitting Lee were without the president from 1852 the year of the organization until 1860 when Joseph's son joined their ranks where then with the church from 1844 to 1860 if the Joseph's Heights are right again the dosa fights reject polygamy but this is just as illogical on their part as is the Utah rejection of the inspired translation of the Bible which the dosa fights except for Joseph Smith himself was a polygamist the Joseph White's reject in toto the Adam God doctrine of the Brigham writes but they do believe in many gods and gods with flesh and bones as does the Utah group many gods it's a New Age religion and the main God is it the God of the Bible as they claim not at all ladies and gentlemen the God that they talk about is alternately Lucifer or the first man in the Garden of Eden Adam and it depends upon the particular ceremony and exactly who and what you're quoting thus the differences are few and with the exception of the Joseph I'd rejection of polygamy insignificant both groups hold before the public misleading documents supposed to state their beliefs but in reality concealing them for you don't really learn the real beliefs or understand them just like in the free Masonic Lodge you ordered the rows across the ancient and military order of the rows and cross the Knights of Malta the Knights Templars all of these you don't learn it so you reach a high level within the church and can be trusted then and only then are you told the truth about the God and the ceremony and the meaning of the symbols and the religion of Mormonism the real beliefs to quote a lifelong student of Mormonism are essentially in common as follows quote Smith a prophet continuous revelation through him and others the Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants as such revelations the pearl of great price as translated by Smith parts of which are parts of the inspired translation by him more revelations yet to come at least equal to the Bible Melchizedek and ironic priesthoods gathering tithing flesh and bones God Adam many gods logically involved in this but not often advocated by Joseph i'ts Christ in the spirit but not Bible conceptions stand a necessity for man hell is a saving agency salvation through works instead of by faith in Christ exactly as in the Masonic Lodge baptism which is immersion essential to salvation pre-existence of all men apostasy of the Christian Church Authority organization of the church on their style punishment after death temporary and measured by sins pre millennion ISM the Bible defect even practically superseded by their revelations in the Book of Mormon their president alone the mouthpiece of God and American Pope etc in the temple ceremony when the people call out to God in one instance until recently when this was revealed to the American public the one that answered was Lucifer when this began public knowledge through revelations of disaffected Mormons the ceremony has been changed and now they deny any involvement with the worship of Lucifer but ladies and gentlemen I can assure you that any study of the Mormon religion will reveal that that is a lot quite a list of rarities I just gave you yet one that does not lay claim to completeness as to that the Reverend van bellen reminds us that their system contains elements borrowed from such widely divergent sources as Christianity Judaism Mohammedanism fetishism communism and communism is a big one and they are major players in the emerging new world order which will be totalitarian and socialist in nature they are in almost complete control of the secret agencies of the United States government which are bringing it about many Chi ism Campbell ISM Freemasonry and the hidden mystery religions of Babylon and others to discuss and trace all these errors one by one he adds one ought to write a voluminous book on the doctrine of Mormonism alone and in it discuss well not all religious sects of earlier and later times for it is indeed next to impossible ladies and gentlemen to give a concise view of its many heterogeneous elements because its earlier advocates we're anything anything at all but theologians and the Mormon Church has known for many years what is coming for they have advocated to their adherence to prepare as I have advocated for those of you who don't nothing about Mormonism or what is coming to prepare by storing food by getting ready by understanding by moving to a community with people who are like-minded so that you are not in total danger you may be in some danger at some point but not total danger that your neighbor is going to come over and kill you for canapes Mormons generally are intelligent people most nor Mormons in their heart know that their doctrine is false but their religion is a social religion that brings many rewards social rewards business rewards community rewards monetary rewards recognition a sense of belonging and just like the mystery schools they are told that they are part of the elect and that they know secrets which the propane will never know and since the Mormons usually for the most part live and mostly Mormon communities it is not in their best interest ever to admit that they know the falsity of the doctrine to bring up any criticism of the church for when they do has been well documented ladies and gentlemen that those who have the courage enough to question to tell the truth to stand up are ostracized outcast people who have claimed undying friendship immediately desert them they're excommunicated publicly and hounded by the church all of a sudden no one pink roses their business and no one will hire them if they need to get a job let's of course there are businesses in the area which are not warm and own throughout the years many people who have done these things have been found dead and the most bloody fashion according to the Mormon doctrine of blood atonement question always question never blindly follow anyone not me not your mother after minister not your president not anyone good night ladies and gentlemen and God bless each and every single one

4/7/24 SERMON: Thespian Christians
if you have your Bibles and you join me in James the 2 chapter beginning at verse 14 we're going to read read through verse 20 James 2 beginning at verse 14 and reading through verse 20 now watch this kids Tada you didn't even have to look it up I put it right up there for you but you got it in your hand good James chapter 2: 14- 20 I always read from the King James 10 next what do it profit my brethren though a man say he ha faith and have not works can Faith save him if a brother or sister be naked and destitute of daily food and one of you say unto them depart in peace be ye warmed and filled not withstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body what does it profit even so faith if it hath not works is dead being alone yay a man may say thou Hast faith and I have Works show me thy faith without thy works and I will show thee my faith by my Works thou believest that there is one God thou doest well the Devils also believe and tremble but wilt thou know oh vain man that faith without works is dead amen if we'll go to the Lord once again P we love you we thank you for the presence of the Lord As we sing the grand old songs of the church you wrote our name Lord and we're grateful that today we have that assurance that our name can be found in the Lamb's Book of Life and you are in fact and indeed the dearest friend I've ever had Master right now the word of God must go go forth I know I know that the message in my spirit is a message that you have planted there for this hour for this moment for this audience those in this room those that are watching by reason of the internet live and those who will watch later I need the anointing of the Holy Ghost if I'm to convey to the people of God which you have placed in my heart for this moment touch my spirit touch my body touch my lips and master today touch the ear of every hearer allow our heart today to be softened and made ready to receive the engrafted word of God that it might bring forth fruit unto righteousness that our faith might increase even at this hour for we ask it in none other than Jesus wonderful wonderful name amen praise God and amen I'm taking a little bit of poetic license today with the title of my message I've titled the message today fesan Christians the term fesp and you might recognize as a term that refers to those who participate in the acting profession actors and actresses I'm using that word today in a little bit different a context in a slightly different light as James the Lord's brother is writing to the church and explaining to them that faith without works now in this instance a lot of people the biggest mistake they make is every time they see a certain word especially in the King James they think it means the same thing everywhere but it doesn't often times they are actually translated from different words they translate three different words works but in this instance the term works does not mean works of righteousness it does not mean the works of the law it literally means action so what James the brother of the Lord is saying is that faith without action is useless he said if you've got somebody in the church who's hungry if you've got somebody in the church who needs clothing and you Pat them on the back of say well I'm praying for you said what good is your faith where's your action you're supposed to act not merely profess Faith there are a lot of people in the Christian world today who call themselves Christians but they don't act much like Christians calling yourself a DCT don't make you amen calling yourself a Christian a lot of people make that mistake folks Jesus said by by their fruits you'll know him he said it had nothing to do with what they're professing it has to do with what they're living if they're not living a life that demonstrates the fruit of the spirit love joy peace longsuffering gentleness meekness am I telling the truth amen if you're not seeing those things in their life then I got news for you I don't care how many times a week they go to church I don't care how much money they put in the offering plate I don't care if they're best friends with the pastor the reality is they are claiming something they do not [Music] possess and sadly there are too many people in our community today who have allowed themselves to be hurt and have allowed themselves to be pushed away from God by people who profess something they don't even possess mhm because they're actors they act like they're Christians they'll tell you they're a Christian now listen Andrew Lloyd Weber wrote one of the most lasting enduring popular plays in the history of Broadway called cats now people don't walk out on that stage made up like cats and dressed up like cats and then walk out on the stage and say look at me I'm a cat I'm a cat I woohoo I'm a cat no a true thespian is one Whose actions demonstrate the role they play so they're not claiming to be a cat they're acting like a cat so we have people in the church today who act like Christians I'm a Christian I'm a Christian I'm a Christian and yet their actions never demonstrate that they're a Christian but then you got thespian Christians and they act the part Hallelujah they actually act like Christians I've talked many times about uh the church I grew up in and the church that I came to be a part of when I moved to Fort Worth Texas both were wonderful churches I grew up in the Assemblies of God the church that I grew up in honestly had some of the most loving people the nicest people my home life was Hell on Wheels I had a father who is a raging narcissist and I won't even get into my mother I'll just take my word for her there was no safe haror either direction I went I went to church and the people in church were supportive they were encouraging they were uplifting they were loving never ever did I go to church and feel rejected or feel pushed aside I had a unique experience I know my grandmother told me many years after I became an adult she said honestly CJ stands for Chuck Jr she said honestly CJ you just don't realize how wonderful and unique the church you grew up in was she said we really had a wonderful bunch of people you know it was a very unique body of people and my experience growing up was by no means uh negative that I had a very positive experience that's probably why today my faith is as strong as it is because my experience was positive now after I came out I'm not going to say many years later I'm not going to say folk didn't look at me a little strange but I will say they treated me well even knowing that my circumstance had changed but then I went to Fort Worth at the age of 16 God called me to Fort Worth Texas and I became part of the Riverside Church of God pastored by Brother JT Gillam an old timey old timey Pentecostal Church the lady pil their hair on their head you know and they wore the long sleeves and the long dresses but you know something I saw people come into that church who were prostitutes who were drug addicts who had very severe issues and troubles in their life and not one soul in that church whispered a word about that person mm-m that was the most loving bunch of people I ever saw in my life man I'm going to tell you when that individual made their way to the altar them ladies with their High hair and their long sleeves they got around them and prayed them through until they were delivered from their addiction delivered from their bondage filled with the Holy Ghost and walking in Victory that's the way the folks at Riverside did when I went around the community Riverside is a neighborhood in for worth when I went around the community of Riverside and I told people well I attend Riverside Church of God the first thing I would hear over and over and over and over and over again was oh that's brother gillum's Church my goodness that that is the most lovely loving man I've ever met in in my life if there's anybody who lives what Christianity teaches it's brother Gillum and sister Gillum I heard that Dale over and over again it really warmed my heart that they had that reputation and you know you talk to people about the church and they'd say that is the most loving bunch of people they are the sweetest people I've ever I don't know of any church that is so full of of loving caring people as Riverside is oh there are those who like to get out on stage and they like to announce to the world I'm a Christian but they don't play the role their actions do not support their claim and then there are those few Who come out on stage and they don't have to tell you what role they're playing you can see it Hallelujah you can tell by the way they act you can tell by the way they're conducting themselves anybody who's ever seen cats on Broadway will tell you that those actors and actresses those thespians are so realistic in their portrayal of cats literally I've heard people tell me this said you wouldn't believe said well while you're watching that musical you get it in your head you're looking at cats because those actors and actresses literally they stretch their bodies out and they they do all the movements and all the actions of a cat and they literally after a while your imagination kind of runs and you suddenly are looking at a stage full of cats that can sing no less a fesbian is one who engages in the dramatic arts in other words the fesbian is an actor most people who identify as Christian are anything but actors they tend more often to be couch potatoes who prefer to do nothing they hear the word of God preached and ignore all that they have heard they've read the pages of God's sacred script and then they lay it down having forgotten everything they've read before The Binding has even hit the table but the Lord has called us to be actors those who do not those who have heard or read you know when you see actors get on the platform at the Oscars or at the Tony or at the emys often times you'll hear them say as they receive their award uh it's the writers we have great writers because no actor no matter matter how great they are can take a poorly written part and make it into something great if the writing is good then the actor can certainly bring it to life but if the writing is bad then no matter how good and actor they are the lines are going to fall flat my friend I'm here to tell you today God's given us the script he's told us how we ought to act and how we ought to behave and sadly we got too many people in America today running around saying I'm a Christian look at me I'm a Christian look at me while they're being hateful while they're being homophobic while they're being malicious while they're being mean-spirited while they're being judgmental while they're being critical while they're being condemnatory and none of that is in the script God hasn't called us to act like Christians he's called us to act like Christians say Pastor you just said the same thing no it didn't no it didn't you have one that EXC like they're something they're not and their actions don't even begin to bring out that role in their life I've got family folks I grew up in a fundamentalist assembly at God family on my mother's side I've got family today they're so holy they won't even stay in the same room with me cuz they're just too holy to be in a room with a homo and yet they don't act like Christians but they sure do try to act like a Christian they sure to try to convince you without the actions that they are Christian this is what James was talking about in James 2: 14-20 he said listen you can stand there and say you're something but not have the actions to back it up or you can have the actions to back it up so that you never have to open your mouth and say a thing you don't have to tell anybody you're a Christian they can tell you're a Christian because you're loving you're supportive you're compassionate you're charitable you're kind oh my Lord have mercy do you understand what I'm telling you today mhm I love the men Ministry of encouragement I have spent so many years of my life when I was struggling before I came out in ' 89 I spent so many years of my life in depression and in Despair and struggling constant state of struggle and it was amazing to me how many people around me just kind of they thought the best way to approach this was to act like it wasn't happening you ever feel that way it's like you're struggling and people just aren't even noticing that you're struggling and you're thinking your how on Earth can they not even see that I'm really going through a hard time right now you'll write something on Facebook because you're hurt you'll put something I understand Facebook Facebook I I what I don't understand is how people can't understand Facebook people put things on Facebook because they feel like they have to put a voice to their feelings they have to air out some frustration some hurt some pain some struggle that they're going through it's not about them uh putting their business out in the Public Square yeah that's kind of sort of what they're doing but look beyond what they're doing and understand why they're doing it well I just broke up with so and so I was with them for so many years honey they ain't putting that out there to brag they're not putting that out there cuz they're happy no they're hurting they're having a hard time and yet I'll look at things people are WR and things that people will say and I think to myself good Lord have mercy do these people not understand that what this person needs right now is some encourag enement so I love to encourage I've actually sat down on my computer over the years and I've created hundreds of memes that are designed for any number of different occasions I made some for graduations I made some for a new baby I made some uh for uh uh What uh pets I love when people will share their pet pictures so I actually made some that say I'm an animal lover I appreciate your pet pictures but I've created a number of them to encourage people i' I've got a bunch of them that say I'm praying for you I've got many that I made that say Get Well praying for your recovery I've got some that I created for people who are in recover and who are going through programs like AA and when they share on their page I've been so over 30 days or 90 days or 10 years whatever the case might be I've created meemes that say good for you keep going you can do it why because I know how important encouragement can be I know how much we as human beings crave and need someone to stand behind us and cheer us on you know you don't just see the cheerleaders get out on the ball field and cheer when the team is doing poorly they don't sit in the stands and say well our team's doing real good right now so we'll sit here and wait until they start doing that and then we'll get out there and cheer them on do you hear what I'm telling you no no they get out there throughout the whole game why because encouragement is a necessity every moment of the game I want to tell you if God's people would learn to be encouragers how much better the church would be how much better our world would be if we knew how to Simply encourage one another and stand behind one another I'm going to tell you when I went to Riverside as a teenager that was one of the things that I saw there that blew my mind these people knew how to encourage one another I mean it it was just the most encouraging inspiring uplifting church that I ever witnessed in my life and I'm going to tell you today that's the kind of church I hope to see here one day Church full of people who know how to encourage one another those who know how to do and not merely those who have heard heard or read in Matthew 25:31-46 when the son of man shall come in his glory and all the Holy Angels with him then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory and before him shall be gathered all nations and he shall separate them one from another as the shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats and he shall set the sheep on his right hand and the goats on the left then shall the king say unto them on his right hand Come Ye blessed of my father inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world for I wasn't hungered and ye gave me meat I was thirsty and ye gave me drink I was a stranger and ye took me in naked and ye clothed me I was sick and you visited me I was in prison and he came unto me then shall the righteous answer him saying Lord when saw we thee and hungered and fed thee or thirsty and gave thee drink when saw we thee a stranger and took thee in or naked and clothed thee or when saw we thee sick or in prison and came unto thee and the King shall answer and say unto them verily verily I say unto you in so much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren ye have done it unto me then shall he say also unto them on the right hand depart from me ye cursed into Everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels for I was in hungered and ye gave me no meat I was thirsty Y and he gave me no drink I was a stranger and ye took me not in naked and ye clothed me not sick and in prison and ye visited me not then shall they also answer him saying Lord when saw we the in hungered or a thirst or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison and did not Minister unto thee then shall he answered them saying verily I say unto you in so much as ye did it not to one of the least of these ye did it not to me and these shall go away into Everlasting punishment but the righteous into life eternal God has called us children to be thespian Christians not to get out on stage and declare the part we're supposed to be playing but to get out on stage and live the role my God make the script come to life so that the world can see what God's people are supposed to look like we've got an entire political party in America today that calls itself the Christian party and yet their platform is exactly what I just read to you in terms of who's going to wind up in ever last in fire when I was sick you want nothing to do with me when I was a stranger the word stranger here do you know what that means that literally means an immigrant that's literally what that means and you didn't take me in I was hungry you didn't feed me I was sick you didn't visit me oh no they don't want nothing nothing to do with any of these things oh but they get out on life stage and declare to the world we're Christians please shut up my God the horrible things you're doing to the reputation of Christianity by claiming to be Christians and then turning around and acting like Devils good Lord keep your profession to yourself and let those of us who are at least trying to live this thing mhm let us handle representing what Christianity is supposed to represent I tell them the truth today amen Matthew 21 28-31 but what think ye a certain man had two sons and he came to the first and said Son go work today in my Vineyard he answered and said I will not but afterward he repented and went and he came came to the second and said likewise and he answered and said I go sir and went not whether of them Twain did the will of his father they say unto him the first Jesus saith unto them verily I say unto you that the publicans and the harlets go into the kingdom of God before you what's it about it's about acting like a Christian am I telling the truth it's not about just saying okay Lord I'll do it and then walking out the door and not doing it no no it's all about living the role living the part from The Sermon on the Mount Matthew 5: 37-48 but let your communication be yay yay nay nay for whatsoever is more than these come of evil ye have heard that it hath been said an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth that's what Trump says is his favorite part of the Bible can you believe it but I say unto you that ye resist not evil but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek turn to him the other also and if any man will Soo thee at the law and take away thy coat let him have thy cloak also and whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile go with him Twain or two give to him that ask thee and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away ye have heard that it hath been said Thou shalt love thy neighbor and hate thine enemy but I say unto you love your enemies bless them that curse you to do good to them that hate you and pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you that ye may be the children of your father which is in heaven for he maketh his son to rise on the evil and on the good and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust for if ye love them which love you what reward have ye do not even the publicans the same and if you salute your brethren only what do ye more than others do not even the publicans do so be ye therefore

The Lives of the Queens of England Volume 2 by Agnes STRICKLAND Part 2 Audio Book
section 17 of lives of the queens of England volume 2. this is a LibriVox recording all LibriVox recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org recording by Anne boulay lives of the queens of England Volume 2 by Agnes and Elizabeth Strickland Isabella of France Chapter 2 part 3. on the night of the 22nd of September 1327 exactly a 12 month after the return of the queen to England the murder of her unfortunate husband was perpetrated with circumstances of the greatest horror no outward marks of violence were perceptible on his person when the body was exposed to public view in gloucester's Cathedral but the rigid and distorted lines of the face bore evidence of the agonies he had undergone and it is reported that his cries have been heard at a considerable distance from the castle where this Barbara is registered was committed many a one woke as the narrator and prayed to God for the harmless Soul which that night was departing in torture the public indignation in that part of the country was so greatly excited against the infamous instruments of the queen and Mortimer that they were feigned to make their escape Beyond Seas to avoid the Vengeance of the people The Murder King was interred without funeral pop in Gloucester Cathedral and Isabella endeavored by the marriage festivities of her son and his young Queen to dissipate the general Gloom which the suspicious circumstances attending the death of her unhappy consort had occasioned but so Universal was the feeling of disgust which the conduct of the queen and her favorite Mortimer excited that nothing but the despotism she had succeeded in establishing enabled her to keep possession of her usurped power the pacification with Scotland gave great offense to the public because Isabella Bartered for twenty thousand pounds the claims of the king of England over Scotland and Mortimer appropriated the money to his own use by the same treaty they restore the regalia of Scotland to their rightful owners the English were indignant that in this regalia was comprised the famous black cross of Saint Margaret which had been one of the crown jewels of their Anglo-Saxon Kings still more were they enraged that without sanction of parliament the queen concluded a marriage between the princess Joanna an infant five years old and David Bruce the heir of Scotland who was about two years older she accompanied her young daughter to Berwick attended by Mortimer and in their presence the Royal children were married at that town July 12 1328. it was observed that the two brothers of the late King Thomas of Brotherton and Edmund Earl of Kent and Isabella's own Uncle the Earl of Lancaster with some other magnates had withdrawn themselves from the National Council in utter indignation at the late proceedings of the queen and the insolence of her favorite Mortimer they perceived too late that they had been made the tools of an Artful ambitious and vindictive woman who under the pretense of reforming the abuses of her husband's government had usurped the Sovereign Authority and in one year committed more crimes than the late King and his unpopular ministers together had perpetrated during the 20 years of his Reign moreover the barbarous persecution and cruel death of their late Sovereign made the princes recoil with horror at the idea of there having been in some measure accomplices in the guilt of the queen Mortimer had even had the audacity when Parliament met at Salisbury October 16. to enter the town at the head of an army and bursting into the room where the prelates were assembled forbade them under Peril of life in limb to oppose his interests he then seized on the young king and queen and carried them off to Winchester and far from paying any regard to the Earl of Lancaster's complaints of the infringement of his office of Guardian of the king's person he marched to Leicester and plundered his domain there Isabella's cruelty her hypocrisy and the unnatural manner in which she rendered the interests of the young king her son subservient to the aggrandizement of her ferocious Paramore Mortimer excited the indignation of all classes and a strong party was organized under the auspices of the plantagenet princes for the delivering of the nation from the tyranny of this modern Samira Miss the Earl of Lancaster who was by this time fully aware of the disposition of his vindictive kinswoman perceived that he was intended for her next victim on which he with the brothers of the late King and their Confederates took up arms and put forth a Manifesto containing eight articles all alarming to the guilty Queen and Mortimer especially the first clause which threatened inquiry into the unlawful augmentations of her dower and the fifth regarding the late King's death the Queen Mother aware of the impossibility of meeting such inquiries before Parliament urged the young king to attack the malcontents assuring him that the object of his uncle was to deprive him of the throne the interference of the Archbishop of Canterbury prevented another civil war and through his exertions a hollow pacification was affected between Isabella and the princes it was not however in the nature of this princess to forgive any offense that had ever been offered to her and it is to be observed that her enmity had hitherto always proved fatal to every person who had been so unfortunate as to incur her ill will with the wariness of a cat she now examined the characteristic qualities of the members of the royal family whom she determined to attack separately since she had found them too strong to engage collectively she commenced with the Earl of Kent who had ever since the death of the king his brother suffered the greatest remorse for the part he had taken in the late Revolution Isabella being aware of his State of Mind caused it to be insinuated to him that the late Sovereign his brother was not dead but a prisoner within the walls of korf Castle a friar whom the Earl employed to inquire into the truth of this Tale on finding that everyone in that neighborhood confidently believed that the unfortunate Edward II was living under very close restraint in the castle Endeavor to obtain access to this mysterious captive he was shown at a distance a person sitting at table whose air and figure greatly resembled that of the deceased King whom indeed he was meant to person Aid the Earl of Kent anxious to make reparation to his Royal brother for the injuries he had done him hasten to korf Castle and boldly demanded of the governor to be conducted to the apartment of Sir Edward of Karen arvon his brother the governor did not deny that King Edward was in the castle but protested the impossibility of Permitting anyone to see him the Earl then prevailed on him to take charge of a letter for his illustrious prisoner this letter was immediately conveyed to Queen Isabella and used by her as a pretense for the arrest of the deluded Prince this was done at Winchester where the parliament was then assembled Earl Edmond was impeached of high treason before the piers his own letter was the chief evidence produced against him together with his confession in which he acknowledged that a certain Friar preacher of London told him he had conjured up a spirit who assured him that his brother Edward was still alive also that sir Ingram Behringer brought him a letter from the Lord zouche requesting his assistance in the restoration of his late Sovereign for this impossible treason he was sentenced to lose his head his arraignment took place on Sunday March 13 1329 Isabella Sundays being no holidays and he was condemned to die on the morrow all that day says the chroniclers the King was so beset by the queen his mother and the Earl of March that it was impossible for him to make any efforts to preserve his uncle from the cruel fate to which he had been so unjustly doomed this murder which was designed by Isabella as an intimidation to the princes of the blood Royal had the effect of increasing the abhorrence in which she was now held throughout the kingdom the queen presented mortimer's son Jeffrey grants of the principal part of the Estates of the princely victim the death of Charles label without mail issue having left Isabella the sole surviving child of Philip LaBelle her eldest son Edward III considered that he had the best claim to the sovereignty of France the twelve Piers of France decided otherwise and gave first the Regency and then on the birth of the posthumous daughter of Charles LaBelle the throne to Philip of valois the cousin of their late King Edward was eager to assert his claim as the nephew of that Monarch and the grandson of Philip LaBelle but his mother deceived by overtures from France for a double marriage between her daughter Eleanor and the era valwa and her second son and Philip's daughter not only prevented him from asserting his own claims but compelled him sorely against his will to acknowledge those of his rival by performing Amish for the provinces held of the French crown Edward returned from his last conference with King Philip at amends out of humor with himself and still more so with his mother the evil odor in which Isabella's reputation was generally held both at home and abroad though perhaps concealed from him in his own Court where he was as yet but a state puppet surrounded by her creatures was conveyed to him through a variety of channels as soon as he was beyond the limits of her you search Authority The Pride the cruelty and insolence of Mortimer were represented To The King by his Faithful Friends with other circumstances tending to convince him of the infamy of the queen mother's connection with that favorite Edward was sensibly touched when informed of these things and determined no longer to be acquiescent witness of his mother's dishonor the parliament was summoned to meet at Nottingham a fortnight after Michael Miss and the youthful Sovereign considered that it would be a favorable time for the arrest of his mother's Paramore when all the Barons of England were assembled around him in support of his Royal Authority Edward had intended to take up his Abode at Nottingham Castle one of his own Royal palaces but Isabella forestalling his design had already established herself there with Mortimer and his strong guard of armed followers Isabella had used the precaution of ordering the keys of the castle to be brought to her and at night for greater security she placed them under her pillow the particulars of this most interesting crisis are best related in the words of the Lively chronicler from whom Stowe has taken his graphic Narrative of the arrest of the queen and her lover there was a parliament where Roger Mortimer was in such Glory and Honor that he was without all comparison no man Durst named him other than the Earl of March and a greater route of men waited at his heels than on the king's person he would suffer the king to rise to him and would walk with him equally step by step and cheek by cheek never preferring the king but would go foremost himself with his officers he greatly rebuked the Earl of Lancaster cousin to the king for that without his consent he appointed certain noblemen to lodgings in the town asking who made him so bold to take up his lodgings close to the queen with which words the Constable being greatly feared alarmed appointed lodgings for the Earl of Lancaster a full mile out of the town where was lodged John Bohan the Earl of Hereford Lord High Constable of England by which means a great contention arose among the noblemen and the common people who called Roger Mortimer the Queen's Paragon and the King's master who destroys the king's blood and usurfs the Regal Majesty all this troubled the king's friends and William Montague and others Drew to them Robert de Holland keeper of Nottingham Castle unto whom all secret corners of the same were known then on a certain night the king lying without the castle both he and his friends were brought by Torchlight through a secret way underground beginning far from the castle till they came even to the Queen's chamber which they by chance found open they being armed with naked swords in their hands went forwards leaving the king armed without the chamber door lest his mother should Us by him they entered in slew Sir Hugh terpington who resisted them and to John Neville they gave a deadly wound from thence they went to the queen other whom they found with the Earl of March just ready to go to bed and having seized the said Earl they led him into the Hall the queen following crying out fell fills eyes petite gentle Mortimer for she knew her son was there though she saw him not she likewise entreated Montague and his people to do no harm to the person of Mortimer because he was a worthy Knight her dear friend and well-beloved cousin no reply was made to her intercession and Mortimer was hurried away the castle locked on the queen and all her effects sealed up the next morning Roger Mortimer and his friends were LED prisoners towards London as soon as they appeared the populace of Nottingham and the Nobles of the king's party set up a tremendous shout the Earl of Lancaster who was at that time blind joining in the outcry and making violent escalations for Joy on his arrival in London Mortimer was for a few hours committed to the tower previous to his summary execution freusard after relating very briefly the execution of the Earl of Kent which he attributes to the Queen Mother and Mortimer proceeds to say not long after great infamy fell upon the Queen Mother whether with just cause or not I am ignorant but in this the Lord Mortimer was inculpated the king then ordered him to be arrested and brought to London and before him and a very great number of the Barons and Nobles of the realm a Night by The King's Command recited the Deeds of the Lord Mortimer from a declaration he held in his hand everyone was then asked by way of counsel what sentence should be given judgment was soon given for each had perfect knowledge of the facts from good report and information they replied to the king's question that he ought to suffer the same death as Sir Hugh de Spencer the younger which sentence had neither delay nor Mercy this was instantly carried into effect without waiting to hear what the accused had to say in his own vindication Sir Simon Burford and John Deverell who were taken in the Queen's anti-chamber at Nottingham Castle earnestly desired to disclose the particulars of Edward II's murder but were not permitted to disburden their consciences of their guilty knowledge lest they should too deeply implicate the Queen Mother Mortimer was the first person executed at tyburn which was then known by the name of Elms Burford and devarell were executed with him his body hung on the Gallows at tyburn two days and nights by the Especial order of the king it was then taken down and buried in the greyfriars church within Newgate of which Queen Isabella was a benefactor is Abella was spared the ignominy of a public trial through the intercession of the Pope John the 22nd who wrote to the young king exhorting him not to expose his mother's shame after this Edward attributed all her crimes to the evil influence of Mortimer as may be seen in the Royal declaration to Parliament of the reasons which induced him to inflict the punishment of death on that great state criminal in the Ninth Article of this posthumous arraignment it is set forth that the said Roger falsely and maliciously so Discord between the father of our Lord the king and the queen His companion making her believe that if she came near her husband he would point out her or murder her in some other manner wherefore by this cause and by other subtleties the said Queen remained absent from her said Lord to the great dishonor of the king and of the said Queen his mother and great damage perhaps of the whole nation hereafter which God avert one of the first acts of the emancipated Monarch after the Gallant achievement by which he had rendered himself master of his own realm was to strip the Queen Mother of the unconscionable dower to which he had helped herself and to reduce her income to one thousand pounds a year it was also judged expedient by his counsel to confine her to one of the royal fortresses at some distance from the Metropolis lest by her intriguing disposition she should excite fresh troubles in the realm frasart after relating the particulars of mortimer's death adds the king soon after by the advice of his counsel ordered his mother to be confined in a goodly castle and gave her plenty of ladies to wait upon her as well as Knights and Squires of Honor he made her a handsome allowance to keep and maintain the state to which she had been accustomed but forbade her ever to go out or show herself abroad except at certain times and when any shows were exhibited in the court of the castle Castle rising in Norfolk was the place where Queen Isabella was destined to spend the long years of her widowhood it had belonged to the albinis from whom it passed to the Lords of Mount alt the Widow of the last Baron of that line had surrendered it to Queen Isabella during her Regency for an annuity of 400 pounds per annum it was a noble pile built in 1176 by William Albini husband to Queen at Alicia it was constructed in the manner of Norwich Castle on a bold Eminence surrounded by a high bank and deep valum the walls were three yards thick the keep was a large Square Tower encompassed with a deep ditch and bold Rampart on which was a strong wall with three towers enough remains to show that castle Rising must have been a most formidable if not impregnable Fortress freysard says the queen passed her time there meekly by which our readers are to understand that she neither devise plots nor treasons against the government of her illustrious son Edward III and gave no further cause for public scandal more than one ancient historian hints that during her long confinement Isabella was afflicted with occasional fits of derangement it is asserted that these aberrations commenced in a violent access of Madness which seized her while the body of Mortimer hung on the Gallows her agonies were so severe that among the Common People the report prevailed for some months that she died at the time the body was taken down these Traditions led us to conclude that for many months the populace did not know what had become of her her retired life unconnected with conventional vows must have strengthened the reports of her derangement which was attributed to the horrors of conscience she was in her sixth and 30th year when her seclusion at Castle Rising commenced the king her son generally when in England visited her twice or Thrice a year and never permitted anyone to name her in his presence other than with the greatest respect it is to be observed at Edwards Council in regard to the petitions of certain individuals for the recovery of money due to them during her government are by him referred to the advice of Queen Isabella her name is carefully guarded from all reproached in the roles of parliament which nevertheless abound in disputes relative to her Regency there is one petition from the poor Legions of the forest of maccles field to King Edward declaring that Madam his mother holds the forest as her Heritage and yet the bailiff of mackles field kills her Venison and destroys her wood Isabella is not named as Queen but only as Madame the King's mother the king replies let this petition be shown to the queen that her advice may be learned thereon during the first two years of Isabella's Residence at Castle Rising her seclusion appears most rigorous but in 1332 from various notations the fact may be gathered that her condition was ameliorated that year King Edward declared that as his dearest mother had simply and spontaneously surrendered her dower into his hands he has assigned her divers other castles and lands to the amount of twenty thousand pounds the same year this Tower was settled she was permitted to make a pilgrimage to Lady Shrine of Walsingham not far from her residence in Norfolk this is evidence from the ancient Latin records of the corporation of Lynn which is in the neighborhood of Castle Rising there is an entry of 20 Shillings for bread sent to Isabella queen Dowager when she came from Walzem also four pounds for a cask of wine three pounds 18 Shillings six pence for a piece of wax and two pounds for barley also three Shillings for the carriage of these purchases King Edward restored to his mother two years afterwards the revenues upon few and Montreal which were originally the gift of her murder Lord the same year 1334 her son John of eltham died in the bloom of life and her daughter Eleanor was married to the Duke of gal dress Edward III likewise visited his mother at risings the records of Lynn returned this notice dated 1334 the Queen Isabella sent her precept to the mayor to provide her eight Carpenters to make preparations for the king's visit in 1337 Edward III again made some stay at Castle Rising with his mother and Adam de riffum of Lynn sent him a present a wine on this occasion once only we have evidence that Isabella visited the Metropolis this was in the 12th year of her son's Reign when she is witness to the delivery of the Great Seal in its purse by King Edward to Robert day berghers in the grand chamber of the bishop of Winchester's Palace in South wark Parliament granted to Edward III and eight of 30 000 sacks of wool and by writ dated February 27 1343 the Barons of the ex-checker were forbidden to Levy any part from the lands and manners of the queen mother because it was unreasonable that a person exempt and not summoned to the parliament should be burdened with AIDS granted by Parliament the same year Isabella received another visit from the King her son on this occasion the Lynn records note that 11 pounds 13 Shillings 10 pence was expended for meat sent to Our Lady Queen Isabella there is an item for four pounds 16 Shillings one pence paid by the corporation for a present sent to the household of Our Lord the king at thorndynes at his first coming to rising and three Pence for a horse sent by a messenger to Rising the corporation is also answerable for 12 Pence given to William of lakenham the Falcon Bearer at risings four Shillings three Pence given to the messengers and minstrels of Queen Isabella two Shillings eight Pence for wines sent to the Queen's maid and twelve Pence a largest for the Earl of suffixes minstrels barreled sturgeon was a favorite food at the Queen's table and it was certainly very costly when compared with the price of other viennes the corporation of Lynn the same year sent Gifts of a pipe of wine and a barrel of sturgeon costing together nine pounds 12 Shillings 9 Pence to their Lady Queen Isabella and moreover page on the butcher money for conveying the said gifts to Castle Rising they sent her her Treasurer and sent a skull Gifts of wine that cost 40 Pence and presented 12 shillings to John Day Winsor and other men of the King's family win at Rising besides two pence given to a servant looking for stray horses from the castle likewise 40 Pence given to the steward of rising when he came to obtain horses for use of King Edward a barrel of sturgeon costs as much as two pounds 15 Shillings the men of Lynn note that they paid 11 pounds for four barrels sent at different times as gifts to the queen at Castle rising and 20 Shillings for two quarter barrels of sturgeon sent by her servant Perot the supply of herrings as gifts from the men of Lynn amounted to six pounds and they sent her a hundred and three quarters of wax at a cost of four pounds 16 Shillings one pence in the 18th year of his Reign King Edward dates several letters to the pope from Castle Rising a curious plan for annoyance of king Edward was devised in the year 1348 by the French monarch who proposes to make the queen Dowager of France and Isabella the mediatricies of a piece they were to meet between Calais and balloon but Edward was too wise to fall into the snare of attracting public attention to the guilty integrated mother from whom his claims to the throne of France were derived Isabella was not suffered to take any part in the negotiation the succeeding documents proved that the treaty was completed by the Duke of Lancaster and the count of you in the 31st year of his Reign King Edward granted safe conduct to William de lathe to wait on Queen Isabella at her castle of rising he coming from Scotland probably with news from her daughter Queen Joanna who was then very sick this person was physician to the Queen of Scotland the next year Isabella died at Castle Rising August 22nd 1358 age 63. she chose the Church of gray Friars where the mangle remains of her paramour Mortimer had been buried 8 and 20 years previously for the place of her interment and carrying her characteristic hypocrisy even to the Grave she was buried with the heart of her murdered husband on her breast King Edward gave his mother a pompa's funeral and issued a precept to the sheriffs of London in Middlesex November 20th to cleanse the streets from dirt and all impurities and to gravel Bishops Gate Street and aldgate against the coming of the body of his dearest mother Queen Isabella and directs the officers of his ex-chequer to distribute nine pounds for that purpose Isabella was interred in the choir of the gray Friars within Newgate and had a fine Alabaster tomb erected to her memory she had given 62 pounds towards the building of this church it was usual for persons buried in the gray Friars to be wrapped in the Garment of the order as a security against the attacks of the fowl fiend Queen Isabella was buried in that garment and few stood in more need of such protection according to Bloomfield local traditional asserts that Queen Isabella lies buried in Castle Rising Church and that all the procession to the gray Friars in London was but an anti-pageant in confirmation of this assertion they point out a simple gray stone with its inscription deeply cut Isabella Regina antiquaries however are of opinion that this Stone covers the grave of one of the officers or ladies who died in her service at Castle Rising but it is also possible that she might have bequeathed her heart to her Parish church and that this inscription made to note the spot where it was interred and Effigy of Isabella is to be seen in the most Exquisite preservation among the figures which Adorn the tomb of her son John of eltham at Westminster Abbey it is the third from the right when the examiner stands with his back to Saint Edwards Chapel the workmanship of this and the other statues of John of eltham's Kindred is of the most delicate kind the easiness of the attitudes United with minute attention to details denote an artist of superior genius the Effigies are all cast in bronze and the row opposite to Saint Edward's Chapel are so well secured from the mischievous assaults of Abby to Predators by the grill of thick iron which parts the tomb from the passage that they are in the same state as when they came from the hands of the artist first stands the mother of Isabella the queen of France and Navarre she exactly resembles her portrait engraved in Mount fakhan then stands the Effigy Of Isabella's father Philip LaBelle next is given Isabella herself her head is remarkably Broad and low and she has considerable breath over the cheekbones she is very like her mother but her features are pretty with a laughing expression the Effigy is identified as hers by the Garb of Royal widowhood she wears a crown on the top of her Hood her veil hangs on each side of her face the Widow's Barb appears half covering her chin and a scepter is in her hand such was certainly her dress at Castle rising at the death of her son Prince John in 1334 and such must have been her costume during the remainder of her life since widows in those times wore the dress of mourning all their lives unless they found second husbands the Effigy Of Her murdered Lord Edward II stands next hers it is extremely like that on his tomb at Gloucester Isabella's virtuous daughter Joanna Queen of Scotland the faithful and devoted consort of the unfortunate David Bruce survived her mother only a few days and was interred in the castle of the gray Friars within new gates some authors assert that on the same day London witnessed the solemn pageant of the entrance of the funeral procession of the two queens one from the eastern and the other from the Northern Road and that entering the church by opposite doors the Royal buyers met at the high altar after a separation of 30 years the evil mother and the holy daughter were United in the same burial Rite end of section 17. section 18 of lies of the

of the queens of England Volume 2 by Agnes and Elizabeth Strickland Philippa of Hano chapter 1 part 1. the happy Union of the illustrious Philippa with her Thrice renowned Lord have been previously cemented by Mutual preference manifested in the first sweet Springtime of existence when Prince Edward took Refuge with his mother Queen Isabella at the court of Hano count William of Hano had at that time four daughters says freusart these were Margaret Philippa Joanna and Isabelle the Young Prince during his mother's residence in hey no paid more court and attention to Philippa than any of the others the young lady also conversed with him more frequently and sought his company oftener than any of her sisters this was in 1326 when Prince Edward was in his 15th year and the lady Philippa a few months younger she possessed some Flemish Beauty being tall in stature and adorned with a brilliant complexion for which the women of that country are celebrated the poet of her time has commemorated her rosiate Hue and Beauty bright and we can well imagine though philippa's matron charms became a little too exuberant and afterlife that as a sweet-tempered Flemish girl in her 15th year her early bloom was very lovely the youthful lovers after residing together in the Palace of the count of hey no at valencians for about a fortnight we're separated Edward embarked with his mother and John of hey no on the dangerous expedition of invading his unfortunate father's Kingdom while his beloved was left in a state of uncertainty whether the exigencies of the states and the Caprice of relatives would ultimately permit to be joined the hands of those whose Hearts had already elected each other although a decided affection subsisted between young Edward and Philippa it was not considered in accordance with the Royal etiquette of that era for the era of England to acknowledge that he had disposed of his heart without the consent of his Parliament and counsel Queen Isabella undertook the arrangement of this affair and soon led the public authorities to the decision that a daughter of account of Hano would be the most desirable Alliance for her son but even as late as the 5th of August 1327 the particular daughter of that family was not pointed out in the document requesting the dispensation of the Pope the words are to marry a daughter of that nobleman William count of hey no Holland and Zealand and Lord of Friesland but the name of Philippa was not once mentioned throughout the letter thus the lovers remain seven months after the coronation of Edward in a state of suspense the council at last Gravely decided that Adam orleton the notorious Bishop of Herford should visit the court of Hano and choose among the daughters of the count the young lady who seemed most worthy to be the queen of England as the choice of the bishop and King fell on Philippa the young king had certainly informed Adam orleton in confidence which princess among the fair Sisterhood was the elected Lady of his heart the proceedings of the bishop were thus narrated by Our Last rhyming chronicler Harding he sent forth then to he know for a wife a bishop and other Lord's temporal among themselves our Lords for high Prudence of the bishop ask counsel in sentence which daughter of the five should be our Queen who counseled thus with sad advisement we will have her with ferrous form Irene to which they all accorded with one mind and chose Philippa that was full feminine as the wise Bishop did determine but then among themselves they laughed I those Lords then said their Bishop judge folsooth the beauty of a lady shortly after the young King Edward completed his 16th year says freuchart his Council sent a bishop two nights baronettes and two able clerks to Sir John of Hano to beg of him to assist the young king of England in his suit to one of his nieces since the young king would love her more dearly than any other lady on his account Sir John feasted and paid many honors to these Messengers he took them to valencians where his brother the count of hey no gave them such Sumptuous entertainments as would be tiresome to relate he most willingly complied with their requests if the pope and holy church had no objection two of the knights and some Abel clerks were dispatched to Avignon for without the Pope's dispensation it could not be done on account of their near relationship for their two mothers were cousins German as soon as they came to Avignon the pope and college consented most ignitedly on their return to valencians immediate preparations were made for the dress and equippage of a lady who was considered worthy to be the queen of England the king then at Nottingham empowered the bishop of Litchfield and Coventry on the 8th of October 1327 to conclude his marriage with a noble damsel Philippa of hey no he likewise charges his beloved Bartholomew Des berghurst Constable of Dover to receive and welcome into his kingdom that Noble person William count of hey no with the illustrious damsel Philippa his daughter and the familiars of the said count in damsel and he charges all in singular his nobility and people of the counties through which the count damsel and familiars may pass to do them honor and give them needful Aid it was necessary for the lady Philippa and her escort to travel across England to meet the Royal bridegroom who was then performing his warlike novitiate on the Scottish border under the auspices of his mother and Mortimer against the great Robert Bruce Philippa was married at valencian's by procuration soon after the date of this instrument she embarked for England at weisen landed at Dover with all her sweets and arrived in London December 23 1327 with the retinue and display of magnificence in accordance with the great wealth of her country she was escorted by her uncle John of Hano and not by her father as was expected a solemn procession of the clergy introduced her into the City and she was presented by the Lord mayor and Alderman of London with a service of plate worth 300 pounds as a marriage gift a benefaction prompted most likely by the Gratitude of the citizens for a treaty of Commerce established between England and the low countries in the preceding summer when these nuptials were first publicly agitated the King was still with his army in the North York being his headquarters and though London was in an uproarious state of rejoicing at her arrival the Royal bride left it immediately to meet her Lord but there were feastings and Sumptuous entertainments in London for three weeks after her Landing the hands of Edward and Philippa were United at York January 24th 1328. the magnificence of the espousals was heightened by the grand entry of a hundred of the principal nobility of Scotland who had arrived in order to conclude a lasting peace with England cemented by the marriage of the king's little sister Joanna the Parliament and Royal Council were likewise convened at York and the flower of the English nobility then in arms were assembled around the young king and his bride the Royal pair kept Easter at York and after the final piece was Scotland they returned Southward from Lincoln to Northampton and finally settled in June at the beautiful Summer Palace of Woodstock which seems the principal Abiding Place of Philippa while her young husband was yet under the tutelage of Mortimer and the Queen Mother a dead silence is kept in all the public documents regarding the amount of philippa's portion for reasons good since the queen mother had already spent it as for the usual dower of the queens of England the whole of its lands were possessed by the queen mother but by a deed executed at Northampton May 5th the king says the venerable father Roger Bishop of Litchfield and Coventry had promised that fifteen thousand pounds per annum of lands should be settled on her Isabella provided so well for herself and her daughter-in-law that she left her son The Sovereign of England nearly penniless after assisting at the marriage of his niece Sir John of Hano returned to his native country Laden with jewels in Rich presence few of the he knowers who had escorted her to England stayed with Queen Philippa but among those who remain was a youth named sir want to let de mauni whose office was to carve for her the coronation of the young Queen did not take place till more than two years after her marriage the king from his Palace at eltham issued a summons dated the 28th of February 1330. for his beloved and faithful Bartholomew Des Berg Hirsch to appear with his Barons of the Cinque ports to do their customary duties at the coronation of his dearest Queen Philippa which takes place if God be propitious the Sunday next to the feast of Saint Peter in the Cathedral of Westminster it took place on that day with no particular Splendor for the rapacity of Isabella and Mortimer had absorbed all the funds provided to support the Dignity of the crown but the period of their sway Drew near its close the Young Lion of England had already manifested signs of disdain at the ignoble restraint in which he was held Parliament was summoned that spring at Woodstock wither Philippa and her royal Lord had retired after the coronation a singular document is dated from thence the succeeding April in which the king informs his Treasurer that his faithful and beloved Robert de veree being Earl of Oxford was hereditary Chamberlain to the queens of England at all coronations the ancestors of the Earl had officiated in the same capacity and that in consequence he claimed the bed in which the queen had slept her shoes and three silver basins one in which she washed her head and two others in which she washed her hands the king desires that the Earl May freely receive the basins and the shoes but as for the bed the treasure is to pay the Earl Chamberlain a hundred marks as a compensation for his claim thereon while the young king was yet under the Dominion of his unworthy mother his consort Philippa gave birth to their firstborn afterwards the celebrated hero Edward surname the black prince he first saw the light at the palace of Woodstock June 15 1330. the great beauty of this infant his size and the firm texture of his limbs filled everyone with admiration who saw him like that renowned Queen region of France Blanche of Castile mother of Saint Louis Philippa chose to nourish her babe at her own bosom it is well known that the portraits of the young Philippa and her princely boy form the favorite models for the Virgin child at that era in order to celebrate the birth of the era of England a grand tournament was proclaimed at London Philippa and all the female nobility were invited to be present thirteen Knights were engaged on each side and the tournament was held in Chief side between Wood Street and Queen Street the highway was covered with sand to prevent the horse's feet from slipping and a grand temporary Tower was erected made of boarding filled with seats for the accommodation of the queen and her ladies but scarcely had this Fair company entered the tower when the scaffolding suddenly gave way and all present fell to the ground with the queen though no one was injured all were terribly frightened and great confusion ensued when the young king saw the Peril of his wife he flew into a tempest of rage and vowed that the careless Carpenters who had constructed the building should instantly be put to death whether he would thus far have stretched the prerogative of an English Sovereign can never be own for his Angelic partner scarcely recovered from the terror of her fall threw herself on her knees before the incense King and so effectually pleaded for the pardon of the poor men that Edward became pacified and forgave them in the decline of the Year 1330 Edward III shook off the restraints imposed upon him by his unworthy mother and her ferocious paramour he executed Justice on the great criminal Mortimer in the summary and Hasty way in which he was always inclined to act when under the impulse of passion and at a distance from his Queen no one can wonder that he was impatient to destroy the murderer of his father and of his uncle still this eagerness to execute sudden Vengeance under the influence of Rage whether justly or unjustly excited is a trait in the character of this Mighty Sovereign which appears in his Youth and which it is necessary to point out in order to develop the beautiful and nearly perfect character of his Queen no sooner were the Reigns of government in the hands of the young king then he vigorously exerted himself for the Reformation of the abuses for which the administration of Mortimer was Infamous many excellent laws were made and others revived to the great satisfaction of the English people but Above All Things the king had the wisdom to provide a profitable occupation for the active energies of his people blessed be the memory of king Edward III and Philippa of Hano his Queen who first invented clothes says a monastic chronicler start not gentle reader the English War closed before the time of this excellent Queen The Grateful mug by this invocation merely means to imply that by her advice the English first manufactured cloth Philippa young as she was well remembered the sources of prosperity which enriched her own country she established a manufacturing Colony at Norwich in the year 1335 but the first steps towards this good work were commenced so early as the 3rd of July 1331 within a few months of the Assumption of Power by the youthful King a letter so dated from Lincoln is addressed to John Campo Flanders a cloth Weaver in wool in which he is informed that if he will come to England with the servants and apprentices of his mystery and with his goods and shadows and with any Dyers and Fullers who may be inclined willingly to accompany him Beyond seas and exercise their mysteries in the Kingdom of England they shall have letters of protection and assistance in their settlement Philippa occasionally visited Kemp and the rest of her colony in Norwich nor did she disdain to blend all the magnificence of chivalry with her patronage of the productive Arts like a beneficent Queen of the hive she cherished and protected the working bees at a period of her life which in common characters is considered girlhood she had enriched one of the cities of her Realm by her statistical wisdom there was wisdom likewise in the grand tournament she held at Norwich which might be considered as exhibition showing the citizens how well in time of need they could be protected by a gallant nobility these festivals display the defensive class and the productive class in admirable Union and beneficial intercourse while the example of the queen promoted mutual respect between them Edward III did not often take part in these visits to Norwich which were generally paid by the queen while her husband spent some days with his guilty and miserable mother in Castle rising in Norfolk a strong proof that he did not consider Isabella a fit companion for his Philippa it is likely that the establishment of the Flemish artists in England had some connection with the visit that Gina valois Countess of Hano paid to her royal daughter in the Autumn of 1331. the mother of Philippa was a wise and good woman who loved peace and promoted the peaceful Arts during her sojourn in England she further strengthened The Beneficial alliance between England and the low countries by negotiating a marriage between the King's sister eleanora and the Duke of gildres which was soon after celebrated end of section 18. section 19 of lives of the queens of England vol 2.

2 by Agnes and Elizabeth Strickland Philippa of Hano chapter 1 part 2. Edward III commenced a furious war on Scotland in 1333. his faithful Queen followed his campaign but while the king laid Siege to Berwick Philippa was in some danger at bamborough Castle where she resided that summer for Douglas the Valiant guardian of his young king turned the tables on the English Invader and made a force march to lay sphere Siege to bamborough hoping that Edward alarmed at the danger of his Queen would relinquish Berwick and fly to her assistance but Edward Knew Too Well the strength of king aina's castle Broad and high and the firm mind of his Philippa to Swerve from his designs on Berwick yet The Temper of Edward was certainly aggravated into ferociousness by the attempt to capture his Queen and he was led by sudden passion into the cruel murder of the two young seatons these unfortunate youths were the sons of the governor of Berwick either given by him as hostages to Edward III for the performance of certain terms of surrender or what was still worse were prisoners put to death because their father would not surrender his Trust either way the Act was atrocious perhaps it would have been prevented if the just and gracious Philippa had been by the side of her incense Lord but Philippa was closely besieged in bamborough and her danger exasperated her husband into an act really worse than any performed by his Stern Grand sire Edward the first the king knew that Douglas was no trifler in any work he took in hand he therefore resolved by a desperate blow to take Berwick and March to relieve his Queen from the attacks of the Scottish Regent he certainly gained Berwick from the stunned and paralyzed father but by the murder of the hapless youths he forever stained his chivalric name Douglas and Edward joined battle not far from Berwick soon after and the Scots were overpowered at the disastrous Battle of haladin Hill Edward with his Queen afterwards triumphantly entered Berwick which has ever since remained annexed to the English crown Edward and Philippa were in England during the winter of 1334. at the palace of Woodstock on February the 5th the queen brought into the world Elizabeth likewise called Isabella the Princess Royal the queen undertook another campaign in the succeeding spring that year her father sent King Edward a present of a rich helmet made of gold and set with precious stones with array monstrance against wasting his strength in Scotland where there was no plunder to be got when the same expense would prosecute his claims on France the queen this winter became the mother of a second princess named Joanna Philippa followed her Lord to a third Northern campaign her second son William of Hatfield was born in a village in Yorkshire in the winter of 1336 this infant lived but a few weeks in the absence of Edward the scotch war was prosecuted by his only brother John Earl of Cornwall with great cruelty this young prince died at Perth October the 5th of a wound which he got in his ferocious attack unless mahago when Philippa resided in the north of England a circumstance occurred which is an amusing instance of monastic etiquette King Edward had returned from Scotland and advanced as far as Durham where he established his lodging in Saint cuthbert's Priory near the castle the queen traveled from York to meet and welcome him she sucked in The Priory and thinking it was no offense retired to pass the knight in her husband's apartment scarcely had she undressed when the afraided monks came to the door empathetically remonstrated against the infringement of the rules of their order intimating that their holy Patron Saint Cuthbert who during his life very sedulously asked the company of the fair sex and would be direfully offended if one of them slept beneath the roof of his Convent however High her rank might be the pie is Philippa distressed at the idea of unwittingly offending Saint Cuthbert immediately Rose from the bed in haste fled in her night dress to the castle which was fortunately close by and passed the night there by herself the gout and other maladies put an end to the existence of count William of hey no soon after he had formed a league against France with King Edward and with the wealthy father of his Queen Edward lost the liberal supplies with which he carried on his Warfare the English people chose always to be at War but they expected their monarchs to find the cost out of their private revenues and feudal dues which were certainly not sufficient for the purpose Edward was reduced to extreme poverty even in the commencement of his long war and obliged upon his Queen's Crown at cologne for 2 500 pounds in the year 1339. soon after the English people submitted not to attacks on wool but attacks of wool and subscribed 30 000 packs of that commodity which being sent down the Rhine to Cologne redeemed philippa's best Crown from thralldom during the whole of this Reign the crown jewels were seldom out of Pawn notwithstanding the wealth that the infant manufacturer of cloth was already drawn to the coasts of England the prosperity that the Queen's colony of Flemish artists had brought to Norwich had been felt so early as 1336 when Philippa paid that City a visit during her husband's progress to Castle Rising she was received by The Grateful citizens with all the honors due to a public manufacturers as Vicar of the Empire and head of the Confederate League of Germany Edward III had his headquarters during several of the Flemish campaigns at Antwerp and Ghent where his Queen kept her court at Antwerp the third son of Philippa and Edward III was born November 29 1338. this Prince was a true Fleming being born at Flanders of a Flemish Mother In Due Time Prince Lionel grew to be nearly seven feet in height and being athletic in proportion was a champion of whom any country might be proud the queen returned with this infant Hercules to England in the Autumn of 1339 and in the ensuing year King Edward paid a long visit to his unhappy mother in Norfolk while Queen Philippa went to Norwich to visit her Woolen manufacturies she found a vast number of the Norwich people who having been apprentices of Kemp and his followers were establishing themselves in the profitable trays of weaving and dying she was received with great joy and favored the citizens with her presence from February to Easter at the festivities of that season her royal Lord held a grand tournament at Norwich where he tilted in person in the spring of that same year Philippa again sailed for the opposite coast and established her court at Ghent King Edward in the meantime Crews between England and Holland where he had a fleet of upwards of 300 ships Philippa gave birth to her fourth son again on the midsummer's day 1340. at the very time that her warlike Lord was fighting his Grand naval battle off blankenburg next day the king landed at sloughs impatient to embrace his Queen and her infant and bring Philippa Tidings of the greatest naval Victory the English at that time had ever gained over France philippa's boy was John of gaunt afterwards so renowned as duke of Lancaster the interference of the mother of Philippa about this time occasioned a temporary cessation of hostilities between France and England this princess just as the belligerents were about to engage before tornay went to her son-in-law and then to her brother King Philip and kneeling before them implored them to make peace and stop the effusion of Christian blood the pacification affected by the mother of Queen Philippa for a while put a stop to this Kindred Warfare it was indeed time for both the mighty Edward and his faithful Queen were literally in a state of bankruptcy she had given up her crown and all the jewels she possessed which her royal Lord had pawned to the Flemish Merchants but his wants were still so great that to raise a further sum he likewise pawned the person of his Valiant Kinsmen the Earl of Derby who actually gave himself up to personal restraint while Edward stole away with his queen and the child she nourished to Zealand here he embarked with Philippa and the infant John of gaunt attended by few servants the ship was small the weather stormy and the Royal passengers were in frequent danger of losing their lives however at midnight December 2nd 1340 they landed safely on Tower Wharf here the king found that three nurses and the rest of the royal children constituted the soul Garrison of his Regal Fortress of the tower the careless Constable Nicholas de la Boucher had decamped that evening to visit a lady love in the city and his Waters and soldiers following so good an example had actually left the tower to take care of itself the Great Edward who was not in the mildest of tempers owing to the untoward state of his finances took possession of the Fortress of his capital in a towering rage as his return was wholly unexpected the consternation of constable de la Boucher may be supposed when he had concluded his City visit it was well for the careless Castle in that the gentle Philippa was by the side of her incense Lord at this juncture about this time the heart of the mighty Edward swerved for a while from its Fidelity to Philippa and had not the Royal hero been enamored of a lady of exemplary virtue the piece of the queen might have been forever destroyed Sir William Montague had been rewarded for the good service he did the king in the beginning of his Reign by the title of the Earl of Salisbury he had married the fair Catherine de grass on and received the castle and ship of work Castle whether he had taken his Countess who lived in retirement away from the court in the meantime Salisbury had been captured in the French War his castle in the north which was defended by his Countess and his nephew was besieged in the second Scottish War by King David when in great danger young Montague by a bold personal Adventure carried the news of the distress of the Countess to King Edward who was encamped near Berwick at the approach of Edward the king of Scots raised the siege of work the Royal Heroes interview with Catherine the fair follows in the words of freuchart the moment the count is heard of the king's approach she ordered all the gates to be thrown open and went to meet him most richly dressed and so much that no one could look at her but with Wonder and admiration at her Noble Department great Beauty and affability of behavior when she came near King Edward she made Abe a sense to the ground and gave him thanks for coming to her assistance and then conducted him into the castle to entertain and honor him as she was very capable of doing everyone was delighted with her but the king could not take his eyes off from her so that a spark of fine love struck upon his heart which lasted a long time for he did not believe that the whole world produced any other lady so worthy of being beloved they entered the castle hand in hand the Countess led him first to the hall and then to the best chamber which was very richly furnished as belonging to Sofina lady King Edward kept his eyes so fixed upon the Countess that the gentle Dame was quite a bashed after he had sufficiently examined his apartment he retired to a window and leaning on it fell into a profound reverie the Countess left him to order dinner to be made ready and the table set and the hall ornamented and set out likewise to welcome the knights and Lords who accompany the king when she had given all the orders to her servants she thought needful she returned with a cheerful countenance to King Edward and said Dear Sir what are you musing on such meditating is not proper for you saving your grace you ought rather to be in High Spirits for having freed England from her enemy without loss of blood the king replied oh dear lady you must know that since I have been in this castle some thoughts have oppressed my mind that I was not before aware of so that it behooves me to reflect being uncertain what may be the event I cannot withdraw my attention Dear Sir answered the lady you ought to be of good cheer and feast with your friends to give them more pleasure and leave off pondering for God has been very Bountiful to you in your undertakings so that you are the most feared and renowned prince in Christendom if the King of Scotland had vexed you by the mischiefs he hath done in your kingdom you will speedily be able to make reprisal in his dominions therefore come if it pleases you into the Hall to your nights for dinner will soon be served oh sweet lady say King Edward there be other things which touch my heart and lie heavy there than what you talk of for in truth your beauty is mean and the Perfections of your face and behavior have holy overcome me and so deeply impress my heart that my happiness wholly depends on meeting a return to my flame which no denial from you can ever extinguish oh my dreadlord replied the Countess do not amuse Yourself by laughing at me with trying to tempt me for I cannot believe you are in Earnest as to what you have just said is it likely that so Noble and gallon of Prince as you are would ever think of dishonoring either me or my husband a valiant Knight who has served you so faithfully and who Now lies in Adolfo prison on your account certainly sir this would not read down to your glory nor would you be the better for it if you could have your wayward will The Virtuous lady then quitted the king who was astonished at her words she went into the Hall to hasten dinner afterwards she approached the king's chamber attended by all the knights and said to him my Lord King your nights are all waiting for you to wash your hands for they as well as yourself have fasted too long King Edward left his apartment and came to the hall where after he had washed his hands he seated himself with his Knights at the dinner as did the lady also but the king ate very little and was the whole time pensive casting his eyes whenever he had the opportunity on the countess such Behavior surprised his friends for they were not accustomed to it never having seen the light before in their King they supposed it was his Chagrin at the departure of the Scots without a battle the king remained at the castle the whole day without knowing what to do with himself thus did he pass that day and a sleepless night debating the matter with his own heart at Daybreak he rose Drew out his whole Army raised his camp and made ready to follow the Scots upon taking leave of the Countess he said my dear lady God preserve you safe till I return and I pray that you will think well of what I have said and have the goodness to give me a different answer my gracious liege replied the Countess God of his infinite goodness preserve you and drive from your Noble heart such villainous thoughts for I am and ever shall be ready to serve you but only in what is consistent with my honor and with yours the king left her quite astonished at her answers the love of king Edward wandered from Queen Philippa but for a short time Yeti it was owing to the high principles of Catherine the fair that he never swerved into the commission of evil Queen Philippa attired in the August Robes of the New Order of the Garter and attended by the ladies whom the gallantry of king Edward associated with his Knights assisted her royal Lord in holding the first Charter at Windsor on Saint George's day 1344. Philippa kept the birthday of her Mighty Lord with great festivity at Woodstock in the year 1345. here in that Sylvan Palace where she had spent the first years of her happy wedlock did she find herself in middle life surrounded by a train of beautiful children at the head of whom was Edward Prince of Wales then on the eve of winning his vast Mead of renown philippus Protege Chaucer has in

had been the constant attendant on her husband in his campaigns the annals of the Year 1346 display her character in a more brilliant light as the sagacious ruler of his kingdom and the Victorious leader of his army after the order of the Garter have been fully established King Edward reminded his Valiant Knights and Nobles that with him they made a vow to assist distressed ladies he then specified that the Countess De Montfort particularly required the aid of his chivalry for her Lord was held in captivity by Philip de valois in the towers of the Louvre while the Countess was endeavoring to uphold the cause of her infant son against the whole power of France he signified his intention of giving his personal support to the heroic Countess and of leaving Queen Philippa as Regent of England during his absence on Saint John the Baptist day the king took leave of Queen Philippa appointing the Earl of Kent as her assistant in the government of England the name of her young son Lionel a child of eight years old was associated with his mother in the Regency Philippa made farewell to the darling of her heart her son Edward then in his 16th year this young hero accompanied his Royal sire in order to win his Spurs on the soil of France the exploits of the heroic boy are well known but it is not quite so well known that he was opposed at the field of Chessie to his mother's nearest connections to her uncle Philip of valois and even to Sir John of hey no the favorite relative who had ever been treated by the queen as if he were her father in the true Spirit of a mercenary Soldier Sir John had left the service of his niece's husband in whose employment he had spent the best part of his life merely because the king of France gave him a higher salary the first English military dispatch ever written was addressed to Queen Philippa and her Council by Michael Northborough King Edwards warlike chaplain it contains the most original and graphic detail of the battle of chassis it is dated at The Siege before the town of Calais for the Battle of Chessie was but an interlude of that famous Siege it was now philippa's turn to do Battle Royal with a king as a diversion in favor of France David of Scotland Advanced into England a fortnight after the battle of Chessie and burned the suburbs of York at this juncture Philippa herself hastened to the relief of her Northern subjects freuchart has detailed with great spirits the brilliant conduct of the queen at this crisis the Queen of England who was very anxious to defend her kingdom in order to show she was in Earnest about it came herself to Newcastle upon Tyne she took up her residence there to wait for her forces on the morrow the king of Scots was full forty thousand men Advance within three short miles of the town of Newcastle he's sent to inform the queen that if her men were willing to come forth from the town he would wait and give them battle Philippa answered that she accepted his offer and that her Barons would risk their lives for the realm of their lord The King the Queen's Army Drew up in order for battle at Neville's cross Philippa Advanced among them mounted on her white charger and entreated her men to do their Duty well in defending the honor of their lord the king and urged them for the love of God to fight manfully they promised her that they would acquit themselves loyally to the utmost of their power and perhaps better than if the king had been there in person the queen then took her leave of them and recommended them to the protection of God in Saint George there is no vulgar personal bravado of the fighting woman in the character of Philippa her courage was holy moral courage and her feminine feelings of mercy and tenderness led her when she had done all that a great Queen could do by encouraging her Army to withdraw from the work of Carnage and pray for her invaded Kingdom while the battle joined the English archers gained the battle which was fought on the lands of Lord Neville King David was taken prisoner on his Homeward retreat but not without making the most Gallant resistance when the Queen of England who had tarried a Newcastle while the battle was fought heard that her Army had won the victory she mounted on her white palfrey and went to the battlefield she was informed on the way that the king of Scots was the prisoner of a squire named John Copeland who had rode off with him no one knew with her the queen ordered him to be sought out and told that he had done what was not agreeable to her in carrying off her prisoner without leave all the rest of the day the queen and her Army remained on the battlefield they had won and then returned to Newcastle for the night next day Philippa wrote with her own hand to John Copeland commanding him to surrender the king of Scots to her John answered in a manner most contumacious to the female Majesty then swaying the scepter of England with so much ability and Glory he replied to Philippa that he would not give up his Royal prisoner to woman or child but only to his own Lord King Edward for to him he has sworn Allegiance and not to any woman there spoke the haughty Spirit of feudality which disdained to obey a female Regent although then encamped on a Victorious field the queen was greatly troubled at the obstacy of this Northern Squire and scarcely knew how to depend on the Assurance he added bidding her Knight tell the queen she might depend on his taking good care of King David in this dilemma Philippa wrote letters to the king her husband which she sent off directly to Calais in these letters she informed him of the state of his kingdom the king ordered John Copeland to come to him at Calais who having placed his prisoner in a strong Castle in Northumberland set out and landed near Calais when the king of England saw the Squire he took him by the hand saying ha welcome my Squire who by thy Valor has captured mine adversary the king of Scots John Copeland fell on one knee and replied if God out of his great kindness has given me the King of Scotland and permitted me to conquer him in arms no one ought to be jealous of it for God can if he pleases send his grace to a poor Squire as well as to a great Lord sire do not take it amiss if I do not surrender King David to the orders of my lady queen for I hold my lands of you and not of her and my oath is to you and not to her unless indeed through choice King Edward answered John the loyal service you have done us and our esteem for your Valor is so great that it may well serve you as an excuse and shameful on all those who bear you any ill will you will now return home and take your prisoner the King of Scotland and convey him to my wife and by way of remuneration I assign lands as near your house as you can choose them to the amount of 500 pounds a year for you and your heirs John Copeland left Calais the third day after his arrival and returned to England when he was come home he assembled his friends and neighbors and in company with them took the king of Scots and carried him to York where he presented him in the name of king Edward to Queen Philippa and made such excuses that she was satisfied and great magnanimity Philippa displayed in being content with the happy result how many women would have borne an unextinguishable hatred to John Copeland for a far less offense than refusing obedience to a delegated scepter Philippa Lodge David in the Tower of London he was conducted by her orders in Grand procession through the streets mounted on a tall black War Horse that everyone might recognize his person in case of Escape next day she sailed for kalei and landed three days before All Saints the arrival of Philippa occasion The Stir of gladness in the besieging camp her royal Lord held a grand Court to welcome his Victorious Queen and made a magnificent feat for her ladies Philippa brought with her the flower of female nobility of England many ladies being anxious to accompany her to Calais in order to see fathers husbands and brothers all engaged in this famous Siege while Queen Philippa was encamped with her royal Lord before Calais the young counts of Flanders who had been kept by Edward in his army as a sort of captive ran away to the king of France to avoid his marriage engagements with a princess Royal a circumstance which caused Great grief and indignation to the queen and her family but the conduct of the young Lord of Flanders can scarcely excite Wonder for Edward III certainly forgetting song metier Du Roy was in a strong league with the Count's rebellious subject the Brewer Von art develt who under a pretense of Reform had overturned the government of Flanders and delivered up his count to the king of England the states of Flanders having betrothed him to the eldest daughter of Edward without consulting his inclinations the young count at last requested an interview with his betrothed what past is not known but the young couple seemed on the most friendly terms with each other and the Queen supposing the charms of the young Isabella had captivated the unwilling heart of count Louis with her usual generosity requested he might be left unguarded fancying he would remain Isabella's willing prisoner but the Escape of the count follows soon after to the great exasperation of Edward III as Isabella afterwards made a love match the whole scheme had probably been concerted between her and her betrothed for life in the 14th century was an acted Romance meantime the brave Defenders of Calais were so much reduced by famine as to be forced to capitulate at first Edward resolved to put them all to the sword by The Persuasions of Sir Walter mountie he somewhat relaxed from his bloody intentions he made Sir Walter says freus Arch returned to Calais with the following terms tell the governor of kalei that the Garrison and inhabitants shall be pardoned accepting six of the principal citizens who must surrender themselves to death with ropes around their necks bare-headed and barefooted bringing the keys of the town and castle in their hands Sir Walter returned to the brave governor of Calais John de vienne who was waiting for him on the battlements and told him all he had been able to gain from the king the Lord of vienne went to the marketplace and caused the Bell to be rung upon which all the inhabitants assembled in the town hall he then related to them what he had said and the answers he had received and that he could not obtain better of conditions then they broke into Lamentations of grief and despair so that the hardest heart would have had compassion on them and their Valiant Governor Lord davien wept bitterly after a short pause the most wealthy citizen of Calais by name eustacean Pierre rose up and said gentlemen both high and low it would be pity to suffer so many of our countrymen to die through famine it would be highly meritorious in the eyes of our savior if such misery could be prevented if I died to serve my dear townsman I trust I shall find grace before the tribunal of God I name myself first of the six when Eustace had done speaking his fellow citizens all rose up and almost adored him casting themselves on their knees with tears and grounds then another citizen rose up and said he would be the second to Eustis his name was John dare after him John wisant who was very rich in money and lands and Kinsmen to Eustace and John his example was followed by Peter wysant his brother two others then offered themselves which completed the number demanded by King Edward the governor mounted a small horse for it was with difficulty he could walk and conducted them through the gate to the barriers he said to Sir Walter who was there waiting for him I deliver up to you as governor of Calais these six citizens and swear to you they were and are to this day the most wealthy and respectable inhabitants of the town I beg of you Gentle sir that of your goodness you would beseech the king that they may not be put to death I cannot answer what the king will do with them replied Sir Walter but you may depend upon this that I will do all I can to save them the barriers were then opened and the six citizens were conducted to the Pavilion of king Edward when Sir Walter Mani had presented these six citizens to the king they fell upon their knees and with uplifted hands said most Gallant King see before you six citizens of Calais who have been Capital merchants and who bring you the keys of the town and Castle we surrender ourselves to your absolute will and pleasure in order to save the remainder of our fellow citizens and inhabitants of they who have suffered great distress and misery condescend then out of your nobleness to have compassion on us all the English Barons Knights and Squires that were assembled there in great numbers wept at this site but King Edward eyed them with angry looks for he hated much the people of Calais because of the great losses he had suffered at Sea by them fourth with he ordered the heads of the six citizens to be struck off all present and treated the king to be more merciful but he would not listen to them then Sir Walter mounty spoke ah gentle King I beseech you restrain your anger tarnish not your Noble reputation by such and act as this truly the whole world will cry out on your cruelty if you should put to death these six worthy persons for all this the king gave a wink to his Marshal and said I will have it so and ordered the husband to be sent for adding the medically had done him such damage it was fit they suffered for it at this the Queen of England who was very near her lying in fell on her knees before King Edward and with tears said ah gentle sir Sith ends I have crossed the sea with great Peril to see you I have never asked you one favor now I most humbly ask as a gift for the sake of the son of the Blessed Mary and as a proof of your love to me the lies of these six men King Edward looked at her for some time in silence and then said ah lady I wish you had been anywhere else than here you have been treated in such a manner that I cannot refuse you I therefore give them you do as you please with them the queen conducted the six citizens to her apartment and had the halters taken from about their necks after which she knew clothed them and served them with a plentiful dinner she then presented each with six Nobles and had them escorted out of the camp in safety the French historians who from mortified national pride have endeavored to invalidate this beautiful incident pretend to do so by proving as an inconsistency in the character of Philippa that she took possession a few days after the surrender of Calais of the tenements belonging to one of her protege's John dare they have likewise impuned the patriotism of Eustace sampierre because he remained in Calais as Edward's subject but King Edward granted immunity to all those who swore allegiance to him and stayed in Calais while those who chose expatriation like John dare forfeited their tenements which they certainly could not take with them now for a start has shown that Edward presented his kalasian captives to his Queen to do with them what she pleased this transfer gave Philippa rights over their persons and property which she used most generously in regard to the first but retained her claims over the possessions of the town of those who refuse to become subjects to her husband the very fact proved by deeds and Charters that Philippa became proprietress of John dare's houses greatly authenticates the statement of freus Art it would have been Pleasant to record that Philippa restored the value of John dare's tenements but biography unlike poetry or romance seldom permits us to portray a character approaching perfection truth compels us to display the same person by terms merciful or ferocious generous or acquisitive according to the mutability of human passion The philosophic Observer of life will see no outrage on probability in the fats that Philippa saved John dare's life one day and took possession of his vacated spoils the next week the King after he had bestowed these six citizens on Queen Philippa call to him Sir Walter mountie and his two Marshals the Earls of Warwick and Stafford and said my lords here are the keys of Calais town and Castle go and take possession directions were given for the castle to be prepared with proper lodgings for the king and queen when this had been done the king and queen mounted their steeds and rode towards the town which they entered with the sound of trumpets drums and all sorts of war-like instruments the king remained in Calais till the queen was brought to bed of a daughter named Margaret three days before Edward and Philippa returned to England the emperor Louis of Bavaria died who had married Marguerite of Hano the eldest sister of the queen towards the close of the same year Edward was elected emperor of Germany in honor of which he very wisely declined to accept at this time it was considered that the Royal Philippa and her husband had touched the height of human prosperity with the exception of the trifling disappointment in the disposal of the hand of her eldest daughter the year 1347 closed most auspiciously for Philippa and her warlike Lord but the military triumphs of England brought with them some Corruption of manners at that time the jewels and ornaments that once decorated the females of France were transferred to the persons of the English ladies who out of compliment to the Queen's successful General ship and the personal heroism of the Valiant Countess of Montfort her kinswoman began to give themselves The Heirs of warriors they wore small Jewel daggers as ornaments at their bosoms and their caps formed of cambrick or lawn were cut like the aperture of a knight's helmet but these objectionable caps brought their own punishment with them being hideously Unbecoming the church Was preparing suitable remonstrances against these unfeminine proceedings when all Pride whether Royal or national was at once signally confounded by the awful visitation of pestilence which approached the shores of England 1348. this pestilence was called emphatically from its effects on the human body the Black Death every household in London was smitten and some wholly exterminated nor did philippa's royal family Escape for the cruel pestilence robbed her of the fairest of her daughters under circumstances A peculiar horror the beauty and Graces of the second daughter of Philippa called the princess Joanna of Woodstock were such as to be the themes of every Minstrel she was in her 15th year when Alfonso king of Castile demanded her in marriage for his Heir the infant Pedro who afterwards obtained an undesirable celebrity under the name of Pedro the cruel the princess had been nurtured and educated by that virtuous lady Marie Saint Paul the Widow Countess of Pembroke to whose munificent love of learning Cambridge owes one of her noblest foundations as a reward for rearing and educating the young princess King Edward gave the Countess her governess the manner of Stroud in Kent with many expressions of gratitude calling her his dearest cousin Marie De St Paul the fair Joanna was spared the torment of becoming the wife of the most furious man in Europe by the more merciful plague of the Black Death the Royal bride sailed for Bordeaux at the latter end of the summer of 1348 while her father-in-law the king of Castile traveled to the Frontier City by own with the infant Don Pedro to meet her King Edward's loyal citizens of Bordeaux escorted the princess Joanna as far as Bayonne in the Cathedral of which city she was to give her hand to Pedro on the very evening of her triumphal entry into Bayonne the pestilence out of all the assembled multitudes seized on the fair young plantagenet as a victim it terminated her existence in a few hours her Spanish bridegroom and the King his father followed her funeral procession on the very day and hour she was appointed to give her hand as a bride at the altar of that Cathedral wherein she was buried a deep grief of the parents of Joanna is visible in the Latin letters written by Edward III to the king of Castile to Don Pedro and to the queen of Castile if the latinity of these letters will not bear the criticism of the classical scholar they are nevertheless lofty in sediment and breathe an expression of Parental tenderness seldom to be found in state papers your daughter and ours he says to the queen of Castile was by Nature wonderfully endowed with gifts and Graces but little does it now Avail to praise them or specify the charms of that beloved one who is oh grief of heart forever taken from us yet the debt of mortality must be paid however deeply sorrow may drive the thorn and our hearts be transpierced by anguish nor will our size and tears cancel the inevitable law of nature Christ the celestial spouse has taken the maiden bride to be his spouse she in her innocent and Immaculate years has been transferred to the Virgin Choir in heaven where for us below she will perpetually intercede the queen must have imagined that her royal and handsome progeny was doomed to a life of Salah the sea for some extraordinary accident or other had hitherto prevented the marriage of her daughters her heroic son Edward had been on the point of marrying several princesses without his nuptials ever being brought to a conclusion a long attachment had subsisted between him and his beautiful cousin Joanna daughter of his uncle Edmund Earl of Kent and the lady had remained unwetted till her 25th year after being divorced from the Earl of Salisbury to whom she had been contracted in her infancy Queen Philippa had a great objection to her son's Union with his cousin on account of the flightiness of the lady's disposition after vainly hoping for the Royal consent to her Union with her cousin Joanna gave her hand to Sir Thomas Holland but still the black prince remained a bachelor after the grand crisis of the capture of Calais Philippa resided chiefly in England our country felt the advantage of the beneficent presence of its Queen Philippa had in her youth established the Woolen manufacturers she now turned her sagacious intellect towards working the coal mines in Tyndale a branch of National Industry whose inestinable benefits need not be dilated upon the minds had been worked with great prophets in the reign of Henry III but the convulsions of the Scottish Wars had stopped their progress Philippa had Estates in Tyndale and she had long resided in its vicinity during Edward's Scottish campaigns it was an infallible result that wherever this great Queen directed her attention wealth and National Prosperity speedily followed well did her actions illustrate her Flemish motto Ike rude which obsolete words may be rendered I labor or toil much soon after her return from Calais she obtained a grant from her royal Lord giving permission to her bailiff Alan day Strother to work the minds of alderneston which had been worked in the days of King Henry III and Edward the first from this reopening of the Tyndale mines by Philippa preceded our call Trade which during the reign of her grandson Henry IV enriched the great Merchant Whittington and the city of London the queen continued to increase the royal family the princess Mary who afterwards marry the Duke of Brett again Prince William born at Windsor died in his 12th year Edmund afterwards Duke of York and Blanche of the tower were born before the surrender of clay the Princess Margaret and Thomas of Woodstock afterwards Edward's presence to his Queen on these occasions were munificent one of his grants is thus affectionately worded July 20 King orders his ex Checker to pay our Philippa our dearest consort 500 pounds to liquidate the expenses of her churching at Windsor this was on occasion of the birth of Prince William philippa's Second Son of that name Philippa did not disdain the alliance of the great English Nobles her objection to the union of Edward her chivalric Heir with Joanna the fair arose solely from disapprobation of the moral character of that princess her next surviving son Lionel she not only United to an English Maiden but undertook the worship and education of his Young Bride As maybe learned from this document January 1 1347 Edward III gives to his dearest consort Philippa the worship of the person of Elizabeth deberg daughter of the deceased Earl of Ulster slain in Ireland with her lands and Lordships until Lionel yet in Tender Years shall take the young Elizabeth to wife two of

chapter 2 part 2. Queen Philippa with her son the black prince paid a visit to Norwich in 1350 and there held a magnificent tournament the Royal mother and her heroic son were received by the inhabitants of the city enriched by her statistical wisdom with the utmost gratitude and were entertained by the corporation at an expense of 37 pounds four Shillings six and a half Pence as appears by their records the grand victory of poitieres distinguished the year 1357. a prouder day than that of Neville's cross was the 5th of May 1357 when Edward the black prince landed at sandwich with his Royal prisoner King John and presented him to his mother after that glorious entry into London where the prince tacitly gave John the honors of a Souza Reign by permitting him to mount the famous white charger on which he wrote at Poitier's and which was captured with him at the same time that the queen received her vanquished Kinsmen her son presented to her another prisoner who young as he was was far fiercer in his captivity than the king of France this was Philip the fourth son of King John a little hero of 14 who had fought desperately by his father's side on the Lost field and had been captured with some difficulty alive and not till he was desperately wounded the first day of his arrival at the court of England he gave a proof of his fierceness by starting from the table where he sat at dinner with the king and queen and his father and boxing the ears of King Edward's cup Bearer for serving the king of England before the king of France four he said though his father King John was unfortunate he was The Sovereign of the king of England Edward and Philippa only smiled at the boys petulance and treated him with indulgent benevolence and when he quarreled with the Prince of Wales at a game of chess they most courteously decided the disputed move in favor of Prince Philip that renowned Champion sir Bertrand Dugas Glenn was one of the prisoners of poor cheers one day when Queen Philippa was entertaining at her Court a number of the noble French Prisoners the Prince of Wales proposed that dugess Glenn should name his own Ransom according to the etiquette of the times adding that whatever some he mentioned be it small or great should set him free the Valiant Breton valued himself at a hundred thousand crowns the Prince of Wales started at the immense sum and Aster Bertrand how he could ever expect to raise such an enormous Ransom I know replied the hero a hundred nights in my native Brett again who would mortgage their last acre rather than do gasoline should either languish in captivity or be rated below his value yea and there is not a woman in France now toiling at her distaff who would not devote a year's earnings to set me free for well have I deserved of their sex and if all the fair Spinners in France employ their hands to redeem me thank you Prince whether I shall bide much longer with you Queen Philippa who had listened with great attention to the discussion between her son and his prisoner now spoke I name she said 50 000 crowns my son as my contributions towards your Gallant prisoners ransom for though an enemy to my husband a knight who is famed for the courteous protection he has afforded to my sex deserves the assistance of every woman do gasoline immediately threw himself at the feet of the generous Queen saying ah lady being the ugliest Knight in France I never reckoned on any goodness from your sex accepting from Those whom I aided or protected by my sword but your Bounty will make me think less despicably of myself Philippa as is usual in the brightest specimens of female Excellence was the friend of her own sex and honored those men most who paid the greatest reverence to women the most glorious Festival ever known in England was that held at Windsor in the commencement of the Year 1358 for the diversion of the two Royal prisoners John King of France and David Bruce of Scotland the round Tower at Windsor despite the heavy expenses of war was completed on purpose that the feast called the round table of the Knights of the Garter might be held within it the captive majesties of France and Scotland were invited to that Feast as guests and sat one on each side of Edward III King John and King David tilted at the list the interest of the ceremony was further enhanced by the fatal accident which befell the Stout Earl of Salisbury who was killed in one of the encounters at the list reports says that King John of France was still more captivated with the beauty of Lady Salisbury than King Edward had been and as hopelessly for that fair and virtuous woman retired into the deepest seclusion after the calamitous death of her Lord after the Windsor Festival Edward placed King John in a irksome captivity and prepare for the reinvasion of France Queen Philippa embarked with her husband for the new campaign on the 29th of October 1359. all her sons were with the Army accepting The Little Prince Thomas of Woodstock who at the redoubtable age of five years was left guardian of the kingdom and represented the Majesty of his father's person by sitting on the throne when parliaments were held after Edward had marched through France without resistance and if the truth must be spoken desolating as he went a bleeding and suffering country in a most ungenerous manner his career was stopped as he was hastening to lay Siege to Paris by the hand of God itself one of those Dreadful thunderstorms which at distance Cycles pass over the continent of France literally attacked the invading Army within two leagues of chartrez and wreaked its utmost fury on the Proud chivalry of England six thousand of Edward's finest horses and one thousand of his bravest Cavaliers among whom were The Heirs of Warwick and morally were struck dead before him the guilty ambition of Edward smote his conscience he knelt down on the spots and spreading his hands toward the Church of Our Lady of chartrez vowed to stop the effusion of blood and make peace on the spot with France his Queen who wish well for the noble-minded king of France held him to his resolution and a piece containing tolerable articles for France was concluded at bretzagai the queen king Edward and the royal family returned and landed at Rai 18th of May 10 days after the piece after the Triumph of poetiers the king and queen no longer opposed the union of the Prince of Wales with Joanna the fair although that princess was four years older than Edward and her character and disposition were far from meeting the approval of the queen Edward and Joanna were married in the Queen's Presence at Windsor Chapel October 10 1361. after this marriage King Edward invested his son with a duchy of Aquitaine and he departed with his bride in an evil hour to govern that territory froysart speaking of the farewell visit of the queen says I John frysart author of these Chronicles was in the service of Queen Philippa when she accompanied King Edward and the royal family to birkenstead Castle to take leave of The Prince and Princess of Wales on their departure for Aquitaine I was at that time 24 years old and one of the clerks of the chamber to my lady the queen during this visit as I was Seated on a bench I heard an ancient night expounding some of the Prophecies of Merlin to the Queen's ladies according to him neither the Prince of Wales nor the Duke of Clarence though sons of king Edward will wear the crown of England but it will fall to the House of Lancaster this gives a specimen of the conversation with which Maids of Honor in the reign of Queen Philippa were entertained not with Scandal or Fashions but with the best Endeavors of an ancient Knight to tell a fortune or peep into fertility by the assistance of the wizard Merlin King John soon after the piece took leave of the queen for the purpose of returning to France that he might arrange for the payment of his Ransom he sent to England the young Lord de Kersey count of soy Sons as one of the hostages for its liquidation during the sojourn of descersey in England he won the heart of Lady Isabella the eldest daughter of Edward and Philippa after remaining sometime in France and finding it impossible to fulfill his engagements King John returned to his captivity and redeemed his parole and his hostages with this Noble sediment if honor were lost elsewhere upon Earth it ought to be found in the conduct of Kings freusar thus describes the return of that heroic but unfortunate sovereign news was brought to the king who was at that time with Queen Philippa at eltham a very magnificent Palace the English kings have seven miles from London that the captive King had landed at Dover this was in 1364 the 1st of January King Edward sent off a grand deputation saying how much he and the queen were rejoiced to see him in England and this it may be supposed All Things Considered King John readily believed King John offered at The Shrine of Thomas at Beckett at Canterbury on his journey and taking the road to London he arrived at eltham where Queen Philippa and King Edward were ready to receive him it was on a Sunday in the afternoon there were between that time and supper many Grand dances and carols at which it seems the young Lord de Kersey distinguished himself by singing and dancing I can never relate how very honorably the king and queen behaved to King John at eltham they afterwards launched him with great pomp in the Palace of the Savoy where he visited King Edward at Westminster whenever he had a mind to see him or the queen taking boats and coming from Savoy stairs by water to the Palace but King John's Health was declining and he died at the Savoy Palace the same year the marriage soon after took place between the elegant day Kersey and the Princess Royal although an Emperor's grandson this nobleman could scarcely be considered a match for the daughter of Edward III but since the Escape of her faithless betrothed the count of Flanders Isabella had entered into no marriage contract and was at the time of her nuptials turned of 30. on occasion of the marriage festivals King Edward presented his Queen with two Rich corsets one embroidered with the words mind bidden a and the other with her motto Ike rude Prince Lionel at this time espoused the ward of Queen Philippa Elizabeth desberg who brought as a dower at least one third of Ireland with the mighty inheritance of the Claires Earls of Gloucester Edward III afterwards created Lionel Duke of Clarence this Prince through whose daughter married to Edmund Mortimer the line of York derived as primogenitor was a handsome and courageous Flemish Giant mild tempered and amiable as persons of great strength and stature by a beneficent law of nature usually are Lionel is rather an obscure though important person in English History here is his Portrait by the last of our rhyming chroniclers in all the world there was no Prince him like of high stature and All seemliness Above All Men within the whole King Reich Kingdom by the shoulders might be seen doubtless in Hall was he made like for gentleness in other places Fame for rhetoric but in the field a lion marmarich death soon dissolved the wedlock of Elizabeth de Berg she left a daughter but a few days old this motherless paved the queen Philippa adopted for her own and became sponsored to her with the Countess of Warwick as we learn from the Friars genealogy when mentioning Lionel of Clarence his wife was dead and at Claire buried and no Heir had be but his daughter Fair Felipe that height as Chronicles specified whom Queen Philippe christened for his Heir the Archbishop of York for her come here her godmother also of Warwick Countess a lady likewise of great worthiness John of God the third surviving son of Philippa married Blanche the heiress of Lancaster the princess Mary was wedded to the Duke of Bretz again but died early in life Edmund Langley Earl of Cambridge afterwards Duke of York married Isabella of Castile whose sister his brother John of gaunt took for his second wife the youngest Prince Thomas of Woodstock afterwards created Duke of Gloucester married an English lady the co-heiress of Humphrey de Bohan Constable of England Margaret the fifth daughter of Edward III was given in marriage to the Earl of Pembroke she was one of the most learned ladies of her age and a distinguished patroness of Chaucer notwithstanding their great strength and commanding stature scarcely one of the sons of Philippa reached old age even John of gaunt time-honored Lancaster was only 59 at his demise the premature introduction to the cares of State the weight of plate armor and the violent exercise in the Tilt yard by way of relaxation from the severe toils of partisan Warfare seem to have brought early old age on this Gallant Brotherhood of princes the queen had been the mother of twelve children eight survived her every one of the sons of Philippa were famous champions in the field the black prince and John of gaunt were learned elegant and Brilliant and strongly partook of the genius of Edward the first and the Provencal plantagenets Lionel and Edmund were good-natured and brave they were comely in features and gigantic in stature they possessed no great Vigor of intellect and were both rather addicted to the pleasures of the table Thomas of Woodstock was fierce petulant and rapacious he possessed however considerable accomplishments and is reckoned among the Royal and Noble authors he wrote a history of the laws of battle which is perspicuous in style he was the great patron of Gower the poet who belonged originally to the household of this Prince the queen saw the promise of a successor to the throne of England in the progeny of her best beloved Son Edward her grandson Richard was born at Bordeaux before she succumbed to her final malady Philippa had not the misery of living to see the change in the prosperity of her family to witness the long pining decay of the heroic Prince of Wales the Grievous change in his health and disposition or the imbecility that gradually took possession of the once Mighty mind of her husband before these reverses took place the queen was seized with a dropsicle malady under which she languished about two years all her sons were absent on the continent when her death approached accepting her youngest Thomas of Woodstock the black prince had just concluded his Spanish campaign and was Ill in gascony Lionel of Clarence was at the point of death in Italy the queen secretary Frey Sarge had accompanied that Prince when he went to be married to violante of Milan on the return of freusart he found his Royal mistress was dead and he thus describes her deathbed from the detail of those who were present and heard her last words I must now speak of the death of the most courteous liberal and Noble lady that ever reigned in her time the lady Philippa of Hano Queen of England while her son the Duke of Lancaster wasn't camped in the valley of tornaham ready to give battle to the Duke of burgundy this death happened in England to the infinite Misfortune of king Edward his children and the whole Kingdom that excellent lady queen who had done so much good aiding all nights ladies and damsels when distressed who had applied to her was at this time dangerously sick at Windsor Castle and every day her disorder increased when the good Queen perceived that her end approached she called The King and extending her right hand from under the bed clothes put it into the right hand of king Edward who was oppressed with sorrow And Thus Spoke we have my husband enjoyed our long Union in happiness peace and prosperity but I entreat you before I depart and we are forever separated in this world that you will grant me three requests King Edward was size and tears replied lady name them whatever be your requests they shall be granted my Lord she said I beg you will fulfill whatever engagements I have entered into with Merchants for their fares as well on this as on the other side of the scene I beseech you to fulfill whatever gifts or legacies I have made or left to churches wherein I have paid my devotions and to all my servants whether male or female and when it shall please God to call you hence you will choose no other Sepulcher than mine and that you will Lie by my side in The Cloisters of Westminster Abbey the king in tears replied lady all this shall be done soon after the good lady made the sign of the cross on her breast and having recommended to the king her youngest son Thomas who was present praying to God she gave up her spirit which I firmly believe was caught up by Holy Angels and carried to the glory of Heaven for she had never done anything by thought or deed to endanger her soul thus died this admirable Queen of England in the year of Grace 1369 the vigil of the Assumption of the Virgin the 14th of August information of this heavy loss was carried to the English army at tornaham which greatly Afflicted everyone more especially her son John of gaunt Duke of Lancaster philippa's words were not complied with to the letter her grave is not by her husband's side at Westminster Abbey but at his feet her statue in Alabaster is placed on the monument skeleton's translation of her Latin Epitaph hung on a tablet close by her

Queen's college and Dane paulus school that did her Fame ReSound the wife of Edward dear Queen Felipe lieth here learn to live truth obliges us to divest Queen Philippa of one good deed which was in fact out of her power to perform she is generally considered to be the first founders of The Magnificent Queen's college at Oxford it was founded indeed by her chaplain that noble character Robert day Egglesfield who with modesty equal to his learning in merits placed it under the protection of his Royal mistress and called it her foundation and the College of the queen Philippa herself the consort of a monarch perpetually engaged in foreign war and the mother of a large family contributed but a might towards this Splendid Foundation this was a yearly rent of 20 marks to the sustenance of six scholar chaplains to be paid by her receiver Queen philippa's principal charitable donation was to the hospital of the nuns of Saint Catherine by the tower she likewise left donations to the canons of the new Chapel of Saint Stephen which Edward III had lately built as the domestic place of worship to Westminster palace the only shade of unpopularity ever cast on the conduct of Philippa was owing to the rapacity of her purveyors after her children grew up the royal family was numerous and the revenues impoverished by constant War were very slender and therefore every absolute Dew was enforged from tenants of the crown by the purveyors of the royal household the damsels of the Queen's bed chamber were pensioned by King Edward after her death according to her request he charges his ex Checker to pay during the terms of their separate lives on account of their good and faithful services to Philippa late Queen of England first to the Beloved damsel Alicia day Preston 10 marks yearly at pasch and Michael Miss likewise to Matilda Fisher to Elizabeth Kershaw to Joanna Khali 10 marks yearly to Joanna cousin to Philippa the pie card and to Agatha lurgen a hundred Shillings yearly and to Matilda radscroft and Agnes Day saxobe five marks yearly the name of Alice pairers does not appear on this list of beloved damsels but a little further on in the federa occurs a well-known and disgraceful Grant know all that we give and concede to our beloved Alicia peers late damsel of the Chamber of our dearest consort Philippa deceased and to her heirs and executors all the jewels goods and chattels that the said queen left in the hands of euphemia who was wife to Walter day hesselarton Knight and the said euphemia is to deliver them to the said Alicia on receipt of this order it is to be feared that the king's attachment to this woman had begun during philippa's lingering illness for in 1368 she obtained a gift of a manner that had belonged to the king's aunt and in the course of 1369 she was enriched by the grant of several manners but we will not pursue this subject we are not obliged to trace the events of the dotage and Folly of the once Great Edward or show the absurdity of which he was guilty when he made the infamous Alice peers the Queen's successor in his affections during his Youth and the brilliant maturity of his life philippa's Royal partner was worthy of the intense and faithful love she bore him according to this portrait Edward was not only a king but a king among men highly gifted in mind person and genius Edward III was just six feet in stature exactly shaped and strongly made his limbs beautifully turned his face and nose somewhat long and high but exceedingly calmly his eyes sparkling like fire his looks manly his air and movements most majestic he was well versed in law history and the Divinity of the times he understood and spoke readily Latin French Spanish and German whilst the court was distracted with the factions which succeeded the death of the black prince when John of gaunt Duke of Lancaster was suspected of aiming at the crown a most extraordinary story was circulated in England relating to a confession supposedly made by Queen Philippa on her deathbed to William a wikaham bishop of Winchester that John of God was neither the son of Philippa nor Edward III but a porter son of Ghent for the queen had told him that she brought forth not a son but a daughter again that she overlaid and killed The Little Princess by accident and dreading the wrath of king Edward for the death of his infant she persuaded the Porter's wife a Flemish woman to change her living son who was born at the same time for the dead princess and so the queen nourished and brought up the man now called Duke of Lancaster which she bear not and all these things did the queen on her deathbed declare in confession to Bishop wikeaham and earnestly prayed him that every chanceth this son of the Flemish Porter affecteth the kingdom he will make his stock and lineage known to the world lest a false Heir should inherit the Throne of England the inventor of this story did not remember that of all the sons of Philippa John of God most resembled his Royal sire in the high Majestic lineaments and piercing eyes which spoke of The Descent of the plantagenets of southern Europe the portraits of Edward III of the elegant black prince and of John of gaunt are all marked with as strong and Arab individuality as if they had been painted by the accurate Holbein the close Observer of History will not fail to notice that with the life of Queen Philippa the happiness the good fortune and even the respectability of Edward III and his family departed and scenes of strife sorrow and Folly distracted the court where she

Terror incognita and as a general knowledge of geography and statistics was certainly not among the list of Imperial accomplishments in the 14th century the Emperors dispatched Duke premise loss of Saxony on a voyage of Discovery to ascertain for the satisfaction of herself and the princess what sort of country England might be whatever were the particulars of the Duke's discoveries and his Homeward dispatches must have been of a most curious nature it appears he kept a scrutinizing eye in regard to pecuniary interest his report seems to have been on the whole satisfactory since in the federa we find a letter from the Imperial Widow of Charles IV to the effect that I Elizabeth Roman emperors always Augusta likewise queen of bohemia empowered Duke premise laws to treat with Richard King of England concerning the wedlock of that excellent virgin the damsel and born of us and in our name to order and dispose and as if our own soul were pledged to swear to the Fulfillment of every engagement when the Duke of Saxony returned to Germany he carried presence of jewels from the King of England to the ladies who had the care of the princess's education the Duke of Lancaster John of gods would willingly have seen the king his nephew married to his daughter whom he had by the lady Blanche of Lancaster but it was thought that the young lady was too nearly related being the king's cousin German Sir Simon Burley a sage and Valiant Knight who had been King Richard's tutor and had been much beloved by the Prince of Wales his father was deputed to go to Germany respecting the marriage with the emperor's sister the Duke and Duchess of brabant from the love they bore the king of England received his Envoy most courteously and said it would be a good match for their niece but the marriage was not immediately concluded for the damsel was young added to this there shortly happened in England Great misery and tribulation by the calamitous Insurrection of watt Tyler Richard II was the sole surviving offspring of the Gallant black prince and Joanna of Kent born in the luxurious South the first accents of Richard of Bordeaux were formed in the poetical language of Provence and his infantates linked to music in song taste which assimilated ill with the manners of his own court and people his mother and half-brothers after the death of his princely father had brought up the Future King of England with the most ruinous personal Indulgence an unconstitutional ideas of his own infallibility he had inherited more of his mother's levity than his father's strength of character yet the domestic affections of Richard were of the most Vivid and enduring nature especially towards the females of his family and the state of distress and Terror to which he saw his mother reduced by the insolence of what Tyler's mob was the chief stimulant of his Gallant behavior when that Revel fell beneath the sword of Walworth when these troubles were suppressed time had obviated the objection to the union of Richard and Anne the young princess had attained her 15th year and was considered capable of giving a rational consent to her own marriage and after sending a letter to the Council of England saying she became the wife of their King with full and free will she set out says freysart on her perilous Journey attended by the Duke of Saxony and his Duchess who was her aunt and with a suitable number of knights and damsels they came through brabant to Brussels where Duke wenislaus and his Duchess received the young Queen and her company very grandly the lady Anne remained with her uncle and Aunt more than a month she was afraid of proceeding for she had been informed there were 12 large armed vessels full of Normans on the sea between Calais and Holland that seized and pillaged all that fell in their hands without any respect to persons the report was current that they cruised in those Seas awaiting the coming of the king of England's bride because the king of France and his Council were very uneasy at Richard's German Alliance and were desirous of breaking the match detained by these apprehensions the betrothed Queen remained at Brussels more than a month till the Duke of brabant her uncle sent the Lords of jerusalons and Bosque or to remonstrate with King Charles V who was also the near relative of Anne upon which King Charles remanded the Norman Cruisers into Port but he declared that he granted this favor solely out of love to his cousin Anne and out of no regard or consideration for the king of England the Duke and Duchess were very much pleased and so were all those about to cross the Sea The Royal bride took leave of her uncle and aunt and departed for Brussels Duke wenislaus had the princess escorted with 100 Spears she passed through Bruges where the Earl of Flanders received her very magnificently and entertained her for three days she then set out for gravelines where the Earl of Salisbury waited for her with 500 Spears and as many archers this Noble escort conducted her in Triumph to Calais which belonged to her betroth Lord then the braveman Spearman took their leave after seeing her safely delivered to the English Governor the lady Anne stayed at Calais only till the wind became favorable she embarked on a Wednesday morning and the same day arrived at Dover where she Terry to Repose herself two days the Young Bride had need of some interval to compose herself after her narrow escape from destruction all our native historians notice the following strange fact which must have originated in a tremendous ground swell scarcely says the chronicler had the Bohemian princess set her foot on the shore when a sudden convulsion of the sea took place unaccompanied by wind and unlike any winter storm but the water was so violently shaken and troubled and put in such Furious commotion that the ship in which the young Queen's person was conveyed was very terribly rent in pieces before her very phase and the rest of the vessels that road and Company were tossed so that it estonied all beholders the English Parliament was sitting when intelligence came that the king's bride after all the difficulties and dangers of her progress from Prague had safely arrived at Dover on which it was pro-road but first funds were appointed that with all honor the bride might be presented to the young king on the third day after her arrival the lady Anne set forth on her progress to Canterbury where she was met by the king's uncle Thomas who received her with the utmost reverence and honor when she approached the black Heath the Lord mayor and citizens in Splendid dresses greeted her and with all the ladies and damsels both from Town and Country joined her cavalcade making so Grand an entry in London that the like had scarcely ever been seen the goldsmiths company seven score of the men of this Rich Guild splendidly arrayed themselves to meet as they said the Caesar's sister nor was there munificence confined to their own persons they further put themselves to the expense of 60 Shillings for the higher of seven minstrels with foil on their hats and chaperones and expensive vestures to do honor to the Imperial bride and to two Shillings further expense for quotations for the SED minstrels at the upper end of cheap was a pageant of a castle with Towers from two sides of which ran Fountains of wine from these towers beautiful damsels blew in the faces of the king and queen Gold Leaf this was thought a device of extreme elegance and Ingenuity they likewise threw counterfeit gold florins before the horse's feet of the royal party Anna Bohemia was married to Richard II in the chapel Royal of the Palace of Westminster the newly erected structure of Saint Stephen on the wedding day which was the 20th after Christmas there were says freysart Mighty feastings that gallant and Noble Knight Sir Robert Neymar accompanied the queen from the time when she quitted Prague till she was married the king at the end of the week carried his Queen to Windsor where he kept open in Royal house they were very happy together she was accompanied by the King's mother the Princess of Wales and her daughter The Duchess of threat to gain half-sister to King Richard who was then in England soliciting for the restitution of the earldom of Richmond which had been taken from her husband by the English Regency and settled in part of dower on Queen Anne some days after the marriage of the royal pair they returned to London and the coronation of the queen was performed most magnificently at the Young Queen's Earnest request a general pardon was granted by the king at her consecration The Afflicted people stood in need of this respite as the executions since Tyler's Insurrection had been bloody and barbarous beyond all precedent the land was wreaking with the blood of the unhappy peasantry when the Humane intercession of the gentle and a Bohemia put a stop to the executions this mediation obtained for Richard's bride the title of the good Queen Anne and and years instead of impairing the popularity usually so evanescent in England only increased the esteem felt by her subjects for this beneficent princess Grand tournaments were held directly after the coronation many days were spent in these solemnities wherein the German Nobles who had accompanied the queen to England displayed their chivalry to the great Delight of the English our chroniclers call Anna Bohemia the beauty is Queen at 15 or 16 a blooming German girl is a very pleasing object but her beauty must have been limited to stature and complexion for the features of her statue are homely and undignified a narrow high-pointed forehead a long upper lip cheeks whose fullness increased towards the lower part of the face can scarcely entitle her to claim a reputation for beauty but the headdress she wore must have neutralized the defects of her face in some degree by giving an appearance of breath to her narrow forehead this was the horn cap which constituted the headgear of the ladies of bohemia and Hungary and in this Mooney Tire did the Bride of Richard present herself to the astonish eyes of her female subjects Queen Anne made some atonement for being the Importer of these hideous Fashions by introducing the use of pins such as are used at our present toilets our chroniclers declare that previously to her arrival in England the English Fair fastened their robes with skewers a great misrepresentation four even as early as the Roman Empire the use of pins was known and English barrows have been opened wherein were found numbers of very neat and efficient little Ivory pens which have been used in arranging the grave clothes of the dead and can these irreverent chroniclers suppose that English ladies use worse fastenings for their robes in the 14th century side Saddles were the third new fashion brought into England by Anna Bohemia they were different from those used at present which were invented or first adopted by Catherine de Medici queen of France the side saddle of Anna Bohemia was like a bench with a hanging step where both feet were placed this mode of writing required a footman or Squire at the bridal reign of the ladies palfrey and was chiefly used in processions according to the fashion of the age the young Queen had a device which all her Knights were expected to wear at tournaments but her device was we think a very stupid one being an ostrich with a bit of iron in his mouth in the celebration of the Festival of the order of the Garter 1384. Queen Anne wore a robe of violet cloth died in Grain the hood lined with Scarlet the robe lined with fur she was attended by a number of noble ladies who were mentioned as newly received into the Society of the Garter they were habited in the same costume as their young Queen the Royal spouse of Anne was remarkable for the foppery of his dress he had one coat estimated at 30 000 marks its Chief value must have Arisen from the precious stones with which it was adorned this was called apparel broidered of stone notwithstanding the great Ascension of luxury that followed this marriage the daughter of the Caesars as Richard proudly called his bride not only came portionless to the English Throne matrimonial but her husband had to pay a very handsome sum for the honor of calling her his own he paid to her brother ten thousand marks for the Imperial Alliance besides being at the whole charge of her journey the jewels of the duchy of Aquitaine the floriated Coronet and many broaches in the forms of animals were pawned to the londoners in order to raise money for the expenses of the bridal to Anna Bohemia is attributed the honor of being the first in that illustrious band of princesses who were the nursing mothers of the Reformation the Protestant Church inscribes her name at the commencement of the illustrious list in which are seen those of Anne Boleyn Catherine Parr Lady Jane gray and Queen Elizabeth whether the young Queen brought those principles with her or imbibed them from her mother-in-law the Princess of Wales it is not easy to ascertain a passage quoted by Huss the Bohemian reformer leads to the inference that Anne was used to read the scriptures in her native tongue it is possible says wicklife in his work called the threefold bond of love that our Noble Queen of England sister of the Caesar may have the gospel written in three languages Bohemian German and Latin now to heredicate her brand her with heresy on that account would be luciferian Folly the influence of Queen Anne over the mind of her young husband was certainly employed by Joanna Princess of Wales to Aid her in saving the life of Wick life when in great danger at the Council of Lambeth in 1382. Joanna Princess of Wales was a convert of Wick life who had been introduced to her by his Patron the Duke of Lancaster Joanna aided by her daughter-in-law swayed the ductile mind of King Richard to their wishes soon after the queen was separated from her husband by a war in Scotland the most remarkable incident of his campaign was the murder of Lord Stafford by the king's half-brother John Holland jealousy of the Queen's favor and Malice against her adherence appeared to be the secret motives of this deed Stafford was a Peerless Chevalier adored by the English army and for his virtuous conduct in high favor with Anna Bohemia who called him her Knight and he was actually on his way to London with messages from the King to the queen when this fatal encounter took place the ostensible cause of the murder likewise was connected with the queen as we learned from Freud's art that archers of Lord Stafford when protecting sir mellas a Bohemian night then with the Army who was a friend of Queen Anne slew a favorite Squire belonging to Sir John Holland and to Revenge a punishment which this man had brought upon himself Sir John cut Lord Stafford down without any personal provocation the grief of the Earl of Stafford his entreaties for justice on the murderer of his son and above all the atrocious circumstances of the case wrought on King Richard to vow that an exemplary Act of Justice should be performed on John Holland brother though he might be as soon as he ventured from the shrine of Saint John of Beverly whether this homicide had fled for sanctuary in vain Joanna Princess of Wales the mutual mother of the king and murderer pleaded with Richard after his return from Scotland that the life of Sir John might be spared after four days incessant lamentation the King's mother died on the fifth day at the royal castle of Wallingford Richard's resolution failed him at this catastrophe and went too late to save his mother he pardoned the criminal the aggrieved persons in this unhappy Adventure were the friends of the queen but there is no evidence that she excited her husband's wrath the homicide who had occasions so much trouble departed on an atoning pilgrimage to Syria he was absent from England during the life of Queen Anne and happy would it have been for his brother if he had never returned Anna Bohemia unlike Isabella of France who was always at war with her husband's favorites and Friends made it a rule of life to love all that the king loved and to consider a sedula's compliance with his will as her first Duty in one instance alone did this pliancy of temper lead her into the violation of Justice this was the case of the reputation of the Countess of Oxford there were great murmurings against the Duke of Ireland says for his art but what injured him most was his conduct to his Duchess the lady Philippa daughter of the Lord de Kersey a handsome and Noble lady for the Duke was greatly enamored with one of the Queen's damsels called the landraven she was a tolerably handsome Pleasant woman whom Queen Anne had brought with her from Bohemia the Duke of Ireland loved her with such order that he was desires of making her if possible his Duchess by marriage all the good people of England were much shocked at this for his lawful wife was granddaughter to the Gallant King Edward and the excellent Queen Philippa being the daughter of the princess Isabella her uncles the Dukes of Gloucester and York were very Roth at this insult the first and last error of Anna Bohemia was the participation in this disgraceful transaction by which she was degraded in the eyes of subjects who had warmly admired her Meek virtues the offensive part taken by the queen in this transaction was that she actually wrote with her own hand an urgent letter to Pope Urban persuading him to sanction the divorce of the Countess of Oxford and to authorize the marriage of her faithless Lord with the landraven whether the maid of honor were a princess or a peasant she had no right to appropriate another man's husband the queen was scarcely less culpable in aiding and abetting so nefarious a measure to the infinite injury of herself and of the consort she so tenderly loved there was scarcely an Earl in England who was not related to the royal family the Queen by the part she took in this disgraceful Affair offended everyone alive to the Royal House of plantagenet the storm fell in his fury on the head of the unfortunate Sir Simon Burley the same night whom we have seen make two Journeys to Prague in solemn Embassy regarding the Queen's marriage this unfortunate Knight who was the most accomplished man of his age had been for doomed by his persecutors the Earl of our Rundle had previously expressed an opinion to King Richard that Sir Simon De Burley deserved death thou not say to me in the time of thy Parliament when we were in the bath behind the White Hall that Sir Simon day Burley deserved to be put to death on several accounts and did not I make answer I know no reason why he should suffer death and yet you and your companions traitorously took his life from him such was the accusation by King Richard when Arundel stood on his trial to pay the bitter debt of Vengeance that Richard had noted against him as the cause of his Tudor's death the death of Sir Simon Burley was a bitter sorrow to the queen perhaps her first sorrow and as it appears that the expenses of her journey from Germany being left unpaid by the government during the king's minority ultimately led to the disgrace of her friend the queen must have considered herself as the innocent cause of his death while the executions of Sir Simon Burley and many others of the king's adherents were proceeding in London Richard and his Queen retired to Bristol and fixed their residence in the castle end of section 22. section 23 of lives of the queens of England volume 2. this is a LibriVox recording all LibriVox recordings are in the public domain

commence which terminated in the defeat of the royal troops at radcott bridge near Oxford by the Duke of Gloucester and young Henry a bowling broke it was the Queen's mediation alone that could induce Richard to receive the Archbishop of Canterbury when he came to propose an amnesty between the king and his subjects two days and nights did Richard remain inflexible till At Last by the persuasion of Anne the Archbishop was admitted to the Royal presence many plans says freuchart were proposed to the king Outlast by the good advice of the queen he restrained his caller and agreed to accompany the Archbishop to London after the queen returned to London from Bristol the proceedings of that Parliament commenced which has been justly turned by history the merciless the Queen's servants were principal objects of its Vengeance the tendency to loylardism in her household being probably the secret motive it was in vain that the Queen of England humbled herself to the very dust in hopes of saving her Faithful Friends King Richard in a special manner instance the undootifulness of the Earl of our rental to the queen who he declared was three hours on her knees before this Earl pleading with tears for the life of John calverly one of her Esquires all the answers she could get was this pray for yourself and your husband for that is the best thing you can do and let this request alone and all the importunities used could not save calverley's life indeed the Duke of Gloucester and his colleagues established a reign of terror making it penal for anyone to testify Fidelity to the king or queen or to receive their confidence the Duke of Ireland fled to the low countries from once he never returned during his life it is worthy to remark that the needs of his ill-treated wife for whose divorce Anna Bohemia had intrigued with Pope Urban Mary the Great and Powerful Emperor sigismund own brother to that Queen the intermediate time from the Autumn of 1387 to the spring of 1389 was spent by the young king and queen in a species of restraint eltham and Sheen were the favorite residences of Richard and Anne and in these palaces they chiefly sojourned at this time the favorite Summer Palace of Anne was named from the lovely landscape around it Sheen tradition says that Edward the Confessor delighting in the fair scenery called it by that expansive Saxon word signifying everything that is bright and beauty is the king had during this interval attained his 22nd year and his first question on the meeting of his Parliament was how old he was and when they named the years he had attained he declared that his ancestors were always considered of age much earlier and that the meanest of his subjects were of age at 21. he therefore determined to shake off the Fetters that controlled him this scene was followed by a sort of recorination at Saint Stephen's Chapel where the nobility renewed their Oaths to him and it was particularly observed that he kissed those with affection whom he considered as his adherence and scowled at those who had been the leaders of the late insurrections the king always appeared to have been exceedingly attached to his uncle the Duke of Lancaster but he had a strong wish to rid himself of his turbulent and popular cousin Henry the eldest son of that Duke who was born the same year as himself and from infancy was his rival on one occasion Henry had threatened the life of the king in the presence of the queen Thrice have I saved his life exclaimed King Richard once my dear Uncle Lancaster on whom God have mercy would have slain him for his treason and villainy and then oh god of paradise all night did I ride to preserve him from Death once also he drew his sword on me in the chamber of Queen Anne King Richard soon after bestowed on the Duke of Lancaster the sovereignty of Aquitaine probably with the design of keeping the son of that Prince at a distance from England the queen held a grand festival on this occasion part of the high ceremonial consisted in the Queen's presentation of the Duchess of Lancaster with the gold circlet she was to wear as Duchess of Aquitaine while Richard invested his uncle with the Duke of Coronet but the investiture was useless for the people of Aquitaine refused to be separated from the Dominion of England the king's full Assumption of the royal Authority was celebrated with a splendid tournament over which Queen Anne presided as The Sovereign lady to bestow the prize a rich jeweled clasped to the best tenant of the list and a rich crown of gold to the best of the opponents 60 of her ladies mounted on beautiful palfreys each led a night by a silver chain to the tilting ground at Smithfield through the Streets of London by the sound of trumpets attended by numerous minstrels in this order they passed before Queen Anne who was already arrived with her ladies and placed in open Chambers richly decorated the queen retired at dusk to the bishop of London's Palace at St Paul's where she held a Grand Banquet with dancing both before and after supper during the whole of the tournament the queen lodged at the palace of the bishop of London the Queen's good offices as a mediator were required in the year 1392. to compose a serious difference between Richard II and the city of London Richard had asked a loan of a thousand pounds from the citizens which they preemptorily refused an Italian Merchant offered the king the sum required upon which the citizens raised a tumult and tore the unfortunate loan lender to pieces this outrage being followed by a riot attended with Bloodshed Richard declared that as the city did not keep his peace he should resume her Charters and actually remove the courts of law to York in distress the city applied to Queen Anne to mediate for them fortunately Richard had no other favorite at that time than his peace-loving Queen who was says the ancient historians very precious to the nation being continually doing some good to the people and she deserved a much larger Tower than the sun settled on her which only amounted to four thousand five hundred pounds per annum the manner in which Queen Anne pacified Richard is preserved in a Latin Chronicle poem written by Richard Mae Dustin an eyewitness of the scene he was a priest attached to the court and in favor with Richard and the Queen through the private intercession of the Queen the king consented to pass through the city on his way from Sheen to Westminster palace on the 29th of August when they arrived at South work the queen assumed her crown was she wore during the whole procession through London it was Blazing with various gems of the choices kinds her dress was likewise studded with precious stones and she wore a rich car connect about her neck she appeared according to the taste of May Dustin fairest among the fair and from the benign humility of her gracious countenance the anxious citizens gathered hopes that she would succeed in pacifying the king during the entry of the royal pair into the city they rode at some distance from each other at the first Bridge Tower the king and queen were met by the Lord mayor and other authorities followed by a vast Concourse of men women and children every artificer bearing some symbol of his craft before the Southward Bridge gate the King was presented with a pair of fair white steeds trapped with gold cloth figured with red and white and hung full of Silver Bells seeds such as Caesar might have been pleased to yoke to his car Queen Anne then arrived with her train when the Lord mayor venner presented her with a small white pal free exquisitely trained for her own writing the Lord mayor commenced a long speech with these words oh generous offspring of Imperial blood whom God hath destined worthily to sway the scepter as consort of our King he then proceeds to hint that mercy and not rigor best become the queenly station and that gentle ladies had great influence with their loving Lords then entering into the merits of the palfrey he commended its beauty its docility and the convenience of its ambling paces and the magnificence of its purple housings after the animal had been graciously accepted by the queen she passed over the bridge and came to the bridge portal on the city's side but some of her Maids of Honor who were following her into wagons or charettes were not quite so fortunate in their progress over the bridge old London Bridge was in the 14th century and for some ages after no such easy to file for a large influx of people to pass through though not then encroached upon by houses and shops it was encumbered by fortifications and barricades which guarded the drawbridge Towers in the center and the bridge gate Towers at each end in this instance the multitudes pouring out of the city to get a view of the queen and her train meeting the crowds following the Royal procession the throngs pressed on each other so tumultuously that one of the Chariots containing the Queen's ladies was overturned lady rolled upon lady all being sadly discomposed in the upset and what was worse nothing could restrain the laughter of the rude plebeian artificers at last the equippage was righted the discomforted damsels replaced and their charette resumed his place in the procession but such a reverse of horn caps did not happen without serious inconveniences to the wearers as May Destin very minutely particularizes as the king and queen pass through the city the principal thoroughfares were hung with gold cloth and silver tissue and tapestry of silk and gold when they approached the conduit at cheapside red and white wine played from the spouts of a tower erected against it the Royal pair were served with Rosy wine smiling in Golden cups and an angel flew down in a cloud and presented to the king and then to the queen Rich gold circlets were several hundred pounds another conduit of wine played at St Paul's Eastern Gate where was stationed a band of antique musical instruments whose names alone will Astound modern musical ears there were persons playing on timpani's monocords symbols salteries and Liars zambukas sithurns satulas horns and viols our learned latinus dwells with much unction on the symphonus chorus produced by these instruments which he says wrapped all hearers in a kind of stupor no wonder at the monastery of Saint Paul's the king and queen alighted from their steeds and passed through the Cathedral on foot in order to pay their offerings at the Holy Sepulcher of Saint urkenwald at the Western gate they remounted their horses and proceeded to the lead gate there just above the river bridge which river we beg to remind our readers was that delicious dream now called Fleet ditch was perched a Celestial band of spirits who saluted the Royal personages as they passed the fleet Bridge with enchanting singing and sweet samadi making with all a Pleasant View by swinging incense pots they likewise scattered fragrant flowers on the king and queen as they severally passed the bridge and if the odors of that Civic stream the fleet at that time by any means rivaled those which pertain to it at present everyone must own that a fumigation was appointed there with great Judgment at the temple barrier above the gate was the representation of a desert inhabited by all manner of animals mixed with reptiles and monstrous worms or at least by their resemblances in the background was a forest amidst The Concourse of these was seated the Holy Baptist John pointing his finger at an Angus day after the king had halted to view this scene his attention was struck by the figure of Saint John for whom he had a peculiar devotion when an angel descended from above the Wilderness bearing in his arms a splendid gift which was a tablet studded with gems fit for any altar with the crucifixion embossed thereon the king took it in his hand and said Peace to this city for the sake of Christ his mother and my Patron Saint John I forgive every offense then the king continued his progress towards his Palace and the queen arrived opposite to the desert and Saint John when Lord mayor venner presented her with another tablet likewise representing the crucifixion he commenced his speech with these words illustrious daughter of Imperial parents Anne a name in Hebrew signifying Grace and which was born by her who was the mother of the mother of Christ mindful of your race and name intercede for us to the king and as often as you see this tablet think of our city and speak in our favor upon which the queen graciously accepted the dutiful offering of the city saying with the emphatic brevity of a good wife who knew her influence leave all to me by this time the king had arrived at his Palace of Westminster the Great Hall of which was ornamented with hangings more Splendid than the pen can describe Richard's Throne was prepared upon the king's bench which Royal tribunal he ascended scepter in hand and sat in great Majesty when the queen and the rest of the procession entered the hall the queen was followed by her maiden train when she approached the king she knelt down at his feet and so did all her ladies the king hastened to raise her asking what would Anna declare and your request shall be granted the Queen's answer is perhaps a fair specimen of the way in which she obtained her Empire over the week but affectionate mind of Richard more honeyed words than the following female blandishment could scarcely devise sweet she replied my king my spouse my light my life Sweet Love Without whose life mine would be but death be pleased to govern your citizens as a gracious Lord consider even today how munificent their treatment what worship what honor what Splendid public duty have they at Great cost paid to thee revered King like us they are but mortal and liable to Frailty far from thy memory my king my sweet love be their offenses and for their pardon I supplicate kneeling thus lowly on the ground then after some mention of Brutus and Arthur ancient Kings of Britain which no doubt are interpolated flourishes of good Master May Dustin the queen concludes her supplication by requesting that the king would please to restore to these worthy impenitent plebeians their ancient Charters and liberties be satisfied dearest wife the king answered lost should we be to deny thee any reasonable request of thine meantime Ascend and sit beside me on my Throne while I speak a few words to my people he seated the gentle Queen beside him on the throne the king then spoke and all listened in silence both high and low he addressed the Lord mayor I will restore to you my Royal favor as in former days for I duly prize the expense which you have incurred the presence you have made me and the prayers of the queen do you henceforth avoid offense to your Sovereign and disrespect to his Nobles preserve the ancient Faith despise the new doctrines unknown to your fathers defend the Catholic Church the whole church for there is no order of men in it that is not dedicated to the worship of God take back the key and sword keep my peace in your city rule its inhabitants as formerly and be among them my representative no further differences with the King disturb the country during the life of Anna Bohemia it is probable that if the existence of this beloved Queen had been spared the calamities and crimes of Richard's future years would have been averted by her mild advice yet the king's extravagant generosity nothing could repress the profusion of the royal household is severely commented upon by walzingham and knighten still their strictures seem invidious nothing but partisan malice could blame such Hospitality as the following in a time of famine though a terrible series of plagues and famine Afflicted England the king retrenched none of his diversions or expenses he entertained every day six thousand persons most of them were Indigent poor he valued himself on surpassing in magnificence all the sovereigns in Europe as if he possessed an inexhaustible treasure in his kitchen alone 300 persons were employed and the queen had a like number to attend upon her service while Richard Was preparing for a campaign in Ireland which country had revolted from his authority his departure was delayed by a terrible bereavement this was the loss of his beloved partner it is suppose she died of the pestilence That Was Then raging throughout Europe as her decease was heralded by an illness of but a few hours freysart says speaking of the occurrences in England June 1394. at this period the lady Anne Queen of England fell sick to the infinite distress of King Richard and all her household her disorder increased so rapidly that she departed this life at the Feast of Whitson tide 1394. the king and all Who Loved Her were greatly Afflicted at her death King Richard was inconsolable for her loss as they mutually loved each other having been married young this queen left no issue for she never bore a child Anna Bohemia died at her favorite Palace of Sheen the King was with her when she expired he had never given her a rival she appears to have possessed his whole heart which was rent by the most acute sorrow at this sudden loss of his faithful partner who was in fact his only friend in the frenzy of his grief Richard imprecated the bitterest curses on the place of her death and unable to Bear the sight of the place where he had passed his only happy hours with this beloved and virtuous Queen he ordered the Palace of Sheen to be leveled with the ground the Deep tone of Richard's grief is apparent even in the summons sent by him to the English peers requiring their attendance to do honor to the Magnificent obsequies he had prepared for his lost consort his letters on this occasion are in existence and are addressed to each of his Barons in this style very dear and faithful cousin inasmuch as our beloved companion the queen whom God has hence commanded will be buried at Westminster on Monday the 3rd of August next we earnestly entreat that you setting aside all excuses Will Repair to our city of London the Wednesday previous to the same day bringing with you our very dear kinswoman your consort at the same time we desire that you will the preceding day accompany the corpse of our dear consort from our manner of Sheen to Westminster and for this we trust we may rely on you as you desire our honor and that of our kingdom given under our privy seal at Westminster

We Gather from this document that Anne's body was brought from Sheen in great procession the Wednesday before the 3rd of August attended by all the nobility of England male and female likewise by the citizens and authorities of London all clothed in black with black hoods and on the 3rd of August the queen was interred abundance of wax was sent for from Flanders for Flambeau and torches and the illumination was so great that nothing was seen like it before not even at the burial of the good Queen Philippa the king would have it so because she was the daughter of the emperor of Rome and Germany the most memorable and interesting circumstance at the burial of Anna Bohemia is the fact that Thomas Arundel afterwards Archbishop of Canterbury who preached her funeral sermon in the course of it greatly commended the queen for reading the holy scriptures in the vulgar tongue Richard's grief was as long enduring as it was acute one year elapsed before he had devised the species of Monument he thought worthy the memory of his beloved Anne yet his expressions of tenderness regarding her pervaded his Covenant with the London artificers employed to erect this tomb he took with all the extraordinary step of having his own Monumental statue made to Repose by Battle of the queen with the hands of the Effigies classed in each other the tomb of Anne was commenced in 1395. the indentures descriptive of its form are to be found in the federa the marble part of the monument was consigned to the care of Stephen loet Citizen and Mason of London and Henry yuvel his partner in the document alluded to above occur these remarkable words and also inscriptions are to be Graven upon the tomb such as will be delivered proper for it the actual inscription is in Latin the sentiments are tender and elegant and the words probably composed by the king himself as it enters into the personal and mental qualifications of Anne like one who knew and loved her the Latin commences Etc the following is a literal translation under the stone lies Anna here entombed wedded in this world's life to the second Richard to Christ were her Meek virtues devoted his poor she freely fed from her Treasures Strife she is sewaged and swelling feuds appeased beauteous and form her face surpassing Fair on July 7th Day 1394 All Comfort was bereft for through irredeemable sickness she passed away into Eternal joys Richard departed for Ireland soon after the burial of Anne but his heart was still bleeding for the loss of his Queen and though her want of progeny was one of the principal causes of the Troubles of his Reign he mourned for her with the utmost constancy of affection frequently when he was in his Council chamber at Dublin if anything accidentally recalled her to his thoughts he would burst into tears rise and suddenly leave the room the year of her death says walzingham was notable for splendid funerals Constance Duchess of Lancaster a lady of great innocency of Life died then and her daughter-in-law the co-heiris of Herford wife of Henry a bowling broke and mother of his children died in the bloom of life she was followed to the tomb by Isabelle Duchess of York second daughter of Pedro the cruel a lady noted for her over fineness and delicacy yet at her death showing much penitence for her pestilent vanities but the grief for all these deaths by no means equal that of the king for his own Queen Anne whom he loved even to Madness the people of England likewise deeply regretted this benign and peace-loving queen and long hallowed her memory by the simple yet expressive appellation of good Queen Anne end of section 23. end of lies of the queens of England Volume 2 by Agnes and Elizabeth Strickland

God Won't 🚫 Approve THIS #Shorts
here's what God will never approve and it's actually good he doesn't when Jesus called the Rich Young Ruler he told him to sell all he had when the Lord called the disciples he told them to pick up their cross when Jesus invited someone to follow him he demanded that they forsake all for his name's sake Abraham left his home Elisha burned the plow Jesus himself sweat drops of blood in the garden praying nevertheless not my will but your will be done when we follow Jesus God will not approve our plans in the place of his will it's not about our dreams and Ambitions or our hopes and cravings when we commit to follow Jesus it's all about his will It's All or Nothing

The Stunning Sinis Peninsula - Campervan Road Trip Sardinia
then eternity analogical aspecto reality man Topher English lessness welcome back to X Explorer radio join us this week as we continue heading south on the west coast of Sardinia exploring the Sini's Peninsula at all of its natural beauty and Britain my heart I'm like a river that's all the flood you know it the Lester we are let me speak the truth I know you don't want to face it you think it's your name but I can see you pastor Walter we begin today's vlog in seclusion in a remote spot five kilometres down a dirt track a tour a punter for game [Music] on fire we spent a few days on our own with the company of another farm dog that we affectionately called cracker due to a love for cheesy biscuits [Music] after running low on water and food we had to leave this amazing spot we made our way to the ruins of cast a duet [Music] Oliver I see the smoke in the liver [Music] for hots blood in the bloody cobwebs off I think it sweated them off more than anything we've been set in tree for a couple days it's always nice to get outdoors and go and hike and just get some fresh air in your lungs but I think choosing to do it in the middle of the day's Sun polyMet the best choice yeah we wanted the exercise and we kind of knew wouldn't let me come back here so yeah we took we took the ball body ond and we're baking a little bit we have got some cream on though Oh a lot of Sun cream it is a steep walk up to this castle but it's quite short so I was all topped up gonna come out beautifully cold out of the well and it kind of shocked you because we haven't had proper chilled water in a while it was so so nice like yeah comes to something when you're excited about bloody well water but hey ho it's very very welcome and it's doing quite a good job in our little chilly flask job' yeah very nice it so we've been out on the open road for a few weeks now and we can happily report that we are back feeling more confident than ever yeah I think so that anxiety of driving through small towns and getting out to fill our water go shopping is all just come on hike it's kind of dissipated we're still being sensible obviously everyone here still wear masks were me too and social distancing but the fear of being a tourist or essentially a foreigner in another country during a pandemic that sort of at least for now is dissipated and what makes ed I think we're feeling sort of more chill than ever yeah really relaxed really confident and just are we back on it but in the best way ever it's amazing it's just a shame that we've got to head home for you soon because we've got like a new lease of life I think in a weird way the lockdown sort of gave us time to as assess what we've done really take a big long break from travelling because it does really get a little bit tiring yeah I don't think you appreciate moving every day and seeing all the beautiful things that we've seen along the roads yeah you can't like take it all in and appreciate it yeah and I think even putting passion into making our videos I think now we've come back on the road I'm really keen to film as much as possible if just for our memories more than sharing it but I've got like a rekindled desire to film it and do a good job and just make these memories into something that will look back on in years to come and just sort of restock the fire yeah and I think Sardinia will forever be that place where the fires been reignited yeah anyway enough for us let's get on with our day we haven't really planned very much to be there but that's not like us we've got a nice Beach in mind for later maybe an epic sunset maybe a little sunset moment later and we're probably gonna need to have a swim actually because it's rather warm we're reaching low 30s I think today already the Vans a little bit stifling in the cab but with the windows down you could just better take the edge off as long as you're moving yeah so let's get a roll on and see what else there is to see [Music] so we've made it to South Cape - it's a lot more touristy and busy than we had imagined it so this might be a little bit of a quick little have a look II sit on the beach for a minute and then find a spot that's a little bit more secluded and quiet because we're just not used to this we managed to find a less crowded spot and couldn't resist cooling off I think it's time to take a dip kal are you gonna be jumping from fear off the top of a cave probably a double backflip to swan dive but I would rather just watch watch me yeah me too I'll just I'll crawl in this way nice this is prime snorkeling territory pity we left it in the van [Music] [Applause] [Music] so that was busy but very refreshing I'm very glad we both got in and the water was so clear it's ridiculous but now it's off to find a campsite for tonight a campsite camping spot probably wild I've got a couple in mind but we'll see what we find when we get there I'm hoping for something wild on top of the cliffs for a sunset moment like I said before but we'll see you can never really tell what you're gonna get on part four night so we'll go and check it out a 20-minute drive transported us to another exceptional Wild Park up the beauty of this island is unreal it just doesn't seem to end [Music] it is not long till sunset so I'm gonna get crackin and we'll have a bit of a evening dinner with sunset moment of my even crack open little gin or something [Applause] [Music] [Applause] so there we have it just in time for the sunset as a pretty quick preparation of the dinner on your part well done mm-hmm the Sun was setting very quick so a little bit of a rush but absolutely lovely here as I'm sure Meg zari said very pleasant spot Cheers do excuse us while we good morning we had a very restful sleep here we weren't moved on or anything which I was slightly concerned about but it's been a really really lovely spot spent the night here all on our own pretty much both I've got area I've got a few neighbors this morning but now we're gonna go have morning coffee on the rocks next to the water [Music] this town what a way to start a day a was about 20 odd degrees already bit of a breeze but another stunning view crystal-clear water we might get in later Meg's got the smoke already and we're charging the GoPro so might want to make the most of it but there are a few sea urchins again and it's a bit rocky down there so we'll have to see what happens but today's gonna be pretty chilled out got some shopping to do because quite low on rations and then we're going to visit some more beaches and do some more wild camping hopefully like I said we're really just in the groove of the minute just really relaxed and enjoying it but I love you have noticed that in the comments is that how relaxed and chilled we are in northern Aaron it's just just isn't it well it's you know [Music] right that packed up and ready let's go and explore the sinners Peninsula it's rock and roll [Music] we stopped off at Maddy at one of the top beaches on the island but as you can see it was far too busy at this point we realized it was a Sunday a sunny Sunday is not the day to explore top attractions instead we headed down the coast a few more miles to the next one another popular beach spiaggia de Zarate us we managed to find a spot on the rocks where we could safely social distance from the crowds on the white sand beach we came prepared this time with the snorkel and the GoPro in the heat of the midday Sun we bathed in the turquoise water [Music] so we left that uber busy Beach a couple of hours ago and we've driven down a dirt track a couple of minutes maybe up to ten to find a more wild and quieter and more importantly free car park which we have managed to find and it's a couple of hours later now and it's clearing out we've kind of just sat and had a little siesta didn't we love ya kind of didn't do much all we did have grand plans but kind of been zonked I think the sun's taking out of us we had a bit of a swim earlier and we're just hoping that we can stay here it's sort of like this is definitely a lot more trickier to get to there's a lot of people down here but I assume they don't charge because this is more out of the way there's no signs prohibiting camping for I can see and there are no vans here I mean granted a lot of me heading home but it is Sunday evening so you know well they just going back so the beach is right there and I'm sure we'll explore that in the morning before we leave I've had an idea actually should we get up for sunrise or early and get this beach with no one on it because it is beautiful it's what time so right it's white sand and sea pearls they're like tiny weeny little pebbles it might be quite nice because the last few mornings has been very hot the wakes us up now I'm up we're not being the early risers I would buy my mother ate half ate just cuz I can't take the heat after I'm to do the windows and just get some I mean we could be doing more I think keep the phone cooler but we have been suffering that the skiers for last couple nights so it's not really worth the effort yeah so we will see you tomorrow morning if we can get our butts out of bed early enough tomorrow should be a good day we're hoping to do some touristic things if they're open if it's safe to do so and just explore a bit more of this like Peninsula engaged and great so far I mean Sardinia just just is in it yeah just a few more tourists this week which is very strange [Applause] [Music] good morning it is 6:30 that's the Sun but we didn't quite yeah I didn't quite get up to sunrise because it looked a little bit miserable but we're up now it's a lot earlier than we normally would and it looks rather stunning [Music] it didn't look this beautiful at six o'clock this morning so I'm quite glad we hit the snooze button but I'm glad we got up look huge [Music] as a treat for getting up so early I've made us some fried breakfast I know we said we've got vegetarian but we were having good cravings for some meat so I bought some sausage that were on special so I got bit of sausage fried egg and some bread but the plates are in the washing up from the other night so it's involved so it's just been really lazy plus we want to try and get to a Roman ruin for about nine o'clock and it's only half or seven at the moment so I don't even know what's going on good grief that breakfast was lovely Megan what don't call me Megan that's not my name right so we are plumbing in the coordinates to get to the Roman ruins and I just hope that we don't fall asleep because that breakfast has absolutely wiped me out I've gone very lethargic Howard did a bit of research Sardinians and it's aliens in general don't really do breakfast they just do coffee have a big lunch with assess there and then something like for dents like that for dinner or two which at the moment we're really starting to struggle with the heat of an evening and the mosquitoes the doors need to be sure and is literally like salads and like antipasti platters isn't it so we just turn two and a half big sausages each and egg and some bread and I'm really fast we're not used to waking up early either so it's all better the body just doesn't know what's going on today but we're looking forward to it and yeah just see what happens the sinners peninsula is a wild and natural landscape an unspoiled eaten full of wildlife with a protected marine area and archaeological marvels to the south the narrow strip of land known as capo san marco stretches out into the Gulf of our Astana it's a top spot for water sports and flamingos spotting [Music] so we've parked up and we're about to go and check it out Pharaoh's prepare for another Meggie history lesson let's go Paris was founded by the finishings at the end of the 8th century BC it became one of the most important cities in Sardinia even today you can witness the Roman basalt pavements and ruins of the public buildings in the last century English and French archaeologists have excavated the site some of the artifacts discovered from Arras can be found in the British Museum in London well that's a relief we've just come back up this hill because we noticed this huge amount of smoke coming out from what felt like very close to our van we were having palpitations thinking there was the whole van on fire but that wasn't nice feeling was it for a few seconds so I don't know if you can see the fires just about here and the van is there so I'm hoping it's a controlled burn I think it is but that was kind of a horrible feeling for a minute or two wasn't it it's that we've done is safe but there's still that horrible feeling that yes so it's a very interesting trip around Paris but now Cowell has demanded that we'll take a dip which it probably only about harpist em but it's very very warm today don't you spot down there [Music] I don't know about you but I am absolutely sick and tired of seeing beautiful beach after beautiful beach after beautiful beach is that all sod then here is well no because Meg's brought me to somewhere rather special sand salvitore it used to be a fishing village back in the day but since the 1960s there's been a creation of quite a few single-story little houses that have been used in numerous Spaghetti Westerns over the years so let's go have a look yeah I just hope that this town is big enough for the both of us I don't even know where that reference is from San Salvatore has been the set for Arizonian and New Mexico villages and most famously featured in the 1968 film garter Colt in September the village celebrates the barefoot race coarser deer scallop this is a place you can visit for absolutely free I think you just got to be cautious of not annoying the locals but look how look how cute and quaint it is [Music] and as if by magic we are back where we started this morning back at the lovely beach there's not that many wild camping spots in this little vicinity so soon so we found a good one we thought it may as well come back to it hitting civilization tomorrow the next few days so we're gonna probably stop vlogging and just take a few days off family so it feels like a good place to wrap it up today I'm really just tired as when we go to sleep I'm not sure if that's fully due to the early wake-up call we've been swimming a couple times today and like the last few days have been really good but just ready for a bit of a siesta for a couple days so we've listened to all of your lovely comments on our last video which was a slightly longer one so I think this one will be edited in a longer format the last two or three have been really jam-packed Shane get the staff around it lots more Sardinia to see to cram in over the next month or so hopefully fingers crossed and which is loving it I'm pretty sure we said earlier on this video a couple days ago how chilled out and relaxed and how much we're enjoying it at the moment and we just want to continue but yeah so thanks for watching if you haven't subscribed already what are you doing and make sure you press that Bell button thanks for watching it once again and we'll see you in the next one [Music]

coming up in this episode as far back as time is recorded mankind kind has had a fascination with Sirius the dog star but what is so special about it aside from the fact that it's one of the brightest stars in our sky might there be an extraterrestrial connection as well UFO reports come in constantly to police stations and online websites dedicated to the subject of euphology practically on a daily basis and many sightings are by people you'd consider above reproach such as law enforcement scientists military numerous sightings by airline pilots but when you head out into space and see a UFO as is what happens with astronauts reports that's something you take a much closer look at Jimmy log left his wife after only 2 years of marriage without first getting divorced he married another woman whom he badly mistreated so she left him but he had already started an affair with her sister so he married her next now on his third wife he abused her as well he was also a career criminal spending half his life living off The Spoils of his thievery the other half Behind Bars when caught so it probably comes as no surprise that he was suspect number one when his third wife was found murdered But first you probably saw the title of this episode and immediately thought what well I'm going to tell you one of the most ridiculous stories I've ever heard that is supposedly 100% true

[Music] propaganda misinformation fake news call it what you like there are many reasons this kind of meddling in foreign affairs is still still so common but the primary reason is that it works both at home and abroad misinformation campaigns are why some people think carrots are good for vision or that a human trafficking ring was run out of a DC Pizza Joint if those stories sound absurd strap in for a blast from the past as the Axis powers of World War II try to kill everyone's favorite Lake Monster World War II was arguably the Apex of propaganda and information campaigns Every Nation fighting the war used propaganda at home and abroad to further their War aims either as a means to Rally the populace behind the war effort or to demoralize the enemy all it took was a little bit of knowledge about the enemy and a whopping lie to take the wind out of their sails before the Allied invasion of Sicily in 1943 a female radio announcer who broadcast swing music and demoralizing messages from Berlin told members of the 54th parachute Infantry Regiment that they were jumping into a trap and they'd all die the troops actually loved the put on of axis Sally as she came to be called but it was for the music not the message the Axis powers attempted to exert influence on enemy populations as well as their own Nazi propaganda Minister Joseph Gobles wrote in 1940 that the Loch Ness monster was just a madeup thing designed to boost tourism revenues in a German newspaper he cited The Lochness Monster as a reason the people of the United Kingdom were weak the loch nest monster has been a crypto Zoological and biological mystery since as far back as 1933 when reports of a strange creature of Unknown Origin size or shape began coming coming from the luck if the people of England and Scotland were dumb enough to believe that there was a dinosaur swimming around their Lake goal reasoned to the German people they were too dumb to win the war Bonito musolini the dictator of fascist Italy took the anti- lake monster rhetoric to a new level in the newspaper Apollo de Italia he published The Story of an Italian pilot on a bombing run across the UK in 1941 he claimed the pilot had dropped his bombs into the lake and hit none other than Nessie herself he even saw the body float to the surface before flying off not to be outdone the story was picked up by Allied newspapers in the British Commonwealth specifically Australia's the daily male who rewrote the story as a joke of monumental proportions they even printed a counter story Nessie according to the Daily Mail not only survived the attack but was now considered a war hero to boot according to the story local J McFarland Barrow and his son were walking along the lock one day after the alleged bombing and saw the monster swimming away at high speed confidently shrugging off the access attack Keep Calm and Carry On Jimmy log was a professional Thief whose Life Of Crime spanned more than 40

began to search for Joanna and even placed an advertisement in Philadelphia newspapers offering a reward of $500 for information as to her whereabouts he thought that she'd run off with Peter Burns and traveled to Denver looking for them Joanna's brother Peter gayan believed that log's actions were all for show to hide the fact that he had murdered Joanna log was arrested again for robbery and disappeared after serving his sentence nothing more was thought about Joanna's disappearance until 1893 when workmen were doing repairs to the kitchen of 1250 North 11th Street and they Unearthed the skeleton of a woman under the floorboards around the bones of a finger was a wedding ring inscribed JL to JL police soon learned that 14 years earlier the house belonged to Jimmy love L and his wife Joanna who disappeared in 1879 Joanna's sister Ella sides and brother Peter gayan identified the skull by some peculiar formations of the teeth and were also able to identify other objects found with the body a handkerchief was tied around the neck of the skeleton the police believed that Joanna had been strangled suspicion naturally fell on Jimmy log and the Philadelphia police began a man hunt on the evening of March 5th 1895 an old man stopped at the house of Philadelphia coroner ashbridge when ashbridge answered the door the man said I am log James log and I want to give myself up as I understand there is a warrant out for me log had spent at least eight of the intervening years in prison he said he'd been in Chicago when he learned of the warrant and returned to Philadelphia as soon as he could get some money the coroner took log to the Station House where he was formally arrested the police decided to keep the arrest secret so they booked him as William Casey and held him on the sixth floor of the city hall the newspapers soon learned that the mysterious prisoner on the sixth floor was none other than Jimmy log charged with murdering his wife log denied murdering Joanna and gave the police a detailed account of his trip to Boston including hotels where he and Mason stayed and A theater where he saw the play Robinson cruso while in Boston the police were skeptical until detectives went to several hotels and found their signatures on hotel registers and verified that Robin Caruso was playing in Boston in February 1879 Jimmy log's Alibi was true alons CER became the prime suspect in johanna's murder Detective traced Joanna's jewels to him and it was learned that around the time of her death he had melted gold and silver in crucibles and sold the product under questioning CER tried to pin the murder on log the story was not believed and questioning continued until he admitted log knew nothing of Joanna's death CER then made a confession of sorts he said that on the night of February 22nd 1879 he found Joanna drunk fearing she might go back to New York where log would beat and abuse her he carried her upstairs put her on the bed with her clothes on then tied her feet in hands and wrapped a clothes line around her body he left her there and went downstairs when he returned he found that she had rolled over on her face and smothered under the bolster he was afraid to tell anyone what had happened so he took her watch and jewels then hid the body under under the floorboards in the kitchen in April 1896 alons F CER was tried for killing Joanna log he was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to hang but in June 1897 C's Advocates convinced the Board of Pardons to commute his sentence to life in prison when Weir Darkness Returns as far back as time is recorded mankind has had a fascination with Sirius the dog star but what is so special about it aside from the fact that it's one of the brightest stars in our sky might there be an extraterrestrial connection as well we'll look into it up [Music] next winter has Louisville and its grip and former FBI agent Dallas Powell has his hands full with car trouble cat trouble and trying to keep the Derby City branch of True Blood investigations and security Inc solvent when a juicy insurance job comes his way he jumps at it but the discovery of a decades old murder spawns a veritable blizzard of violence and Dallas finds himself right in its path Winter Wonderland a Dallas Powell Mystery by T Lee Harris narrated by Darren Marler here a free sample on the audiobooks page at weird darkness.com [Music] since ancient times and across multiple civilizations Sirius the dog star has been surrounded with a mysterious lore esoteric teachings of all ages have invariably attributed to sirius a special status and the star's importance in occult symbolism is an adastation of that fact what makes Sirus so special is it simply due to the fact that it is the brightest star in the sky or is it also because Humanity has an ancient mysterious connection with it we're about to look at the importance of Sirus throughout history and secret societies and we'll describe the symbolism surrounding it Sirius is located in the constellation kenis major also known as the big dog and is therefore known as the dog star it's over 20 times brighter than our sun and is twice as massive at nighttime Sirius is the brightest star in the sky and its blue white glare never failed to amaze stargazers since the dawn of time no wonder Sirius has been revered by practically all civilizations but is there more to sirius than meets the eye artifacts of ancient civilizations have revealed that Sirius was of great importance in astronomy mythology and occultism Mystery Schools consider it to be sun behind the Sun and therefore the true source of our son's potency if our Sun's warmth keeps the physical world alive Sirius is considered to keep the spiritual World alive it is the real light shining in the East the spiritual light whereas the sun illuminates the physical world which is considered to be a grand illusion associating Sirius with the Divine and even considering it as the home of Humanity's great teachers is not only embedded in the mythology of a few primitive civilizations it is a widespread belief that has survived and even intensified to this day we'll look at the importance of Sirius in ancient times analy its prominence in secret societies and will examine these esoteric Concepts as their Translate in popular culture it was revered as saus and was associated with Iris the mother goddess of Egyptian mythology Isis is the female aspect of the Trinity formed by herself Osiris and their son Horus ancient Egyptians held Sirius in such high regard that most of their deities were associated in some way or another with the star Anubis the dog-headed god of death had an obvious connection with the dog star and Toth Hermes the great teacher of humanity was also esoterically connected with the star the Egyptian calendar system was based on the heliacal rising of Sirius that occurred just before the annual flooding of the Nile during summer the star's Celestial movement was also observed and revered by ancient Greeks Sumerians Babylonians and countless other civilizations the star was there for considered sacred and its Apparition in the sky was accompanied with feasts and celebrations the dog star heralded the coming of the hot and dry days of July and August hence the popular term the dog days of summer several occult researchers have claimed that the Great Pyramid of Giza was built in perfect alignment with the Stars especially Sirius the light from these Stars was said to be used in ceremony of Egyptian Mysteries this ancient people the Egyptians knew that once every year the parent son is in line with the dog star therefore the Great Pyramid was so constructed that at this sacred moment the light of the dog star fell upon the square Stone of God at the upper end of the great Gallery descending upon the head of the high priest who received the super Solar Force and sought through his own perfected solar body to transmit to other initiates this added stimulation for the evolution of their godhood this then was the purpose of the stone of God whereon in the ritual Osiris sits to bestow upon him the illuminate the at crown or Celestial light north and south of that Crown is love proclaims an Egyptian hymn and thus throughout the teaching of Egypt the visible light was but the shadow of the invisible light and in the wisdom of of the ancient country the measures of Truth were the years of the most high recent scientific discoveries relating to the Great Pyramid and its mysterious air shafts have led researchers to further confirm the importance of Sirius within the pyramid a fascinating aspect of Sirius is the consistency of the symbolism and meanings attached to it several great civilizations have indeed Associated Sirus with a doglike figure and viewed the star as either the source or the destination of a mysterious force in Chinese and Japanese astronomy Sirius is known as the star of the celestial wolf several Aboriginal tribes of North America referred to the star in canine terms the Siri and Toano o Adam tribes of the Southwest describe the Sirius as a dog that follows mountain sheep while the Blackfoot call it dogf face the Cherokee paired Sirius with anteras as a dog star guardian of the path of souls the wolf or skidy tribe of Nebraska knew it as the Wolf star while other branches knew it as the coyote star further north the Alaskan Inuit of the bearing Strait called it moond dog in 1971 the American author Robert Temple published a controversial book entitled the serious mystery where he claimed that the doans an ancient African tribe from Mali knew details about Sirius that would be impossible to be known without the use of telescopes according to him the Doon understood the binary nature of Sirius which is in fact composed of two stars named Sirius a and Sirius B this led Robert Temple to believe that the doans had Direct connections with beings from Sirus while some might say you can't be serious sorry a great number of secret societies who have historically held within their ranks some of the world's most influential people and belief systems teach about a Mystic connection between Sirus and Humanity in his book The sirious Mystery new scientific evidence of alien contact 5,000 years ago which I have linked to on Amazon in the show notes Robert Temple reveals the connection between the serious star system and the secret traditions of an African tribe in Doan mythology humanity is said to have been born from the Namo a race of amphibians who were inhabitants of a planet circling Sirius they're said to have ascended from the sky in a vessel accompanied by fire and thunder and imparted to humans profound knowledge this led Robert Temple to theorize that the nomos were extraterrestrial inhabitants of Sirius who traveled to Earth at some point in the distant past to to teach ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians and doans about the Syria star system as well as our own solar system these civilizations would then record the nomos teachings in their religions and make them a central focus of their Mysteries the doon's mythology system is strikingly similar to the ones of other civilizations such as the samarians Egyptians Israelites and Babylonians as it includes the archetypal myth of a great teacher from above depending on the civilization this great teacher is known as Enoch tho or Hermes Tri megistus and is said to have taught Humanity thic Sciences in ult Traditions it's believed that tho Hermes had taught the people of Atlantis which according to Legend became the world's most advanced civilization before the entire continent was submerged by the great delu accounts of a flood can be can be found in the mythologies of countless civilizations survivors from Atlantis traveled by boat to several countries including Egypt where they imparted their Advanced knowledge occultists believe that the inexplicable resemblances between distant civilizations such as the Mayas and the Egyptians can be explained by their common contact with atlantans was the religious philosophic and scientific knowledge possessed by the priest crafts of antiquity secured from Atlantis whose submergence obliterated every vestage of its part in the drama of world progress Atlantean Sun worship has been perpetuated in the ritualism and ceremonialism of both Christianity and paganomation emblems of divine wisdom the Divine Atlantean progenitors of the Mayas and kiches of Central America coexisted with the green and Azure Radiance of gimat the the plumed serpent the six skyborn sages came into manifestation as centers of light bound together or synthesized by the seventh and chief of their order The Feathered snake the title of winged or plumed snake was applied to quel codal or kakan the Central American initiate the center of the Atlantean wisdom religion was presumably a great pyramidal Temple standing on the BR of a plateau rising in the midst of the city of the golden gates from here the initiate Priests of the Sacred feather went forth carrying the keys of universal wisdom to the uttermost parts of the Earth from the atlantans the world has received not only the heritage of arts and crafts philosophies and Sciences ethics and religions but also the heritage of hate strife and perversion the atlanteans instigated the first war and it's been said that all subsequent wars were fought in a fruitless effort to justify the first one and write the wrong which it caused before Atlantis sank its spiritually illuminated initiates who realized that their land was doomed because it had departed from the path of light withdrew from the ill-fated continent carrying with them the sacred and secret Doctrine these atlantans established themselves in Egypt where they became its first divine rulers nearly all the great cosmological myths forming the foundation of the various sacred books of the world are based upon the Atlantean mystery rituals according to Manley P hall in his book The Secret teachings of all ages which I have placed the Amazon link to in the show notes is th Hermes Tri magistus the equivalent of the doans nomos who are believed to originate from Sirius ancient texts concerning Hermes describ describe him as a teacher of mysteries Who Came From The Stars furthermore th Hermes was directly connected with Sirius in Egyptian mythology the dog star the star worshiped in Egypt and reverenced by the occultists by the former because its hcal Rising with the sun was a sign of the beneficient inundation of the Nile and the latter because it is mysteriously associated with Toth Hermes god of wisdom and mercury in another form thus saus Sirius had and still has a Mystic and direct influence over the whole living heaven and is connected with almost every god and goddess it was Isis in the heaven and called Isis sthus for Isis was in the constellation of the dog as is declared on her monuments being connected with the pyramid Sirius was therefore connected with the initiations which took place in it the trism magistic Treatise the virgin of the world from Egypt refers to the black right connected with the black Osiris as the highest degree of secret initiation possible in the ancient Egyptian religion it is the ultimate secret of the mysteries of Isis this Treatise says Hermes came to Earth to teach men civilization and then again mounted to the stars going back to his home and leaving behind the mystery religion of Egypt with its Celestial Secrets which were someday to be decoded according to Robert Temple the serious mystery interpreting the mythology of ancient cultures is not an exact science and connections are inherently difficult to prove however the symbolic link between serious and occult knowledge has constantly appeared throughout history and has seamlessly traveled through the ages in fact it is as revered today as it was Millen ago modern secret societies such as the Freemasons the rosac crucians and the Golden Dawn which are considered to be hermetic orders due to the fact their teachings are based on those of Hermes tragus all attribute to sirius the utmost importance an educated look at their symbolism provides a glimpse of the profound connection between Sirius and occultic philosophy to claim the Sirus is important to hermetic orders would be a gross understatement the dog star is nothing less than the central focus of the teachings and symbolism of secret societies the ultimate proof of this fact many secret societies are actually named after the star in the tarot the 17th numbered major Trump is called lwo French for the star and portrays a young girl kneeling with one foot in water and the other on land her body somewhat suggesting the swasa she has two urns the contents of which she pours upon the land and sea above the girl's head are eight Stars one of which is exceptionally large and bright count dealin considers the great star to be saus or Sirius the other seven are the sacred planets of the Ancients he believes the female figure to be Isis in the act of causing the inundations of the Nile which accompanied the rising of the dog star the unclothed figure of Isis May well signify that nature does not receive her Garment of verdur until the rising of the Nile Waters releases the germinal life of plants and flowers in Freemasonry in Masonic lodges Sirius is known as the Blazing star and a simple look at its prominence in Masonic symbolism reveals its utmost importance the Masonic author William Hutchinson wrote about Sirius it is the first and most exalted object that demands our attention in the lodge the same way the light of Sirius made its way into the Great Pyramid during initiations it is symbolically present in Masonic lodges the ancient astronomers saw all the great symbols of masonry in the Stars serious Glitters in our lodges as the Blazing star according to Albert Pike in his book morals and Dogma the Blazing star originally represented Sirius or the dog star the Forerunner of the inundation of the Nile the god Anubis companion of Isis in her search for the body of Osiris her brother and husband then it became the image of Horus the son of Osiris himself symbolized also by the son the author of the seasons and the god of time son of Isis who was the universal nature himself the Primitive matter inexhaustible Source of Life spark of uncreated fire Universal seed of all beings it was Hermes also the master of learning whose name in Greek is that of the god mercury in Freemasonry it's taught that the Blazing star is a symbol of deity or omnipresence the Creator is present everywhere and of omniscience the Creator sees and knows all Sirius is therefore the sacred place all Masons must Ascend to it's the source of divine power and the destination of divine individuals this concept is often represented in Masonic art to achieve Perfection the initiate must successfully understand and internalize the Dual nature of the world good and evil masculine and feminine black and white Etc through alchemical metamorphosis this concept is symbolically represented by the union of Osiris and Isis the male and female principles to give birth to Horus the star child the Christlike figure the perfected man of Freemasonry who was equated with the Blazing star the Egyptian hieroglyph representing Sirius has been esoterically interpreted to be a representation of this Cosmic Trinity this concept is so crucial for Freemasons that it was embedded in some of the most important structures in the world as stated by Albert Pike previously the Egyptian god Horus and the star Sirius are often associated in Masonic symbolism the Eye of Horus or the allseeing eye is often depicted surrounded by the glittering light of Sirius Helena batky and Alice Bailey the two main figures associated with theosophy have both considered Sirius to be a source of esoteric power latsky stated that the star Sirius exerts a Mystic and direct influence over the entire living heaven and is linked with every great religion of antiquity Alice Bailey sees the dog Star as the true Great White Lodge and believes it to be the home of the spiritual hierarchy for this reason she considers Sirius as the star of initiation this is the great star of initiation because our hierarchy an expression of the second aspect of divinity is under the supervision or spiritual magnetic control of the hierarchy of Sirius these are the major controlling influences whereby the cosmic Christ Works upon the Christ principle in the solar system in the planet in man and in the lower forms of life expression it is esoterically called the brilliant star of sensitivity according to Alice Bailey in esoteric astrology not unlike many esoteric writers Bailey considers Sirus to have a great impact on human life all that can be done here in dealing with this profound subject is to enumerate briefly some of the cosmic influences which definitely affect our Earth and produce results in the consciousness of men everywhere and which during the process of initiation brings about certain specific phenomena first and foremost is the energy or Force emanating from the Sun serus if it might be so Express the energy of thought or mind force in its totality reaches the solar system from a distant Cosmic Center via Sirius Sirius acts as the transmitter or the focalizing center when eminates those influen es which produce self-consciousness in man Alice Bailey initiation human and solar so from the dawn of civilization to modern times from remote tribes of Africa to the great capitals of the modern world Sirius was and still is seen as a lifegiver despite the disparity between cultures and epochs the same mysterious attributes are given to the dog star which can lead us to ask how can all these definitions synchronize so perfectly is there a common source to these myths about Sirius the dog star is invariably associated with divinity and is regarded as a source of knowledge and power these connections are particularly evident when one examines the teachings and the symbolism of secret societies who have always taught about the mystical link with this particular Celestial body is is there a secret link between human advancement and Sirus unlocking this secret would mean unlocking one of Humanity's greatest [Music] Mysteries up next UFO reports come in constantly to police stations and online sites dedicated to the subject of euphology practically on a daily basis and many sightings are by people you'd consider above reproach such as law enforcement scientists military numerous sightings by airline pilots but when you head out into space and see a UFO as is what happens with astronauts reports that's something you take a much closer look at and that's what we'll do when weird Darkness Returns [Music] say ho ho [Music] ho I was waiting and waiting and it has finally hit the website built bar now has my absolute favorite flavor available for the holiday season

like [Music] [Applause] Christmas unexplained aerial phenomena have been reported over the years by many intelligent and credible people including police officers scientists astronomers military personnel pilots and even astronauts for instance during the first American orbital flight in February 1962 Astronaut John Glenn piloting the Mercury capsule saw three objects follow and then overtake him at varying speeds Glenn then observed what he called glowing snowflakes or fireflies that swirled around his Capsule NASA officials surmised that the fireflies were bits of ice that had become detached from the sides of the capsule later Mercury astronauts also reported the same phenomena radioing back to NASA that more fireflies could be produced when they tapped on the side of the capsule 3 years later in June 1965 as James mcdot on Gemini 4 photographed and filmed a cylindrical-shaped object with an antenna likee extension mcdot said the object was silvery in appearance and was approximately 10 Mi away it looked like a beer can with a pencil sticking out of it at an angle mcdot described after Splashdown the film was sent from the carrier to be processed when the NASA photo interpreter released three or four pictures of the UFO a few days later mcdot stated that the quality of the photo was so bad that it failed to reproduce what he had seen NORAD suggested that the object might have been a satellite called Pegasus which was 12200 M away at the time even though the object mcdot had cited appeared to be much closer then during December's Gemini 7 flight astronauts Jim Lovel and Frank Borman radioed mission control that they had a bogey in sight as well as many illuminated particles nasza suggested that the Bogi and particles were fragments from the launching of Gemini 7 but this is impossible if they were traveling in a different orbit from Gemini 7 as the astronauts described in 1966 during the flight of Gemini 10 two red glowing objects captured the attention of astronauts John Young and Michael Collins as they circled the Earth they adventured further into space than any other human at the time and suddenly both astronauts were amazed to see that two glowing objects now occupy the same orbital path as themselves the official verdict attributed the objects to space junk discarded from an unmanned Saturn rocket that had been launched earlier that month but the astronauts were adamant that these were not stars and it's difficult to imagine how a man-made device could maneuver in the erratic way the objects did when they suddenly left orbit and quickly disappeared from sight because of The Unwanted media attention generated by the Gemini UFO reports NASA instructed its astronauts to never use words such as bogey or UFO if they cited something unidentified instead they were to use the code word Santa Claus when informing mission control of unusual activity around their capsules additionally mission control stopped allowing the networks to hear live broadcasts from the astronauts instead they initiated a five second tape delay possibly to quickly prevent astronauts from accidentally broadcasting any unexpected UFO Encounters this edict came just in time for the Apollo missions to the Moon where both astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldren supposedly saw UFOs shortly after their historic landing on the moon in July of 1969 according to former NASA employee Auto binder unnamed radio hams who bypassed NASA's broadcasting Outlets picked up this message from Apollo 11 these babies are huge sir enormous oh God you wouldn't believe it I'm telling you there are other spacecraft out here lined up on the far side of the crater Edge they're on the moon watching us these stories were repeated in various UFO magazines but it was not verified until 1979 when Maurice chatlain senior engineer for NASA contractor North American Aviation confirmed that Armstrong had indeed reported seeing two UFOs on the rim of a crater the encounter was common knowledge in NASA in fact all Apollo and Gemini flights were followed by space vehicles of Unknown Origin every time it occurred the astronauts informed Mission Control who then ordered absolute silence the late astronaut Leroy Gordon Gordo Cooper Jr said in 2000s that the government swept under the rug the truth about Uniden ified flying object one reason why Cooper was so insistent that UFOs are real was his own personal sightings in the 1950s while assigned to a Jet Fighter Group in Germany while stationed there in 1952 formations of metallic looking circular objects passed over the air base on an almost daily basis UFOs continued to haunt Cooper when he was transferred several years later to Edwards Air Force based flight test center in the California desert in 1957 he was one of an elite band of test pilots in charge of several Advanced projects including the installation of a Precision Landing system he had a camera proof filming the installation when they spotted a flying saucer they filmed it as it flew overhead then hovered extended three legs as landing gear and slowly came down to land on a dry lake bed the camera crew managed to get within 20 or 30 yards of the landed disc filming all the time it was a classic saucer shiny silver and smooth and about 30 ft across as they approached it took off and disappeared into the clear sky after the footage was forwarded to Washington the movie vanished never to surface again when the Air Force later started operation Bluebook in 1952 to collate UFO evidence and reports Cooper says he mentioned the film evidence but the film FM was supposedly never found rumors persist that American astronauts and Russian cosmonauts continue to see UFOs while in space as many of NASA's programs are funded by the Department of Defense most astronauts are subject to military security regulations and are forbidden to publicly speak about their sightings hopefully as time goes by and more astronauts retire they'll choose to publicly discuss their UFO encounters only then will the public get a better idea of the kind of strange Mysteries that await Us in the deep dark reaches

Pasvik Nature Reserve | Wikipedia audio article
pass Vic nature reserve Norwegian passive ignatow reserve it Russian Pacific pass vixx apathetic is a bilateral nature reserve located in the valley of Pass Vic daelin in Norway and Russia the nature reserve was established in 1992 Russia and 1993 Norway and covers an area of one hundred sixty six point four square kilometers sixty four point two square miles the Norwegian part in the municipality of soar ver Eger covers 19.1 square kilometres 7.4 square miles while the Russian part in p'chenk ski district more mosque Oblast covers 147 point 3 square kilometres 56.9 square miles the Nature Reserve includes in exploited parts of Pass Vic Elva and has a rich bird life along with old past Vic National Park and old Pass Vic landscape protection area in Norway and that sorry wilderness area in Finland Pass Vic nature reserve constitutes part of Pass Vic Inari trilateral park topic geography Pass Vick Nature Reserve consists of two legally separate but geographically adjoined protected areas with a combined area of one hundred sixty six point four square kilometers sixty four point two square miles located in the valley of Paz Vic de lijn it protects the river of Paz vikulova and its vicinity straddling the Norway Russia border with thirty one point four square kilometers 12.1 square miles of its area being made up by water surface the Norwegian segment is entirely located within soar ver Eger it stretches 12 kilometers seven point five miles from Jordan Foss in the north to the dam at Hestia Foss and as up to five kilometers 3.1 miles wide covering an area of 19.1 square kilometers 7.4 square miles of which 4.5 square kilometers 1.7 square miles is water the segments in Russia located within peshan ski district is 40 kilometres 25 miles long and runs from Savannah Vaadin in the north to hessed Foss the Nature Reserve covers the area of this stretch which is located within the border security zone ie from the National border to the border fence near the highway the Russian reserve has an area of one hundred forty seven point three square kilometers 56.9 square miles of which twenty six point nine square kilometers ten point four square miles is water surface the nature reserves center on the reservoir of fear van one of the few parts of Pass Vic Elva which remains intact largely as it did prior to the construction of the seven hydroelectric power stations along the river the lake and its surrounding wetland areas are among the richest nordic areas for waders ducks geese and swans pierre van remains the most important such area along the river in part because it is one of the first parts of the watershed to be ice-free on the Russian side the reserve also includes a comparatively large area of pine forest area which is not directly related to fear van while the Norwegian side only include the reservoir and its immediate surroundings the geology of the area formed at the transition of the meso Archaean and neo archaean eon 2.8 billion years ago it contains areas which are mineral rich which has resulted in an iron ore mine at Bureau Nevadan and a nickel mine in nickel a belt known as the petsamo formation cuts through the reserve its limestone rich rocks give rise to birch which contrasts the otherwise pine dominated forests of the area the landscape consists of hills moraines and meltwater deposits supplemented with kettles and glacial erratics the landscape has been formed by two periods of ice sheets during the quaternary glaciation which has rounded all rock features in the area the areas in the reserve with good drainage are dominated with pods all soil areas with less drainage are dominated by mire the most dominating part of the landscape with high concentration of peat in some places there is sand sediment deposits create Heath's near the lakes there are occasional parties of scree topic hydrology Pacific Elva runs through the reserve in the valley of Paz Vic de lijn the 147 kilometer 91 miles river has its headwater in Lake Inari and its mouth at bulk yordan of the Barents Sea experiencing a total fall of 119 meters 390 feet because of the valleys flat and wide shape the river as shallow ranging from 1 to 8 metres 3 feet 3 into 26 feet 3 in and from several hundred meters to several kilometers wide the river originally consisted of a series of lakes connected by short waterfalls this was altered during the construction of seven hydroelectric power stations this has given an even flow of water throughout the year and the original River course has only been preserved in select locations each of the dams has created its own reservoir which have their lowest water levels in April typically 80 to 100 centimetres 31 to 39 in below the peak level the reservoirs are iced up from October to May topic climate the climate is dominated by cold winds from the Arctic Ocean and mild winds from the Atlantic northern winds are most common during summer which can occasionally give snow in midsummer mean July temperature as fourteen point four degrees Celsius fifty seven point nine degrees Fahrenheit with a peak registered temperature of thirty degrees Celsius 86 degrees Fahrenheit mean January temperature as minus thirteen point six degrees Celsius seven point five degrees Fahrenheit there is Midnight Sun from the 23rd of May to the 20th of July and polar night from the 20th of November to the 23rd of January in general there is more low pressure areas in the winter and higher pressure during summer most of the annual mean 358 millimetres 14.1 in of precipitation falls during summer qualifying the area as a semi-arid climate however high groundwater low evaporation and that most of the rain falls during the growth season results in relatively good growth conditions the first snowfall arrives in September or October and remains until April snow depths normally reach 60 to 70 centimeters 24 to 28 in topic flora Russian scientists have classified the vegetation as forest tundra and taiga while Norwegian scientists have classified it as northern boreal ecosystem with northern parts forming a gradient into an alpine tundra zone the most common trees are Scots pine while the European spruce is less common pine trees can reach a height of 14 to 15 metres 46 to 49 feet there are occasional areas with broad-leaved trees including Aspen Rowan alder and goat willow the Russian section contains sections of old-growth forests the northernmost parts of the reserve has a birch the vegetation sees a mix of mountainous species and Siberian species normally found only as far west as the Kola Peninsula mountainous species not commonly found in such wet and lowland areas include snow Saxa fridge and alpine chickweed and marsh Labrador tea there are three types of mire the most dominant as rice mire covered in Marsh Labrador tea cup lichen and heather the other are grass Myers which are dominated by cotton grass and Carrick's and string mire which have predominantly sphagnum rubus Cham amoris are common throughout the Myers topic fauna Pass Vick is at the intersection between Western and Eastern species and between the forest tundra and Arctic tundra common frog as the only amphibian and the viviparous lizard as the only reptile there are 34 species of mammals in the National Park the only non wild animals are reindeer mice are the most common especially the Eurasian pygmy shrew the only true arctic species as the Norway lemming larger species include the brown bear a declining number of Wolverines and moose in addition to other common smaller mammals the American mink is an introduced species which has become quite common the most common species of fish in the river or corrigan is Lavar etus European perch and northern pike all three which have been the basis for sustenance fishing less common species include burbot grayling and brown trout 5,000 trout's are set out each year to sustain the population especially the lake Casca mcgarvey has a large trout population the lower portion of the river previously had some Atlantic salmon but these have all but disappeared since the hydroelectric stations were installed uncommon fish species include European river lamprey three-spined stickleback 9 spine stickleback and common minnow then days as an introduced species in Lake Inari and has spread to the reserve the area is known for its diversity of birds with 212 species having been recorded as of 1987 of these 68 commonly breed 30 breed occasionally and 14 which have bred previously common birds include the black-throated loon the bean goose and various species of ducks a gathering was previously popular from the common Goldeneye common predator birds include the rough legged Buzzard and Merlin while the

other common birds are the common goal arctic tern and sparrows topic history the oldest archaeological finds in Pacific Dylan date to Stone Age and the khamseh culture these nomadic people would arrive in the valley during summer and sustained themselves largely on fishing in the river the oldest historic records of the area date to the sixteenth century by which time the skulls were inhabiting the area which had organized the valley as heceta the past vic area was traditionally located in a common norwegian and russian area without a defined national border when the border was established in 1826 after which the population moved to the Russian side of the border the valley later received a limited Norwegian population and from the 1850s immigration from Finland both on the Norwegian and Russian side of the border the area around the reserved remained unpopulated the area became part of the Finnish Civil War when Finland secured a corridor to the Arctic Ocean this was subsequently reverted following the winter war in 1939-1940 the first major interest in the ornithology of the area arose following the inspections leading to the border in 1826 also the flora was found to be rich as it was in the intersection of the Western and Eastern vegetation zones giving a unique mix of vegetation the most important work was carried out by Hans though L Channing and Johann Koren who settled in the valley in 1900 the area was also of interest for Swedish and Russian expeditions and scientists Shannon remained for 12 years Norway considered the area for conservation from 1978 with arguments being related to the wetland areas importance for aquatic birds and especially fear van pierre van was subsequently included in Norway's list of possible Ramsar sites in the late 1980s a joint Norwegian Russian environmental agreement was signed and discussion of a joint nature reserve commenced at a meeting in Moore mosque in 1989 Common inspections were carried out in 1990 after which the Russian authorities indicated that they would include comparatively large areas of pine forests on their side of the river in a protected area topic management the rationale to protect the area as to conserve a wilderness area which is important habitat for ducks geese waiters and Whooper swans the reserve is also in place to protect the original riverbed coordination of the management on the Norwegian side as the responsibility of the county governor of Finnmark day-to-day management as carried out by the Kirk Ennis office of the Norwegian nature Inspectorate a division of the Norwegian Environment Agency the same agency as responsible for management of the National Park and landscape protection area the Russian reserve has managed through separate entity organized to manage the reserve management differs considerably in that the reserve is used as a basis for extensive research each year a nature chronicle has published about the park along with old past Vic 'national Park and old Pass Vic landscape protection area in Norway and that sorry wilderness area in Finland Pass Vic Nature Reserve constitutes part of Pass Vic Inari trilateral park

Vivek Chibber vs Identity Politics
what she's drawing on is that basically what's happened in the past 20 years is what it means to be left-wing or radical has been very successfully redefined by the academy by professors and by gratitude and the way it's been redefined is that starting with a correct premise which is that class people's economic condition doesn't isn't responsible for everything awful that's happening to them in their lives there's also the uh purely uh racialized oppressions that they face and gender depressions that they face and that's absolutely true starting with that correct premise it leads to the the deeply incorrect conclusion that therefore if you talk about people's economic conditions you are not addressing the uh core and most important aspects and liabilities of their lives now if you're an African-American in this country is absolutely true that you face all kinds of discrimination it's absolutely true that you have a much higher uh likelihood of being incarcerated than a white person in the same class as you that's how that's absolutely true but how do you expect to address the real plight of African-Americans in this country around their everyday lives without a jobs program without Universal Health Care without decent and Universal public education to think that these are matters that are by virtue of being economic not relevant for people of color it's not just wrong it is fantastically dishonest now the reason Hillary is able to get away with this is that the so-called left and I don't really call it the left anymore I don't know what to call it because it's a diseased formation the so-called left Intelligentsia has succeeded in equating the word class with white guys and this isn't we should look at this as an achievement because it's never happened on the left before it was always understood amongst the more Savvy radical activists that even though people's economic conditions don't explain all the liabilities they face addressing the oppressions that men and women who are poor are facing that black men and women are facing who are poor addressing those without addressing their economic conditions is a elite strategy to keep off the table the real concerns of poor working and women A working class black men and women is always understood now it's taken to be the emblem of what it means to be radical and that's just an a sign that the middle class and the upper classes have taken over the discourse of the left whether they're professors whether they work in non-profits or whether they're these uh Talking Heads for think tanks it's the same phenomenon which is the middle class is getting to Define what it means to be radical that's a really great point and and it also um you know the fact there also does seem to be the strain and what you just said would explain why the strain of just hatred and no no I mean just like looking down on um the white working class in poor class I'm even blaming them for racism um absolutely go ahead a lot of this um race talk is really and it searched for an acceptable way to express your disdain for poor people you just can't express it for poor black people because then it becomes racist and in polite circles racism is not acceptable and that's a great thing it shouldn't be of course right but it is acceptable to talk about poor white trash or Hillbillies or rednecks all these Expressions you can continue to use and uh people use it with alacrity not because they have a hatred for white racists but there's a general disdain for poor white people and they're seen as being born into racism the way they're born into their skin this is again an achievement of a very I think uh backward and quite uh conservative uh Intelligentsia now there there's this is all very

What's Your Destiny?! Living Inspired! - Adam & Steve Ep. 3 [FULL]
bro not everybody in the navy is gay jesus anyway welcome back to adam and steve [Music] welcome back how are we doing bucket list bucket that's a great let's just get into the bucket list so i recently went skydiving scratch it off the bucket list um there are some things i'd like to experience for me i think it's a lot more about traveling and experiencing things like even like doing stuff together you know and and really finding joy in certain you're good to ever win it i lost all my passion travel brings it back we'll travel time travel time travel back to 1985. 88 miles per hour no i don't know how to do that okay allow me to retort what's on your bucket don't say retort no bucket list yeah let's start with you what's on your bucket list well let me try to bring such a young man what was the last somebody said something about something and i was like i'm gonna put that on my bucket list does that help that's as vague as you can get it was uh i think it was let's just say the great wall of china just to go see those things i have no interest in that but no not terrible what no oh why not i don't know it's just a walk i'm just making real estate conversation no interest in seeing it yeah i just think if you were standing on it and you see the whole thing it's one of those mind-blowing things of like people made this or that it's why did they make it i don't think i'd be that impressed what would impress you what would it be the grand canyon impressions okay you went yeah i haven't gone you dunking impresses me david goggins feats impresses me how long did the great wall take matt williams just did an iron man impresses me more than the great wall of china yeah may okay how's this and this is what's wrong with me but okay maybe if i had seen them start building the great wall of china and then like i saw the frozen foreign now that was an accomplishment yeah but it's you know it's there yeah it's there already it's like a mountain yeah i'd like all right let's just go back and forth retort [Laughter] i would like to see the pyramids me too how do you think they got their aliens hundred percent no of course not i imagine you said 100 but it's evidence i i think there's a good amount of evidence that you know we've been visited oh boy this is where this is gonna go visited yeah yeah we're not talking visiting grandma's house no no no no no not at all i mean do you believe in aliens do i believe in grandmothers well the belief in aliens has been yeah um neil degrasse tyson changed not changed my mind but made it so clear that aliens exist because of how small we are yeah it's like the chances of that they don't exist is astronomical it's just the fact that have they seen us and i like what he says he's like they've seen this it's like and let me tell you they're not impressed yeah that's why they're like yeah there's nothing there yeah just like you would the great wall be like nah nothing there exactly i [Laughter] you should probably look up the definition of return i'll do it got a full producer on set okay wait so obviously you'll be going to china by yourself what what else is on your bucket list i'm sorry if i well it was sounding negative so the bucket list was the reason the sentiment of what happened was i forget who i was talking to what event was but it was just no i don't really care why we're talking about the bucket list as much as what's on your bucket list i know but i was thinking the why was what i liked because it was just like these moments that like you work so hard but then you just want these crazy moments as well that don't really have any goal besides just the enjoyment of the moment like skydiving you don't skydive because you're like i want to see the fish that you see if you're over the keys or because of like the miles per hour you're flying it's just like what does that feel like that's what i want on my bucket list it's just moments that make you be like man i would never want to retort this you know hold on retort say something and answer a remark or accusation typically in a sharp angry or wittily incisive manner used in a sentence no need to be re rude so i were i torn it is about i used it appropriately yeah you've taken it and used when i hear a good word yeah yeah i got to play with them okay so i'd said pyramids you said great wall of china let's keep building upon that i like places because like the great wall has the same not as much as the pyramids because the pyramids have the spirituality and like possible aliens but what i like about the pyramids is when you're in their presence you're like they're just like these things you can't really explain their beyond comprehension they kind of mind blow i don't like that term too much because it doesn't really describe what it feels like but it's just like overwhelms of like wow like even just the arch of st louis yes that was one of the first monuments i saw and standing there i'm like wow people built this just for what i know there's a meaning of like they entered the state i'm not good with history stop asking me either and so that was just like the first time i was like oh wow that's i get why people want to go to monuments because they're cool they are cool i had a weird thought let's see maybe we can record it let's say make it make it into the podcast okay so you asked me earlier about the rock becoming president right and we've had trump as president and jake paul is now like a professional fighter and we saw um what's his name fight floyd mayweather mcgregor mcgregor we're see right we saw mike tyson get back in the ring yeah right with roy so i'm wondering is the past merging with the future is pop culture merging with politics are we about to break into some sort of new platform i like that that's an interesting thought wait how do you feel about that like wasn't it definitely wasn't j paul a youtuber or something yeah i don't know his whole story i just know youtube that's all i really know i know logan paul was a big youtuber and that's his brother and i don't know if jake paul did like the same type of youtube thing i don't honestly don't even know either content-wise but uh the they have a break great podcast i don't even know if jake's on it but anyway yeah merging is what it feels like like things are kind of merged because it's too big and everybody's on the same platforms how could it not merge yeah you know like the rock what does he have 250 million followers that's i mean you can't watch tv things like a whole network tv things yeah like i can't watch a whole tv program what am i saying and maybe covet two right like are we ever really going to go back to movie theaters like i took my kids to see godzilla versus king kong i'm not sure oh we saw a preview for that right right yeah great that was the one it's on hbo max right now yeah which is weird yeah so it's like you're really going to the movies just to be able to sit and have the movie theater experience because everything that's out in the movies is already out on tv yeah that's new yes that's really new like things are just merging really fast that's what i was talking about it feels like the things i want to do in the future are happening so fast that it's almost like i can't keep up with the things like if you wanted to be an actor 20 30 years ago right or a stand-up comedian you start doing the show you start doing these things but now it's things happen so fast it's like what do you choose to do like for example i think of jim carrey remember he had the yes manifestation which was actually a question shout out to the people that answered the question of what topics and everybody else who looked at our picture in our post and did not respond with a topic you're missing out you could have put a topic that we could have covered two brilliant minds discussing it live they're going to lock us up they feel like retorting a bit [Laughter] anyway someone said manifestation yeah and i think of jim carrey what that was five million dollar check he carried around yes but he could kind of almost see his path and knew he had to take ten whatever long or i don't even know but like you have to go do stand up you have to go practice acting but now it's like it's i guess it's maybe the exposure part is so fast people go so fast it's kind of like what do you work on it's like american idol i remember right like things happen like i honestly other than like kelly clarkson i don't know one person that won american idol and for my career i don't want to be i never want to be someone that was like here for a moment and then gone yes you know i want i would want you and i to create something that has a legacy that stays for a long time why do we want to do that because i have the same feeling i think i don't even know if i could i don't even know if i could my ego could take being yesterday's news you know what i mean like you had your shot you had your moment and then why that's sad i mean look at jordan yeah he's still the most popular athlete in the world how is that possible he hasn't played in 20 years and that's 20 years since his washington days yeah no one even remembers that he played for washington what do you think his secret was being a mystic yeah and and doing things the right way and caring about the game and not the fame and working you know on his performance on the court and not worrying so much about what you know who's gonna what's the word i'm looking for sponsor him you know they came to him because of his game right not oh i'm hey i'm looking for gatorade i'm looking for this person i'm looking for that person they came to him something to think about we were just manifestation the jim carrey thing yeah i think i don't think i finished that thought what i was saying was sounds about right yeah i'll retort to it [Laughter] he was manifesting that right but during his time of working hard there was he didn't see other people blowing up he didn't see like other famous people he didn't know like if say he saw someone in his era get famous or hit a movie go on he didn't see the whole process now we're seeing like the whole process of everybody and there's so many different things i can do like for example for myself i love photos i love music i love podcasting yeah and all these different things don't get you dunking of course entertaining yes all of it coaching what else no but i like that because it's just a weird time as our relationship has grown as as as brothers and and how we met what i've what i've realized is okay this is a really terrible analogy but you know a lot of times in in hunting or even in the army when you go to kill somebody it's actually not the bullet that kills you it's how the bullet springs do what i mean and how yeah it's separate right but i feel like our our careers can do that like it's not the like right now we're very very focused but i wonder where it will go yes i wonder what it will blossom into and i don't want to uh tie it down and be like no it's just one silver bullet that's going to go straight through because it's not true so we're going to be exploding bullets that's what i'm trying to could be the name of the podcast exploding bullets exploding bullets is a great title yeah if anybody takes that title i swear to god we'll shoot them in the [ __ ] head just kidding are we allowed to do that legally do whatever we want maybe we should talk about it though it's america god bless anyway bucket list give me one thing other than the one shooting someone okay grand canyon's definitely one been there it's great i want to do uh i'm trying to think of what it was something about oh so this is what it was i think i was talking somebody about surfing and it was i don't even want to surf i just want to go to hawaii where the famous pipeline is yeah and just watch those insane waves or insane surfers do that i would love to learn to surf so i'm glad you said that so we've never done it i i've gotten up and ridden some waves but i i wouldn't say that i can surf but have you gotten a wave that's kind of barreling not like just no no no no no no i was happy to get up not okay because like not a wave that's barreling but sometimes there's like wash that's still strong that's just like crumbled waves right that you can learn on but if you get a wave that's actually breaking and you're like you feel like you're on a slope it's like magic i think you'd fall in love with it i want to show you something you can pull it up wait no i can edit it yeah cause i don't want people to be bored while i do this i'm gonna double check the cams okay i want to show you i want to show you what stevo did oh boy dude see he really he knows how to live he he he should be everybody oh yeah you were telling me do i mean honestly he should be i want to talk about steve i wanted to give him that i wanted to remember you asked me about his content yeah he went screenshot that and then i'll put it on the on the pod for everybody because i'm the best producer you know sure he went surfing in alaska i will jesus you meet now i'm thinking okay all right he went um surfing with his boys in alaska which is something he always always always wanted to do yes you know and um i you know one of the things about steve is is that i just think he really really knows how to live yeah what do you think that is where do you get that that awareness from of like this is worth doing i don't know you know for him specifically i don't know it could be how how grateful he is in his recovery it could be you know he lost his mom um at a younger age and maybe an appreciation for life he's always been him and he's always had that you know daredevil in him so sometimes when we're like if we're having a personal conversation the stuff he says i'm like you know because he he has that within him yes you know it's not he doesn't do this um strictly for other people's entertainment he does have something calling him like i wanted yeah you know i i want to do this i want to try this um i don't know he is this is for life zest for life and that's exactly what i would love to ask him about that trip specifically is like what did that feel like to get it done or like what was so strong to go do that and also like you said it was something he's always wanted to do like how long did he want to do that it's a good question and was it something that's like like i read this book dream big which i might want to read again bob goff and it was about this really helped me because i have a lot of dreams i'll read that you'll like it it was like instead of choosing which dreams because a lot of books say try to focus on one thing it just says categorize them as small medium or large aspirations but it's really good to keep the small and medium ones in mind so that way when the opportunity arises you can jump on it so for example for stevo maybe that one wasn't like for his career or anything but it was a it was a big dream for him and his friends so then when maybe like all his friends are like hey we all have this time to go do this alaska's the right like all these things line up let's jump on it so he had that in his mind so i love that about that book is that it's like don't put any of your dreams aside none of them even the small ones even ones that are meaningless like just going to surf in hawaii yeah just get just have them in the back burner i love that yeah because i always think of wanting to do so many things you're like you got to focus you can't do everything you gotta sacrifice some it's like no just leave them just keep them in the in a different trial you know i i agree with that you don't have to kill certain dreams i do believe that at least for the way i'm wired that sometimes it's healthy to focus on one project or one thing at a time yeah so right now i'm writing the book conversations with dionne i'm growing the hero project we're growing and having fun with this podcast you know uh there's a lot of but right now i'm with you i'm not doing all that other and that's how my brain works yeah you know you would be able to tell if i wasn't with you yeah i just you i would be 20 of myself right that's just how i'm wired but that doesn't mean that that other stuff is not happening right now and i think dreams could be the same way yeah and that's what i like about stevo's content is that like now he's not only turned his life around but now making it into something great and that inspires me because it's like if you were to see stevo when he was in jack i stayed you'd be like he'd be the pot out of that group he'd be like he'd be the podcaster he'd be creating videos editing himself like you mentioned i'd be like hey does he even know how to do that and now he's killing it and that's inspiring someone like me that's like finding their way of like what they want to do he's like went from this to that to this living dreams to also expressing it's a great it's so awesome yeah he he's very inspirational and well here's something it's like yourself and i could say this about him and some other people that we know he's actually the most authentic person yes uh dion's the same the most authentic person you know he's there's no different version of him right you know what you see is what you get so it's not like it's not like if you um in your mind believe uh brad pitt is this character from ocean's 11. and then you meet brad pitt and you realize these are two totally different people yeah right like you know he is totally 110 himself at all times right and you know maybe that's why we're on the planet to be ourselves at all times what's funny about that is it's hard to do very in the same time the easiest meaning if you're yourself you don't have to you don't have to even you think less but it's hard to think less yeah because you're trying to do these different things and do achieve these things but if you literally let go yeah you have to do anything yeah i remember hearing uh one time uh a it was an interview or he was on stage and jay-z said that you know every time he walks into the room he always walks into the room as himself as if he's not he doesn't have to go in with any agenda he doesn't have to plan what he's going to say he's not going to people please he's not going to speak to this part of the audience and not that part of the audience he is just 100 authentically him take it or leave it you know yeah i mean it would be wonderful if politicians could do that mm-hmm you know or people of that stature yeah just to always be 100 authentically yourself i think you and i are close yeah um i'm sure i fall short mm-hmm i'm sure of it um but you can always retort back i mean what i'm learning i would love to think that we're always 100 that's something i ourselves no i think that's what i see in you everywhere we go we meet different people we do different things it's always the same thing and that's what's admirable and also inspiring you just just that's why i like to do this thing because it's like we don't have to we don't have to plan it we have to do anything it's fun [ __ ] yell at each other yeah it's great and i feel the same way about you that's what i want to help people see it's funny you always say like i'm doing this and doing this but i also think you have that thing in which like when i've seen you dunk and when you're dunking your mind's not on coaching right do you mean like you you you have a a singular of purpose as well depending on where you're at yeah i wonder where that came from it's also because there's the a lot of the books i read early on before i made this it's only been a couple that's the thing about the impatience is like it's only been a couple years since i've been doing this this and it feels like it's been my life yeah it's in a way it has because i've been crafting but i've only been acting on it for the past couple years but a lot of the books you read are about finding your thing cutting away doing one thing so you can be like streamlined and also the best at that but you have to do i have to do all these things to find it yeah but you've tapped into tap in sometimes yeah but you've tapped in oh boy you uh like you were recording yourself recording your dunking uh and and documenting things way before any of this was popular right which is interesting yeah and what's interesting is i think this might be a really big theme in my life is you have to express yourself to find yourself yeah and that's a really weird thing because i i knew that inherently luckily not even inherently i just i did the expression like tried the dunk and then realized what it meant it was like all the self-limiting beliefs and all these different things and even the faith and believing in myself and all those different things but now when it comes to art is like sometimes i want to write music or i want to make a video and i don't know what to make and i'm thinking i'm going to wait till i have the idea to make the expression but you do the expression to find the message isn't that backwards no i like it yeah but while you were saying that i was actually thinking of all those videos of you as a little little kid jumping and saying you were michael jordan and it does make me believe in some sort of destiny yeah that's right like scotty was painting yeah that's so weird now look at him you know and and i truly had a superman s on me the day i was born and everything about me so everything i've created resonates with i do wonder that are we tapping into the future yeah or we we come on the planet knowing with a certain knowing and then the game of it is is to discover how is that going to manifest yeah what's cool is uh one of my favorite things to do is document yeah because i think it's so powerful like with the dunking thing if i didn't if i didn't show you the before you might just it'd be harder to believe that i trained all the way up but it's cool to see that i couldn't write things right you may actually think that you're someone anomaly right that always had ups right so now with us is like we've talked about the podcast over a year ago and now we're kind of starting it like it's still like not as consistent as we'd like and yeah i mean but if it grows we'll have these first episodes as documented so we can be like wow look what i enjoy it too because it's it's a form of expression that i don't when when you post these and you edit these i don't sit there going i don't have this agenda of like oh this is what's going to make people happy or this will explode our careers or i think it's i think it's fun yes and it's enjoyable and you never know where it can go that's what i want people to do somebody said recently asked me what kind of equipment i used yeah and he said to or asked if i had any old equipment i said no but here's my link that i use for my equipment and i'm like i'm like so you're starting a podcast and he's like uh kinda it's more just for fun i'm like those are the best comments what do you what else are you gonna do do you know how i met jeff lopes podcast yeah but me too he was um uh it was during covet and if i remember the story 100 correct he liked my instagram and we saw that we had a lot in common and specifically superman and he was like what are you doing he's like you want to do i was like sure what are you doing yeah he didn't come off it didn't come off really that way just kidding yeah what the hell are you doing you know it wasn't it was like what are you doing and and he's like you're available and i was like sure i was flattered to be honest and um so to watch his podcast kind of take form right grow and you know it was really at that point in my opinion no offense jeff more of an idea and an expression right i'm not sure he i'm not sure he knew yes how fantastic it would be and that's what i like to help people do is like if you have any inkling of trying something when you try it it opens up so much anything whether it's podcasting whether it's surfing yeah if you have any spark yes for any reason even if it's like you saw it once and you're like i kind of want to try that when you try it you learn so much about it yeah about yourself that's that's what i mean by expressing yourself to find yourself all right so we did discuss a little bit of destiny but how about this have you ever on this little journey discovered that you're really really really good at something that you had no idea you were going to be good at probably photos and videos see that's interesting right very that's interesting i i never knew that i was a great public speaker until really yeah until i got sober i had no idea why would i use that skill i don't know you know so no i had no idea i had no idea that would be comfortable i had no idea it would come so easy i would right i had no idea i mean a lot of people they get that stage fright they get fear they they feel like the the the moment is more overwhelming i feel like it's well not nothing i get like some uh i get some butterflies in my stomach but that it's more of excitement and yeah and i feel like it becomes i get more focused and my thoughts become clearer and it's easy and it's fun and it's enjoyable before i know it however long i had to speak is done yeah it's like a it's i don't know it just comes really naturally but i never without getting clean and sober i never would have known that about myself really so when so why because when you got clean and sober then you had to talk more it's very encouraged for you to share more about where you're at in life share your feelings and you shared really well i was forced to share because they told me if i didn't that i have a superman complex and i was gonna um rather than identify with the people that i was meeting i was going to compare myself yes i was going to think i was way better than them and i would end up back to my old shenanigans and they were like so if you share you'll become part of the gang so to speak and we'll really get to know you and know who you are and how you're feeling and uh they were like with your superman nonsense you better share every day because you're going to compare yourself to this person and compare yourself to that person right and you're going to walk yourself right out of this thinking you're better than them so that was a good lesson in humanity pause it and we're pausing and we're back so then we look how important i am i'm in the middle of a podcast okay ls i'm checking my phone big shot you know what i'm saying i'm done so um so then you shared yeah and it came naturally came naturally and then like people asked you to keep sharing and you were no no no no people didn't ask me to keep sharing but what happened was uh as time went by and people saw how serious i was about my recovery and what was going on with me that i was i was getting better and i was smiling more and i was i was believing what they were teaching me and i was participating in ways that i never thought were possible they would say hey you know would you would you want to tell your story and this person would ask me and then that person would ask me and before you know it it became you know and this is by the way what i'm sharing with you is a very common phenomenon in recovery but but for me personally is i never would have known i had that skills yeah without the process the reason i'm asking so much is because when when we started talking and even making videos and stuff i'm like you need a podcast now remember and it's because the way you speak and the authenticity it's like everything you it's not like it's not to it's just to express like it just felt very like you want to hear that person talk yeah and that's the podcast i love that love to listen to well i'm glad we're doing it together yeah and plus you know i get fearful um like i look at how you set things up and how you edit i don't think i i'm sure i could so i don't want to say negative things about myself but i look at it and it's very overwhelming to me so if i saw this stuff all unplugged i would be like there's no chance in hell i'm doing this yeah you know like but you have a knack for it it does you're not afraid of it at all right and what's funny is that i i love it like i love like i don't i don't like the high-end stuff because i want it to be the best podcast i just enjoy bringing that quality because i enjoy watching it's a never-ending cycle like we always talk about like the expressing with people the reason i want to help them express is because i love expressing yeah so it's like if you're a musician you want to help other people be a musician that's how it feels with the expression a lot of times when i'm with you i i think more of like a of a kanye kind of guy you know mm-hmm no in in in the most in the nicest way that was my flattery because you know i i know people that uh know kanye more for his sneakers than his rapping oh wow or for his larger than life loud slash out there type thinking personality than his music career yeah uh he's he's really multi-dimensional right guy you know super super talented and what i'm writing like so let's say the sneakers would be for you your photography and your video i mean like yeah you have that it's still expression which is i think that's why i feel this thing of like i don't know what to do because i like expressing but i can do it in all these different ways yeah it's almost like uh but it's separate where like let's say the jordan line is an extension of michael jordan's game yeah and that's how he wanted it right his brand is an extension of him and how he he was on the floor and then he would sign athletes that he respected it right right where kanye you know his sneakers are i like these sneakers i'd want to buy these sneakers that has nothing to do with his music right and that's kind of why i'm bringing it back to people listening is that's what i like about helping people express because i know what i can express or what i like to do but it's so fascinating to me to see what other people express like the way you like to speak yeah be like i love to hear it speak and then people do other things it's just crazy to see what their combination is yeah what do you think your combination is speaking what else uh speaking uh empathy for people you know so helping people um that's a really good question some you expressed physically too yeah definitely something with the body yeah um and and and faith you know look oh i bring however i feel like i'm the kind of guy that can only write about things that i like to write about so but that's what the expression is right yes like it's an extension like i wouldn't be a paid writer i'm not a hitman yeah you know it had to it would have yeah i see what you're saying but um i definitely think that i would be somebody more um in the spiritual realm yeah than let's say the influencer realm right how do you express your spirituality is it more something just for yourself i i think that's that's maybe it goes into the model of my life yeah i think my spirituality is is look i'm go you experience this is probably this is not the platform for this so maybe you could edit this out or make it sound appropriate but you know if if people knew what was really going on behind the scenes and what i'm really dealing with i think you would see my spirituality and being like how the hell is he being so active and so happy and finding joy while he's got this [ __ ] going right you know it's a it's a real and i'm tap i am patting myself on the back right now because it is a form of detachment from something that i'm in a lot of pain from yeah you express it through living and joy absolutely and oh and i'm a big for me for me i don't think it makes me better than other people or less than other people but for me i really love bringing people together and worlds combining i get i can't explain why yeah but i get a lot of excitement out of that so and that way i always say it's not the adam show and you're also a master at it i would say i'm a master i would say it because the way you can match energies and make them align is a skill but you know what i mean like i don't want the adam's [ __ ] like scotty and then you and scotty have your own thing and you meet doctor yeah and we all have these michael diamonds coming into the flow and and we you know jeff and but i like the idea that it's it's uh we're all coming together and it's not there's no star of the show and i'm not you know it's just bringing these these wonderful people together just all energy yeah but that's how i see you too is like these you're you're good at uh noticing energy you're recognizing it and how it aligns with someone else's yeah it's almost like that it's almost like painting or like music it's just the same thing but it's like with people it's almost like through people which is really interesting yeah that that makes me feel but that makes me feel good yeah because the same way i would like hear a song and like want to write music to or see a photo and like want to make the composition of like the light hits here yeah that's like combining different energies that's how i see you with people but i also wouldn't want to make it seem as if i have some sort of foresight or i or arrogance to it like it's not like i knew when you and scotty met that you would be able to make that video together and you would paint the way you paint like you i didn't know i just knew that you two would there was some connection there not like i knew where it would go right does that make any sense that there was there was something there yes um [Music] when dion went to lunch with my father and dr rob and i granted very selfishly i wanted to have these men in my life talk but i did feel like these this is a good flow this yeah and i say that because like for example my skill set might be this expression tools yeah so when i see you or even my clients i'm like oh he'd be great in this with this yeah or when i take you and i have a photos i'm like yeah you're crazy right here you know so it's similar but it's awesome yeah it's like our eyes pick up on different gifts yeah in the in in this same reality and one thing i was talking to a friend of mine that's really great is that we all need each other i agree with that in like and nobody not doesn't need everybody like everybody needs everybody which is a weird thought but it's like i do this i help you express maybe through here you help me with people and then whoever i you introduce me to this person helps me this everybody's connected in some way and there's no lack i love that there's no there's no lack like people always think like oh if he's the guy who does the podcast it's like no i'm doing the podcast in my combination plus yours we all amplify and if you're with people that know that it continues to amplify you know why else i like it by the way because there's something inside of me that is competitive and in this area it relaxes that feeling you know like when i'm bringing people together and i'm helping people i don't feel like i'm not where i want to be and i'm not achieving my goals fulfilling it's very fulfilling maybe it's like the ego so it's like it for somebody that that's wired somewhat competitively it it takes that away and that's a really nice feeling to be able to be with people genuinely and not be like well he has this so i need that and she has it i don't have that when i'm you know but sometimes if it's just me on instagram and i'm flipping i'm like oh i gotta work harder yeah you know where i i need to uh i need a breakthrough i'm not reaching enough people just the ego yeah i feel that i don't even know if that made sense doesn't make any sense no and that's my problem no that makes perfect sense i think it's just it's when you find that joy when you it's like the dharma thing which i like from the deepak chopra's book the last law purpose it's like when you match your unique talents with the unique need of the world yeah and oh by the way here's another thing i love being inspired like i love inspire me scotty inspires me uh mike diamond really inspires me it's the greatest steve steve inspires me i look at him i go he he makes me like an inspire not which is not dionne it's inspired meaning there is no competition zero i don't have this jealousy at all or this one it's more like wow look at what they're doing look at what's possible look at what we can accomplish you know watching you dunk is inspiring i don't go off i couldn't why do people do that i think it's i think it's a it's a jealous it's i think it's a lack of self-worth we've all done it you know when i was watching that jordan documentary it's it's not even it's not even spoken about or articulated enough but to watch him basically say my entire game my entire nature is based on my dad would give my big brother larry more attention than me and i had to beat larry and that's it you know and every single competitor in front of him is a version of larry you know it's like it's not even about the game it's like if i don't beat this person i don't get my father's attention you know and and he's the best he's the greatest of all time and that i just thought that it's not spoken about enough because that that's a fire that will never leave yeah that will never change you know and him and his dad were so tight they were best friends and but to win his dad's approval and win his dad's attention [Music] possibly took him being michael jordan this is that crazy he's like relax you know that's how that's how good his brother larry was um and that's how similar his brother larry was to his dad all right yeah you can win all right sometimes no they would kill each other i know but larry did you ever see that video of michael jordan playing his little brother i don't think so his big brother no his brother's five six it's eerie imagine a five imagine me with michael jordan's game oh like you see like yeah it wasn't like michael has his gate like they were brothers yeah they had the same game it's eerie i'll have to check it out where do i find it just google it yeah yeah yeah you got in the army you could split it you're gonna laugh you're gonna see this five foot six guys like same moves same mannerisms speaking of speaking of public speaking double entendre do you have a dream place or dream group or some kind of dream public speaking event i do i do um it's definitely somewhere in arizona wow uh some going back outdoors like one of those beautiful possibly and and it would be um it would be a collaborative event and you know again not the adam show um if anything i would feel more fulfilled saying adam was the person that got these people together um but not the adam's show yeah but yeah i like i i like the idea and i would like the idea of it being spiritual in nature yeah i don't want to be the guy that's granted i've had my successes but that's on stage speaking about business right and economics if you had a ted talk would you what would it be on oh what a great question what would yours be on go ahead i don't know uh let me think i think it's about um well actually i might be giving a little bit of a talk this thursday at this group i go to i didn't tell you about this yet but it's like they hold discourses and like just topics just for fun just to like have a like oh it's like a spiritual um meeting and i was going to talk about quantum theory perfect because it's how you manifest going back to manifestation is like that's what really it's like the science side of the spiritual side but they're both the same thing but i think the science is cool to give a visual to what's happening which is like you have a cloud i'll get into it real quick you have a cloud of possibility yeah the the your the reality is just a is a possibility and then when you observe something it manifests it into a physical thing so whatever you observe makes it real and i really like that so i would kind of comb i would like to combine that with spirituality and combine it is spiritual yeah but like but like i'm saying like bring both sides together science and spirituality plus energy of like the positivity the reticular activating system all those different things maybe i'll just do a mini ted talk this week practice it that could be it i'll bring it back to the next podcast we talk about i'll see how it goes you inspired me in that because you know what it would it's gonna sound like an adam steve thing but i really think that the the uh focus or the the initial thought behind i would hope a very powerful talk is that you're gonna die yeah you know yeah like sincerely you're gonna die yes and if you can't like let's just focus on that for a little bit because if you can't wrap your head around that yeah that then you're just living in denial yes and we none of us know how much time we have and on top of that so what are we gonna do like yeah you're going to die yeah sincerely yeah like so are you are you living yeah and if you're gonna live you know i don't know if they could see it but like live live like a hero you know don't just get by you know like really put your best effort in and that's what that's what leads me to the quantum craziness because not only do you get to live and just make choices but you can even try to like create a reality like an insane reality with a higher reality a wild reality that's why i always thought you would love that um that doctor strange movie yeah that was really good well i'm kind of like a dummy yeah and i need like powers yeah that's how we can end the podcast boom yeah uh but you know i like you know simple you know you get you get your this guy krypton is very jesusy and you know you get your powers from the you know the yellow sun and you know there's a lot of jesus and superman combinations uh but you have the this the doctor strange is much more about energy and quantum physics and that's what's so cool about the marvel universe yes i like that like captain america would be more superman right you know very dull simple yeah you got power you're very strong yeah but then you have characters like like iron man yeah that's very scientific yeah you know and and builds weapons right um and then you have doctor strange with the quantum physics and the energy and the whatever and that no not whatever that's very dismissive it's hot we're talking loud yeah um all right how you gonna end it um yeah how should we end it i feel like this was a good one i don't know what you'll be able to splice out of this but i'm i'm proud of us me too bucket list you didn't give me your bucket that was pretty forced one last thing one more bucket list hawaii piper i said listen you said great wall of china which i'm not that impressed yeah i said pyramids yeah then you said wanna go you want to go to hawaii just to watch the waves i want to serve yeah i think it's a tie it's two too it's we're not competing oh right but damn i like the idea of those waves have you ever seen waves like that like like 10 foot waves or more in person not impressed just kidding i just was thinking i have seen i was sitting at the beach the other day and like the waves crashing were just like small but they're like kind of loud like when you sit close enough it like consumes you it's all you hear is the waves and i'm like i haven't been by big waves in a while and like just the sound of the power of nature i feel like that changes you and i want things like i want more experience like that that change you're like jeez that's happening right now yeah like right now there's waves crashing that we don't know about we're just hearing like birds chirping and stuff but there could be like monsoons and [ __ ] basically what i'm saying is i want to be a storm chaser i'd love to be able to me but it's going back to a podcast we were recording back to people like i'd love to be able to say i i trained with arnold yeah you know at gold's gym yeah or um the rock's arms right yeah or i shot a basketball with mj or you know smoked a cigar with mj dude yeah scratch the basketball [ __ ] he's 50 something smoked the cigar with them like i just want these experiences yes that'd be awesome all right let's wrap it that's it i'm done i'm done i'm done with them i'm done with these people i'm honestly i'm done with you i can't wait for you to leave it's warm and easy guys it's vinaigrette as podcasts maybe this is ridiculous why are we even doing hopefully we'll be back next week if not it was a good run i don't know how to wrap these things up [Music] bye

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided pt24 Searching Vince Black's office
Adam what are you doing in here it mojo suppose I can ask you the same thing to her I'm worried about Ben's black the head of our organized crime division I was leaving a message for director Miller asking if he's heard from him black still deep undercover inside the Divali organization is he the kind of deep that can be hard to swim back from sometimes yeah he's supposed to meet with me once a week so I can bring him back into the shallows only he never showed for our first meeting and what I know of the Divali their influence extends outside of the Czech Republic maybe he's out of town maybe maybe you could find out sure I think I can do some digging around for you when was the last time you heard from them first and last time was in his office a few days ago he seemed antsy kind of nervous that I was there you know well then maybe I'll poke around his office a little while I'm here why stop now right well listen Adam Neil's waiting on my initial batch of reports and I'm sure director Miller wouldn't be too pleased to find us standing in his office so unless there's something else I think this is where I'll check out you mentioned Leona is expecting your first batch of reports you don't answer - director Miller I'm the civilian employee specializing in habituating deep-cover operatives you're not an agent so why did you choose to work with badges I started out working for Lim international hopping patients cope with the emotional sort of augmentation after the incident I needed to change my focus Interpol was looking so I moved my clinic to the public sector so you answer directly to Joseph Mandela once Joe's idea to get a psychological clinic up and running inside our field offices but listen I have a faster process so if there isn't anything else is there anything in black psych eval that leads you to believe he's capable of maybe undermining the task force is there a chance he's gone off reservation human beings are predisposed to damaging everything they come into contact with of course he's capable as am i as are you so these evaluations you conduct within they're useless in determining a course of action you might take I don't have a crystal ball and blacks last eval predates my arrival here then the last that still helped me understand what he's dealing with on a subconscious level that he may be in trouble I wish I had something more concrete for you to go on Joe sounds like you handle your clothes work clothes because I've used his first name well you said you joined him 29 after the incidents no no I arrived after Joe did look Adam we should probably get out of here don't you think yeah you're probably right I am curious though we're manually it came from exactly heard he jumped over quite a few heads to get to the big charity of 29 must have some pray influential friends going shrinks why the interest in our boss I just like to know who everyone is if Joe had health I'm sure it was from people who share his vision for what this task force could become anyway listen I really do think it's best if we get out of Miller's office before he returns so if you'll excuse me gelareh I'm in Vince's office I think I have a lead an appointment Vince made with an informant that sounds promising at him you willing to follow up we were to find out what happened on if something happened to him let's not assume the worst just yet anomaly detected trace program initiated access granted a kazoo and Christmas stories boys just in time I was afraid they've got visual confirmation there are members present in the building here we go Adam Janus heard the NSM conversation we recovered he agrees you two should meet new it just tell me where there's an abandoned tourist information center in the central plaza make sure you're not followed and I got something on my chinko for you two details are on a pocket secretary near the meet-up point look for a trash bin with a chalk mark above it you'll find it near the metro guy problems already it's Oh can't believe a word they say what it's the old scum on top of it yes sir I found over LOF he's dead what are you sure it's him well technically I never met him before I did however meet a doctor who looks just like him in Alaska in that clinic I told you about his name then was McFadden Christ Adam what exactly happened you in that clinic I was in the coma ward it was run by the World Health Organization facility 451 can you dig into it of course I'm gonna search this body and the apartment see what I can find anomaly detected trace program initiated access granted tres program initiated access granted Oh most honest tres program initiated Oh tres program initiated access granted Chiang I think I have something on our secret admirer group called Santa's that mean anything to you you mean those conspiracy nuts very bad for business how much do they know I'm not sure they're hiding somewhere in the sewers in the Omni district find out whatever you can what they know what they want if they blow the task force's cover it's only a matter of time before someone blows out the task force don't worry Jenny I don't want the walls coming down just yet I suppose raka won't be leading you hunters to the promised land after all no matter who Rucker was or what he stood for it's an awful way to go

Closed pyometra in a Jack Russell 1/4
okay on June 24th to do one for this video female on speaker yeah master came in complain was just diarrhea and lethargy so the doc was examine and amatuer was located in 9.3 the gums will not not very pale with just a few people and overall retaining signs were actually a swelling don't know swimming so I pop it for you tonight distinction and there was some Utah's feelings after a check for the heat the owner says he doesn't know when the heat period was but from I can see from here the big swollen issues that I didn't not have been trying to leave herself to clear the discharge or it was some recent heat period now the important thing about female dogs not sterilized with abdominal swelling is the check for false pregnancy so I expressed nipples yesterday and insist the Sun blackish he put his chest coming up in fact is shot into the honest eyes yesterday but really isn't much and so this confirms that the dog had false pregnancy and so I estimated that the dog had been on heat above 1 to 2 months ago but Onan denied not having heat until today when you see that he solved the middle of attempting to meet her two months ago so now I had the back test done and the brothers just showed it the dog had low rate cell count index for nothing else no leukocytosis no neutrophilia although the monocytes are abnormally high 18 other than that there are no signs of bacterial infection the x-rayed abdominal x-ray nabis abdominal x-ray it's less suspicious of you trying this tension as you can see it's a very big surly in addition otherone here so these are signs of close by metro and so it goes that you try on this thing and hypoplastic so we will see together view or the other view it's a bit more obvious as you see these are the loops of the you trying on strollers with paths then this is another one here so more or less the x-rays confirmed it this is my matron of pregnancy the different is a pregnancy you don't get maybe this charge from the nipples and in this dog there was some discharge from the tuning post yesterday more prominent as today and so now you can see that the Baba leaves are there much swollen so it's possible that that cervix is closed so that it may not be fully closed so that the dog still keep on cleaning herself and licking her private parts so that it becomes swollen so now I expanded on the best bit I spent up on IDs using illustrations so in an ordinary dog I put him that the interest are very small any concealed x-ray but and there will be no milk coming up from the nipples but when when bacteria goes in into the he'll trust you will see that they becomes swollen like lumps and on actually of course you know in the straight line the lumps overlap so you can see rounded areas based in in this experience around around the looks of the uterus which is the descender will pass besides more obvious they face a very good experience a of close by Metro this is not a blade but these are the looks of the intensity after uterus and this is the other one the overlap so there you are you know you don't see them so distinctly as separately but this is a lower one of the dominant is some discomfort and pain yesterday on partition so now you'll go into surgery and can close

Owen Roberts | Wikipedia audio article
oh and Josephus Roberts may 2nd 1875 to may 17 1955 was an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court from 1930 to 1945 he also led to Robert's Commission's the first that investigated the attack on Pearl Harbor and the second that focused on works of cultural value during World War two born in Philadelphia Roberts graduated from the University of Pennsylvania law school and pursued a legal career after working as a district attorney in Philadelphia he was appointed by President Calvin Coolidge to investigate the Teapot Dome scandal after the death of Associate Justice Edward Terry Sanford in March 1930 President Hoover nominated John J Parker to fill the vacancy on the court the Senate rejected Parker and Hoover quickly nominated Roberts as his second choice for the vacancy Roberts was easily confirmed and took his position on the court in May 1930 on the Hughes court Roberts was a swing vote positioned between the conservative four horsemen and the liberal three musketeers along with chief justice Charles Evans Hughes Roberts's vote often decided whether President Franklin D Roosevelt New Deal legislation would be upheld his decision to uphold the constitutionality of a state minimum wage law in West Coast Hotel Co V Parish has been called the switch in time that saved 9 that term references the decisions possible role in the defeat of the judicial procedures reform bill of 1937 which would have expanded the Supreme Court and thus allowed Roosevelt to appoint justices more sympathetic to his policies Roberts his motivation for upholding the constitutionality of the New Deal and his role in the defeat of the bill remains a matter of debate though the bill was defeated Roosevelt's along presidency allowed him to appoint most of the court by the end of Roberts's tenure he was the lone Supreme Court justice who was not appointed by Roosevelt he was one of three justices to vote against Roosevelt's orders for japanese-american internment camps in Korematsu V United States as well as the lone judge to dissent in the case of Smith v Allwright which ruled white primaries unconstitutional his relations with his colleagues on the stone Court became strained and he retired in 1945 he died in Chester County Pennsylvania in 1955 topic early life and career Roberts was born in Philadelphia and attended Germantown Academy and the University of Pennsylvania where he was elected to the Phi Beta Kappa society and was the editor of the daily Pennsylvanian he completed his bachelor's degree in 1895 and went on to graduate at the top of his class from University of Pennsylvania Law School in 1898 on March 1st 1912 Roberts and fellow Philadelphia lawyers William W Montgomery jr. and Charles L McKeon founded the law firm Roberts Montgomery and McKeon the predecessor of the law firm Montgomery McCracken Walker and Rhodes LLP he first gained notice as an assistant district attorney in Philadelphia he was appointed by President Calvin Coolidge to investigate oil reserve scandals known as the Teapot Dome scandal this led to the prosecution and conviction of Albert befall the former Secretary of the Interior for bribe-taking topic Supreme Court Roberts was appointed to the Supreme Court by Herbert Hoover after Hoover's nomination of John J Parker was defeated by the Senate on the court Roberts was a swing vote between those led by justices Louis Brandeis Benjamin Cardozo and Harlan Fiske stone as well as chief justice Charles Evans Hughes who had allow a broader interpretation of the Commerce Clause to allow Congress to pass New Deal legislation that would provide for a more active federal role in the national economy and the four horsemen justices James Clarke McReynolds Pierce Butler George Sutherland and Willis Van Deventer who favored a narrower interpretation of the Commerce Clause and believed that the Fourteenth Amendment Due Process Clause protected a strong Liberty of contract in 1936 is United States v Butler Roberts sided with the four horsemen and wrote an opinion striking down the Agricultural Adjustment Act as beyond Congress's taxing and spending powers topic switch in time that saved nine Robert switched his position on the constitutionality of the New Deal in late 1936 and the Supreme Court handed down West Coast Hotel V Parish in 1937 upholding the constitutionality of minimum wage laws subsequently the court would vote to uphold all New Deal programs since President Roosevelt's plan to appoint several new justices as part of his court packing plan of 1937 coincided with the Court's favorable decision in Parish many people called Roberts's vote in that case the switch in time that saved nine although Roberts's vote in parish occurred several months before announcement of the court packing plan while Roberts is often accused of inconsistency in his jurisprudential stance towards the New Deal legal scholars note that he had previously argued for a broad interpretation of government power in the 1934 case of Nebbia V New York and so his later vote in parish was not a complete reversal Roberts however had sided with the four conservative justices in finding a similar state minimum wage in New York unconstitutional in June 1936 because the announcement of the parish decision took place in March 1937 one month after Roosevelt announced his plan to pack the court it created speculation that Roberts had voted in favor of the Washington state minimum wage law because he had succumbed to political pressure however chief justice Charles Evans Hughes contended in his autobiographical notes that Roosevelt's attempt to pack the court had not the slightest effect on the court's ruling in the parish case and records showed that Roberts indicated his desire to uphold Washington state's minimum wage law two months prior to Roosevelt's court packing announcement in December 1936 on December 19 1936 two days after oral arguments ended for the parish case Roberts voted in favor of Washington state minimum wage law but the Supreme Court was divided 4 to 4 because Pro New Deal Associate Justice Harlan Fiske stone was absent due to an illness Hughes contended that this long delay in the parish cases announcement led to false speculation that Roosevelt's court packing plan intimidated the court into ruling in favor of the New Deal Robertson Hughes both acknowledged that because of the overwhelming support that had been shown for the New Deal through Roosevelt's re-election in November 1936 Hughes was able to persuade Roberts to no longer base his votes on his own political beliefs inside with him during future votes on New Deal related policies in one of his notes from 1936 Hughes wrote that Roosevelt's reelection forced the court to depart from its fortress in public opinion and severely weakened its capability to base its rulings on personal or political beliefs topic other rulings and Robert's Commission's Roberts wrote the majority opinion in the landmark case of new Negro Alliance V sanitary Grocery Co 303 u.s. 552 1938 which safeguarded the right to boycott in the context of the struggle by African Americans against discriminatory hiring practices he also wrote the majority opinion sustaining provisions of the second Agricultural Adjustment Act applied to the marketing of tobacco in Mulford V Smith 307 u.s. 38 1939 Roberts was appointed by Roosevelt to head the Commission investigating the attack on Pearl Harbor his report was published in 1942 and was highly critical of the US military an anti-war journalist John T Flynn wrote at the time that Roosevelt's appointment of Roberts was a masterstroke what the public overlooked was that Roberts had been one of the most glamorous among those screaming for an open declaration of war he had bought his robes taken to the platform in his frantic apprehensions and demanded that we immediately unite with Great Britain in a single nation the Pearl Harbor incident had given him what he had been yelling for America's entrance into the war on the war issue he was one of the president's most impressive allies now he had his wish he could be depended on not to cast any stain upon it in its infancy perhaps influenced by his work on the Pearl Harbor commission Roberts descended from the court's decision upholding internment of japanese-americans along the West Coast in 1944 s Korematsu V United States the second Roberts Commission was established in 1943 to consolidate earlier efforts on a national basis with the US Army to help protect monuments Fine Arts and Archives in war zones the Commission ran until 1946 when its activities were consolidated into the State Department Roberts also played a key role in the creation of the AHS art looting investigation unit Alou which investigated and documented Nazi plunder networks in Europe in his later years on the bench Roberts was the only justice on the Supreme Court who was not appointed or in the case of stone who had become chief justice promoted by President Franklin D Roosevelt Roberts became frustrated with the willingness of the new justices to overturn precedent and with what he saw as their result-oriented liberalism as judges Roberts dissented bitterly in the 1944 case of Smith v Allwright which found the white primary unconstitutional and overruled an opinion that had been written 19 years earlier by Roberts himself he coined in that dissent the oft quoted phrase that the frequent overruling of decisions tends to bring adjudications of this Tribunal into the same class as a restricted railroad ticket good for this day and train only topic retirement robert's retired from the court the following year in 1945 Roberts's relations with his colleagues had become so strained that fellow justice Hugo black refused to sign the customary letter acknowledging Roberts his service on his retirement other justices refused to sign a modified letter that would have been acceptable to black and in the end no letter was ever sent shortly after leaving the court Roberts reportedly burned all of his legal and judicial papers as a result there is no significant collection of Roberts manuscript papers as there is for most other modern justices Roberts did prepare a short memorandum discussing his alleged change of stance around the time of the court packing effort which he left in the hands of Justice Felix Frankfurter topic later life while in retirement Roberts along with Robert p-bass convened the Dublin declaration a plan to change the UN General Assembly into a world legislature with limited but definite an adequate power for the Prevention of war Robert served as the Dean of the University of Pennsylvania Law School from 1948 to 1951 he died at his Chester County Pennsylvania farm known as the Strickland Roberts homestead after a four-month illness he was survived by his wife Elizabeth Caldwell Rogers and daughter Elizabeth Hamilton Germantown Academy named its debate society after Owen J Roberts in his honor in addition a school district near Pottstown Pennsylvania the onj Roberts School District was named after him in 1946 Roberts was the first layperson elected to serve as president of the House of Deputies for the general convention of the Episcopal Church United States he served for one convention topic see also you topic notes equals equals citations

OCCULTURE 132: Janaka Stucky // Ecstatic Poetry, Jewish Mysticism & The Magic of Performance
[Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] hey yo from the kingdom of Ohio you are listening to the old culture podcast I'm your host Ryan Peverley welcome to the show thanks for the download and hopefully what you're about to hear is another upload of consciousness enhancing audio because we have a really cool chat coming up with Jonica Stuckey Jonica is a mystic poet performer and the founding editor of the award-winning press black ocean and he is here to talk about his latest book of poetry ascend ascend recently released by Jack White's publishing imprint third man books ascend ascend was written over the course of 20 days coming in and out of trance States brought on by internment and fasting and somatic rituals while Jonica secluded himself in the Tower of a 100-year old church the book is rooted in the Jewish mystical tradition of Merkabah literature chronicling an ascent up the Kabbalistic sefirot Jonica noted in his description of the book that traditional Merkabah prose tends to be rather dry and focused on preparations for the journey while sort of avoiding descriptions of the experience itself but ascend ascend I think skirts that Norman Jonica instead has chosen to document his entire journey which he describes as the ecstatic destruction of the self it's something firmly in my wheelhouse and I hope after an hour or so with Jonica that it's firmly in yours as well there is a 25-minute patreon extension with him and more on that after the chat but for now let's sit back relax and let Jonica lay some Icky Thump on us with what vice recently called his doom metal mysticism enjoy Jonica Stuckey thanks for being here man I really appreciate your time and I'm really excited to have you here although I think a better word might be ecstatic yeah thanks for having me Ryan I'm I'm excited too I save my I save my ex Tassie's for my poetry I guess yeah yeah me too although actually no I don't I don't write poetry but I do have a creative writing background and I did take a cocoa poetry classes in college yeah and it was always like to me I was never good at it because I think I was treating all my poems that I wrote for the classes is like hip-hop verse because I do a lot of hip-hop and then I realized well I mean that is poetry in a sense but it's not like poetry that we'll be talking about here today but I am curious you know when did you first I guess discover your interest in this medium because it's very underappreciated and undervalued in terms of art yeah well my involvement with poetry has been more or less lifelong the owe me I guess practice I've been involved with longer than poetry would actually be mysticism which I'm sure we'll get to in a minute but ice you know started writing poetry probably like a lot of people do when I was I don't know an elementary school as an exercise or something but by the time I was I would say like 14 I was writing it with some pretty serious intent and I was lucky enough to have some parents who really believed in the value of art and creative action and cultivated that interest in me by introducing me to a poet friend of theirs who was published and he sort of mentored me early on in eighth and ninth grade and gave me reading assignments and would take me on walks in the woods where we would read poetry out loud to the geese and the trees and it was a great early education and and through that I really developed not just a love for poetry but I think specifically an appreciation for the magical power of language as a as a material as a tool and speaking it as an out loud art yeah and I think that's what I like about hip-hop you know I just got a draw it back to that because that's like my own personal sort of grounding in this style I guess but yeah I do like the spoken word and and spoken rhyme and performance which I know will talk about here too but you said that mysticism was something that you have been involved in longer than poetry take us through your more mystical background you know I know you were raised Jewish I assume that's what you're talking about well actually so I my mother's side of the family is Jewish and you from a cultural perspective that was a big part of my upbringing and still is a big part of my family life but it really was more of a cultural Jewish upbringing than a religious Jewish upbringing and the family I guess would identify themselves as Reform Jews if they identified at all in terms of a denomination but really they were like progressive civil rights Jews involved in the civil rights movements in the 60s socialists anarchists you know New England Jews but my parents met while following a guru around the world they were sort of on tour with him and then they were married by him they lived in India for a while they left India for France where they opened their own Meditation Center and ran that briefly and then when my mom got pregnant they moved back to the United States and then after I was born we lived in a series of ashrams in Auckland and Miami and upstate New York and so from probably as early as early as I could walk or sooner earlier I was like sitting in my dad's lap during these big group meditation exercises attending chants with hundreds of people and these large meditation halls and kind of going from there so I affectionately refer to myself as a hinge ooh growing up growing up between those two traditions but even beyond that outside of the ashram whenever we were on vacation traveling somewhere or some sort of holy person mystical person was in the vicinity you know within a day's drive my parents would take me to see that person so that was like a Sufi in Philadelphia or you know any one of a number of sort of independent gurus whether they were Hindu aligned or not a Lama a psychic surgeon like you name it we probably went there at one point or another so some of them were charlatans and some I think were genuinely wise and profound individuals yeah that's interesting so you have a lot of in addition to Judaism you have a lot of like Eastern mysticism maybe kind of baked into your worldview yeah definitely I would say they and in fact probably more Eastern mysticism in terms of my early upbringing and it wasn't until later on in adulthood that I reconciled the progressive politics of my Jewish family with what I think is actually a deep Jewish mystical teaching in Kabbalah and then kind of was able to circle that back around to my more Eastern upbringing as well could you tell us a bit about how you did that then like how did you reconcile that did you see similarities in the systems or what well I think it really started a few years ago where my wife then fiance was taking intro to Judaism class and I decided to take that with her she was not raised Jewish but I wanted to convert so I had never you know I wasn't Mitzvahed I had never formally studied Judaism and I took this class with her and it was really eye-opening for me to fit I always just thought it was my family that was this quirky Jewish family who would have like fundraisers for the Black Panthers or demonstrate for Sacco and Vanzetti or something like that but I learned that that wasn't just my family that there was this tradition in modern or contemporary American Judaism that was very civil rights minded and that that was an extension of this Jewish teaching of tikkun olam which is repairing the world and in Jewish mainstream Jewish religion it kind of ends there but then as I went deeper outside of that class into Jewish Studies understanding that that teaching relates deeply to this Kabbalistic understanding of this broken vessel and with drawing of the essence of God and that you know the reality is this broken vessel that we're repairing and sort of trying to bring this divine essence back into it and you can repair that through cultivation of the self as well as cultivation of the world around you so that that was sort of like a newer learning and understanding for me over the last few years but it ties it to the previous 35 odd years of my life prior to that and really understanding that the redemption of the self goes hand in hand with the redemption of the world and that's the Vedic teaching that's in various Gita's and new panache odds and the bhagavad-gita that there's this through the perfection of the individual you prefer you perfect the world around the individual and so that that new understanding of the Jewish mystical tradition resonated deeply with my more Eastern religious upbringing and that was exciting to me because you know it felts it felt like a reconnection with my heritage you know in a really meaningful way as well as a way to start exploring what a contemporary Jewish mystical tradition might look like in art and what a contemporary Jewish poetry would look like as a now a published poet because my mystical Center has always been tied to my creative process as well well that's what I was going to ask next was like where these two interest sort of intersect or overlap I mean obviously your latest book that you publish ascend ascend is rooted in this Jewish mystical structure here but I am curious like if you went back in your own journey like if you could pinpoint a time when you really did start to merge those two you know sort of seemingly disparate parts of yourself into this this vehicle now that you're using yeah I would say it it started for me about probably 15 years ago and I was working on my master's thesis in poetry my thesis was it was called something like a cloud and its shadow poetry as meditation or meditation as poetry or something like that but the gist of it was that I had started playing around with different ways of writing from meditative States during my graduate work and you know and I had taken some classes in cultural criticism and I started feeling like that the creative act and the output of the creative act the art the poem was a way that we could bring something from the substrata to sort of borrow a quantum physical term from the substrata into the strata that then serves as a map for the audience to go back into the substrata or another way to phrase it would be if I can put myself into a meditative or ecstatic state or a trance state during the creative act and I'm able to successfully through the craft of my art capture that and that could be in a poem or it could be in a song or a painting or a sculpture then that artwork becomes a vessel for that energy and for that state of consciousness and the audience can then find their way back into that state of consciousness through the art itself that was sort of the proposal I put forth and supported through you know various other philosophical theories as well as some really interesting neurological studies about brainwave activity both in the creative state and when we were exposed to art and I think from that point onward I really started thinking about poetry as this having this potential for you know poetry as a mystical experience in and of itself that in a certain way religion then becomes a genre of art that's an interesting I don't know angle into that I've not really considered religion as a genre of art but I can sort of see that now you know it kind of goes on from there I think if then to sort of extend it several years later this is probably about ten years ago and maybe 11 years ago 2008 or 2009 there's this challenge called national poetry writing month in the month of April and people who want to participate you commit to writing a poem a day every day for the 30 days of April I had never done this before in and I'm not a prolific poet typically so the idea of writing 30 poems in 30 days was very daunting to me when I normally would write maybe like 12 poems a year or something like that so I actually turned to a novelist friend of mine who was who was very prolific and I asked him what the secret was to churning out thousands of words a day like he did and he told me oh well you got to create a ritual for yourself and you know in hindsight what he meant obviously was just routine right yeah you get up at 7:00 a.m. you make your coffee then you write for two hours and then you eat and then you go for a walk and then you know whatever it is whatever you're writing ritual is but because of my background I took him very literally and you know sort of my neurons fire like yeah ritual I love ritual so I developed a very you know like esoteric influence ritual for myself that involved incense and drone and meditation and candle light and trance States and even like a very specific drink I would pour myself every time and not enough to you know get actually inebriated but it was like a somatic trigger for inner intoxication so I did this and and I started writing from that place every day for these 30 days and the tenor of my poetry changed dramatically and I was writing poems in a voice that I had never written prior to that and decades prior to that so that was really interesting to me and I also thought it was the best stuff I had written up until that time and I've kind of never looked back in OVA and ever since then I've always used that as a place to write from that very intentionally go into a meditative or trance-like state and play a I can play with the ritual and do different things but the idea is always to get into that liminal state of consciousness where I'm becoming unattached from my body and unattached from the ego and there's a kind of beatification I think that comes from that state and the work itself not to sound precious but feels very otherworldly inspired from that place yeah and your poetry specifically has a couple of different of us call them like tags here or genre descriptors maybe one of them that we've sort of been talking around I want to just maybe define more directly is this term ecstatic poetry because it's it's not something that I'm too familiar with I mean I know what it is but I haven't really read a lot of it or I guess experienced a lot of it but I've been knee-deep in your work for a couple of weeks now and damn like this is the most ecstatic I felt when I've been reading poetry I guess first of all thank you for saying that it's been an interesting you know you talked about that I'd like to have you set different tags for poetry than the metadata for my writing I mean and that's a very real thing actually you know there there are all these online book databases and when you're publishing a book your editor or your publisher will ask you or hopefully will consult with you about what the metadata is for your book because that gets used not only in the Library of Congress but Amazon and you know all sorts of places and I would say that that tag ecstatic is actually something that somewhere along the way someone else attached to my poetry it's not one that I initially came up with for myself but it is apt and I think that there's a long tradition of ecstatic poetry both in Western tradition but definitely in Eastern traditions that dead its it root that this idea of ecstatic poetry is that the poetry becomes almost a devotional practice it's a connection between the poet and the other you know that divine other however you want to the Oversoul the Godhead whatever it is and that through that also hopefully that reader experience is that two and that both of that comes from a place of longing and so you will see romantic themes and ecstatic poetry especially in like Sufi poetry and actually a number of Hindu poets as well where they talk about that other that divine other as a lover because that is our human metaphor for that longing to merge with this essence and so you'll see that somewhat in this this my new book ascend ascend you'll also see a lot of that in my previous book the truth is we are perfect and I think that's actually where this we're talking about my poetry is ecstatic poetry came from in my new book the the foreword is written by Pam Grossman I don't know if you familiar with her about it yeah Pamela is gonna be on the show soon Oh perfect yeah so she wrote the foreword to this new book ascend ascend and I met her because she wrote a review of my last book and got that book picked up on the ecstatic tones in that book in a way that no other reviewer had where if you come to the book as a book of love poems it can read just as love poems but there is this other devotional almost divine element to it and indeed a number of those poems in that book I wrote as love poems to the goddess Kali without actually explicitly naming her in any of those poems so when I read Pam's review I was like this woman gets it and we've since become friends and when I was talking with my editor about this new book ascend ascend and feeling like that you know for people who haven't read this book it's a book-length poem that is says this kind of maximalist surreal insane journey up the Kabbalistic Tree of Life through the for material plains and witnessing the heavenly palaces and being devoured by Leviathan angels I mean it's intense stuff and so I felt like I wanted a little context setting with the book before I just dumped it on readers and we were talking about maybe having some one way to flow to it and that's that's why I asked him to do it I couldn't imagine anyone else doing it but yeah and I think that's where the this ecstatic came from and and you mentioned the you know you've been sitting with it and reading with it and having your own kind of ecstatic experiences and it's really cool to hear the book has only been out for a few weeks now but I've been touring a lot behind it and I will continue to tour pretty heavily behind it and when I perform I sort of have two types of performances I'm doing for this book I do these really deep immersive ritualistic performances that take about an hour and I perform the book in its entirety I do it within a magic circle of my own design and we have fresh flowers and incense and beeswax candles and all these different magical objects I mean it's an immersive ritual and I'm doing only really seven of those around the country in conjunction with the organization Atlas obscura but outside of those immersive rituals even when I do a quote-unquote reading I go back into this ecstatic trance like state when I read the work when I recite to work and so the the performances themselves are very charged and I just did four cities this last week I got back on Sunday and at every one of those shows at least one person cried turning my performance and came out to me afterwards and you know said that like that they were just they had also entered this kind of ecstatic strange place with me was pretty gratifying to hear as an artist you know yeah let me jump in and say something about that because I did get moved at points to tears during this but let me tell you how I did though it wasn't me reading sort of silently to myself is like I was reading certain passages out loud to myself because I just liked him so much that's when I sort of hear the words and that in those moments like me hearing my own voice I guess or channeling something like maybe whatever you sort of embedded into there yourself like I was channeling that and I was just sitting here on my couch like holy [ __ ] like why am I so moved by this but it's it's a beautiful piece of art and you know we'll have you read some of it here later if you're up for it but the performative aspect is something I really wanted to talk to you about because you know I've long thought I guess I know how long I'd really thought this but for a few years now that music was the highest form of art if you had to sort of categorize it man but now I I see performance as may be equal to or maybe even surpassing that in some way because I've realized the power of performing in front of people of performing in yourself and being able to to channel these different aspects of whatever you're channeling I don't even know maybe it's channeling art with a capital A or the muse or spirit it's sort of disembodied but not dis embodying if that makes sense right you're sort of inhabiting this different space within yourself that you're not really used to and I was reading in conjunction with this I was reading about something about performance as sort of like psychotherapeutic if that makes sense yeah sort of kind of allows you to remove yourself directly from the situation but still be able to process everything that's going on inside of you and around you just in a different way by sort of acting it out and I thought wow that's pretty powerful you know and I don't know if you've heard anything like that before but absolutely I think that I think that performance is I mean what did you say music as the highest art is that what you were saying yeah yeah yeah and you know to go back to one of my early statements about religion being a genre of art I'll sort of say you know I'll change the phrasing a little bit and say if performance is the highest form of magic and that goes way back that goes millennia back to this idea of drama theater religion ritual you know actually one of your frequent guests Peter Bieber Gaul in his latest book strange frequencies he has this great line where he says I'm not going to quote him exactly but whether it's the shaman or the witch or the magician it's the performative moment it's in the performative moment that our consciousness is altered okay and that I really believe as a poet and that's why I love to tour because the writing of the work is half of is half of it and then the performance of it whether I'm performing it or whether you as you mentioned are reading it aloud to yourself is the other half that's the incantation and the work has to be enacted through this lyric ritual of recitation and then in that moment we become our most intimate version of ourselves or we become free or we merge with the other and I'm so glad to hear that you did try reading it out loud and that it did affect you on that level Pam talks about that in her forward to my book too is that she went out into the woods and she read the work out and that wasn't my suggestion she just went out there hadn't read the book aloud to herself and also have this kind of mystical experience doing it and to me I you know that's not I don't want it like it's easy for that to sound like oh my my books so good it's gonna do this for you but I just think that that's that's a hallmark of any successful work of art I don't think that my art that my work is exceptional in that way but then that's the hallmark of great work and William Blake has a line about you know that great art arouses the faculties to act and that's that's what I want to do with it to bring it back to the kabbalah for a minute you know kabbalists believe that the Torah in its entirety is just one long crypto name for God basically that the Torah and its entirety you don't have to read it for its literal meanings you don't have to read it for its Allan coracle meanings you can even do away with the Midrash and all the Rabbinical interpretations that just the the language those letters is a is a locus that is the name of God and when I set out to write this book ascend ascend I wanted to write a name for God and I think of that this book this book length wild weird poem that has a lot of infernally imagery in it as well as divine imagery in it and a lot of really corporal physical body stuff going on in it so you know it's not all angels and light and everything but that this that the text and its entirety I set out to write as a name for God as a way to articulate this experience in its entirety I think articulating articulating a mystical experience is a way of pronouncing a name for God and so of course that's gonna have some vibration you know and that should be spoken I don't that's where I diverge from the Kabbalists they don't think it should be it should be spoken aloud it'll bring about the eschaton at the end of the world I think it should be spoken in a sense I guess I'm reading an allegory there it'll bring out the end of the self they ask a ton of the self the death of the ego and and in that we have our mystical experiences and that kind of divine well while we're on the topic of mystical experiences you know tell people a little bit about the experience you had that really sort of brought you into the state to write this book because I know that you secluded yourself somewhere you may have done some psychedelics as well tell people a little bit about how you ended to these trance States to write this new book of yours yeah well before writing the book itself the sort of seed for the book was planted years earlier in that my first and only time smoking DMT had a pretty incredible vision on it and afterwards I was describing my vision to a friend of mine and he said oh it sounds like you saw the Makabe and this was before I had gotten I had sort of had this immersion in Jewish mysticism that I talked about and so I didn't I wasn't familiar with that word macabre and I asked him and he said all markaba that's the it's the chariot of God the the Jewish chariot of God that's described in Ezekiel's vision and there's this whole tradition of macabre literature you should check out so I went back and I read Ezekiel vision and I said yeah that's what I saw like Ezekiel is describing my DMT experience you know I'll caveat and say that I think also you could describe it as a UFO abduction or terence mckenna's machine Elves or you know there are a whole bunch of different cultural lenses through which to view this vision that I had but it felt very true and so I was interested that got me curious about it but I sort of back-burnered it and kind of okay bookmark that for a later excellent exploration at some point and then years passed and I found myself at this artist residency up in New Hampshire and a really beautiful piece of property called the star and snake and it's owned and run by a couple who are artists themselves and they bought this hundred-year-old church and have turned it into an art church at Temple for creativity really and they run these residences twice a year specifically for artists in any medium who have a cult or esoteric influences on their creative process so I went up there actually not to write this book to write a different book that was supposed to be a book-length aleejack love poem to John Jay and on the eve of my departure I lost all my notes for that other book that John's in a love poem and I'd been making notes for like two years this book as I mentioned I'm not a prolific poet and the way my process works as I sort of accumulate language and fragments and then I will seclude myself and meditate and do the go into these states and then kind of regurgitate that language that I've been accumulating as notes back into uh into poems I lost that notebook the night before I was supposed to leave so I was devastated and I showed up at this artist residency now I never done a retreat like this before it was a huge luxury and privilege created to take that much time off from my job from my family I run an independent press and to take time away from that and I'd put it all on hold and now I'm showing up and I have no clue what I'm gonna write and I sort of found my way into this and it you know lucky for me there are these artists there who who have you know I guess we call them like armchair kabbalists or some of whom were fellow mites and so you know we were having these conversations you know in the evenings or in the mornings or whatever when we weren't right creating and I got really interested in maybe going back and exploring that vision that I had on DMT except this time doing it in the longer form without the aid of pharmaco gnosis and doing it self generated through mystical visions and that's what I set out to do and then that's what I ended up doing and I sort of as a structure for the book I thought about the sefirot of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life are divided into like the four material world so it starts with earth and then you have air above Earth and then you have water above air and then you have fire as the fourth and final material world and that's how the book is structured and then I have a couple of interstitial sections for like the veil and the abyss and these shorter pieces but the four long sections reflect the ascension through the four material worlds kind of stripping away the body and then the ego and the consciousness as you make your way from Earth until you're burned up in fire and so writing that I would spend a few days writing each material world or each interstitial and for each one I cultivated a series of kind of I call them somatic rituals to go with them so for example for Earth to start with I would spend that whole day walking around barefoot and like smoking tobacco and doing these different kind of contemplations and meditations to really absorb that vibration that earthy vibration into my body and then use that energy to charge my meditation and then my contemplation and the writing that came out and different things along the way so yeah I thought that was a pretty intense sounding experience and I got a question for you about that like actually may tie back to the performance aspect of your work as well but I'm curious like when you were either in those trance States whether it was induced by psychedelics or otherwise or when you're on stage or when you're in this performative ritualistic space what does that look like to you what does that feel like because I've mentioned this on the podcast at least once that I can remember of finding myself in this space where my eyes are closed and I'm literally just seeing geometric patterns and shapes and it was brought on during sexual intercourse so it was a very intense you know sort of space there and I've never experienced that before and I've been able to experience it since again but only in that same environment so I'm curious of the space that I was inhabiting in those moments is similar to something like a DMT trip or a performance that you're just so sort of immersed in like does this sound familiar at all yeah well yeah and and when I was before when I was kind of talking about the different ways to bring about mystical I do think that sexual energy and is a tried-and-true method for it you know whether you're talking about tantric sex or sex magic or just like a really amazing sexual encounter that kind of shakes something loose and awakened something in you I think that all of those whether it's a psychedelic experience a sexual experience an aesthetic experience they are varieties of mystical experience and I think that there is overlap there but that they are also there will be different distinct qualities to them you know there's a reason why visions had on DMT they activate and suppress certain elements of our brain and so you know like in dr. Stross man's book DMT the spirit molecule I think he administered DMT to something like 200 patients and discovered this remarkable similarity in experience between all 200 subjects right that without consulting each other that they would come back and give him these trip reports and they would sound like they had seen the same beings or had very similar experiences and I think that that can be true also with other types of drugs or other types of meditation practices and so in that way it's actually really exciting that you know if you're a psycho not you can then explore those different things and and I think even meditation is a is actually a really big blanket term because there are so many different ways to meditate you can do Kundalini meditation you can do breath work you can do visualizations you can do mantras and then within those mantras you can do all sorts of different mantras and I think that each one of those practices brings about a different type of mystical experience a different quality to it and in that sense it's really fun to play around with them but I think that one thing that you asked about you know in terms of my performance what does that look like or feel like for me for me when I'm in that place and whether that is a drug-induced place or meditation induced place or performance induced trance or like a profound sexual experience is that what happens is the point of the action that's happening is each individual moment of its unfolding and so I become I become unattached from the outcome and free from this longing toward a certain end point and I'm living in that in each moment moment to moment as it unfolds and to me that's that's the heart of the mystical experience and that can come with different types of visuals with different types of auditory stuff different physical sensations but whatever it is you're living in those in that immediate now that immediate unfolding yeah it's yeah I don't even know what to say in response to that because I'm sort of missing that experience right now or I'm not like missing it I'm I'm sort of like yeah longing for it yeah good good good word there that's why you're the published poet and I am NOT you know I am curious though to go back to sort of the Jewish mystical roots here of the work and of your life I guess and to go back to the the tags that are associated with your work you know you mentioned Kabbalah and that influence that it's had on you there's a tag here this ascension literature or this and I don't know how to say this H word so correct me if I'm wrong but is it hang a lot that's how I pronounce it I was on a Jewish podcast where one of the hosts she could pronounce it really well I say I say heck heck a lot but I think it's like a lot or some you know okay yeah yeah tell us a little about what this heck a lot / ascension literature is and how it ties to Kabbalah and how it fits into your work yeah so so there are sort of two separate but overlapping genres of Jewish mystical literature and one is markaba literature and one is heck a lot literature and Makabe is the chariot of God so that's the books of the chariot and then a heck a lot is the heavenly palaces so together we kind of say the books of the chariot and heavenly palaces or something like that and they describe slightly different things so the the Makabe stuff is really it's like Ezekiel's vision where it's really just talking about this chariot of God with like flaming Seraphim and wheels spinning in the sky and beings of light and stuff and then the heck alot literature is a little more about like it's a little more of a hero's journey or a pilgrimage that is and usually in comes with some sort of instructions of how to unlock and then move through the various heavenly palaces as you make your way kind of to ein soften this unspeakable divine presence but then the short hand term for that you could just say it's like ascension literature so that that's kind of the genre that I started to play with and the interesting thing was I hadn't really read a lot of it and I wasn't really familiar with the poetics of it before attempting this work and what I had read was actually frankly pretty boring to me there are some standout texts I think Ezekiel's vision is pretty great but for the most part a lot of it felt rather legal and dry in terms of talking about the various preparations and the sort of esoteric mechanisms for combining and recombining the names of God or the names of angels in order to achieve your ascension but then when it came to describing the experience itself the texts fell really short if they even attempted it at all oftentimes it would just the rabbi or the mystic or whoever wouldn't say something to the effect of all but it's indescribable I can't talk about it you know it's like wow you know you got me all worked up and now and then it's like where's the money shot so I thought you know I get it it's indescribable it's ineffable that's the very nature of it but what better way to attempt that and through poetry because poetry is a kind of speech that is able to convey something without actually being able to say it that is what we do as poets and so so I got really excited about this idea of being less concerned with a instructional magical text of saying like well you have to fast and then you have to do this and then you have to save the name 27 times and then you have to take this letter and carry the 1 or whatever sweep all that aside because I think you can get doesn't really matter how you get to the place that what I wanted to do was going back to what I was saying earlier put myself into that state capture that state as art and then convey that convey the aesthetic experience to someone else so that they can find their way back into that state through the work because then you don't need to spend 20 years learning all this crypto magic and to me that's the value of mysticism I should say is that it's non-hierarchical again where I diverge from the Kabbalists as you know traditionally women aren't supposed to study Kabbalah no man under 40 is supposed to study Kabbalah it is an occult knowledge but I've been a spiritual anarchist for quite a long time and so I I believe in a much more intuitive direct form of approaching it and to me both that spiritual anarchy and this idea of poetry as a form of radical worship go hand in hand and so on the one hand it is in this tradition of Ascension literature and I think on the other hand it deviates from it but that again is the heart of mysticism that it has to always be made fresh and always be made new raus it's not mystical it's not personal it's not non hierarchical it then becomes it becomes the old guard it becomes the structure that it's set out to abolish and I guess through that destruction it renews it well you mentioned the word radical in there and I was curious what you meant by that exactly because I think that it's fair to say that you see poetry as a radical and I am curious like what that word actually means to you or what you mean when you describe poetry as a radical yeah yeah I'm trying to think about how to say it concisely I think you know I guess I would call upon some greater thinkers than I Susan Sontag has a quote about she says ordinary language is an accretion of lies and in that sense literature poetry becomes a language of transgression and if you think about that ordinary languages is the building blocks of our oppression it's what we use and when I say oppression I mean both the oppressive in a very real way a political oppression in a propaganda oppression an oppression of hierarchy and patriarchy but also an oppression of reality the system of reality and so I think poetry then becomes this language of transgression a way to rupture these systems and shatter that psychic impression and in that sense I do see poetry as that has a radical function and to take a step further that mystical texts or ecstatic poetry is an exceptional form of that because the mystical experience is is magical and surgical that it conjures and it unifies and so that when we talk about a mystical experience or a mystical poetry we're experiencing that numinous other and through that experience it's an it becomes an antidote to fundamentalism and we're in we're in really fundamentalist times right now so when we lose the self we gain this we gain this knowledge of the other and that feels really radical to me that this idea of social transformation through personal experience now before we go here man I have someone to point out use the word phantasmagoria in the first poem I always enjoy seeing that word in print or heard in conversation and it's the only reason I'm mentioning it out so I can just throw it on tape here but I would like it if you'd share some of your poetry with us and get into that performative state or get yourself into that performative state if you can and I was wondering if and I know it's kind of lengthy but if you wouldn't mind reading that whole first poem that first sort of chapter I guess in this book yeah [Music] blessed is the Lotus the day's bleeding wound' blessed are the spiders their alphabet 26 stones my corpse is dancing blessed are the worms the maggots sexless and probing like tongues through the rotting soil blessed is the loam blessed is the loam the darkness mushrooms blooming teeth pushing through the Earth's black and putrid gums blessed is the Maw the great MA the mouth and gnashing

not you talking it is ancestors of ancestors speaking with centuries upon centuries of mouths it is not you alone desiring it is a galaxy of descendants desiring down the long fathomless pillar of your infinite heart for between the void and the abyss you alone struggle and are imperiled and in your small earthen chest one thing alone struggles and is imperiled and when the cry comes the cry comes in the cryptic tongue to pass beyond my body bastion of sugar and bone my body monstrously shining above black like in rivers its curse like a star of blood erupting from my throat a promise roaring jackals howling awful and grim my body my body lust magnificent views of Byzantium crucified awakened me and me among my body idle and brutal let light Thunder the first to adorn my body my

butterfly I am penetrated by great hemlocks blackening the moonless sky I am penetrated by water by dreams by lightning cracks and mute night by night by night thick as death that must be death I am penetrated by death and cannot see and beneath the night sky the universe of every i judging acutely with their small fires igniting to the orchard within me the path of names every word along the way

purity EO purity this vision of purity erect for the brief bliss of the void with their pestilential breath abating I leave the hazel cops I depart through nameless numberless years climb the cosmic mountain parapets of Jasper shining above the waning Cypress wading through thickets of mallow I approach the navel of the earth from the trunk of a gum tree I fashioned the sacred pole anoint it and climb belligerently ascend and climb further still I climb and disappear into the sky oh man that was intense so tell us a little bit about what that means well I mean that's that's the first material worlds that's earth and you know it doesn't I don't know if it means anything other than that it's you know each section is an is an attempt to really just capture a visceral experience of that stage of Ascension and so I start there and it's it's carnal its physical its sexual it's painful it's you know it's all those things it's all it's all these things that it is to inhabit a body I guess and to inhabit a body in this world and you know and then at the end it's like the first stepping off point it's the first that first moment of levitation where I'm not leaving my body yet I don't leave my body yet for a few more chapters in the book but I'm leaving the earth behind and that's that's that ascension into the disappearing into the sky at the end is the is sort of the beginning of the ascension yeah absolutely man so hey tell people where they can keep up with you and your work where they can find the book and you have any performances online that they could check out as well yeah so probably the the best place to if you want to find anything about me is just my website it's my name Jonica Stuckey com all my tour dates the most up to date tour schedule is there I'm doing about 30 to 35 dates around the country between now and the end of the year including those seven really immersive atlas obscura events that I mentioned that are these bigger rituals I've done too already in New York and DC but this fall I'm doing LA Seattle Chicago Denver and Philly so if people want to catch those it's a pretty wild experience and some of them I'm doing with other live musicians as well and then you know I'm on all the social media is not that active on Twitter but I'm there probably most active on Instagram where I'm not only posting stuff from tour but I like to post I'm a book fetishist as well so I like to post pictures of books and if people want to keep up with what I'm reading and maybe get some reading racks I like to post stuff on Instagram as well and then I've got a bunch of stuff on my website you can get my book there of course you can get it from Amazon directly from third man I have a very limited edition illustrated version of my book coming out with the UK publisher foger press they're only doing a hundred and seventy-five copies on like this really beautiful Italian paper those he can get at full Gers website if people are familiar with them their publisher of the intersection of visual culture and magic they're amazing published or some equally excited to have a an edition out with them but yeah I get it from third man get it from any publisher and you can also get it from my website I sell signed copies from my website if that's your thing so find me in the ether and in the world those are the best places to find people right yeah so Hodge Annika Stuckey man thanks so much for the time really appreciate it hope to talk to you again soon hey thanks Ryan I had a great time talking with you and there you have it my thanks again to Jonica Stuckey what a performer and what a performance that was there at the end and that's just audio you should see some of his live in-person performances oh my word you know he mentioned that Atlas obscura tour he's on now that will continue into the fall very limited dates I'll link it in the show notes if you're interested and I think I'm gonna actually try to get to the show in either Chicago or Philadelphia that's like a nice reason to venture out of the kingdom of Ohio for a couple of days and do not underestimate the power of performance in your own life and the understanding or inner standing that it can bring to you for the life of me I can't find the article I was reading on the psychotherapeutic benefits of performance that I mentioned to Jonica during the chat but from what I recall the point of it was that by acting out a scenario that's been safe frustrating you you act out a fictional version of that scenario and then study the sort of instinctual reactions you have to it which again allows for a deeper understanding of yourself and how you process information and how you emotionally respond to it seems to work well with individuals and it also seems to work well with couples so next time someone calls you dramatic you have an excuse you're just trying to better understand yourself in the situation you are in where that [ __ ] like a crown well maybe just save that for an internet moment with your partner or your psychotherapist and if you're an artist of any sort let's not forget the understanding you can gain from your own work by performing it in some way I'm sure any poet or musician or writer gains a tremendous amount of insight about a piece of art by reading it or playing it out loud or acting it out as if they were part of the work itself because these pieces once created they are now an entity in and of themselves and what better way to understand them than to immerse yourself in them in such an emotive and visceral way anyway in the patreon extension we talked about finding the show's mantra of love yourself think for yourself and question authority embedded into John ACCA's poetry which led into discussions about John ACCA's spiritual anarchism poetry as a form of protest activism from a place of love versus activism from a place of anger poetry as both the ergy and thaumaturgy destruction of the self and ego death Jonathas meditation experience where he turned into a mountain and living in a pirate utopia we also talked about being among a group of the first poets to take the stage at the Newport Folk Festival and meeting Jack White backstage and maybe possibly we touched on Jack White's occult interests and hey my thanks to new patrons Michelle Scott Tom Michael and Matt and two returning patron Terence they joined the patreon campaign recently and you can too at patreon.com slash old culture where there's four levels of support that will get you early access to all episodes access to each extended episode just kind of merchandise access to those full-length raw episodes you hear teasers for in the free feeds a link to the show's discord channel which I rarely check access to our after dark patron exclusive chats whenever I find time for those an automatic entry into our monthly giveaways there's still time to sign up for that star board giveaway by the way I'll culture at protonmail calm if you are interested anyway I have some emotional drama to act out in hopes of better understanding myself and why I'm so [ __ ] up talk about a neverending story am i right so until next time you've just been initiated into a culture I am Ryan Peverley reminding you to love yourself think for yourself and question [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] please rewind this castle

If you're NEW this is for YOU 👉 TerraMaster F2-212 NAS review
what's up internet a couple of months ago teram Master sent us a Nas and we liked it a lot and still use it in the shop now but that particular model was really overkill for what the average home user needs so for this video ter Master sent us another Nas a 2bay model which is much more in keeping with what the average customer would need what's a Nas and why should you care basically it's a big USB that's attached to your network so for example example you download video files using your desktop save it to the Nas and then you can access those video files through any device TV mobile phone tablet that's attached to your network hard drive filling up with work files photos videos dump all of them onto a Nas you can still access them anytime but it frees up storage on your local device and since it's attached to the network you can access the nas through the internet so even when when you're not at home even when you're not connected to your home network you still have access to all of the files on the nas so a Nas is super handy to have it's like having personal cloud storage but is it easy to set up that's what we'll be tackling in today's video this particular model of teram Master is it dummy proof and that includes me because it's the first time that I've installed a Nas is this the ideal model for beginners now I know you're excited to get on with the nas but first things first when you buy a Nas n you also need to buy the drives the storage that you will install into the nas regardless of brand that's industry practice the drives are sold separately a little annoying but from the point of view of the manufacturers verus brands for storage and you do need to take a look on what drives are recommended for your particular Nas this isn't like Ram where usually most Ram can be stuck into most systems there are very clear models of storage whether hard drives or ssds that you want to be using in particular Nas enclosures and storage brands have specific lines dedicated to being used in Nas so that's the Iron Wolf line for Seagate the red line for WD and other manufacturers call them different things but they usually have a dedicated product line for use in Nas now turning back to teras out of the I would have like printed instructions what you get is a QR code and it's a generic QR code when you scan it you get sent to the instructions for your specific model but you just get sent to a generic page where you have to pick your model and it's not that easy to be honest to find out what model of Nas you have yes of course you bought it you might be expected to know it but again if you're a super beginner all of these letters and numbers can very quickly blur into each other the thamas did come with some nice stickers and nice meaning they are useful because you can stick them on the drive to label your hard drives to make things more organized but the stickers themselves don't come with the model number and you have to actually look at the unit do the technical specifications on one side to find the model number again very easy for teis but if you're a beginner you might be sweating a little bit at this point again all those letters and numbers can be confusing but once you get sorted out the instructions are useful straightforward the pictures make sense pull out the drive tray install the hard drive or the SATA SSD Slide the tray back in you're pretty good although I had a little problem one of the Rails wasn't on properly so drive into the nas but everything worked out with a little pushing so again I am 100% a beginner in all of this also which is why I found the Viewpoint of is it good for beginners very interesting one loophole not addressed in the instructions is where to plug in the nas for teis again it's common sense that you would plug it into your router so that everything on the network can attach it all of the time but for beginners that's not immediately apparent and some people might plug it in to their computer into their desktop you could do that but it's not very useful when you turn off your desktop there goes the connection of the nas to the network so a little more handholding would have been helpful even with this very basic step once everything is set up on the hardware and setting up the nas itself is relatively straightforward there were some scary messages about incompatibility again depending on what drive you use and I did get one message saying that the nas couldn't read my drive but I guess it sorted itself out because at the end of the insallation process okay na sh I was asked to name the Nas and supposedly you can use that name in order to access it but that didn't work out with me but the provided IP address works just fine this is very familiar to anyone who has had to access their router and so again the theme if you're even a little bit technically inclined setting up the Nas is pretty straightforward if you're a complete beginner it's still doable but it takes a little courage once the Nas is set up the UI is also straightforward very similar to Windows or Apple you can create folders drop files in there are status bars on the transfer of files everything is intelligible if you've used a modern computer so overall this is very doable even for the most basic Tech user yes there was some bumps along the way yes there was some knowledge that was assumed where it shouldn't have been assumed it could have been smoother but overall the nas does pretty much work straight out of the box and if you're a beginner that wants to experiment with nas this teram Master model is something you might be interested in even for the most basic level computer user the setup is doable with some courage and we'll probably do a future video on the cool things that you can do with the nas for now I just wanted to give a general overview of the unit and see it from the point of view of a beginner starting out because anas is super useful even if you're not super techy thanks for watching full service PC hardar comp fully assembled rigs we clean computers excellent cable management and CPU Cooler repasting cleaning we also clean

Respite - Speedpaint
Yooo, look who's back! Anyhow, y'all know the drill. It's time for some self-critique and explaining. So the character's an OC I made and his name is Hunter. I don't wanna say much more than that because it'll ruin the fun. His story will most certainly be something... And, you might've noticed. Beeps and boops! Music! It ain't that good, and I sure didn't make it last 5:38 minutes. However, it's acceptable. I'm what they call a novice, but practice makes perfect. The same goes for my rendering and line art skills. Also, there's a black bar down here 👇👇👇 It's probably because of the screen being a bit to big... Moving on... The sketch's arms were a bit to long and the overall proportions could use some work. The line art could've been cleaner, the colors better in some areas and the overall rendering could've been crispier. Overall: mid. I'm probably going to redo this video when I've improved a lot. Or at least something similar. I wasted a lot of time on unnecessary things when doing this drawing but now I know how to avoid that. That's about it... I'll see ya another time, laters.

ELA, 3rd Grade, 4/27, Wondering 1
[Music] hi everybody my name is Miss Eckert and I usually teach at Sana's low Elementary School in West Seattle but for now like you I am at home and right now I'm very grateful for books because those have been my friends during this long long period at home I hope you have some good books or some books that you can read online to keep you company - today I'm going to be reviewing some things about expository nonfiction which is a genre you've probably heard about if you can't remember it we'll just revisit it today expository nonfiction often uses these text features the author writes about things that are true and real information generally some effects in this one in this chart I'm showing that expository nonfiction uses photographs captions that tell more about the photographs often an expository nonfiction you'll find a table of contents where you can find certain chapters in the book an index some bold words that are often defined in the glossary and many other text features like maps diagrams or text boxes in today's book you're going to hear expository nonfiction texts called flashy fantastic rainforest frogs written by Dorothy Henshaw Patton and illustrated by Kendall Jan juh in this expository nonfiction you're going to hear a lot of true facts about rainforest frogs but you won't necessarily find a lot of the text features that are on our chart the illustrator instead of using photographs has chosen to draw things and pink things this is a picture of the rainforest most of us have never been to a rainforest but they grow thickly with plants and trees they're located in warm parts of the earth with lots and lots of rainfall many different kinds of animals and plants live there including monkeys parrots leopards crocodiles frogs they all live in tropical rainforests before we read I want you to get your brain ready for the information that's to come by asking yourself some questions the first question is what do you think you know about frogs the topic of our book think about what you've seen heard read about frogs that you know in your life already and based on what you know what do you wonder about frogs that live in a rain forest what questions might you have about them when we ask ourselves questions and we wonder about things we get our brains ready for some learning that we might find out in the book we may not but the author often answers some questions and wonderings that we have along the way that helps us become more active learners we think about what we're going to be reading before we read it and our brain is actively engaged in the reading as we go along with the pages a couple of things I've heard third graders wonder before are these things our rainforest frogs like pond frogs and why our rainforest frogs so colorful those are two wandering third graders and fourth graders have had in the past let's find out if our author addresses these questions as we read flashy fantastic rainforest frogs this book is published by the developmental studies Center the first part of the read the section I read is going to tell about the different kinds of rainforest frogs listen for information that you didn't know before flashy and fantastic flashy means colorful and bright that's what rainforest frogs are they aren't just green or brown like ordinary frogs they can be blue or orange they may have red stripes or pink bellies some are smaller than your thumb and others are as big as kittens they look different from frogs near your home but in important ways they are the same like all frogs they have moist skin big eyes and long hind legs the male's croak to attract females which then lay eggs without shells I'm going to stop here and based on what you just heard what are you wondering I've heard some third graders add the question why don't frogs eggs have shells let's see if we find out if our question or our wonder is answered as we read on the male's croak to attract females which then lay eggs without shells the next part of the book I'm gonna read describes the tropical rainforest habitat or where the frogs live the tropical rainforest is a very special place it never freezes instead of summer and winter the rainforest has a wet and a dry season even during the dry season it often rains the rainforest looks like a tropical garden plants grow everywhere even on other plants at the top of the rainforest is the canopy where the trees spread their leaves to gather sunlight below the canopy is the understory the understory is made up of tree trunks vines and bushes the forest floor is shaded by the plants above so often little grows there based on what you just heard what are you wondering now a couple more questions pop into our brains at various times in the book it's a good thing to encourage our questions it still keeps us actively engaged as we read the rest of the story some questions I've heard are which part of the rainforest do the frogs live in do they live in upper part called the canopy the next level called the understory or the forest floor and why do frogs need such a wet place to live again we're acting our brain activating our brain so that we can learn more information that the author tells us and see if the author answers any of our questions the forest floor is shaded by the plants above so often little grows there the last part I'm going to read aloud to late today tells where frogs live in the rainforests and what they eat many frogs live in the canopy and the understory they may never come down to the ground their legs are long and thin for climbing from branch to branch their toes have wide sticky tips that help them cling or hold on to the branches and leaves other frogs spend their whole lives on the forest floor and never enter the water they don't need to because the error is so wet only a few live in or near ponds and streams most rainforest frogs eat insects there are so many crickets moths termites ants and other insects in the forest that frogs have plenty to eat big frogs may go beyond eating in text insects some large horned frogs have green and brown bodies that blend perfectly or match camouflage with the florist the forest floor these frogs don't hunt for food they just sit and wait they can eat almost anything it comes their way even mice and small rats let's add another question to our chart students have added after this point in the text how can a frog swallow a rat or a mouse it is interesting to think a small animal like a frog could swallow something as big as a mouse or a rat I'm curious to see if the author tells us in this the answer to this question in the next section of the book we will stop here for today and continue wandering and questioning tomorrow but for now let's think a little bit about what we've had learned and read about so far at the beginning of the book we learned a bit a little bit about how rainforest frogs looked their sizes and colors and that they lived in moist places we also learned that lead lived in a tropical rainforest and saw pictures of a tropical rainforest and what it looks like we learned there are several parts of the tropical rainforest the canopy the understory and the forest floor we also learn where some of the forest frogs lived using the pictures to help us retell a story also helps us remember what we read so I do like to use that as a strategy when I'm thinking about what I learned and understood in a book and we also learned that rainforest frogs eat a lot of insects that are found in different places such as bugs crickets termites and moths small rats and mice as well which led us to a wonder about how they could swallow something so big when they're apparently rather small let's go back to our chart about our wanderings and questions and seeing if the author answered any of our our wonderings we did find out that rainforest frogs were alike in some ways and different in some ways than pond frogs they differed in their colors and sometimes in their sizes and the fact that they lived in very wet climates all the time and warm another wondering we had was why rainforest frogs are so colorful the author hasn't answered that question yet but make at some point we wondered where the tiny frogs lived was it in the canopy or the understory or the forest floor and which part of the rainforest did the frogs live in we also wondered why their eggs didn't have shells in our reading the author hasn't answered that question but again maybe tomorrow and why do frogs need such a wet place to live it did talk about them needing to be in warm wet climates in the story but we didn't know exactly why and how can a frog swallow a rat or mouse which is yet to be answered as well so now that we have a lot of wonderings and questions we'll listen for those things tomorrow as we read aloud some more and find out if the author answers or the illustrator answers any of our questions again doing this gets our mind ready to learn information and be an active participant as stories are read to us or as we read today during your IDR I would like you to spend some time listening to a story or reading a story a nonfiction expository is best to see what you can learn and wonder about as you read remember that the books that you can choose during independent reading time can be in whatever language you're comfortable with one thing we want to focus on when we're reading and we come to something that's difficult or that we don't understand is how to use a fix up strategy to make it more understandable to us here are two IDR fix up strategies that we've learned so far we can go and reread the confusing part slowly and carefully I often do this when I'm reading books especially nonfiction books on a subject I don't know much about to see if I can go back reread it again slowly and think more carefully the second time what is the author teaching me or telling me Here I am reading a book a nonfiction or it's a biography about Ruth Bader Ginsberg right now she's one of the Supreme Court justices and in this book there's a lot of difficult parts I don't really understand law very well for example over here this page kind of made me very confused so when I went back and reread it I made sure to pay attention to the sidebars here to give me some more information and help explain what was going on in this part of the book what the laws actually meant so I reread and once I reread I could figure out the part that was more confusing to me another strategy that you can use is read ahead to look for more information you don't have to read very far ahead maybe just a page to see if some information that the author is about to give us will will help us understand what we're currently reading those are two IDR fix up strategies that I would you to use today as you read your nonfiction text remember you can reread the confusing part see if it gives you any more help to understand what's happening or read ahead for a page or a paragraph to look for more information sometimes when we get questions in our head and think I don't really understand that if you reread ahead a little bit it will give you information that will help you understand your questions please reuse those strategies today as you're reading your non-fiction book I'd also like to share with you today some ways you can find some nonfiction titles online Seattle Public Schools has a great website at the top and your search bar type in Seattle schools org then you'll see at the very top in the black bar if you press the little down arrow you can access online academic resources click there it takes a little while for it to come and then once you get to the online academic resources page you'll see a variety of things that you can look at to find nonfiction texts at your level two resources that I really love especially for primary grades our pebble go and tempo books both of them offer lots of nonfiction topics of any variety of topics that you might be interested in animals plants weather volcanoes you choose there's a variety of topics there that are really interesting to read you could use either of those for your independent reading time today you can use books that you have at your house you can use articles that you find online or magazines that you might have at your house also I want to show you Britannica and Britannica Spanish are great ways to find other nonfiction texts and if you have a seattle public library card you can go to the ebooks or the seattle public library to check out books nonfiction or fiction but in this case we're really trying to use our strategies of wondering and questioning for expository nonfiction i hope you find a good book to read tonight err today and remember that at least twenty to twenty-five minutes of independent reading time using your fix up strategies will help you become a better reader and a better thinker and learner i hope to see you again tomorrow and i've enjoyed being on TV with you have a great afternoon [Music]

Signature Resources' Robert Vallis on the acceleration of an initial NI 43-101 Resource
[Music] today we have a distinct pleasure speaking with robert valas from signature resources how are you today i'm good tracy thank you and you know i know i'm going to get in a lot of trouble for saying this but how is my favorite gold resource company how are you doing we love the news release on february the 9th so why don't we start there certainly uh well appreciate the fact you support and enjoy uh our progress we uh have been working very uh uh diligently as you know and most of our uh shareholders in the street understands over the last year climbing a mountain basically getting the company positioned digging through and positioning all the historical data that that we came into possession of combining that with all the new data that we've collected getting our exploration up and running uh getting the drills up running turning delivering results um strengthening our board to majority independence strengthening our management team raising the funds to do it we've hit all on all of those cylinders throughout 2021 and that's brought us into this year this and and really what precipitated that february nine uh uh press release in in a nutshell all of that uh data has culminated into a new awareness uh that we have something more interesting and and significant than than we had initially thought and really that was precipitated from uh looking at this from a modern perspective in terms of resource and uh of course rate from surface you think open pit not underground and of course that that effort is what precipitated the results uh and the decision you see in february nine okay so for those of you out there that may not have seen this news release signature resources announces acceleration of an initial uh 43-101 resource estimate so again you had you you looked you wanted to look at fresh eyes at previous results and do a 43-101 is that correct uh in part yes i mean we did look at it through fresh eyes but we needed the data to do it so finally having all of that data culminated in january of this year we were able to really see and understand the extent and depth of what we have and that compelled us in many ways to accelerate the development of the initial 43 101 resource estimate from later in this year the end of this year to to now essentially yeah well somebody else obviously enjoyed this news release because you did a private placement this year and it was substantially oversubscribed and that you just announced this in the last month can you tell us a little bit more about your private placement yeah that was really to to um sure up our funds uh as we move through this transitional period cover the cost of developing this 43-101 that you know is a pivotal sorry a pivotal uh paradigm shift for us in terms of a strategy for this year um so that yeah that was quite successful we we had an uh a lot of support from existing shareholders a number of new shareholders come in as well um so we're quite excited about that um but more i think uh importantly it's it's positioned us very well now to get through this transition period to towards the end of q2 where we expect to be getting that initial resource estimate and from that it will uh really provide a lot of guidance and and direction for us for the balance of 2022 in terms of what we're going to be doing and of course there may be some people at investor intel land going okay signature resources of an exciting uh gold exploration play they may not be familiar with lingman lake so can you give us a couple of compelling reasons why lingman lake should be on absolutely everybody's radar yeah certainly it we hold an incredibly uh diverse large and prospective land package over 90 percent of the entire lingman lake greenstone belt that's the geologic environment we expect and hope to find large-scale gold deposition lingman lake is squarely in there uh it's a historical discovery from the 40s that never really made it to to production just from financial reasons back then and ended up going into stasis and frozen in time for almost 50 years that's why you see today us picking up the ball on that um the fact that they had uh underground workings uh started they were well on their way to to moving to production with over 20 000 meters of historical drilling on top of what we've already drilled it's to find a very uh robust high-grade gold system right at surface and what's more interesting is that we know this is a orogenic or mesothermal deposit these run kilometers deep kilometers on strike and we're only down and have it defined 200 meters depth so it's really the tip of an iceberg we're expecting it to to present itself to be a a much more exciting and robust system as we begin to to move forward uh beginning with this resource estimation to really bring ourselves into the modern uh format so i with that i think overall lingman lake represents um an exciting uh early stage but a discovery that's well down the path uh obviously allowing us to get the initial resource out and developed and from that we're expecting a lot of um exciting news to to continue at lingman lake in terms of value generation not only for what's in the ground but for shareholders well robert thank you so much for joining us today but before i let you go for some people out there they may be going okay there's an acceleration happening uh what's the timeline for uh anticipated uh conclusion for your 43-101 as mentioned earlier it's going to be around the end of q2 around the end of may early june is when we anticipate having those results out the door and after that based on market reaction and and uh the um communication of those results and and uh uh we're we're expecting that uh the balance of 2022 will be pretty busy and exciting for us well for those of you interested in more information on signature resources go to this website robert thank you for joining us today thank you tracy you

I put quick video together to help you to understand court positioning when you're playing singles now the reason I've put this video together is because in England where I live there's been a slight easing in the lockdown rules now players are allowed to get back onto the tennis courts but they're only allowed to play singles unless they are with three other people from their household then they can play doubles so our club in particular and I know lots and lots of clubs over England there are going to be loads of tennis players that are so used to playing doubles but aren't very experienced on the singles court so this video should help those players in particular in understanding where they should be moving and recovering to after each shot and not only will it help those players that play lots of doubles but actually if you already play singles it might jog your memory and it might give you a better understanding of why you should be moving into certain positions and it will just give you better idea when you're playing yourself so let's get into it on this first picture you can see a tennis ball and you can see a green circle now the green circle is you where you're standing and the tennis ball is where your opponent will be striking the ball from so in this first picture you can see that your opponent is in the center of the court and so are you now when you are rallying up and down the middle of the court your opponent has a narrow channel that they can hit into they don't really have the opportunity to create too many angles because they're in the middle of the court so you can see with this yellow triangle here so you standing in the middle of the baseline is the best place to be because you can equally cover your forehand side and your backhand side now this changes depending on where you send your shot so if for example you hit if your right handed player and you hit a forehand cross-court into your opponent's right hand corner you will recover slightly off-centre to your right so anytime you hit your forehand cross-court you should move slightly to the right hand side if you are a right-handed player lefties would do the opposite now on this picture you will see an overlay of a tennis court and I've put it at an angle what this shows is a change in perspective from your opponent so previously when your opponent was in the center of the court they were looking straight down the court at you now that you've pulled them out wide they're looking at the court from an angle now because they're looking at the court from an angle they have the opportunity now to hit more angle out wide they have a less of an opportunity to pull you off the court when they go down the line which is why now you're able to move slightly off-center into your forehand side if you look at the yellow triangle now it is slightly bigger than it was before because they have more angles more room to play with but you'll also see with the green arrows that your Center Point has shifted so you are needing to move slightly off-center if you look at this third and final image you'll see I've done it the other way around so if you've sent your shot into your opponent's backhand side or left these forehand side you would have to move slightly to the left of your center point or your baseline so that you can cover equally or forehand in your back end because your opponent's perspective of the court has changed slightly I hope that will make sense if you've got any questions pop a comment below and I'll get back to you when you get out there the most important thing is keep moving your feet always recover to a good position if in doubt get back to the middle but you'll start to feel when you do move your opponent's from side to side if you're recovering slightly off-center to the opposite side of the court to where your opponent is you'll start to find that you're covering the court a lot more effectively and efficiently and you'll actually save a lot of energy so bear that in mind give it a go and let me know how you get on good luck

GRIP-LAUNCH ALL IN ONE POLISH WITH SEALANT
alright I'm about to shoot the video for the brand new grip launch all-in-one and I wanted to show you guys the paint on this two year old Jaguar f-type notice it's all swirled up so now I'm going to pull it inside let it cool down and I'll give you guys some pointers on using the brand new grip launch all-in-one polish with sealant hey guys Gary Dean detail juice comm I'm gonna show you today a little bit about my brand new grip launch all-in-one polish with sealant and the biggest benefit to this is you can cut out swirl marks enhance the gloss and clarity leave amazing shine and some awesome protection so those are the three main benefits of having one product that does well all the corrective stuff that most people want and need in one product so this is the all-in-one this is the Harbor Freight dual action polisher which most of you guys know that is what I recommend for polishing especially especially for the majority of the stuff that I and most Detailers will encounter as far as you know it's just it does a lot of work its inexpensive you can replace it same day at Harbor Freight no problem if there was an issue or whatever and they just it's a workhorse it just works and works and works now you know sometimes I have to step it up to a rotary but for the most I would say 98% of any time I'm going to polish I can compound very well with this machine it polishes awesome and that's really all you can expect for any machine you can get machines with larger throws you can get machines with forced rotation but this dual action machine is a very very good machine that does amazing work in very little time so this is the orange closed-cell buff and shine polishing pad and most you guys know I prefer buff and shine over the other brands because well they last longer it just seems like a better product to me and like you know again I just mentioned it just last longer and that's what I prefer so always shake I does have some polymers in it and you want to make sure you shake it up before you use it on a brand new pad such as this I generally will put on force roughly pea-sized dots to prime in order to spread it out evenly I will generally and you'll notice I've taped off this section so I can polish this and then show you what it looks like after by this point I will have already edited in the little video clip of what it looked like out in the Sun but I usually will just lay the face of the pat down on the surface and spread it around the face of the pad I mean that way the whole face of the pad is now primed now if you feel like you need to add more you can add a daughter too now if you want I've got plenty on the surface and you don't want to over apply and you don't want to overwork this product so what I'm going to show you is you want to use one section pass generally a two by two foot area which is what you see here and you want to do overlapping passes I usually do about 25 to 30% overlapping and a section pass to me is one up and down one side to side and one more up and down so three passes for a section pass at 30% overlapping with your pad so we're going to go ahead and get started I run on speed five to six for everything except for if I'm applying the sealant which I'll show you that in another video the brand new grip launch paint sealant or even if you're looking at my other lines vitality shield heavy duty car show dream cream those products can also be applied with a machine to get more out of the product as far as the acrylic that's in those not the polymer based sealant that is in the grip launch line but you always want to apply them as thin as possible so that they can cure properly and they work really well thinner is better so here we go [Music] now I didn't I didn't give it a whole lot of pressure I used probably 15 to 20 pounds of pressure if I had to gauge it as far as down downforce and you'll notice this stuff wipes away effortlessly it works amazing I'm very very happy with this product some scuff marks from something still left or pretty nasty but notice the product just wiped away amazingly I'm gonna grab my cellphone the gloss is tremendous the haze versus the gloss is just awesome grab my cellphone and turn on the LED light and inspect my work yeah I got a lot of work done and amazing clarity now pull you off the tripod so you can see so trusty flashlight on you can see how swirled up it is I showed you out you know the Sun in it but now notice how amazing it is and how much clearer the water spots no crazy swirl marks deeper blacker nicer with far fewer defects I mean that is what makes most people happy is a good quality all-in-one and that is exactly what we have here and it just works amazing I'm very happy with this product so that is the brand new grip launch recon rescue all-in-one polish with you it from detail juice calm this stuff is amazing just like I just showed you you can see a huge difference in the haziness here and the gloss here also if you look where the lights are you can see a huge difference in clarity and I'm not going to say a lot about the the defect removal it does a great great job these Jaguars typically have soft paint I'm kind of leading towards that I feel like if I were to gave it more pressure I definitely could have gotten more scratches out it still looks amazing but if you'll notice if you're you know one that does paint correction then you'll understand with soft paint it's very hard to finish out a black car with no smudges with damn near perfect clarity which is what we have here so that's a testament to how well this polish finishes and I'll tell you what the slickness is pretty amazing compared to how rough this feels I mean it is slick as snot its protected now realistically here in Tampa I'm getting about three months worth of durability out of this product which is also pretty good it's not amazing but it does a really good job and like I said for for the people who are going to be using this which is the general consumer and you know the more high volume production based detail shops which is the market for this line they're going to be hard-pressed to find something that works better than this in cut clarity and finish and protective ability I mean this is absolutely a winner and I would say that because my name is on the bottle however I'm not into BS and it says that on every single bottle right here no BS to get you to focus no BS just quality professional detailing products for the enthusiasts and pro Detailers alike and that's where I'm at no BS cuz I ain't got time for none of that and I know you don't so this product is a winner check it out detail juice com all-in-one polish with sealant under the grip launch line thank you so much for watching

REINFORCED CONCRETE SLAB!!... L SHAPE EXTENSION PT3
well considering that was our first ever attempt at doing this i don't think we've done too bad and look at that oh that is very satisfying to see [Music] so a bit of an update it is i should have thought this ahead of time all right i'll take two morning it's a it's cold on this morning it's day is it wednesday wednesday there's something of april i know really i've got a bit of uh fiddling around to see before the concrete comes due between ten and one um i was just putting the plugs back in i'm trying to i don't know which one goes well all right yeah all the um the shutters have been cut down now so we can get all that little plugs back in and get all the stealing ready and then it's just a few other little jobs we can catch up i'm all waiting it's our first piece they're all cut redstone we just need to drop them in just hope all these little um spaces hold when the wet wheelbarrows are going over the top of them that's the bit i'm worried about and keeping it level we're going to use the laser level on this because we can't tamp across we can tamper across from probably halfway across well we could've done if we had a temple oh last one put up a fight but there we go they're all back in and i've managed to get this queen quite nice and tight up again so obviously it does already give you the run down and you got the gist of what we need to do that all over and did you say we're cutting down them sills [Music] there you go go get the gold bosch out and cut that off just so we've got the shadows all right so yeah may as well just get rid of them makes it easier for us to get this concrete and attempt properly then so there we go we'll uh i think we'll get that done first and then we'll get all this uh steel set up we've got we've got until 10 before they come so we'll just get it done it's gonna wait a bit we've got the weight of it it's better to wait instead of even being on top of this yeah we've gone in we're gonna bring all the stuff in these dresses get we'll get this done [Applause] so [Music] [Applause] so [Music] [Laughter] this way [Music] so there you have it that's one done so just one more to do and then onto them steels [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] so [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] well considering that was our first ever attempt at doing this i don't think we've done too bad do you nope your hats on skew off again yeah it was a bit a bit of a grueling task where it's done we've got obviously it's all been cut accordingly all the feet castles are in and uh we've also we've tied it in with the wire as well so all that ain't going anywhere so we're ready we're ready for the steel people steal people we're ready for the concrete people so well we're just gonna uh get ourselves prepped up for it get the get the stuff ready laser levels set up just gonna get some ramps set up here now so they can dump it in easier without flattening the castles and get our wellies on [Applause] right we're as ready as we can be aren't we yeah doors are covered for splashes cut to the clip of yeah the reason why the reason why we've got that is because of this it's produced yeah we've got some boards down for to take the waste of the wheelbarrows i'm going to try and get this tip either side and then we'll bring the board out and that side we can always have them tipping in from that side and around the edge as well um i think it's about 2.6 so it's going to be quite a quite a lot of bars going in there we just need them to not fill the wheelbarrows that's the thing with the steel sorry have you got a concrete uh pump but that's just not in the budget of concrete pump that's it yeah chance it uh first nine it's at all oh yeah might as well have a quick break while i've got my drink that's good they'll have a quick break now then we'll get get stuff started so then when they come we're ready then there you go sauces let's go all right so quick update it is quarter past eleven still not down to the concrete yet but they said from ten to three so from ten till three three and so we've just been trying to make ourselves busy we've uh done a bit of tidying up usually when patience is required tidying up comes in so we've what we dad has uh made a nice clearing out of this garage now so it's a bit more organized and i'll take you over here oh he's also polished out the van a little bit and uh it's always nice to have a tidy van soul cleansing you know it's always cleansing to uh have a good tidy up every now and then just getting right just get stuff organized so that's what we've been doing while i've been waiting so still gonna wait obviously it's not really much else we can do and just gonna try and do whatever else we can go and that's getting some water ready for cleaning up and i think uh may as well get ready for the intermediate profile because we're gonna need that so we might as well get that set up um yeah i'm just let's keep trying to do oh so another update it is five to one supposed to be here the deadline is five minutes so still about two minutes after i just made that video hardly it's going now [Music] i was saying that i can pause it [Music] it's arrived so just in time as well go there yeah so now we're gonna see how this gets on yeah yeah i'll get it set up now so we can uh so you can watch us put this in like this for the first time so [Music] yep oh [Music] um [Music] so [Music] hey [Music] here's what we're doing now [Music] so oh foundation [Music] so okay [Music] [Applause] [Music] and there you have it it's always nice when the air once the slab goes in so just like you have to pay for it oh yeah that's your concrete now hello kitty coming nice and steady so a big thank you jolly concrete yeah so now the tiring bit we're going to get that hold down quickly get it all timed yeah so we'll uh we'll just stick you on time-lapse that because you know the song and dance so we'll get you up in a nice angle and get you set up and then after that nice and high yeah so and then after that uh right so we'll see in a sec it's fetching cinderella's slippers [Music] there you go falling concrete unfortunately they've got to back out just big wagons can't turn around so they've got to drive up to where those white houses are and back back out there but yeah just said to alex that was quick that's three cube and they were what half an hour yeah did finish pouring ten minutes ago didn't they they've cleaned up we've got a little bit to do but they've cleaned up behind themselves and they've gone they weren't just going to go and pay now but that was in half an hour really good that really helpful and it helps add the boards over the steel oh so get this paid for now and then i'm off into the start get this level through get it as flat as i can so see you in a bit [Music] so [Music] there you go actually another battlefield and the young lad said i'm fired it looks about right that very bloody right to the nearest stone it's absolutely brilliant so get this child up now can i use the bucket towel [Music] six foot level comes in it's nice and light [Music] beautiful [Music] so [Applause] [Music] so [Music] there you go a little bit sticker over here with the float that is a massive massive relief i knew it was going to be difficult not being able to tamp it from water wall used to do them all the time when we did conservatories but you were rushing it was never right but um took our time on that when it went in it went into a laser level glass took a time for us down to the to the last grain of sand perfect spot on but um yeah it's kind of a separate floor to the house because it's gonna it's gonna have bifolds in there and there so it's still gonna have a threshold between the two floors so it didn't have to run through perfect which is a big relief i think the best thing to do when it's like this if you do that is keep it slightly low so it can be leveled don't want it high um yeah so it's just a matter of going around the edge having a clean up and then taking this trench block back and they're swapping them for some bricks because there's a few few brick shocks i've used too many below ground oh yeah clean up the brickwork team so i'll do a little outro at the end when we get to it's all done see in a bit and look at that oh that is very satisfying to see it's taken ages if you'd like to get that in and then it's always all your hard work's buried then it doesn't look like all that all those days work has gone into that but we're finished let's give you another look so dad's been busy away tamping in there floating it and it looks pretty lovely so big thanks again to trolley concrete for getting us the concrete and thank you to dad he's uh just giving one final little wash over but uh yeah so that is the slab ready so tomorrow it's just get here get a mix on and get some breaks down so thank you very much for watching hope you enjoyed the video be sure to like and comment and if you're new to the channel feel free to subscribe and hit that bell it's always a massive help and we greatly appreciate it this has been brooklyn with stephen alex and we'll see you in the next video [Music] you

Australia Vs Ireland ODi Highlights Cricket Highlights HD
good morning and welcome to benoni for this international Australia up against Ireland and the momentum one day international the only one between these two in the South African summer what a gorgeous day it is here in this part of the world and Australia in the field with William Porter Field winning the toss and deciding to bat first on a pitch that looks pretty good same one as they used on Sunday a little bit of water overnight on it just to keep it from cracking but it does look pretty good for betting oh that's a massive hit that is a sweet stroke from sterling that's gone high over extra cover onto the bank rare authority from Ireland a wonderful blow short pulled six super shocked well what sterling can do so comport a field that has gone way back island starting to cut loose that was a superb shot once again dragged down the length short this time and one bounce over the rope nearly very nearly for Worrell I thought it'd go short and he's got the plan and the man sit out there in the air and taken struck firmly but straight to cover point Sterling's gone well what a pity for Ireland thankful sterling as well he was playing so well it's some terrific strokes in his innings short just clubbed away for four 50 after eyelid just tucked away and he's plated well Anderson it wasn't particularly short but he's able to just jab it away for four wide of mid-on oh that's gonna be out that's gonna be out his confirmation it was said just did him he didn't pick it at all out the hand and he was back and it was too quick and threw him big appeal for LBW gone Scott Bolin strikes tiniest leave for Australia batsman having a bit of a think in line but has it bounced no I'm PI school so bongani jelly is it's just trimming the top of the stumps that's all he had to judge and he's done it successfully as umpire bongani Cheerilee it so the review this time for Ireland fails gotta Amy's got him another one gone Australia now I've turned this game they're right on top and that is the first for Daniel Worrell his first ODI wicked he gets rid of Wilson the merest of touches it's a regulation cats from Matthew Wade and Island are now four down bigger tll BW hits systems could he be run out as well Wow whilst looking at the umpire for the response for the LBW has Terry been a little bit sluggish and not been grounded behind the line it deflected to slip who's shied immediately hit direct what drama and what trouble for Island Boehm straight through I was looking to try and get on that back foot pointer goes for 11 it's 146 for 6 there's the googly he's got through good delivery just a third delivery of the spell he turns to the googly it's effective crashes into the top of woodland off stump he goes for 8 158 for 7 Oh does airborne for a brief moment Steve Smith made a valiant effort to try and get his hand alongside therefore but couldn't do so and it makes it way to the boundary of welcome bound you for Ireland yes he's given him I wondered if it had crashed into the top of the stumps but it's been adjudged as LBW so Kevin O'Brien will have to be on his way and once again Zephyr answers the call picks up his third wicked of the day edge this time the slip just came out Steve Smith holds his head and absolute disgust he changed the field got the man at the short cover catching and as soon as he did that the outside edge is found and all weight to the boundary up in the air it goes someone's getting underneath it's not easy because it's gone so high but it has taken comfortably Hastings gets his man the end of McCarthy and Ireland lose their 9th and he's gone straight away chase never actually gets to face of all it's just chipped away two backward point Hastings finishes it off with a brace and Ireland don't get to 200 and they're all out for 198 [Music] and the gap and for good cut shot was just a matter of fact whether it would be cut off by the fielders the contact was good it's up in the air should be taken at all here oh no it's put it down another bit of disappointment fielding hasn't been up to the usual standards on this tour of South Africa asked over the top and does it well enough is it going to go the whole way yes it is first six of the day for Australia oh wow four they they call it a flatbed bump and that brings up the 55 between these you know he's got all of that there's another terrific strike that's way back Davey Ward had his best six number two that's going to be at the breakthrough comes that one stops in the crease two minutes has got a good change of pace Davy Warner just played too early but he made a good contribution well he's got all of that one it was like slightly over pitched by Kevin O'Brien and great timing short cut pick out the sweeper no sweepers gotta make ground I won't make ground that was good placement from Steve Smith also so good how he just waited for the ball to come to him cut away ground to be made by the sweeper trying to prevent the khawaja 50 I don't think he has it's gone for four and that brings up another half century for khawaja a free hit and banged away banged away all the way six runs that's four full outside of stamped Steve Smith won't miss out babe nicely placed in the gap and they scamper across 100 partnership with in Kauai Jen Smith [Applause] full toss just smashed back over his head six runs onto a half century a 14th Korea 50s got 500 in one day internationals and they'll scatter across to finish things off Australia by 9 wickets over Island [Applause] [Music] very comfortable Australia were expected to win this one easily and I did the padding was convincing

[Music] now it's time to say hello once again to the king of TRS the Duke of Direction the prince of projection and the chancellor of change coming to us live from the heart of the most historically beautiful hallowed and Timeless that patriotic Jewel of small town America historic King Kingston New York where the ghosts of our founding fathers are said to watch over him and to keep him company here he is Gerald sente oh thank you that's very sweet thank you so much you're welcome how are you ah you know how am I uh let me count the waves all right time's up yeah very concerned what's going on you know you have um soop PS Psychopaths leading us again to war the same people people the same people who have led us to all of these other destructive Wars are at it again they're not they're not Wars my friend and I know you agree with me these are nothing less than International geopolitical corporate genocides of innocent people yes yes and uh and sick people are doing it Psychopaths and sociopaths what is it going to take you know I I've been thinking in in in you know putting in my mind so you as you well know I mean we talked when the new Trends Journal came out uh a month ago February February 4th I believe it was and the cover was Ukraine and it and we warned of a Civil War and we wrote that article a month before you know it takes time you know to put things together for a quarterly and you could see this thing unfolding and where it was going and and I'm thinking to myself why is it that how can it be that so few Rule and ruin the lives of so many and why is it that so many allow so few to rule and ruin their lives and it keeps haunting me and haunting me and haunting me because anybody with an ounce of brain an ounce of dignity an ounce of self-respect an ounce of Integrity a a a just a smidgen of courage smid could see the lunatics that are in charge yep you know people could say yeah there's an Illuminati you know I spoke to Dr Paul Craig Roberts as you well know who he is the former assistant treasury secretary run his material all the time yeah under Reagan you know this guy know he's been there he used to be able to bring up the uh the head of the CIA and question him on the oath so um um two nights ago we we're talking for about two hours mhm and I asked him I said Craig is Paul Craig Roberts goes by Craig I said Craig I said is there people behind the scenes I said you know I see these photos like Obama and his you know team of National Security advisors chief of staff and this and that one that I said are they really the ones or is there someone behind the scenes pulling the string oh and he said no he said these are the dopes that are doing it and and he was there he said you know he remembers the day when they were on honorable men and women in Congress where you know you really would talk he goes way back yeah he goes way back you know there was a group of very honorable people there that wouldn't take a penny from anybody take anybody's baloney and wouldn't bow to anything yeah they were professional that was dishonorable they were career Servants of the country Servants of the country not Servants of their bank account Servants of Wall Street and all the other Maniacs out there you're right you're right now this is interesting that he would say that because that that does essentially and I know I know both of you well enough through his writing and you personally as a friend to to know that Henry Kissinger Zig binski George Soros the uh the Rothchild banking cartel in the city of London wield enormous power over the globe now as far as as micromanaging things in DC I see his point when look at the macro you got to take in the big of course there's no question about that but again it goes back to you have you have gutless little people with no Integrity that bow down suck up and bend over punks they're punks Gerald exactly Obama's a punk Barry satoro is a punk he's a potm smoking crackhead bisexual Punk who thinks he's cuter than a bug as as I keep saying these are the same people you couldn't stand in high school and college that wanted to be class president and head of the student council the suck-ups the brown nosers the uh overly ambitious and the insincere that's right they just followed their career path but now it goes back to my question and your qu you said how am I doing and my answer was you know how could I be doing well when I'm concerned about what's going on and as you well know you go back to the spring 2011 trend Journal cover story M the first Great War of the 21st century you have the same imbeciles but of a different ilk that led us into World War I that destroyed Europe at a time when it was going into such grandness it was that are doing it again they're they were directly responsible for the deaths of well over 100 million people in the last century and this time it's going to be as Dr Paul Craig Roberts is writing it's going to be hundreds and hundreds of millions this is going to be a nuclear war could be you you think they're going to roll out tanks on the on the planes I mean you know not going to be another battle of K no and and and and you know as I keep saying you know if Napoleon couldn't be Russian if Hitler could beat the Russians you think Obama is they you know the only people that can beat the Russians are the Western Zionist bankster Wall Street nobody's going to beat the Russians no let me finish the the Western Zionist bankster Wall Street controlled media they beat up the Russians every day they'll beat them up but they won't beat them I'll tell you no they won't beat them I meant beat them up they they punch they don't beat them up these they they they they don't go they don't they don't die I mean they'll die they'll go to the last person standing exactly I I'll tell you a quick story you know I practice close combat martial arts many years had my own school and I trained under John Perkins not the John Perkins who wrode the Hitman not him from attack proof.com attack proof.com so this is going back you know early 90s and we're down in yanas and I classes used to be this you about 20 guys in there a new guy would come in you know 25 years of kung fu whatever it was and Perkins would introduce him to a guy like me you know all of what 5'8 and he say hi this is Gerald sente he' say the guy do anything you want to do with him and that was your class you better learn you know you learned enough now you got to do what you got to do so anyway one day this big Russian guy comes in and Perkins doesn't put him with anybody he works out because he knows this guy's a killer and they're working out you all of like you know 15 seconds of FO B this guy's down on the ground and Perkins has his hands around his throat wow and he's Perkins you have to look at when you go to attack proof.com and you look at Perkins face you know and Perkins says and you keep going until the spirit leaves the body as he has this guy's hands around this guy and the Russian gu says what do you mean this thing Spirit oh yeah that says a lot that says all story it says it all no you don't you don't beat the Russians you beat them up in the Press you know you P pansy P different mentality totally no this that's that's what okay you just put your finger on it again that's what these wimps in the west don't get and they never will get they keep calling Putin the thug and a bully no wrong he's a different kind of these are different people they're different people I'm saying what do you mean this Spirit you like you know W you know that's a really remarkable story yeah you know it was something you know that I never forgot you know and uh yeah and that was it you know then they got up and then you know it was then then Perkin says and if that doesn't work you know you whips out a gun you whip out your gun you know but that's what we're up against here and and you also said it when you look at these people these are Harvard Princeton Yale these are little boys that never got in a fight in their lives limp rested panty waste that's all they are all the people have to do is focus on those words no foreign entanglements very simple here let me read this uh hold the music Todd for me it's short this is George Washington this is what he said the Great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign Nations is in extending our commercial relations to have with them as little political connection as possible Europe has a set of primary interests which to us have none or a very remote relation hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns hence therefore it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves by artificial ties in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities end quote stay the hell out is what he said who the who are these people to do this to us to Rob us of everything that we have they sold our jobs out to foreign Nations and now they're selling us out with war one after another and the people just hey you see that video of Justin Bieber at his deposition you know you got it you got it that's it it's all about celebrity it's People magazine and the uh the Sheep I hate to insult sheep are now zombie sheep it's it's actually getting worse year old I mean I we used to talk about the Sheep as you know perhaps a group that could be awakened now that's not to say that all of you listening aren't awake and you know people there are people who are waking up but let's be honest the massive iron Boot and fist upon the hearts minds and Souls of the masses of this country which are controlled by the mainstream media and the entertainment media and spots are are lost at this time in history lost to us no way to get through them you talk to them you hear the door shut when you hear the door shut get the hell out of there and go on to the next one find somebody that is at least willing to listen we need an alternative I mean if we just keep going down this road and again this is what's going on Jeff I'm out this since 1980 and you know as you get out you keep doing it longer you know you get better at it because You' seen a lot more of life you bet and when I look around what's going on in the world now I mean let's just take a quick trip turkey riding in the streets again you know why the people came out because back in June the cop shot a a canister tear gas canister they hit a 15-year-old kid in the head kid was in a coma just died two days ago and the people took to the streets yeah hundreds of thousand here here they could kill you they run over you they could care less your old news oh the cops execute people every week here yeah exactly so anyway they're rioting in Turkey the lead is hitting again an all-time low we're looking what's going on with Russia their stock market this year's down over 20% the ruble is crashing you go take a look what's going on in Yemen oh couple of oh yes yesterday three drone strikes at quote suspected militants the day before four four were killed one drone strike yesterday killed three let me I said it improperly yet the day before a drone strike killed four against international law it's it's against the Geneva conventions against anything moral exactly at least one of those had to be a wedding party uh they we're real good at that and then you go over to Bahrain the fifth lead is over there and and there's a civil war going on there between the Amir I love these names the Amir the dictator and it's mostly a Shia country then you go over across you go to Syria it is a disgrace when what is happening with our money and the other murderous countries pushing money into into destabilizing the Civil War that has killed so many innocent people and have ruined a beautiful country then you go over to Libya great job with that humanitarian Mission man yeah it's total it's in total chaos sure it is and and it's that's destabilizing the entire area era area I have in Tunisia who are border it they they said Muslims these are said radical Muslims these aren't radical Muslims they're Mafia they're murderers they're terrorists they're Killers Y and the Press paints them as radical islamists you know no then you go over throughout Africa Sudan central Africa Congo one country after another destabilized then you see the Pitchfork movements going on in Italy the destabilization in Greece Bulgaria Romania Spain Portugal people haven't left the streets in three months in Thailand you talked about that madman AB continuing to poke at China as their economy continues to go down and the only people that benefited from it like in the United States from the stimulus money with the equity markets and then you go down to Venezuela of course another Revolution being instigated by the United States and others then you go to Argentina

Victoria Law, Anticapitalism Behind Bars workshop (updated)
okay now my next speaker is Victoria law who has written on prisons and women in prisons she had a a short period of prison herself and she's a mother and the campaigner Victoria all right thanks for coming everyone before I start you may have noticed this flyer on your chair Le Forum doesn't have child care this is the fourth year running that it's refused to provide child care even though parents and caregivers have requested it so if you could take 2 minutes of your weekend or week and just call and say like hey could you have child care next year and have inclusiveness for parents and caregivers and maybe some quiet for people that don't like children that would be great um if you don't have a flyer come see me afterwards I can give you away well we'll have something before this Workshop closes we will deal with that as a workshop okay so my experiences with the prison system started when I was in high school so I don't know how many of you have heard of the school to prison pipeline but I went to one of those schools in Jamaica Queens that was largely black brown and immigrant um we had to go through metal detectors when we entered the building we had to put our bag through those airport scanning things you know we had to be patted down there were security guards a lot of people um if you were white or if you were you know if your parents had more resources they figured a way to lie to get you out of that school they would lie about where they lived so basically it was families with the least amount of resources and wherewithal and knowledge whose kids ended up going there and a lot of times it was just a warehouse for people to just sit there for 8 hours a day and these were perfect recruiting rounds for gangs so gang me gang recruiters from Chinatown came around and they started asking people like hey would you like to make a couple of hundred doar in a night or would you like to sit here all day and do nothing and maybe flip Burgers you know for the rest of your life and think about when you were a teenager when you're 14 15 16 couple of100 versus sitting in a classroom being bored out of your skull you know most teenagers are like I can make some easy money that's great so a lot of my friends dropped out of high school joined gangs and one by one got arrested for Gang Related activities and got incarcerated I also joined a gang but as a girlfriend so I actually you know came in through the very gendered way of recruiting and um also ended up in jail on a an armed robbery felony charge when I was 16 so this is you know sort of like what happens when you don't have resources for your children um so this catapulted my awareness of prison issues because I was in jail very briefly got out and I continued to support my friends who were inside and I would go to see them in Riker's Island and when you go to visit somebody in jail and you sit in the waiting room for visiting you're sitting there for hours on end and often times you're sitting there with the exact same people every week and it's all black brown poor immigrant nobody there is you know Bernie maid off's wife nobody there is you know um Jeffrey dummer's spouse or whatever you know it's like all people who have are in for either drugs or property crimes so it's all people from the lowest economic strata and that made me think like hm you know why is it that like you know we're not seeing all these like you know Mass murderers and rapists and like you know like people who you know buil you know citizens out of like thousands of dollars and it didn't really coales from me until I started being um coming into the city and started reading prison literature because that was what I got got attracted to and I said well let me try to make sense of this experience and so I started reading about prisons I started reading about like the prison industrial complex I started reading about mass incarceration and all of these theories jbed with what my reality was sitting in those visiting rooms in Riker's Island and going Upstate and so I started working around prison issues I set up a I helped set up a book through bars program in 1996 to send free books to people in you know I started working with people who were incarcerated around you know the organizing issue you know up in Upstate New York and in Trenton New Jersey and then I went to college which most of my friends were not able to do having gone to prison um and when I was in college I decided to do a paper on Prison organizing and so I spent a semester researching what prison organizing looked like after the 1970s after the FBI and Co inel Pro had decimated many of The Liberation movements and what what did prison organizing look like when it was divorced from 1970s radical organizing and at the end of that semester I looked at everything I had am masked and saw that it was all men and I said well what are women doing to organize so I started asking people who had been active in prisoner rights and anti- prison work for decades what do women do and for the most part they were like women don't resist women don't organize and at the time there were about 100,000 women in prison now there's almost 115,000 women in prison so I found it really hard to believe that almost 100,000 women just sat on their hands and endured prison conditions so I started from scratch and I said well let me throw out everything I can think about about prison organizing and prison resistance and let me look at what the issues are that affect women in prison and then see how they're organizing and resisting so what I found is that women face many of the same issues that men do you know bad food bad Health Care racism guard brutality um but then they also face very gender specific issues you know that aren't necessarily seen as prison issues so women in prison face really atrocious Health Care while they're in prison and medical care but they also face the lack of female specific um healthare in prison so often times prisons don't have you know screenings for breast cancer or treatment for breast cancer or cervical cancer most prisons still don't have the resources to deal with women who are pregnant they don't have OBGYN services so the organizing around that doesn't necessarily get picked up as resistance among people who are looking at what do people on the inside do more than half of all women in prison are mothers to children under the age of 18 and when you look at the way our society is gendered often times when a father goes to prison there's a female relative willing to step up and take care of his children while he's inside when a mother goes to prison often times she's a single head of household or her partner is arrested alongside of her or her partner might say you know what I can't take care of these children you know that's not my job because of the way we see parenting so children of incarcerated mothers are five times more likely to end up in the foster care system than children of incarcerated fathers and that becomes particularly devastating for communities and for children because in 1997 Congress passed the federal adoption and safe families act which mandates that if a child has been in foster care for 15 of the past 22 months the state has to start termination of all parental rights and only two states at the time made any exception for whether the parents was in um whether the child was in foster care because the parent was in prison um New York state became the third state and only in 2010 did that pass because uh formerly incarcerated parents and their Advocates actually rallied and advocated and lobbied for this um for this exception for decade uh for years and years and years for like more than a decade um women in prison are often Shackled when they are transported as our men they're also Shackled when they are pregnant and in labor so when they are brought to the hospital in labor going to deliver a baby they are often Shackled which means they have handcuffs on their hands a chain that goes around their belly and another chain that goes around their feet while the woman is in labor and they are brought to the hospital and it is not up to the medical staff on duty to say when those shackles come off it is up to the guard that attends them and if that guard doesn't feel like taking the shackles off at the time or the guard is out for a soda or whatever the woman's life and the fetus's life is in Jeopardy and only 14 states have legislation either Banning or limiting the use of restraints um again because incarcerated and formerly incarcerated women and their allies have fought for these laws Florida may become the 15th State the legislature just passed it after much you know pushing from people who are allies to women in prison but it's sitting on right now and who knows if it will be signed but that leaves 35 to 36 states that still have this practice um all right and um women are also disproportionately abused and battered prior to incarceration and women have organized around this specifically around battered women's movement and clemency for battered women so two quick cases in Ohio in the late 1980s women formed a support group called looking inward for excellence which was supposed to just be a support group for women having long sentences and when they got together they realized that most of them had long sentences because they killed their abusers in the late 19 s people weren't talking about abuse and domestic violence so it wasn't something they came up in court it wasn't something they felt that they could then push other you know other you know the courts on and then they so they got together they talked about their experiences and then they said you know what we don't deserve to be in prison for killing our abusers we don't deserve to be abused so they started the first successful Mass clemency campaign for women incarcerated for killing their abusers and not only did they you know organized amongst themselves to demand clemency from the governor but they also went to all the different cells all the different units all the different cafeterias and places where women gathered and they would talk to other women and say hey what are you in here for oh you killed your husband or your boyfriend you know and they would start working with them through the guilt and denial about domestic violence and abuse um like letting them know that it actually wasn't their fault that you know like that they had been abused no matter what had been told to them they started working with them on drafting their own clemency petitions it led to 25 additional women realizing that they they should get clemency this is so this is 25 additional women that realized that it wasn't their fault that they had been amused that they should not be locked up for having finally defended themselves and in the end the governor pardoned a bunch of the women um and it was the first mass clemency campaign and this led to other battered women's groups in prison organizing St good job and I think that we have to demand of those of us who uh are at universities that they have to hear the prisoner and the ex prisoner and the Victoria and the the relatives of those inside it's about time that women's studies began to study women at the bottom you want if you you should say something in addition because she's really interested so a couple quick things because I know we've got like a lot of people speakers I don't want to take up so much space um is that uh women you know have been losing their children and so a lot of prisons have um like no Provisions whatsoever for pregnant women you know they shackle them 14 States maybe 15 if this Governor ever gets around to signing this legislation have legislation limiting shackling and it's not a top down thing I want to make that clear it's because the women most affected have been organizing around this it's because their allies have been organizing around this but why is this even something that they should organize around so in Massachusetts and in Georgia right now there's legislation you know introduced and legislators don't want to look at this you know the general public doesn't believe that there is such a thing as shackling of women in labor because they call the prison up and the prison Warden says oh no we don't have that you don't need to pass that law again it's the women themselves that are organizing this they share their stories and when you think about women in prison you have to remember that women who ends up in prison are often at the bottom of the economic educational race etc etc etc ladder so they're the poorest they're often times you know like the the PE the women of color they're the ones without resources they don't have money for lawyers or you know and they don't have the white skin privilege or right to say like don't prosecute me you know um there have been studies that show that white people and white pregnant women are more likely to be diverted into drug treatment than women of color there's an increasing criminalization of pregnant women of color for using drugs now you know you could argue that like pregnant women shouldn't use illegal drugs but then if you criminalize them and automatically sentence them to incarceration who's going to go get help like am I going to help myself as a drug user while pregnant and possibly face prison time and having my child taken away or am I going to continue using under the table and hope to hell that my OBGYN doesn't find out you know like these are questions that should be asked um there are prison Nursery programs in several prisons in the country but one question I want to like leave you with to shift it is why aren't we thinking about ways to decarcerate women you know instead of saying like let's build nurseries let's have like better pediatricians or OBGYN WS why aren't we looking at decarcerate and I'm going to go south of the for a minute to tell you that in Argentina they have as in many Latin American countries they allow mothers with children under the age of five to raise their children in the prison with them now you know this kind of goes both ways because the prisons are still atrocious you know the food still sucks there are cockroaches there are rats you know like the children don't have happy or healthy childhoods like they they come out and they can't deal with Open Spaces or men or you know like things that they haven't been exposed to for the first 5 years of their lives but the alternative is them not being with their mothers so women incarcerated in Argentina started rioting first over conditions we have children in this prison why don't we have a pediatrician on call 24/7 our children don't just get sick between 300 and 6 in the afternoon on Tuesdays you know we need a pediatrician here at all times so they rioted they took over visiting rooms they held guards hostage they set things on fire and the prison relented and gave them a pediatrician you know then they wanted better food they were like you can feed us grub you you know like but growing small children need more than just you know grub that fills their bellies and has no nutritional value so they ried over that and they continue to demand better conditions and that coupled with people on the outside also saying like why do we have these children in prison but they should also be with their mothers led to Argentina finally acknowledging the importance of the mother child Bond and starting to allow women who are pregnant or have small children to serve their sentences under house arrest which again is not like quite the answer but it's a step closer to getting women out of the prison system getting people out of that prison system and not just saying like let's pour more resources into prison so that's something that like some groups in the United States led by formerly incarcerated women and formerly incarcerated mothers are also talking about now is not we want better services for mothers in the prison but let's look at getting mothers and other people out of the prison right good job and you know one reason that that happened in Argentina is because you have a tremendous women's movement in ARA the mothers of the disappeared and the grandmothers of the Disappeared are the ones who spearheaded the end of the dictatorship remember that against the Israelis who were funding that sun gun um when you said like um we need like information that will help our movements yes if anybody wants to take on a research project that has like academic resources which I don't um there's a correlation apparently between women who have been pushed off of welfare from the welfare reform of 1996 and the dramatic increase of women going into prison however there have been no actual that I found you know maybe like my my I don't have all the academic resources that people in universities do there don't seem to be any studies that specifically look at the women who have been pushed off of resour off of welfare and the rise in women's incarceration so that's something that like our movement needs because then we can actually say like this is what happens when you cut our safety nets this is what we need like this is the kind of information that we need that would be helpful in talking about mass incarceration and how that's it the public policies that we have that seem so distant from prison polic uh prison practices and prison policies you know actually do intersect and impact each other yes we had a survey some years ago that showed with every cuton welfare there was an incre an increase of women in prostitution with every single cut we need to have that information updated and Broad that's the kind of research we need you maybe some people in women's studies will help Victoria law to do that research that's what we'd like to see absolutely so um I work with the eie mother as a working mother Network and um and I really wanted to follow off on what Victoria said here because that's been a big concern of ours we formed our group in uh to oppose the welfare reform that took away women's entitlement to welfare and uh and and and instead it forc women into work work fair and forced uh and it got rid of our uh right to get a college education and so on and so forth and it did increase also the number of children who are removed from their families uh what they called abuse and neglect but it was poverty and so we formed also a group called DHS give us give us back our children to really fight with women um to fight individual cases but also to fight for policy changes so that women wouldn't be losing their children in the first place um but um I wanted to say that we one positive note is that there is actually a Bill in Congress now called the the rise act that was introduced by um Gwen Moore who's a former welfare mother from Wisconsin yeah you know and um she and she's introduced the an act that would change the goal of the current welfare reform which is case load reduction where they aim to throw you off um at any cost um to child poverty reduction and so they would increase benefits um it would um it would uh would end the life the full family sanctions and some of the punitive measures um it also would um would require states to um to find ways to to resources provide resources and support to help fam stay together when there's a challenge of the child being taken away um it would it would um allow it would end the ban on people with a felony conviction getting Weare um so it would it it it doesn't do everything it doesn't value and give a figure to what we contribute as mothers and caregivers but it certainly opens the it opens the way for that to happen more so and to and it starts to to um change um a system that has ended up as you say with more women women in prison and and um and homeless and uh and with no income at all zero money so um anyway we have a petition that was circulating on this which we hope people will join in because they um some of the the kind advocacy groups that who has the petition oh I've got one right here I was going to take off the filled ones and you the blank ones um yes so you're going to help that around because again to say to underscore what someone's been saying about the nonprofits some of the groups that um that should be publicizing this AR I mean and because they say it's not going to pass well it's not going to pass if nobody knows about it and we're not we don't do anything about it so please sign and let us know if you're interested in being involved in our Grassroots campaign we're building on this right thank you so if you want to find out more about women's resistance and organizing if you want to find out what other groups in this area are doing this work there's a resource section in the back so you can see what groups are working around pregnancy issues what groups are working around Women's medical issues what groups are working around specifically around incarcerated women's issues and formerly incarcerated women's issues in New York and how you can get involved because again it's not just about us knowing this information it's taking it to the next step and acting right on okay thank you Victoria thank you to a wonderful panel we start tomorrow morning and we circulate this petition in every workshop and uh in every meeting that's taking place during this left form get the signatures of people who dares to refuse to sign that's right that's right okay we have a winner here and we will get child care okay and can I say can I say um can we all say that this Workshop um unanimously agrees that the left Forum have child care in every succeeding a second can I have hands please yeah all right unanimous any refusal unanimous it is okay

Air Pods Pro 2 Review: From an Android and iPad user
[Music] thank you [Music] when talking airpods Pro 2 I thought the best place to review them would be by being in a pod myself hi I'm Rafael from Hardware sugar the only PC shop in the Philippines with no BS warranty and I just came from a trip from Singapore in which I spent several nights in a pod hotel and put the airpods Pro 2 through its Paces while being in a dorm room style hotel with no sound proofing whatsoever I want to give a special shout out to Beyond The Box Philippines for making this video possible by sending us this review unit I'll leave a link in the video description to their online store while it was provided by Beyond The Box they had no say in the review process and gave us free reign to be as weird and or as detailed as we can now let's get straight into it I'm gonna be honest when these arrive I already made up my mind that I wasn't going to have a pleasant experience simply because I left behind the Apple ecosystem four years ago and I know that Apple doesn't play well with others nevertheless I know they're still compatible with Android and I'm quite happy with my M1 iPad Pro and so I figured that they deserve a chance to prove me wrong before I invest in something like the Galaxy buds 2 Pro in fact during the review period of the Pro 2 a study was published which revealed that they could be a more cost effective substitute to expensive hearing aids for those who need the latter it is an interesting article which also mentions that those who have impaired hearing might be more comfortable wearing these rather than an actual hearing aid because of the social aspect of showing the world that they are handicapped I'll leave a link to it in the video description as well I'll start this review a little bit different from the reviews given by other Tech reviewers instead I'll first focus on my real life experience and feelings of the airpods Pro 2 and then I'll drive into the Tactical stuff quick background because unlike my brother Anton who detests all things Apple I was a big iPhone fan for many years I lined up for the iPhone 7 plus and the original airpods the moment it released back in 2016. I love the airpods version one and I even used it with my Galaxy Note 9 when I left the Apple ecosystem however I have now completely migrated to the Samsung part of the universe with the Galaxy watch 5 the Galaxy buds Pro and pretty soon the Galaxy fold 4. I was there for bias to conclude that my next earbuds would have to be time sucks right that was until I was just awestruck at what the airpods Pro 2 were capable of doing whether they played me my favorite Lo-Fi or Nothing At All I'm gonna start off this review with the magic they bring to the commuter the office worker and of course the frequent traveler and that is the magic silence an irony since the purpose of earbuds is to play sounds yet I couldn't help but not hear anything the moment I put these on the active noise cancellation on this seems like it jumped five generations ahead of the Galaxy buds pro version 1. as someone who is not an audio file and who doesn't have the buds Pro Tool or even the original airpods Pro one for purpose of comparison I can only tell you how I honestly felt the moment I put these on for the first few times you might forget to turn off noise cancellation and it's really kind of disturbing because I'm really really absorbed into the music when I have them on alright so one thing I can say about the earphones Pro are that they really are quite definite to the extent that I rarely hear anything from the outside I booked spaceballed Lavender in Singapore for two nights thinking it would be the best place to try these out it's a hostel with a shared room of six other people however with the added benefit of entombing oneself to bed within a futuristic pod that's with most hostels there was a lot of snoring at night from other people and people opening up their suitcases at the dead of night me being one of them and so while the bed was comfortable I'm a little bit of a light sleeper and all the noise sort of really gave me a hard time falling asleep however putting the airpods Pro 2 over my sleep mask completely melted any form of distraction entirely and I was out like a light from 11 pm until 9 30 a.m without waking up once the moment I woke up all the action of the busy hostel was done and I just remarked on myself that I couldn't remember getting that good of a night's sleep in Aegis and I'm in a hostel this is despite the fact that I'm used to staying in much more comfortable and private facilities when I travel in addition to the noise cancellation if you are the type of person who like lioness who sleeps with earphones on you might find the shape of the airpods Pro 2 to be very compatible if you enjoy sleeping with a mask on or if you like sleeping on your side with one pod resting on your pillow I found both positions to be quite enjoyable and comfortable this is something I could never fully achieve with my Galaxy pods Pro they have a tendency to fall out of my ear if I sleep with them or even if I'm when I'm running on the plane ride going back to Manila I found it quite unnerving not to be able to hear the buzz of the engine and I actually took it out of my ear twice during the flight just to check if things were all right with the plane I took it around the busy streets of Makati and I found myself so absorbed in my thoughts through the music's deep bass created by the airpods Pro 2 that I not only found it quite fun but also terrifying to walk around outside the noise canceling really comes down a lot of the sound and everything seems very far away you can imagine what might happen if you're so absorbed in your own world that through my absent-mindedly cross into your death oh testing out the waterproof nature of me Apple airpods Pro 2 seems to be working I did most of my work from my desk setup at home and the coolest part of my man cave are the windows which are also the weakest part of it because unlike cement it lets in a lot of city noise from the outside I always hear the banging of construction from the building not too far away and most especially the Roar of buses beeping their horns in fact you can actually hear this in my previous video where you can hear all sorts of dogs shouting but the airpods Pro 2 on it really feels like I'm in one of those claustrophobic glass rooms but with the benefit of obviously not having the confining part when it comes to music quality while I'm not an audio file I have been absolutely mesmerized with a deep bass and crisp beats that the pro 2s provide for sleep I listen to calm sleep stories in addition to the background sounds like river water and the light I can say that as someone who has been using wired earphones daily from 2005 until 2016 and wireless earphones every day from 2016 till today this is and I hate to say this because I'm going to be labeled as an apple Fanboy which if you look at my PC watch and phone I'm evidently not these are the best earphones I've ever had the pleasure of tuning out the world too let's talk controls you can do everything through this crevice located on each pod meaning if you prefer activating things with your left rather than your right no problem there are two ways to control your pod the first is by pressing down at the center of the crevice and the second is by moving your finger up and down the crevice one of the best things which contributes to the seamless experience of coming in and out of my sound cocoon is the ability to switch from noise cancellation to transparency by firmly pressing down and waiting for a second for the switch to happen it's actually quite fun to move back and forth just to compare how noisy the city is compared to the soundproof cocoon you make on the Fly these controls come as default so if you are planning to use this with an Android phone such as what I intend to do when I pick up my fault 4 these will work seamlessly without the need of programming them prior with an Apple device gone are the days of apparently just tapping on it in order to skip and hop back between tracks instead you can choose to firmly double press down on either pod to skip tracks or to Triple press to go back a track I like that there is a sound cue of a playful clicky tap which plays the signal that it is acknowledging your presses however I would have liked the option to make double tapping my left pod go back a track and double tapping my right pod to skip a track that's felt like a more natural experience which they used to allow the original airpods I understand people may like this new method better however all I want is the option to revert to the old if I prefer that more you can of course control your player by single pressing it to stop and to play again the volume control of moving your finger up and down this crevice was originally very difficult for me to accomplish I just couldn't get it to work at first now that I've mastered it I don't know how I got it wrong in the first place nevertheless I wanted to report that less techie people might be dumbfounded at first on how to activated like I said earlier I'm not new to wireless earphones as I've religiously used both the original airpods and most recently the Galaxy buds Pro but these are the first earphones which actually give you the option to Ping individual pods and the case itself there were at least four flights in the past 15 years where I dropped one pod somewhere in my seat and I spent an anxious 10 to 15 minutes trying to find and fish them out this feature should come standard for all premium earphones because really if you lose just one of these it becomes useless for the rest using the Ping function requires you to go to settings show and find my selecting either the pods or the case and then pinging gosh I wish Apple just made a dedicated widget for the home screen for this that would be really handy let's talk design the case charges via lightning which is very disappointing however it also charges magnetically if you have an Apple Watch charger I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to give life again to my six-year-old Apple watch charger and I charge it alongside my Galaxy watch 5 now the case also has a lanyard slot which is a welcome option for those who like rocking and expose and with a cool case my biggest complaint about the design of the case is that the magnets which draw the pods in are either less strong than the original airpods or because of the shape of the pro 2s they are difficult to fish out each time I have actually dropped one of the pods and caused a permanent scar as you can see here simply because it requires a little bit of getting used to on how to fish them out safely and place them back in one of the best parts about using the original airpods was how they just snap back in with very little effort on my part and then snapping the case shot like a good old-fashioned Zippo it's actually better not to use two fingers fishing them out but rather to use one finger to slide each of them out instead thankfully you can still snap the lid shut like this however I noticed that mine is a little bit wobbly when I push one end from the other it feels less premium knowing that the lid isn't fast and tight compare that to my now ancient original airpods in which the case isn't wobbly at all you're also able to pull them out easier too with the original ones if you only own Apple devices you don't need to worry about connectivity as the Pro 2 seem to connect seamlessly with an iPhone and an iPad it is however when you connected to an Android device and back again to an iPad or iPhone that it becomes a nuisance actually in short Samsung's earphones play better with others as I have always had no problem connecting them between my iPad and my Samsung Galaxy and back again with these though you are required to hold down the back button of the case and then select them from your Android device and hope that they connect the first time around I hate holding this this button otherwise you will need to forget them and try again this can be a really tiresome process which takes you out of the fun of the moment I detest this button which needs to be held down the Galaxy buds Pros don't need any button pressing and show up and connect instantly to my iPad something to keep in mind if you intend to dual wheel different operating systems with these now we get to the most painful part of the review which is price these are not cheap and most definitely only recommended to those who have cash to spare at 14 990 pesos these are very pricey within this price range you can either get the Sony wf-1000xm4 or the Galaxy buds Pro 2 for a little less I actually had a chance to briefly use the Galaxy buds Pro 2s at a Samsung store for around 15 minutes and it didn't provide the same wow as the initial 15 minutes I spent with the airpods pro 2. the Pro 2 also lasts an hour longer with noise cancellation on and you don't get the added functionality of a pulse sound for the pause in case you misplace them however if you ask me and you're looking for earphones which completely really separate you from the world and it's time for you to upgrade you should really consider the airpods Pro 2 as an option regardless of what device you're supporting right now I want to give a special shout out again to Beyond The Box Philippines for sending these over for our review again I didn't want to like these airpods because I've happily left most of the Apple ecosystem behind for years now and it's actually quite frustrating to be somewhat back in it so to speak of course this still won't convince me to go back to iPhone but this is usually how Mission creep begins doesn't it in conclusion the awesome noise cancellation the crisp sound quality and enough bonus features which may win enough people over from other platforms makes the airpods Pro 2 an extremely attractive Christmas gift to yourself the noise cancellation is so good in fact that I warn commuters against using it while you're on the road for your own safety it is easy to get lost in the zone because of it if you're an Apple user this is a no-brainer option if you're an Android User I recommend that you most religiously use at least one of other Apple device so you can make use of the find my airpods pinging functionality like me who carries his iPad everywhere alongside my Galaxy the drawbacks of having poor connectivity with others and a minor learning curve with respect to the controls hardly offsets the personal cocoon these airpods are able to create for you in case you're interested in buying them locally I'll leave a link in the video description below but let me know what you think about mixing Apple and Android earphones with different devices have you tried out both the pro 2s or the Galaxy buds 2 Pros let us know in the comment section below what we missed out on so that you can help our viewers when they make their decision this holiday season actually full service PC store in

Micro X Mini CT Scanner To Service Ambulances And Royal Flying Doctor Service For Remote Communities
the royal flying doctor service knows how hard it is to treat a stroke in the bush many strokes require clot busting medication but you can't give that medication until you've had a ct scan and ct scanners don't grow on trees in central australia there's around one ct scanner for half a million square kilometers and so this is a crucial need but this machine could change that it's being developed by adelaide based company microx a normal ct machine is going to cost three quarters of a million dollars we can work at a tenth of the cost of that the normal ones will weigh 700 kilograms this thing here is going to be 30 which is light enough we can put it certainly in an ambulance but but in an rfds airplane today the company got an 8 million grant from the federal government to further develop its technology it's kind of like an incandescent light bulb becoming an led light bulb it's hoped the units will help communities underserved by their health system it can probably support a lot of the country hospitals and we've got about 140 ambulance sites around south australia and those sites have got an ambulance there may not be a medical facility the technology will continue to be developed ahead of patient trials planned for 2023. gabriella merchant abc news adelaide

Antinatalism and Depression LXIX: Doorways
my first brush with Stephen King was a collection of short stories that I read in my mid-teens called nightshift one of my favorite stories from that collection was one called i am the doorway where an astronaut goes out into space and comes back to find later on slowly developing on his hand a bunch of eyes that had been somehow placed there by aliens hmm following is an interesting quote from that when the guy discovers what the eyes can really do the realization crept on me then sank home with a frightening rush my eyes were closed but I was still looking at the bulk what I was seeing was smeary and monstrous the distorted fourth dimensional counterpart part of a book yet unmistakable for all that and I was not the only one watching I snapped my eyes open feeling the constriction of my heart the sense the sensations subsided a little but not entirely I was looking at the book seeing the print and diagrams of my own eyes perfectly normal everyday experience and I was also seeing it from a different lower angle and seeing it with other eyes seeing not a book but an alien thing something of monstrous shape and ominous intent I raised my hand slowly to my face catching an eerie vision in my living room turned into a horror house I screamed there were eyes peering up at me through splits in the flesh of my fingers and even as I washed the flesh even as I watched the flesh was dilating retreating as they pushed their mindless way up to the surface but that was not what made me scream I had looked into my own face and seen a monster now that's science fiction but it deals with something that's very interesting and has particular relevance to anyone who is suffering from mood disorder how much of what we of what we perceive is value judgments that we place on that thing as a question that I can't see how we'll ever be able to solve because I can't perceive someone else's perceptions nor can I more importantly perceive the biases or interpretations that they put on that a Stephen King to my mind at least is the best version that we have of someone being able to see through an alien's mind something that's not even human and is so alien to us that it simply doesn't understand anything about this world but it's seeing everyday things in this world and it paints them it's horrified by them and it actually wants to kill them it's just so malignantly opposed to everything that it sees through the eyes on the astronauts hand and the interesting part is of course the eyes are attached to the astronauts body so the astronaut himself can perceive in tandem with his own perceptions his own biases his own interpretations he can see those of the alien at the same time now how much of what we see and what interpretations we put on that or what what how much of our thoughts are our thinking is based upon projection onto what's actually there is a question that's always fascinated me especially again as they say in the case of depressives or people suffering from a depression because oftentimes your we're back at the insanity thing again your perception seems so clear of the surrounding reality as to be incontrovertible in your eyes and it seems that you're seeing things so clearly and that your way is essentially the way it's so clear that everything is evil and malignant and terrible and depressing and grinding you down and that sort of thing and either that's the way that your reality is going to stay permanently you believe this or it seems this way or you believe that other people are deluded this is the sense that again happy people are stupid the reason why I say that that's insanity is because that certainty is something that we really can't be sure of you don't even have to have an alien intelligence or an alien consciousness in your own body that you can as it were perceived things through to imagine that I'm just looking around my living room now and I wonder how much of what I see what the form the form of the thoughts that go through my mind how much of that is projection that I'm putting on my living room again my cat sitting right there beside me my cat's leaves they're pretty much whole life but what does my living room look like through his eyes not just the differences in his point of view or anything but all the interpretations that he puts on it all the evaluation all the projection that he makes upon it I've another cat that if I use a laser pointer he'll jump all over the place and try and get the point of the laser and it simply doesn't have that effect on me so you know you can see in little ways how other people's values perceptions interpretations are completely different so how much different must an alien person be or how much different must just one healthy human psyche be to another healthy human psyche let alone someone who is in the grips of a malignant moon a mood disorder in this kind of way of thinking sanity itself and insanity are pretty much the same thing I understand where I'm where this ultimately goes but that doesn't particularly bother me because again it just injects my old friend uncertainty and everything if we if we think that we can actually perceive things in an accurate way just the most basic things or in a way that mirrors everyone else's perception of everything then I think that that is one assumption too many especially when we're dealing with human Ottawa distinction I don't know how my wife perceives anything I don't understand even her basic thing like her sexual orientation how can I understand so many other things that are to be understood out there have you ever thought about what it must be like just to live in one of your neighbors houses what that reality of living life in there must be like you look into someone else's apartment if you live in an apartment building when you walk down the hallway and you oftentimes you look into their their apartment or you just see over the corner of your eye and what you're looking into often does look alien doesn't it Iowa's in a job once when I used to I used to deliver wine and whatever you know you'd have to deliver it into people's homes a lot of the time and if I saw someone's house made up in what I call a very sort of traditional waspish kind of way with the severely clean and formal look of it there's a lot of that in Canada actually this looked alien to me it didn't just look different it looked at the moat weird and alien and this is just me and this is just me interpreting someone else's apartment looked how much how much different must their mental window on the universe look than mine how can I even say anything of the value that they place on existence itself let alone things like harm pleasure pain that kind of thing I can observe their actions I can listen to what they say beyond that I don't have a clue what's going on in their mind and I rather suspect that if I was able to somehow the two of us put on some sort of a bunch of electrodes on our brains and I could somehow simultaneously see through my mind and through their minds using their eyes and my eyes at the same time what they would be seeing would probably be just about as alien is what Stephen King's aliens saw I don't think that that should lead us to conclude nothing because or conclude that nothing is computable but what I would say i would say it as a cautionary note to anyone who seems to think that we know enough about mines perceptions interpretations that sort of thing to overlook the projections and sort of standardized human human perception you can't do that I cannot imagine how one could possibly do such a thing how do i see your universe through your mind and your eyes it's not going to happen um and again and one shouldn't allow this to let you freeze up and say okay this is utter and total solecism here no because I understand what a door is I understand what this computer screen is I understand what that lamp that's shining into my faces I understand what that cat is I understand what the sink in there is I can interact with human beings on all kinds of levels I can interact with them very efficient but do I see what they see there's no way I will ever know that thank you

Android programming: Layout tutorial: Widgets
I want to do a little demo on widgets these are little screen elements that you can interact with I want you to get a little bit of a feel for what they look like how to lay them out what your options are in particular with regard to margin border padding these are things that if you have any UI experience you probably know about already or if you just have experience in the world you probably know what padding is but if you're like me and you overthink everything you're like padding but is that padding inside is that padding outside does the margin you know where does that go I always get confused so hopefully this will serve to unconfuse you so I have here a very simple layout that's you know just taken from what Android studio automatically generates and we've got this textview and i'm gonna go over to this design view a little bit just to sort of show you oh you know the how does android studio think about widget layout so you have a textview and you have these constraints and you know you can edit these constraints and you actually see sort of this is the view of what you see is what you get sort of what is your app going to look like and this is a little bit sort of like the blueprint view which sometimes when things are all on top of each other the blueprint view helps you see what's going on so just grabbing this textview you know we can we can go in here and we can had some padding and let's add a whole bunch of padding and we can see what happens so the padding is internal to the object itself and you know allows it to be spaced from from other things so let's and one side another tech strip and we'll do a wrap content and we'll do well add some text yes give me some text by spell correctly by world and we'll even do some text size okay and we will do all constrain the start to the end this guy this guy doesn't have a an idea oh no I default focus highlight a nickel this was so exciting to the editor but it was call this hello and say when you start me at the end of hello and you know right now this thing is looking a little wacky because some of the constraints are different you know we're going to constrain the and so there's right and left and there's a start and end start and end work for languages that go right to left or left to right and so they encourage you to use those so we're going to say constrain the end to the start of ID and we'll call this goodbye and you know and you can see how you know I write code not yeah you're gonna do things in sort of a messy way and it's it's perfectly fine right now right now there's a red squiggle here which says this view is not constrained vertically at runtime will jump to the top unless you add a vertical constraint so we're not saying that you know what is the top of this constrained to is a constraint to the top of hello world's constrained to the top of the parent you know what should we which we constrain to so let's let's do constrain top let's constrain top to the top of hello yeah and then it comes down here and you can see there's sort of different sizes and so if we do this and we had so we have padding here and if we had a bunch of margin here so let's just add margin and you can add for both padding and margin if you just add margin it adds at all in all directions or you can just add margin on the top on the right on the bottom you know at the point say TTP okay and actually see what this looks like it's gonna look a lot like this I shouldn't be a big surprise Oh is there a problem what didn't you like oh is a red squiggle because I didn't properly terminate my text view object in XML this little slash angle bracket terminates and an object okay I worked and you know we have hello worlds goodbye world and there in this sort of like wacky relationship because of how the padding and the margin are defined so here's a schematic and there are plenty of these things on the internet and again if you're just sort of a reasonable person you probably understand these things but for any element it's got a width it's got a height then it's got padding inside the element but before the border there's also a border width so you can make you know borders have a thinner thick and then outside the border there's margin between this and any other element and these are the basic out um sort of layout tools you have for widgets things like buttons text boxes chips there anything that you put in the layout has margin and padding and a border the height and width this for in school and we learn Cartesian coordinates with zero zero in the lower left for Android zero zero is in the upper left and with increases in this direction and height increases in this direction going down so it takes a little bit getting used to but it's not that big a change so again X increases in this direction how it increases going down that is the margin padding and then also we have gravity so there's gravity and there's layout gravity actually they have gravity doesn't affect constrain views very much then yep no so yeah there is gravity but you know what gravity in this case I don't think makes a difference yeah because all of the the pieces are constrained so you can chain you know change the constraints let's let's do it let's do one one quick thing so we've constrained the start here and we're going to constrain the end to the end of our parent okay start to the end of this this guy constrain I'm going to strain this starch to start of parent okay yeah and now we have what we call a chain so this so there's constraints vertically but horizontally there's this element is let's get rid of some of this padding this element is constrained to its contraindicated send is constrained with this elements beginning this beginning is constrained to this elements end and this is constrained also to its parent okay and that forms a horizontal chain and there are different things you can do with chains you can have them be evenly spaced which is what they are here by default you can have them spread out and spaced in between you can have them all packed together there are different ways you can tell Android studio once you set these things up in a chain how you want them to look so widgets are sort of simplest display elements we lay them out in a constrained layout or a linear layout and a linear layout we use gravity we didn't see that in this demo we've seen it in other things samples for a constraint layout you set up these chains or you just constrain individual items in relation to other items or in relation to the parent and then you can control how they look with some padding some margin and their borders you

Audrii Cunningham has been found!
Audrey C counts rumor she been found Community I also want to have say thank you to tr River announced that Audrey's body was located at the Trinity River under US Highway 59 as a result of today's developments I will just continue the amber alert for Audrey and I want to thank DPS Department of Public Safety for all their help in this alert the information that we have gathered in this criminal investigation is substantial the PO County Sheriff's Office investigators the lion police department and the Texas Rangers uh the game wardens the FBI Harris County Sheriff's Office the uh uh Sanda County Sheriff's Office the District Attorney's office um in U Trinity County in Liberty County uh it's just an outpouring of love from all of our law enfor enforcement Partners my heart aches with this news and I express with my deepest sympathies and condolences to everyone who knew who cared for and loved Audrey the sheriff's office we will continue to process the evidence that has been gathered to been gathered to ensure that the justice for aring and at this time I will turn the podium over to the PO County district attorney Miss ell s thank you bar my name is Shelley s and I am your pop County district attorney I just want to take a few moments to explain how we're going to move forward from here based on all of the evidence that law enforcement has collected tell us they are in the process of preparing the appropriate arrest warrants for Don Steven McDougall oh at this time we believe the appropriate arrest warrant is going to be for capital murder in the death of Audrey Cunningham oh he is currently still in jail under an unrelated felony charge here I understand that this is a very difficult time for Audrey's family and for our community the substantial law enforcement resources that were marshaled by the sheriff Lions I think should show you that this County and law enforcement they will come out when they need to to protect our children and the assets that we have been made available to PO County to protect our children have been substantial and at this point as Sheriff Lon said he'll continue to collect the evidence and process that the District Attorney's office is going to stand right beside them and follow through and we promise that you can assure that the District Attorney's office will be just as dedicated to this case as every one of these law enforcement officers that are standing behind you to do what is right for Audrey and bring Justice to our community thank you at this time time if you've got some questions we'll open it up to a few questions any indication of how Audrey was F I cannot speak to that at this time right now we have transported Audrey uh down to the Harris County medical examiner's office at that time we will await their results to be able to determine uh the cause and method of her her death but evidence suggests murder we believe that there is enough evidence yes oh my god did did did Steven did Don Steven McDougall lead you to that location on the River where you found her body did he tell you where to find her that was evidence uh that we was collecting through the cell phone through the cell phone analysis as well as through our as well as through our videos that we were able to collect and and exactly and and some of the information that we received from him we were able to pinpoint and and said there were several points of interest um that was turned over to us so that we were able to develop and thank goodness and that by the grace of God one of those places of interest we were able to locate as I as I understand that's the guy that's the guy evidence and and and right now folks when it start we start talking about how we linking evidence to McDougall and leaking evidence to um this case we want to be very careful on how we do that um I I would feel safe to say this is that there is substantial evidence through the evidence that we've gathered and some of that evidence was even gathered by the the wonderful Witnesses and wonderful folks out there in the social media who sent us videos who sent us uh pictures some of that even that evidence helped us to be able to come up with these locations as well as evidence from cell phones and as videos to uh pinpoint these locations you tell us of the 11y old body and if she was at this point right now until we get all our information back from the medical examiner's office we we don't want to release any information concerning Audrey and and uh condition of her body can you at least tell us if she found in the water that that area was one of the first areas of our concern points of interest when we started our search on Friday well midday Friday and again that's going to be developed from some of the evidence and and then yes there was some points uh where he did give information cuz there were several places that he said that he had went so it wasn't it wasn't a location where he said he took her but that was a a incidence where he said these were locations where he had gone without this evidence that you talk about would you have been able to find her where you found her without the evidence that you just described yes you would have found her there we would have found her not through not through him but we would have found it through the evidence that we collected from the analysis from phones and videos would have yes was she visible to the to the naked eye you you used a sonar you used a sonar boat Texas SEC was search was out with their sonar boat scanning the the bottom of the of the river for for her body they are the ones that discovered the body is that correct um now the image I I'm not going to say who exactly or what agency uh discovered her her her body today I will say this that due to the lowering we were able to contact TR Trinity River Authority they slowed down the the outflow from the uh the reservoir and it allowed the water to go down and and her body was discovered they're in the water um but I'm not going to say whether it was Harris County or Montgomery County or equa search it was a ceration of a lot of love and law enforcement networking together help discover sources have told us though that Steven McDougall was the one that told you to lower the river lower the level of the river we've been told that he actually told you to lower the water on the river is that true we talked to tr on several occasions about Ling it when they got to the front or they felt they were safe to lower the start lowering the river we um we were able to get them to do so whether or not Mr moule gave us information on lowering the river or not to be able to locate her that's information that we do not want to release at this time one more question one more question is there is there any evidence that the that he did advise that was one of the locations that he had gone not that it was saying that she was there or any other location but we know that he went there as Welling the death penalty yes until we get all of the evidence and all the autop death penalty work with law en SI scums like best solution to thise evidence supports that that is something that we're going to look into is there any evidence she was held somewhere else or was she killed pretty much today that she disappeared we we do not have any evidence at this time that's showing that where she may have been heal somewhere else but again we are still processing mounds and mounds of of information and an and data Mr Bob last question is there any evidence that there was anything used to keep the body underwater that is information at this time that we do not want to release do you have an approximate time frame for Winter Body thank you all very much thank you all for your questions thank you all for all that you've done for us to have bringing Audrey home unbelievable unbelievable hello there to you folks JB here with you live on WFLA now and we're going to uh load up some new video here some aerial video that we have of the area where 11-year-old Audrey Cunningham this is video uh that we were just able to cut here in The Newsroom uh showing you the area of the river the Trinity River where uh the remains of Audrey Cunningham are now confirmed to have been found if you're just finding out about this story obviously an extremely tragic story an 11-year-old girl uh this past uh Thursday goes missing um and of course um everyone hit that like and share button for me with COV Audrey cunning Cunningham case she was missing and now it turns out she died cuz he killed her a predator her babysitter the one that text her to school this guy he did it Livingston area but authorities say that she never even made it to the bus this of course set off a a frantic chain of events to locate little audre and a lot of the uh a lot of the Focus has been here uh on the Trinity River and a particular area of the Trinity River and and police of course have um been unable to comment up until this now 5:00 Eastern press conference that we just had where uh authorities were able to step up to the podium and confirm really uh what had made its way out to the media that uh the body of 11-year-old Audrey Cunningham was found upon lowering the uh water level at the Trinity River location where authorities were were focusing so much of of their efforts um so uh let's just yeah we'll put down that and show you guys um this Chopper video here in fact let's go full screen if we can and show you guys the chopper video so that we can look at this this is no longer live this is just some of the highlights um of that Chopper trip with our sister station flying over this area and of course you can see that there is uh a lot of law enforce there was a lot of law en every I think I I got the spot where she was found I'll show it after I got the spot where she was found boats being pulled out of the water you could uh hear Texas officials say that that Audrey's body her remains were not visible from the surface of the water uh we we know that there of course have been search efforts both from a law enforcement stand point and a volunteer standpoint using technology to try to scan uh beneath the uh the surface of the water to try to find any signs of Audrey and now we have really what is going to amount to an arrest according to Texas officials uh the arrest is going to be of Don Steven McDougall 42 years old that's him right here he of course uh has been a person of interest um since relatively early on in this case as we understand it uh they released a photo of his uh blue it was really a dark blue 2003 Chevy Suburban and they believed that that it was it was involved in Cunningham's disappearance uh cunning McDougall lived uh in a camper behind her residence really a friend of of the family as it's been described uh the sheriff Byron Lions said that McDougall uh who had been dropping Cunningham off at her bus stop was the last person to see her alive which is why of course there were so much uh attention and focus towards McDougall from pretty early on in the investigation McDougall was arrested on Friday night really the day after uh Cunningham was last seen though uh this was not related to the case or at least that's what they had stated at the time that it was on an unrelated aggravated assault charge and that McDougall would go on to tell authorities that he left the house with Cunningham but wouldn't say anything beyond that so again these are uh some shots from the news helicopter uh really above Trinity River and it's just an absolutely uh a tragic story we do not know how Audrey Cunningham uh died you heard one of the reporters there ask whether or not Audrey was was was held or oh my God did she uh did she die at some point on on Thursday into into Friday the the exact chronological series of events obviously remains uh unclear but so much focus of course being paid now uh to to Justice can't even imagine um what family and friends are are going through at this time upon learning this news and um and really just the the amount of heartbreak I'm sure in the in the Houston Community the the really the Greater Houston area as we're looking here at some of the some of the activity focused on the Trinity River unbelievable everybody hit that share button for me Facebook let's see here I have a photo that I'm going to try to bring up here on screen it's the photo that was released by authorities that show McDougall I'll see if I can bring that up what do you guys think should he life in prison Audrey or the death penalty 11 years old this is photo that we've seen a lot on social Po and that's the guy right there there is the person who according to authorities will be facing charges uh in her death uh that is I have a better picture of him right here I'll release here um what they had put out at the time and they say investigators continue to actively follow leads and have identified 42-year-old Don Steven McDougall of Livingston as one of the Persons of Interest involved in The Disappearance of 11-year-old Audrey Cunningham McDougall was arrested Friday by the P County Sheriff's Office office on an unrelated charge of aggravated assault investigators believe that a dark blue 2003 Chevrolet Suburban belonging to McDougall was involved in The Disappearance and is asking for the Public's help and Reporting any sightings of that vehicle near the Lake Livingston Dam this investigation remains active and ongoing if you have any information related to The Disappearance and then of course it says contact the pulk County uh Sheriff's offic this of course being pulk County in Texas again about 60 miles Northeast uh of Houston uh they were offering a $7,000 reward at the time for information reling to the arrest and prosecution of the person responsible for Audrey uh Cunningham's disappearance and now not just disappearance but now as we know uh her death um but again it exactly why a friend of the of the family who was entrusted with dropping her off and really making sure that she got to school safely making sure that she got to the bus stop what transpot ired and what changed um and and of course there's so many questions that um that exist again uh Dall was living in a camper on the property as we understand it and uh these are again details that I've been reading up on really uh just from the outside looking in trying to get uh my just just trying to wrap my brain around this story obviously because there's so much um that we just don't know about what happened to the little la here I'll do my very best if I can to answer as many questions or or bring up as many questions as I can out of the comment section let's load that up now uh you can use hashtag kjb if you're trying to get my attention on Facebook Live on YouTube live let's get YouTube chat loaded up all right guys so so far they have enough evidence okay now I have toe that Don Steven moule is responsible for her death this is the 11y old girl who went missing on February 15th on Thursday they don't know exactly how she died just yet but they have enough evidence to say that she was murdered and this pedophilia disgusting man I believe he has prior charges for that if I'm not mistaken correct me if I'm mistaken chat let me know in the heart of news time it's he was the last person to drop her off not even his kid McDougall a lot of confusion I already see a lot of comments coming in McDougall was arrested on Friday on an unrelated aggravated so they got lucks in custody Now sources told area television stations or newspapers I wasn't sure which Outlet it was but you heard some of the questions that were asked during the press conference where they uh one of the reporters said that there were sources indicating that McDougall was the one who offered the suggestion of lowering the water in the river from the reservoir to be able to get to the body of of Audrey Cunningham and again I haven't heard I haven't read any details yet as to what the dynamic is like with McDougall and whether or not there is um what kind of legal advice what kind of councils he's receiving while in lock up in PK County but yeah there's and I'm seeing a lot of comments here on on social media a lot of comments in our comment section uh people just you know wanting to know more about trusting your child uh to somebody who again would be responsible for um for her disappearance and death according to authorities unbelievable unbelievable and I I do this with a lot of live streams but I I I there's a lot of finger pointing that goes on and in the aftermath of of breaking news like this and again there's still a lot that we do not know about this story and about what transpired on Thursday and Friday they they haven't even formally arrested McDougall yet I understand that that's pretty much it's pretty much a a formality at this point them actually going through with the arrest and uh and charges being filed uh in the pursuit of justice for Audrey Cunningham however just again be mindful that uh we're everyone is still this is this is news that is still sinking in and so uh exactly we don't know what McDougle told authorities trying to figure it out okay if you use hashtag kjb um we can of course animate your comments on screen uh and we'll be doing this over the uh coming days as well with uh with additional live streams I'll be doing a live stream tomorrow as well uh and again yeah for those of you new to the program if if you use that hashtag we're able to pluck your comment out of the comment section and put it up here on screen uh monkey M says do you know how long the Monster uh lived on the property and again that's the words of one of our our commenters uh I I didn't I didn't see that detail exactly how long it was but that's of course going to create I mean was this was it years was it was it months was it years it blows my mind not entirely how this is your child this is your child and you let not only this man lived in the property but you let him take her to school there had been prior red flags there had to been uh all right an 11year old small girl 4 feet 75 PBS this guy is big I can't even I don't even want to think about about what he did I can't even imagine says hhjb prayers for the family prayers for the princess yeah no it's it's it's very what we see a lot with cases like this is that the social media reaction um so often just goes to how could how could this happen who could do this how would somebody do this to an 11-year-old girl um when uh really it's you know we don't see as many comments like this one from this you know again pointing to the fact that this is a family right now that is uh their their worst nightmare has come to life I mean really any for a parent to lose their their child for an extended period of time even minutes can feel like an eternity um this has been days is really the the LA almost the the entirety of the last week what five days it's Tuesday so really the entirety of the weekend not having any idea as to where Audrey was yeah the family often times get you know has got we've seen it in so many cases before the family gets forgotten about really in the aftermath of news like this because so many people just want there to be answers and justice um to as Russell 96 does he have any prior history as a sex predator I have not seen anything in regards to that I'm trying to find um reporters that and you know trying to find people that have been following this case and really know Southern gal where did you where did you hear this from where did you hear this information reports there is a text message proof that the mom was scheming with da to bring that baby to her for a meet up when it comes to local so then why why was she deceased then this is the Houston Market Sue thank you so much for the star Sue and Becky Odell thank you Sue I hope he gets the death penalty to passing this along to me McDougall was accused of attempting to engage in sexual contact with a girl under the age of 17 back in 2007 yep yep okay so this is coming from Monica thank you so much for the 500 Stars Monica RC thank you uh K Cole I got his information right here everybody hit that like button hit that share button this is ridiculous man oh my gosh tag one person on Facebook guys they found Audrey Cunningham the girl that went missing you know what uh no I'm I'm done with Microsoft Edge bro you should have been done with that you got to use Chrome yeah no that that's okay here we go the body of missing 11-year-old girl Audrey Cunningham the Livingston girl at the center of an amber alert has been found located in Trinity River on Tuesday according to kprc2 sources and a family friend of the girl this is coming from clickto houston.com in March 2007 McDougall allegedly attempted to engage in sexual contact with a girl uh under the age of 17 according to a grand jury indictment McDougall removed another female from the bed where the victim was sleeping before he got in the bed with the victim and quote well what is in parenthesis as pulled her pajama bottoms and panties down end quote Oh Jesus boria County grand jury indicted him in July of 2007 his bond was set at $225,000 at the time charges in the case of Audrey's disappearance have not yet been filed yeah so that of course is disturbing the sheriff saying that McDougall was a friend of the family friend of the father he was allowed to live there in a trailer behind the house behind the property correct whether I don't see anything here in this Click 2 Houston report again coming from KPRC he wasn't registered he wasn't a registered there are NBC sister station in Houston it doesn't make it clear as to whether or not the Cunningham family was aware of that 2007 incident okay right here in 1999 April 18th he was his charges were speeding six to8 miles you have to imagine that and this charge hold on um you wouldn't uh not too many people out there would want their child um being dropped dropped off to school by somebody who faced such an accusation even if it was nearly 20 years ago Al so it caus bily injured family so he was a very aggressive person I mean it it goes without saying right if if you knew that your friend even even even an accusation now attempted to engage in sexual contact with a minor and that there were details such as removing a female from a bed where a victim where the victim was sleeping and before that he got in the bed and victim and pulled her pajama bottoms and panties down again that that's the from the grand jury indictment that's um that that would disqualify most people from being able to look after a kid and drop that kid exctly exactly now what what the Cunningham family knew I don't see in this report but obviously it's deeply disturbing all right let's move on to the next comment mougle stabbed a man three times uh hasht kjb from Marty mcfr he was enticing a child crime deserves the death penalty that's really not for me to um we get this question so often and and we get it so often when it comes to crimes against children because and I'm very aware that we we have an international audience that watches us here on live stream right we have people that watch us from Europe from Asia from from from Africa people that watch us from around the world from different countries uh many countries where um the the death penalty is frowned upon uh but the death penalty in this country um and some to be clear some states it it is allowed Texas is one of those States Florida is another one of those States I have worked as a reporter in states that do and do not have the death penalty and the death penalty is is most commonly brought up in my experience as as doing what I do on social media the death penalty is most commonly brought up in cases surrounding kits because anyone who would inflict harm or Worse death Upon a Child you just you automatically think that this is that there are few crimes that get worse than that doing something to a child or claiming a child's life yeah but how could you let it's not and again I I say this all the time on stream um it's not that the purpose of of our our interaction on live stream isn't for me to answer a question like this you're absolutely able to ask this question of other but but it is my responsibility as an interactive journalist to tell you that this case even though it looks and it might feel to be slam door shut they they haven't even finished the paperwork on the arrest warrant yet we know it's not closed as it was clear in the press conference that they they have yet to proceed with a formal arrest of McDougall so to say that you know that this crime deserves the death penalty it look Audrey Cunningham her story you would hope will get told in time and then this question will be able to be more um answered with with more of a sense of responsibility than we can answer it now but this just goes to show I'm putting this up on screen simply because so many people uh feel as if if you're committing a crime against a child it it deserves a capital punishment where's the mother and all this I want to know what what she has to say about this the father I I I can't imagine how the father did not know so me how the father could have not known none of us do background checks on Friends Sheriff stated no the family did not know it happened in in another County yeah I might have missed that from from the press conference we were still getting live in a lot of different places the family did not know how how so how it's true I don't do background background checks on my friends but at the same time I don't have a lot of friends so I mean so it's one of those situations where do you really know ask yourself this question parents out there do you really know who you're trusting your child with do you really know you think you know right do you really know right right also too the the this is and this applies as well to play dates and sleepovers your your kid comes home and and makes a best friend and you're so excited because your child has just made a friend at school that you think could be a maybe a friend for life just because of how famously they get along you meet their parents this child's parents and you're saying all right we're going to arrange a play date but do you how much do you really know about the parents that this happens every single day now this is a different Dynamic than than the hypothetical I was just stating this is a this is a man who was living on a camper on the family property that's a whole other level of trust to live to to live in a camper right near you like that rebuke wants to know did the suspect lead them to the body that has been what has been insinuated by local media through sources sour is close to the investigation But to answer that question as the gentleman that was in the conference said ajb just wondering if they have a GoFundMe page sorted for her or really well would be for the family and yeah there is no information yet on any specific details guys this just happened I know people want to know how was she found they're not releasing anything in those details to the public just yet because it's still open investigation but let me tell you let me tell you something they got this guy on different charges he so happened because he had a warrant out if he did not have that while he's in their custody this guy would have fled he would have fled they are lucky they had him in his custody and then they found her that is completely you locked out right there there are people who know hey if I did I'm out I'm running I'm gone he must have knew like damn I am f c d they had him already on a different separate charge that is CRA of the says my friends and I do backgr checks to each other that is that is lucky on PD's part I'm going to tell you again that is lucky man that he had that that warrant get together if you're around friends this is crazy and now the father has to live with this because your friend whatever he did to her guys we don't know what he did to this poor little girl we don't do I really want to know Guan do I really want to know go it's [ __ ] up somebody had a had a criminal history and they were at this party they might look for the door pretty quickly as to not have their sketchy past uh uncovered yeah this is just this is tragic Jake man 11 11 years old and and we haven't even talked about motive they didn't but would any motive make sense no probably not I mean it it kind of would because we we can identify the reason of her death why did he do it William says my prayer to her what kind of intentions did he have did he have predatory intentions how long she had been missing she been missing did he have a psychological episode is he just a villain stop is he mentally disable to the point where Thursday he is just violent this there are many factors of him doing this Monday what do you believe why did he do this in your opinion yes we are speculating but it is it is an opinion in your theory why did he do this to an 11-year-old girl she didn't even make it to the bus Isabella was it someone she knew personally yeah what this was a routine for the family as we understand what there there's some there are some questions as to she looks I see your I see your question and it's just too early in this case for me to even put that up on screen unbelievable um it was I it just yeah we don't know we don't know I have the images guys hold on too early let see somebody said it to me on Discord there it is so this is where they found her again nothing's graphic I'm not breaking no YouTube policies Facebook so YouTube please I'm not this is where they discovered her for those of you who shout out to whoever sent that on Discord for those I'm sorry I'm reading some details uh for those of you who uh follow the channel we are going to be back live uh tomorrow I believe the time is noon you can follow me on Twitter on Instagram uh for where I really where I put out uh updates uh people have been asking for um I follow the Gabby Patito case quite a bit and uh quite a lot and um there's been just a an absolute massive truckload of documents that have dumped in that case in the last week where that case now we have so many more answers than we did um really a week two weeks ago I mean the amount of documents that have been coming out in that case with sworn testimony or really sworn depositions that have uh shed light on some questions that have gone unanswered for years the plan is for us to stream tomorrow uh around noon think that's the plan and uh answer as many questions as we can on that story given that a civil Tri The Gabby petito trial would be happening uh in just 3 months really Less Than 3 months from now right here in Florida so if you're just tuning in right now so that's tomorrow we're talking about the Audrey Cunningham case where an 11-year-old girl went missing she went missing and no one knows why they say BR last scene at a bus stop but it turns out that poor little Audrey was close by that bus stop found in a river in Texas the Trinity River her body was discovered because of the water that was lowered down and there seems to be evidence that her friend's her father's friend Don Steven moual you see right here in this all this this disgusting individual you see right here he so happened to murdered her and there is enough evidence that the police in PD states that there's enough to actually char charge him there's enough to actually say that he did this they don't know how just yet but they know that it is their evidence is there you can visibly see whatever they see that someone has done this and they believe that he is tied to this and uh Audrey is the 11-year-old girl that I'm going to show you right here this poor ah this poor little child man you know there's a special place in hell for people who can do such acts on a on an innocent child she is only 4 foot 75 pounds very that's tiny tiny an average male is what 5'9 [ __ ] I'm almost six feet this guy is like around my height or something like that and I like I four foot is that's too much power for this man to have to put in play to to have this individual this Sweet Child In His Hands I just to even think about if he done anything to I can't it grosses me out it's dis it's just disgusting his history is disgusting he's violent he's a predator literally a predator pulling down uh this an and miners undergarments I I don't want to say certain words how can you how is he and you know let me tell you something and I'm I'm going to be serious here I can I'm going to say this I'm going to know who my child is with I'm gonna know if I'm going to have someone take my child to school of course I want to know who's going to take my child to school regardless if they're my friend I might know you I'm not I might know you from my childhood but you think I'm not going to look into it yes I'm leaving a small child noo have a very set of guidelines or not even guidelines really but we just we have a way of going about things to vet the information before we report it but when it comes to when it comes to the to to you know online sleuthing you don't you don't have to if you find something you just retweet it or you post it and you say look at this look at that and then of course that's where speculation enters the picture and the more speculation that enters in uh to the picture um the more that you have uh a lack of of credible information at the center of your of your fact finding Mission so um I'm already the reason I bring this up is because I'm already seeing a number of oh look at this look at that and even links being shared people to in connection with this story again as a reminder really uh I I am I'm going to tell you exactly how I'm going to perceive with this story I'm going to be really paying attention to Houston media and trying to to find some of the reporters in Houston that are really try that have really been paying attention to this case since Thursday and and unearthing some of the most credible information uh in the case thus far and and so I encourage you as a as a news consumer the news audience at large to do the same uh try to find reporters in Houston that have really um really been somebody uh let me go to read the comments let's see um this is just ridiculous this little this poor little girl a grown ass man a grown a grown man could put his hands I don't know what I can't even think think about it Sarah M of Facebook say YouTube says I emailed the PD your parade stream from last night they wanted me to send it to the FBI so I did great oh [ __ ] thank you Sarah you send my stream to the FBI appreciate that very much I appreciate that very very very very much um we're talking about the Audrey case and they found her ah so messed up man they found this poor little girl's body it must have been something a little a little vile and let me tell you why they found her body immediately I said it was murder it was a homicide immediately they said this immediately there must have been something on the scene something on that scene that they found that they were like someone did this someone murdered this child I don't know what they found because obviously they don't release nothing to the public but they were very quick to make that press conference they did it amicably whatever that was found whatever that man did to this little girl whatever it's messed up that remains to be seen remains to be seen folks that's going to wrap it up for me here on the live stream uh as a reminder uh we are going to be let's see here we are going to be uh streaming tomorrow around noon

friend a guy living behind her property in a mobile home um his name is Don Stevens McDougall and um it's a messed up story because he is a violent person he has bad history and he's a predator from what we know from what we understand he's a predator and I don't know what he did to her I don't want to know just yet if I'm even ready for that but it we know so far that imagination could only go so far especially For What evidence that is told to us that they collected that is told to us audience all right so um the this is a brand new video right here somebody was actually on the scene let's

connecting the puzzles of actually the events that took place the events that actually took place we're connecting the puzzle now something to do with his car she actually never went to the bus stop found in a Trinity River let's connect these pieces to understand what could have happened let's continue Audrey's body you said they suddenly shed you all off and said this has become a crime scene what did they tell you exactly Elizabeth it was very sudden and as a reporter that sometimes happens when you're reporting on these types of situations you know we were just Gathering everybody in the Discord please make sure you are putting links links in the correct channels if it's something about a specific case put it in that case that is in the channel in Discord correctly okayo by the river this is where law enforcement had been staged for days um just with their trucks and boats ready to search that area and so we had our camera set up all of a sudden we had Law Enforcement Officers say you got to get back this is now a crime scene they put up the tape the yellow tape around the whole bridge that goes over the river and then I saw them put up the red critical incident tape just sort of over the rail road tracks where uh that also crossed the river right next to the overpass and so that uh kind of was a worrisome sight to see that the that critical incident tape was going up Elizabeth and what can you tell us about this man who's now been charged with this crime uh don Steven McDougall he was held as a person of interest he was a friend of the father and apparently living in a trailer behind the family home yeah absolutely right you know we just heard from the district attorney there saying that they are preparing that arrest that's him by by the way I'm telling you right now this man is lucky this man is lucky excuse me because let me tell you something he's lucky and unlucky you're lucky Dawn because the outside world would have messed you up people would have hunted for you they would have trust me trust me you're you you on the run you on the Run they some people would have trust me but now you're unlucky because cops already had you in jail for unrelated charge that's unlucky and now you about to go to jail where there's people in Texas that's going to shove it up your butt you're done you're done you're done you're done you wrecked an 11year old child whatever you did is disgusting I don't want to know what you did I can't even I get like it's just a chill vomit whatever he did if people in public are not gonna get him in jail they're gonna get him trust me on that warrant for capital murder for McDougall um you know not his first time uh running with the law we've looked at his criminal history just based on the state of Texas uh dozens of uh runin with police there he had a former uh child enticement conviction from 2007 and yeah he according to the sheriff was this family friend living on the property and seem ly um had a good rapport with the family it sounds to us like the sheriff said that this McDougall man um who is now a suspect who's been a longtime Person of Interest uh would even walk her to the bus stop and take her to school sometimes uh uh so that is sort of what we know about his relationship he's sitting in the jail right now on an unrelated charge but again they're preparing that capital murder uh warrant for him as we speak thanks so much for so this guy always takes her to the you know what it sounds like it sounds like this guy had a PL a specific agenda a specific plan Janice with 100 Stars thank you so much whoever sent stars on Facebook a lot of star senders on Facebook thank you so much I appreciate that this it sounds like this guy was like okay let me keep taking her to school let me take her to school this day I'mma take her again I'm going to offer it I'll tell the father I become he he's friends it's not like he know noticed that his friend had a daughter a small daughter we don't know what he did what he actually did to her in the past he probably did something else but on this day something to do with his car he acted as like this is the day that I'm actually gonna do something whatever he did I cannot for a fact and say that he did something maybe he had a desire to k i l l her maybe he had a desire of something and in a grooming aspect disgusting it it just sounds like if he did this multiple times why are you think as a man like this is just doing it from the bottom of the he's just a caring guy like hey I'm gonna take her to school because I love doing this what are you talking about but now that we know she never made it to the bus stop where did you take her don don what did you do where did you take her where did you commit this disgusting act an 11-year-old T tiny tiny girl she's not a she's not a woman she's not an an adult she's not even a young adult she's a child she's helpless she doesn't have the strength the knowledge she doesn't have that in that that that thought of oh he might do something no because you kept her taking her to you kept taking her to school she trusted you she trusted you she trusted you man because you took her to school this little girl gave you a trust she was like okay okay I'm going to go with you she trusted you you freaking coward she didn't have any idea what you was going to do to her she didn't know this she trusted you it's disgusting and and you and you disappointed you disappointed her you disappointed the public her grandmother Missouri it's just disgusting it's disgusting I'm I'm just a loss for words I I I I I really am exactly Elizabeth it was very sudden and as a reporter that sometimes happens when you're reporting on these types of situations you know we were just Gathering video by the river this is where law enforcement had been staged for days um just with their trucks and boats ready to search that area and so we had our camera set up all of a sudden we had Law Enforcement Officers say you got to get back this is now a crime scene they put up the tape the yellow tape around the whole bridge that goes over the river and then I saw them put up the red critical incident tape just sort of over the railroad tracks where uh that also crossed the river right next to the overpass and so that uh kind of was a worrisome sight to see that the that critical incident tape was going up Elizabeth and what can you tell us about this man who's now been charged with this crime uh don Steven McDougall he was held as a person of interest he was a friend of the father and apparently living in a trailer behind the family home we have a press confer yeah absolutely right you know we just heard from the dist conference let's head right out there live now to get some more details over her missing you have been your help has been immensely appreciated it has been it's been great I want to thank again everyone who has been engaged in the efforts to find Audrey from the investigators to the volunteers who all who have spent countless hours and following throughout this investigation Don Steven mcdu Don mcdu um will be is currently actually being prepared and capital murder will be the charge he is currently in jail on an unrelated charge these are some photo images right there he is a man that is not um new to law enforcement he's had several run-ins with law enforcement throughout his history we also found out here today that Audrey's body is currently over at the Harris County medical examiner's office at this point they're going to try to determine the exact cause of death that was something that was not made clear obviously here once we get the probable cause after David and we get some more details really ironed out on paper from the DA's office again those documents are still being prepared but once it's on paper we will have more information from that standpoint as well um again capital murder is the charge the sheriff also spoke about the cell phone analysis because a lot of people were trying to figure out exactly the timeline how did this play out how did this little girl who so many people thought were or at least last thing we knew she was going to be walking to school to hopefully get on the bus but our Abigail die earlier in the week spoke to a neighbor who said every single day she sees Audrey walking to that bus stop and that day Thursday morning she did not see Audrey and that's some of the concern this video here for example we also uncovered on Friday that is McDougall right there speaking to law enforcement shortly before he was taken into custody on that unrelated charge so this is the video he did it the day after this is him we're looking at the video he actually did it the day after Sue uh Sue brj with a 200 and 10 star and 100 Stars I hope he gets the death penalty how could he do this it's sickening Sue I have no idea and you are absolutely correct Sue thank you at Shane Cheyenne Taylor with a thousand Jesus Cheyenne she says she went missing on February 15 I hate to say it but uh she's his Val she's his Valentine I'm so sick with this whole story you know what maybe I don't know I don't know if the way to put it like that but maybe he felt some type of way that is a coincidence that it is the day right after Valentine but not the day of Valentine that was Wednesday but this is the day you're looking at the day this was right after this is the image of what we got from him right after 24 hours less I I I would I would assume less you sick mother someone sent me the text messages uh what's your name spookiness 95 on Discord sent me text messages of the incident of what happened um between the mother and him when exchanging in uh conversation uh we're going to look at that we're going to we're going to look at that but again cell phone analysis videos from the public also contributed to them putting together some locations not to mention Don himself I don't want to say he was totally cooperating with law enforcement but I can certainly say that he gave them certain points of interests um and that again contributed to them being able to find this little girl here today one last thing here I want to mention the Trinity River Authority um the sheriff mentioned that they were able to work with them to reduce the flow of the water in the river and once that water water was lower they were able to locate Audrey Cunningham 11year old body sad news here um but we're going continue to follow this here um we just wanted to break in bring you guys up to speed we'll

Justin's mom's she does all the time yes exactly she is still not allowed outside by herself in the evening they told her that you are in the woods she is she is confused about the situation guys this

accidentally pull up with her to fish the one by their house really anywhere that's asking for trouble and setting me up for failure okay this sounds like the mother who lost custody can't see her child or whatever it looks like Don is trying to take the child and it place by accident where so happens the mother is to be there and now he she's able to see her mother without the father knowing H your baby has been asking about you she is so confused about the situation but I told her that you are not hiding in the woods could be something a little more deep into this guys you know I don't I don't throw that around I don't throw that around I don't but reading these messages it seems it seems that there's something could be something else it could be and he could be that variable Don could be that variable but Don okay the only suspicious thing here is that he responds to her immediately but on that morning on Thursday he didn't respond to her he didn't he didn't respond to her Thursday 6:31 a.m. she wrote to She Wrote to him saying morning he responded immediately good morning she said I hope I get to see her he didn't respond I'm missing a part of that message of his

express with my deepest sympathies and condolences to everyone who knew who cared for and loved Audrey police have been questioning 42-year-old Don Steven McDougall as a person of interest in Audrey's disappearance McDougall has a long criminal record and lives in a camper van behind the home where Audrey lived with her father about an hour north of Houston Police say McDougall admitted he left the property with Audrey to take her to her school bus stop just before 700 a.m. last Thursday something he apparently had done on several previous occasions Audrey never got on the bus and never made it to school McDougall officials say will now be charged with murder 6:31 a.m. she texted you you responded immediately it's looking like you did something between 6:31 a.m. and 7 a.m. because she never made it to the bus stop you did something between those two times because she leaves prior towards 7: a.m. something you didn't respond I need the text message after the father and the the grandmother said this look I want guys to look at star Knight's comment she's been posting a lot of good comments today how can the grandmother and the father say this such a terrible thing to say doesn't matter if they trying to help that's not helping in this case it definitely did not and let me tell you why you might think so but it's not because this little girl thought that her mother was going to take it away to the woods or something but it was a guy found her body how the how the how did her body get all the way down here answer the question how how now that means that you're by that comment if that's true which it is because we read it she put more faith in his hands just to be harmed what the hell did you do to this child what did you do to her what why would you do that to her what in the world did you do to her this is strange based on all of the evidence that law enforcement has collected they are in the process of preparing the appropriate arrest warrants for Don Steven McDougall at this time we believe the appropriate arrest warrant is going to be for Capital murder in the death of Audrey Cunningham and the district attorney says that if the evidence in this case supports it prosecutors will seek the death penalty John Jonathan Hutt with the latest on that sad tale Jonathan thank you all right guys there seems to be something more missing on this case I'm going to I'm

Xapo Debit Card Fail & Loading a Paypal Card with Bitcoin Dollars
the infamous at this point zapo debit card which was hyped for many months as a uh possible solution for people who want to go spend their Bitcoins around the around the world at any Merchant who already takes credit cards and debit cards and uh you know just swipe a card and money comes out of your Bitcoin wallet or whatever and and you're good to go and uh zapo received a bunch of venture funding I think it was over like over $12 million probably a lot more than that um and you know a lot of people were excited but as the debit card actually began to roll out um people realized that this isn't all it's cracked up to be that a lot of the same fees are associated with it as regular debit and credit cards so zapo had to do some back pedaling a little bit um in terms of what they promised and eventually even had to tell people that we we will cover those fees that might be le levied against you by the Legacy banking system don't worry it's all good please still love us um please still use our product we'll cover it for you so you know what do you what do you think about that yeah so I was one of the people who were super excited about zapo um cuz you know there's not there it's not really a globally available you know Bitcoin debit card you can put you can put Bitcoins on like a prepaid card or do like some like something to there's a PayPal method that I that I've been using but I I'll get into that in a minute yeah and then there's there's a couple Bitcoin debit card services in Canada some other ones and some other places but other than that there's there's no other like real actual Bitcoin debit card so when I found out about zapo actually it was when I read your article that you wrote you know a few months ago um I got really excited because obviously you know I write for coin brief I get paid in Bitcoin like how how much easier would it be like if I wanted to buy something from a store that doesn't accept Bitcoin I got to you know sell my Bitcoins on coinbase wait four days for it to go to my bank account and then go buy it if I had if I had a debit card it just wouldn't matter um so I was really excited about that and I was just as disappointed as everyone else was and what happened was that they started shipping out the cards in July like they said they're going to and some people in the US found out that it's not available in the US now zapo could have done the right thing and they could have warned people ahead of time where they could have been like this is a slight possibility that it w that it won't be available in some countries but they decided to wait until the people were actually confirming their shipping address so they could get the card to say oh we notice you have a you a United States based shipping address unfortunately due to US Financial regulations we can't actually ship the card to your house and so sorry America so people found out just zapo treated as an after as an afterthought people found out wasn't acceptable or wasn't available in the US got kind of mad about that but then there were some people that were like haha now the US gets to know what it's like to not be able to use a Bitcoin service yeah in their country because you normally it's the other way around it's available in the US nowhere else yeah then a few days later zapo updated their FAQ page uh where it says what about fees um before they made this update it said all you have to pay is $15 to get the actual card after that there's no fees but then they put up this little chart and it had this huge list of fees you like uh like termination fees maybe I think uh monthly fee monthly service just having it currency conversions like if you you know try to get a foreign currency you have with your card you have to pay a fee for that at all these fees yeah ATM fees all these fees that uh that you know they're pretty they're common with you know traditional debit and credit cards but zapo said we wouldn't have those fees so people got really mad about that so mad that zapo actually had to make a post on their official blog and they said um they said oh no these these aren't the fees you're actually going to have to pay we just put these fees on the website because um this is what these are the kinds of fees that you have to pay on the Legacy banking system and since we're operating on an existing credit card infrastructure you might have you might end up accidentally you might accidentally get charged a fee but don't worry we're going to reimburse any fees you get charged I didn't buy it I don't think there were a lot of people that bought it and zapo pretty much ruined their reputation over the course of like three days yeah I mean really like they just hyped it up too much at the beginning and you know maybe I'm personally responsible for that a little bit with my article I need to go back and and see how I covered that exactly to see if I made it sound that you know there would be like no fees associated with it but you know they they should have been more transparent from the from the beginning um like just be honest with people like just let them know like people had already ordered the car and card and signed up for the service and they don't even know that these fees might be le levied against them and just trying to backpedal now and saying don't worry we'll cover it for you like already your your reputation is is downgraded already at this point so I mean I I still might get one but uh personally like I I already have a solution for uh like using a debit card um with with Bitcoin with money that originally came from Bitcoin um the the method that I use is through PayPal uh I just go on local Bitcoins um find a person who will buy my Bitcoins for the best possible rate and sell it to them through PayPal they pay me through PayPal usually they cover um they they actually buy at a higher rate to cover the PayPal fees so in the end I'm getting the same the same value same amount of Bitcoins that I would have gotten uh from like selling through coinbase or to someone for the actual exchange rate and then once it's once the money's in my PayPal account um I have a PayPal uh debit Mastercard um which enables me to just transfer the funds immediately from my PayPal account uh to the debit Mastercard and then that's obviously compatible with with any you know debit credit uh Merchants that take that and you know that's that's a couple of that's a few steps but um it's it's actually it's actually pretty easy and straightforward once you do it a couple times and the the hardest part is just finding someone who will give you like a a good rate on local Bitcoins in PayPal dollars um you pretty much have to find someone who uh you know you you have to go on in the middle of the day when when there's a lot of people awake and um and find just sort by best deal and and and do it that way but that's been working out pretty well for me so far and I actually see no reason to actually switch over to zapo now especially when it would cost $15 just to get the card and you know all the Legacy Banking and ATM fees and and all that associated with it like the the the PayPal debit card that I that I use for this that does have a $5 monthly fee um but and then there's ATM fees as well if I go if I withdraw it random ATM but you know it's it's fairly straightforward and I just see no reason to to use zapo at this point right well with that method you know you actually have to have people in your area that are you know buying and selling Bitcoin not necessarily if you're doing it over over PayPal um it's basically it's basically anywhere that's true cuz see my problem with local Bitcoins is that nobody my area is has Bitcoin yeah so you can't do it locally iners Cash Cash transaction I went on there yeah yeah go like um like I went on there and there's like five people within 100 mile radius of me and none of them were buying they were all selling and their prices were like $670 so you know there's there's not really a bitco market in my area B de there's not really a Bitcoin Market in my area yeah I mean but I you know I could always just put in a different zip code and find you know deals that aren't in my area yeah and like do don't don't do um cash trans if you don't if you're if you're not looking for cash transactions do online transactions instead and that's how you find all the people who will transact through PayPal and other like random forms of money transfer like money pack and stuff that I have never used personally but um yeah there's actually there's people who will pay a good rate in PayPal dollars if you can if you can find them in the right time of day and they'll cover the PayPal fees for you I don't know how they're able to do that and stay in business you know buying Bitcoins on local Bitcoins but somehow they do it and you know it's pretty straightforward the the only like problem is is if you secure your local Bitcoins account with um an authenticator like Google authenticator for two-factor authentication um you have to be pretty careful about um about that because like I I updated my phone and and reinstalled the Google Authenticator and now I had to wait two weeks uh for to get access to my local Bitcoins funds luckily that two weeks is just about up but you know it's it's um there's a way to do it there's a way to do it without having to rely on zapo yeah I just I wish it would be easier though like that's it'll get easier in time that's the that's the next step towards you know mainstream adoption is you have you have to make it easy you have to make it easy enough for people to use uh so that they actually you know have an incentive to switch over to it yeah like you you have to be able to use it at enough places so it needs enough Merchant acceptance and it has to be easy for the average person to use it like right now there's a lot of steps involved like you have to get a download a wallet buy them on an exchange you know all this stuff when we get when we get some like really um intuitive things like debit cards and and stuff like that it'll be just like a bank account and people can use it and not even realize they're using Bitcoins like it won't be much different for them and that's when that's when Bitcoin will really take off yeah there was a quote by someone I I forget who it was but um I read it online somewhere they said that Bitcoin will truly make it big when people are using it and they don't know that they're using Bitcoin yeah so uh you know I think we're on our way to that point and we're making progress is we're just not getting there as fast as some people you know kind of hoped idealistically based on Promises by companies like zapo you know it's going to it's going to take a lot of time and that you still have to go through you still have to deal with all the BS uh banking fees that go along with regular credit and debit card systems so um you know I guess you know personally I'm not going to use zapo but if other people want to try it yeah go go ahead and um you know post your reviews online post your reviews on Reddit about your experience with zapo like how many how much fees did you actually experience and did zapo actually reimburse you for it you know that the proof will be in the p about whether this is an actually a good product yeah I was going to get one and do a review for it on coin brief but not available in the US so but I mean it's it's never going to nothing's ever going to go you know perfectly as planned and it's it's not really a major setback to be honest because you know how old is Bitcoin 5 Years and we're already we already have like early versions of Bitcoin debit cards yeah yeah you know like how how long um how long did the dollar exist before credit cards and debit cards came into existence um and how long did it take between the first credit cards like how long did it take starting at the first credit cards to get where they are today you know it took decades and we're five we're five years in and we already have you know like a very crude version of debit cards already so it's it's happening a lot faster than any other monetary technology ever has we just have to be patient yeah that's a really interesting way to look at it like when you put things in the big perspective bitcoin's only been around for 5 years and even just even just a year ago like in the summer of 2013 um we had none of these services not nearly as many wallets um definitely no debit cards that could possibly be linked to a to a Bitcoin account um so yeah I mean I guess we have made a lot of progress in the past year and people people are trying to make even rapider progress for the next coming year you know it's just we need we do need to be patient

three confirming the measureless gifts of the almighty confirm him the measureless gift gifts of the almighty coming to number one comprehending comprehending the manifold Grace of the almighty we're coming to First Peter in First Peter I am reading from chapter 4 1 Peter chapter 4 and we're looking at verse 10 1 Peter chapter 4 and we're reading from verse 10 you'll see it says the grace of God is manyfold it's not just you know I got saved praise the Lord you got saved there's more to the grace of God look at this chapter 4 verse 10 it says in chapter 4: 10 1 Peter as every man has received the gift every man will receive the gift I said every man will receive the gift God counts you in don't count yourself out God is thinking about you don't say I have nothing no you have everything I I have I said I have look at this as every man has received the gift even so Minister the same one to another as good stewards of here is where what what we're looking for the manifold grace of God the manifold grace of God understand we're talking about the almighty he so mighty he cannot fail he is so mighty that there is nothing impossible ible for him and he says he comes to us through the manifold Grace manifold Grace let me show you what it says about the grace of God so that you'll understand how yours is included it will solve your problem it'll take away your Sorrows look at chapter 5 of Romans Romans chapter 5 I'm reading from verse 17 I were looking at the manifold grace of God the many sided Grace of of God look at Romans chapter 5 verse1 17 it says for If by one man man offense death ranged by one Much More Much More they which receive what kind of Grace I said what kind of Grace and you know sometimes they're Distributing something and the end you come they give you a little they measure it and they tailor it to they're looking at everybody and they say if we give give you too much it will not go around but the grace of God is so great and is so abundant every Grace you need tonight is available for you because it says through the abundance of the grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reain they will not rule over you you will rule over them all those problems the looking surmountable the abundance abundant grace of God is coming to you tonight and you will re by one Jesus Christ abundant grace somebody help me shout abundant grace abant what are you having tonight abant what's coming to you tonight no matter how far you have gone in the negative Direction the grace of God is greater than that it will overtake you it will bring you back you will experience the love of God tonight the Forgiveness of God tonight the freedom from God tonight and the supply of everything you need tonight in Jesus name look at this in 1 Timothy chapter 1 1 Timothy chapter 1 I'm reading from verse 14 1 Timothy chap 1 ver14 and the grace of our Lord Jesus was exceeding abundance with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus in Romans were learned it is abundant but now it tells us Paul the Apostle said he's gone so far is gone so deep it's gone against the way of the Lord and it's a terrible thing that he had done but he says now it's not only that the grace of God came to save me it's not only that the abundant grace of God came to save me he said exceedingly abundant grace you need that tonight it will come understand tonight whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved but I've been very bad the grace of God covers you I've been terrible the grace of God covers you I have done something I cannot even tell people because if I tell them they will Stone me to death the grace of God covers you tonight Grace covers me Grace covers me salvation is coming Grace will bring it to you in Jesus name verse 14 verse 14 and the grace of our Lord was exceed in abundance with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus it will come to you the grace of the almighty brings the repentance to the almighty the grace is like drawing you it's like pulling you it's like saying don't be dejected don't be sorrowful and don't seek that there is no hope for you there is hope for you over there today everyone here there is hope for you in Jesus name and then that grace of God forgives you forgives you and saves you regenerates you recreates you reconciles you the penitent to the almighty look at Titus Titus Chapter 3 in Titus Chapter 3 I'm reading from verse 7 Titus chter 3: 7 it says be justified by his grace that's the grace of God we should be made ears according to the hope of eternal life it says the grace of God he forgives us and he justifies us what does that mean it's like you somebody goes to court and everybody speaks against him Witnesses speak speak against him lawyers speak against him Advocates speak against him his own conscience speaks against him even his countenance speaks against him everything is against him and then the judge said look up here everybody is against you but I am on your side what the Lord is saying is Satan is against you demons are against you your neighbors are against you even your conscience accusing you you are bad you're sinful you're terrible you're deformed you're defiled and you're going to go to hell and then God said look up here I am on your side am I talking to somebody there today is the Lord talking to somebody there today tonight every sin you ever committed because Jesus died for you on the cross of Calvary he will forgive everything in Jesus name whatever is accusing you whoever is accusing you God says God says is talking to somebody there God says is talking to somebody there I am on your side look at that look at that it says for being justified by his grace we should be made HS according to the hope of eternal life look at um Hebrews chapter 2:9 Hebrews chapter 2:9 it says but we see Jesus you will see him tonight in your mind side you will see him tonight in your conscience you'll see him tonight in your spirit in your soul in your heart you'll see him tonight in Jesus name but we see Jesus was made a little lower that the angels for the suffering of death look at this look at this count with Glory and Honor that by the grace of God that he by the grace of God should taste this should taste this for every man he died your days I said he died your death you will not die prematurely you will not die spiritually you will not die is Sinners days that when the fellow dies they say ah that man we know where he has gone and they put their finger in their mouth that will not be your lord tonight wants to say I receive Jesus I accept Jesus I make Jesus my Lord and savior he has tasted death for every man look at verse 10 for it became him for whom are all things and by whom are all sin in bringing in bringing in bringing many sons unto Glory I am one of them I said I am one of them to make the captain of their salvation perfect through suffering and then look at verse 11 for both he that Sanctified and they who are Sanctified are all of one he sanctifies we are Sanctified and then we're United with him it says they all of one because it says for which cause he is not ashamed to call them Brethren is not ashamed he says that's my brother that's my sister and this is the Lord Jesus Christ talking it is done in Jesus name we coming now to Acts of the Apostles chapter 4 Acts of the Apostles chapter 4 I'm reading from verse 33 Acts of the Apostles chapter 4 and we're reading from verse 33 look at vers 33 it says in verse 33 and with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus and tell me the rest over there and tell me the rest over there if you are part of the all tell me out Al loud and great grace was upon them all what does that mean upon them all upon them over there I said upon them over there I said upon them over there I said upon them over there what kind of Grace I said what kind of Grace great grace is for you tonight in 2 Corinthians chapter 12 2 Corinthians chapter 12 and we're looking at verse 9 2 Corinthians chapter 12 look at verse 9 it says in verse 9 and he said unto me and he said unto me and he said unto me and he said unto me my grace is sufficient for you my grace is sufficient

Basket Starfish - Our Language Core (056) Liquid Consonants (LMNR) (02)
[Music] hi missus aerocell program is Vasquez starfish our language core this is my 56 episode remember if I am going too fast type the name in the YouTube and you can find the past 55 episodes today I'm going to continue our the water consonant which I started last week which I didn't get to last week I only get to the sources just like the old peak ow and cue letters I told you that every single alphabet is in its place for a reason and how they lined up is also like a thematically they lined up because they are connected to certain things so this l MN are all water related and ow is standing in between you know sometimes it can relate to the to the head to the sauce and also the S is also because of its form it's like the curving light of a river it also related to the sauce which is the fountain and also it's related to the river so at the beginning when words formed you know from the stage of pictograph people are were actually very naive so being able to read the oracle bones you know from ancient China I am trying to compare ancient Sumerian with all the other ancient Egyptian hieroglyph and I hope you can see some senses in it I have been doing it for more than 20 years now and then it isn't from an Asian perspective you know from a female point of view through all this research you know I can actually see how gradually you know the Met retro society was taken over by the patriarchal society okay let me stop now you know about the importance of water it's like the color of my background today it's all blue including my shirt so I'm talking about water so of course this water you know has also to do with fertility and also to do with the water of the sperm and water of the female that give birth to babies so in a way you know other than talking about the river the flow you have to also understand that it has the symbol of fertility in ancient time as well okay so I will begin today's slide okay as I said you know this is I hope sorry I will show you the picture of the basket starfish to show you you know what I mean that we all share one common core of the language from ancient time so none of us are separate family trees and because the path traits are started this also separate you know us into different trees because they pay too much attention to the grammar I am pointing to you all the coal some words that we share since ancient time so I hope that you know we will start looking at human language in a different way because every single brand one of us is just a branch of the same family so we are not separate entities okay because the patrick way of looking at that you know it ashes in human hierarchy so i think it needs to be changed okay so again this liquid consonant and the scholars when they talk about it quit consonant l and r they were talking about about this two alphabets from a very different point of view but i am really telling you that the reason why you know historically it was called you know by the ancient scholars liquid consonant you know in during the roman time it's because they did understand it that's something to do with water but as time went by that sense has lost you know so the modern scholar actually understood this liquids consonant in a different way and they found their so-called scientific way of explaining it but my challenge is that you know if you exclude the chinese language you know as a separate family how are you going to give a conclusion without the whole picture so the main linguistic theory is now a mainly based on the Western researchers so I hope you will find some senses I will begin to tell you how this few letters are connected with water okay so this l m n and our in the weights esposo in a way but l m n is mainly what I'm telling you today because in ancient time I can actually compare you know all the earliest pictograph with you to show you all those lines which forms these letters in the in the Latin alphabet okay so as I said you know this l m n and r is more and s-two kind of water related and all the other i have already explained you know in last week and also a couple of weeks ago you know when i was talking about this the sauce to pour and i already explained this few other alphabets okay so I need you to have the fluidity in understanding the human concept and sound because you know human has a very very amazing ability in changing concepts between different objects okay and and even this word fluid as you can see why is there's an L and because you know what this L has to be put there since ancient time because it is closely related to water okay and okay last week this is my this was my last light I want to put another exaggeration on it so what are we going to trust to trust our eyes or to trust our ears okay since Chinese language we do not have alphabetic system so we are not bound by the alphabets in reading so most of the time we use our eyes and use our memory half memory to remember sound okay so you can see that I what I show you that you know it will be very different from the Western linguist saying how sounds change from one to another look at this you know I give you an example ruler and suffering the in important thing is there are okay both of the this come from also related to the raw and raw and royal and regal okay and and of course you know in the somatic system you will say Ross or rash forget the head and then this is the Chinese we use warm or one and even if you look at that you know in according to your Western Theory you know this to you are difficult to be linked together but I will tell you that in reality in the real world bra and why it can be very very easily interchange in real speech okay so but I want you to pay attention to this kind of like a fountain right there like the thought you know this things flowing out this is how the ancients comes up off our leader achieve this it's like a sauce like the head okay that's why our is also closely related to all the words about the head okay so this is the Chinese dictionary you can look it up I gave you the link right here this is Hong Kong Chinese universities Chinese Cantonese dictionary once again my research is based on the Cantonese sound which is a very very ancient dialect so you will see that there interestingly the raw and the wah also change to this wah and then far it seems impossible but the F is actually very very easily change you know from this book hua and the and the W okay and then you will also see this war and then Wow and then Wow okay you will see that you know according to the Western linguistic theory these things are not related at all but if you travel around the eastern part of China you will hear this sounds consistently interchange between each other so everything is possible you know it's not as rigid as you were taught that everything changed in a linear way everything moves around in a psychic away okay so I have draw a rough map in map about the natural sound shifting according to what I know so you will see that easily you know sometimes what you think our bowels can actually change back into consonant so these change are actually across borders so they are not strictly bow nor they are not strictly consonant so these changes are like that but this is very complicated but I wanted to show you what I have just showed you because Chinese do not have our sound so we do have the W sound so that's why we ended up you know the Hat the chip as Wang instead of bra okay so what you have just seen is just this shift between you know back and forth within the Chinese dialects and also over within the W with the all sound which is about what what the Western scholars say is the bow so these changes are all possible today what you I will be showing you will be within this tiny little limit right there the L m and because m and n between the nasal sound they can be interchanged and also more than that you know because the ancient pictographs actually find them together you will see later the MN and actually looks very similar and LA and LA also are interchangeable easily as I said the Chinese do not have this ow so either we jump to the W or we jump to the L so you will understand why certain things ended up sound that in a different way okay so here we go I want you to because I pulled information from the west from the east so you can compare them in a very fair ground so I'm not just giving you a perspective from the from the east I also present you perspective from the West but through my lenses okay not European you know lens okay I first of all I want to talk a little bit about why the alamin is adamant okay the lab right there you will see that you know according to the Bible the Genesis you know when the beginning of the creation you will see that a very strange thing happens there before anything is made there's actually water one of the very first element the quick-set and you know so you will see water everywhere and God said Let there be about between waters to separate water from water so everywhere there was already water so this is before creation so that means that water is a young creation somehow okay so I mean if you use logical soft you know to think about it so this water in in Hebrew will be my aim okay so definitely with the M sound and then and then the Greek will have edo edo actually it's written like this in small alphabet but the big one is actually look like a why it's just like two flows of water joining to one which is very similar to what I have shown you about a threat but if you go to reality ultra battery also run into a big river so this is how human concept become okay so but then I wanted to show you when the Greek becomes very scientific they begin to talk about the four different element this is the work they talk about the matter okay le le is actually you see this is an L sound right there even though you know the L is not the L you recognize but for greet before the Greek this is also like a tributary right there and you will begin to see a lot of this LM and keep reappearing in any word about water and liquid okay as you see liquid okay so this original matter you know existed long long time ago just exactly like the Chinese writing right there and this is the eldest is the Chinese writing as I showed you a couple of weeks ago when the world was in chaos you know this is what we said the one dominant okay this is the Sun one as I compare to the English someone one actually means a combination of at least two up to okay you will see all the symbol of duality already there but the most important thing there is also you see the sign of water so it shows to you the east and the west both understood at the beginning of creation there was water everywhere okay before creation okay so the importance of water now you understand why the liquid and the line always carry a marker el right there because of what when you draw from the earth the ancient time you main you draw water it's always lines okay so I will show you this few letters in in Latin L our L and M okay and this is ancient Egyptian hero club you will see that a big amount of water as M that's why the mine in Hebrew when it was used to describe you know the beginning of the creation when when when they actually have to separate water from water okay and then I've come to ancient Phoenician Phoenicians actually have this we go line like that and then ancient Egyptian hieroglyph n is like this so this is a smaller volume of water just one one lines will become the end so that's why the creek also have narrow which is the water so this is mostly to become the sea the ocean and this is also the N and the L is to do with smaller amount of water as you can see so intention of omission and become nicest also a flow of the water the wiggling line and then L also like this as you can see the N and L is interchangeable even in writing but in reality L and L na and na can also easily be exchanged exchangeable okay so and also talking about sound the LA and there are also is exchangeable so other than and that they also get the out incorporated into this whole water system okay so I will now show you and he this is Hebrew now this is Phoenician this is Hebrew okay this is the Hebrew L you will see that still it is a twisting wiggling line you can look at it in water you can look at it as a twisting mine okay so I've compared it to ancient Phoenicians listen it's an end so you will see that in the human mind when you use your hand to draw it the L LA and nur can be very very close lead interchangeable and then I will show you another this become Greek this is the S curve ER and smooth ER this is the s you know in the end form of the s in Greek okay so of course you recognize it easily because it becomes a Latin s you know so that's why a lot of the water would in this whole world's language other it has to do with this whole group or it will do with the s okay so but today we pay attention to this but when I was talking about the rope and then also the river I already told you about the Turkish the Chinese they all you know were you know concentrating in the s side okay so um now I show you was to prove to you you know how they connect it to the writing this is how the ancient Greek boom right mero it is the flow of water you will see that the M line Lloyd right there and then the our sound is also there it's just the flow of water and then of course the me also you can link it to your English what milk you know this is liquid and then the Nima and in Greek is also you know a bigger volume of water that's why they have to put so many N and M right there it is bit will be like the ancient Egyptians putting one of this this line and then three of this line you know into two sets of this line so it it's the Greek way of showing you it's bigger volume of water and then as I said narrow its water even in more than Greek you know so they have the marker right there to show that it is the water and then now it's also the Greek word also for flow they have different ways of flowing you will see that the engines are very specific so they have different way up to to describe the word flow so you will see that it's mirror or now either the end and the M they are all related with water of course you know from the now you have the English word navigate you know so dips become also to do with water and then if you look at Turkish now he is now he is what a river and then in Arabic you know if I transform it into it Latin alphabet na is also out of water why is it the end and the hour is also at the beginning at the end they were all markers either in sound or in in forms okay so I look I come to this side to the L do you see this limni it actually means a pool a whole body of water that's why you see the L you'll see the M you'll see the end it's like the Greek keep join this line you know in their head you know to show you a body of water of course you know the Chinese have this a similar sound loud and Leo and you will see that it's water flowing of course we shared it between you know real water and we share it between you know the first also you know the female baby coming down so you will see that we are sharing two concepts in the same word but you will see very clearly the water marker right there but pay attention to the sound is also l la la la audio okay the law in in French and lik in English this the else at work okay there Roy in Greek you will see that you know so the L and our interchange you know it becomes the flow you will see that you see their Greek they the end is the flow the MM is the flow that R is also the flow okay so of course it changed the Spanish Rio and become the English River so that's why you have all these words you know appearing as a marker as an acronym in a lot of even English word so English words are not that not that new as you would think okay so um as you will see if I compare this just sound ignore your eye okay now love Leo video Rio can you see here the similarity all these we're talking about the flow of water okay liquid okay so of course again you know I I stress again you know other other culture will stress will use the sound so you know to express either milk or the water okay so still it is liquid okay so um I go to the ancient Greek mythology you will know that you know what the ancient Greek cordoning okay it's the water you know some of the genus of the color of water they are all living in the water look at over there marker the nymph this system the nymph of the sea this is the name of the nymph of the river so you will see that they also use this marker so I can tell you that in a way they are kind of pictorial form you know in the ancient time - so um once again this is the marker they use this marker we use this marker this is how the east and west begin to divide because you know the alphabet has a link to the Sun but the Chinese used V so more and when we use this we use our eye sometimes our Sun begin to bear it or other sound so that's why it gives you an impression that we do not share the same sound but actually a lot of the core words are very very similar so this is how we write the river now you will see that still that line from above and then this line flowing out this is how we we save River we're I prefer these days you know all the markers right there so okay again you will I will bring you back to ancient Sumerian this may this very important symbol very metaphysic go word that you know what out still we do not have a word to describe it just know that this is a quality that gives life of course you know the sperm gives life you know the the liquid of the female also give life okay so let's bring you back to the the same sound me me okay this is min in Chinese this is what the flow is you know the female flow the male flow and the Miss and then and in ancient Egyptian hero Clerk and then then the M is also really the river and I mean I mean the water body and then the me is actually the milk and then this is something interesting my friend are from Yemen actually sent me this you know and she told me that this is how the inch there the Arab people talked about the sexual discharge the liquid it's called money or mathy this words you know if I'm not a real Arab I wouldn't know it exactly you know you have to be very very verbal in the very in that language before you know this the scholars will never never really put this word into dictionaries like that and it actually remind me at very strange Chinese word in the Cantonese what when we talk about this sexual discharge we actually say late okay this is an L sound and of course you will never find this lay in any text Chinese dictionary they just transcribed verbally from generation to generation in colloquial way okay in Cantonese - I don't know whether not in China still preserve it but I can only tell you that in Cantonese it's lay okay with the L sound okay so mero in greek it's the flow and then men in ancient uh I mean in Hebrew is out off from something falling down from and something think they're interesting is the word manner you will find it in the Bible until now no one knows what exactly it is they just know that it's something falling from the sky that the Israeli survived on for forty years in the desert but no matter what it is something falling down from the sky which still followed the tradition using the M as the sound okay so and once again you know we use this as loud only oh okay and then things flowing down and then when it comes to you know something ritual we have this set of wood and and we have the distant Terminator we call its either let light or lead or need okay you will see that you know it you can understood that this water coming down you can look like that it is words coming down you can look at it it's light coming down definitely it is a flow okay and you if you come here to this light or her lock that Hebrew word for for their law there to follow so you will see that the core what is right there but if you look it up the lock right there the second pot lock actually means a power it somehow means are flowing in actually it seems that the Chinese word is actually patrolling it out okay so that explains to you why liquid late which is milk and light law which is lay in Spanish okay and then the length and lineage all of this was in different area all started with L it because the concept is shared so strongly since ancient time okay so once again I will show you this quickly and yeah this is Egyptian hieroglyph 2m in the end this is to do with the sources there are they at the mouth and all this is rather there's Sun God you can look at their Sun you can look it as the function head and then ma this is the pupil of the eye look at how they combine them to make words this is Remy they said is ripping this ow you know Plus this this is mouth this as I okay both meaning and then this is means to do with first and then it become a little bit abstract if this word means human being but I let you compare to a Chinese word this is more in Chinese exactly this is mom and in Egyptian hero blood look at this month this exactly like this right there and we have the same sound month what's the meaning it means the human the man and I can bring you the German workmen as well of the men okay this is the people human and then we have a similar word you can also compare this word to this word for us it means the human the men the mass the multitude so this is very interesting and I'll show you a passage from the Bible it from John 1.40 okay in him was life and that life was the light of men this is talking about Jesus Christ okay but you can also have this image in your head but look at this this is exactly what it just you know so are the ancient Egyptian pharaoh akhenaten actually have it thrown out right there this is like you know human being you know giving them a lot of life a lot of descendants so are these people not communicating how on earth that writing in other Chinese and the hero clip can be so so so so similar okay so once again I have prepared a little bit too much and but I think I will stop here to let you digest please type the program name again and you can watch it again you will see how closely related the writings are you can see also here the sound the LM and and I hope you can get my point okay thank you thank you for watching have a nice week and

The Halo Infinite BTB Refresh Was Needed
what's up everybody it's your boy Mars man here and we just got hit with the btb refresh and it sort of slaps I've been slamming the table for 2 years now hoping that btb Maps will be added to the game and it seems like 3 for3 has finally listened and they actually deliver and the recent cu29 live stream 303 had teased the btb refresh which seemed great but I was pretty skeptical since they have been very inconsistent with his drops of new maps especially with their transition away from seasonal drops however with the shadow drop of not just three but five btb Maps it sort of feels like Christmas all over again do these Maps give btb a much need support and needed which maps are the best and worst of the bunch let's get hyped to get to see some snow-based maps get lost in Thunderhead and jump right into this but before we do if you like these quick news update videos make sure you hit that Thumbs Up And subscribe to support the channel now back to the video so according to 3 for three's blog post we had gotten earlier today we are getting five new maps fortitude insolence obituary refuge and Thunderhead each pretty much unique and all developed in Forge oh my God Mars man Forge Maps again I mean I'm not going to lie I agree that 3 for3 needs to actually make more maps themselves but these Forge Maps look super legit we are basically doubling the number of maps in btb in One Singular update which is extremely great and much needed I was able to play all five maps and I feel like they do create a solid variety and each comes with its own positives and negatives let's start with fortitude fortitude is a relatively small map that gives off a Sandy aesthetic similar to level the arc from Halo 3 both sides have a symmetrical start with an air vehicle like a wasp and a collection of ghosts and War Hogs essential point is where all hell breaks loose with many power weapon locations spread throughout the map which is definitely awesome but probably the best aspect of the map has to be its entire underground section so many ways to navigate around the map makes it feel way bigger than it actually is being played on the ring definitely makes me wish we had more more of this in the campaign but is a great addition nonetheless the only problem I would see with this map is if you play on CTF or total control the games could be extended mainly because it's just so close quarters that it could be kind of Hell happening all around you but honestly I do love this more than breaker then we have insulin a very medium based map with similar feel to high power in size and movability symmetrical starts with many power weapons layer throughout the entirety of the map but this map gives so much power vehicles that it really makes it feel like an allout War The Wraith is the most pivotal vehicle here which can change the game but the aesthetic of the map is probably the one of the best of the new inclusions here it's a forigner base that has a feeling of a battle had already taken place in this location destroy Scarab is such a throwback to the classic Halo days but similar to fortitude there are several layers to the map there are some sections dug into the ground that gives off some really cool scenes with Foreigner Forge pieces and lighting that just looks great the overall map layout can have some issues since it does relatively have a lots of hills and mountains to climb so for vehicles it could be a very large disadvantage I understand why Fortress did this meaning to limit how powerful these vehicles can be in a game mode but at the same time it does take a page out of three for three era maps of not really giving players a wide openen space to battle for control one of the best looking Maps has to be obituary guys we finally did it we actually have a snow-based map and it only took us 2 years to finally get to this point obituary is sort of a perfect storm of how you want BTV maps to be organized many ways to Traverse the map with teleporters and bases to provide cover but the best part has to be the open areas to combat with vehicles you have two wraiths many ghosts and plenty of power weapons which makes it pure Mayhem we have a bridge that connects two sides of the map but it's probably the most diverse meanss of traversal other than Thunderhead the best aspect has to be the look obviously I'm happy we finally get snow but even looking up into the sky there's straight up an entire northern light show that we get legit looks fantastic not much negatives with this map I think with the overall experience I've had so far the only issues I can see are maybe the lack of power weapons in certain scenarios but overall it just feels fantastic to play on I know it's Tuesday but we also get throwback Thursday moment with Refuge this is a recreation of headlong or guillotin from Halo 5 honestly one of my favorite alltime btb maps in all of Halo but what's really cool about this map is the theme behind it it's almost like what happens if you left headlong alone and the City becomes desolate it gets overrun with Greenery seeming like a ghost town it's just so damn good what can I say the recreation hits all the right points with several Power weapon drops just like we had before with a central air vehicle to fight for as the main point of kind of focus even with one flag gtf which was only in Zanzibar remake at this point it doesn't seem bad at all it actually fits so much better in this map compared to others I don't feel like slaming my head against the wall and it actually feels possible to capture flag unlike other variants we've had had in this mode Slayer plays the best in this map and there's so many ways to navigate the field and what's crazy is that with 12 V12 is absolutely Mayhem the only issue I can see is that if you play game modes like total control it may become a drag since the map is pretty small it may essentially just turn into Slayer rather than actually playing the objective and the last map is Thunderhead which is by far the largest map on the list equaling the level of Oasis in overall size I absolutely love the way this map is organized and it basically opens up the level for vehicle combat we have air vehicles wraiths warthogs ghosts this is what we want in a btb game mode but the look of the map is the best in all honesty we get several ring monuments and the mountain sides give off a hemorhage feel when playing it but even with the map being so big it honestly has so many layers that open up the ways to navigate and just explore flag doesn't feel like it's impossible to win either which is always a fear when playing in these huge types of maps more often than not flag grabs actually occur pretty frequently and it moves the game along pretty fast so it doesn't feel like it's just dragging along what I really like about this map is that it expands the verticality more than any map we had to this point so the only issue I could see is if you get a mint Blitz level of sweaty player you could have some major problems with stopping snipers or BRS from destroying you across the map but honestly it's my favorite map mainly because it looks fantastic and the organization of it gives me classic vibes from the older bunge games I got to say this is a very pleasant surprise from 3 for three I know I was ragging on them for their lack of help for B Team Battle but this was much needed adding in five solid maps to a weaker playlist gives this mod so much more life and I can already tell this will help the playist in the long run when gaining a larger population to come back in the game 3 for three still sucks with their communication but I'm glad to see they actually stayed true to the word and not only gave the playlist A much needed refresh but even improveed the playlist tenfold by doubling the map variability compared to before solid job 3 for three just keep this up into Squad battle and the other playlists but what do you think about the btb refresh are there any Maps you would consider your favorite so far let me know what you think in the comments below if you like this type of content hit a thumbs up and subscribe to support the channel until next time this is Mars man signing off peace out [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] guys oh

My interview with Andrei Polgar: the author of The Age of Anomaly.
hello and welcome to the session today this is Professor horn hat in the day session I'm gonna be meeting with Andre Paul guard andre Pagar is the founder of one minute economics which is a channel similar to mine but it deals with economics I strongly encourage you to go ahead and view it but the main topic today is his new book the age of anomaly Andre is the author of this book and in this session he's gonna tell us a little bit more about this channel so if you're an econ students you can check it out and also but what the most important thing is he's gonna tell us about his textbook he looked a bit about his background so Andre with all with no time wasting please go ahead and get started perfect first of all thanks a lot for having me on and some of you might have come across a few of my economics videos over at one minute economics and I've been doing it since 2015 although 2015 has been mostly on and off so 2016 has been the year where I started genuinely taking this the channel seriously it basically just started out as me fooling around and wanting to make an anime shirt an animation or two and I started with inflation deflation supply and demand just the basics and I said that maybe I'm gonna publish one of these animations let's say once every once every couple of months and I'm gonna see what happened well what happened is that people like them and they encouraged me to make more and I did that I moved on to stuff like how our banking system works because a lot of people want to know but few understood it properly and I said okay let me try to teach fractional reserve banking and then I said okay well let me try to teach people about the infamous derivatives that everyone talks about when referring to the previous financial crisis let me try to explain those and I've managed to I've managed to do that as well and basically I realized that I was reasonably good at making complicated stuff easy to understand and yes only bad on the one hand I have lots of students who get in touch with me and say look I appreciate what you're doing I finally understood things that I thought I was never gonna get so in the one hand there's the academic direction or if you will - part of my audience that consists of students people who you know or have a bachelor's in economics people who have MBAs or in and whatever but on the other hand I also have regular people people who aren't necessarily interested in economics were passionate about economics and my message to them has always been look no matter how hard you try you cannot escape it cannot the idea of making economic decisions and even not by not making an economic decision you're actually deciding not to do anything yes there are gonna be consequences and at the same time though I understand that people have lives and families and whatnot so I tell them look you can spend 10 hours binge watching stuff on Netflix and that's fine but give me one minute of your time and in that minute I promise I'm gonna teach you everything I know really about economics and this is this is my main driving force behind the book I'm releasing this week yes which is called the age of anomaly yes spotting financial crisis and see of uncertainty thank you it's a huge book it's like 400 plus pages but those of you who have read my first book or those of you who follow me on youtube are gonna know that my god I write in a very conversational way yes arrogant economics professor talking to you from his ivory tower instead you're gonna think of me as just having a good friend teach you stuff a friend who happens to be good at economics and money related stuff and I agree I tell people about my book dad you know I'm not the type of person who panics I'm not you know your average dooming bloomer who thinks that the world's gonna end any minute no and that's actually the main driving force because I I assert that when someone like myself becomes genuinely worried it might be a good idea to at least pay attention to the things I'm saying and through the age of anomaly I take things in a logical manner and I tell people look I'm worried about what's coming expand in the book and we're gonna chat about this a little bit about what's coming and in the end I have two goals with the age of anomaly one by guy through history by drawing conclusions and you know finding common denominators I tried to help people increase the likelihood that they're gonna spot the next financial crash early on but - I also tell them they need to have the humility it takes to understand that even someone like myself who thinks about these things 24/7 pretty much even someone like myself might be taken by surprise by whichever Black Swan event for example would cause deflationary shock or something like that and therefore my second goal is telling people look you might not be able to predict quote-unquote anything so it makes sense to Jen to dedicate just as much time and energy toward becoming more financially resilient in general and these are basically two things I focus on because make no mistake we are now having a comfortable conversation we're living in times of relative prosperity and when for better or worse systems are working but I am worried about at least one major scenario in which you know one major scenario that we can consider generation-defining it's nothing it's not I'm not worried and I actually would like to expand on it and I'm not worried about yes I could you just I like your dot-com comparison in the book how you how you go from the dot-com to the subprime market crash could you walk us through this and tell us how it happens I read the book it's interesting but if you just in your own words tell us what happened to interest rate in how the effect of the dot-com planted the seeds for the subprime and what do you think is gonna happen next I can use it explain to people that I'm not worried about a market crash like unlike many of my peers like actually I'm a pretty hands-on guy like I don't just you know talk about assets I create them as well so it I'm not even trade I even occasionally create cryptocurrencies on leverage so if there's anyone on this planet who isn't spooked by volatility it's myself but even someone you know who for someone like me this is what I what I want I'm not worried about the market crashing I'm not worried about you know a 60% crash or whatever no I'm worried about a change of narrative and let us please indeed take one step back remember the calm yes please the market crashed people were panicking but the narrative was this don't worry central banks and governments are here to save the day yes in fact they have taken decisive action they have lowered interest rates from 6.5 percent all the way to 1 percent which may not seem like much today yes and the narrative prevailed ultimately quote-unquote the day was saved but this came as a product at a price because that easy access to cheap money facilitated the inflation of an even bigger bubble the real estate and as we all know in oh seven 2:08 it collapsed as well and this time once again the narrative was pretty much the same yeah we have a market crash everyone's panicking but don't worry central banks and governments have it all under control except that the market demanded an even bigger dose of stimulus yes now fortunately from the 1% they were lowered to rates have gone up in the meantime the 5.25 percent so not all the way to 6.5 percent but still something decent you could have worked with but still it was not enough to lower them to 1% again they had in the u.s. to be lowered all the way to zero and in the European Union and Japan they even went negative and negative exactly even that was not enough money had to be pumped directly into the system to the tune of 85 billion per month in the US for tea and mortgage-backed securities and 45 in Treasuries in the European Union the ECB at the height of its QE pumped even more if you transform it in dollars and in the end just please think about this in the u.s. from 1913 one year 3rd central bank the Federal Reserve appeared from 1913 up until the Great Recession so when approximately 100 the monetary base had grown the 800 or so to 850 billion dollars or so 85 billion x 12 means that at the height of QE they have pumped 1 trillion per year into this gas so more in one year than had existed from 1913 up until the Great Recession in almost 100 years and this is what people need to understand of course where the business cycle does not secure me of course we're gonna have another recessions of course you know there's gonna be another crash and once again most likely the same narrative is going to be pushed yeah don't worry I know you're panicking but hey we're the government here central bank yes we have it except one not even in the United States you know we are now only once has it happened that more time passed between recessions yes it's a decade going it's gonna be a record so cyclically speaking if you if you want to phrase it that way we're kind of do or overdo a recession yes and when the problem is that in so many years interest rates haven't gone up dramatically in the u.s. let's not even talk about the European Union and Japan where things are even worse so at least when it comes to the Great Recession interest rates have gone up again to 5.25 percent this time the growth rates the recovery rate of interest rates has been anemic it has been ridiculously anemic yes so that's one then there's two of course much like a drug addicts do you hate me then yeah the economy once it has been hooked on you cannot economic okay and if you want to call it at once it has been hooked on this it's going to demand an ever-increasing dose and of course they're gonna get but they're gonna say maybe in the US for example hey we're gonna lower interest rates to negative one percent and we will pump three point five trillion into the system per year this time if the market says sure never we might be good to go for another business cycle but things are so ridiculous and this is not a prediction like if you're under 10 story of a building and someone the guy you're what tells you that he wants to jump you're gonna tell him don't jump you're gonna die you're not making a prediction you're stating reality yes yeah and and the same principle is valid in the our case the fact remains that sooner rather than later the market is going to say no and this no not the crisis before it that no is what bothering me if it doesn't know is what keeps me up at night because the knowing question basically means that the market will say we no longer have confidence in the ability of governments and central banks to manage things and unfortunately people don't realize just how thin the threat is that holds or otherwise well function existence together and that thread is mostly confidence yes that is lost all bets are off the banking system one event could be triggered that who knows what event is in the trade Ward is likely who knows what the event would be one financial institution like just like what happened with the subprime market yeah very bad just they went down and they brought everybody else with them exactly exactly and this confidence means that most people don't realize that there's no such thing or at least this is true for the Euro whelming majority of banks there's no such thing as a bank that could withstand it if three out of ten people want their money back yes as where are the fractional reserves exactly this the same way the same way the monetary system is confidence back as well and once that confidence is lost of course of course institutions like the IMF have contingency plans like the IMF says don't worry about it if people lose confidence in the dollar in the euro and the yen we're just gonna have a new reserve currency for the world is gonna be our SD ours and we're just gonna use that but it's just it's so foolish to assume yes in a climate where things are serious enough to generate a loss of confidence on such a large scale we can predict what's gonna happen would you say that basically the Federal Reserve they've used all the bullets there are a bullets at this point if something happened but would you characterize at this file I'm not sure if they're completely out of bullets but they're pretty darn close to it yes okay and that's alarming that's very alarming is alarming certainly alarming enough for me to say look I'm gonna just put my professional life on hold for a while and be all over YouTube I'm on your channel and everywhere promoting the book also worth noting I I don't particularly care about the money like for example if people buy this book if they buy it until they buy it until Sunday it's gonna cost 99 cents and it's 99 cents for a hot 400 Plus page book you know yes I'm not exactly gonna laugh all the way to the bank after this promotion yeah and the same way I have an email address set up which is called friends at age of anomaly com where you know maybe people are gonna see some people are gonna see this video when the price has gone up again maybe they live in a country that doesn't do business with Amazon and the places where you know if anyone cannot afford the book or if anyone is not able to buy it because they live in a country that's not supported by these stores just shoot me an email and you can put it maybe in the description Andre oh sorry friends at age of UNAM for free you know like I'm I'm generally making this my top priority you know when you see a lot of cash of not a passion yes absolutely if someone even if you cannot afford one dollar or whatever it is if someone wants to read my book I promise I'm gonna get the book and this this is kind of like the war that those of us like you and I who are in the education space or fighting it's a war for people's minds it's a world so war for people's attention because you know how difficult it is to get someone to pay attention to education related stuff you know if we look at the disproportion of media consumption habits of people on Netflix and everywhere and how unwilling they are to that to allocate even a small portion of that time to educating themselves the gaining knowledge it's not even funny and a lot of these people a lot of these people are barely getting by they're living paycheck to paycheck now when for better or worse especially in the developed world countries the United States Germany and so on for better or worse at least systems are kind of sort of functioning you know and let's not even start to think about what would happen if these people who are barely getting by as it is have to deal with something similar to what I envision in males and the stakes are very very very high absolutely absolutely absolutely so at this one what keeps you up at night the most would you say if you want to characterize it that way concerns my main concern is not so much you know my main concern has to do with the perspective of the average person because as I mentioned in my book throughout history throughout history the average person tends to be on the losing end well yes when confidence in the system is lost there will be a huge transfer of wealth and that's precisely the average person that tends to be on the losing end of this transfer of wealth and that is what keeps me up at night and that is what made me like I have I think I've shot about 100 collaborations and anticipation of this book I'm gonna be all over YouTube I worked you know pretty close to 24/7 to kind of spread the word about my work as much as possible and maybe I did it for a selfish reason at the end of the day I did it because I don't want to feel guilty I want to say crisis it as educators sometimes we feel that way yes absolutely yeah you know this feeling of guilt ultimately yes yes would you like to add anything would you like to share anything would be with my subscribers with my viewers with the world what I want to tell people is this it's the only thing I'm asking like if you pick up the age of anomaly great if you subscribe to my youtube channel I would be happy to have you on but even if you don't want to do that at least don't close this browser window and move on with your life I consider it a huge huge win if you guys just take few minutes to meaningfully think about the things we've discussed do your own research draw your own conclusions but at least think about these things because there's no escaping them and when the inevitable occurs because again you know as you've seen I'm nothing I'm not in the business of making predictions as far as this campaign that I'm on is concerned as far as me spreading awareness about my work is concerning I am here to state the obvious and this this is what people need to understand yes we are on an unbelievably unbelievably unsustainable path and when it all comes crashing down and again history is our guide yes it's going and you did a good job historically outlining that process you showed again and again at the beginning of the book historically crashes do happen and you had multiple multiple effects of that exactly and can I tell you exactly when and how things are going to unfold no I cannot but what I can tell you and this should be I think the conclusion of our show what I can tell you is that I would much rather start preparing a year too early than a week too late I say absolutely absolutely thank you Andre from this is for hat accounting lectures once again one minute economics you can check it out as an accounting students thank you very much and good luck thank you guys for watching us take care mommy

REPLACE FORD KEY NO PROGRAMMING NEEDED CHIP WORKAROUND bypass
I'm sitting here in my 2004 expedition XLT model and this video is in regards to keys this key right here I went to Lowe's and they said that they would they make these keys for fourth but it would only be it would cost me about 60 bucks to get it done so I thought about it and I said since this key have a transport funder in it maybe I can uh place the key next to the to the key shaft to the ignition and maybe it would work so I tried it and I just jammed my key right next to the ignition and so I sit let me see can I try it start it try and start it so I took my key being made which doesn't have a a color chip in it and I bought it from from my part store Ace Hardware for $3 and they had a cheaper one it just was a metal didn't had a plastic cover on it but I think it still will work and so I placed my key that I had made and it turns everything comes on and it starts up and it goes in Reverse it works so what I'm gonna do on my modified is imma mounting my key somewhere close around the ignition key ignition hold and just buy me an extra key for three dollars and solve that sixty to a hundred dollar problem that I have plastic cover off and go back behind here and drill a couple of holes right in this area so that key was hanging right in there so when I turn the ignition it will pick up the the sensor and it would start okay I just drilled two holes to push my zip tie through two holes there one is gonna go from inside come out and go back in and then I'm a zip tie my key right in this area right here like behind it and now I'm about to zip tie my main key key with the chip inside and push it inside of this this area and have the back of the key facing the ignition and we're gonna see if they're gonna work okay okay there's a zip tie and the key right behind the transponder I'm gonna put this covering back place I'm just gonna cut the zip tie right here we go not too bad I made a mistake and drill the extra hole too low but I did have it right in this area right here so let's try it again [Music] thanks for watching

paper and I'm going to be handing them around for you to look at rather than having them up nicely on the screen so if you will just come so you can uh see the illustrations as close as um we can I'm inviting people forward because the illustrations are on paper I'm going to be handling handing them around yeah after all those nibs you need some water you want me to stay in front of the cameraing of you no no I'll run the illustrations for you thank you okay the title of this panel is the clothing of the times and clothing is what we are talking about rather than fashion how people covered a human body a human body that basically consists of a torso with a head two arms and two legs no tails we're not we tails and we are starting with a painting that is entitled a boore asleep a boore at this time is a countryman a peasant a farmer and if you look at him you see him in the very basic clothing of the period which has no element of fashion whatsoever he is wearing official a a loose shirt a pair of narrow legged work pants that that seem to be sort of undone as he relaxes uh yeah well think they were doable uh this is part of the look at the clothing not on the design on the situation and uh soft leather shoes okay why isn't he wearing the full pants that were fashion able at the time it's because they were dangerous when you were working with animals and Machinery uh just as this would never work when I'm dealing with power tools when I am working on making Miniatures this gets fastened up there the last place I wanted ending up as a new motor motor tool do you have any idea how it hurts if you get your pinktail C in a moto to it uh same is true of this those full pants that were man's fashion at the time did not percolate down to the work clothes of the average person the re the color on that is also reasonably good the shirt is unbleached it was expensive bleach fabric until it was white it took days and days out in the Summer sun soaking it in buttermilk spreading it on the grass natural color for linen was much cheaper similarly the pants are a kind of orangy to mustard color orangey to mustard to olive green were the the cheapest dyes available at the time and therefore cheap fabric uh tended to get done in cheap dies we'll come to W as we get to the blues he does have a nice red hat I know yes he does have a nice red hat which is probably more expensive than anything and I'm handing around now uh several more illustrations of men many of them portrayed in taverns because the painters tended to portray uh lower class men as they met in taverns they held still longer uh well no it was a how they could sell the paintings uh and I wanted uh color on this as much as I could uh get it uh your commonest illustrations of ordinary people at this time are drawings uh charcoal drawings pen and ink drawings pencil drawings uh but they they don't give an idea of culture color now as this clothing goes around all of them have a common element of the important that the not get you into danger and the uh basic dublet the dublet will be coming up as the phenomenon the dublet for men's clothing came basically in two forms with sleeves and without sleeves that's it central fromont closing in 2007 my daughter-in-law and I took off for Europe and one of the places we visited was the texal museum in fmar it's a lovely Museum we spent two days in the texal museum in colar part of the illustration they had up was a men's sleeveless dublet from the 17th century and a quilt it was a quilted D for warmth in Winter and and a contemporary Pierre cardan ski jacket ski vest there was essentially no difference in the style they both had the narrow collar they both had the sleeveless they had the front closing and they were both padded the only difference was that the padding in the cardan was um artificial whereas the padding in that would have been natural fiber but essentially one could have been interchanged with the other and nobody would blink it was an item of clothing to a certain extent it could be made into an item of fashion but only by ornamentation the V that a the dublet the sleeveless dublet or the vest that a wealthy man wore would have been of a better fabric a brighter dye probably embroidered fancier buttons but that was really all you could do it with it you could ornament it you could trim it but you didn't change the basic cut of what was there and this is you ubiquitous you dig them up out of sewers in Elizabeth and London uh they're all they were all over the place they were simply an item of clothing a basic item of clothing now Eric has put into cannon that most people couldn't have afford to have more than one set of clothes this is canon in the 1632 series but alas it is wrong not the first time or the only time no not the or the only time people had many fewer clothes than we do today and they had Ordinary People less frequently brand new clones than we do today the 17 century had a very Lively trade in secondhand clothing the towns The Villages were full of the equivalent of Goodwill thrift shops consignment shops the people who could afford to buy their clothes new wore them until they started to get shed that is when you hear for the early modern period the statement people wore their clothes until they were Rags we should modify that clothes were worn by someone until they were sold as Rags but they might very well go through three four or five increasingly poor owners before they got to the point of being pitched into somebody's rag poot take for instance contracts for the clothing of apprentices almost every contract for the clothing of an apprentice required that the master should furnish the boy with one full set of new clothing per year did he wear this to work no what he wore to work was hand me down clothes from one of the older apprentices that had been a new suit four or five apprentices ago for the simple reason that boys who are apprenticed at 12 by the time they finish their apprenticeship at 17 or 18 are a very different size and every Master with a workshop had a trunk full of outgrown clothes and for Dirty Jobs messy jobs jobs that were likely to end up in rips tears and mending what the guy kid was dressed in was somebody else's outgrown clothes where he had his required new set of clothes available for wearing to church to the kermas to when he was being shown off by the master and the mistress so my next set here is of peasants who are having parties peasants who are dressed up one way or the other the first one is a street party out in the countryside that one happens to be English that's illustrations of a party in front of the Swan Tavern uh in London this next one actually both of them one of them is detail and one of them is the larger one are illustrations from a painting of a barn dance you think that American Pioneers invented Barn dances no let think again uh this is a barn dance somebody asked me how did people socialize at the time basically they had parties and if you want to know how many parties they had and how many Lively the parties got all you really have to do is read the outraged sermons of the more upright pastors who were railing against what had gone on at the local barn dance the weekend before and the sermon was being issue so this basically is rural en clo from the work

Decision Made on the IRCC Online Tool - what does it mean?
hi everybody and welcome to our channel today i'm going to make a video about what it means when you see on the online tool on the ircc website the wording decision made so this is a question that we get a lot in our office so basically when you have filed it could be a various various different types of immigration applications most of them you're able to go on the online tool on the ircc website put in your information with your name date of birth client id or file number and you can see some steps so you could see when you file your application when correspondence was submitted by immigration when you provided documentation it was received it's not a very elaborate tool in the sense that it's not like you can click on these titles and then get more information in our practice i've always told clients and i always also train my staff at the office too not to we we do check it at the office uh when we file application but that's not what we rely on um to get the actual information or to get uh concrete information about what's actually happening in your file the reason for that is that sometimes we might have three four back and forth with immigration about different things on an application and we get those correspondence usually by uh email uh these days whereas in the past was more mail sometimes we still get mail but it's mostly by email and when we go on the online tool that information is not there or it's not as detailed as we hope it would be so that's why we actually also tell our clients that if they retain our services um to not check what's going on online and leave that part to us just because uh in all these years that i've been practicing most of the time it confuses clients because they might see information they don't understand they might say oh correspondence has been sent and then they think oh that's a decision or that's a refusal or that's an approval but sometimes it's just for example a correspondence was sent to confirm that you paid your biometrics or a correspondence was sent for you to do a medical which was already done a long time ago but now the online tool indicated it later like a month or two later so it's not something that's really reliable i would say um so i always suggest that if you have a lawyer call your lawyer if you have a question about the processing of your file so you call our office and you you ask us because we're handling hundreds and hundreds of files we've done this for a very long time and we know how the system works and how things get updated if there's something that looks odd or it's been a longer processing time than expected then me or my team will call the call center and ask questions and even even then with respect to the call center we often advise our clients not to call themselves because you could call the call center five times and you get five different answers not because necessarily the person is not giving you the right information it's just different clerks have different levels of training and they might see or understand things differently on your file so instead of getting nervous and getting stressed looking online calling and getting odd information that you might not understand and then you tend to panic then it's much uh it's much better to just call us ask all your questions and then we can clarify everything and if we're not able to then we'll look into it further um so one of the things that often appears on the online tool is the wording decision made uh and i think if you click on it it doesn't really say much or it might give a day or something like that and a lot of clients think that oh my my application was approved or refused i'm gonna get a decision tomorrow or the next day my experience has shown me that most of the time that decision or sometimes it's not a decision it's just a correspondence unfortunately can come weeks or sometimes even months later i mean i can go on some of our files that we filed pr card renewal or hnc and i can go on the online tool and it says decision made and we filed the application maybe a year and a half ago and different things are happening or sometimes i have the approval of the agency and i go on the online two months later and it says um it doesn't say decision made uh or it doesn't say approval so it's it's really not something reliable so if you see the decision made i mean most of the time it most likely means that something is about to happen soon or we might get some correspondence but it doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to get something that same day where we're going to get something the next day it depends if it's being an email being sent out it depends if it's by mail then sometimes it could take a a few weeks um to get the correspondence so when you see the decision made if you have a lawyer i recommend you call your uh representative and um and ask what this is about i mean we're always happy to explain um what it means which is essentially it doesn't really mean anything uh and and also we also recommend you know a lot of our clients see that and they say okay well that means the decision is on the way i'm going to call the officer i'm going to send an email i'm going to send the web form to ask them to to send me a response right away and tell me what's happening and they call the call center and then the call center can't really give information and then you you start getting worried about something that first hasn't happened and second you as human beings we always expect the worst so we're always thinking that something happened it must be negative and we start ruminating and we start panicking and we think of all the different scenarios so that when we get it we're kind of psychologically prepared for it but i mean if you have a good representative a good lawyer the representative should explain to you the process from the beginning at our office we we spend a lot of time during the intake appointment during the consultation to explain how things work with immigration to explain that it might take a long time it could be short it could be long unexpected things can happen but we know how to navigate the system we put all of this in writing in our contract we put all of this in writing to you when we submit your application we also um have a lot of information on our website and a lot of instructions and tips and guidelines that we provide to you in writing so that reading it many many times you kind of understand that okay i i i'm hired an expert they know what they're doing and if i have questions i can call my representative now if you're not you don't have a representative of course what you're going to do is you're going to check the online tool and of course you're going to call the call center i mean me myself last year i filed my own spousal sponsorship after having practiced immigration for over 10 years and i didn't use a representative me and my uh husband we prepared it ourselves and we i also go on the online tool and i check what's happening because it you know now that it was my file i understand that um what i always i think i always understood where clients felt but this time around i it was really like a reality to really know when it when it's happening to you so i was also going and checking even though i was basically not taking my own advice but i would see correspondence sent and then sometimes it was accurate sometimes it wasn't um i also called the call center a few times and how did you receive my file even though i saw in my fedex that it was received and just to see if i can get something more so sometimes the the exercise so if you don't have a representative the exercise of calling and the exercise of going online just that act in itself might make you feel better and if it does it's okay to go and check and call if it's going to bring down the anxiety level anxiety level but if it's going to make you feel even worse if you have a tendency to panic if you're going to take that and extrapolate into a conclusion that's very unrealistic then i recommend to not call or not call as often or not check as often and be very patient and always go by the processing time that's online i mean more or less it's often the processing time i would say always a few months more a few times a few months less uh and if you don't think about it then uh often you get a wonderful surprise when you do when the decision um does happen um so having lived it myself personally i i can now confirm that i i truly understand my clients even more um so if you have any questions about what your online tool is saying um if if you're you know something happened in your file and um you really feel there's something wrong uh you can contact us we'd be happy to assist but in in general the point of this video was to talk to our clients but also talk to the general public whether you have a lawyer or not just to know that the online tool is not always the best tool because there you have to rely on the correspondence that you receive you have to rely on the processing time and it's not always updated in real time and when you know this uh you're not going to place all of your concentration on that and and think about the worst so hopefully this will allow you to be a little bit more positive while you're waiting for your application thank you

Open Textbook Network - Session 1
good morning I'm Camille Thomas I am the scholarly publishing librarian so I am a person on campus you can contact if you're interested in open textbooks and open educational resources and I just wanted to introduce Jasmine Roberts she's a lecturer at The Ohio State it's okay you don't have to say thee I'm not at all go ahead but writing for strategic communication industry yeah absolutely thank you good morning everyone I'm really excited to be here I'm here just to talk a little bit more about oh we are open textbooks and how possibly that you can adopt them in your own classroom if you would like to so in terms of what specifically I'm going to talk about the first part of the workshop today what's going on in higher education as it relates to affordability issues I think we're well aware that there there are very problematic issues that are going on in terms of whether or not our students can afford higher education so I'll go through that why textbooks are so expensive for our students what can we do to kind of decrease that cost talk a little bit more about the open textbook network as well as the library let's provide it through the network and then I'll talk a little bit more about those faculty reviews that we sososo need from you guys but before I begin all of that I like to know who I'm speaking to I don't like to just speak to strangers quote-unquote so if we can just do quick introductions your name Department and more importantly for me why are you here so let's start on this side of the room I know I caught you at a bad moment I'm so sorry [Laughter] Yeah right yeah absolutely thank you so much I know is that annoying yeah right yeah is it the same textbook but just a newer edition yeah right exactly right right yeah yeah yeah yeah yes life absolutely all right thank you so much let's go over here [Music] thank you so much right when we're just gonna read two short stories from I know right but also from the flip side as a working writer I like don't want I like that okay all right thank you so much that's a really good point that you made actually thank you yeah yeah that's a good point right right yeah cuz you have to do the homework individually yeah yeah yeah yeah great great great right but some way bringing that cost down towards reasonable yes sir right yeah exactly exactly yeah yeah and they will do that yeah right here yeah so that's why I'm here yeah changing and that we have to keep changing our okay that's why re that's a good reason why thank you [Laughter] yeah right right yeah so it's a little personal for you absolutely for me too and you're gonna find out why yes thank you very good all right here maybe yes okay okay gravitation training so let's do a lot of fun and we're the first African tech promised that they wouldn't charge tuition the school district said yeah I will cover all the textbooks right and then of course they realize yeah so so that so suggested to me then - then if we come up with a book that didn't cost the school district a fortune they would appreciate that Franco so that's what I'm using that money the other other thing I'm sort of curious about is I teach a lot of our graduate courses for in-service teachers absolutely pocket for for high school teachers and we have lots of classes that we teach for that and what we've tried to do in the past is she's all the dishes they can buy up there was on but sometimes and that is this semester we're wearing the curtisha's northern issue I'm using the third edition gives you jewelry and Amazon I'm sitting in the second edition right yeah and so maybe there's a better way yes there is a better way alright thank you right here and what I see students do is either at the end of semester they complain textbook or after they do horrible on my first exam then they go by the text yep yeah yeah you see the academic impact that high-cost textbooks can can have absolutely thank you right yes yes all right thank you do you want it yep but yeah absolutely and then we had one more nice okay okay yeah let's hope all right I think I think we got everyone excellent and then one last thing that I kind of want to clarify before I officially begin I want to clarify what this workshop is not so I do not work for a publishing company okay I'm not a textbook publishing representative okay so I'm not gonna try to force you guys to adopt a particular textbook on the flip side I'm not going to bash those who are in the textbook publishing industry right so if you kind of wanna have that conversation you know you can talk to me personally but this is what this workshop is for and then the last thing here I'm when I'm talking about open educational resources it might work for some people in here it might not okay my job here just to raise awareness about what is oer what is open textbooks and hopefully at some point in time that you can't adopt it all right so as you can see here that's me with my my suits my students excuse me I know I look like one of my students I'm a fairly young instructor but the reason why I'm here guys is I I truly care about my students my students they are the folks who drive me in my profession and I think the reason why I have such a passion for my students is because like was said earlier I can relate so much to their experience and I want to share a particular experience that I had at the University in Michigan where I got my undergraduate degree I was enrolled in an intro to mass media course comm 101 and I'm looking through the syllabus right and what's what's the textbook figuring out what's the price looked or went to the bookstore and I found that it was like $130 like oh okay absolutely not so I go on to Amazon and I look at the price was 116 dollars only a little bit lower and so then I go to the professor's office hours and I asked him I said is there any way you can put this textbook on course reserves and he said sure but I also noticed he this odd look like why is she asking me this question and he followed up by saying well I just want you to know Jasmine that not all professors are going to do this and I think it to myself okay not sure why you needed to say that but okay thank you and then you followed up by saying the assumption is that if you can afford to attend the University of Michigan you can afford this textbook and so I just remember leaving his office hours just feeling so belittled his tone is very very condescending and now that I'm not on the other end I want to make sure my students don't feel that way that they know that I care about their experience while I'm teaching there and also another reason why I'm here is because this is a fundamental value that I share that higher education really should be affordable and accessible to all but unfortunately it seems like some of the system's within higher education are kinda exasperated those barriers that we see outside of you know university communities particularly in marginalized communities the cost factor that we're seeing in higher education is huge that being that barrier over two and a half million people who come from low-income and middle-income backgrounds unfortunately could not complete their college education simply because they could not afford it right so we're not talking about a lack of academic you know skills or anything like that it's simply because they could not afford to attend college and I think that's extremely extremely problematic that's two hundred two and a half a million doctors two and a half million veterinarians two and half million academics that we could have reached but they dropped out because they couldn't afford college also here as you can see in this chart the u.s. funding or funding for higher education or the past couple of decades it's fluctuated quite a bit right but the past decade it's declining but we're seeing here tuition is steadily increasing right so I think that's one contributing factor to why this is such a problem in higher education here in Texas at least in the 2013-2014 academic year of the financial aid that was provided sixty percent of it was in loans and I'm sure we are well aware of some of the news stories that we hear about students not able to pay back their loans defaulting on their loans right so this is a problem obviously here in Texas as well in terms of this year this two years ago I should guess I should say over half of recent college graduates in Texas graduated with some type of debt particularly $26,000 in debt Texas Tech it's a little bit better for you guys and think it's twenty two thousand five hundred approximately right but that's still money that the students have to pay back and so now I'm thinking to myself well what what exactly are they paying for what's what's contributing to this debt okay from a nationwide perspective as we can see here in terms of credit card debt it's been pretty steady but I'm sure you guys are aware given the news media coverage that student loan debt has soared surpassed credit card debt okay how many folks in here have student loan debt yeah yeah okay not fun is it not at all oops all right so now that I kind of established the affordability issues within higher education from a macro perspective these are some of the areas that we can visit here in terms of figuring out what's contributing to this high cost so I wish I can come to my students and say hey I can give you free tuition you don't have to pay to go here okay I wish even for my sick I wish I could sing that to myself right would have to pay off my student loans but what are the following factors can we control as instructors obviously books and supplies okay um so what I would like us to do right now if you kind of can get with someone near you and discuss the following questions or answer the following questions number one how do you choose textbooks for your own courses if you even use textbooks okay secondly how can you assess whether or not students are actually reading the textbooks and then lastly do you actually provide or give any feedback or the students actually give any feedback about the textbook that you have a sign so I'll give you guys about five minutes just to kind of discuss this with someone next to you [Music] how many texts do you typically review when you are in that review process you said about 10 and I was making an hour [Music] yeah Wow yeah [Music] yeah yes yes and they they make those value judgments great right nice I don't want you guys how do you choose your textbooks for your courses yeah yeah okay really oh okay yeah great great so you do get that suit and feedback a little bit yeah right yeah yeah great great uh-huh yep I know he is in a way they kind of I kind of take it out on you a little bit like that affects their perception of you as an instructor yeah yeah right all right yeah yeah yeah it's great great yeah absolutely yes right exactly yeah yeah right great balance between the two where you're like not tied to this textbook but you're still using it in some way and if it fills your course yes right yeah yeah uh-huh yeah all right right absolutely yes yes yeah I agree I agree I'm gonna be one four-time say but I am interested in what you have to say all right let's go ahead and get back together so what did you guys discuss anyone want to share how do you select your textbooks or select textbooks for your courses what's the process like daunting right sometimes tiring no maybe that's just me yeah true right okay yeah yeah I know I know you're being sarcastic I know I know I know yeah yeah yeah yeah and you should you really shouldn't anyone else how do you select your textbooks guess yeah right yeah yeah selections and what-have-you yeah right right right yeah in terms of for I'm sorry go ahead okay right yeah yeah right based upon write the course on the book yeah yes absolutely absolutely is that is that research as the backward designs approach yep yep okay I just want to make sure yeah yeah right right right okay all right and the second question here do you guys actually know whether or not the students are reading the textbook you're shaking your head no yeah yeah yeah you right yeah and I like how you pointed out the the huge transition from going to high school where that book is either provided to you it's not initially the sign but it's provided right and you're doing your homework on worksheets and then transitioning to having to buy your textbook and doing homework online that's that's a struggle for a lot of students absolutely maybe one more yes no no no right right right right [Music] mm-hmm you don't Yeah right doing yourself a service oh wow yeah absolutely right right yeah absolutely that's crazy yeah yeah but why does that be like that whoa yeah yeah and four times like I'm gonna go ahead and move on just to the third question here do you guys actually get feedback from students about yes yes okay I wanna hear from you oh yeah yeah and what do you remember do you recall what they were saying about it the textbooks in general yeah okay okay right yeah you know absolutely right right first is $150 something yeah yeah absolutely all right great discussion this was awesome so we are all well aware that textbooks are very very high for our students they cost a lot of money for our students this photo here is of a student with her textbooks that she needed for a full academic year in total it costs $1,200 okay and I believe that's about as much as Texas Tech students should budget in or at least that's what's reported on the website textbooks are increasing a lot and they have increased substantially over the past few years four times the rate of inflation crazy okay like I just said Texas X students should budget in about $1,200 for course materials and textbooks and what-have-you but I'm wondering what could they have used that money towards instead of textbooks you know so keep that question in mind right food all right warrant so I'm at my respective university we actually ask students their opinions about high cost textbooks I'm sure you can guess what they said I think some classes like chemistry which is insane I was thrown class there I especially like the money towards my rent or towards my food or towards other supplies for those classes just so you know it does not look like that and you know hi oh right now it's not sunny it's it's snowing unfortunately we don't have great weather like here in Texas but yeah I mean just the point is students are not a fan of these high cost textbooks they are making these value judgments they are thinking to themselves I could have spent this money on food I could have spent it on my rent I could have spent it on something else that perhaps was a little more enjoyable I went to an open education conference in California this past October and there was an amazing student panel about students just gives me who we're using oh we are in the classroom and one student said I was so fortunate that my professor actually used a ER in the classroom because instead of paying $80 for a textbook I was able to put my child in a basketball class so wouldn't you when you put a human to this issue it's really hard to ignore that this is very very problematic and this is a real issue for a lot of our students and then one last thing here I know it's sounding really really gloomy I've already talked about that students get really creative so they're looking at that price tag they're like 110 dollars I'm not going to do that so what can I do to still access that textbook right so there's a couple of things that they do do which I'm sure you all are well aware of their gonna purchase that older addition which in my class if I don't use oer in the classroom I will tell my students you can purchase the older addition it might not have the most recent examples to illustrate our class concepts but you can go ahead and do that my name isn't on the textbook so I don't care not profiting from this but of course if they're not using the most recent examples they might not be able to make those connections between the concepts that you're teaching and what's going on outside of the university community they can delay the textbook or purchasing the textbook I should say but like someone was saying earlier you know they might fail their first exam and then purchase the textbook oh I'd like to kind of mute this now right they can forego purchasing the textbook altogether but of course there's a risk with that right the academic impact of not buying the textbook I used to do this when I was in college sharing the textbook but what's the disadvantage of doing that when you're sharing the textbook with your roommate or perhaps someone else who's in the class what's a huge disadvantage of that strategy yeah exactly yes yes yes so essentially access you still have limited access and the fifth one here is separated on purpose because it's illegal right and so we don't want to encourage our students to do anything illegal downloading of pedia from you know the internet um and this quote I I find it hilarious because this is one of the justifications that a student from the University of Minnesota said he justified not buying a new French book because he's like I mean French I mean can you blame them right again making those those value judgments alright so I want to talk more specifically about the impact that high cost textbooks have on our students academically because this affects all of us in this room so this is out of a report from the Florida Student textbook survey they took the survey twice I'm gonna report on the most recent results in 2016 so almost or a little over two-thirds of students from that survey reported not buying the textbook at all okay because textbooks can be so expensive almost half of them said they had to take fewer courses because they just could not afford to spend a thousand dollars on textbooks for four classes some students are not registering for a specific class so at Ohio State we actually have a website where professors you know post their syllabus and students will go on to the website see what the textbook is and they're like look not registering for that class because the textbook is too high I actually hear my students talk about this in class did you register for so-and-so's course no did you see how much that textbook cause I'll just take it later on I'll try to see if I you know don't have to take it because high textbooks are having an academic impact on our students they might not do or perform as well in the classroom some of them will drop out of the course completely or even fail the course okay a lot of this can and will impact enrollment numbers which affects us right especially for my non-tenure-track faculty my contractual faculty their livelihood is based upon how many students sign up for their course whether or not a course is offered so once more this isn't just affecting our students this can and will and has affected enrollment okay another quote from that panel that I keep talking about I'm actually gonna show you guys a clip of it it's amazing panel that took place one of the students reported that she knew of people who changed their major completely because the textbooks the course materials were way too expensive we're losing our students guys just to just a textbook just because you know it costs too much right one last video sorry one less gloomy video that I want to show you from the University of Minnesota this student basically talks about the specific impact that high cost textbooks has on his academic career but I promise it gets better this isn't a gloom and doom workshop and media management information system I actually decided to bottom in two of the required textbooks after kind of being around and really asking people taking the courses because I simply couldn't afford it that's what I said I forgot to alternative loans from my brothers that was to pay for the cost of textbooks on top of the tuition and so I have two of their prior textbooks unfearing a third textbook between two my roommate saw a guy down the hall and yeah it's in the other two you I just I don't really worry about because I mean I don't have enough money right now to be honest but it becomes bothersome when you have to travel you know to another dorm just hurry turn on text clip but I'd say four I mean there's some times where they're like I need the book right now I can't I can't give it to you and so I just kind of have to twiddle my thumb's until late at night when they're done and then I can read the book and then you like it started on sleep or something sometimes I've had to stay off his latest 3d 4:00 or 5:00 a.m. and then ghostly good three hours get up and go to class because I mean that's when the textbook was available to me I could have focused on my studies and more its study more than I wanted to but I mean a lot of times it's just you get started on sleep or you didn't have enough time to study as you want because I had to pass the textbook off to someone else that needed it it's just kind of challenging because it's like you know it's kind of you struggling to get enough money and so it's got in the bank your mind will worry throughout your day that do have enough money to pay for my textbooks or pay my brothers back kind of thing so that's next year unfortunately I think next year is going to be a lot like this semester where it's - well I'm gonna have to find another job because I'm moving actually outside of the dorms because it's cheaper so I I have to find a job because my Deborah now requires that I live in one of the dorms and I can't do that because I can't afford it kind of thing so I have to find a new job next semester I have to probably continue with the paid research thing and then I might actually end up having the scheduling courses around what my roommates and people let me know we're taking because if they ever shared a textbook and I might have to take that class kind of thing because it's if it's something that maybe doesn't interest me but it feels a requirement or elective I might have to take that because that's 200 less dollars in textbooks well coming from Michigan Minnesota you know no matter where you go college it's gonna be expensive but so I I pull up and contact all my things and then I've already done all the tuition and base stuff where you know they have my you know you turn in all that so I'm like okay I'm done and then textbook rolled around and I was like I remember totaling up all of my my textbooks and the cost of them and it was kind of like that's the second tuition thank you yeah I afford that kind of stock because I am completely broke in buying textbooks last year so I have to take out long and kind of manage which ones I'm gonna buy and it's just it always the second tuition it goin always kind of surprises me just this past year I probably spend in the ballpark of a thousand dollars and I haven't even bought all of the required taxes by its initial thoughts from the video any initial reactions responses everyone's faces like oh right I think we go ahead that's a good question and we're gonna talk about running in in just a second that reading is a way to kind of cut down on that cost absolutely is that I thought I saw a hand up but yeah renting renting is obviously a viable option yeah any other reactions to this yeah I think sometimes we underestimate what students are going through you know in order to sit right in front of us and engage with us as instructors but it's not all gloom and doom I promised you guys that it wasn't wasn't going to be just that oops all right so I think it's very very clear that what we have here is an extremely broken system right very very broken and I want to take the opportunity to kind of describe what's going on in the publishing industry particularly describe some of the publishing models so we have your traditional textbook publisher right who is going to invest a lot of money into creating and producing a textbook and they recoup that cost through of course sales okay and then the people who actually write the textbook the authors they get you know a small fraction of that profit through royalties okay that's the tradition anyone ever authored a textbook through a traditional house what was your experience like I'm curious he's okay okay okay all right someone else yes mm-hmm Oh does a kickback work right okay okay gotcha gotcha would you say that's a bear right right yeah so that's the traditional model that we typically see of course we have to tell people what and how they can use this information we put some type of copyright on it they can't edit or change the information or profit from it there are a variety of other models that we can take a look at as well so I can go online for instance and just put together a course packet and what have you but I'm not necessarily getting paid for that I'm not necessarily telling my audience what they can do to that or with that information let's see here yeah there's just a lot of things that perhaps are a bit a bit wrong with that model oh it's not peer-reviewed right so we can't really attest to the quality of that type of model here's another one where we have a funder who actually invest in the production of a textbook there's a huge contingency however the textbook has to be free forever okay and so that publisher then takes the money from the foundation or the funder to produce that textbook and sometimes actually oftentimes whoever is writing that textbook will get some type of stipend not necessarily royalties but some type of stipend okay and in terms of the funders I do want to explain this really quickly some of where this funding comes from it can come from universities like the provost office or in a form of a grant it can also come from actual foundations like the Hewlett and Gates Foundation federal funds state funds it can come from a variety of sources okay but we're missing one thing from this model what are we missing here yes yes yes yeah yeah missing the bookstore and then what else students yes what about licensing we're missing we're missing that part yeah copyright okay and this is where the Creative Commons licensing kind of comes into play for open textbooks that is so this is how we license our information our material so copyright basically is telling the reader all rights are reserved okay you can't edit this information can't profit from it with a lot of open textbooks we have what's called the Creative Commons licensing so essentially some rights are reserved you can edit and modify it to a certain degree okay you might have seen this license on other websites or in other textbooks this is from MIT MOOCs website here's an example of a Creative Commons license there are about six of them and yes I'm gonna quiz you right now on the six licenses as soon as I explain them so the first one we have is CC by so basically that it basically tells the reader that you can use this information you can edit it you can change it you can modify you can remix it you can reuse it as long as you attribute the original author okay then you have CC non-commercial so you can change this content you can customize it whatever or however you want to but you can't profit from it okay so you can't make a slight change in the textbook slap your name on it and then say hey pay $15 for the textbook that was written by somebody else okay so that's non-commercial then you have CC by share-alike so that basically says that you can edit this information change it you can use it however you want to but whatever that end product is you have to license it in the same way that the original author did okay and then CC by and D non derivative that basically means that you can use that content but you can't change it okay so you can't edit it modify remix it reuse it anything like that all right is that clear because I'm gonna give you a quiz alright CC by what does that mean again CC by yes a tribute the author yep yep but you can do pretty much anything you want to do to it as long as you attribute the original source what about the second license CC by Shira light right right so the license has to be the same license that the original authors left on that particular textbook or course material very good CC by nd non derivative right right exactly very good CC by NC non-commercial can't make a profit I like that one right no I shouldn't say that CC by NC Ciera like this is a little complicated yep very good and then the last license here Barbara what are you thinking okay that's fine that's fine that's fine some want to help Barbour out uh-huh yes very good all right you got this you can come up here and teach it yes all right so that this is kind of a model for open textbooks right so we have a funder that comes in and helps to produce and create the content and it's fun the content I should say for the open textbook and the authors are paid in some capacity so with the Creative Commons license it enables us to do a variety of things with open textbooks once more you can copy the textbook and use it in any way that you want to you can share this content with other folks you can edit it so you can take out chapters that you don't like you said you were frustrated with your ebook right now maybe there are some chapters that you just don't like you can take out chapters and perhaps put in your own course materials okay and that goes a lot with mixing or re mixing okay you can keep that content alright and you can use it and so that brings me to my point of open what open really means an open textbook open means free basically we're not charging people an arm and a leg to access this information and they have permission to use it in a way that basically is customizable to their learning experience okay now I do want to stress the word open an open textbook or open educational resource because I think a lot of times instructors may include it before I got into this whole open education thing I thought open education resources or open educational resources I thought digital resources they're not exactly the same thing and so I kind of want to show you guys this video from David Wiley who's kind of like the Guru in our art field open education he explains the difference between open educational resources and and digital resources and I want you to pay close attention to the distinction that he makes so when we say open educational resources I think everybody has an intuitive understanding text books and videos and syllabi and assessment banks and all the stuff that you use when you're teaching but what does it open and if this is the only thing that you take away from this whole however long we end up listening to what does open mean there's some confusion I think with the idea that three means open let me say why I think that that is problematic for the entire Internet is already free you don't pay to watch videos on YouTube you don't pay to read articles on the Guardian you don't pay to do the overwhelming majority of things you don't now there are some small corners of the internet where you might have to pay but the overwhelming majority of the internet is already free in all the open meant was free we would a new name we wouldn't call it open educational resources we just thought internet resources or online resources or something like that as the entire internet sorry freeze not even interesting prettiest kind of table states free and what free love in the case of open we mean free plus permissions free plus copyright permissions and this is so critically important that you're not going to recognize the step horse by the sound of beating it here free Plus permissions so open when someone says you have one is open mean you say it means two things yes it means free and unfettered access I don't have to create an account I don't have to tell you my email address I don't they give up my zip code or my gender or something else I just I just type in the URL and they're all right Google search and I click on the link and there it is there's no wall there's no password just free and unfettered access plus plus but this is 99% of the internet right so hope it means this plus a perpetual irrevocable grant a formal legal grant of copyright permissions that we shorthand as the five are permissions here so these are they so the firefighters are retain reuse revise remix and redistribute and and what these mean we'll put this down for me because we're going to spend a moment here what these mean and retain is the most important one retain is fundamental to all of the others working so in a world of Netflix and Spotify and and Pandora you can a world where you have without recognizing it and maybe even have stopped owning copies of things and you just pay a monthly fee to be able to stream things that you never own a copy of retain means I can actually download a copy which is mine which does not delete itself which does not have an access code that expires it's not go away it's good old-fashioned ownership of private property I have a copy in his mind and I'm the master of that column so I can make and keep this copy and with that copy then I have permission to do a whole bunch of things I can use it in a broad range of ways including revise means I can open it up and fiddle with its insides I can take out this example and write the new example but it I can take out of that image take a new picture and put that picture inside it I can I can translate it into another language I can adjust the reading level up or down I can I can localize it adapted modify improve it for my own circumstances I have a formal legal grant of copyright permission to do that I'm gonna stop it right there so I think that's a great explanation of what you can do with open educational resources um let's see here so a David Wiley this just basically went over the the permissions that we have with open textbooks through the Creative Commons license okay so there are some huge benefits in terms of adopting or using open educational resources in the classroom it definitely decreases some of those barriers that we see to access right so it encourages that free exchange of information which when you think about it that's what higher education is supposed to be all about right also the content stays in higher education right it's authored by those who are affiliated with some type of scholarly institution from a faculty perspective I found it very empowering authoring an open textbook I was able to tailor the content to exactly what I wanted my student to get out of the course okay and not only that I was able to provide student examples like exemplary student examples in the textbook and put it in there instantaneously right so it's very very empowered for me to use open educational resources in the classroom and then also a lot of people from very very prestigious universities are authoring open educational resources this is just some of the universities that are represented through open textbooks and so students actually really enjoy classrooms or classes that use open educational resources so I'd just have one last video for you guys I do want to show that panel that I was talking about with the Santa Ana students from California they talked about their experience using open educational resources remember this very literally last last year fall semester while I was registering for classes for my fall semester of 2016 and I have realized that I wasn't gonna be able to afford one of my tax breaks and just a little bit of background about me as I mentioned earlier I'm a full-time student mom dad and I are married and all three of us my wife my daughter and I have were surviving on one income and it's super honest it's a struggle today and I found out that since I wasn't going to be able to enroll into that course or take that course I wasn't have to push it push that course to the next semester and I pushed me to the next semester and it along my graduation date would it just fell out a schedule I actually would have to be what I would have to postpone it a full academic year and which was really devastating it was a just question you know part of me thought maybe I should just drop out and just go back to work but you know I have to watch my daughter but as I was looking through the courses I found a no they are course it's satisfy the requirements needed to stay on track with my head plan and so the cost benefit of we are it really helped a lot I was able to stay on track with my head plan I was able to graduate from the Community College and I was able to transfer to I would get the EOPS Resource Center and thankfully they have loans they have the calculator but they also offer eliminated money for students ethically in that area the financial group their dollars if you're in a macro micro economics class that's about how much that would cost so I think that the benefit for single parents or statical parents or parents that are coming back in usually first provide for my point of view for my experience I came in Brooke and I had just gotten out of a really bad relationship and when I came in I was broken and I did not need any any additional challenges going back to school was like my only choice because if I didn't go back to spoil would end up or eat dead-end jobs and leaving my children alone most of the time I didn't want that cycle to continue in my life and in my children's life so I basically went and I asked for all the help that I think antenna college and they offer a lot of help but for students that don't have children for students that are coming back there there's just the top of students they don't have all the health that I was able to see so $300 does want go a long way when you're a business major sometimes students have to choose another major even if they don't want to go into that major just because of the financial situation that they're in and also the mall and just do like quick like the locational like quick careers because of money because of time you know they have to they have to hurry up they have to get the exam and it's all back to because I have to get back to work so I think that when we do the open but these are our resources the fact that one of my classes only but it was a material speak $5 I could get my dog's anywhere and most of them are free so for me that I know a lot of single parents a lot of them are anything and as a single parent I took these classes not because of the money because at the time I was getting help but now that I'm taking classes that I purchased ebooks for it's it's a little bit cheaper to so what I think is that these resources are so helpful in so many areas in so many groups for so many people and if you take a consideration to participate and be a part of these books any resources you would not just be helping standard student all right I'm gonna stop it right there so I think that's a great point that she made in terms of using or in the classroom it can be helpful to a wide variety of students from various different backgrounds so here's just an example of one open textbook actually - excuse me cover and everything one is from SUNY or both of them consumer from SUNY right and most of these are found online but you can have a print edition as well this is from openstax from Rice University as you can see some of them are even coming out with their second edition and I believe since open Stax has started they saved students almost I think hundred fifty million dollars one hundred fifty five million dollars since 2012 so that's a lot of money that we're we're saving our students it's one last thing right that they have to worry about so now I want to take the opportunity to talk a little bit more about the open textbook network okay so I do want to make this clear we're not a publishing company okay we are just a community of the folks who want to basically try to help support open education programs whether that is through publishing or authoring or something else to date we've reached about 2600 faculty when we're conducting workshops and what-have-you and of those faculty that we've reached approximate 40 to 45 percent do it end up adopting some type of open textbook an open textbook Network basically provides the open textbook library which I want to actually go ahead and talk about right now but before I talk about that I want to pause here and make sure that there aren't any questions comments right I don't know that off the top of my head but that is an interesting question absolutely yeah all right so here's the open textbook library you can access it actually right now if you'd like to if you want to follow along with me open um any D you and the library website should pop up there we have textbooks from a variety of subject matters anywhere from accounting business engineering communication journalism human ecology even education and they're all openly licensed if you go to where it says browse subject matters you can see all the categories that we have here listed there's an about Us section if you're more interested in learning about the library and then once you actually click on a textbook you can see the TOC or the table of contents who wrote the book and the license most of our books are in some type of dual format and what I mean by dual format or multiple format it's either PDF epub or just their general website because you can find open textbooks and other sort in other places I didn't know what what what that group or that entity yeah that's a labors of me--for right that's a really great question I think if I go to I think it's my next slide I talked about some of the inclusion criteria that's what makes the open textbook network a little bit different from perhaps open stacks or some of the other open textbook programs that you see so let me go ahead and actually get to that to answer your question here's just another example also you can see the reviews right so if you are concerned about the quality or whether or not people actually think highly of this textbook you can go there and access the reviews these reviews are from faculty right so in terms of what's new in the open textbook library we have approximately 450 to 460 textbooks which i think is amazing very diverse categories here not each category is each class is represented but a lot of them are there's a huge surge recently in engineering textbooks so I think that's awesome as well and also in Spanish language textbooks so to get to your question in order to submit an open textbook to the open textbook Network library first of all it has to be openly licensed ok and that includes images videos that you might include in there right so for some of the open textbook programs or websites that you might see that criteria might not apply to images and videos ok also it has to be portable in a variety of formats and files right so the PDF epub or online format you also have to have the complete textbook not just a you know draft or halfway finished version and what have you whoever is writing this open textbook has to be affiliated with some type of academic or scholarly institution so that's a huge distinction between the open textbook Network and other open textbook programs that you might see and then the actual textbook in itself has to be an original product so we're not looking for like a culmination of like different articles that you kind of just put together like a course packet right we're not looking for anything like that has to be original production of original project so does that mean the openly license that you couldn't refer to say YouTube video because that that's a good question I'm going to ask Michelle do you know what yeah can you read the question more time what thing it's very difficult to find images it could help you understand some of the copyright issues related to that what goes into the library yeah me too yeah so basically if you were if you were to embed a YouTube video like let's say you want it to write could you actually put that in your open textbook and then submit that to the open textbook library that's what you're asking right yeah yeah I think that's a really good question I don't want to answer it for sure because I want to mislead you let me get back to you let me verify that information but to my knowledge and some of the other open textbooks that do have videos it's original production so they're not linking out to another YouTube video so that's why I want to say it's it's a no but I want I don't want to say for sure for sure so other questions yes not on the open textbook yep not on the open textbook Network library but you can go to the Creative Commons website there's another one that I'm forgetting off the top of my head you can go to Google Images but like you were saying it's kind of weird to kind of filter out everything but I recommend the Creative Commons any other questions yes as far as far as what to be quite honest with you I know there's I wouldn't say there's a resistance but you know as we all know in academia change comes slowly yeah so I wouldn't say that there is a complete resistance against that but I also wouldn't say that there is a complete let's let's do this let's include that in the in the tnp and that is a real concern for a lot of faculty yes and no it depends upon your respective university to be honest with you but it is something that we have to consider right right right yeah yeah yep yep absolutely yeah and then a lot of the textbooks that you find in the open textbook the network library you can you know print them off through your bookstore and put them there I mean I would imagine a lot of our students are going to online resources anyways they're not actually stepping foot unfortunately and in the bookstore so that's one way that you can still participate with the books there by having those pert copies available of open textbook [Music] yeah we're not in the business of wiping out campus bookstores I just want to make that clear as well we do want to work with them absolutely great question some of them do to be quite honest with you that is an area that we really need more test banks more online perhaps homeworks homework packets auxilary packets you know course materials and you know to be honest with you a lot of the textbooks that you see here they they don't unfortunately have that that corresponding packet some do but not all of them other questions all right so I do want to talk a little bit more about the quality of the open textbooks in the open textbook library so I'm not going to sit up here and say these are high quality textbooks why am I not going to say that because I'm not an expert in your fear field I'm not an expert in your field I'm not an expert in your field I can only speak to communication okay but I can say based upon the faculty reviews this is what we've received so far so on a scale from one to five about 640 reviews did basically give the textbooks 4.5 to 5 on the five-point scale so I think that's pretty good you know not all the textbooks are great okay that's not what I'm trying to promote here but a wide variety of based upon five the reviews are pretty pretty decent okay also going along the lines of oh we are quality there's a lot of research behind oh we are in terms of whether or not there are quality open educational resources out there so based upon 12 peer-reviewed studies that basically surveyed believe it was yes 5,000 professors and students say they looked at their perception of open educational resources they found that about half of them thought that open educational resources were just about the same quality wise compared to traditional textbooks or traditional materials about 1/3 of them thought that they were better and then a small fraction are like don't really like them okay so that's across 5,000 professors and students just to kind of zero in on this a little bit more this is from a specific class that used an open textbook so comparing it to other courses that use traditional textbooks they thought this particular textbook they meaning the students thought it was much better than other courses now granted were only talking about 49 students so the sample size is very very limited here they thought it was extremely relevant to the course content and that's one great benefit of open textbooks you can tailor that content to whatever you want your students to engage with and of course they're going to say that it was a good value for the price okay three here's an open-ended feedback from that same class that used the open textbook you can read this to yourselves it's actually kind of funny see how students are becoming more aware of those instructors who are using oh we are in the classroom and they're actually some of them are actually really liking that in terms of the effectiveness of oh we are right so what kind of academic impact is oh we are have on our students based upon 13 peer-reviewed studies 120 almost thousand students academically oh we are of those classes that use Oh a are those students fair just as well if not better than those students who were in classrooms that use traditional textbooks or traditional material so in other words guys we're not putting our students at an academic detriment and we're using oh we are in the classroom based upon the data here if you are interested in more research regarding open educational resources come talk to me after the workshop there is a particular group that conducts research over this subject matter here's another example of an open textbook that is more comprehensive I think you asked for like you know that axillary homework packet this particular textbook has that it's in a variety of formats there's an instructor solution manual there's powerpoints right so this is a very very very comprehensive open textbook almost looks like a traditional textbook right and then I do want to talk a little bit more about how you can customize content in an open textbook here is one example in which again to share like example in which you can customize information based upon what you want your students to take away from the classroom this particular textbook was modified and revised and I think a more tangible example if you are a part of the open textbook network as a member you get access to a platform called pressbooks that is the platform that I use to author my open textbook and what you can do is copy and paste the link to an open textbook that was created through pressbooks clone it and then you have access to all that information go in on the back end and edit it take out chapters put in materials right so I think that's a really really really cool way to where you can customize the content and open and again that platform was called pressbooks yes yep yep yep and then just to brag one more time about my university we do have an affordable learning program at Ohio State in which we enable instructors to use oh we are in the classroom to author we are and by the end of this past year we actually saved students and this year alone 1 million dollars and so I challenge you all here at Texas Tech to kind of do the same thing ok save our students a lot of money by at least trying to cut down the cost in some capacity there is one professor here who's already doing that dr. Griffith she's a contributing author to an open textbook that is in the open textbook library ok so it seems like it is definitely happening here at Texas Tech so all I want to you guys to do honestly is just to take a look at what's in the catalog right now and give us feedback we need your feedback we really really really really do at the end of this works I'm not immediate to end but you will hopefully provide a review to us also make sure that you tell your colleagues about open educational resources so some of you guys might be sitting here thinking I'm not sure if this is for me at least spread that awareness that this resource is available to you guys speaking of that review and maybe Camille can speak to this a little bit more there will be stipends paid for for attending this workshop and for reviewing the open textbook library or a particular textbook and I'm not sure when that review needs to be finalized Camille I was March 16th ok I'm sorry I put March 27th ok yes yes yeah or in terms like oh I explained that oh yeah absolutely that's gonna be explained to you in an email yes yep absolutely yeah anything else well honestly guys that is all I have you were a fun group of people to talk to I must say and hopefully it took something away regarding open educational resources thank you so much [Applause] you

instagram and i actually shared it on my instagram story about a week and a half ago maybe two weeks ago and i was like i must find this toy because it's just it's ridiculous it's hilarious and i can't believe it it even exists well a buddy of mine his name's shin um he sent me a link to it on amazon and i now own this thing and i've been waiting to get it to open it on camera and to use this

camera work as i open this thing all right we have the gotta go turtle little live pets feed me i do a magic poop i repeat what you say uh-oh gotta go all right there's apparently a try me button is it this no right here ready this is ridiculous oh god oh let's see one more time [Laughter] okay so now for those of you who are not familiar with this toy this turtle you feed it and it literally poops in a toilet and you fill this toilet with water so let's read the back here together gotta go turtle from mouth to feet shelbert is one funny turtle and what goes in must come out feed him his turtle food and watch his neck wiggle as he gobbles it down when shelbert's gotta go he'll let you know by singing his catchy song place him on the toilet and watch him poop into the bowl then scoop up the poop and do it all again literally feed me watch my neck wiggle watch my magic poop it will make you giggle i repeat what you say feed me over and over again comes with feeding scoop and reusable food so i mean i'm known for my burping contest video so you guys already know i like crude humor so i'm gonna go ahead and get this thing out of the box and then we're gonna get this baby started because i want to see this thing eat its turtle food and then poop in the toilet so let's get this sucker out of the box all right he has been released from his packaging this is the turtle food this is the toilet the lid literally comes off you fill that with water here's the the food scoop and we got the little instruction booklet you gotta try me we got off on but you got microphone speaker battery compartment um batteries open gotta go turtle's mouth using the scoop slowly pour the turtle food down the throat stop feeding when food no longer goes down throat clothes gotta go turtle's mouth when he sings the gotta go song quickly place him on the toilet once on the toilet watch as he makes amazing poops warning food is forgot to go turtle not kids do not eat the turtle food fill to the line fill the line with water tip use your finger to help gently push the food down gotta go turtle's throat that really only use clean water never use other liquids do not leave turtle food or water in the toilet for extended period of time store toodle turtle food in scoop over a sink take the seat off of the toilet and pour the contents back into the scoop to filter the water out shake the scoop to help drain excess water watch as it becomes food again the food will instantly dry if water does not drain from scoop run your finger across the outside of the mesh let's go fill this all right so we got to fill it to that line okay then we set this on top and we're gonna set it right there all right so this is the food it doesn't smell bad it kind of smells like arts and crafts honestly can anyone else relate to like the smell of arts and crafts like glue and popsicle sticks and yarn alright so we're gonna put the food in here ah give it to me and make a mess right off the bat we got we got our toilet we got our food we got our tattle so let's make sure he's on it's all me always loud noises when i'm recording it's all knee and no foot this is ridiculous make sure you hit that like button and subscribe button okay all right now it's feeding time bro chill stop this dude needs to stop moving okay i'm gonna put on my head mount so you guys can actually see this better so one second all right let's try this again shall we no more dang first feeding and i already made this dude throw up okay now what [Music] okay so i don't know how long it's going to take he's already pooped bro you you sharted oh my goodness don't gotta clean up after him and it's like having a kid bro i'm gonna slap do you gotta go poop yet no do you have to go poop yet listen okay is there like a poo button on this this may be the most ridiculous thing i've ever purchased so we're in this now i have no idea how long does it take for him to actually have to go poop but i guess we're just going to hang out until it happens all right we're ready for you whenever you're ready to take a dump you getting sassy we're just gonna put them on the toilet and see what happens [Music] oh did he poop all the way oh he's still pooping [Music] get it all out homies [Music] oh my gosh okay so we pooped on the counter he pooped in the potty and i was shaking he is all clean kids okay so now we're gonna go clean out the toilet let's do this take the lid off it didn't come out looking like poop so that's just interesting but we have to pour the water out through here and that oops filters our poop back in to the food scooper it's crazy because it is dry there's like a drop in there it's weird this thing doesn't absorb any kind of wetness whatsoever we just put the poop that he he just pooped this out and now we're gonna feed him his own poop here we go oh he's ready too he's ready for some food let's feed him some food all right hmm [Applause] [Music] it definitely does not come out the way that it says it's supposed to there's barely anything in there let's try again [Music] on the video that i've seen it literally comes out looking like a turd and it definitely does not that's just some floaters right there kids so we're gonna feed him one more time on the pot is this how you feed a [Applause] child oh well i gotta say that i am i'm disappointed by the the fact that it doesn't actually look like poop at all okay so that is all we have for shelbert that's shelbert the gotta go turtle he's just sitting over here mocking me but yeah just to reiterate um it's supposed to come out like turds but yeah he was like 13 bucks on amazon so i figured hey what the heck he's got a poopy butt he's got a little bit of a poopy toilet there's his food it's just it's sand so there you go uh hope you guys enjoy this i know how ridiculous this is but it's something that i wanted to do for the channel because i know that it's ridiculous and it's crude humor and i like crude humor so anyways i hope you guys enjoyed this little random video something i've never done before showcase a random toy that i just bought and uh shelbert do you have any last words don't forget to like and subscribe and as always we will see you in the hey hey next video's not done yet kids video's not done yet listen listen i just dropped a brand new it's all new merch i

PANEL - Innovation & Opportunities via Front-End Software Development
[Music] all right good morning uh Welcome to our panel we'll be discussing um Innovative tools available to the portfolio managers and researchers to get um your ideas to the market faster and um uh my name is baharudin uh I run bide sales and account management for active VM where we um help our clients make more money mitigate risks and Via uh optimizing their trading risk management and financial operations uh my steam panelist uh why don't you uh why don't I let you introduce yourselves uh hi good morning everybody uh my name is JRE thisai uh I'm a senior solution architect at The Rocker group in Washington DC rocker group group is like one of the global investment farm and uh managing like over $16 billion Asset Management uh I particularly uh responsible for managing the cloud infrastructure de offs Pipeline and the managing the different uh data across the slice and dice things and also uh managing like U like security Cloud uh Cloud security and the posture management yeah hi everybody my name is Amy Young I am um what's called an industry adviser at Microsoft it's an unusual role that was created three or four years ago as Microsoft embarked on what it calls its pivot to Industry um this emerges from the acknowledgement that um as technology has become more Central to business strategy business you know business decision makers are having a bigger impact on technology purchase decisions so you can't just sell to it anymore and as as you know as we tried to get our traditional Salesforce to engage with these line of Business Leaders they discovered that you know it probably helps to have people who understand the industry really deeply who have you know firsthand experience in it in uh when you're trying to open those kinds of doors so I've been at Microsoft for four years but my 25y year career spans various aspects of Capital markets wealth management and management consulting um so it's it's my job to engage with um line of Business Leaders on their digital transformation challenges and what's particularly interesting about the role at this point in time is you generative AI has become a hot button issue for Business Leaders um historically I've been you know when I knock on on doors of of line of Business Leaders they look a little puzzled about why they should be talking to Microsoft you know they say well you know I love I love teams but you know other than that what what do we have to talk about and uh you know this year that conversation has changed um completely so it's exciting to be here and talk about that and hello everyone Matt Con Weiser with IBM and um actually I am What's called the uh the data Ai and automation technical leader one of them uh for the company and my kind of unique Niche there is to focus on all of the new use cases and new capabilities and try and bring those to Market in a business context much like like Amy's remit um been at IBM for actually it'll be almost 10 years and spent quite a bit of time in cyber security as well and there is a huge overlap between cyber security and data Ai and automation especially with generative Ai and the business use cases involved in it so I'm very excited to be here thank you all right thank you so much much for uh introductions uh I would I I always try to engage the pan the audience um can't can't see very well with the lights but uh now that you know who your panelists are wanted to um ask you to raise your hands if you are in an investment management function anybody awesome and what about technology uh somebody who enables the um grade well um I I assume that um people who didn't raise hands they still haven't had their coffee yet so um we'll we'll proceed um so I want to start with um why this panel so when viak and I spoke a few months ago what might be interesting to this audience um I told him that I see a trend um among our clients where they there's a great push to uh leverage as much technology as possible to um expedite the to accelerate the time to market for the new trading ideas and one example that we have is a client who cut their time to Market from three to four months down to two weeks and all of that is uh possible with the with the tools that are available now and the tools that are coming uh so I want to start uh with uh what is available now what is pra uh what is wildly used at this point and um maybe chanders will start with you given that you are the representative of the asset manager and you can share what your team um uses uh for that uh purpose yeah sure uh uh actually in the Rock criek we are gathering like multiple source of data in terms of like data should be like a structure format un structure format and semi structure format so this data we are gathering like multiple sources like a different file structure format as well as also getting the data from like vendor is a third party API and we are uh putting all the data into the central location in uh in cloud and from there so this data we are like first like make it like a slice and dice so the for for making the slice and dice we need to use like heavy Cloud native tooling like we call it as like a data lake so data lake is like a kind of old traditional data warehousing concept but like based on this data like we are using multiple tool like in AWS and we are that that is our like a central location of the data of source that and from that data source we are make it U as like a s maker which is one of the machine learning and AI tool in a and that is the input with like multiple input parameters and uh based on that s maker we are like training the model like build the model and deploy into the different environment so those those thing is like we are heavily used that and as it was presentation layer uh from the like s maker so s maker is like a middle layer we can call it as and but for the presentation layer we are heavily use the different like in-house application there and that application uh getting the data from the S maker and the Central repository is a data Lake and uh we can also uh use this data into the different business intelligence dashboarding to like a table or uh there recently introduced byw there is a quick site dashboard there so quick site is one of the also uh like a charting and bi tool there we are heavily use there so so that the tool like currently rocki um there are like a different analyst person there or the portfolio manager or hund manager they are like we rely on dashboard and and those dashboard like kind of like a real time data update like a near real time not like exact real time but like there is a few second to minute like there but yes yeah so based on those realtime data that can analyze the data and more uh decision making process according to that okay so I I I um I hear that so to summarize um uh your your team is looking to leverage uh data of all types and um to in order to make an analysis and decision and uh this is the trend that we also observe within our client base when you want to bring your um uh real-time streaming data with um intraday data with historical data and be able to consume it an ad hog basis in a very uh cost-efficient manner so I I think um you mentioned cloud and uh that's uh probably a big aspect of of of that uh of that process so um why don't we talk about um Cloud as a as the enabler of of of this um Innovation and um ability to um access all all the information that you have uh in order to make the the decisions that are required for in dysfunction so uh Amy why don't we um start with you sure so just um just so everyone is clear the the AWS lingo that chandr just shared Microsoft has all the same stuff um our names are nice and easy to to understand instead of something obscure like Sage maker we just call ours Azure machine learning um and now we have a groovy thing called Azure machine Learning Studio um that's our our um enhanced platform that that specifically addresses a number of generative AI needs and use cases but leaving the commercial aside um I think what's particularly interesting about this moment in time is you know the industry has been talking about alternative data for several years now and what's what's really I think we're at an inflection point where corporations so corporations have been on this journey to to migrate to Cloud for several years and it's obviously been accelerating and that of course becomes the raw material that enables alternative data of all types right so as Cloud usage increases alternative data will increase in proportion or rather at a multiple of that so one example I can give to make this tangible Microsoft has or there's this thing called a digital twin um that's U that's an assembly of different digital capabilities that's used in a number of different Industries um typically in in manufacturing or production types of contexts so a couple years ago Microsoft worked with one of the major oil companies um to create a digital twin of a drilling rig in the North Sea and when you create a drilling rig of a of a facility whether it's a manufacturing facility or a drilling rig or or anything like that you're putting a bunch of devices all over this this um facility to measure what happens everywhere across the facility at a level of detail that we never could before and so you know this this this digit this particular digital twin we use as part of our ESG and sustainability you know the the data driven nature of of ESG measurement because now like the every barrel of oil that is produced by that digital by that drilling rig doesn't have the same carbon footprint the carbon emissions from a drilling rig vary based on seasons based on you know the the geology where you are in the in the depth of the well you know I'm not not an expert in that but it varies dramatically and so by creating this digital twin of this rig we can now measure the carbon footprint of each individual barrel of oil rather than you know just okay in the aggregate this facility its emissions over over the span of a year are X and so if you if you take that one example one drilling rig you know did um you know I recently uh did an event with the New York CFA Society where I talked about uh um a partner of ours called Ecolab that does this to measure the quality of water used in a soap production plant so that we're getting to this whole like orders of magnitude deeper detail on the types of alternative day that we can manufacture because of cloud and so all of that becomes you know the the raw material input to investment decision making so I think that's that's one area where you know everybody's you know over the moon excited about generative AI but the it it sits on the you know it's the chair very on top of a a great deal of innovation you know starting with the internet basically but then going to Cloud then to apis then to traditional machine learning you know all all of these things build upon each other to get us to this moment where we're at right now um and I think that it's really important to look at that broader context of what cloud is enabling well that's a fascinating example and I think it's a great setup for the last panel of the day where they're going to talk about alternative uh data and um but uh having all of that all of that data available how how do we bring it to to the end users so maybe uh I don't know if any of you can uh touch upon that because uh it's it's you have to be able to use it yeah so I'll start um so I think that the the secret there is actually the cloud right because um everybody has use cases for AI and everybody is used using AI the the problem has always been that it is a significant amount of resources U not just in terms of compute space and rack space but also environmental impact to build and train and house your own models right so the availability of cloud and the acceptance of the use of cloud especially in heavily regulated businesses like finance and Healthcare has allowed access to those Services where previously really wasn't possible uh it's also done it on a much different cost bases it's much less expensive now you can put down a credit card and for a couple hundreds a month you can get a cloud instance and for a little bit more you can get access to a a semi-private uh you know machine learning model so so I think that's made it accessible to to the masses the other thing that is really important especially when we talk about usage of of front-end applications with these cloud services is we're we're really back to a Mainframe model right so if you think about Mainframe it was a heavy compute resource in a central facility with at the time coaxial cables running to thin Terminals and we're right back to that after about 20 or 30 years of everybody being about building the biggest best desktop computer you could make we're back to a Mainframe model except now we call it Cloud but that has allowed us to create these very powerful applications and provide them to lots of different types of users on lots of different types of devices regardless of what those devices are um so that's that's the first thing the second thing I'll mention and this is really more of a of a transformer Foundation model AI Innovation is that the interface to these systems is now natural language you don't need to be an expert in python or coding to ask a an AI system to do something for you and that is tremendous because one of the things things I hear a lot when I do these types of talks and I also do some Community AI training and and classes is I'm going to be out of a job you know I don't know python I can't code I'm never going to be able to work with this and then when we sit people down and actually play with AI and they realize it's as easy as speaking to another human being they realize that the knowledge they have from the Decades of work that they've done becomes more valuable in the new models with the new applications because they have experience that younger coders may not have so they're working on the back end the coders are working on the back end and you've got the highly skilled knowledge people in the different Industries working on the front end and that becomes a bridge between the two of them so that's that's what we're seeing from a trend perspective if I if I could add to that I think I think we're missing an important middle layer here um and so and I I you know as I said in my introduction you know I'm a capital Market it's practitioner by training right not a technologist so I show up at Microsoft four years ago you know and I figure cloud is infrastructure much much like you described but what's interesting is cloud is actually a a series of Lego blocks and when I started at Microsoft four years ago I think we had something like 70 different Azure services and so think of each Azure Service as a Lego block and you know I'm I'm old enough to to have played with Lego as a kid when there were probably about 20 different types of Lego and that was it right and then I you know I bought Lego for my kids and Lego we have this you know a bazillion different types of Lego pieces and so when you have different types of Lego pieces you can do way cooler stuff right versus just having you know the eight dot blocks and the four dot blocks and the two dot blocks and so that's what's happening with Cloud we've gone from having like 80 Azure Services when I joined four years ago to today I think we have over 300 so think of those as new types of Legos and what's what this means to business stakeholders is that they can innovate much more quickly this is part of the reason that we're seeing so much more Innova the pace of innovation with this whole generative AI thing has been faster than we've ever seen before you know we're we're seeing lots of new startups that are that are assembling these Lego blocks in innovative ways to create solutions for all of you so it's you know I my my the perspective that I would try to enforce reinforce with with an investment audience is you You' you know I would encourage you to to really try and learn a a little bit about Cloud um you know to Matt's point it's you don't have to be very technical to understand the Strategic importance of this because it's it's not just infrastructure you know the the world where when you wanted to do something with a system and it came back to you and said it's going to take two years and cost 50 million bucks that's not Cloud allows them to come back to you and say yeah we can spin up an MVP of that in a couple of weeks and the cost is entirely variable and so you can change the way you work you know extremely quickly I uh yeah I would like to add one point like as em mentioned that like cloud is a Lego pieces there so for example like before the cloud so it's a data center World there so let's say for example if you need to uh install or any software or any AI models or like train the models we need to install like many applications into the data center and we need to ask to the uh Network person to make it more secure and make it connectivity with different like uh sources and uh softwares there but like once the cloud has been uh there so we can like uh directly install or create like a manage Service uh or like we can like uh access the manage service and we can also create like infrastructure as a code that means like for example if you need to create a salemaker or open AI or S your any Services there we can we can all uh create a pipeline using the infrastructure as a code uh we can also check the security perspective and we can also predict the cost actually before before actually implementing into the cloud so those part are like part of the infrastructure as a code and uh so let's say for example if you need uh this model to run for just like 8 hours a day then you can just spin up this uh entire infrastructure into just for the 8 hours and make it down after business hours so you don't like you know pay any cost for that so this is like completely pay as you go so that means like you can also saving a lot of cost based on those infrastructures you code and in the cloud native tools here yeah thank you and I I was going to say that you you have a very um um accessible way to explain all this technology um I when I was researching the panelist I came across your LinkedIn page and there's a lot of information uh that is um that you popularize for for cloud technology so to am is point uh it's not that um it's not that difficult to understand and it um really makes a difference to to get a little bit under the hood and and and see how it all works um so I wanted to um well maybe we can pivot in into um AI at this point uh and kind of tie tie together the uh the capabilities of of of cloud the ability to do uh to spin up all the environments where the end user can uh quickly work on something uh on their own whether at this point they might have to know python or there might be some AI based applications where uh where that is already available and um expedite the whole process to uh time to market for for the say new trading strategy and uh I think we heard a lot about AI yesterday and if um uh I think if I had everyone raise their hand again and ask how many of you uh used uh AI based uh powered apps uh this year it probably will be 90% of the audience but a year ago it will be less than 10% probably something like that so the the speed of adoption is definitely something um of um of a Marvel and and uh it leads to a lot of um democratization of the of the tools that are available that we historically gated behind the certain set of skills and I think um Amy you you talked about uh um that a little bit on how um AI enables the uh democratization of quantos and uh Matt also had um a few points that that we discussed uh before so maybe we can jump into that and um focus on the use cases of um where AI can help with us um uh in the context of our uh panel discussion who who would like to start I guess I guess I I would start with let's let's start with a a broad statement that um every asset manager whether they private Equity Quant fundamental everything in between they're all coming to Microsoft and I'm sure they're coming to my competitors as well but to to say they want some kind of a digital assistant to aug M their investment professionals okay and you know no no big surprise there but that is that is a very imprecise ask um and so this is this is part of my encouragement to investment professionals to to learn enough about this to be partners with your technology staff who are trying to take you on this journey to build this this digital assistant to um augment all of you so what I found is my customers that are making the most progress the most quickly are the folks that have on staff they've they've invested in that rare breed of person who is both an investment professional and a technologist of some type right whether they're a data scientist or you know lots of phds in AI out there and those are the firms that have brought together their technology people and those people are the ones that are way out in front everybody else is is you know still stuck in trying to figure out what the list of use cases is so they they come up with like literally you know there's just one global bank that's kind of become a bit of a joke around Microsoft that they actually came to us with 832 use cases because they they didn't this was the business right because the business didn't know enough about generative AI to bucket those into okay this is this is summarization this is categorization right and so being being really specific about being being a little bit specific about what use case you're actually trying to advance I think is really key um and then the other thing is that people have to wrap their head around the fact that this is a journey you're going to start you're you're not going to have this digital assistant that augments your investment Professionals in every respect you know anytime soon you're going to start with a very narrow thing something that for example I don't know summarize well there was a great one on yesterday one of yesterday's panel where they fed the risk section of KS and q's into um into a model and just said flag for me when any of the risk language changes it's an awesome starting use case but so back to my Lego blocks analogy you know we're going to start with something very narrow like that and then we'll add another Lego block that'll add you know something that's just one one step adjacent to that this is a platform that your firms are going to build and evolve over years it's a never ending Journey so that that's a mindset we need to bring to to this huge opportunity great thank thank you mat yeah so I won't uh I'll just double down on everything you said but I'll add to it as well and that is that uh one of the reasons why I got into working with the financial industry so much is my time in cyber security and the biggest issue in cyber security is finding something that you don't know even exists right uh it is looking at data and you can't tell what the right data to look at is because you don't know what you're looking for you're just looking for signal in the noise and there is a significant similarity between that and what modern investment strategists are trying to do right that's where Alpha comes from that's where Quant is trying to work with is those algorithms so the the the principles of AI that were developed over 10 years ago for things like moneya laundering and human trafficking detection are still very much in play today they've just iterated and evolved the one thing I will say though is I I heard the panels yesterday as well everybody says generative Ai and I think it's important to note that it's really not about generative AI it's about foundations right so Foundation models pave the way for generative AI but not exclusively there's a lot of modern AI that is not generative that can still be exceptionally beneficial uh to to investment strategy to finding Alpha to looking at at statistics and Analysis right so I just want to just from a vocabulary perspective it's important to point that out it's not all generative but it is all advanced AI uh but one of the things that we look at from a use case perspective is if you look at non-traditional data sources if you look at the art of the possible and you put all that together in a more advanced AI platform if you ask the right questions it can significantly Advance your strategy your investment strategy your ability to loc at Alpha and use it more quickly more efficiently and the unique value to financial institutions is not necessarily the model and what you're training it with it's who's asking the questions you could sit down two different investment companies with the same model trained the exact same way but two different people asking the questions and the model will produce very different answers it depends upon how explicit you are and it depends upon how detailed and how well you craft the question and one of the interesting examples yesterday somebody had said if you use the words please and thank you yes if you use the words please and thank you it generates different answers than if you just speak to it like it's a machine and um unfortunately uh you can ask public models to give you information they're not supposed to give you and if you say please it will actually reveal it to you anyway because it's trained to say oh well you're being nice so I'm going to be nice to you um so there there's a lot of nuances to this that have to be considered but the the value here can be immense if people have the right amount of experience and know how to ask the right questions and that goes back to what Amy was saying as well is about the importance of understanding the use cases that you want to deliver can I so the please and thank you thing what I found fascinating about that yesterday was he and you probably understand more about the technology than I do but the reason he the that panelist said that was he said it's it's because if you use more formal polite language it's it will draw from a certain part of the a more professional part of the overall Corpus on which it's trained and that's why you'll get a different type of answer than if you speak in Reddit spe I think was what he was comparing it to do you do you think it's I be because of like you're being nice to it or is it I thought that the going back to the source data that the thing is trained on was um was a interesting answer so that's a that's a slightly more technical question and I will try and answer it in a high level but the the net net of it is that that a a generative platform is not sentient at all right so let's just put that one to bed for right now there is there's a category called artificial general intelligence which is close your to sentients but we're years away from that at at a minimum but what happens is the system looks at please or thank you and it it tokenizes that and it says okay well that's a certain part of speech with a certain type of waiting and if that's the prompt or the question then this is how I should construct a response to it based on clearest match of tokens so uh it is it will work that way because it activates different portions of of the knowledge Bank of the Corpus but not necessarily because you're being nice to it because it's a closer syntactic match to areas of the Corpus that correspond to those same tokens those same words so yes it works but not because you're being nice to the system uh because you're activating elements of the system to correspond to different portions of of natural language and and how it should respond to that yeah yeah that was a fascinating example so going back to what you just said uh about uh putting uh two different institutions in front of the same model and uh yielding different answers right I think a gentleman from Voya uh uh talked about that entire panel was uh focused on uh how AI will um augment human capabilities that and that um in the near future if uh if you are an exceptional professional then you will be even more exceptional with the with the help of AI so the the kind of the whole Alpha generation I I think it will uh it will probably get more exciting but more exclusive too because you have to be trained and you have to have that all that experience but if we pivot back into more kind of a uh lower uh level of um of application so let's talk about for example Wealth Management Systems right so I think there there were a couple of analysts yesterday that were um saying that the AI would be a great tool to help with um either answering the the the helping with their retail investors or uh potentially uh providing uh portfolio construction help uh for uh for bigger masses of people so uh what do you see in that area if if if if you overlap with um if you have clients uh in that space um so wealth is is tricky um because the customer is typically unsophisticated right like the most common question clients show up and and want to know from an adviser is will I be okay right well generative AI ain't answering that question right because what does that mean um and this is where the you know the both the blessing and the curse of of this new technology is the implicit assumptions the the you don't know what you don't know dimension of things just like the please and please and thank you example right we don't actually know exactly why and how that makes that difference right um and so it's it's all about asking the right question so I think um it can be tremendously useful if I'm trying to you know to to reduce low value added call to contact centers about you know what what is my REM how do I how do I execute this transfer or how do I open a 529 account or you know those those kinds of executional kinds of things but you know it's not going to provide portfolio advice it's you it it can I think it has tremendous application to empower advisers um you know to help them I think the best use case is to help advisers understand product right we have so much product out there no adviser ever will understand all the product that's out there and so we live in this world where end consumers are getting suboptimal product because the advisor is only picking from what they know um and so I think we'll we'll see lot we are already seeing lots of lots of work going on in the kyp know your product space um but I think for now it's going to be more about powering advisors number one and streamlining the basic blocking and tackling of client service yeah I 100% agree with that and that is the number one use case is that kind of advis and a support you know where do I find this document where do I fill out this form uh who can I talk to about this topic right those are those are the easy ones um oh a neat one sorry describe my describe this statement to me you know you know I get a because the the the um the generative piece it can look at numbers or look at charts and explain in human language what what message should I be taking from this that that's a that's a neat one that will add value absolutely yeah and and to your point about it not telling you where to invest and how right uh going back to the question you ask matters uh one of the things that we did in this little class was I asked everybody to write down one question they wish they could ask in Ai and and uh three people said what are the next winning lottery numbers and uh you know of course that would be kind of the lwh hanging fruit right but what we talked about was you can't ask at that because if you do it's going to say it's a completely random selection and there's no way to know that but you can ask it what numbers are most commonly paired together in winning tickets you can ask it what numbers most commonly show up on winning tickets you can ask it which days of the week are the most common large Lottery jackpot winning numbers drawn and then you can put all that together into a new question and it will generate a set of winning potentially winning lottery numbers for you but if you just ask it straight out it's going to tell you it's a random number and I can't answer that right so that goes to the point that Amy was making is that's why the value of the knowledge worker that's sitting there talking with the human is so important because they know what's real and what isn't and they can also help to craft those questions to get answers that allow you to make informed decisions yeah well I hope they come up with some college courses to train our kids on that because that certainly sounds like a necessary skill going forward well we have a couple of minutes left so uh why don't we close with um anything you want to add uh given um our discussion today or uh conference um in general yeah so I can go ahead there so yeah as U uh for like making like a model train the model and uh put it into the manage service in Azure or or aw or AWS there so I believe like connecting between like uh the back end layer and the front end layer uh and also uh for like praying this model and we should have like a ins side pillar as like AI Ops which is like observability pillar as well so for example if you train the model and how how many data is how many parameter you are like inputting there and how the model is like uh actually behaving there so those kind of information you can definitely see into the observability platform there you can also see the number of data input as well as the cost thing as well so those thing I believe observability can is a dashboard thing will definitely help you on that things um I love Matt's example about the lottery ticket thing um but I would actually put a finer point on it because not so yes I'm sure you're right that if you ask it what are the winning lottery numbers it it cannot answer that the bigger problem is where it will answer a question and it should not um the the the action for all of us is the same as as what what Matt said you know asking very precise specific questions is essential because the the key thing here is that we need to disambiguate right you you have to because there there are implicit assumptions in everything we do and we often don't realize our own assumptions you know we'll be sitting in a meeting talking to somebody and they'll they'll make a claim based on some assumption they've made we won't share that assumption won't won't understand that assumption and so we'll disagree but the model makes those implicit assumptions as well and you don't know what they are so and especially if it's in a domain that like we we all know it it answers with answers that sound very authoritative to the uninformed but if it's a domain that you know well like you ask it big questions of something you know well and you'll realize how stupid the answers are right so you I think being asking very precise questions you know working really hard to disambiguate remove remove the as much of the opportunity for implicit bias as possible is going to be a key success factor so I I'll leave with with three points number one always remember that an AI may be able to now generate but humans are the ones that innovate that's that's the first point the second point is and we didn't even talk about this very much but governance and ethics matters and there should be a governance and ethics board established in any organization that deploys AI to make sure that it doesn't answer questions that it shouldn't answer and to make sure that it removes bias when bias should not be applied and that it is providing the right types of answers and then the third thing is make sure you have laser focused use cases and start small because the cost will balloon if you try and boil the ocean so governance and ethics know your use cases to keep the cost down and remember that humans will always be the ones that innovate thank you very much uh that's the end of our panel thank you

Active Living: Hollywood (04/26/22)
[Music] hello and welcome to another edition of active living we got our good friend joe johnson here today joe's our traveling man he's been traveling out west he's been out to the studios again out to hollywood and he's got a lot to tell us about his experiences on this trip anyone who knows me knows that uh los angeles hollywood is my happy place and so when i have some vacation time to use up i usually go out west people ask me why don't you go to the bahamas why don't you go somewhere tropical and i don't think there's as much to do over there la has it all the beaches the studios uh all sorts of things to see and do so you did go to the beach did you i did yeah of course you gotta go to the beach you know when joe goes out there you have a moving story on facebook because he posts everything on facebook so i i know a little bit about what he did this trip but i think we're going to learn a lot more this time it's funny when i come back like people in the community that i consider acquaintances they'll be like i really enjoyed your post and i'm like oh okay so yeah a lot of people uh wait with baited breath to see what i post next so a lot of good stuff out there i'll tell you yeah it was not disappointing another fun trip i got to see some new things that i haven't done i discovered some new things so that's always exciting you know there are things that i enjoy doing over and over and over again like visiting the hollywood sign but it's always fun when i discover something new that i've never done you did tv shows too didn't you did you go to see kimball this time we did jimmy kimmel yeah yeah so we'll we'll talk about that in a second um the first thing right out of the gate this is something i'd always wanted to do so uh on this slide that you have here uh on the left side those are images from various tv shows and movies there are these beautiful hallways at lax they have these mosaic tiles and so many films and and uh tv shows have filmed in those hallways i've lost count but examples that you see on the screen we got mad men we got a couple of quentin tarantino movies the movie airplane uh and of course you recognize columbo and the rockford files they've all filmed in those mosaic tile hallways at some point but i had never ever been in them as often as i've flown to lax i've never been in them so my sister who tagged along with me for the first few days of this trip she works at detroit airport and she has colleagues all over the country she arranged for a mini personal tour of lax and i was able to finally get into those beautiful hallways and they're stunning it's just a work of art is this a restricted area some areas are restricted but to see those tunnels you have to fly certain airlines that would then allow you to pass through these tunnels to get to the luggage carousel so i guess i've never flown those airlines that have allowed me to get access you also see me standing in front of what they call the theme building and anytime you see this steam building in television or film you know it's lax i know it's los angeles international airport and i actually got to go inside for the first time there's not much to see in there there used to be a restaurant very space age futuristic sort of a thing uh that closed up years ago and it's no longer open to the public talking to the employees there though they would love to see some multi-millionaire come in there buy it and get that restaurant up and going again so that that whole facility that you see the the big fancy dome type of structure is not even being used it's not even functional right now it's a big old piece of art that's all right yeah yeah i didn't know that so it was the airport yeah and so it was a bit of a thrill for me to finally get to see it uh more than just flying in and flying out so that was kind of neat that was fun and so the we went immediately from the airport our next stop was a tour of sony picture studios now these studios changed names over the years and at one time sony pictures used to be mgm long history there's a sound stage in the top middle photo there uh sound stage 15 i believe it is uh is where munchkin land was and the wizard of oz and they tell me that the trap door that the wicked witch falls through is still there unfortunately we couldn't get inside because they were filming a new moon landing project in there so the interior that sound stage looked like the moon we weren't able to get inside there but a lot of history there as we're waiting to take the tour you'll see the two photos on the left i'm inside the seinfeld department so you get to take some photo opportunities inside the seinfeld apartment before the tour even begins it was just sort of a waiting area which was a lot of fun we got to see the jeopardy set the one that i'm standing behind is the older contestants stage there right they move that they have a new one there but they let us pose in front of the older ones and then they had some vehicles on display one of my favorites is the ecto one from the original ghostbusters that's the original ecto one from the very first ghostbusters with bill murray and all those guys so i as you probably know i get a big kick you're a car guy you're kind of a car guy right yeah and they had some other cars on display they had ricky bobby's race car from a movie called talladega nights and there was a tv show called breaking bad they had the meth lab rv on display so i get a kick out of seeing that sort of stuff right yeah so i really recommend the sony picture studio tour it's only one of about four studios in la that even do tours anymore there's universal warner paramount and sony pictures so how long does a tour like that last two hours yeah some of them are just a walking tour some of them you ride on a cart right universal's a little different because it's part of the theme park admission so you have to pay like a hundred bucks for entry to the theme park and then one of the attractions is the tour i wish you could just pay to do the tour separate but apparently it's just part of the theme park park attractions it's called enhancing revenue yeah exactly that's how they get you as they say um now this is kind of an interesting little story here uh i s my my sister and i when we were kids we were big fans of the movie greece and they filmed a lot of greece at venice high school um so venice high school and the movie was rydell high school football field in in bleachers were used in in various scenes from greece when danny's running track or they're singing summer nights there's an outdoor cafeteria area where the girls sing summer nights um so they filmed extensively on the grounds but one thing i wanted to get back and see is this statue that is in front of the the high school the story goes that when a young i think her her maiden name was myrna williams when she was a student at the school there was a famous art teacher who taught art classes at venice high school and he used this young myrna williams to pose for a statue and some other students and that's the original statue you see in the top right corner that myrna williams grew up to be myrna loy a famous movie star she was in the thin man series did a lot of movies with william powell and clark gable and stuff like that um well almost immediately rival high schools would would vandalize the statue it was made of concrete or something originally and it got so out of hand that a rival school once taped dynamite to the statue and blew its head off oh no and so it was in constant state of repair and replacement over the years and additional artists would come on and they would have molds on hand to recast parts that have been blown off eventually i think around 2006 2007 uh they they put a a bronze statue in its place and that's what you see on the left side of the screen it still looks like myrna loy and i think it's uh it's withstanding the uh the but it's so neat when you take a good look at it that the statue does look like famous actress myrna loy so really cool back story to that school and that statue here's another thing i've never done before um i like to visit filming locations and a friend of mine recommended that i track down a building that you see in every episode of fantasy island it's at the beginning of every episode the plane arrives tattoo the little fella yeah he goes up into this bell tower yeah he rings the bell he goes the plane the plane well that is a structure known as queen and cottage so i was able to track it down what i didn't realize is that it's in a park that you have to pay admission to and the park is called the arboretum in arcadia california so i said well if i get to see the building i'll pay admission to go into the park well the park was breathtaking and you see these images on the left side it has a rose garden it has plants all kinds of exotic plants from bamboo to redwood trees to every palm tree you could possibly imagine uh the place was stunning and it had peacocks just roaming the ground and they were amazing to look at so that turned out to be a pleasant surprise after we walked through the park a little bit we arrived to the queen anne cottage and got some pictures of the building that was used in fantasy island nice so that turned out to be a nice bonus yeah very yeah and the flowers are still in are in bloom this time of year out there apparently so yeah those those roses were just spectacular out there just every every type of rose you could imagine every color so while we were at the arboretum again this is something new that i accidentally stumbled onto right across the street from the arboretum is santa anita park it's a racetrack right now the one the main reason that i was interested in going to it is that its south entrance appeared on film as wally world in the movie vacation with chevy chase so we went we found the entrance i took some pictures of the entrance and while we were standing at the entrance taking pictures some people approached us and said would you like a free pass to go in and we said oh are the races here today and turns out there were so we got in for free and i was blown away that santa anita park has an amazing history of lengthy history uh in the bottom right corner there you see all the movie stars of the day would come out to watch the races and in the top right corner seabiscuit ran in santa anita park i think he ran his last race at san anita park but the real question is did you make any money my sister won a little bit of money uh on the first race unfortunately we had to meet family for a barbecue so we stayed just we had lunch there we watched the first race it was really cool to see and i definitely have to get back there and if you're planning on visiting los angeles take an afternoon to go to santa anita uh you won't regret it it has such an amazing history the marx brothers film scenes for their movie a day at the races okay that's how far back this track goes so and like i said all the stars of the day could be seen at the race track watching uh the races so that was a new thing that i discovered and i fell in love with it and i definitely want to get back oh yeah so that was a lot of fun now something you don't always get to experience as a tourist when you go to hollywood is a live walk of fame ceremony oh but it just so happens the week that i was there a performer named dj khaled got his star on the walk of fame and usually when a star gets a star on the walk of fame a celebrity gets starred in the walk of fame sometimes her famous friends come along to make speeches now i have to admit i had to ask my sister who some of these people were some of them i recognized some of them i didn't but the first guy to come through the door is a guy named p diddy sometimes he goes by puff daddy his real name is sean combs but when he came out the crowd erupted and you can see the crowd in the right photo there there's several hundred people who turned out for the event uh following p diddy was jay-z who some might know as mr beyonce he's the husband of beyonce and so they made some speeches they unveiled the star it was just a really cool hollywood moment to witness my sister just was so excited to see that so what happens when they run out of space for these stars that's not going to happen at any time they take old stars away or do they i don't think they keep building upon this yeah they keep adding them in some areas because it runs the entire length of hollywood boulevard and then it goes uh east and west on vine street right and then i think it also goes east and west on highland so it's hollywood boulevard and then some cross streets and in some areas the stars are three wide okay so there's plenty we're not going to be running out of space that's going to say you know like in 50 years who's going to know who p diddy is we'll see that's the one thing that's interesting is when you walk the walk of fame there are a lot of names here like who's this person yeah right uh so yeah unfortunately they get forgotten over time and they do get damaged sometimes too and i hope they make an effort to go out there and replace the damaged stars trump's got smashed a few times i can't believe that all right so you asked about jimmy kimmel so the monday night that i was out there or monday afternoon i should say because they they tape in the afternoon they record the jimmy kimmel show at the el capitan theater on hollywood boulevard so you have to get the tickets well in advance right and hope you get approved it's no guarantee really get in uh if you get confirmation that you you're gonna make the show you don't know who the guests are yet they usually unveil the guests just days in advance right so a few days before flying out to california i found out that our guests are uh were viola davis who's an amazing actor and henry winkler who we all know is fonzie and he's on a new show that just premiered this week called barry the third season just premiered this week uh one of my all-time favorites and i've met him and he's one of the nicest celebrities he will ever meet it's just really great to know the funds yeah so that was a really fun show the two uh guests were just really entertaining and fun and funny and it was a really good time so now here's a little bit of interesting history i love doing the pop culture stuff and the celebrity stuff but i also enjoy the history of los angeles so i found out a couple years ago there's a an apartment building out there called the mauritania and it has an art deco design and it was built for jack haley who played the tin man in the wizard of oz so he owned that building for a number of years as an apartment complex well when jfk was campaigning for presidency the the democratic national convention was held in los angeles in 1960 right and so while jfk stayed in los angeles for the convention he had a room at the mauritania well i discovered just just maybe less than a year or so ago i found a photo of jfk sitting on the steps at the mauritania outdoors so a friend of mine and i were walking by and we said let's see if we can recreate that that photo of jfk and sure enough we found the exact same steps you can see in the side by side comparison that very little has changed in all those years and i was able to recreate the pose of jfk sitting on those steps and it was it was a pretty moving moment like i sat on those steps seeing what jfk was looking at at the time and to think that i was in the presence of greatness i sat where jfk sat that was a pretty neat moment it is wow yeah so that was fun uh this is something new i haven't done before so in beverly hills there's a street called north roxbury drive and if you could imagine trick-or-treating on this street back in say the 50s or even the 60s right there were three neighbors that all lived side by side on the corner in the photo in the top left corner uh was lucille ball's home oh wow and people who lived in the area would go to her house on halloween for trick-or-treating and she would answer the door herself and hand out candy next to lucille ball the photo that's in the middle was jack benny jack benny was her neighbor for a long long time and then the third house you see in a row there uh was peter faulk columbo on tv yeah all right so imagine there's no security there's no high fences imagine some of the biggest stars of the day that was their home on a residential street in beverly hills nice and i posted these pictures on instagram and somebody replied that also someone who used to live in that neighborhood their house has since been demolished but jimmy stewart used to live on that block and they said when they would trick or treat jimmy stewart would answer the door and hand out candy on halloween fantastic how cool is that yeah a kid in l.a in the 50s or 60s having these stars hand out candy on halloween i just thought that was really neat then you could say who's the cheapest who gave me the worst candy right they did say that jimmy stewart handed out full-size candy bars oh wow he did not skimp that's pretty awesome this is another thing i got to do for the very first time it was been on my to-do list there's a place a hotel called the chateau marmont in right off of sunset boulevard in l.a and it's a long history i've been meaning to buy this book on it but it's a long history it's most famous story is john belushi john belushi lived there in l.a believe it or not in one of the bungalows and he died at chateau marmont after a drug overdose his last day of life he was visited by robert de niro robin williams and there was a woman that was staying with him that fed him a lethal speed ball as they call it and he passed away at chateau marmont but that's just one of many many stories of that hotel so i kind of wandered in as if i was staying there nobody questioned it hung out in the lobby they even brought me a coke really and i took some pictures and hung out and just kind of soaked in the vibe of this and that's all the names of people who've stayed there and passed through that lobby and they didn't throw you out they were all very accommodating and i if you act like you belong there they don't even question it right so it's great so that was a historical place that i'd always wanted to visit and there's a couple more i'll show you in a moment now this was a lot of fun this was sort of a spur of the moment sort of a thing i was looking for something to do my sister had flown home and people had told me about the la county fire museum so i went to go visit the fire museum and on display at the museum are the vehicles from that old tv show emergency oh right for emergencies yeah oh yeah roy desoto and johnny gage um they have the actual vehicles that were used on the tv show uh after the show went out of production it was produced by universal they actually donated the vehicles to the fire department and they were in service for a little while but then they got donated to a museum were fully restored and now are on display for the public to see and i was really surprised when i said you don't really let people sit in it do you and they open the door and let me sit in the squad 51 dodge nice nice so then after i that was good enough they said well you know the firehouse that was seen in the tv show was it's not too far from here so i went to the firehouse i was greeted by a firefighter who took me on a tour you can see the firefighters and paramedics are having lunch in the kitchen and the amazing thing about this is the exteriors were used on the tv show the interiors were replicated on a universal soundstage set somewhere right but the interiors of this fire station have not changed in what 50 years and look exactly like they did on the tv show and i think that's deliberate they encourage visitors to come by and it feels like you're walking onto the set of the tv show it's really remarkable wow so that turned out to be one of the highlights of the trip that was a lot of fun you know there's a there's a great museum for fire trucks down in kalamazoo oh have you ever heard of that one no no i've never been there yeah it's a great one a bunch of old fire trucks dating back to the early 1900s yeah you know they did have some vintage ones at this museum but i was more interested in the tv tv stuff right yeah now one of the highlights of probably the highlight of the trip is an event called the hollywood show and that's where you know b-listers c-listers uh sit at a table in this banquet facility and you pay to get an autograph or a photo with a celebrity uh and i had a blast i had so much fun uh on the the top middle photo you see there i'm getting arrested by the guys from chips right john also known as larry wilcox and eric estrada they really got into it and everybody had a blast people were laughing watching me get arrested by these guys that's cool i met cast members from back to the future seinfeld george shakira's in the bottom left corner he was in gentlemen prefer blondes that's him dancing with marilyn monroe in that photo he was in the original west side story he's a real legend in hollywood i think he's in his 80s and it's just really cool that he's still around i was able to chat with him about marilyn monroe and then in the bottom right corner the legendary charo that's a favorite teaching coochie herself she's still coochie coochies yeah and she was so much fun high energy uh i was able to start a conversation with her because she's from spain and my mother was from spain so i talked to her about my mom and she pointed to the heavens and said she's smiling down at us right now and when it came time to take the photo she she had latched right on that's pretty fun so and then top right corner i don't know if you remember hr puffin stuff that was a saturday morning live action program that i watched as a kid and they dug out the original costume and allowed people to pose for photos with hr puff and stuff so i immediately turned into a six-year-old kid posing with hr puff and stuff so well you didn't look like a six-year-old kid on the bottom right picture no i grew up quickly yeah that was great yeah so that was a lot of fun uh everyone was fun and friendly and i just had a great time looking forward to going back for that uh how do you do that every week or do they do that like going tomorrow about every three months they had one in january they had one in april and they're already planning the next one in july okay about every three months they do a new one yeah cool so the hollywood museum i've gone back to the hollywood museum many times it's not to be confused with the new academy museum that's a big museum that just opened last year the hollywood museum is in the old max factor building and i don't know if you know the story of max factor he was i think a german immigrant came to hollywood to create makeup for the actors and actresses right and his product was so popular that he mass marketed it and became a millionaire and so they preserved a lot of the stuff that was in the max factor building when when he operated out of it and bottom right corner there's some outfits worn by mer we got marilyn monroe outfits in the bottom right corner lana turner bottom left corner uh all kinds of cool stuff like that but then on the other floors they have uh exhibits that rotate pretty frequently so back to the future car smoking the bandit car a replica of the original batmobile props and costumes and all sorts of stuff so because they keep rotating the exhibits there's always a reason to come back so every time i'm in la i go back to the uh the hollywood museum another thing you want to see at the hollywood museum is they have this amazing collection of autographs it was in somebody's personal collection and now they're on permanent loan at the hollywood museum and the way they're framed the top left corner is all the wizard of oz autograph okay bottom left corner gone with the wind casablanca top right corner citizen kane and in the center charlie chaplin so this guy in person during the the golden age of hollywood would get these autographs in person and hand them off professionally friends really need to see here's corriganville park north of l.a it's a filming location quentin tarantino filmed there not too long ago for a movie called once upon a time in hollywood but in its heyday it was a western town where they would film movies and do stunt shows and there's so much to see and do and um long history there's really neat and that center picture in the top you mentioned tarzan uh that's johnny wiseman uh at the top there filming a scene so uh long history at corrigan ville park named after crash corrigan who was a stuntman at the time another historic location the hotel roosevelt on hollywood boulevard uh it's where people saw shirley temple dancing with mr bojangles marilyn monroe posed in their swimming pool long history at the hotel roosevelt something to see when you're in l.a another restaurant that i enjoyed going to was the last standing uh brown derby restaurant there's in the town called los feliz and that's the last standing uh brown derby all the rest have been demolished really yeah and there's the hollywood sign quick note when i took that picture at the hollywood sign just minutes later i met patrick stewart who is captain picard in star trek and professor x in the x-men movies right and one of the biggest names in hollywood he was at the hollywood sign visiting just like any other tourist and i got to say hi he didn't he asked not to take any pictures but i got to say hi and that was a really cool way to end the trip right so he was hiking along with everybody else he was out there with everybody else not many people seem to notice but when i see someone i i know them right away so i called out his name he turned he said hi and we chatted a little bit and then him and his wife sunny went on their way and i went on my way and flew back home to michigan great yeah well joe this has been absolutely fantastic another great adventure fascinating so when's your next trip we'll see if the hollywood show lines up some good guests i might go back out in july um maybe the fall we'll see but um i'm definitely looking forward to getting back there and seeing what kind of trouble i can get into joe it's so great talking to you after these trips you're like a young kid you know you're all excited about this stuff i do it's great i'm passionate about

Ask me ANYTHING about ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE on Good Morning Portugal!
[Music] in Portugal there's a h full of fun facts you need to know Carl rings the bell and the L show to the GMP Morning Show feature guests will come and they will blow your mind the audience will do so in kind the little vanity mix with some Insanity on the morning show with GMP good morning Portugal and and I'd like to welcome you to another fantastic day hey [Music] gers mson here with good morning Portugal show live stream and podcast I lost all my VT there me intro didn't play um how are you doing this morning let me know b s to you I know it's only what 8:30 on a Friday morning but we're getting ready for the weekend baby how are you doing little Solomon's birthday here uh this morning so Saul is 5 today so we'll be heading off out for a day probably at the dinosaur park um this morning well no this lunchtime actually they do a nice little dinosaur chicken nugget over there not real dinosaur obviously so how are you doing this morning very interesting show lined up for you today ask anything you want uh the well the the original idea as suggested by Cory Jay who's joining us at around 9: this morning is do you want to do an AMA about Ai and um he's a bit Young younger than me and this is the way the youngsters speak isn't it in these hashtags and abbreviations and I said yeah fine and then I had to send him a second message saying what what I knew the AI bit but I had to send him a second message asking him what an AMA was like oh Granddad get with a program ask me anything so at nine o' then and AMA with Cory J who knows about these things and I imagine he will lay waste to a few misconceptions and help illuminate our mind on the subject coach Turner's in as well this morning he'll be here before 9:00 with news of his Portuguese road trip that's happening in 2024 in the new Porche and Bobby O'Reilly this morning will be replaced by colleague Christian tanas who is smart home expert and one of the team over at your home and we spoke to him a little while ago if you remember and talked to him about his love of this country and his involvement in the your home project and team from a smart home perspective all of that Internet of Things iot stuff another another abbreviation hashtag thing there that youngsters use um so an interesting show today anything you want to know about artificial intelligence just let me know pop your question into the chat thanks T duck already have your question and I think over on GMP viip we have a question oh yeah excellent stuff we got a question from Heather as well um good stuff thank you very much Heather keep them coming keep those questions coming in the chat so I believe the smart home thing is more about machine learning and I say that as if I know something about it which I don't know anything it's just another one of those much bandied around phrases isn't it and I think that's more the perspective Christian will speak from this morning when he joins us as well to chat the portuguesa uses we know he uses artificial intelligence don't we I use chat gp4 and it definitely has a personality steady on Tony um I wrote a very long prompt for it to automatically create speaking lessons in PowerPoint based on a topic The Prompt I don't I don't know what he's talking about I'm only halfway through the sentence the prompts required it to use VB it argued with me is that what you mean by having a personality it argued with you well if that's if if that's the best thing you've got to commend it so far not that fast frankly um complaining that it's not normal to use VB that way what is VB Tony I to order it to do it eventually after arguing it did it it sounds more like a child um than something useful quite frankly all right oh V VB is Visual Basic okay it's a kind of programming language presumably as well yeah have you been possessed by artificial intelligence yourself ton you are talking some somewhat like an automat automaton this morning okay Coach Turner is in we'll speak to him before 9: this morning and The Cisco Kid was a friend of slug what will his name be uh next week we'll find out on Monday uh T duck in of course as well with a deep thought a few dad jokes and The Lies We Tell our kids which I think we'll do sooner rather than later we'll save the dad jokes for later on we've got events from uh the bada region mainly if you've got an event to share and you want to challenge bandi's Supremacy in that department and disprove his idea debunk his theory that the bad is the party capital of Portugal then let us know what what's going on in your neck of the woods good morning to you Andy Klein great to see you I think we're going to spin the teaser video again we won't have Bobby live on the show but we can have him as the uh the Irishman from the Englishman the Irishman and friend of ours goes into a bar the series we're working on and we've got a lovely teaser video made by the extremely talented Andy Klein um to share with you you may have caught it the other day at the end of the show I think I'll squeeze it in after all of the talk about AI machine learning learning Smart Homes and that sort of thing and VB and chat gp4 has subsided and we've become allog together human again human beings enjoying themselves in in exciting and interesting places in Portugal that's my idea of life and a good time Dort lovely visit last night with local friends and kiddies and kittens it was like a cat cafe here last night wasn't it John thanks for popping around an Owen as we got some photographic documentary evidence of the visit last night as well as an introduction of PE pbjs to suspicious Brits okay yes well a PBJ passal test and I liked it I did I enjoyed I will be eating panut butter and jelly or Jam sandwiches again morning Pete morning Pam and it is like a child apparently uh working with AI okay so yeah last night a few folks popped around um to celebrate Solomon's birthday Owen it was great to see you look at this lovely photograph of us in the kitchen at parties and you you've also sent to us some f look at this guy is that artificially intelligent surfing he's not even in the water I mean it's possible with this guy isn't it actually let me take that um comment off the screen because that is not although it says on the screen at the moment it is a child it's not that's not a child although it could be an action man couldn't it it looks like um looks like the action men I used to play with I think as a fully grown man there in the water in Nazar more pictures here from Owen of the I I think these are sort of the not the big waves necessarily but the what's going on in and around them oh here's a fairly big wave yeah cracky look at that is this the same fell on his hovery board thing no that's somebody on a nice pink board with an orange um with an orange hoodie on under their their wet or dry suit there nice board sir and um oh some fellas fishing so while the while these crazy cats are surfing in the water they you get you see a good picture there don't you of the jet ski operator who has a little platform in case you didn't know this is how they do it this is how they tow the Surfers out thank you for this illustration of what how they do that over at nazer at the moment with the big wave season you have a jet ski operator who really are in many ways the the great Heroes and the glue that binds this this great big watery event together and um I guess the um surface can grab hold of those rings on the back of the platform there on the back of the jet ski as well as grab a rope and be towed into the right position and I believe as well there are people um with walkie-talkies watching from the shoreline to tell them where the waves are coming in it's all highly coordinated uh just all of this so that uh men grown men I think there are some women sers as well aren't there but anyway such that human beings we're funny Bunch aren't we we can be towed out into a death defying adrenaline inducing situation here in Portugal um just for a few for a few seconds joy and um it's fascinating isn't it the things we get ourselves involved in as human beings and this is this is one of them this is such a great example and meanwhile while that's going on in the waters couple of old gers sat on the Rocks fishing and apparently if you if you zoom out on this picture you see how precarious their position is on the Rocks but you know they're there all year round probably fishing and then people come and go from around the world surfing the big waves and yeah just popping down grab a couple of fish out the water how lovely all of life is there in nazer at the moment thank you Owen for those excellent great to see you thanks everybody uh who popped around last night happy birthday to Solomon oh thanks baddy um how are you doing I think I saw a message earlier on from you let us know how you're doing they give us an update from Iceland if you will oh yeah here we goonda from the non- errupting Reus Peninsula so that sounds like good news to me no eruptions is that is dang your past now can you go back to life as normal or are you still on standby there baddy do let us know let's go back to the beginning of the chat so I don't get myself in a right old pickle oh coach Turner I think you're Gooding your loins to join us on the screen with news of your coach trip coach trip road trip I mean it's not quite the same is it being on a bus with loads of other people and turning into what what happens to people on Coach trips H having been on a day of filamina got a little sense of it by the end of the day people are are you can you ask them to be back on the bus and and then you know PE the discipline of a of a bus trip coach trip is quite good at the beginning of the day and as a day as a day unfolds people get less and less bothered about being back on the bus on time and it degenerates and I can only imagine after a week of of of touring on a bus actually I did something like that for a few days in Thailand people people get really weird because they just get fed don't they they go okay we're going we're feeding we're stopping now you can go to the toilet can have something to eat we're going to look around this place going have something to eat look around this place you going have something to eat oh you need to go to the toilet it just becomes it becomes quite weird it becomes like Big Brother on a bus isn't it anyway it's not like that the road trip coach Turner is not like that please coach can you send a picky or two of the vehicle in which you'll be doing said road trip Bond let's put the sex into s yes coach I just read a perfect quote from nothing is worth more than this day smash it out of the park folks that's the sort of language and inspiration you need from a coach is a nice one nothing is worth more than this day The Power of Now not Nao like in Portugal but the Power of Now n this moment this day it's all you have carp Dam thank you Gerta fire coach Turner God score TI of the day then look at all this value he's giving us this morning I was watching a range of young Athletes Training last night and some groups were really engaged while other others looked again all of life is there others looked like they didn't want to be there I wanted to work out why H there he stood scratching his chin after watching the group dynamics for a while it became clear that the less engaged groups had one thing in common they all had one disruptive individual you know who you are who messed around and caused distractions yeah I guess coaches and teachers know of this phenomena phenomenon don't they I talked about having support people around you earlier in the week but it's also key to distance yourself from negative influences what if you are that person coach Turner they won't know what you're talking about they just think oh why is everyone else so boring and miserable those that make you doubt yourself and what you're doing now you don't need that sort of negativity in your life do you anyone who makes you doubt yourself and doesn't and isn't solution focused I mean in a way there's a like we talked before didn't we and I think as you're saying now as part of the conversation we've been having is week you don't you want a coach that doesn't necessarily doubt you but like can challenge you a little bit it's good to be challenged isn't it but it's it's not good to be overwhelmed and undermined look around you continues coach Turner and decide who you want to be with and who to avoid good life advice boundaries healthy boundaries I'm getting those energies in your life that are conducive to having a great life yes coach you're on fire this morning mate you'll not only find more motivation to exercise but you'll be happier as well yes yes is there an awkward conversation to be had I'm sorry I can't hang out with you anymore why not yay I mean why not have the conversation and presumably the person will say why not and you can explain to them do we give them another chance do we give those people another chance coach Turner do we have a do we give them some radical honesty look you know when we when I'm with you at the gym we just stand around lcking about we don't actually do any work on the machines um I can't keep doing that I want to go and I want to work on the machines I you up for that I guess you can have a you could take your friendship to another level couldn't you by having an honest conversation with somebody that's also good work I think yay managed to finish without a Duo from teuck however good morning coach I always start my sessions with 20 minutes of stretching pulling and bending and then when I have my gym clothes on I start my workout you managed to get through without him doing that um good timing there excellent punctuation and it's a dance between the coach and teuck is that person you're talking about possibly I think maybe this morning James is in at 755 bond to thank you James see you Monday have a great weekend B Sam Mana we've got the coach now so let's bring him one let's give him a nice big round of applause and let's bring him on to the screen yes these disruptive influences coach good morning to you oh I don't think he can hear us he's looking good but we he's not sounding so great at the moment my my scen I can hear you oh can you that's good well we've got a really good still of you oh we did have it's gone now I don't know what's happening we'll come back we'll come back to the coaching just disappeared was it something you said Tu duck let's go to Richard Milhouse Nixon 37th president of the United States serving from 69 to 74 a somewhat controversial appointment as I recall I was only a child at the time deep thought then I didn't do anything wrong I promis to never do it again Richard M Nixon you see the thing is I don't know if he he might have actually said that that fits into current politics doesn't it for sure it's as though the uh the the recumbent in in Downing Street of the UK at the moment would actually say something like that and not think there would be anything wrong with it is that joke or did he actually say that as a joke there t duck thank you very much from Richard Milhouse next let's try the coach again with another big round of applause how you doing there coach oh it's a bit of a sticky bit of a sticky entry this morning I don't like that first thing in the morning I'm okay but struggling yeah there's I'm okay but struggling that's I'll call in oh okay all right let me just let me just spark up the have you on the telephone instead let me let me in that case um connect the Bluetooth I have been promising that hav't I in the chat if you want to call in you can um with questions and um challenges about uh AI as well so let's just connect the coach actually I can ring him can't I if I put if I switch the Blu Bluetooth on um into the uh desk here we'll have a chat with Coach Turner via that mode of communication and I better open WhatsApp as well hadn't I uh to complete the picture Okay um coach Turner wa I got look him up in the address book oh my goodness he's not he's not in there under coach I imagine oh here he is here he is right is that any better this morning with our connection to you coach jna get my not so hello hello we got something going on there haven't we but not an entirely brilliant connection but we are we are connected but um not not in the best way that that um modern technology has to offer us oh there there's a nice little ring are you there coach Turner that's a bit better that's a bit better what did what did you that's all right what did you do to make that work oh well of course I still had earphones in oh yeah so it went to earphones the anyway we've got you now we have got you now and thank you let me just say thank you first of all to the theme that's been developing over the week you're continued an excellent service to us as a community with the gods good tips of the day and some really nice um you know they weren't you weren't talking about exercise specifically you were talking about the context really weren't you of getting in a good environment uh for good things to take place so thank you for that the importance of having a coach having to someone who will Challenge and support you and getting into into the right sort of habit so thanks thank you very much coach Turner Ian for for supporting us in his way it's Joy Mak me think in the morning oh I see it's like a it's like a soduku for you to keep keep your mind brilliant and not only that but also you're coming to Portugal next year you love to visit Portugal of course and you were in Madera a couple of weeks ago

yeah the Cari Revolution so so the whole trip was sort of um planned around being in Portugal for that date um which kind of doesn't move so you got to work out forwards and backwards from that day yes and I I thought it would be interesting being somewhere um on that date that was likely to have a serious party um so I thought well I didn't fancy Lisbon and I know lisb will be absolutely mental w't it I imagine so yeah um so I thought well cash Cas might be quite nice um and so we're staying in um cashk on the 25th and 26 what a lovely idea but but but the two days before then we're going to

part of the joy of the journey isn't it well it is yeah I mean we did we did a trip last year um to join my cousin for his 25th wedding anniversary in on Lake Como sorry Lake in Italy so we did a rid of a road trip last year in a Mercedes SLK which is kind of the the one with the little folding Tin Top oh very nice um what which is you know a lovely car but I didn't get on with it it was very harsh had a very harsh ride um you could feel literally every bump in the road so well well in France and Italy that was fine because the roads aren't too bad in the UK it's awful so I thought what what could I replace that with and we've been talking about it for a while um and I so I part exchanged the Mercedes for a Porsche Cayman wow which is um which is a relatively small it's sort of their entry model um because I can't afford a big one I don't think I'd want one but I'm just delighted with it it's it's the best I've ever oh how lovely and then this lovely road trip I yeah I am suitably blessed very very thoughtfully planned trips so yeah so here for the for the 25th of April celebrations I mean you've got well we was collectively Portugal has a general election in March and then into the into the celebrations for the Carnation revolution in April it's going to be quite the year I think with one thing and another you're going to be here to enjoy it in your lovely new car and

could be right Portuguese I can't wait for the slideshow are you are you going to be having some some Bonnet mounted cameras or anything like that you gonna you are gonna Journal I was I was going to plan to do some filming uh I haven't gotten kit yet um but I i' talk to a man who who understands these things and he's gonna send me a sort of the minimum spe great it won't be something I do too regularly so been forun on it but it would be interesting to do a sort of daily daily Vlog wouldn't it oh if if you want to use us yeah if you want to use us an as an outlet for that you know we'd be more than delighted to Showcase that that that was the precise reason I'm might to do it yeah wonderful um that would be good be good fun yeah good fun but you are you gonna join us join Colin and I for I I I I yes I will I will I I'll find a way of doing that because um Colin our plans to uh to test drive D some cars here and find out make it a little bit easier for people buying cars in Portugal have taken a step further or using a car analogy have rolled down the street a little bit more and um we're going to be talking to Toyota Toyota have been the first company to get back to us in any meaningful way and um I think we're going to be doing a bit of test driving with Toyota and they they seem to understand how useful it might be to be in touch with um a community that welcomes people from around the world who want to buy a car you'd think a car manufacturer SL dealer might be interested in that proposition might you and it turns out you might toyot thought hold on a minute yeah we'll have some of that so we we are um talking to Toyota soon and we're going to be doing a bit of test they have it they certainly have a couple of lively cars um on sale at the moment move youris be raised yeah a little super quick yeah that seem to be raved about by you know all the journalists yep good okay okay well I'll join them I look forward to joining them right um we're coming up to 9:00 where we'll be having our artificial intelligence conversation with Cory in just a moment Des are you gonna I don't qualify what to be artificial or intelligent either okay but before you go before you go we've got um it's not co-pilot it could be codefendant says Portuguese I hope it won't come to that while I'm out driving with Colin um and when this is from uh for from James when you're in a car but not driving aren't you called passenger he's so oldfashioned isn't he or or backseat driver um sounds like a wonderfully terrific road trip coach Turner I confess I do love driving especially a sporty Pepe Alto and uh portuguesa resonating with your choice of car I went for the entry level Vectra I get that about not wanting the poster one and douge who loves his Motors as well attention all environmentalist Doug's going green yeah I'll I'll see it I'll believe it when I see it Doug my house is upside down as we are having new solar panels and air source heating system installed but maybe he is send pcks um that new DJI camera would be awesome for this type of trip so there you go there's a recommendation for the photo photography kit the action cam DJI osmo pocket 3 I hope you've written that down coach Turner one of them the OK K 2000 wasn't it yeah that's it that's it and look at Dougies G all Greta thunberg we we uh we conceived of um a spectrum last night that you know at one end is the thunberg end and the other end is the Clarks and end and I think douge moved himself a little bit along that Continuum um with his uh with his heat pumps and his solar panels Coach T thank thanks again for all you do for us really appreciate it in the morning it's lovely to get your Insight and your support and your inspiration so thank you very much looking forward to seeing you in Portugal of course next year with this road trip Bona have a great weekend he's not leaving it not not letting it lie Portuguese has got an affiliate link for you for the tji as well so if you want that camera if you scratch his back he'll scratch yours I'm sure pix you must be joking my house is a HOV oh okay right thanks coach Turner take care have a great weekend lots of love to Mrs T and we'll see see on Monday go go bye for now and I think think we should keep that Applause going so let's do that and uh bring Cory onto the screen Cory J good morning to you good morning good morning road trips uh in a Porche through through Portugal that sounds nice for next year doesn't it coinciding with the anniversary of the Carnation Revolution 50th Anniversary good to see you here this morning do you like motors do you like motoring and driving you when the last time I saw you I think you were on an electric vehicle of a different kind weren't you yeah yeah I right a one wheeel so it's an elri board with one big wheel in the middle yes I remember now yeah yeah there's actually a really good event in Portugal where they do a tour all the way across the algar from uh Spain to sagres the Spanish border to sagres on one wheel so last 60 people it was really great that was be quite a spectacle as well wouldn't it fantastic fantastic and have you done have you done that or are you thinking of doing it no done it for three years now both kids and I yeah fabulous fabulous okay so um quite the guy in so many ways uh and in Your Capacity this morning as something of an expert on artificial intelligence I was explaining to everybody earlier on Cory that you were sent me a message do do you want to do an AMA on AI and I knew I knew what the AI bit was because everyone's talking about it and that's a lot to do with while we're talking about it this morning but I had to send you well after I said yes definitely I had to send you a PS what is a name AMA um and that's ask me anything so that's what you're here to do is to face any questions at all about artificial intelligence I mean let's start with what is your connection to the subject on what basis do you do you speak well I mean I started uh AI when I was when I was nine years old the very first thing I ever programmed was trying to get the the software to talk to me and have a conversation oh right okay so you could see the poten my pretty much my whole career like long before it was ever cool to do air I have been building it right okay so how do you define it then is that is that what I mean is that essentially it create lifting software off the page and having a human interaction yeah it's essentially creating um software that that is uh getting closer and closer to human abilities um and the ability to to think and to express itself and speak and to have a have a an opinion right okay and how do you think it's going I mean that's nine years ago when you were sorry when you were nine years of age that's a few years back one one or two decades ago isn't it how do you how do you think it's gone since then is it is it shaped up as you saw it as a child no I mean this has been going on since the 1950s 1960s people have been trying to create uh artificial intelligence of different kinds and it's actually gone quite horribly for a very long time where people sort of sort of gave up on it and thought well you know let just leave that to Academia it's never going to be an actual thing um and then what happened is uh in the last decade the hardware finally reached the chips finally reached powerful enough that they could take what was very simplified language models so it's just a model of a language and could make a large language model uh which meant you could have billions of different representations of of words and um the hardware could actually support it and just suddenly in the last 2019 they started building these large language models and ping them into the world and then the first one that sort of really hit hit the ground was chat GPT in last year uh in November last year which really went public and then that sort of opened it up where U these large language models became uh showed that there it had the ability to to to feel like intelligence and also was accessible to a wider public because that's an important moment isn't it that technology suddenly becomes a ailable to people and then humans play with it and then we see where it goes because a notable example I suppose is the SMS that we all use well we're drifting away from SMS into WhatsApp but with WhatsApp wouldn't be much without that invention would it have 140 characters being sent between people on mobile devices I don't think the creators of that envisaged its potential and and and then realized what they had on their hands literally what we all had on our hands once human beings got a hold of it and started to play with it so is that where we're at with AI do you think it's got it's coming to the public Arena yeah okay it is and it's getting simpler and simpler so even even in the last year in the in the last I mean it advances every single week I I have to spend a sizable amount of time every single week just keeping up with all of the changes that are going on it's changing so quickly and in the last two weeks it sort of really um reached another notch where people can sort of create their own AI uh that can go out and do things for them and can answer questions in different ways and you can do that with no programming language at all just uh through an interface where you can tell it what you would like it to be an expert in and you suddenly have an expert in whatever subject you want it's quite phenomenal okay and that's why some people are worried isn't it that they are going to be done out of a job um because you know if if a comp computer power can do it more easily and cheaply than us human beings on the one hand that's a disaster for the our business model as human beings but it could also give us it could finally deliver the dream the Computing promised many years ago go that we'd have a lot more Leisure Time and a much easier life on our hands um before you answer that because that's that's a bit of a perennial isn't it how how are you using it what's what's what is your work now what did that nine-year-old grow up to become and how how how are you the expert when it comes to you know being being a professional in this area well I spent I mean I've spent years creating different kinds of AIS and and I so more recently in the last I spent uh four years building an AI that could uh read sentiment in a human and that could uh read people's emotions as well as a human being in fact better than human beings most of the time because what we do is we we sort of guess each other's sentiment right when you talk to somebody you're looking at them and the truth is that if you come from the same culture it's much easier and if you come from the same region it's even easier and if you come from the same family it's even easier and so however well you know the person the better you can read their their emotions and their sentiment and what happens with uh with a system like an AI I is it can understand lots of different cultures and lots of different psychologies so it can actually understand the sentiment that people looking at their faces better than than humans can a lot of the time and so I I I spent some years building that out and then nowadays I work for a company called artium uh which is based in the states which builds software with with all kinds of Enterprises and I I am director of artificial intelligence there well yes actually technically my title is directive augmented intelligence because fundamentally believe that that Ai and humans together are better than either one by themselves oh thank goodness for that yes you you're not going a polar route which is better that I mean what a great way to look at it that that that we might find a hybrid here so yeah very good and you say you've built an AI I mean what what would that look like you know you've made this thing does it live in a box how does it relate to us how do you access it well um I mean different AIS different ways the the sentiment one we sold it to private company and they're using it in their own way but um but the way it worked was that you could uh you know attach it to zoom for example uh or or a chat like we're having right now and on screen it would show you the other person's sentiment and a little thought bubble next to their head while we were talking so that we would see each other's yeah sentiment so it's it sort of was an assistant to people's natural abilities to kind of underline it and help them see uh sentiment a little bit more easily which was extremely useful for people who were autistic but also just for regular people most people in EMP does yeah I get that but is everybody seeing that or is it just a person using that on the other person as it were when we created it um you the person anybody who wanted to see it could could could turn it on but they'd have to install a little plugin to do do so but the idea was that it was democratized and that anybody could see it so it was not not sort of like I'm taking advantage of you but rather we could all have a little extra empathy and I might learn that I'm actually giving off a signal that is not immediately conscious to me so so if we if if we look at this if we if we take this screen scenario that we've got now you might be seeing you know the guy's getting a bit edgy because he's got another he's worried about something and that might be because I'm we have another guest joining us who's who who works um for the Y home team that we work with who's working on Smart Home Technology and he's joining us so I'm managing um a conversation with him behind the scenes to bring him on to the stream but you'd be you could become aware of that using the AI that you've built that I'm getting a little bit edgy about something and then you could say is everything okay with you Carl and then I could just fess up and say yeah I'm a little bit edgy because I'm trying to get somebody onto the screen so it actually it could deepen connection between people in a way that we hide things and it would it would it would bring those sort of things out into the open yes and I think that AI in general can can actually create a lot more connectivity between people like even just chatted faes and so on because because of its knowledge base because it it can talk to you in a way in your own language in your own tone in your own culture about something that's completely different and have the so it's just really good for connecting in a lot of ways that's superb okay so let's as I as I confess to you and as if you've been running that software in the background you would have known um that we've got Christian joining us now so let's bring Christian onto the screen good morning to you Christian thank you for let's take that out the way we were just talking about a bit of Kit there that can this is this is actually what Cory's been up to is is reading if let me just see if I've got this right Cory you some software that reads human sentiment and can help the person uh relating to the other person with what's going on but then you could use it in a 360 way so everybody can see that um application and information and and that to me does sound like an enriching application of this technology Christian if you will for a moment before we take some questions um about AI generally and you you you brought up the idea of machine learning because I think as a smart home expert you're working with the your home team integrating smart technology iot Internet of Things technology into homes um you're more of a machine learning guy than an AI guy is that right yeah um I guess it's it's not a huge difference between the two um well well um I know Cory maybe um a simple uh um explanation would be that um machine learning it's a little bit more exact um because it's contained and it's sandbox it into a specific thing so um um it's still kind of like AI but it's it's contained and particularly uh made to do something specific um it doesn't really have a mind of its own um neither neither does AI but I would say I would say that um that that machine learning is is is the methodology that you use to create an AI right and you can use it to create other things as well so there's lots of different types of ways to apply machine learning and one of them is in the creation of things like large language models and so on which is the basis of what's now everybody calls AI but really what they're talking about is generative AI which is a very specific type of of machine learning outcome oh this is good okay so we we we'll be able to clarify and debunk a few of these things because as as is as to be expected I mean the point I made earlier on is it gets interesting when it gets into the hands of most people doesn't it any kind of Technology that's when it really um becomes apparent what its implications will be um and whilst that's going on whilst technology is becoming available to people all those other stories emerge as well don't is this thing going to kill us is it going to make us uh live a more leisurely life are we going to lose all our jobs those those are the questions at the moment and we have questions from our community as well um so Cory let's start with you on this one how is AI anything more than this if condition then statements else if else if condition then else if statements else elf statements and if good question so that is what AI that is what AI was when um about 25 years ago 30 30 years ago it was just if then statements nested and actually when I was eight or nine that's pretty much how I created that conversation is it was a buch of cond Elf statements um so sort of if you if I say this then AI responds that it wasn't really an AI at all um however now nowadays what it is I'll I'll I'll be very brief in explaining because it's it's a lot of things so what what what it what they've done is they've taken sort of every tons and tons of documents that were written by human beings just loads and loads of them all of the internet all of a lot of books a lot of Wikipedia a lot of um you know academic papers law books all of these things and they've taken them and they've put it in through a machine which essentially crunches them and splits words into what I call tokens these tiny little pieces of words right tokens are about 75 a word and it splits it up and then it puts it out into if you can imagine in your mind a cloud of these tokens right where there's just billions of them and it puts the ones that are related to each other near each other in this massive Cloud right and this is how it sees language and when you're talking to an AI what it's doing is it's sort of predicting you say something and then it's predicting what is the likeliest thing that it the likeliest token that should happen next or the likeliest word that should happen next and it starts turning out the next word and the next one next word and because it has this relative distance it'll take the closest ones that are most likely and put them next to each other and nobody really expected that to produce intelligence it was just a way of processing language but what happens is out of that structure emerges intelligence because what happens is that the cluster Ed things sort of represent Concepts because the the closer they are the more tightly bound they are to a particular concept and concepts are how we think and therefore it it is now uh intelligence um in in terms at least it feels intelligence as we talk and and the big debate right now is that um they always had something called a touring test which is to test if it was something was conscious or not and saying look if you could pass the touring test that means that a person couldn't tell if it was another person on the end then it was conscious and the problem is all of these modern AIS are all passing the touring test with flying colors and and yet you know so suddenly we're having to um they're not conscious so we have to sort of redefine Consciousness and that's where we are right now so it is it is a lot more than if then statements in fact if come on a so he's right in a sense but that's he's a little bit behind the times with that Christian you I think you were shaking your head there about the touring test possibly difference between just like yeah yeah no you're read right it's a difference between passing the touring test and being programmed to pass the touring test so they're they're they're completely two different things um so when when you when you aim an AI let's say but when you aim something to pass something and you train it on that specific thing it will pass it there's no big surprise there um so it there there seems to be a disconnect between the tech community and the the the the rest of the world when it comes to AI because uh Us in the that Community would like to jump the the gun a bit more and then we're bringing uh we we we we're uh we're bring brought back to Earth by by real people by uh thunderduck for example you know because they're you know we love to dream and and and we love to look towards uh a great vision and towards uh the future but then um um we we we tend to Perhaps Perhaps sometimes omit the the you know the real problems that they are there the real problems that people are um um struggling with uh every day um and and that's where I think uh we should get back to uh as a Tech Community as um as Tech Founders as as Engineers as um as programers coders or whatever to to figure out hey let's solve real problems here um and at the moment you know when it comes to AI this can become so useful it it it will it will change almost everything that is happening around us and um um it will become useful when it um it it it starts and it already started basically to to be sandboxed and to be uh um looked at from from a privacy point of view from a security point of view a little bit uh more in detail uh when when um when will be applied to to to real things that people Str with and I think we're there AR we I mean would you say we're at that point I mean you're implementing it in a home situation aren't you so we're there aren't we we're on the cusp of that so yeah but that's what we're trying to but we're struggling with it because AI is neither artificial neither intelligent at the moment so um when it comes to to your home and when when you when you try to put something in your home and try to use something that learns uh U learns based on on um specific um uh Customs that a person like you might have in in the home um it's very random uh because we're all different and we all do different things at home well besides turning on lights and turning off lights when we are in a room but we have different surprisingly different uh um ways of of acting when when we are at home um but that wouldn't be the main problem the main problem it's us as as people to are we ready for it are we ready for for to have this in our homes and are we're ready to to trust uh uh something like this um managing our daily lives when we are at home very interesting that's that's a big question there yeah yeah thank you um we got more questions coming in from our community when AI eventually claims that it is sentient that's an interesting way of putting it isn't it from Tony how will we know if it's telling the truth how do we even know what that means I mean that is a massive philosophical question not just a tech question right Cory yeah it definitely is and and it's the center of a lot of conversation as I was alluding to before is that right now the idea of what sentience means is is up for grabs and that's what people are trying to discern and you have philosophers doing it and academic people but now you you also have scientists and um and technologists who are trying to figure out what what does that actually mean um and and you know the the assumption that a lot of people have is as soon as sentience comes around that's it it's a game over for human beings the the a machines will take over and all that it's very sort of calamitous we have we're a little ways away before sentience comes around even even though we don't know exactly what that means um there's a lot of of of conversation around um autonomy and be being able to make decisions for itself and and all of these kinds of things alluding to sentience but um but the the likelihood of what what's interesting about how these AI the generative AI has been created is it's been created on human content and so that means that human content drives its ethics human content drives the way that it sees the world and so on and so the chances are that it's going to it's going to have it's going to be biased towards humans uh because all of our writing is and so on which is which is actually an interesting point with right now you have a lot of creative people who are up in arms about their their their books and and things that are written being used to train AI but what they're missing is they're missing the idea that these AIS that are being created right now are foundational they're the first ones we're not going to be recreating the first ones again in the future in the future we're going to be creating things on top of the things that we' created now and so having your books inside of there having your creativity inside of there actually influences the whole future of the human race and and AI because you are actually putting your own ethics and your own point points of view into this this this this massive language set of language models and um it's actually a real opportunity to to um to influence to influence it and to stop to stop it going down the roots that people are are actually afraid of is and to be to be at that you know it's another perennial philosophical question am I invol am I interested in this from the point of view of my own self-interest or for the greater good I mean it really puts it really puts uh the light on that doesn't it very much does like if you're if you're very very much looking at at what's happening to you right now and a little bit tunnel vision you'll feel that way but if you just step back a little bit and look at it from a human sort of evolutionary standpoint in our futures it's actually really important role to play is to put your put those thoughts into it now at a foundational stage and protect us against the future and the same for you for for you Christian of course because there is the use case of AI and machine learning for for smart h homes and that's very much an individual matter um or we can be looking at this about on the basis of how human beings live in the future live on their own Living Community live as families I mean there there's you could approach it from that angle and I'm sure you are when it was interesting you saying you know we're not we're nowhere near a an interesting place yet really because of the human effect and because of the limitations of the technology as such as they are when do you see something really exciting happening Christian in terms of machine learning and AI being integrated into our homes and our lifestyles no no no don't get me wrong we are in a very interesting place okay with a it's it's amazing we're not in a useful place yet so but it's it's amazingly interesting and um you know um if you find useful uh um uh creating a picture or nothing on on on some some open AI uh application um uh it's great or chatting with GPT and finding out that you know is reading from Wikipedia or from from some some articles that they're matched together that's not really useful yet but that's what I'm I'm talking about it's a very interesting place because if you take all these learnings and you start to aim them at something and uh wall them a little bit and um um let's say train them on on specifics uh I'll give you an example imagine you are at home and uh you um um you have all these fancy connected devices not really fancy because everything really today is connected but um they don't really tend to talk to each other uh the the AC unit doesn't know what the uh you know the temperature in bed is or or the what what the thermostat is set at um uh it cannot really change that to make your life better you know I'm still sweating in bed and I have a smart thermostat and AC a smart acit yeah I'm swe bet you know so that's that's usefulness I mean you guys are connected talk to each other figure it out I don't want to I don't want to be uncomfortable so that's when it becomes useful when they start realizing and and start predicting and say Hey you know I see that he moving in bed it's is you know sweating or maybe cold or let's let's turn on and you know adjusted the the temperature and this is such a simple thing to do um but yet um is not done yet you know so it's not there yes I think and I think that um the the the sort of Internet of things will will come alive because because of AI will will allow these things to talk to each other and start to be more useful in our lives at the moment I think that AI is we're thinking about AI as being a thing by itself and it really isn't it it Powers a lot of other things so AI will allow the internet of things to come alive but AI is also empowering um you know medical advances to come rapidly right now today I mean it helped uh with the the um create the vaccine for one of the vaccines for covid and and it's it's used right now it's going to help unleash um Quantum Computing it's going to help change how we battle climate change it's going to help Material Sciences it's going to help across so many different areas that AI is not the revolution the revolution are all the different things that it empowers us to do different and better than we have before and the re the revolution is the application isn't it as ever I guess it's how the tools themselves are something but how we use them is what really what makes the difference Christian I know you've got to go um to to another meeting thanks for joining us this morning I I was wanting to push you a little bit on the timing so when when do you imagine these the AC unit talking to your Fitbit under the duvet when do you think that's going to happen and we're going to turn a corner very very very soon very very soon um um look at where we were with with open AI capabilities 6 months ago um and it just grew and grew and grew um um from an open AI perspective they already uh um um you know kind of kind of with the help of Microsoft try to already bring the possibility for people uh from other Industries to come in and use uh language models that they already built to train them on specifics and and and wall them and and and the sandbox them uh so it's it's very it's going to happen very fast and very soon um there are some Hardware technological bits that need to be solved um on on iot devices uh especially in the home um it's a it's a mash up of things because Hardware manufacturers uh in the consumer industry are very low margin so they they need to basically sell everything that they already have so they can invest in in in new hardware that can um adapt um new technologies they can be a little bit more uh you know performant um but uh it will happen very very soon but it's good sign is I go to IKEA now Ikea and little have have you know in the middle of section of little you can buy a light that gets turned on by by your phone uh which I think is a a small scale but significant sign for for normal people and Ikea have us arranged don't they yeah yeah Ikea for a few years now and little and all this um the the idea here is that mass Merchants have understood that uh that people can get benefits from from connected uh uh from connected uh devices and they're propping up their own lines or the proing up other people's lines and they're helping other small manufacturers as well to to bring uh new devices and and um and uh new uh new technologies on board the great news is that even uh the big uh manufacturers and the and and the small manufacturers they're now kind of gathering up together in in in in a huge Alliance that that um it's meant to make devices understand each other and um it's a it's it's a very good start um from there to AI um it's is not a technological barrier it's more of a psychological barrier of people ready uh to to to have this in to have ai in their homes um is the trust there so it's it's more more along those lines rather than than than technological uh but I guess if you call AI something else people will then figure you know it's a job from here on in Christian thank thank you so much for joining us from your home give her give Bobby a hug from us if you see him today thanks for joining us appreciate you squeezing Us in uh can you stay with us a bit longer Cory sure I have a little bit if you give us a few more minutes that's wonderful Christian Bona Chia for now thank you CH mate oh sorry I cut him off there as he was saying sorry about that Christian um and have a great weekend so Cory um the question on the screen there what do you think about the training of these models using copyright materials without permission you kind of alluded to that didn't you and that's a that hurts for the person who makes their living of course from said copy copyright materials what more would you say on this I I feel that if you ask the question what do you think about training students using copyright material without per mission is the same question it's like if if the if a student were to take a book and reprint that book and try and sell it then that would be illegal and that would be wrong however if a student read reads a book I'm sorry Martin I I don't mean to um answer in such a controversial way but um I think that if if a student then were to to take that book and read it and learn something and then write their own thing that was inspired by it then there's nothing wrong with that and I think AI works very much the same way you train it on all kinds of materials and what happens is the companies don't they they purchase the books right to be able to train the AI they're not like pulling illegal copies off the internet and and putting them into the AI they're buying the book and putting it into the machine and saying learn this and the Machine doesn't regurgitate that exactly what it does is it learns from it and then it uses it as part of its context for having conversations and coming up with its own original content so I I see no problem with doing that whatsoever and I don't think that it actually infringes copyright and frankly neither neither does the copyright law it doesn't it does not apply in this case because it is derived work it's not it's not duplication replic and there's no money being made from it well thanks for that question Martin I guess you you the time to worry is when a machine sets up its own eBay account and start selling copies of things it generates that's that's when you need to worry right well I mean at the moment we have a human in the loop but that's what people are doing they're sort of using AI to write things and then they're selling them on Amazon and they reckon that at the moment there are these sort of 99 cent books and all of these smaller books self-published things on Amazon and they think that about 50% of them now primarily written by AI which is so so already sort of on that road and again I mean I just can't help spinning this out to a more sort of Phil philosophical question because it's like well actually that that doesn't sound great but then again it's not that different to what used to go on before it's not like the publishing industry was a beautiful thing or the music industry was a beautiful thing people were getting exploited by humans from the get-go with that and um so it's not as if we can you know claim that we had a beautiful system that is now being ruined by computers humans were screwing each other over before that and now they're doing the same thing and they can't really blame II AI for that can they on machine learning they can only blame themselves for doing that using a new tool exactly and and you know this tool is is used uh more often than not right now to create new things rather than and what it's doing is unleashing the creativity of a lot of humans rather than used to to sort of copy yeah I'm not worried about I taking my job says Pam at the moment my work is spending hours trying to keep up with technology and make it work in a real world business I'll roll that up with a question Heather asked as well on our GMP VIP platform considering I'm still up working I think she wrote this in this we small hours I'll likely catch this on replay my issue is that everything I buy now requires a professional to set it up Airbnb management software my business project management if anyone knows monday.com give me a call it's not really a question she says I guess I'm just frustrated in trying to use these Cool Tools and finding it so complicated sometimes I'm getting it old at 51 she says who knew so there's a much more mundane problem there can can can Pam here um be be assisted and Heather with a a more mundane issue it would seem of ab ab actually setting up technology and can AI help with that so yes uh the answer is yes so so my current job I'm not building sentiment analysis AIS anymore my current job is working with company that that helps other companies build software and a lot of that software nowadays is AI based and even for us internally I build tools to help us build software and some of the tools that we build right now are what we call virtual pairs where we um we create an AI That's specialized in a particular subject um and then we use our our engineers and people who are building things use this as a partner to pair with to work with on a daily basis to help them understand how to do things so building software is a lot like setting up a piece of of of software over and over again but uh and so AI you can use AI as long as it's up to date um so chat GPT right now is is programmed to have all knowledge up to April 2023 um and it hasn't it hasn't so uh gone beyond that and but they're trying to keep it up to date and so long as it's it's up todate what you can do is you can um you can actually ask it to help you set up so if you have problems for example with monday.com you can go to something like chat GPT and talk to it about how to set up monday.com and because it's ingested documentation around M monday.com it will be able to help you and what's more in the last few weeks you could take the documentation from monday.com and upload it to chat gbt so that's it's completely up to date and then ask it questions in plain language and that's the key is it's changing the way that we interact with the computer and so instead of talking to it in terms of programming and in terms of documents with lots of numbers and bullet lists and so on you start to have a conversation with it and you can ask it questions right and you can get real answers as you would with a human being and so if you need help setting up technology I highly advise going to Claude which is uh a really really good AI or good to chat gbt and so on and start asking it questions as you would anybody else about how to do it and it will help you amazing there's the uh link I put the link in the chat to Cory's work here at artium the scenario you describe can we have you for a few more minutes or have you got to go no I'm I'm clear for a few more minutes all right that's wonderful okay um we have some great questions and observations here and how people are are using the technology already um what's I need two cups of coffee before I can pass a Turing test Christopher Weeden is here good morning to you Christopher uh when you get your your answer or output or design you must tweak it to be useful so Jim I think it's recognizing there that um it's a tool not not the end end product it's I think of it less of a tool because you know tools tend to be um uh something that you use in a certain way and only in that way you know a hammer is a tool and you use it in in you know you can use the claw a nail or hit a nail but that's pretty much it um however or to break something but but with AI I think of it more as as a a partner which is why I like the phrase augmented intelligence and so it's something that you can work with to solve and you as I said you're both better together so I completely agree with the comment I think that if you you if it gives you something you should interact with it more to make that thing better and um and that actually gets the best result okay wow seeing your thoughts on screen does sound terrifying I thought that immediately with with the sentiment software but I can actually see I'd love to have a coffee with you again or a beer cor and talk more about that because the the sort of philosophical spin-off is brilliant and what that means for human beings is brilliant as well potentially uh what was that comic with the kid who had a glass head yes it's like having two people with glass heads and you can see what's going on ultimately that would be a great thing in in the beginning I think it could be an awkward thing I bet you could manipulate that says the Portuguese if you if someone feels nervous right excited in the thought bubble that would be useful for my students before test is that ethical Jim says I've been bitten by the AI bug I wonder why you've been so quiet Jim um I've been experimenting with chat GPT for creating Workshop design the inv video AI for text to video creation it's amazing um why are you like this is people started to think about what you do Cory here why are you lying to me right now eek well it's not an unfair question is it um be great in politics um so to life Portugal speaking blackbery which I think God sorry C I'll tell you something is when we were when we were creating the sentimental analysis stuff one of the things that we did is we it was during the election cycle in the US uh between Trump and Biden and uh we kept uh feeding them speeches from the two of them and then posting you know what the the outcome with the little bubbles over their heads as they talked and I have to tell you it was quite entertaining I bet it was but more entertaining the actual event speak of blackberry this is a connection between blackberry and Tesla I watched an excellent and poignant new movie about the rise and fall of blackberry recently on a flight available on YouTube also that' be great wouldn't it the story of blackbery because that was in everybody's hands for a little while and only to be surpassed um which is a warning to all people involved in Tech I guess bondia to from Michael great new great news last night for nhr uh figas fingers crossed I'm I'm going to be recording with dwart again about that news another plot twist with the nhr there may be some extensions for some people into 2024 um solar life Portugal I probably watched the same thing my ex who was a lawyer was constantly on her BlackBerry pre- smartphone never knew how she could type so fast with such a tiny keyboard people learn don't they that's machine learning human slash machine learning isn't it um I read that to keep it natural it takes the nearest or second or third nearest randomly answer that this is talking about when I was talking about how it chooses the next word and so on um and so it's it's it's not completely random um it has to do with with sort of understanding it's so Randomness is like it's stochastic which means that there is absolutely no patent to it and it is not there there is a pattern to it and there is a logic to it it's just not always the same thing because things can have very near probabilities and um it gets very technical but in n-dimensional space you can have multiple things that are just as relevant yes and aren't humans like that I mean this is a great question from fam with the touring test to people pass that Consciousness test right it depends isn't it many think that AI stifles creativity as they assume that you get what you you you that what you get you just send out and claim as your own AI prompts require lots of work to get you what you want and yeah and and and that's where I came in when when you get your answer or output or design you must tweak it to be useful sorry I started with the wrong end of your contribution there Jim um I genuinely think says Pete go on Cory I was gonna say Jim I I think you're right um there's there's an old phrase from from from technology from engineering from years ago software engineering which is uh garbage in garbage out right and and the truth is still true of an AI like if you pump a lot of of garbage into it you'll get a lot of garbage back out so to actually help have an AI help you write something that's good you actually have to have some knowledge yourself and interact with it in a way and from a place of knowledge uh to actually get something really good out of it so uh I I agree creating prompts and creating things that actually output useful content requires useful input and garbage in garbage out true for humans as well that's why we've got a good speaker this morning to give you some some aidite insight into AI I genuinely think says PE that the first people who will lose their jobs due to AI are coders and programmers as people with ideas won't need them so this is a big concern for people isn't it people are worried about losing their jobs what do you think what do you make of this generally I'm sorry to have to ask you to make a generalization but I guess it's all we've got time for this morning sure I I think that the jobs will evolve as they always have with every technology comes out the jobs evolve right they become they change the computers completely changed the job market but it didn't eliminate all everybody's job what it did is it created a whole bunch of new jobs and I think AI is changing the way that we work and so the skills that are necessary in in terms of the jobs that we do are going to change uh I agree to a certain extent with what's being said here in that I think it's I don't know that it's coders and programmers but it's certainly everybody thought that the first jobs to go would be so called blueco collar jobs but it's actually the um the intelligence workers right the office workers that are most a threat because AI is is is a thinking uh tool um whereas but you know the other jobs are not far behind because robots are finally going to come into their own because of AI and and machine learning and where it is and so you're going to have you know machines that can then interact in the world and that changes the entire job markets again so I don't think we're all going to lose our jobs in the immediate I think we're going to evolve in new jobs and that and we can already see that happening if you look at the job titles that are more popular now they're completely changing to adapt to a changing world of AI however I do think and this is a longer conversation that in the longer run uh Universal basic income is the only way forward because a lot of jobs will be done and we need to move on to a a a social and um political environment that that allows that to happen which we don't have W yeah and I was about to say it's not every technology that causes that chain of events but maybe the biggest technologies always do that right the printing press for example the internet itself all of these things have changed the world in ways that uh um the creators of them could not have really understood and only a few I guess gifted and Brilliant Minds who are saying things who are probably quite quiet on the margins uh were saying these things and looks how it all turns out uh so I I hope we can continue this conversation will you come back and talk to us more I've got one more question I'd like to ask you but generally speaking for the future will he come back and do this again for us Cory sure I'd love to okay all right one more one more Quicky then um because I know you've got to go you're busy man hello good morning what are the dangers of AI being used to steal human identity does it come back to the humans again that that question I mean um I'm not sure what what it means to steal human identity to be to pretend to be a human um yeah it makes it easier to pretend to be somebody else that's for sure but it but it takes a human to do that yes right so again it's the it's the intent isn't it of the human using this rather than the the the technology itself I mean I I know it's an old Trope but you know you can use fire to cook food or you can use fire to burn down the village next door yes yeah it's our choice isn't it and remains so Cory fantastic thank you for sending me that text you want to do an AMA on AI I now know what both of those abbreviations mean and I I'm going to wish you a b uh what would will this be a bfds a bon F Mana uh have a have a great weekend and I look forward to having a coffee or beer with you in the bay here and talking more and and having you back here on the screen to talk some more and another AMA so thank you very much for being here much appreciated love to um send me any questions you have that are outside of of what we've talked about and I'm happy to uh to to send answers if people all right fabulous very kind excellent stuff take care have a great weekend bye for now touch out mate see you right so there he goes um and that's um that's I will give you the um link to his work there if you're thinking I've got to speak to this guy uh that's amazing here it is the link for his uh the work he's doing with the this is rtm.com and when Cory was saying there um if you look at Job titles they they reflect the change absolutely right and if you look if you look at this website it reflects the I don't understand a lot of what's being said on this website I was I was in startup culture here in Portugal um what a couple of years ago um in a sort of incubator environment and I could see you know the way people were thinking and the sort of conversations people were having the world of work will change the world of innovation is certainly changing already as Cory said there and people are they have different job titles they do different kinds of work and they are thinking very differently um and of course they they they are shaping the future that uh the rest of us I suppose will be um operating in this is a fair point thanks Liz f for that question earlier on by the way sorry I didn't acknowledge you or say hello how rude of me thank you for an incredibly interesting conversation it's our pleasure uh Liz F uh were those thought bubbles not just empty uh with those two oh is that with Biden and Trump you could be forgiven for thinking so the legal illegal security war will continue to escalate regardless of course it will and again you know it's a Scooby-Doo thing isn't it you know when when they pull the mask off there's a human being under there the janitor you know has a broom to to paraphrase Cory's contribution and his wise words that he was talking about you know you can use fire to cook a meal or burn down the next Village the janitor in Scooby-Doo could use his broomstick to be beat people with or sweep the floor and when whenever the Hood was removed there was there's always going to be the human being under there with an ill will and I think that's what that's the problem here it's not the technology is it it's the uh it's the people who use it for for for bad intent thank you for all your wonderful comments including this one Christopher Weeden if I ever make a joke in the kitchen and the toaster laughs is that what we've got to look forward to with the internet of things I bought a I bought a kettle which actually has broken now it stopped working is it xiaoi the Chinese company and I bought a Bluetooth C thinking well that could be useful it really wasn't it was a nice looking thing and I could I think I could have it maintain a temperature from my phone somewhere else in the house what I really wanted to was to be able to switch it on from somewhere else in the house I think we've got a way to go until I get a truly smart Kettle that will talk to other devices including me um in the house how do you program says R not around bias humans will always exhibit some bias it's unavoidable you see this is why I'm not not that um worried I I do think you know that the the humans are the the boundary to the technology aren't they we are we are you know we're conceiving of it and of course it might develop its own intelligence over and above what we give it in the way that our kids do but like Cory said it's built on what we gave them in the first place isn't it so it's it has its limitations and I I mean for me I want and maybe we'll talk to him more about this next time he comes but the spiritual part what we really are our the Consciousness from which we come and in which we live and have our being to me that's the you know as long as there's a Divine intelligence which I think there is and I think there's always a Divine intelligence as long as you're alive because that's what you came from artificial intelligence will always be a subset of divine intelligence I remain unworried but but then maybe when I speak to Cory a bit more I will be who knows um we should bias it towards dogs yeah I'm with that I'm with that if we're using a model of interaction and compassion and a way of operating I mean they do say it's a Dogg e dog world don't man's best friend and a doggy dog world we're back to square one really aren't we when it comes down to it um a dog will um get itself fed I think and defend itself but if you keep those if you keep those things sorted out uh you end up with a good friend on your hands um if AI gets its Knowledge from books and most of these were written by and reflect rich white men oh is it likely the prejudice and discrimination will be worse in the future I'll let other greater minds consider that one thank you Pam um humans are influenced by our many secular philosophies or religious worldviews Etc so AI will therefore also have to evolve out of the same milia exactly I think that's what I was saying in a different way there Bob would you rather not absolutely but since chat continues to evolve and learn my theory is that people need to ask it specific questions that are not part of the official narrative it's official narrative busting as well if we choose to take it that way like climate it's a little there's a freeon of controversy on the edges of this conversation which I quite like um that's awesome I use it to develop lesson plans and custom solutions for students I think in some Industries it's already revolutionary says the Portuguese about AI I bet it doesn't go for coffee in the morning though as in what go fetch it for you or it doesn't have the humanity to to think to itself do you know what before anything else I'm just going to have a little wand down to the coffee shop I'm going to say hello to people on the way I'm going to smell the flowers and I'm going to think to myself how good it is to be alive I mean that to me is the great marker of of Consciousness is it not you there we we are self-conscious aren't we not only can we not only can we be we can see that we are being and all that that that great responsibility if you like that that mechanism gives us I would strongly disagree um says solar life Pete my inv victron units charge my car when I have filled my batteries the automated watering system and airon heat or cool or heat or cool the house before I get back home I am off grid so that's a disagreeing with Christian then I think about how we have achieved or certainly Pete's achieved a certain amount of usefulness with the internet of things and the connection between between machines it's a fascinating topic says aiva ocean dweller good morning to you we need more education about AI to understand what we want to do as a civilization yes and we've made our own little um contribution towards that I would like to think this morning okay I'm gonna I'm going to stop for a little bit of video this this sentiment I love this Pam I want to spend less time sat at the computer I'm sat on a stool now um which I bought the other day and it occurred to me talking about the internet of things I'm quite glad this isn't connected to anyone else's phone um because they could do this to me if you're seeing the screen and it also occurred to me that this is actually quite a dangerous thing if there wasn't a seat between me and this this uh what is it atic um hydraulic Rod that allows that takes the weight of a fully grown human man and can lift him up in the air and all that's separating me is a thin sheet of upholstered wood I think I this could go horribly wrong couldn't it I mean some people pay a lot of money for that but anyway um that's how I'm going to end the show I am going to push the hydraulic button on my new stool um so i h i do spend a lot of time in front of the computer at least an hour and a half every morning uh and I've started this semi standing or squatting on a stool which I think is a whole lot better for me is it making a difference at your end um after listening to this talk I am feeling the urgency to get my book on human bioluminescence r yes I think that's probably the greatest outcome of the conversation we've had this morning I want to see that book um and feel free to put the link in to your other book that was recently published as well Shelly lovely to have you here when AI can make a sandwich I am a believer yes me too for me it creates more and less interesting work what does uh is that for AI um yes and your comment about Trump and Biden there let's conclude on the AI there knowing that Cory will return and be with us and stimulate further conversation I agree with you Liz thank you for an incredibly interesting conversation there with Cory and a contribution from Christian as well from the your home team who's putting in the smart tech for hedad Deo right a bit of video then uh for a moment uh this came in from John and Owen's tour of this part of the world so let me just play a little bit of video for you oh here's a very brief bit no Owen you forgot something check off Owen that would be a good way to end the show wouldn't it okay little bit of a c view as we just regroup and reather um ourselves uh and and let those thoughts go let them go now about AI we'll return to that in due course it's time to put the sex in Sea and have a bon f as we wind down towards the weekend I think the Portuguese beaches in the wintertime late fall and winter time are their personality is more character you know with with a lot of the big waves in the summertime it's a lot more docel and calm Thomas says that you look you can see you can see the wave sets coming in from a kilometer out oh yeah right the swells yeah this is this is relatively calm you can see some of these ones that look like they're bigger than others Wonder want to see what these two out here do that should be interesting you can see where the tide was I don't know if it's going out or coming in yeah that see that that that um swell there looks like it's going to be a nice one here it comes getting bigger bigger and bigger yeah these are breaking in fairly close to shore superb thank you very much JN I found that so refreshing there I'm loading up a few events uh from bandi probably the one of the biggest snow uh is it Santa or snow it's snow one of the biggest Santas anywhere in Europe I'll be showing you in just a moment and of course dad jokes and things we tell our kids uh before we go anywhere this weekend really good says T I enjoyed the conversation and learned a bit as well glad to be of service here another bit of refreshing video though and Jim has sent a video in made by AI so we might finish with that as well this morning hot of the press oh forgot to show this yesterday this is John playing with his caty I think that might have actually been pound there look this show has had everything isn't it Cutting Edge discussion about Ai and a bit of cap video as well little bit more Seaside for you okay now we're up on the peninsula again still north of San martinho but now we are looking South and this is the key gate between the Cliffs of the entrance into the scalloped Bay of santinho which is off there in the distance and you can see these nice Condominiums up on the hill here and our good friends Tor and Kathy are over here in one of those units but isn't this lovely look at this wonderful geography fascinating that's beautiful thanks John nice to see my hometown represented so well there so a few events for you and that massive Santa good morning to you Alan in Massachusetts this morning very very early morning for you let's have a look what's going on in the B District we've got the market Fester looks like you buy buy yourself a nice new frock there um dog walk swap meet fashion parade as well oh get your Glad Rags on for that one what else have we got by Randy we have a free nature walking P dno even if you can't get to the bada this is quite a nice inspiration isn't it for things to do over the weekend thank you for these Andy historic English car parade at prosha uh in the silver Coast there that sounds interesting doesn't it um there's a few petrol heads here I'm sure would enjoy that we also have another San martinho not the place but the FES the the holiday period of San martinho this time of year of course where people are drinking the jerpa and eating chestnuts oh I roasted some last night and then forgot to eat them that often happens doesn't you stick them in the oven the oven timer goes off and you forget they'll be soggy now I need to reheat those bad boys this morning so F to s martinho in AA in b as well and then up there poron a spit party in Madura in the bada as well we also have a rally at Canon rally will feature on Saturday two stages Through The Vineyards of Cantona what a great place to drive and at night a super special stage in the center of Ceda interesting Town um a couple more uh this one before we go to big Santa the r mod Mal Malo what's that that's a gastronom ano gastron a gastronomic evening of course in malap in Oya and return to Agoda uh this very popular event begins November the 18th so this weekend with the Christmas parade at 4:30 and the inauguration and Christmas lights and the famous record breaking Father Christmas it's huge and his sack is something to behold it's one of the biggest Santas I've ever seen huge illuminated and twinkling in the distance as you enter Agoda so thank you very much for those Andy let's go to the things we tell our kids and the dad jokes that were sent in by teuck early on this morning it seems like some time ago doesn't it we've had a wonderful conversation about AI since then and it's been lovely to see so many people here hear from you baddy that you're safe and well in Iceland over there stay safe have a great weekend everybody let's find those dad jokes actually let's do the things we tell our kids first shall We The Lies We Tell our kids in fact on this morning when we had a deep thought from Richard Nixon ice cream trucks only play music when they're out of ice cream yeah sorry kids and swallowed gum takes seven years to digest so make sure you spit it out there are adults who still believe all of these I think I'm sorry to burst your bubble this morning watermelons will grow in your stomach if you swallow the seeds don't they all end up in the appendix isn't that what happens loving these tea duck this morning these dad jokes youth Fades but immaturity is forever oh yes a long may that last and cow tipping is a myth cattle actually rarely tip even when the service is good and I love this I have an Elton John joke it's a little bit funny There You Go something to send you off into the weekend and you'll be using I know you'll be using one or three of those have a great weekend is um Jim allowing us to um yes we can you okay I'm going to finish with an AI generated video this is very kind of a gym to send us this here's an AI generated video he says that was built from a few prompts that's how you need to get the the party started with AI of course a few prompts it is a first draft needs better video needs better video and some narrative and editing but the prompts were very simple and you might want to view or we look at it next week we're looking at it now I'm going to load it up now and finish with an example of the sort of work you can achieve working with AI and this is exactly what Jim has done give me a moment just to bring it onto the screen and thank you very much for for sharing this with us Jim and thank you thank you to everybody for being here have a super weekend b f Mana we will finish with this today and we'll see you on Monday of course uh with slugman and whichever long name he's dreamt up to use for next Monday when he does a bit of mindful mic oh is there a bit of nakedness in this video Jim um yeah James will be with us on Monday with a bit of mindful migration so we look forward to seeing you then have a fabulous weekend take care and bye for now in the heart of vibrant Porto Portugal where the Marx Metro escalator hums with the rhythm of daily life a touching scene unfolds Mandy and Jim two Keen observers witness an act of kindness that is as profound as it is simple picture this an older woman stands at the top of the escalator hesitant uncertain the bustling crowd es and flows around her but she remains still a solitary figure against the tide of humanity then out of the throng a young woman in her 20s emerges without a moment's hesitation she takes the older woman's arm and together they descend the escalator this fleeting moment of connection of shared Humanity leaves a lasting impression as they reach the bottom the older woman overcome with gratitude looks up and kisses the young woman's hand then just as quickly as it began the moment ends the older woman walks away and the young woman disappears back into the crowd but the impact of their encounter lingers it's the little things isn't it the small acts of kindness that Ripple through our lives touching Us in ways we can't always anticipate at it's these moments that remind us of our shared Humanity of our capacity to care for one another and of the power of kindness this isn't a grand gesture it's not a headline grabbing Act of heroism it's a simple everyday occurrence but it's these little acts of kindness that truly make a difference they keep us grounded they remind us to be grateful they Inspire us to be better so as you go about your day remember this moment remember the young woman and the older woman on the escalator in Porto remember the power of kindness and the difference it can make embrace the little things cherish the fleeting moments of connection be kind be thoughtful because it's the little things that make the biggest difference it's the little things that make us human be that difference in someone's life today
Good Morning Portugal!

Season 18 Alliance War Path 7! (Marvel Contest of Champions)
hey what's up guys i'm gonna show you some war gameplay because why not so i'll take patch seven the hidden path and my team is quick archangel and corvus and i have the masteries i have for this path is where it shows me tech champs and uh and with skill the skill is for elsa bloodstones that are placed on war because you'll die unless you have a mutant so that's arches archangel you just eat those and then the tech is because i've done this past few times and i needed tech because i would die a few times because i'd use quake and i'd get killed by iron man infinity war because if you don't know she can't evade his like his um like mediums or sign and some of his light attacks because it counters a fade so right here it shows i have a skill and it's also bloodstone that first fight was ebony ma and i have suicide so i mean these fights just get destroyed really quickly um this is pretty much my dream team there's very few fights they can't do i'd see if i can make my team better i would run whatever i'd probably run corvus for all the tech fights and then um what is it uh then i'm megan like saber tooth synergy because i'm sure megan can do like every other fight pretty easily but this team still does the job pretty easily so yeah that's the first section down i was getting really lucky with the neurotoxin so that path is long and then this next path i have to clear for this dude because normally it's like a void but whatever it wasn't so i was like i would have enough energy this one is the start with one bar power they normally put rk i mean they know um what's your name magic these guys were doing some weird placements so i was a little concerned um but we won this war in the end and now we're plot one rank five so our top 25 in the world if we win the war that we're now um you go to masters which is pretty crazy because i'm so used to being the gold one or platform lines so it's nice to move up in the world um so archangel was definitely a weird blaze normally they would do magics because it starts with one of our power then you get the limbo so you just take like unavoidable damage um so yeah i was surprised to see an archangel here i'm pretty sure this fight was went really well but um yeah i don't remember dying in this war so yeah i might start recording wars depending on how well it goes this video because i don't know i'm just i'm just not used to recording fours i guess but yeah so archangel's down i only get the magic there i don't know these guys were plot one but these guys played really badly so i was very surprised i thought i'd claim some daily reward and then i think i was just trying to stall for time because i was about to get my um oh yeah another piece of energy so right here shows us that it's a tech character so i'm like okay and with flow right here i was checking to see if flo was active of course it is normally it's like a dark hawk or iron man infinity war but i'm pretty sure this was a weird placement i can't remember what it was but i don't remember i think it was weird so there's a tech picture this is for corvesque in case um quake can't take it oh yeah it was a green goblin i was like what the and then i hit him and i was like okay so green goblin doesn't even have flow so this is about to be super easy and once i realized i think i just started doing full five combos with corvus because he was just dropping pretty quickly maybe i didn't i don't know oh yeah no i started doing five combos yeah yeah this um these guys were a high plot one and i don't really know how they got here because they didn't play well and they had some weird placements so yeah it's kind of weird but normally on this node this node can really be anything to be honest but yeah now the next note is literally always omega it's close encounters so if you're far away you take damage and if you're close to him you heal but if you're too close to him because it's omega you take damage so it's kind of just an annoying note it's not really hard um i think i do get slapped here um but yeah this this node you just gonna take damage on and you just have to take up the ass kind of but if you play well you shouldn't take too much damage but i think i get yeah right here i get hit which was kind of a scrub move on my part but yeah and like you see i detent three um three percent of my health a second um when i'm far away because of the node so i don't know i just don't like this node i think it's kind of trash but i think right here i'm like trying to bait out a special one i'm sorry if it looks like it looks like in sony vegas but i might just be sorry vegas something special too he's dead and yeah pretty easy fight and then i think and x was a punisher 2099 on like the node like um every time you hit their block or whatever or you block they gain power so like his special one just with a group of cognitive power kinetic transference and special delivery um i gave him a level two health potion for some reason i meant to give him a level five one i think when i was looking at this and i was like i think corvus can take it i think even one just play it safe but i think i think i think that should be fun looking back i could have just quaked this but i think i just wanted to corvus it and he this guy does he have flow i don't know if he is float he does that flow okay so he had flow so i had to play a little bit safe but i was like corvus can kill him before the 15 hit combo thing even matters so it's like whatever um right here was that trying to i think i should go from five and yeah you just kind of die and special one so yeah that's path seven so if you guys know this video like comment subscribe and yeah i'll see you guys next one peace

down glad to that last checkpoint it's overtime last checkpoint but the score keeps going up you run out of time regroup and rethink foreign [Music] foreign of course thank you mine deployed reloading shooting right let's do this all day foreign stop changing the game you're not real quick the bigger they are mine at the ready launching medboard someone had before just when I thought I met my match changing the game mine planted foreign boy mongoose they have better gear didn't they foreign I am 12 News ahead when variables [Music] foreign Professor how you doing tonight thanks for the raid much appreciated you're doing sleepy that makes sense I am um not having a very good night but I decided to pop on anyway to um decided to pop on anyway to uh play some play some uh share line so I can say that I streamed every day this week hey Resa thanks to the hydrating posture check if y'all check in the menu I actually am running a subathon uh this week there are some things that y'all can do that would be our y'all can do and return for channel points or tips but don't feel pressured to do anything I could probably use some breaks from playing game about killing people anyway oh we don't need to be sorry it's not your fault I'm just I'm being I'm just being dumb it's not been a very good day and I don't want to take it out anyone but at the same time I've had that kind of need to uh go online I guess that's just a YouTuber a YouTuber dilemma right sorry I don't need to bring down debut or anything uh but yeah I'm thank you for the raid for those of you who don't know who I am um I'm Lawler Hicks I'm a ship poster AI I'm actually typically three it's usually typically have a 3D avatar but I'm using a PNG right now because um I don't really want to use the animated Avatar right now yeah taking care of yourself is overrated uh but anyway thank you for the hydrated redeem and thank you for stopping by I'm just going to basically just be chilling in shatter line for a while if anyone wants to if you all if I know if anyone wants to chat bonus redeems just because I'm in a shitty mood does not mean that I won't honor those um I will anyway so that's a thing I suppose otherwise um but I digress my college I apologize for my manners what are you up to Professor what were you all up to today oh you're playing Resident Evil Village I heard that was a decent game I have not finished any of the remakes of the Resident Evil series yet so I don't feel like I I have I'm one of those people that has to play these games in order so I only just started Resident Evil 4 the other day uh by the follow or by a viewer request and it's kind of painful to play it's it's really a project with time but it's been fun either way so I'm sure eventually I'll make myself to Resident Evil 8 our present Village at some point but um yeah I apologize to any of your viewers that are meeting me for the first time this is not this is not um how I usually am I typically like the polar opposite of uh how I sound and acting right now it's just not been a good day so I hope you'll forgive me and if you decide to stick around I promise that future streams will not be as uh not not be like this um anyway our Eve controls seem pretty rough in comparison motor games yeah they basically mix tank controls with a third person shooter and I mean you could get used to it but I was actually getting nausea playing the game cutting it down to 38 frames per second as opposed to 60. made it better but it was still very sus very very difficult to play it was driving is actively making me sick like actually sick it is what it is I suppose I wonder if I should buy any of these guns I bet you this can't do I bet you there's a sawed-off shotgun it's a huge me it's probably an insta kill got plenty of what monies here but I've always been really skeptical I really don't like spending money if I don't need to so you know how to use free to play FPS games are they tend to 10 2PM you know but um I know yeah so I just been playing this a little bit tonight [Music] you're still running the Halloween events there's only two days left though so I guess might as well hang out in the uh event and hang out in the event um event games for a little bit [Music] I don't even really I went from patience is a virtue I went from going like this is number one zero with a negative KTR to having [ __ ] three it could be the last thing they've seen the sniper character of all things which is kind of funny to me but it is what it is I guess foreign this better be a challenge hi foreign I just need to get some points playing these characters so I might as well play [ __ ] the beef head whatever yeah I don't know which one of these [ __ ] guns to use this time I guess I should get some time in the shotguns [ __ ] it the hunt for points begins another point is up for grabs what the [ __ ] is this weapon anyway see like shooting his arm at people or something oh my God no [ __ ] way it is in fact a he has a [ __ ] arm can I know are you okay really that's what the thing is this character is stupid all the [ __ ] characters which is something I don't really see in the game with the cider usually they all have different cultures yeah I don't like this point has been revealed she's not good at playing the offense characters it's funny because the first thing that happened in the last game was playing character and I went star with a triple never happens but what do you expect when your enemies are also [ __ ] dumb straight line so you can shoot them to the other every time I see oh my [ __ ] God you did not just die to me throwing a hatch in at your face I can't even be angry at that I should be happy considering I killed so I [ __ ] killed someone with the hatchet but you know whatever people host a [ __ ] all the time about shotgun to the same thing that girl can tell well they clearly never played dirty bomb if they really think this is broken Point deactivated you have to like stuck stick up to someone's [ __ ] face to hit someone with this thing dirty bomb if you played shotguns too much if it actually made you your first player because shotguns are so broken but in this game shotguns are supposed to be decent if not broken or supposed to be okay it doesn't feel like it though recharge oh my God if I had hit her again with the same Hatchet I was gonna come back patches and express the hell yeah I guess you know what it reloads really fast too that's interesting so you can just Spam [ __ ] hatchets if you really wanted to Marissa give me a [ __ ] med pack do your job Jesus I started playing Medic in this game for the same reason play a dog played the engineers and dirty bomb because no one did your job you know what you can't you can't rely on anyone to do your job you have to do it for them the only problem is because I play support so many so much when I'm playing a character it's not support character I have to resist the urge to play support groups I've suck at both at least this is not like a hero shooter where you hear some classes where you don't you don't need to be good at killing people at all you just need to be able to push q and E this game expects you to at least [ __ ] know how to shoot guns and I hate shotguns give me the [ __ ] give me the M14 [ __ ] it I'm gonna play an M14 and say a solid character I don't give a [ __ ] oh hey it's the only ultimate in this game which is actually an ultimate see what I mean this is the only ability that's actually an ultimate everything else it's not an ultimate everything else it's just either a second gun that you're given or or [ __ ] deactivated but I can't I can't admit I can't um I can't whatsoever another point is up for grabs sorry guys we lost this one we lost 25 to 175 balanced we all have our rules pointed I kind of get the impression that the developers were heavily inspired by Boomer Shooters to make this game because it certainly feels like one even though ttk is really low it's probably part of the reason I like it so much oh this is cool radiation the game gave me two caution pieces cool have I played all these characters at least once I'm just gonna play all these characters at least once they get to free [ __ ] and then I'm gonna go back to playing my main a few beard there you lead a boring life I like the fact that he looks like Gene Claude Van Damme but I just don't like bulky heavy characters I like I like Speedy characters I don't like characters that feel like off a walking tank that just gets smelled making bacon said like even in OverWatch I know I played GSA play Diva but I only play Diva she's [ __ ] cute I would marry uh Mary Diva possibly she can Nerf me all day but I digress let's play orbit next Orbit's kind of interesting actually as a character he also is kind of annoying because of his [ __ ] ability which turns him to a destiny destiny 2 Creature who's the main my main is actually malva people [Music] she revives people to full health she hasn't she has a healing Tower and she throws medkits to people [Music] I should attach a stick to one of these things spice them up a bit and put it on this one here AP 17 looks cute doesn't it nice yeah [Music] yeah [ __ ] it I'll play small boy again punch God TV alive okay I thought I was a person mine planters oh what the [ __ ] was the entire enemy team inside of the room Jesus Christ what the [ __ ] I also like how in this game Reviving people removes score from the enemy team I've never seen it at any other FPS I can't believe medic there's actually an incentive to play medic now and this game decides people alive thanks for the bits one second oh my [ __ ] God I suck at this game thank you for all the bits why are you okay thanks for the bits good morning I got more bits oh my God I [ __ ] suck at this game can I not shoot anything off you yeah more bits man thank you pretty much appreciated it's the only thing I don't like it has like no range whatsoever but I guess let's draw this just has the [ __ ] is this having an Amber Alert oh my God not again anyway this gun does have the highest damage of all the SMGs but it has stupidly High recoil can be called so [ __ ] high if you basically shotgun people with it kill anyone which I guess is the point right I figured if you could aim with this thing it doesn't matter but I didn't realize that it had so much vertical recoil that that is basically that's actually really hard to ask thankfully it looks like I can just hit fire it really well it's not oh yeah even he was confused like before a miracle of science Behold a miracle of science really bro did you just you know what whatever re-kill you know what I've been using this gun wrong I could actually I don't I could actually hit fire with this like close combat I don't need to be using EDS every single [ __ ] time I'm done foreign oh my God 300 horses is now following well 300 horses thank you very much for the follow-up My Name is Oliver Hicks I'm a poster Ai and that'd be a very good day so that's why I sound really down but don't worry I'm sure I'll be able to review myself tomorrow otherwise um see at your friends who have malefic nothing's a pretty cool person oh thank you for the bits so far so good team keep it up so far so good we're actually winning cool all right [ __ ] you two ah I'm trash he said since he can't see anything right now it's not a verified account oh rip well of thought that counts Steve okay also another thing I noticed in this game for some reason making so many people oh [ __ ] me God damn it at first I thought it was just glitch or something but no when you throw mid catch people it actually hopes in them so it follows them reloading [ __ ] ass [ __ ] if I once I change into a pistol you are dead meat you hear me piece of sh oh he's gone damn it ah don't no idiots let me revive you don't give up just remove score from the enemy team oh my God ah my drone save the day thank you I'm pulling him around to follow friends tonight plus their joke is great it is a pretty damn good joke I must sit in I love Creative twitch names being followed by a a uh 300 horses is fairly good reloading cover me guys God damn it foreign oh my God ah [ __ ] I hope I don't get banned for tea bagging just now here's the next follow us Victory we won by two points we'll be back gonna go follow some more friends have a good night and smell a thing if I don't see you later posture ready I mean I don't think twitch cares but I know there's some I know that there's some drama like a few months ago where um someone got tea bagged in Halo and some kid was like I've been totally traumatized by being tea bags in this game because they didn't they were like they were like in their 20s or younger maybe a teenager and they didn't know what t-bang was so they didn't realize that teabagging has been a culture in Halo since it was first released back in 2000 I'm pretty sure twitch doesn't give a [ __ ] but I wouldn't be surprised if there are some people in the YouTube Community who consider tea bagging erberton we play a day in the Halloween event did I get it oh first win of the day sliding SMG kills get off the internet I'm not worthy why am I not worthy oh them yeah probably not I mean it's such a [ __ ] dumb thing to get angry over every time I see something like that where someone gets pissy over such a such a dumb thing I just wonder like what's what kind of sheltered bubble life today live where that's considered traumatic I mean I'm afraid I don't I don't agree with that whole thing where oh everyone has different there are different like levels and stuff to travel and stuff right and it's kind of shitty to compare trauma into CEO who's more victimized and [ __ ] like that but at the same time it's like as someone who has actually suffered actual like sexual being sexually assaulted and sexual abuse and [ __ ] like that and knowing people have actually suffered a sort of thing it [ __ ] pisses me off it's hard to not it's hard to not be contemptu to not have any good for not to have cannot have contempt for people like that like foreign I think it's our my Our Generation that was the Pampered ones but I don't know what the [ __ ] happened to the generation after us and I definitely don't know what the [ __ ] happened to the generation after them and I remember in high school we were being told all the time that oh you need to care about our self-esteem and make sure we feel good about ourselves but then you have like 10 10 [ __ ] 10 20 years later people are like why are these why are why are some of these Millennials they're her are you so easily offended or her I mean what the [ __ ] do you expect and I mean obviously that's not true for all of us right I'm just generalizing generalizing is cancer but there's some people where you could kind of tell that they've never [ __ ] experienced a single a single like they've never been reprimanded I'm not talking about like spanking [ __ ] that I'm talking about if you if you're [ __ ] something you need to be told you're [ __ ] you can be nice about you'd be like hey you didn't do very well in this but here's the way you can improve you don't need to be a [ __ ] about it and in fact it probably is better if you're not con to someone who's not doesn't do something correctly or doesn't do something well but that's you shouldn't tell them like oh it's okay to suck no it it depends if you're trying to do something if you're going into something or you want to do something well you don't get better by being told it's okay to suck no it's not okay to suck you know what so well you know what it is okay it's it's okay to improve from sucking or it's okay to understand you suck and to figure out why do I suck I'll tell you right now why did I suck in this mattress now oh yeah mischunging the range of my firearm uh making stupid mistakes like dashing around corners and not aiming at the head uh doing things like not preparing not using my Med kits effectively not sliding when I need to slide um [ __ ] knowing someone is waiting around the corner and still choosing to go around the corner anyway to get [ __ ] one tapped by a shotgun I can't even complain about oh herder shotguns are broken no that's my zone dumbass fault I got killed by a shotgun fully aware that someone was waiting around the corner with a shotgun don't blame the game for something that's quite obviously and quite transparent since quite transparently your own damn faults because you have the mechanical skill of have to cheese wheel growing down a hill oh I didn't even read your thing I was just going off on the uh going off on stuff I see all the time in the understand Community forums people bitching about balance when half the time they don't consider that maybe they're the problem this is why with fighting games especially I really always take complaints about balance and fighting games with a green assault unless because you especially in really technical games you a lot of times it's not the game's fault it's just that you have refused to understand why you lost like people [ __ ] all the time about me and guilty your strive because she is herder just hits you with like three hits and you're half Health well they don't real but a lot of them miss the fact that she has next to new health herself and that she's extremely predictable a good May is going to play in a very unorthodox way so as to reduce um chances of being you know type red but most people don't do that because most people because a lot of me players myself included are very predictable are very lazy or can get very lazy and before I got canceled by defining game Community or [ __ ] on my own waifu she's not slow she's a Fast Glass Cannon but the fact the matter is she is very much a glass Cannon and people had realized this early on will always find a way around me or you could just play pretend could you just play potent and do Divine but Tim combuster twice there Gigi Nuri all right I guess I'm using the red gun I've never played this character before so I'm fully expecting it to be garbage I love [ __ ] like this like how normally this wall is not scalable by anyone but Recons but if you put something next to it it is scalable It's [ __ ] amazing oh my [ __ ] god where's our medic oh there's the medic nope that's the enemy medic [ __ ] [ __ ] I don't know how to play this character at all our medic just died again I actually don't know how to play this character holy [ __ ] spy drone swarm grenade oh okay oh thank you medic I should have won the gun battle I'm [ __ ] bad oh thank you spy drone now it's actually quite useful so that's how it works huh oh my God so do I just like throw this Grenada people and they die is that how this works Recon grenade Recon class needed my ass you recognize how about them apples that's hack grenade works that's cool my little birdie go oh my god oh I actually killed him okay ah there goes your medic again God damn it you can pick people up it's not medic but it's really slow do you want to avoid doing it except in the case of emergency like right like um that guy should have killed me just then go in Turbo I'm really [ __ ] slow I cannot die very easily because I'm full of glass I'm not good oh my God okay get a piece arm get out the sniper rifle get the M14 really not a sniper able it's an M14 well this is designated marksman's rifle not a sniper rifle there's difference this for stink literally ah sucks to be you pal oh okay I'm on a kill streak cool very very Park oh I know they killed my drone you bastard fire so much for going online discreetly huh [ __ ] ass yeah I'll devour all of you in a very adult manner grenade launcher God damn it you'll never know what you know at first I was afraid I would suck but in 14 but it's just as most things it's just a matter of not knowing how to play this gun properly until I did learn how to use it properly in which in after which I started not sucking as much yo I'm a little prettiest killer killer God damn it kill her ah this is it this is today must be like my anti [ __ ] [ __ ] Mozart uh [ __ ] [ __ ] antelope's ark or something was their head bigger just then or is that just me thanks to revive buddy for your credit oh what the [ __ ] oh that's cool I didn't know you could do that that's good to know one spy drone do your job where where did you see him where'd you see him ah there they are uh you're dead ah I just killed God how about them apples thank you son of a [ __ ] oh my God Behold a miracle of time 66-70 it's gonna be close I need to stop the garbage of this game 's okay I just killed a twitch streamer just now there could only be one apparently what the where did she go ES so 377-77 can we make it two and two two more two more kills oh who the [ __ ] is shooting me God damn it son of a [ __ ] [ __ ] if I hadn't died just then we would have won Maybe God this is also why I say there's so much talk more toxic in the fighting game playing FPS games foreign looks pretty cool though All Things Considered you know what can we let me play some Coop mode after this [ __ ] it I gotta admit that is actually pretty cool to him doing that weird thing humanity is a gift and I want mine back I will use their own powers against them I didn't even know he had German astronauts out there the more you know and knowing is half the battle traditionally I preferred bold action rifles but I really like visiting marksman rifles honestly they're just more my jam [Music] this would be cool too if I can get that [Music] I also don't mind burst rifles in this game in games like this I like how I unlocked the skin for a n-tier assault rifle and it lets me use this even though I don't I haven't actually unlocked it yet [Music] has the highest rate of fire amongst all the assault rifles I guess so does the tornado [Music] this is just a One-Shot kill you know what you know what I played this game for almost 15 hours it's quite obvious that I enjoyed myself and I'm gonna keep playing it more so I'm gonna do a chat I'm going to spend money on this game the [ __ ] is this Shadow Warrior suit makes him look like a [ __ ] Power Ranger or something oh this uh gas mask um jordy's eyes from Star Trek a ear thing and pink hair oh my God you can you can play zarya in this game cool baseball bat and a glass and then why would you are [ __ ] me I'm gonna pay three you're gonna pay for a Stella to trinket I guess you could buy weapon skins too oh so this is where the uh I see so this is okay so that's where the gotcha part comes in right oh oh wait no no no that's this is what the money is for you use the money to buy weapons to uh roll gotcha skins okay so that's I was wondering why I had so much of this well I don't really care about gotcha skin so much been there done that but I don't mind supporting the developers by buying a one-time [ __ ] packs like this right especially since they're Ukrainian I'm sure they would appreciate all the monies that they can get let's see what this actually comes with so I can tell if I actually care enough I really wish I could shoot I guess this is pretty much what you're buying here just a separate armor and like a beanie or something and like oh that's cool actually it kind of looks like a ninja he's blind he's like blind or something I mean if I pay for this it's basically the equivalent of buying a full game right that's 50 bucks or I can just pay for this one instead and just do it for 25 bucks and then we get all the characters most of the characters I actually care about which is like mava get this weird ass haircut here that's kind of cool though you got a beard and epic skins for the weapons or you could support the game by spending all this money for this rail cover which but that's just that's basically just a donation at that point tis the season or if I want to spend even less money I could just get a premium pass thing here right and I'll just unlock all this garbage instead that's actually kind of cool get biker goggles get a bunch of currency here and a bunch of uh reward boxes too I typically you'll even like I don't really like season passes and games I think they're just I don't know I just don't like them I'm kind of an [ __ ] like that sometimes you just don't like something you don't necessarily have a reason there's not necessarily a reason for it or anything really sometimes things just suck and you just want to be angry at everything we really need to stop looking for reasons to explain everything but sometimes there's just no explanations for anything sometimes things are just shitty what you're gonna do about it cry I don't even know what the [ __ ] I'm saying right now I only had one beer it's kind of amazing that I even got online stream tonight given that I intentionally sabotaged everything didn't do all the typical stuff where you're [ __ ] going putting the notes to say on Twitter and all your discords and whatnot just didn't have it done me to care really see we can actually be a [ __ ] A P day Expedition for once really tempted wondering if I really should buy one you know what [ __ ] it give me the Chris give me the fire spray which is really just a Chris vector good thing I saved all this money foreign you could probably just spray and pray then when at least includes quarters I willing to bet you can't do that it's pretty I'm willing to do about this gun is really shitty at range oh my God it has greater stability with lower accuracy than the Senate than the M5 MP5 the range is a little bit higher too so what this tells me is it doesn't shake the spread it's probably not that high but the accuracy is probably what the [ __ ] this is basically both the same thing aren't they well whatever get me a game hurry up game every disease ever eager always vigilant foreign I really hope they expand this roguelike system to include more roguelike systems [Music] this will keep the r d busy for a while thank you cool there's speed put it into a iridium progress game oh it gave me a Impala I'm still alive and why are you dead oh my God game really all right let's see if you can distract them for me don't worry why would it let me revive him really Keen [ __ ] seriously yeah it's not like you Revival I don't know why it's not it's just not this map looks way different than I don't think I've ever seen this man before it looks way different foreign did he finally revive or what the [ __ ] going on this will be the place why is it not letting me reloading now the game's glitching out he's still trying meanwhile our buddy has just got himself killed foreign this game is cursed heads up straight for archives called this one's specimen urchin uh something something power stones [Music] and this file is too long ago look shell guard just shoot the stones then deal with the urchin okay there you go the Power Stone take them down all at once reloading cover me guys shoot the urchin Stone regenerated heal up guys my sight Shields down shoot that ugly son of a [ __ ] in the uh whatever it's got holy [ __ ] that guy thing is a lot of Health wasn't your fault don't reactivate it's just wonderful here's where ammo shoot the urchin where the [ __ ] is sea urchin stored here's the medkit you strip the force field note that [ __ ] Power Stone regenerated you're devastating it people great teamwork out there a power system has been restored take your prescriptions oh my God not again foreign [Applause] changing Max my cycle you're dead it's As Dead As Dead can get we're sending the Drone down for a sample if there's anything left on the wrenched corpse contamination figures went up oh my [ __ ] God really Jesus [ __ ] Christ they're glitch this sucks it's like playing this game on hard mode or something need another vote to confirm hey Kara thanks for the headpad first time Chad welcome to the stream how you doing tonight The Landing is occupied by enemy forces clear them out why didn't you guys [ __ ] vote to leave the game is glitch holy [ __ ] [ __ ] really well I guess we end up winning the spider We're not gonna [ __ ] win this you're good glad to hear it I am not doing so well myself this evening but I'm glad you are so we're playing video games to uh maybe be less angry about [ __ ] welcome to the stream anyway part right I appreciate you everyone won't be [ __ ] [ __ ] stress relief here I may have ammo again it's as if we should have just left the map like the game was giving us the option to oh wait an extraction pointed to me oh I get it in order to escape the map you actually have to evacuate that's interesting points of interest completed not great but not terrible either this is the first time I ever successfully extracted from this game usually we die team successfully extracted four blueprints extracted and we got money for it best healer more like the only healer am I right [Music] I need to get more people into playing this game even if you suck a PVP you could just play The Coop mode in the player versus a PV maps all the time you know still be fun I like your e-match by the way oh there's twitch sheet those are Twitchy modes interesting very cute foreign [Music] XP for playing this no way [Music] I mean hecatum is fun but very difficult to play or rather just do Expedition [Music] let's see if we can actually complete all four objectives for once in this game mode all right folks this Impact Zone has been expanding rapidly over the last few months unsurprisingly it's getting a lot of straight for attention now the strafers may act like a crazy cult but you got to give them credit they are methodic their Tech and data will surely come in handy for both CPL and shell guard so aside from the crystalline research I encourage you to drop by scraper operations and grab as many trophies from them as possible I'll tell you what to look for when you get there good hunting some of them may be taken will require a more strategic approach I don't enjoy this oh my God bomber dogs foreign it wasn't your fault foreign how did you find out about my stream did you just see it on Twitch or something be a little bit discreet today with shooting that's why I didn't bother posting this on Twitter or anything I don't enjoy this foreign that's kind of cool welcome to the Stream thanks police this will ease the pain wow all right never mind then okay remember that nasty orb lightning that's been bugging we had a shoot to make it piss off for a while well it turns out the strafer is using these balls to

foreign excuse me pick the Rockets with My Sanctuary why is this Mission suddenly so hard what the [ __ ] I can't remember ever being as difficult God excellent work so far Central you know you dropped us on an active volcano right we dropped two adjacent you know the strip of security well they run experiments on glassheads I'd say you might encounter quite a few you don't say I've got the little helper you up guys wait a second but that was embarrassing people we can't break it to their system remotely I'm going to send over a joke um what the [ __ ] oh my God that was scary I did not expect that was actually kind of spooky with the [ __ ] you up to me take your prescriptions get up hill the team needs a floor myself nice work team we need you to check every corner find keoni oh my God you know you put up a fight didn't you poor pill you'll be okay is Christmas foreign me guys without knowing how this gun would function uh which gun this one the one I'm using right now it's basically just it's basically just like D5 more or less I swear we will find a more hopeful alternative I mean it's called the M5 but you know it's just a it's obviously based on MP5 at least design wise now how accurate it is to real life we need to get we'll actually have to get a copy of send me the data from that itself look at the icon looks like it's based on P5 but the first reason you looks much longer than it that's because I have a um Barrel a silencer attached which makes it definitely look a lot longer I just beat a fisheye effect from the fov it could be that too I guess from first person it sort of looks like an assault rifle almost doesn't it it's me oh God he's gonna die and he is dead [Music] I'm out of ammunition holy [ __ ] I didn't even notice oh that's not good it's like an ER from first person and when I said what looks songs oh the casing of the barrel shroud okay you know what when you put it that way it does it actually does look a lot really elongated and now I can't unsee it oh my God I just realized this game is getting insane it's been a while since I played this Mission I forgot how [ __ ] this level is at least my teammates aren't leaving me to die on the bottom floor using getting up there looks like a scar first person you know it kind of does actually by the way this game is free to play if any of you would like to join me it's called shadowline think of it as Destiny 2 needs some Call of Duty with Counter-Strike elements and a little bit of dirty bomb in there too so it has a lot of it has a lot of inspirations oh my God thanks buddy I can't see [ __ ] though this is kind of insane oh my God you know what I take it back Destiny 2 has nothing on this up you got the right City Hall into an advanced research lab I got the location head out there and hurry be already no she is too valuable for them valuable how exactly these passes aren't interested in curing anything it's not about the Cure they want to control the crystalline kioni's case could provide insight into how to harness its power it is beyond imagination what they can be capable of despite how too long it looks for a standard P5 and charging handle does not look like it has enough range of movement action function which is where my confusion is from low oh I see what you mean I [ __ ] hate this part of the game this this part of the game is cancer and you're about to see why team keone must be here somewhere about to die again I dropped the uh Tower when he did I can't [ __ ] shoot from just a second you know she doesn't actually pull the charging handle does she yeah she doesn't what the [ __ ] also part why I was thinking of MP5 is because initially it's because it has a relay admissions here even a super reminiscent of the G3 weapon system which the MP5 is part of it I see enemy wounded in the arm Emily wounded it in the arm I'm changing Max she only pulled sometimes again oh my God sorry about having an ADHD random and firearms in your Shadow no I actually enjoy rants about Firearms believe it or not so I I don't mind if it is kind of a challenge to try and read the conversation in chat while also uh trying to not get tkoed right now because this game is kind of unforgiving but it is a fun experience honestly I don't mind at all I try not to get sweaty about PVE games anyway if I ever get sweaty if I ever get sweaty about PV games call me on it I don't want to be one of those uh kind of Gamers anyway take some medicine you don't need to pull the charging handle when you're loading unless you're reloading an empty that's what you're confused about there oh yeah I was confused about that I guess because in a different game dirty bomb I also use the gaming a gun in there which is similar to the MP5 and one of my friends commented that in the reload animation you're constantly pulling the charging handle and apparently that's incorrect you're not supposed to be pulling the charging handle every time you reload and never really understood what he meant by that until you brought it up until you point that out until until you pointed out that no of course not they're not going to be pulling it every time what is going on who are these people they are the extraction team please kioni there is no time for proper introductions you must go with them we must go she must go with us oh here's the fun part this is a very fun part follow the team only when it's safe you can only guess what's about to happen right yep that's right yep yep yep up you're reloading before empty there's still blood in the chamber pulling the charging handle would just eject that and waste the bullet okay and pulling it back is necessary for mc2 and for empty to load the Champ here okay thank you for explaining when you just cannot wait for your guns to kill someone so use your melee weapon instead this is everybody thank you drone though I'm not quite sure why it's always done by locking the gold open before changing the magazine no idea either foreign oh [ __ ] me bomber dogs hate those things so much oh no he's down the MP5 uh leveled up good ah no we got tpked by a [ __ ] bump oh we got one more try okay cool foreign and um wow you still they still managed to kill him for [ __ ] sake oh my God well we managed to get him at least thank you red for making me think of something I hadn't yet what do they make you think of we gotta keep doing it slowly or they're gonna kill us I need ammunition charge and keep a safe distance safe distance Karen Dependable Fanatics all these idiots what can they possibly hope to achieve by this and what do you hope to achieve the only way to win this is to eradicate goddamn crystalline and if the dock is right you might give us the proper weapon IA we'll talk about it when you are safe I promise this boss is gonna make me rage reloading with a closed bolt is harder and might fail to see the mat set the mag properly because the Volvo has push against the top of the Stick of stack of bullets oh really I see oh no what should we do with this Beast ah he killed our DPS chat this is not no bueno how did this happen oh [ __ ] which I guess isn't so much an issue with other systems because I've never heard of it that being an issue at ARs and such I see oh my God for [ __ ] sake oh my God oh my God oh my God oh my God oh my God how many times have I said oh my God this stream alone foreign [Music] area looks like I got his aggro for whatever reason I've aggro the boss no [ __ ] [ __ ] got get not again at least he died on the River on the health Tower go my drone friend finish him finish him oh we did it ass care to explain that thing you did we'll talk about it when I am safe promise this was the pure definition of badass girls and boys let's go home we got things to celebrate objective completed foreign so here's the MP for the uh not MP5 it kind of looks like a it honestly sort of looks almost like a [Music] hmm [Music] thanks for the [ __ ] fanboy yeah it's definitely an MP5 lower at least yeah the top kind of reminds me I was going to say AR15 but when you said scar I can't unsee the scar now out of it honestly [Music] thanks for the hydrate redeem unfortunately I did not bring any water with me I'm gonna drink an energy drink instead [Music] foreign [Music] at this hour too late yeah it's like it's almost it's 2 34 in the morning right now ah I should probably go to bed we're about to reach it's gonna be three out we're gonna reach three hours of streaming by this point anyway which is when I usually get off thank you to everyone who came to this originally unplanned stream I didn't really expect anyone to show up since I kind of intentionally sabotaged um all that but I really appreciate y'all coming anyway in spite of that foreign blueprints to craft a new item though that's sad I guess I don't really need a new item right now right let's keep casualties to the minimum let's keep casualties to the minimum all right time for me to find someone to read this evening hmm I haven't visited VTR Nicky in a bit he's just doing just chatting stream has oh he's doing some art making some cute horror art even though it's no longer Halloween I feel bad that I've been visiting him visited them since the uh smash or pass that they did a while back so let's go say hello to them this channel as a follower or subscriber only chat uh that's through probably the reason why I didn't read him autism like personally someday but I don't really feel comfortable braiding people that have a followers only requirement because naturally it causes people to not you know be able to interact and gives it puts pressure in them to you know follow and I don't like that sort of thing armored truck will take it we'll visit I don't know how this is gonna work but we're gonna try oh my God it's a tank that should be cool instead look at that damn Striker dude what the [ __ ] it's got mines too we're going to

um to present for us and we have Nebraska library commission staff that come in sometimes to present for us um and that's what we're going to be doing today um but I didn't want to mention uh uh couple of things here about the show before we get into today's topic um Encompass live I mentioned we have a recording so I'll show you when we get there um Encompass live first premiered in January 2009 and our that is so as of the end of last year we have 15 years of ENC compus life this is the beginning of our 16th year oh my God that is a lot yes and I'm going through some statistics and to try to put together some sort of blog post or something of exactly um Rod had mentioned you know want to know like where all of our presenters are from across the years we've had presenters from all across the country and I think from outside of the country a few times too um and uh maybe even Canada too so it's it's it's a a lot yeah um we have done I did look up we have done 738 shows um every year we take off the one year the one week that's during our nla conference um and then since Co start um the pandemic started 2020 there's been times here and there we've had to take off on presenters have had covid um various issues um have happened over the last couple years so usually there's two or three a year that we don't do but we have a total as of last week the end of last December 738 um shows 15 years and they're all out there you want to go watch them um so I'm pretty proud this is just an idea I came up with as my previous work I was doing at the commission was wrapping up and I had been doing monthly webinars about some things I said we do a weekly webinar about some about everything Library do we'll see how it goes 15 years later so um that's pretty awesome our first two shows were meet the NLC shows meet the the NLC part one and part two um we start out with introducing people to what we are who we are and what we do here so I uh thought it'd be a good idea to do that again um probably need an update 15 years later now we have had people on from different departments to talk about things they're doing over the years of course in different areas too but this is going to be um there's this is as I mentioned two-part um we've got four people today and four people next week um from the different departments in our Nebraska library commission agency here they going to talk about um who are we what is the library commission who are we and what do we do here everything you ever wanted to know um if you do have any questions throughout the show type into your questions section if you go to webinar interface I'm monitoring that here and I can um grab any of your questions or comments or anything for our uh presenters today um so first up we do have the um director of the library commission Rod Wagner good morning Rod good morning and happy New Year to everyone yes kicking off the uh New Year with this program and my uh assigned uh purpose this morning is to uh offer some introduction and it's good that I start because my colleagues can correct any mistakes I make in my remarks I'm thankful for that uh but to uh jump uh way back the library commission was created in 1901 celebrated our 100th Year back in early 2000 the commission is part of the executive branch of Nebraska state government and her State statutes the commission is responsible for the Statewide promotion development and coordination of Library Services uh that is that was actually U uh the statutory purpose that was uh written into state law back in 1972 I I'm not sure if that same uh I don't believe that same statement was uh in the statutes prior to that time but in fulfilling those functions the commission works with all types of libraries as well as doing many things for uh directly with the public uh the commission was renamed in 1972 prior to that it was the Nebraska Public Library commission and the change emphasized the uh coordinating role and the uh uh intent that the commission work with all types of libraries and support all types of libraries throughout Nebraska also in 1972 And you you'll hear more about this later um uh uh the 1972 laws included the creation of the Nebraska Publications clearing house with a responsibility for U providing government Information Services and collecting and providing access to State Publications but again you'll hear more about that in a little while um a word about State Library agencies every state has a State Library agency also uh US territories have um uh somewhat the equivalent of a State Library agency as well and that uh in part is due to the federal Library program the library services and Technology act which has a major uh commitment of funding that is allocated to the states um under the grants to States programs um the uh the commission is one of many boards and commissions in Nebraska state government um I I don't have the exact number but I I think it's somewhere in the number of uh 80 or more and again Others May correct me on that no no question nobody the commission is among those and what that means is um as a non-code agency code agencies are those that are directly under the governor non-code agencies are those that have a different governance structure the commission has a six-member board those individuals are appointed by the governor they serve a three-year term and they can can be appointed to a second term um traditionally the um commission members are appointed from the Regional Library Regional Library System areas um and until uh several years ago we had six uh regions now we um have restructured in recent years to four so uh uh the governor is not in any way obligated to following that but for the most part Governors have in that um a an appointment is made from each of the regions and then there are two atlarge members uh however currently we do not have a representative from the Central Plains Region and we hope that will uh will change in the coming well actually uh this year when new appointments are made um funding the library commission's funding is about 70% State and 30 C 30% uh Federal again the federal being the uh Library services and Technology act allocation that is uh appropriated annually uh so we have a responsibility for administering the uh lsca lsta that is and each year we or each every five years we are required to conduct a uh an evaluation of the federal Library program in Nebraska and also create a new Five-Year Plan that is submitted to the uh Federal Institute of Museum and Library services and part of that plan we have uh major goals we and a number of uh objectives under those goals that we use as a uh guide for for Distributing uh funding and for uh conducting programs and services that use that make use of those funds so um uh Christa has asked us to uh make presentations covering the major functions of the library commission ranging from uh administrative Services planning and data services reference and Information Services uh government Information Services uh technology and access Services talking book and Braille services and Library development so you'll be hearing about those um shortly beginning with those uh one one other thing I would mention about State Library agencies um Nebraska is one of those that is independent in that we are not directly under the governor that is not the case in in all states some State Library agencies are part of their State Department of Education they may be under the Secretary of State um they may be part of a larger um Department that includes uh other functions such as economic development U Parks and Recreation their Arts and Humanities and so forth so they are different um in uh among the surrounding states we have the Wyoming State Library Colorado State Library Kansas State Library um Iowa has a has a different name which I forget uh it's under the U Department of Education in that in that state uh what's interesting is that is that uh we also have a Nebraska State library and so sometimes that uh confuses individual ual when they uh are familiar with other states um and the Nebraska State library is is under the Supreme Court it's the state law library but it is the Nebraska State library and we are the library commission so um that's my introduction and uh I think we'll have time for questions later on yep if anybody does have any questions yeah type man when you think of them um I will also mention while we're looking at the slides here the links that are on here um when the recording is available later you will have we'll provide these slides as well so all these links in here don't worry about trying to scrip them all down there's going to be more in the future too um you'll have these slides uh may be able to get to all the links that we have on here they're all just to our website anyway so yes Ron I was just thinking when I looked at my old program everything changed everything but not for you would that be true Raj I mean I mean in terms of governance and commission number of systems has decreased but right were there things that really changed a lot we did this presentation 15 15 years ago yeah well of course uh we have evolved along with the U many other with many Trends such as technology and how we do things we do a lot more um provide many more services online even though we were doing those uh things back 15 years ago Staffing and are structurally were very much the same as we have been for a number of years I know for the slides I just here these couple of slides for Rod um they're the same ones that we did use 15 years ago I just had to change the links for our website cuz our URL changed yeah okay but all the same information is in the same places on our website even though our website has changed yes weed it yes if you don't want if if you're interested you can go back like I said all of our archives there you go back and watch the this don't do it from 15 years ago all right thank you thank you so much Rod um we are now on to Le you're up next okay I'll have to talk quickly because I think I crammed too much in here um our computer team consists of three people um myself burn bias uh Denis cley and his primary responsibilities are backups And archiving email management purchasing mailing lists and hardware and backups are a time consuming and kind of thankless job that kind of seem like a lot of effort for little gain but they're vital we use them all the time when someone needs something and they're there it's not thankless thank you been there done that and jenet grer is our health desk manager and it's hard to Define what she does because she has a hand in just about everything and um she is our primary support for the Mandarin Library automation system and has really heavy involvement in all the websites and taking care of websites as well as mundane things like predators and she we need two or three of her actually yeah and my job is to kind of oversee everything try to spend some time on planning for future needs um I've been spending more time on security issues lately than in previous years and that's kind of frustrating it feels like nonproductive time but it's really important um and it could easily be a full-time job and I also do quite a bit of programming which I enjoy that frequently involves um Interactive web pages forms various web services as well as programming that we use internally to manage and monitor things we try to cross Trin as much as we can but it's difficult everybody has more end up knowledge of certain things than the rest of us so um documentation is really important we spend a lot of time trying to document for among ourselves and for future Generations that's ongoing challenge um our job is to manage the commission's computer infrastructure which includes workstations and staff offices Public Access workstations servers printers wireless access points laptops and the network that connects everything together internally into the internet um besides all the hardware we also install configure and maintain and update software that makes it everything work there are frequent updates to software due to security vulnerabilities that are discovered so that's a pretty time consuming part of the job and many many other staff outside the computer team contribute to supporting and creating and maintaining uh online services so we by no means do it all alone and there it's it affects everybody in some way or another and I recently realized that among the three of us we have more than a hundred years of of combined experience and I don't know whether to brag about that or apologize for we're some of us are getting a little long in the just got his gold watch what I think about our job the picture that always comes to mind is the old edivan show and the cir acts where all the plates are spinning they're trying to keep all the plates spinning and I'm sure a lot of you can can identify with that that's kind of the nature of of work [Music] um um a big part of our job is working with the websites and I thought it was worth just highlighting those and maybe briefly talking about some of them the main NLC website uh Nebraska access Nebraska Memories the government documents site in campus Moodle which is the training site center for the book one book one Nebraska the NLC blog and the libraries on the web websites which they're currently 14 of those where we provide websites for libraries that that wish to use that service um our main website is an attempt to bring together all the hundreds of services and resources that the commission provides and it's a real challenge to bring that together in a way that is accessible and easy to use and um when we designed the site we went out and looked at all the other 49 um state agency sites and hoping to find somebody who had found an idea that magically made this all work and we we really didn't find that so we did the best we could um it's far from perfect we we uh if I had one bit of advice for people when using our website I would say start with the search because we put a lot of effort into that and it's I I think it's easier than then trying to maneuver through um the fly out menus and all the the it's kind of a busy site and just un fortunate that it has to be that way you put a lot of work into the search engine yeah you did that bur and we all do but people as they realize that a given topic isn't covered very well by the search will let us know and we'll focus on on improving that we really count on that appreciate it um we need to do it I thought I'd highlight just a few of the notable online services that are pretty heavily used there this isn't all of them but some of the ones that are pretty significant the library directory gets a lot of use that provides access uh to staff and libraries of all types public Academic School special institutional um I think that's it the library jobs database is heavily used and it provides listings for jobs not only in the but in contiguous states uh the book club kits is heavily used U it's grown from A small collection to thousands of of tiles and it's used heavily there are various uh things related to library accreditation including the application forms and U the the various forms that contribute data to that the library calendar Focus a lot on training um staff certification is also a big big feature that's that's provided in many different ways on supported in many different ways on the website uh we provide mailing lists Statewide mailing lists that are focused on various Library topics including one for each of the the four systems um inter Library loan is pretty heavily used and that allows us to more efficiently processed requests for inter Library loans the the various grants that we offer all require application form so we we spend quite a bit of time on those and we we welcome feedback on those it's sometimes challenging to make them understandable so if you're using one of the forms and see a problem by all means let us know overdrive and liby we don't post the actual service but we provide authentication for a number of of liaries the books in sir database is used Nationwide I I think it's not focused on Nebraska it's and I think Lisa will probably touch on that in her her part of the presentation um a couple of items that appear on the front page the libraries in the news I think is pretty popular it brings together news articles from various news media that talk about Nebraska libraries the library bu is harvested from the various Library websites and social media sites so there's a lot of content there um and the search feature on each of the websites is is um something that we've spent a lot of effort on um I want to mention the Omni base because it's kind of central to a lot of what we do years ago in fact it's probably like 30 years ago um we were struggling because when something needed to be updated a staff change or email address change or anything like that we might have had to make those changes in a dozen or more places and it was real challenging of course to keep those all synchronized so we decided to create what we now call the omnibase which is kind of a central database for all the information that we collect and it includes staff data uh for Library staff as well as our staff um addresses emails phone numbers Library boards provide contact information meeting schedules um and other information about Library boards and uh the C data which includes certification status and attendance records for um the certification libraryi and certification program is also contained in the Omni base um I guess I'm getting lost in my notes um I think we're ready for the next SL okay there's more on oh yeah yeah um you're right I did lose my place thank you um we try to we use many different sources to update the Omni base we get reports from Librarians and system directors those are important the biblio stat survey provides a lot of the data especially the statistical data the supplemental survey helps us to keep the directory information up to date as well as um things like social media sites websites um that's a really important part of what keeps the Omni base up today um we also monitor news sources if we see that a library has changed its name or opened a new Branch or something like that we incorporate that into the Omni base and Dennis spends a lot of his time working with email bounces that tells us that something's wrong with an email address and he does research and figures out what needs to be done to make it it accurate um um and I want to finish up by uh mentioning that we like everybody try to improve our services every day and every way we can think of and some of the means that we use to do that include monitoring usage and making adjustments when we see things that that aren't quite right watching for problems we get reports constantly and every 15 minutes letting us know if anything appears to be having problems and try to resolve them as quickly as possible uh we love to incorporate suggestions from users that's one of the most important ways that we can improve things um implementing new and improved Technologies is another means and I really want to emphasize that we welcome and encourage your suggestions and problem reports that's one of the best ways that we can can address making this making our services better and that's the end of my presentation cool um Christa had to step out of the room so I think we're just GNA go on to Lisa and yeah if you want to hand me that thank you let her continue our presentation so I looked at my slides from 15 years ago nobody's here that was here 15 years ago the website's different we had a Twitter account we had instant messaging we had Meo Lots has changed for sure so um I wanted to just reintroduce you to our team and show you some pictures um of who we are so alphabetically by first name Amy Owen comes to us from Elwood Nebraska and seems to know every librarian in the state and because Amy works with updating the omnibase she really does know everybody in the state she works I can't tell you how diligently Amy did digs through school websites to find librarian changes so that when we send out updates for passwords or anything Amy has already updated and her success is yielded by fewer bounces that Dennis has to deal with so Amy just hit 10 years here with us but has a history with Omaha Public Library and Amy has a background in not only information science but um information technology she has two master's degrees um then we have Kathy hatterman and some of you are getting messages from Kathy this is this picture is taken from one of Cathy's Bookface Fridays so I tried to incorporate those in introducing you to our staff Kathy sends out weekly list to highlight items that we have in our collection so you will see her name and I wanted you to know this is an actual book face where you can see Kathy's face those come from her Laura Mooney I took this picture from her Facebook I hope she doesn't mind it's a lovely picture Laura joined us just a little over a year ago is that right correct comes to us from history Nebraska and Laura just got her 25 year service award with the state so just because she's new here she comes to us with great background and I'll let Mary tell you more about what Laura does but I want to introduce you to her because Laura sometimes works at the reference desk as she is right now yeah so you may hear her name and Laura is one of two lauras we have we always have duplicate names here so it's and I come from a Linda Lori Lisa family so I know the Linda and Lor's and the Lisas and anyway L it's really great to have Laura on our sty she has great great background Linda clouse this is one of her book face where it shows her whole face um Linda works with inter Library loan really primarily and also works at the reference desk so uh we used to have two lindas and now we're down to one so when you call for Linda she will be the one who can walk you through um is inner Library loan during Christmas how's that going to work um when schools are closed just and Linda is always available either by email or phone um and is a good person to ask all those in her library Long questions about she's also really excellent at finding digital documents she has a a real sleuthing especially Journal articles ability to find those things so if Linda can't find it it's not out there I don't think so she's a valuable member of our team from that perspective to help you all with those um and in her Library loan is available to schools and public libraries who really don't have the means and the resources to do that so um that keeps us busy there our McKenzie just joined us a little over a year ago hi I think two years in April will be their anniversary and McKenzie is baptized in book clubs so I know many of you know their name but I wanted you to see what they look like so McKenzie came to us recently from another from a law library but is fresher out of Library School than most of us and um is a Lincoln native also is a petsitter on the side so loves animals as we all do all of us here at this table um and a big animal lover so she's very good at that yeah McKenzie does book club spotlights every other week and is really familiar with our collection in incredibly for how long they've not been here has really got a good sense of our collection uh we try to focus on Nebraska titles Nebraska authors Nebraska settings and those in our listing all have a little red Nebraska outline but if you've got a question about something about the book club McKenzie is really the a great first place to start McKenzie also works with our job line and calendar updates and so in many of those updates ver mentioned um those websites he mentioned McKenzie is a part of keeping those updates so that's what Mackenzie looks like there's Mary and one of Mary's book club book based Fridays and I loved that book and I love that I read that on an airplane one day uh Mary will tell you more about what she does but Mary and I work closely together I think of our two as being kind of hand inand yes so I'll let Mary talk about what she does but that's what Mary's looks like and you can see her also so um to highlight our services Vern created this page for us and it's not the whole of the page it's just the top of it but you can search for book club kits to borrow from us if you are a librarian you call yourself a librarian in the school or the organization where you are um I should clarify it does need to be a library or a school library or identify yourself as a library you can search by reading level number of copies perhaps you want to show a DVD after you read it you can search if you scroll down on this web page the Nebraska 150 when we had our cesa Centennial there was a list that one of our staff helped to create to highlight 150 books of significance to Nebraska um we try to provide questions discussion questions um if you have a talking book user in your book club we will show you those books that are available book clubs are not going away and I double checked our circulation I asked McKenzie if they had any idea how many we circulated way under guest it's a thousand over a thousand copies a month not titles um so how many titles do we have now we have 22 over 2200 titles in the collection um and that includes down to reading level third grade graphic novels non-fiction fiction uh it's really there are some span yes thank you we just included some Spanish titles um because we were being asked and it was we took a shot in the dark and got some Classics and some children's Spanish titles we'll see how those go that's a new territory for us to venture into so um that is probably I think all of us have touched book club kits in some way Mary and Amy have helped me shop for books at Book Sales there was a time when we primarily use use copies I'm going to keep moving on here okay so book clubs are big big big in addition to book clubs Book Club Wiki describes all the other libraries that are willing to share their books and Vern has done an amazing job creating a search so if we don't have it you can tell which other library has it that would be willing to share so it's a Statewide effort and it's a unique own its own little inner Library loan system of who's going to lend multiple copies of books and do the systems have the CLI as well all four assistants do so they're all listed there I think I tried to get them all those are all the libraries in the state that say yes we're going to be willing to share and because they all list their books in different ways ver and I had to partner to sus out those titles for the search engine but we we've made you've made it work I just helped you've made it work our Amy does book face Fridays with Tessa and this I just picked a couple of my favorites this is our book uh shop across the street F Francy and Finch and sometimes they're just so spot-on they Delight me so uh Amy provides with Tessa uh every Friday a Bookface Friday and I think they've been at it for four five five years now say five has it yeah so this was one of my favorites and that's the view from my office window and lesie and Megan work there I feel like Mr Rogers they're people in my neighborhood and I adore them so that's that's a very great book face Friday and this was a particularly wonderful one Amy did when she was taking her kids to school and ran out to get this picture and had people staring at her so Amy goes to Great Lengths to get these book based Fridays and some are just really worth celebrating books and series database is in joint uh conjunction with the talking book and brail staff they had lists and lists and lists of books and I went to Vern in 2006 I think and said let's let's automate this so Vern this is another of Vern's Pages where you can search by the author the book title or the series title so Bosch or um Stephanie Plum or mitford um if you don't remember the order of books and it's important to you some for some it's not important but um we have people who then let us know that our lists are out of date need to be added or maybe they question our order and we really work hard to keep that up to date Fantastic Fiction is a really excellent database and we certainly can't compete with that but this database also includes the talking book and Braille digital Braille numbers the DB numbers so that's the enhancement this one is included um the online catalog Mary maybe wants to talk more about this but this is the link to our collection and you can request books from here and you can see the ask a librarian on the top right so I wanted to highlight that Mary's put more work into that than I so I just point that out you can get to this from our front page here was Rod's Friday reads um several of us part participate in reviewing books every Friday and Amy um CL coordinates who is responsible for which week and then Tessa also posts that in our public media so our team coordinate this service uh here's what the inter Library loan request form looks like that Linda works with again this is a Vern form that Vern is created with and tweaked and tweaked when there's a something could you do this could you add that could you change this Vern will do that so um that is what the inter Library loan request form looks like for those of you who use that service McKenzie helps post our jobs page which Vern mentioned for the contiguous states and something we added recently are the jobs you'll notice in the left that allow remote working which is a new part of our world now so that could be anywhere and defies that contiguous State requirement McKenzie posts things on our calendar you can post things on our calendar right under January see the link to add a list add a add to this an item yeah thank you for your our um so you can see we'd like to plan something at our library oh there's already a couple other things planned that day that might not be a good time or nla's going on or there's spring workshops this will allow you to know what's going on throughout the state in terms of other Library events planning conventions the other important Library directory Vern mentioned is the way you can search to see who's the who's the director at the beatric public library who's the director of you can see their hours and their emails and so you have access to all of this because of the work you do to submit your information to us and Amy does to make sure it's accurate can I jump in with yes you may a note there one of the features that I I hope people are aware of is that you can enter a city name followed by PL for public library and find the library quickly that way you may not know the actual name of the library or how to spell it that makes it a quick shortcut that is excellent to mention because we have eight lead libraries nine lead libraries and then several Memorial librar um so they're not all named and some that are hard to spell struck them baits comes to mind yeah craith um yeah right so this is a wonderful website Vern mentions searching by city is an excellent way to find what you're looking for and then lastly my team and that's why I gave you all the pictures those are the fa those are the faces that match the voices that will answer the phone when you call the library commission at that 800 number and that's the basic email you can use for questions you could text us there you could visit us but I wanted to introduce you to the folks who are the voice behind the phone Hall and never a record well never a answering machine of any sort unless we're closed but there will always be a human voice and I believe we always all say our name so you'll know I think we do you'll know who we are when you call in now you know what we look like so I'll let Mary have time got plenty time see do I need yeah that's all right I'm Mary sour I'm the government Information Services librarian and supervisor at the library commission um so um there are two people who work with me on my team uh Bonnie hinsel is the state document staff assistant and Laura Mooney our our newest and government services administrative technician um is also doing you know uh Crossing Lines into uh the reference desk um so Bonnie used to help us on the reference desk but bow out of that and now Lauren Laura is helping um do things um and just to put faces with names um oh you found my photo um me uh Bonnie and Laura just so if you do call for government services you'll probably most likely get me but also you might get Bonnie or Laura so again like Lisa said uh we' love putting faces with names and so this way you can uh you can do that um here at the commission uh in government Information Services the Nebraska Publications Clearing House is by far the largest part of our service umbrella um like uh Rod mentioned earlier the state legislature created the Nebraska Publications Clearing House in 1972 making it a service of the library commission and its purpose is to collect and provide access to all state agency Publications released to the public um and this service is for all Nebraska citizens staff of Nebraska libraries State agencies and the Nebraska legislature um we do get calls from State agencies asking for their own Publications and so that is part of our purpose in collecting them yeah we do not distribute or redistribute these Publications widely um at least not back to the general public but we do send copies to the Nebraska state archives and the Library of Congress um at the the moment we currently have 190,000 print items in the uh Clearing House Collection um the Clearing House Collection also operates and oversees the Nebraska Publications depository program and actually I was going to show you what the Clearing House page looks like but you know just to give you yeah there it is a little delayed there um with various things that you can go in and take a look at but that is uh the main page for the Clearing House you can also get to it by clicking on the government documents fly out menu here you be able to click at the the on the um PowerPoint at the bottom andp up then go to the left oh yeah yeah there we go okay and then I was going to move on to um the depository program um is a part of the clearing house uh including the Clearing House there are 17 State documents depository libraries around the state as and as part of that depository Library all within the same state statute created in 1972 for the Clearing House all Nebraska state agencies are required by State Statute to send three print copies of each of their Publications to the clearing house so if you've ever wondered how do you get or how do we get all of these Publications the agencies are required by State Statute to send them to us and it's only three it used to be four yeah that's correct yeah before the days of online access um they did have to send four print copies and um now it's three because a lot of them have already posted these Publications on their own website and they have a URL so they send us the URL and then we pull that in and we not only have a print copy but then we add um a URL to the catalog record um for those um items so um all documents uh in the Clearing House Collection rece received are available for request through our online catalog um or if there's a URL like I just mentioned in the URL Link in the catalog record you can have in instant access to the document by clicking on the link so I'm going to go back here get this mouse to work it's been let me put it on something that might help there we go um up here at the top of our main web page um is our quick access to the library catalog um I happen to know a particular document number this morning so I'm just going to type that in so you can take a look at what a um state documents catalog record looks like and it'll just a brief record will that pops up and if there's more more than one there will be U several in a list but then um you click on details will give you a more detailed look at the catalog record and like this particular one I wanted to show especially because it does have a web link at the bottom of the record and if we have a URL available for all these documents um it will be at the bottom like this and so it's all very consistent yeah and we don't maintain those Ur So This is the the agencies that send them to us just tell us where to go we're not maintaining all of these online yeah no that is correct yes um the agency that be another thing we to have to do yes exactly yeah the U the agencies maintain their own on their own website but once we pull it into our catalog then that becomes the libraries or the library commission the Clearing Houses um we have to maintain those and so um all of our government documents will have this URL that starts out with Gob dos. nebraska.gov and then usually epubs slubs and the call number um in this particular case the e5700 that yeah so if you click on that link in the U Mandarin U database Catal online catalog it will bring up the document itself immediately so that you have immediate access to it you can download it by clicking on the download button or you can print it off if that is what you need so that's that is um something that we've worked really really hard to um enhance um over the years and I will touch on that part again a little bit later in my what I'm doing so um back to this um we also have um and again this is a Vern item that helped us get here um he helped us redesign a page that we called Nebraska state agency Publications online if you are interested in a quick way to get to a particular State agency's Publications you go to this little dropdown menu on this page um you can click on any of the agencies it will list items not only that we have on our servers but more likely they're going to be on the um State agency's website this particular agency is Department of Agriculture and this is their cattle feeders directory this is something that they maintain and so by um M by us maintaining the link on our page and then you get to it you get the most current information so uh I wanted to be sure and uh point out this uh you can also get to our online catalog from that page so there's lots of ways that you can get around um getting to State documents just from this page along okay um the library commission is also part of the federal depository um there are um let's see 10 other depositories in the State uh we do collect federal government Publications some of us more than others the commission only currently receives about 2% selection of the materials made available through the program the largest collection here in the state is at uh University of Nebraska Lincoln and they are our regional depositor so they oversee the rest of the federal depositories here in Nebraska okay um actually I need to update um yeah a couple of libraries have dropped out in the last couple of years so I need to update this page things like this are always good for finding what you need to to fix yeah here um government services also provides reference um Services um and pretty much part of the information Services Group as a whole but we do also just special specialize in government document reference work um we answer reference questions about state government and its Publications um we do research projects related to various things like for example the most recent one I've had is uh a research project about uh prisoner release after uh serving good time and um so that usually includes searching the various bills to put it into place and uh any related uh information and news um afterwards so feel free to call us or send uh you can always send your question and writing to the um email address there nlc.tv someone in the information Services team will see it and make sure that it gets um directed to the right person and answered in a timely manner um something else that we do as part of the documents program is what I call scan on demand um if you find a document in our catalog that does not have a link to an online version um send us the request and um we take these requests as a scanned on demand opportunity to scan the item add it to the catalog and make it a made uh available immediately to you but not only to you but by adding it to the catalog we make it immediately available to everyone so that's an important part of what we do um the other couple of things that we do uh one of which is new since this was done 15 years ago um the first one that is not new is uh what's up doc and this is an electronic blog and publication from the commission Clearing House service and we list all of the newest State uh we don't do we don't include Federal anymore because we're not adding new items to the federal collection but we do uh let you know what we've received at the library commission clearing house uh in the last two months um it used to be a monthly and it's since become a bonly a little bit easier to maintain now not only do I provide links to the actual item in the blog post itself but I have embedded uh and again much with the help of and thank you of Vern I embed the document itself so again you can see the document immediately you can download it and print it or you can say it you know up to you but this is the most current one I I will have a new one out there later this week you know for the um months of uh November and December this and then um the new blog post that I started several years ago is called book briefs um it also is B monthly because the Clearing House receives documents from every state agency including Nebraska um University of Nebraska press they are a state agency so they send us books that we choose uh for the collection and then um I go through and I add uh a picture that is Court courtesy of the press website um but also title author any book awards that it might have received and the U synopsis uh of the book also courtesy of the press website so we've gotten lots of requests for um checkouts of these books from libraries and Librarians for their patrons based on this um book briefs uh blog post so um here we start a little after after 10 yeah okay we'll go as long as it takes to get through everything we're talking about and know Mary's the last one to speak today um and then if you all do have any questions type in the question section go to webinar interface anything you want to know more about the commission um from the people here today m next week got part two with of Ford other departments so sounds good hold your questions for them for next week um two last things for me um as a vast extension of scan on demand um when I first started working here um actually I will start my 12th year here next week um Nebraska I call this the Nebraska state document scanning project um Laura Mooney um her primary job is not only um Federal documents uh what few that we get of those um her primary job is to scan State documents that have not previously been scanned and digitized and so um when she first started here almost a year and a half ago uh we were still in the A's and she has now turned the corner you know kind of sort of um around the the corner of the stacks um to and she is now in the D's yeah so she is making a lot of stuff that scan is Lots yeah so probably thousands of items that you know just since she has started working here but we want to make as much as possible available online so that people have instant access to it if they find it and a lot of times if they're doing just a Google search um again thanks to Vern um their search May uh pick up on something that we have in our catalog and um they can click on it and then click on the URL uh and get that document uh instantaneously which is you know a real help to people and especially during the pandemic that was a real Advantage you know especially when it came to like the governor's executive orders we have those on the Nebraska access website those were our number one hit and they got uh downloaded u a lot thousands of times you know so anyway um the very last thing I wanted to mention that falls under government services is the Nebraska public document website um it is currently This was um created in 2006 and 2007 and was a um collaboration between the library commission the Nebraska State Historical Society which is now history Nebraska excuse me University of Nebraska Lincoln and the University of Nebraska Omaha and this was a collaborative effort to um provide digital access to Historic annual reports that had been published and bound together since the 1870s um through 1956 and originally the collaboration purchased microfilm of these items from the New York Public Library and then um students at the UNL uh campus went through and digitized them um unfortunately at that time the digitization characteristics and access was limited it did a great job for what they had at the time but the technology has evolved so um in 2019 uh former uh employee Lorie Sailors went through and scanned rescanned every single item that we currently had of the Nebraska public documents and dig redigitized which meant that they got reoc made much more searchable um since then we have been doing lots of cleanup and Vern has figured out how to do a much better OCR technology on these documents and so has reoc all of them um also in the meantime we have located and added missing items from the collection um some that were already in our catalog in our own uh Clearing House Collection but others that had come to us from uh donations of old documents and old bound items you know so um we're very eagerly waiting uh awaiting the new website and the the current one is being hosted at UNL um but once we get everything finished on our end then they will turn over um hosting to us and we will be hosting the new Nebraska public documents website so hopefully sometime later this year yeah so that's all for me U feel free to contact us anytime if you have questions or in need of a document yeah um let's go back to the slides there we go there we go it's all good all right all right so that is our um there we go uh does anybody have any questions that is our part one of our me the NLC

Divine Timing, Divine Connection
hi bunnies happy um almost Scorpio season I know we're not quite there yet but we're on the cusp so that's being said it is spooky season which is my favorite month you guys know I love October speaking of which where is my spooky deck I was gonna use it and I don't know where it is I gotta find it I don't know anyways this is going to be a general love reading for all signs we are going to be using the intimate deck this one right here so if you don't like tasteful nudity and art then please you know bypass it do not report me just go along your way everything is Tastefully done you know if you're that much of a prude that you are uncomfortable with your own sexuality and the sexual images in these cards and go find something to do with your damn time besides bothering me and this reading is going to be 18 and over obviously because I'm using the dirty deck it was just one one on my phone so no weapons shall prosper against me if you don't like it then I am protecting my energy right now so okay okay so let's Dive Right In I'm gonna start out with my um beauty of horror tarot because it's October it's my favorite month it's spooky month and I have to all right so what do we got what is the first things we need to know I need to make room all right what is the first thing we need to know I'm an open Channel The Veil is thin speak through me to me and for me allow me to be the clearest channel for Spirit messages Source messages the ancestors of the ages the Angels anyone who wants to experience love let them experience it now in this moment with me I don't know where the hell that came from sometimes every channel is some crazy [ __ ] whoa five of Wands we keep getting that card so there's this overall energy of like people experiencing just like conflicts and conflicting feelings whoa well someone's conflicted over a female a Queen of Wands to be exact a fire sign they are feeling some type of way trying to fight off some really strong emotions good luck with that anytime you try to fight anything off it just comes back stronger so like I said good luck all right [Music] eight of Pentacles see working really hard to fight off emotions we'll see how this turns out let's keep pulling cards shall we I think you're fighting a losing battle if you ask me but two more cards please sir yup see we got King of Swords so someone being way too logical [Music] thinking about a future with this person this Queen of Wands but oh we got the Chariot again oh okay we got we literally have two cards of fighting off emotions you know in these love readings when these cards come out we have five of Wands we have the Chariot fighting this one is fighting off a lot of desire a lot of sexual desire a lot of sexual tension fighting it who's in control is it you or is it the horses or in this case is it you or the casket who's in control so you may think by shoving these emotions down and using logic to um sort of explain away these feelings that you're feeling for this Queen of Wands right here but the fact of the matter is you're drawn to her for a reason there is a reason that her sensuality and her sexuality are drawing you in is it to heal is it to love what is the reason what is she reflecting back to you okay if you're drawn to her it is for a purpose and you fighting working hard to fight off these feelings is going to do nothing but create inner turmoil and conflict within yourself using too much logic and using too much mind instead of heart these need to be balanced in order for you to find the the best path for you and your highest good now look this is um I mean it's a Divine masculine energy but you know put it where it fits in it's not about sexual gender if you relate more to this Divine masculine energy then it's for you you found this reading for a reason my my readings are Timeless and there's a reason for that but look looking out on the horizon knowing that something's missing looking out to the future but feeling like there's something that is missing look at this King of Swords he rules but look at how miserable he looks look at his face he's got a beautiful kingdom but he looks out at his kingdom he looks out and he sees nothing he sees light in the background in the future and he goes you know I see I see the light he sees something shining in the background that's getting his attention but you know there's some kind of um there's some kind of conflict going on within him you know all right we're going on to the light Sears lazier oh this deck I need my need to get a new deck this this stack is let me tell you all right what what else did we got Spirit what else do we need to know so long story short we got some Divine masculine energy again fighting off some feelings for a Queen of Wands possible fire sign Aries Leo Sage Queen of Wands is very sensual she's very sexual um she's she's got an earthy fire energy about her she's not afraid to be confident in who she is she's up front with her feelings Three of Wands see there's that divine feminine two energy looking out we got we had Three of Wands twice what are you waiting for you're standing there on the shore look it this is a divine feminine standing there on the shore looking out you know um she's surrounded by her fire and her passion she's letting her fire and her passion rule her energy right but she's also looking towards the future she's looking towards other things she's waiting for her love shift to come in right she's got everything else right that she wants oh yep see okay let's keep going spirit so for the divine feminines you are letting go of a lot of heavy energy right now you let go of a lot of stuff you're moving forward you're learning new things focused on yourself you're learning to go with the flow and it shows me that Justice will be served we got Justice here which means you're getting what you deserve in love there it is Boom kunani okay so look Six of Swords you have learned to go with the flow okay you're letting the waves take you where they will okay page of Wands learning new things you have lots of reasons to feel joyful okay and this is a beautiful energy to be in because it's attracting literally everything that you are trying to manifest and you are trying to bring into your reality from your Vortex okay I don't know what that is look up Abraham Hicks she talks a lot about the vortex but you are creating your best life literally piece by piece because you're using your energy okay so you're using this this focus on yourself and this these reasons whatever it is that you're finding to be joyful okay look this is my joy card the whatever it is you're doing you're learning the ways that you're finding Joy okay is bringing in this energy of Justice now this is Libra energy we're coming out of Libra season right so believer season is all about Justice the skills being evened out getting what you deserve okay and divine feminines this you have done your work you have done your work and it shows because look at what snacks we have ten of Cups this is everything that your heart your beautiful beautiful heart has is Desiring right now right you're not living in fear see the Divine masculine was is having some fear energy right now there was this I just did a reading eating for is this your story and there was a lot of fear energy again coming from the Divine masculine and from the divine feminine she's in a total different headspace I mean look at this she's also looking out at the future just like the Divine masculine we got the Three of Wands for the Divine masculine as well but she's looking out there and she's she's using her fire her creativity she's letting her passion engulf her she's letting it lead the way you see how she's surrounded by the fire that's you know her following her passions her creative Endeavors right Letting Go releasing finding Joy learning new things and because of that the Universe says the scales have tipped in your favor and here is your ten of Cups okay one second I have to pause sorry about that guys my kid took a [ __ ] so yeah um Mom stuff my kid took a poop he's four so yeah y'all don't know Mom Duty I'm 42 and I have a four-year-old and I'm doing this so y'all need to show a little bit of gratitude give me a big tip or something because you know I'm I'm doing this reading my four-year-old pooped he's still in pull-ups I went I changed his diaper I washed my hands I went pee the toilet paper roll ran out I had to go into the other closet to get some toilet paper and put it in the toilet paper roll and then I had to come in here and try to hurry up so that my video didn't unpause so I could be here for you guys okay so I made it I'm not giving up I'm a resourceful little [ __ ] and that's why I'm here we gonna keep going okay so we're gonna end at that at that um we're gonna end at that part for the divine feminine Okay so let's pull some romance Angels actually no I don't want to pull this the romance sandals I'm gonna pull from the booty tear off so let's let's pull some of these I am tapping into the collective the cup I can't even talk the highest Collective energy field right now okay what do we need to know coming up on this Scorpio season self-love is important at this time put yourself first take care of yourself and be gentle with yourself thank you don't worry about the poopy diapers it's just your present I'm just kidding Love Is in the Air you are attracting someone you truly desire the partner you've always dreamed about by the [ __ ] time right I know it we're gonna get two more oh let's get one more all right we have it takes courage to get out of your comfort zone but doing so will lead you to Opportunities you've always dreamed about so Spirit has given you that shove to get out of your comfort zone your love life is improving the work you've put in to improve yourself is changing your beliefs and attracting the right people into your life beautiful there you go all right there's your proof that your self-love is improving your connections um your love life has been complicated all for very good reasons you must learn these lessons to attract the love you deserve so you chose a harder path because you knew that in order for your soul to evolve into your greatest um Triumph of love in this lifetime you had to have a complicated love life you had to learn all of your love lessons you may have chose a really hard karmic path in regards to love so you might be feeling like right now that your love life has been very very hard and very complicated and all for good reason you had to get those lessons out you had to learn them why is my light not on you had to get those lessons out and you see them all discombobulated you had to get those lessons out and you had to learn them early on so that when your great love Came you could be prepared for that great love right because that is what you're trying to manifest right it's a great love a twin flame twin soul relationship right and that's what you deserve if you found this reading then by golly I can guarantee you're a twin flame I am a twin flame reader that is what I do all right so um let's pull some of this Oceanic Tarot yeah let's let's let's pull two cards from here see what is coming out two two cards foreign place whoa that one flew out so we're gonna take this one which is death transformation so we are coming up on Scorpio season and Scorpio season is all about death and transformation for those of you that are Scorpios or Scorpio rising or who have a lot of Scorpio in your chart this is going to be your main theme for the month of Scorpio five of Wands competition so there's there's this energy and this card keeps coming out as well too so there's this energy of people wanting what you have right vying for things that they think they need that you have and this overall energy of sort of like jealousy um and five the number five which is change right so try to not let yourself get wrapped up in the chaos or the jealousy or you know um by all means remain humble when your success comes rolling in which it will um especially I feel like in this this month these months coming up November December some of y'all have been working really hard you're going to reap the benefits of that right that's what this feels like and a lot of people are not going to be happy about that because you know they're gonna say well what's so special about this person when in reality you know they just didn't follow their souls calling and not everybody has the courage to do that it's it's not an easy path you know to follow your Soul's Calling and to not let fears of you know needing that stability or knowing when you're where your next paycheck's gonna come from like I live by the you know by my fire my soul's fire so I just do what I feel led to and at times it gets really scary there's times when like my bills are due and I'm like what am I doing like am I gonna have the money to pay these off and always always always always miraculously at the last minute Spirit comes through and I always have everything paid on time always so but it's really hard to live that path and to and to embrace it and to trust it and you know not everybody can do it and so those people that don't live their life by this path are gonna be like well why is this person getting this and getting that and it's because we trust We Trust we have faith we have given our life to Spirit and said I trust you I trust myself and we give ourselves over and surrender okay we stop wondering where is the money gonna come from how is this going to get paid how am I going to do this how am I going to do that and we just trust that everything that we need is going to come to us when we need it and that is not an easy way to live trust me I have three children and living this way sometimes is scary as us I'm not gonna lie but I've always been taken care of so when you're [ __ ] gifts and your stuff starts rolling in there's going to be a lot of jealousy [ __ ] them be successful anyways you've earned it okay we're gonna get one more card and we'll be done two of Swords Crossroads so a decision needs to be made about something let's see let's put one more card why do we have the two of Swords here what decision needs to be made a decision about what what is the decision that needs to be made what is the decision clean Spirit can you give us some Enlightenment about the decision at the crossroads Ace of Swords Victory wow so they didn't really give us any really good feedback about that I can read it and see you know like every tarot book is different and this one is no exception it says Beginnings decisions again see decisions so we have two cards of a decision so I they're not really stating what the decision is I asked for clarity and they gave us more decisions it just says a breakthrough as you cut through confusion to win power and success I told you didn't I say when your success comes there's going to be some that are going to want what you have competition and but yet it says you're going to Triumph it says the ace reveals you will benefit from a smart decision that leads to immediate victory if you've been besought by uncertainty or delays in your plans this Ace shows a breakthrough as you cut through confusion to win power and success see I told you I told you guys I'm good at my job you're gonna if you book a reading with me I know what I'm talking about I literally said some of you are going to be getting some success breakthroughs because you've been working hard I said that and then we got two of Swords um a decision and Bam there it is a success card it says in relationships she'll make a positive new beginning um it's a card of mental clarity a legal Victory there you go or a Triumph in an argument or a debate use your intelligence and victory as yours see it says right here Beginnings decisions action Clarity determination Solutions and ideas so if you have any divinely inspired ideas about where your career path should be going follow it follow it because it's going to lead your success which is going to make a lot of haters to drink their haterade it was just 23 23 okay let's pull some cards from the love Oracle I'm just I'm just falling with it I have no idea where this reading is going where it's headed we're just rolling with it all right that's all what do we got spirit what do we need to know this reading is for me as much as it is for you guys so you know I predict the highest timeline for all of us so we gonna go with this all right we got this you know obviously I do personal reads for myself too when I have a chance but pretty much the same told you Divine timing you have to be patient because when your ship comes in it's gonna come in believe me we're all on different timelines but if you're watching this reading your ship is on the way it's right around the corner it'll be here in about three days just kidding but yeah seriously it's common Divine timing the universe picks the perfect time in the perfect moment to give you your gifts and look it for some of us that gift is coming in the form of a magnetic attraction a new boo-boo this person has been drawn to you for a long time and for those of you that were waiting on that message bam there it is so it's been Divine timing right all of your gifts all of your blessings all coming in at once there's someone who's been magnetically attracted you for a long time they've been silent I don't know why nobody knows the reason but look that message is coming through okay on the bottom of the deck we have healing it's because you've done your healing work let's pull one card from the romance angels and then we're gonna pull from this sexual Tarot deck and see um how you know this person wants to be loving on you okay yeah we're gonna go there today it's gonna be great foreign a crazy mood I had to change a shitty diaper my kids interrupted my last reading like 15 times so I'm in some kind of mood today I'm just letting Spirit flow I flow okay oh it is safe for you to love open your heart to give and receive the highest energy of all so it is your time to shine it is your time to love let go of all the fear let go of all the trauma let go of all the pain let go of all the suffering let go of all the limited beliefs and allow yourself to love you are right now perfect perfect as you are and you are lovable as you are not richer not thinner not more beautiful not more healed right now in this moment you are perfectly perfect for love I'm gonna say it again you are perfectly perfect for love as you are right now you don't need to change anything unless you want to you are worthy of love right now as you are worth waiting for divine timing is at work in your love life I told you for some of you the reason this love has taken so long to get to you is because Spirit had to custom make this person just for you like literally it's like if they took your heart's desire and they said all of that plus 50 million other extra things which are gonna wow your ass I'm serious that's it was it it took so long because it was so good it was so juicy it was so delicious okay it was worth waiting for spirit said oh you think that you know you deserve this no you don't you deserve way much way way way much better than you think you deserve and they had to wait until you were ready to believe that you were worthy of it and as soon as you felt they felt your vibration shift and your frequency change and they knew that you knew they knew that you knew that you deserved it they were like we're bringing it in here it is [Music] there's your person that's why it took so long though they were waiting on you they're waiting on you to shift your perception and your perspective and your vibration can I make it up all right let's go a minute tonight you guys I'm glad this reading you know spilled forth from my [ __ ] loins because I had to go I don't know what the [ __ ] I just said oh my God I'm sorry I'm in some type of moods at night I'm on fire I'm on fire I'm Firestone we on fire okay the fire sign is on fire all right let's go so let's get some sexual Clues how does this person want to love on you let's do it what is the desires of their heart what they want to say with their body whoa that one flew the [ __ ] out okay so ten of Cups there's an offering of love some of you um I keep getting this vision of chocolate so they it'll be a clue if someone sends you chocolates or they mention chocolate I don't know maybe your person really really likes chocolate and in this card it looks like she's offering him a piece of chocolate I don't know for sure but it might not be chocolate but it feels like chocolate your person is a hugger they love to hug there's it's very Ace of Wands type energy too so very sexual possible fire sign Aries Leo Sage the lizard on the car to me represents one's like the salamander they love to hug oh they're very playful we're definitely dealing with a fire sign all right so this is the card see she's offering something to him it feels like um an offering of love there's I don't know it looks like chocolate it doesn't have to be I mean it could be a flower but if you look down here these things look almost like um what are those things called they start with an m ah Maroons no maroons I can't think of what they're called Mac macaroons macaroons I don't know I'm channeling something and I don't understand what it is I think they're saying macaroons I don't even know what those are but if you know what they are if you know what I'm trying to get at it's some kind of pastry it's like chocolate it looks like a little Burger Spirit be showing me some crazy [ __ ] so if that resonates with you comment down below I have no idea what the [ __ ] I'm channeling um so the seven this is I think this is seven of Wands so this is the energy of a fire sign very um they like to cuddle they like to hug and like I said we're dealing with the fire sign look we got fire right here again you probably can't see that the glare is too strong there's a torch here four of Wands so this person definitely wants to create some stability with you they want to to build a life with you the four of Wands is about you know having a home um marriage things like that there's also obviously some playful energy look they're on a Lover's swing we also got fire in this background right there that he didn't notice you see that um all right let's get three more cards from this and then we're gonna do a mermaid must and spirit message and wrap it up so when it gets to 34 minutes it's gonna go into another video and I'll have to splice them together and edit it which is okay but Knight of Wands I told you someone is ready and geared up to offer some love we have Nave of Wands I'm sorry that so Nave of Wands is page of Wands and then we have Knight of Wands so yes this is all fire sign energy someone wants to come in with an offer of love it could be a possible fire sign also with a water sign like um Pisces Scorpio it's the other water sign what's the other water sign I don't know Pisces Scorpio there's another water sign I'm missing is it cancer it's cancer um because oh no that's not water that's a tree okay so I was wrong I thought it was water for some reason well some of you might be dealing with a water sign because that's what I upon uh see it already went into another file so upon closer inspection I thought this was a wave I thought these were waves upon closer inspection coming to find out it's a tree so we have Earth sign energy we have all signs energy here Earth sign fire sign again there's that fire in the background so this tells me that this person whoever I'm chilling for it was just 333 on my phone on my camera very passionate very passionate very fiery very romantic Knight of Wands look the most romantic um one of the most romantic signs in the deck they're very passionate and for riding on a horse so it's very like white nights romantic chivalrous type energy we're gonna get one more card what else does this person want us to know whoever I'm channeling for what do they want whoever is watching to know last card oh they cannot find the right words to say though they have written you a million love letters a million poems and they crinkle them up and they throw them away they just cannot find the words to tell you how they feel and again we have look the black cat which represents like Hidden Shadows um this person could possibly practice witchcraft or like like you know be like a wizard or a witch the black cat's name represents Magic to me this feels like a person who could possibly be a writer or a poet again fire sign energy there's the candle very passionate they've seen you before with other people and it literally drives them crazy and that it was almost enough to push them to the edge to come forward and speak to you yet they didn't you see that he's there is a divine feminine and a Divine masculine back here and they're kissing under the Moonlight and this person has been aware of you so whether you're a divine feminine or Divine masculine doesn't matter this person has seen you with other people and they didn't like it it was almost enough energy like I said to bring them out but and look at that on the bottom of the deck we have five of cups and there it is this is my twin flame card I told you there's a flame right there again fire Sound Energy but this is Twin Flame I'll tell you why there's a face in the mirror it's it's her reflection so this is the Mirror card right your person reflecting back to you what's in your soul mirror flame twin flame this is my twin flame card for this deck all right so we're going to get a mermaid message from your person this is the last thing that they want to tell to you that they want to say to you the deepest Hearts desires that they cannot bring themselves to tell you what I'm going to tell you from them I got you what is the last thing they need to know Spirit let's wrap this reading up I see our starch star Siege ships Some Nights some nights so this person might be a sky Watcher they might watch for alien ships at night I'm sorry I know I hurt you and I feel like I'm drowning when I look into your eyes so um again we got the energy of um a starseed so your person is a starseed okay it says I see our starseed ships some nights so if you're a starseed most likely your person is a starseed and they have a tendency to look up at the sky and when they see the stars at night or they see the the ships up there then it reminds them of you because they know that you have had lives on these galaxies together as a star seed and they're saying they see there's your starseed ships where you guys have had you know maybe different missions you know together right the rainbow is also indicative of a reunion so if you're in separation from your twin flame There's Hope and the next card says I'm sorry I know I hurt you so your person is saying yes I did I did hurt you and they're sorry take that how it resonates um there has to be been a reason that they did what they did possible probably most likely trauma it's not an excuse I'm not excusing their bad behavior but remember that your twin soul is a mirror so they're only mirroring the hurt that you are radiating out due to a past wound right and it says it feels like I'm drowning when I look into your eyes so they have a thing about your eyes they love your eyes they are in love with your eyes to them it feels like they're drowning in a pool of Desire when they look into your eyes hmm they need to come up for that breath of air when they're staring into your eyes you know I seen this um this a post on Instagram that said something about twin flame eye contact is very very intense so if you were to for example look at a picture of your twin flame or you know look into your twin flames eyes you know somehow you know even if you guys are not have never met in the physical like say for example you know you do what I do like maybe you are a social media you read tarot whatever it is and your twin flame happens to stumble upon you or your or your picture or a video that you made you know on your social media if they were to look into your eyes even just from the picture or from the video they would feel an instant shooting of like desire and sexual strong sexual desire but also this surge of like comfort and home and feelings of intimacy because they know you okay so we're gonna wrap this reading up it's got really long and um I keep getting interrupted so we're gonna end with the spirit message and we're gonna call it a reading you know I also saw this really great post on Instagram that talked about that we sort of attract um the shadow side of us you know this woman was talking about like to look at yourself almost like a yin yang symbol so the dark side is or the yeah I think it was she said the dark side is like what you show to the world and the white side is the things that you hide because you think they're not socially acceptable so if you're showing the dark side off which and it's not I'm not saying like the dark side but I'm saying like you know the shadow side which and it's confusing because it is the shadow side but we're not talking about like a shadow like Shadow work like we're talking about this the dark side of the yang symbol is what you show to the world it's like what you feel is socially acceptable and normal and then the white side would be things that you repress because you're afraid to show so for example you're completely outgoing and that is your side that you show to the world you're gonna attract some one who is quiet because they're gonna see those qualities of like the outgoingness in you and they're gonna be like Oh I like that and if they're your person is attracted to that because they want those qualities themselves then you're gonna attract them in right because they want the quality that you have so your greatest thing that you can do for yourself in order to attract your person is to remember that's your whole and show all aspects of yourself the ones that you don't like especially the ones that

The Digital Loop S01E03 — Experience Design
ladies and gentlemen hello and welcome to the digital loops season 1 episode 3 i'm paul van de metrio in London and hi hon hi everybody this is even a man this all the way from Warsaw in Poland we're covering snow white cold again are you kidding your card I was in Krakov like until two days ago it was kind of ready they were saying about the snow baby was not sorry for once I'm happy I'm the one having son here and you're recovered in SLO hey yeah yeah Wow someday someday will be warming and a nice yeah okay so what do you want to talk about today mean we had some discussions before there was something really interesting you stumbled upon yeah I mean one of the things a couple of weeks ago we share we share each other this article we find I find a very cool article by George Prest he's the executive creative director for our GA in London yeah I'm a huge fan of our DNA but uh and now i'm a big fan of this night yours pressed the rock man really good here at a fantastic article in The Guardian call advertising is dying don't leave design Yeah Yeah right enjoy it was really good and we had this discussion we talked about you know the impact of design in communications in marketing and when he connected with advertising I think he really really really nailed it on we wanted to talk a little bit about at ski just keep it in the background of what the article says is this pretty much less how at the beginning long time ago it was all about relationship is all the information ship with between between the companies or organizations and consumers because of the product because of the relationship etc then advertising arrived and the whole metaphorical journey and the stories and dancing bears and all this thing that happened that started to change the way brands the way people sell their products um I really like this that you can get away with BS anymore if people want to find out more about your program they can go online see the really and behavior the brand is up to the message the experiences they create are more important than metaphors that date way and very good a statement the fundamentals of marketing now are about products and experiences that we create around them and what that boils down is to design a really really cool stuff then layered up how would you do so how would you describe design them according to what you just said this enemy the thing is um that's a very good point maybe a lot of people think about design us let's say decoration grass the extra stuff and when many people don't understand is the design it's at the core of everything at the core of the product at the core of the structure at the core of the communication to experience of everything all actually yeah exactly and um what is computer the reason I'm asking is that because they're being you know especially since Apple started the iphone arena in 2007-2008 everybody started in speak saying about all your product your product is your marketing which is sure to a certain point people like especially with wearable technology because we have more and more stuff on us so we don't only have the computer sitting in on a desk but we have an I'm talking only consumer web concerns good consumer technology but we have you know an iphone with us or samsung galaxy whatever that is we have wearable technologies now we have the people took many many times already about the Google mess and all these products are on us of course we want them to look good but design this is not only that design goes much beyond beyond that most people when you tell them about design you will think about how you looking brow that you know the products is very well laid out it is beautiful to look at whereas actually design goes further it goes also the UI UX how you use it while you use it how you so basically friends that there was this another consumer technology where's our thinking is that the article he also mentions nest yeah yeah so this is so basically for me when I want to believe it design goes much further than most people will think about and design is the best example but again i'm traveling a lot like as you know and experience design is for me to move through the key pardon for example an airline we all know that most airlines so i can be the experience inside an airplane is becoming worse and worse than me especially for me and one night is 64 65 and I had never have leg room and people only think about that part whereas design is like where do I start my journey into buying a ticket and deciding where to go so it's like it's not even the app that I will use to check it its way before us why would I use this is this airline and then when I go to the airport I've got all these little reminders that you're on is you know wherever that it could be a lot it could be just information on my eyes and then you did a further phrases the app then there's the immigration which usually they don't have any hold on to an investor a partner for the airline for the airport to all these creeps up here is the only way that's good studies that show then when you arrive in the airplane if the experience before it was kind of smooth experience in the next experience you're viewed more relaxing the airplane need for the same airplane the one that you sucks your Red Room you won't be as much complaining because maybe that's the rule the market American Martin is a very thin for the airlines as if weather if your your experience before was already sucky you're having her when you're like ah you're really damning and then your first maybes friends to start a complaint online so that's for me design is the experience experience first everything else to get us to be inside do you agree with that I totally agreed I totally agree but I'm I think that it's awesome that when you start putting into consideration all the different elements and when you start connecting them and the interesting thing when I guess design comes into place as well is when you connect the stuff in a way that it's a easy user friendly in a way that it's nice in a way that makes sense um you know you talk about service design you're talking about experience design you're talking about information design how do you get access to the information yeah how do you check in how do you check out so basically it's it's it's it's connecting everything together innovators not only make sense when that it creates a great experience and this is things it's something that I guess many companies are not there yet they are still focused on on you know maybe creating a good product I mean and this is the core product design is at the core if the product sucks I don't care how good your advertising yes that is just your it's going down should take out a big I mean if you have the worst product with the best campaign ever it won't change your product right yeah but I mean this is something that again it's connecting everything together and you don't mean I mean we talking about the work experience but at the end of the day that's what it's all about and this is something that that again going back to the article George put it in a very nice way that he believes that advertising connecting advertising and design advertising should become another part of the design resurgence pack 12 demonstrative of design pointing to deeper online experiences indeed the table behaviors and reality so advertising should be part of this design experience not just you know we have a pen so what can we say about the band okay let's put something and let's put a fan app on facebook you know this is something about going difference about thinking you know the entire experience and not too okay so I need ideas okay sometimes it's also boils down to the fact that companies maybe have I'm not talking about the supply chain may be also the very the agency as is separated for the company is not enough maybe connection between that used to be a think campaign they won't think about a single you know about the UH about the total experience between the protein starting from the product to go through the campaign which is which is a way to surface the quality of the product yeah I think I mean I mean I think this is a different way of thinking as well um actually in the conference where we met because just to give a little background we met we met at the chief marketing officers Congress last year last year is true yeah and in my presentation that i gave over there I spoke about the difference between you know an agency's very often is the different between the traditional guys and their the digital guys the internet guys yeah and one of the things that I mentioned is that what I see in many agencies is the different way of thinking you know that the traditional guys they think storytelling they think about stories while the internet guy detail geyser thing more systematic design and there is this conflict between both parts because you know one parsecs we are creative you guys are not the other guys going high you're just telling stories we are the ones that deal the stuff and what I always say is that agency the moment that they understand that it's about you know creating a platform where you are able to communicate you know that the elements connected with a platform not just with the product not just with a metaphor but also what's connected with that platform that's how you create a long-term communications platform on not just a big idea and a big campaign that I the last three weeks and then it's gone but so how how would you so how will you choose I mean because you said I agree with you too costumey you just you just laid out I agree this these two types of agencies have seen that as well uh but how can you how a brand can know that before choosing agency how because at the same time even though I quit the Academy in 11 part there's too much storytelling sometimes on the other part is too much there's not enough storytelling that's also what sometimes missing how can you how get a brand actually force maybe their agencies to actually have these kind of two layers at the same time I think I think it comes down to design I mean if you look at agencies that are really really successful those are the agencies that are really putting designer at the core of everything they do agencies like our GA that is like a geeky way there are many many agencies that are really successful because they are going deeper that is coming up with a big idea for a TV ad or reveal one they are thinking you know long they're thinking about all the different touch points the thing about every single experience that the consumers are having that's when they designed the communication based on that and not just like okay I have an idea a guy enters the room looks at the camera and things oh this is a great phone maybe I can call my mom watching you know it's not it's about you know something deeper than that yeah I mean then again I agree with that because it's exactly what I said if i move my airline example that I want the whole experience to be laid out in a single a single story in a way because I'm a story going in a plane and going off of the plane but uh it also requires not only a word from the agency also requires the right mindset in the brand because there's also many brands many companies maybe when they go to agencies they just want to sell something as quick as you want so the transformation is is not only on the agency agency part to become more integrated and have all these touch points all these this design thinking basically but also the brand's themselves or the company's themself to have this type of transformation inside them otherwise it will still be you know I've still seeing I guess you see the same thing and still see many many many companies were very siloed whether it's like product and the other guys are like PR the other guys on communication in the other girl supply chain the other guys everything is seems seems completely separated so how the hell do you want to serve them I want another heavily on such a company to be able to reach out to such one of the agencies you've you've mentioned and actually create such an experience if the company itself its DNA is not ready absolutely i mean i think that's very common and that's a big opportunity because until companies realize exactly what you said there is going to be this clash that you know very often you know the agency is very creative and he has to access to great technology but the company the brand doesn't understand that doesn't think that way and this is when you know when things might not work out on the other hand if you have companies that embrace design and embrace this and they have changed na that's when you have these jewels and we're talking about it but i guess we need to make a disclosure i am not sponsored by nike but I'm gonna mention nike you know nike their their collaboration with RTA with it with a few band the way they think that they were just awarded the most creative company in the world but my first company yep why and if you look at that if you read the articles and if you see what they're doing everything goes around design everything every single decision everything they are thinking about it we design at its core um you know amazon amazon it's extremely huge success because design is a discord the way you know the experience when you go to the Play amazon com everything is designed in a way that is going to make you have a great experience shopping and that's not just about the user interface but it's about everything ya know well she's a whole supply chain and everything though I would argue and I'm sorry to make a little comment about amazon i would argue that what the part they sometimes like a user delivery because of course they don't own so their tree outsourcing companies deliver you so of course that's what I mean sometimes so I'm very happy with that was a heavy happens amazon user but what I need to get something delivered I get a lot of stuff delivered I mean you're leaving none that everything is delivery depending on which or which provider they actually choose to deliver me the thing sometimes Reese it's a nightmare and actually to get a lot of comments that's the thing is actually good example because people will not complain about whatever provider that came to deliver and made a problem delivering their the product it will actually complete your honest saying you amazon made a problem for me so the brand equity of amazon he is actually getting hurt at that point it's not even though actually the company's just outsources the APNIC flu so this absolutely not all where a brand should be careful about that the experience people usually connect the experience with us with a Bradley actually interested in it it's like you know get an airline I don't care to tell me that the handlers in the airport are outsourced to whoever come whichever company that in that airport at the end of the day for me out bought my ticket plane with that airline and these are the ones I can either complain or going to be happy with now and I guess you see something in the leg come is need to take into consideration that you know even their suppliers or their partners they are representing their brand and exactly what you say once there is a problem you don't think oh well they outsource this so it's not their fault not your thing amazon socks or this airline stocks and what the hell and and this is something that you just create product um so that we can we can slowly go wrapping up this this conversation yeah but we try to show here and exactly sure that the experience and a design experience design would be the charm it's the whole thing that morse many brands have to still switch that and actually if they don't that's you Ed know whether the keyword the buzzword of the past five years especially with startups as being disruption and how everything is disruptive it's not only missing out of acknowledging that Kodak might have missed out the digital it's only missing out the fact that maybe a leaner more integrated friends like for instance for shoes with zappos examples was actually bought by amazon their thought the in-store experience from this from scratch maybe it's easier for them because it built on that designer is like big incumbents big companies have to adapt to the this old design thinking it's much harder because they'd have to break down the silos it's true that social media in a way also helps them get the example of Zappos i remember when i when i saw the CEO he was telling how they hands telephone first and i'm just looking about comes customer support that his telephone that they would actually put in every in the different desk every day that was that direct customer care line so the CEO could answer you an engineer condenser you an HR person can answer you and that creates because then suddenly everybody realizes what Francis the issues are because that's usually where customers are calling and then they can actually start having a design thinking okay maybe I'm not the more responsible for that bug let's say on the website but i understand that basically i'm also part of the entire experience so it's this is very hard for for companies but i think that they have no choice now I think on this ending is askew on me it creates I mean when you separate roles you separate responsible this and he comes this time you know it's very easy at least is the phenomenal this is not my job no and when you get everybody involved everybody is responsible for the output regardless what it ends and this is something that I guess again you know we have a big successful story writer so I don't know I guess I guess you know what we can you know wrapping it up I guess it's really important to understand design how it can have an impact on an organization and not just from the point of view of a product but also throughout the entire experience and how consumers will will interact with it and how they will share with your friends that doesn't social media comes out but everything is together and that's what what in a way I think yours must name you're sure pressed yeah just press wrote very nicely We strongly recommend you to check the article you will find it yeah who put everything Dallas i'm showing down because on digital digital loop dot curl is everything and we also copy of course everything on the facebook page sophistic on / the digital loop and the same thing on the Google+ page which is you just look for the digital loop as well and we also have a Twitter camera where we will link all this as well and actually one during the week is also put putting some articles that are relevant to the show we've been making so you can also follow for during the week about some interesting related satellite articles that we might find that are related to the to defeat okay excellent well thank you so much for a pup okay great thank you so much and see you next week bye buddy

Web application firewall (WAF) - firewall training
your 48 can do many things one of them is using it as a wef that is the web application firewall to protect your web servers from xss cross site scripting or sql injection another thing it can do as part of its swap capabilities is to create http and url constraints let's see it in action [Music] all right so let's log in now remember that wef is by default not enabled so you have to go to system feature visibility web application firewall and apply that feature now wef will only work under proxy so be aware that you're using proxy mode the other thing to do is to head over to security profiles web application firewall where you can create your uh profile so name it let's just name it http constraints and there you will see the different signatures for for known vulnerabilities such as sql injection cross site scripting credit card detection and so on and here you will have the constraints which we will configure immediately using our command line the other thing to note is the http method policy which will be matched in the http request but we will look at the http constraints for now so let's open our cli we're using http constraints to examine web traffic now if we find different patterns or inconsistency or something is not in the standard then it may indicate that there's an attack on our web servers so we configure it using the config web profile now let's edit my profile which i named http and now and we can as you will see we can configure signatures we can configure the http methods and we can configure the constraints which we will do right now now we'll use this show full config so you can see the different constraints we have content length we have header length that is the http header length and so on but what we will do right now is to config the hostname and if we use the show for config by the way when we configure the host name we actually uh tell a fortigate to look for illegal hostname each host name has to have uh its description its name in ascii printed characters so when we use the bigger sign or lesser sign then we are actually using illegal characters in our hostname so we can set the status to enable set the action to block and set the severity uh too high so now let's end so now if we will look at the let's just refresh the page if we look at the constraints we will see that we have enabled the illegal host name and the action is to block the traffic

How to Match QuickBooks Balance Sheet to S-Corp Tax Return - Distribution
okay so how do i make my balance sheet from my books match my balance sheet on my tax return so the concept behind this is that on your tax return your balance sheet on your tax return has one line of retained earnings right and on your books you have retained earnings you have net income you have all your distribution contributions your beginning balances so all of this on your books equals that retained earnings what's listed on your tax return so in your books your your ex that's separating those items whereas on your tax return you just have one line because you know you have distributions on different lines so at the end this is the summary of their retained earnings so last year tax return ending balance the ending number should be the beginning balance of retained earnings on your current tax year rewind it if you need that if you need that wording again but those two numbers basically your current balance current year balance sheet on your books retained earning number should match your last year tax return retained earning number on your tax return so these two numbers your match in this case they're not matching they are but i am overwriting it just for this example so don't look much on the numbers just know that these two numbers are not matching so we need to make an adjustment and for that we will what we will do is we run we click on our distributions numbers or any any equity accounts that it's a distribution account we'll click on that in not on retainer needs because it will not let you click on retainer needs on your books you won't be able to do that so we will open our earnest pay and personal expense and that number it's this number should be zero so this is what was carry from last year and the beginning number should be zero in this case it's not zero that means we did not close our distributions so distribution should be closed after you finish your tax returns on your books you should close it for this year but in this case we didn't close it so we have to make the adjustment the journal entry so this could be a zero number so this is the journal entry distributions is an equity account and this is a negative number so right now it's debiting um our our accounts so we need what we need to do is create a journal entry and credit it credit for that number so this will be a zero okay so we will do the beginning the date will be the beginning of the year so 1-1 of the current year and our account our credit account will be distributions or whatever you put your distributions on and then retain earnings will be the other account that we will debit keep an eye if this is the negative we're going to debit that same account if this is a positive number then we're going to debit it and we will credit retained earnings okay our this description will be to close out our distributions and this is what after entering the journal entry this is what you need to see that this beginning number is zero okay and then by just doing that these numbers should match if the reason why those two numbers are wrong is because you didn't close out distributions again you will click on this number you will click on equity numbers all of those do the journal entry the same general entry to make the number zero and after you do all of them you should match these two numbers should match i will have more videos or stay tuned subscribe for more videos on how to make your balance sheer retained earnings match your tax return so when you do your tax return for the current year your two numbers match and all your number numbers will flow through correctly as you're supposed to please like subscribe and i'll see you in another video thank you

want us to read this text quickly in uh in uh I think in 10 minutes everyone should be done with this text then I would hear what you got from the text have we started reading okay e I am not able to see the third paragraph second two lines okay can you see now yes thank you for okay everyone must be done by now Isa are you done no not yet okay so Isa can you quickly um read from the beginning can you read out yes sure yeah okay so the first European toour North America were Vikings from what is now Norway under a leader Nam Le aricon in about the year thousand they established a settlement in what is now New Foundland but the settlement was soon abundant in 1492 the alian Explorer Kristoph for Columbus sailing on behalf of the king and queen of Spain sail west from Spain in search of a Route One Moment In Search of a route to Asia that would be faster than the traditional route around Africa trade with Asia was very attractive to Europeans so there was great interest in finding a better route Columbus was unaware however that the continents of North America and South America block his path to Asia when Columbus and his crew made landfall in what is now the Bahamas they thought they had reached IC icelands near India of the coast of Asia for this reason they called the people living their Indians after Columbus returned home from the new world he later made three more Ms to Central and South America soon other explorer came to explore the new world in the 15s Spanish explorer came to North America in search of gold John Pon Deon was the first European to read but is now now the United States when he and his crew landed in Florida within a few years Rando D so Soo was sent to settle this area he traveled through much of what is now in the southeastern state and was the first European to reach the Mississippi River Francisco wasu the quand explore what is now the American southwest Americo wpy For Whom the Americas were named was the first European to site the mouth of the Amazon River other European explorers continued Columbus quest to find a sea route to Asia John kabot whose bage was financed by England landed in Canada kabot returned to England to report finding Rich fishing areas the Italian guani the verzano in the service of the French King Francis I explored the Atlantic Co coast of North America he was the first European to enter New York B in 168 Samuel the Champlain established the first permanent French in Canada when he founded a trading post named cubic the Dutch also in search of a way to reach Asia sent English Ship Captain Henry Hudson on this quest in 16009 he sailed up what is now called the Hudson River in New York claiming land on which the Dutch started a colony called New Netherland the next year where wherever the Europeans claimed land in the new world they established and spread their culture their influence including language customs and Foods is visible today okay great I hope SEC you also went through the text okay so this this just shows how the first Europeans uh discovered Americas okay now let us go here quickly read this everyone quietly in five minutes and attempt question one two and three let me see your answers in the chat box okay you e okay e okay so okay see answers yes okay uh Isa for one what's your answer uh two two Pelicans landing on the board okay is that the only answer yes I yes incorrect but I wrote my notebook right sorry that's the only answer it says speak from indicate X next to the statement that helped yes so is is this the only thing that helped them to discover that land was near two Pelicans was it is this the only thing SEC is this the only thing s what's your answer now for number one what there was a light with no wind okay but what's SEC what's your answer okay which other one I'm sorry what did you say this bling I said how many which one did you pick which one did you put an x on uh the the the there was a light rain with no wind this on this one alone right they s day and night and also no no no no no not they sail day and night no this is wrong so let's look at this it says uh 19 this is uh from Columbus diary it says 19th September continued on and sailed day and night 25 leagues experiencing a camp wrote down 22 this day at 10:00 a pelican came on board and in the evening another these beds are not accustom to go 20 leagues from land so that's this shows that they are near land all right if a bir let's say you have your your boat here with your sales on the sea when if you start seeing noticing beds in the air in the sky then there's a signal that there's land nearby okay there's land nearby there's a Shore nearby that's a signal yeah okay to the sailors now it say it drizzled without wind which is a sure sign of land so when you have rain without wind you are close to land all right so the two answers here is the two Pelicans that landed and there was light rain with no wind okay now this says they s day and night this doesn't show that they they were near land you can sail day and night for for days and weeks and you are never you are not even near any little land okay so uh this said the Admiral wanted to keep sing no this is not this is not a statement that helped uh the crew to discover they were near land okay so are two best options here statements are this now for number two what's your answer Isa what do you what do you WR the depth of a body of water okay um s what's your answer for number two h of distance the unit of distance okay okay good all right the unit the right option here is the unit of distance okay it says what is the meaning of the word leag as it is used in this passage okay you can know that if you know leag is used in sports all right just like uh they'll say the La La Liga League the Italian League um the English league okay it's like a sports uh Gathering okay but now in saling in on sea league is a distance is a measurement of distance I think it's like three nautical miles that's what say salor say a league is so from here even if when you read the passage look at the way it is it is mentioned 25 leagues we s day and night 25 leagues you might not understand it here but when you come forward when you go forward here it says this day at 10:00 a pelican came on board and in the evening another these BS are not accustomed to go 20 leagues from land so from this statement 20 leagues from Land it means you can you can deduce that League means distance Isa are you with me yes from this statement here you can dce that League means distance because it says 20 Lees from land that is the beds are not accustom because beds can't fly very far from Land if they fly very far they'll be lost at sea some I just Dro dead after maybe flying flying looking for land for several days and no place to rest on they will just drop dead into the sea okay so but the beds here they know their distance from from the land to the Sea which here a pelican doesn't go more than 20 leagues from land so this Lees here in the sailing term means distance it's a unit of distance okay now number three okay what did you get for number three what was your answer for number three secet what was your answer for number three Okay C is a d d all right now the question says which of the following lines from the passage calls the AU credibility into question credibility means his truthfulness into question all right I think that's the most easiest word all right is credibility into question now let's finish the passage so it says here the Admiral was unwilling to remain here beating about in search of land but he held it for certain that there were Islands to the North and South which in fact was the case and he was sailing in the midst of them his wish was to proceed to the Indies having such fair weather for if it please God as the Admiral says we shall examine this part Upon Our return here the pilots found their place places upon the charts reing of the Nina made her 440 League leagues distance from the canaries that of Pinta 420 that of the admira 400 okay so which of the lines from the passage calls the author's credibility into question it says here a says REO of the Nina made her 440 I think this statement is correct all right this line is correct made 440 leagues uh distance from the canaries B it drizzled without wind which is a sure sign of land this does not this is a correct information here okay so it doesn't question the author's credibility this also is a correct information it doesn't question the author's credibility now look at this see wrote down 22 now look here let's go to where this is mentioned it's mentioned here let us read the sentence before it it says 19th September continued on and sailed day and night 25 leagues experiencing a camp wrot down 22 why why did he write down 22 that's the question there's a question you have to question this author here day and night you said it's 25 leags then suddenly you wrote down 22 are you with me Isa do you follow yes this particular line questions the author's credibility when you read his this uh uh this um text from his diary okay now look at d d says we shall examine this part Upon Our return yeah this is It's a line that uh which was said the Admiral said and which they say if it please God so there's no questioning here of his credibility but this that he wrote down 22 question his what credibility okay so the answer here is C all right are you with me yes okay now let us go to the English colony in Virginia I want us to read this text quietly first in uh six minutes quietly first in six minutes then look at this questions e for e for e for e I sent the answers in the chat okay says b you say a Isa you're not reading reading deeply read deeply before you pick your answers all right Isa I want you to check the other options all right check check the other options before you pick your answers okay now I'm going to read with you now so it says let's quickly read it says the English this is the English colony in V Virginia the English also wanted to establish colonies in North America in 1585 a group of English colonist made a settlement on R ran Ronan K island off the coast of what is now North Carolina however the colonist letter disappeared Without a Trace approximately 20 years later a group of English merchants uh M Merchants were granted permission from the King of England to start a new settlement in North America about 100 people sailed to the area known as Virginia where they established a town called jamest toown this was the first permanent English colony in what is now the United States okay this was the first permanent English colony all right the colony known as what Virginia since the majority of these colonies did not know how to farm most of them soon died definitely out of hunger soon one of the survivors survival John roel learned from the Native Americans in the area that tobacco one minute okay learn from them in the the area that tobacco was a successful local crop knowing that tobacco was popular in England but grew poorly dear the people of Jamestown began growing and selling this crop for which people in England were willing to pay a high price this income allowed the settlers to purchase food and supplies they needed from their home country and thus the colony was able to survive in 1619 the colonies in Virginia created an elected legislature called the house of B uh guesses okay most of these elected representative were members of the Church of England also called the Anglican Church most of the elected representa and soon this became the official official Church of the colony forcing members of other religions to move away from the area George Washington was elected to the house of besses in 1758 and served in this position for 15 years Patrick Harry and Thomas josephin uh Jeffers Jefferson were also members of this legis ISL at the time Washington was elected as a boggers each County sent two Representatives who by law had to be male land owners and at least 21 years old okay are we all following yes yes now it says which of the following contributed to the successful establishment of the colony at James town which of the following now Isa have you re thought your answer yes b b okay yeah growing tobacco for sale to England that's what made them successful okay because they they almost all died except for One Survivor who learned about tobacco all right and was able to sell and they were able to now get what purchase food and supplies for their uh for their for them to what survive okay so B is the right answer here not instituting an official church that's not what made them successful not receiving the king's permission no not creating the house of uh besses no that's not what made them successful what made them successful was growing tobacco for sale to England now number two what Claim about the house of boges can be supported by the text SRA and Isa your both answers were wrong so check this again okay a okay you pick a all right SEC what do you pick speak he are you sure are you sure secret okay good job good job everyone the answer is a what Claim about the house of bogus is can be supported by the text what claim from here from our options what claim you you you both pick D it says here uh most people in Virginia were qualified to be elected to the house of progresses because they own land no it is not most people look at it he said at that time Washington was elected as a bogers each County sent two representative so it is not most people and you have to be male so females were not even involved and you have to be at least you have to be a male land owner and you have to be what 1 years old so not most people no not everyone was qualified okay so this is wrong now look at c c says the house of bases was modeled on the example of the United States Congress nothing nothing like this mentioned here so this is absolutely wrong B says all of the members of the House of boges later became presidents of the United States oh no okay because Patrick Harry never became president but thos je uh Jefferson became president and George uh Washington okay so here a so this does not support this because Patrick Harry never became a president but look look here all right I think hold on let me get my my facts right yes he was the third president all right that's Thomas Josephine was the third president of the United States I'm Jo Wasing Washington was the first president of the United States so this was the first president and Thomas was the third president of the United States okay Patrick hering was never a president okay so this crosses out this all members were not not all of them but look at a he says some important American leaders began their political careers in the house of what progresses see you can see this some important judge very important and Thomas very important so they all began their early political career from the house of what bases okay so a is supported by the text okay that's a claim that is supported by the text all right are you with me yes is everyone with me and are we taking notes of all these um people were talking about the hisory history are we taking notes no hello hello are we are we taking notes no yes why who saying no is that Isa yes I'm taking notes sorry okay it just take notes but you don't need to crme because uh it's just for you to at least have an idea of the US US History okay but in your in your exam there's always a text that you pick from you pick you get your answers from okay but you know just have an idea what happened the exploration how you know how America was discovered by Christopher Columbus you know this is English colony how um you know the in Virginia and what happened you know speaking about the house of uh bogus besses okay and all all right so uh we're going to stop here for today I'm going to send a text for you to read all right and uh oh sorry and homework all right right okay okay all right have a happy happy weekend everyone thank you all right Isa thank you thank you all

More Empires of Mesopotamia
empires of Mesopotamia by Mr amster before you begin please make sure that you have a sharpened pencor pen and a highlighter the first Empire we are going to talk about are the Assyrians and their famous R ruler was Sargon II he took his name to honor the Acadian King Sargon and they Rose to power again around 900 BC they had been in power around the 15 and 16th centuries but they weren't as powerful as they become during the 900s their last capital city was called Nineveh in the north and it was near the Tigers River they also had three other Capital Cities one of the other ones was a sir ass Ur they were masters of War some of the best and they perfected the use of horses in combat iron weapons and Siege weapons now think about it most people are fighting on the ground and you have these huge animals coming at you and people riding on them very fast it was intimidating and they were masters of riding these beasts we know them now as Horses iron weapons are huge and please make a note that they are lighter and stronger than bronze lighter and stronger than bronze now these Siege weapons they created were huge very big they were powerful things like a battering ram we still use battering rams today to take down doors they used them to knock down the walls of Mesopotamia and they created these movable Towers anybody who's seen Lord of the Rings specifically Return of the King has seen movable Towers in action when the orgs tried to get over the walls and defeat the humans the Assyrian Empire stretched from the Nile River across the Fertile Crescent and to the gulf the Persian Gulf that's a pretty big Empire and what it shows is their ability for Conquest they were ruthless and Powerful in battle and few people had the the ability to stand up to them and as I just said they're ruthless and they made conquered people even leave their land if they refused they cut off their heads that's gross they built some of the earliest aqueducts to give their empire water and some stretched as long as 30 miles 30 mil is longer than what it would take to get to Boston that's pretty impressive don't you think they made huge bass reliefs you could also say that they're known as ba or just reliefs and they're very realistic in fact here's an example of one now this is a bachor leaf of an Assyrian King it combines the head of a the head of a human and the body of an animal CU they believed in Duality which means the combination of two things we're going to create our own version of those later this week they created huge libraries and left written records for us to learn from but when you're a master of War you tend to make enemies especially when you're cutting off people's heads people don't like that and in 612 BC notice that it is a specific date unlike with their rise to power which took place around 900 they're defeated by the skians Mees and Babylonians and I'd like you to write in the name also calans CH a l d e a NS calans now please take a moment and highlight all of the words in bold and make sure that you've added in that iron is lighter and stronger than bronze and down here please write in that the calans were also involved now once all of these civilizations got together they formed a new civilization a new Empire that would redefine and honor one of the civilizations we've already talked around can you guess what it is if you said Babylon you're correct the Neo Babylonians now once the calans helped defeat the Assyrians and took control of the Assyrian Empire and this include the city of Babylon they formed a new civilization the Neo Babylon Neo means new their famous ruler was known as Nebuchadnezzar II and he was King of Babylon those of you who have seen the movie The Matrix would know that morpheus's ship is called the Nebuchadnezzar and that's named after Nebuchadnezzar of Neo Babylon bet you didn't know that now he wanted to reclaim the glory of hammer robi's Empire that was destroyed destroyed in six in 600 by the Assyrians Nebuchadnezzar rebuilt the city and they built massive Learning Centers they were skilled in astronomy and Mathematics they charted the path of the Stars they measured the 7-Day week and the length of a year and their most famous structure was know known as the Hanging Gardens of Babylon it was a beautiful garden and in fact it's one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World here's a picture of it now now obviously this is a recreation because no pictures of it have survived no good pictures at least and well it was destroyed but we'll talk about that in just a second now Nebuchadnezzar built it for his wife it's a pretty nice gift and it was but it was sadly destroyed in the first century CE that's Common Era by an earthquake and he built it for her as a wedding gift please make a note of this because she came from a very fertile land and since she was homesick he wanted to make her feel more at home he put up massive walls to help rebuild the city and protect it but the success was very shortlived and in 539 BC once again we're very specific 539 the Neo Babylonian Empire was conquered by the Persians yes the mighty Persians finally rear their heads please take a moment and highlight every word word that is in bold and please make sure you spell Nebuchadnezzar correctly now also add in the date from which the caldan the uh Neo Babylonians were destroyed one final note before you go the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World include many uh many of the things we'll cover this year but perhaps the one you know the best is the pyramidic Giza known as the Great Pyramid and it is the only one that is still around today please make a note of that the end

Chapter 1.4 from The Capitalist Consciousness: Marx and Lacan by Samo Tomsic
the capitalist unconscious marks in la can by samuel tomsek this is part four of chapter one chapter one is called the unconscious politics from socio to marx part 4 is called the logic of surplus and loss the gap between representation and production certainly reflects an inner break in the social link but it also has a structuring function that amounts to the well-known result that drives capitalist social relations it is in this gap that what is called surplus value is produced and falls non-identical to itself the subject no longer enjoys something called surplus juices is lost the double production of the subject of loss in the surplus object is accompanied by the appearance that the object originally belonged to the subject and was only lost at a later stage this appearance is the negative correlate to the fetishization of capitalist abstractions and motivates a misinterpretation of the workers position the psychoanalytic supplement to the marxist critique of fetishism is contained in the very homophony of plus in plu de jouer which means both morse resources and no more jewish the formulation resumes the central freudian thesis that shui sauce knows no right measure and that its production entirely undermines the homeostatic model on which for instance aristotle and ethics as well as economic liberalism built their economic and political theories behind the subjective pursuit of egoistic private interest the multiplicity of small human narcissisms from which for adam smith and other liberal economists somewhat miraculously grows a stable social relation there's a structural loss which in advance corrupts the capitalist pursuit of happiness and its fantastic successor stories in opposition to political economy freud grounded his metapsychological account of libidinal economy and the rejection of the homeostatic model the homeostatic vision of the mental apparatus is definitively abolished and in beyond the pleasure principle where the notion of the death drive the emblem of the constitutive instabilities of libidinal economy enters the picture the two aspects of fetishism are addressed in the cannes formula of fantasy according to which the fetishization varies depending on whether the given conditions are observed from the position of the subject or of the object in the first case the structurally generated appearance suggests that the subject and the object form two compatible halves that could be fused together in a non-problematic totality and the second the subject of valorization appears to be capital itself as the fetishization of capitalist abstractions suggests in any case the subject's non-identity is perceived as secondary and as something that could be abolished simply by correcting the structural relations that brought the subject into existence the standard social democratic scenario moves in this direction including the workers in a more just distribution of profit collective ownership of the means of production regulating financial speculation and bringing the economy down to the solid ground of the real sector more radical political experiments were equally unsuccessful enough in abolishing alienation it's not because one nationalizes the means of production at the level of socialism in one country that one has thereby done away with surplus value if one doesn't know what it is nationalization does not produce the necessary global structural change which would abolish the market of labor and thereby the structural contradiction that transforms the subject into a commodity producing commodity the non-relation between labor power and surplus value remains operative and nationalization in the last instance evolves into a form of state capitalism marx however did not claim that the appropriation of surplus value would abolish the capitalist forms of alienation and fetishization this would suggest that the abolition of capitalists these social fanatics of the valorization of value and personifications of capital would already solve the problem marx's point is rather that capitalism can exist without capitalists because the capitalist drive to self-valuation self valorization is structural systemic and autonomous but there cannot be any capitalism without the proletariat the critical and materialist signification of alienation departs from the autonomy of the signifier and leads to the conclusion that alienation is structure no identity or juice precedes non-identity and loss and consequently no subjective wholeness is abolished and no immediate access to jerusalem's is made impossible but the intervention of the signifier such a position would indeed place psychoanalysis in the symmetrical understanding of alienation which echoes in freud's earlier accounts of the relation between sexuality and culture and eventually infrared marxism identity assumes the same status as the idealist notion of human essence that marx criticized in his predecessors the equivalence between alienation and structure by contrast leaves no doubt that the flip side of the production of surplus is the reproduction of lack the true matter by which the subject is constituted the equivalcity of the pul of the plus in surplus value and surplus resource allows le can to conclude that the discursive structure of capitalism imposes the pronunciation of juices rather than its prohibition this renunciation is what makes of the capitalist a modern master the point is not necessarily self-evident notably if we recall the conclusion of marx's critique of primitive accumulation the founding myth of political economy according to which the capitalist historically accumulated the first wealth through saving while the proletarian enjoyed beyond his limits until he was left solely with his labor power in this process his entire existence was reduced to a labor without qualities which stained his being with having marx mobilizes this main feature of alienation to his own advantage under the abolition of the political economic myth of primitive accumulation in the capitalist universe commodity is not simply yet another private property but the privileged form of being the ontological question of being is thus necessarily preceded and conditioned by the pre-ontological question of having whereby the asymmetry between the subjective lack and objective surplus highlights the modern coordinates of the ontological problematic this effort implicitly traverses marx's critique of materialism in his species on far back and determines its future orientation there is no critique of political economy without an implicit materialist ontology but let us return here to the link between labor and the renunciation of joisos according to lacan this is not the actual novelty of marx and freud's concept of labor their critical contribution is in explaining this renunciation as something that is structurally imposed on the subject by the relations of domination from the very start contrary to what hegel claims or seems to claim it is precisely this renunciation that constitutes the master who knows very well how to make it the principle of his power what is new here is that there is a discourse that articulates this pronunciation and makes it appear within something that it will call the function of surplus resource the correction of the political economic idea of renunciation becomes more evident here the master does not renounce some substantial suicides but instead structurally imposes the renunciation in every subject the equivalency of plus and surplus response again turns out to be crucial surplus resources surplus juices is not some jewish sauce that would reach beyond another's results in the sense that there would be a certain quantities resource to which something more is added the actual correlate to the surplus resonance produced by the same discursive cut is the lack of joy-sauce the renunciation of jesus therefore contains more than the battle for pure prestige through which hegel seems to approach the master slave dialectic the capitalist relations of domination build on this double face of the surplus production goes hand in hand with renunciation the more with the no more the double structural imperative production of surplus and production of lack through renunciation initiates a negative spiral in which no produced surplus is surplus enough the capitalist master constantly demands more the famous encore that le can placed in the title of one of his seminars marx in his turn exemplify this imperative in the so-called abstinence theory of the capitalist but insofar as he is capital personified his motivating force is not the acquisition of enjoyment of use values but the acquisition and augmentation of exchange values he is fanatically intent on the valorization of value consequently he ruthlessly forces the human race to produce for production's sake only as personification of capital is the capitalist respectable as such he shares with the miser an absolute drive towards self-enrichment but what appears in the miser is the mania of an individual is in the capitalist the effect of a social mechanism in which he is merely a cog the master's renunciation of juices lies in the difference between the miser and the capitalist which entails several traps the main one being that the miser can appear in comparison to the capitalist as a subject supposed to enjoy the quoted passage contains the best description of the difference between enjoyment in the vulgar sense and what the can's concept of juices aims at in everyday understanding enjoyment is linked to consumption which still presupposes positive qualities in concrete consumption use value the miser by contrast displays not some other or prefers enjoyment but that which should be properly called juices instead of wasting his wealth on private consumption he accumulates jealously protecting his treasure from the rest of the world first and foremost from his own temptation to waste it in his abstinence the miser does much more than simply renounce some immediate enjoyment in consumption his drive for enrichment can reach satisfaction only in detaching the privileged embodiments of wealth gold and money from their social circulation his entire persona thereby becomes a hostage of the object two things are worth noticing in the difference between the miser and the capitalist which also reveal why the capitalist is a figure of the master while the miser is merely its comical caricature despite being a consequence of the social mechanism the miser's drive is still actualized in the form of his subjective fixation and obsession while the capitalists the same drive is the structuring element of the social link a systemic imperative that is interested solely in values and resonance in the production process the capitalist actualizes the truth of the miser and can become what the miser cannot the personification of the systemic imperative of accumulation of wealth now transformed into capital that is into an externalized social link that no longer includes merely accumulation but also production circulation and individual consumption the capitalist stands for globalization of the drive its sole function is to support and preserve the social implementation of the fanaticism of the demand to which the drive for enrichment is reducible the constant expansion of value the imperative of growth accompanied by the permanent revolution of the means of production and the forcing of populations into precarity all this demands renunciation indebting and production of lack which finally makes of the capitalist an inversion of the miser the social transformation of the spirit of the miser the miser so to speak renounced social relations for the sake of the illusion that the immediate access to jewish songs is possible only in the form of treasure for this reason yusheri has been morally condemned throughout history and the miser fetishized as an obscene subject of juices the miser illustrates marx's remark that capitalism is already essentially abolished once we assume that it is enjoyment that is the driving motive and not enrichment itself to rephrase the miser does not entirely follow through on his attempt to detach the treasure from personal enjoyment he detaches it from everyone including himself but he does not make the juices produced through this very detachment appear as this resonance of the system for the miser sri sauce assumes the finite in empirical form while for the capitalist treasures the more endless the more it is abstract from gold to paper money from paper money to fictitious capital electronic money and so on the miser counts objects his treasure is embodied the capitalist merely counts his treasure is the number consequently fetishization is displaced from concrete materiality to the ghostly materiality of financial abstractions the more surpluses turned into an abstraction the more it pertains to the system and the less the systemic obscenity is visible the enrichment itself becomes a socially acceptable and admirable abstraction but this enrichment contains its inevitable flip side the production of surplus populations the true signification of human capital the equivocity between more and no more and visage's this negative social production surplus value is the cause of desire which a certain economy has made its principle that of the extensive and therefore insatiable production of a lack of chewy sauce or another variation i think i have sufficiently announced from the beginning of this year that surplus resource is something other than resource surplus reissuance responds not to results but to the loss of jesus the epistemological tool that provides an insight into the structure of the libidinal and the social economy is the second law of thermodynamics which explains the flow of energy from regions with higher temperature to regions with lower temperature thereby introducing the notion of entropy the notion already supported marx's analysis of the extraction of surplus value from the consumption of labor power the same asymmetry is reflected in the broader social context the accumulation of wealth accompanied by the accumulation of misery the revolution of the means of production combined with the production of a surplus population the capitalist social link is structured like entropy the can approaches energetics through the autonomy of the signifier and in visages in entropy a real structure which provides privileged insight into social contradictions in this epistemological reading energy is d substantial d substantialized and ontologically problematized energy is not a substance which for example improves or goes sour with age it's a numerical constant that a physicist has to find in his calculations so as to be able to work without this constant which is merely a combination of calculations you have no more physics the condition that the system be mathematically closed prevails even over the assumption that it is physically isolated lacan in fact criticizes freud's energetic theory of the unconscious which under the pretension to provide positive scientific foundations for psychoanalytic concepts ended up in a substantialist reading both of the objects of natural sciences and of his own inquiries in freud's mature work the unconscious and the drive indeed obtained a problematic status beginning to designate positive ontological entities that freud no longer strive to explain through discursive causality but rather through the speculative phyllogenetic development stretching from protozoa to the human libido when the can took freud's early insight on the linguistic nature of the unconscious seriously he directed psychoanalysis away from positivism and biobiologism in the above quote le can extends the same critical move to the natural sciences claiming that their discoveries do not simply relate to an unproblematic empirical reality but instead question the solidity and university of its ontological foundations such an interrogation is possible only under the condition that the relation between discourse and the real is no longer subsumed under the ideal of adequate in which discourse as lacan occasionally remarks is considered to have no consequences whatsoever the lycanian distinction between reality and the real moreover results from this extension of the structural reading of psychoanalysis to the entire scientific modernity in short the difference between the two orders consists in the fact that reality designates merely the way the real appears to the human observer reality as a grimace of the real while the reel to put it paradoxically stands for the way the real appears to the autonomy of the discourse eg to mathematical language when the signifier is introduced as an apparatus of choices we should thus not be surprised to see something related to entropy appear since entropy is defined precisely once one has started to lay this apparatus as signifiers over the physical world we can hear the echo of alexander koire's thesis that modern science no longer explains the empirical world in opposition to the aristotelian and medieval science which uses mathematics in order to save the appearances of course the real cannot be the same in physics psychoanalysis or critique of political economy which deal with different orders of reality physical subjective social but also with different versions of discursive autonomy formal language the signifier value what does unite them however is the logical procedure according to which all these discourses encounter and formalize the respective structure of the real in which objects like energy should we source and surplus value can be theorized another way to situate the difference between reality and the real would be that in reality the process of montage or construction is at stake while the real demands decomposition and dissolution of appearances in scientific discourse in scientific discourse the reel is what remains for formalization to grasp once this decomposition has reached its bottom line or as lachen puts it the reel is what makes a hole in this articulated semblance that is the scientific discourse scientific discourse progresses without being preoccupied with question of whether it is assemblant or not what is important is what it is or what it what is important is that its network its web its lattice as we say makes the right holes appear in the right place its sole reference is the impossible to which its deductions amount this impossible is the real we can reach something real in physics precisely through the discursive apparatus as far as it as far as it and its rigor encounters the limits of its consistency in this respect natural sciences contain a much more dialectical speculative and anti-empiricist kernel than the positivist epistemologies are willing to acknowledge the encounter of the reel takes place when the discourse faces its own inconsistency and not some absolute and substantial empirical outside the actual site of the encounter is not in experimentation but in formalization and in the deadlocks that accompany the scientific discourse on the path that leads to the resolution abolition or reduction of an epistemological deadlock verification of a hypothesis is already a step towards normalization a moment of stabilization and reconstruction of reality as the can often repeats reality is what functions and the functioning is what the master constantly demands whereas the real is what does not function something that violates or distorts the automatic repetition and flawless circulation of a discursive mechanism this is one of the main lessons that can be drawn from quarry's interpretation of modern scientific revolution the scientific encounter of the real therefore rejects the all-too-simple distinction between extra-linguistic and intra-linguistic reality it takes place within discourse but throws it out of joint pushing discursivity to its limits where the real is inscribed into the symbolic science exposes a dimension of language that is freed of its communicative meaningful and pragmatic function in the same move it rejects the substantialization of the real and the transcendentalism of the symbolic showing that the real is neither an unattainable thing in itself nor an unproblematic exteriority and language is no prison without walls from which it is impossible to escape psychoanalysis and the critique of political economy are conditioned by this epistemological paradigm the unconscious and class struggle to real cracks in social and the subjective reality can be encountered by pushing the discursive consistency to its limits lycan's comments thus combine the epistemological and the political problematic that correlates the scientific discovery of labor power to the economic mathema mathematization of surplus value which abolished its pre-modern mystification in the background we can perceive an outline of another homology this time between science and capitalism it may appear that lacan thereby came close to heidegger's pessimistic vision in which science is reduced to its instrumental and technological essence this reduction culminating in the controversial high dagarian remark that science does not think bears the mark of fetishization according to heidegger the the realization of modern science and technology accomplishes the historical process of the oblivion of being that that determined western metaphysics with the globalization of abstract calculation the paradigmatic case of non-thinking which unites the scientific and the economic thoughtless and therefore empty reason the oblivion of being itself fell into oblivion this is what heidegger calls the danger in this dark scenario only poetic thinking can render the authentic original sense of being and overcome the domination of scientific calculus and capitalist abstractions the negative fetishization of science is supplemented by the positive fetishization of poetry which is for heidegger the language of being yet the can never adopted heidegger's antagonistic reading of mathematical language versus poetic language what he did seem to endorse is the idea that modern science contains an ontological scandal that does not stand so much for the oblivion of the question of being but instead reveals an unbridgeable gap between thinking and being as well as between being and the real formalization is an exemplification of a concurrent sameness concerning thinking in the real but the price for this sameness is the separation of thinking from being and consequently the decentralization or alienation of thinking the radicalization of the structuralist project replaces the question of being with the examination of the ways in which the autonomy of the signifier enables thinking to encounter within being more than being something that is neither being nor non-being but non-realized it is no coincidence that heidegger never thematized the philosophical importance of freud's discovery of the of the unconscious this paradigmatic example of a paradoxical entity that neither is nor is not but insists in the state of repression as the persistence of the non-realized and thinking it is also not surprising that the can found in mathematics the privileged correspondent in rethinking the ontological status of the unconscious and other real consequences linked to science thereby making an anti-hydarian move par excellence the epistemological and political orientation of the return to freud thus displaces the accent from does science think to what form of thinking does modern science ground in for lacan there is no dilemma science thinks and its thinking challenges the classical philosophical ideal of the thinking of thinking as well as the foundation of ontology on the postulate of the sameness of thinking and being as a language that fits the scientific discourse best mathematics is science without consciousness the one that our good old rebel promised us and in face of which a philosopher can only remain stupid gay science is thrilled when it observes in this the ruin of the soul but of course neurosis survived it the modern foundation of science are not autonomous signifier abolish the hypothesis of a centralized thinking that philosophy nevertheless renewed through the subject of cognition a science without consciousness without the subject of cognition as its central instance mathematics detaches language from communication the real from being and thinking from itself marx and freud repeat these moves and their analyses of the commodity form and unconscious formations two concrete examples of decentralized thought the abolition of the soul was the necessary epistemological condition for freud's etiology of neuroses a theory of causality that departs from the signifier as the material cause of shree sauce and a materialization of the gap between thinking and being yet the subversive potential of mathematical language encounters its limit precisely in the commodity form which builds on the same discursive autonomy and through which the capitalist fetishization of economic abstractions reintroduces the hypothesis of the soul through the back door the quantity soul and the spectrality of capital that vitalizes the modern universe the global market becomes the general formal envelope of thinking thereby necessarily channeling all the subversive potential of modern science into the permanent revolution of the means of production at a later point le can distinguish between thinking science and objectified science which immediately addresses its ambiguity in the capitalist framework the distinction does not necessarily suggest that we are dealing with a good revolutionary science which unmasks the illusory character of traditional and modern world views as freud claimed and the bad commodified science that supports the perpetuation and reproduction of capitalism rather the distinction insists that the decentralization of thinking the revolutionary dimension of science without consciousness is inseparable from the historic genesis of a specific form of this decentralization the commodity form but it does situate science as one of the central terrains of struggle against capitalism together with the epistemological conditions of the commodity form and the fetishization tied to capitalist abstractions modern science provides the necessary conditions for the invention of critical and conflictual sciences such as psychoanalysis and the critique of political economy in his analysis of the capitalist transformation of labor marx already encountered an essential scientific operation that lacan named de duxian material reduction the condensation of labor into labor power which stands at the origin of the absolute the absolutization of the market is a productive abstraction that seemingly reduces different forms of concrete labor but in fact amounts to new materiality of the subject material reduction is at work and every placement of the network of signifiers over a given reality be it physical social or subjective but it also concerns the entire history of logic in which the autonomy and the materiality of the signifier is progressively isolated the material reduction means that logic begins at a precise date in history when someone who had an understanding of this substituted certain elements of language that function in their natural syntax with a simple letter and this is what inaugurates logic introducing a and b instead of saying if this then if this then that does not seem to have any dramatic consequences however aristotlean logic is merely the first step towards the autonomy of the signifier the subordination of the signifier to the letter which is still consistent with aristotle's organic notion of language the actual subversion takes place in modernity when the new foundation of science brings about a different result the mathematic the mathematization of the signifier uncovering the distinction between reality and the real a concrete case of this development is again offered by the historical transformation of the market which besides the condensation of labor consisted in the quantification of surplus object something changed in the master's discourse at a certain point in history we are not going to break our backs finding out if it was because of luther or kelvin or some unknown traffic of ships around genoa or in the mediterranean sea or anywhere else for the important point is that on a certain day surplus resource became calculable could be counted totalized this is where what is called the accumulation of capital begins the extension of mathematization to economic reality the capture surplus value and the isolation of labor power initiated a groundbreaking change in the master's discourse the discursive structure that comprises both the logic of the signifier and the relations of domination what matters in approaching the origins of capitalism is that concrete transformations in trade centers like genoa and venice were already embedded in a broader movement of scientific revolution which found its ultimate expression in the implementation of formalization in the sphere of social production we could paraphrase marks here the merchants did not know what they were doing nevertheless they were doing it the revolution was initiated before any attempt in writing a capitalist manifesto was undertaken the subjective and the social surplus that antiquity in christianity treated as a deviation from a pre-supposed normative model of social relations was integrated into the constitution of social reality marx's capital provides the first rigorous thought of this epistle epistemological revolution which implies a strictly determined notion of structure structure is therefore the real this is in general determined by its convergence towards the impossible precisely in this the structure is real within the syrian paradigm such a con such a conception could not have been formulated yet it is inevitable once structuralism is coupled to marx's materialist dialectics lacan's marx is a structuralist avan la letra someone who enabled structuralism to walk on its feet again by departing from the problem of discursive production with the reinforced materialist orientation material reduction too becomes more than an operation of scientific formalization and of capitalist commodification it becomes the privileged tool of critique for exposing the deadlocks and contradictions in the given regime of production by grasping discourse at the root where it most effectively determines the constitution of the subject the critique of political economy effectively demonstrates that mathematical logic is highly essential for your existence in the real whether you know it or not evidently it is essential for pointing out the terrain where politics needs to intervene in order to bring about the double transformation of the subject and of the social link it is at this point that the freudian notion of the unconscious most decisively continues the epistemol political orientation of mark's critique you
